"The current population of Sigmaringen is about 700,000, while there are less than 50,000 white immigrants and more than 600,000 Chinese."

"You East Africa are eating and wiping clean in front, and we can't recruit many Germans in Sigmaringen at all, and even Romanians don't have a strong momentum to develop in Chad."

No wonder Prince Karl was excited, although he complained a little, but Ernst could better understand Prince Karl's mood, mainly because the wealth was moving, because now the royal domain of Sigmaringen has begun to "make a profit".

Sigmaringen's investment in the Chad region has been going on for several years, and today the Sigmaringen Crown has grown to a size.

Of course, the royal territory of Sigmaringen naturally cannot be compared with East Africa, but it also has a pivotal position in the world's colonies, with an area of nearly one million square kilometers alone, compared to Belgium, Italy and other African colonies, which are not a little bit larger, and only East Africa, France, and Britain can suppress the royal territory of Sigmaringen in Africa.

With the backdrop of a large tree and the support of East Africa, Africa's largest power, Sigmaringen has reaped benefits unimaginable to many countries with very little investment.

Among them, the largest investment is the western section of the East African Northern Railway, but the bulk of the Northern Railway is mainly borne by East Africa, so Sigmaringen can be regarded as borrowing the light of East Africa.

After the completion of the Northern Railway, the royal population of Sigmaringen increased dramatically, and a large number of immigrants passed through the Northern Railway in East Africa and finally entered the Chad region.

Of course, as Prince Karl said, the main problem in Sigmaringen is that it is difficult to absorb the German population, and can only eat the leftovers of East Africa, and there are even many East Africans in the current Sigmaringen Crown Domain government.

There is no way to do this, because Sigmaringen immigrants are mainly immigrants from the Far Eastern Empire, so the experience in governing the Chinese will naturally be handed over to the Sigmaringen royal territory by the East African government.

Ernst said: "Uncle Karl, the development of the Sigmaringen royal family territory is indeed quite unexpected, if it were not for the Berlin Conference to divide the colonial pattern of West Africa in advance, maybe Sigmaringen can also replicate the glory of our Heixingen royal family in eastern and southern Africa, but you entered Africa too late, if it is more than ten years earlier, I believe it will definitely be stronger than the current East Africa." ”

Ernst said these words, naturally there is a basis, the royal family of Sigmaringen was much stronger than the royal family of Hexingen, Sigmaringen itself is much larger than Hexingen, the economy is developed, and later Sigmaringen won the rule of Romania with the help of Napoleon III, and almost became the new master of Spain.

Therefore, Sigmaringen went to Africa more than ten years earlier to develop a colony, it is not necessarily worse than East Africa, of course, theory is just theory, Ernst's greatest wealth is actually from the experience and knowledge of previous lives, without these as a basis, East Africa could not have developed so quickly, just a single way of malaria transmission, Ernst does not say, will cause big trouble.

"Alas, it looks good, but the traffic in Sigmaringen's royal domain is a flaw, Chad is located in the interior of Africa, too far from the mouth of the sea, and a lot of the land is actually desert, if it were not for the large enough area, and the lake Chad provides sufficient water, perhaps Chad would not even be able to compare with the Belgian or Italian colonies in Africa." ”

In terms of the environment, Ernst is not worthy of Chad, but it depends on who compares it, the natural conditions in the southwest of the Italian Red Sea Colony are really good, but other regions are more dominated by deserts, as for the Belgian Congo, it is also dominated by green deserts and tropical rainforest climate.

Of course, these two places crush the royal domain of Sigmaringen just by owning the port, and of course, with the current support of the Northern Railway, the gap between the two sides in transportation is not obvious, such as the port of Pointe-Noire in Belgium, although the natural conditions are good, but the degree of development is extremely low.

Italy is better in this regard, because Italy is a country with a population spillover, and with a population, there is a certain amount of economic support, so at present, the actual development of Italy's Red Sea colonies is good, especially in the years when the armistice with the Abyssinian Empire has been developed rapidly.

The Kingdom of Italy has invested far more in the construction of the Red Sea colonies than in previous generations, and it is really regarded as a local construction, and if the Red Sea colonies become independent in the future, they should be considered a good country in Africa.

At present, the number of Italians in the Red Sea colonies is estimated to be between seven or eight hundred thousand, which is the same as the royal domain of Sigmaringen, which greatly alleviates the social contradictions in the Kingdom of Italy.

Ernst: "The most important thing to do now in Sigmaringen is to actively get in touch with the German colony of Cameroon, but the Cameroonian colony is only in the coastal area, and it is very difficult to communicate with each other. ”

The Cameroon colony is the fastest access to the sea in Sigmalingen, and the biggest advantage is that Cameroon is a German colony.

The Heshingen royal family established the kingdom of East Africa, dominated southern Africa, and after the South African War, it held the royal territory of Romania and Sigmaringen, with a land area of more than one million square kilometers and a ruling population of one million.

At this time, the Hohenzollern family was unprecedentedly powerful, and culturally, everyone was also German, of course, Sigmaringen was a little special, Romania had its own historical and national cultural characteristics, and the main population of the Sigmaringen royal domain was also Chinese.

But in both regions, Romanians have a good impression of Germany, while the Sigmaringen royal domain is entirely dominated by German culture.

However, the population of Sigmaringen was so small that Prince Karl had to go to the Swaite Palace to complain to Ernst.

Of course, Ernst himself did not care about this, because his position on the Sigmaringen royal territory was a population buffer, and it did not matter whether it was white or Chinese, as long as it was not black and green.

In his previous life, the European refugee crisis and the problem of racism in the United States left too deep an impression on Ernst, so for the sake of the future development of East Africa, it is better to take the initiative to build a population reservoir around East Africa.

This is also an important reason why Ernst can tolerate and even support Italy and Belgium's colonization in northern East Africa, if there is no country colonizing northern East Africa, Ernst himself has to knock down the periphery, and then engage in a wave of feudal system, establish a non-black and green country, used to block the direct connection between North Africa, West Africa and East Africa.

And if Italy and Belgium do the same, they can also be maximized, both of which are small but not small in terms of population.

East Africa itself has a large number of undeveloped areas, and it is simply not able to expand into West and North Africa, and the expansion of territory into these two places is also prone to arouse the hostility of the international community.

Take Tsarist Russia as an example, a large area of permafrost and extreme cold in the east was not effectively developed in the 19th century, if this part is removed, the core area of Europe is only a few million square kilometers, and the land conditions in the European part of Tsarist Russia are not very good, and regions such as Ukraine and Poland are still at risk of independence.

It can be said that except for Southwest Africa, other regions in East Africa have conditions for agricultural development, even in the Congo Basin, there are most areas suitable for agricultural cultivation, but there is too much good land in East Africa, and there is no need to develop the places with poor conditions.
