As far as East Africa is concerned, in fact, the population of East Africa is not small, and in the international community, East Africa is also one of the few countries with a population of more than 50 million.

The fundamental reason for the current population shortage in various places is that population migration is a big project, which cannot be completed in a short period of time, especially in Angola and Mozambique, where the population of each place is not short of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, but millions of people.

And this is only the minimum demand, with the conditions of Angola and Mozambique and other places, it is reasonable to accommodate tens of millions of people, in the previous life Angola and Mozambique were countries with a population of more than 30 million, which together are more than the current population of East Africa, so at the current stage, no one in East Africa will think that the population is large, but the more the merrier.

The migration of millions of people is not something that can be completed in a short period of time for East Africa, and it can certainly be done compulsorily regardless of the cost, but it is not cost-effective, which will have a huge impact on the economic development of the people who move out.

For example, although the province of New Baden only supports a few thousand people in Orange, it has reached the point where it is broken, and the provincial government of New Baden does not want to come out without the mandatory requirements of the central government.

……

First Town City.

"Your Royal Highness, there are people all over East Africa now, this is a telegram sent to us by the Orange Regional Government the day before yesterday, they are now in urgent need of at least 30,000 blacks, and at the same time it would be better if they could give some professional workers, because the infrastructure conditions in the Kimberley region are not bad, and there are many infrastructure left by the British."

"Now Orange is not even black?" Ernst asked.

"There is no way to do this, at present, the most in the whole Orange area is the army, in addition to the army, the population of the entire Orange is less than 10,000 people, so now they can only think of a way from the blacks, and there are not many black people in Orange, there are few blacks in South Africa, and the Orange area is one of the more prominent places."

Von der Leyen's words reminded Ernst of the east of East Africa, where blacks have become completely history, of course, this does not mean that there are no blacks in the east, but that the black settlements in the east have been dismantled in East Africa, and all blacks in the east have been incorporated into "labor registration".

The eastern part is arguably the only region that has been de-blackized, and there are still a large number of black settlements in the central and western regions, which also reflects the population distribution of East Africa.

More than seventy percent of the population of East Africa is concentrated in the East African plateau and the eastern coastal areas, and the East African plateau alone has reached 40 percent, but the area of the East African plateau is only equivalent to one-tenth of the country, which is the embodiment of the uneven distribution of population, if it is not for the development of the central provinces, the proportion will only be more exaggerated.

The population of the four provinces in the central part of the country (including Hesse) is more than 10 million, which is barely up to the standard, and the central and eastern regions are relatively closely connected economically, and the population resources in the eastern part of the country are also tilting towards the central region.

Excluding the central and eastern regions, the rest of East Africa has a combined population of about 5 million, and it is spread across more than a dozen provinces, concentrated in the north and south.

This does not include Angola and Mozambique, which have just been incorporated into East Africa, so even the regions that have long been incorporated into East Africa are lined up, and it is almost impossible for East Africa to take care of all regions.

Of course, the Kimberley could not afford to lag in the Orange region, and Ernst believed that the Kimberley was better off than much in East Africa, and that if it was restored to the size of the city under British rule, it could become the second largest city in the south after the port of New Hamburg.

"Kimberley can be a priority development area in the Orange region, after all, the Kimberley is famous for its diamond industry, and this is a profitable point in the short term, so let the east, especially the diamond mining regions, squeeze in and organize a group of experienced workers to come to Kimberley to restore local diamond production," Ernst said. ”

In the past, Kimberley's biggest competitor was East Africa, diamond is distributed in almost every province in East Africa, from the northernmost Nile Basin to the southernmost South African plateau, from the west to the east, there are considerable diamond reserves in the whole of East Africa, and East Africa only develops the eastern diamond mining area, and the diamond development in the central region is generally mined as a by-product of other mineral development.

After all, the value of diamond in the industrial and jewelry fields is relatively high, and the low price is not very beneficial to East Africa.

Even so, the development of East Africa still lowered the world diamond price, which is probably the main reason why Britain gave up Kimberley interests, of course, at a deeper level, East Africa has pulled down the population of Orange, so that Kimberley can not continue to maintain normal production, and the employment of East African workers is not cheap, and East African laws must be followed, which is the most unacceptable to British talents.

In fact, there are labor laws in East Africa, but they are not strictly enforced, but if you hire them from abroad, it is a different matter.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, at the moment, we should still think of more ways to improve overseas immigration, overseas immigration is cheaper than the migration of domestic people, and it will not interfere with the normal order of production and life." Von der Leyen proposed.

"But for the sake of national equilibrium, where do we now bring in Germans? Now the German region of Europe is not the same as more than ten years ago, since the reunification of Germany and the rapid economic development of Austria-Hungary, almost no more population outflow. Ernst said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we have all ignored a problem, that is, now that the main ethnic group of our East Africa has been constructed, we can also learn from the United States and other immigration countries, and appropriately relax immigration restrictions, which will not change the culture and demographic structure of our East Africa." Von der Leyen said.

Von der Leyen's words woke up Ernst, now is indeed different, in the past, East Africa had to shape cultural identity, but now that the mainstream cultural configuration of East Africa is quite perfect, it is not a problem to bring in non-Germans at this time.

Von der Leyen continued: "Especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire, although the economy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is developing rapidly, but the domestic economic development is uneven, except for Venice, Austria and Bohemia (Czechoslovakia), the economic situation in other regions is actually not very good, and the fertility rate is relatively high, such as Hungary is a high-quality object for us to absorb the population, after all, under the rule of Habsburg, Hungary and other Austro-Hungarian peoples have no difference in living habits from the Germans. ”

Enstie nodded: "That's very good, I did ignore this problem, in this case, let the immigration department make a plan, and the various departments cooperate, we bring in the population from Austria-Hungary, then there must be a sufficient supply of jobs, so that a large part of the native population can be replaced, and then let them go to the west and south." ”

Naturally, the introduction of immigrants from abroad cannot be directly supplemented to Angola and other places, after all, East Africans are a minority there, and if overseas immigrants are directly supplemented to these areas, I am afraid that there is a risk of being occupied by doves.

When the time comes, it will be a reproduction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so the migration of people from the later annexed areas is still "native citizens first", and as for the vacancies left by them, they happen to be filled by overseas immigrants.

Moreover, if the supplementary immigrants were mainly inhabitants of the backward regions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they would have been able to integrate more quickly into the East African environment, after all, under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they had long been accustomed to the German way of life.

East Africa is regarded as catching the wool of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is also a matter of no way, like Germany, East Africa will not consider it, because the development of Germany is relatively balanced, and the economic level is about the same, so it is more difficult to fool the population from Germany, of course, the situation is just the opposite more than ten years ago.
