Chapter 111 Chapter 110 Image Civilization
The current population of East Africa (counting the aborigines) is equivalent to that of the British Australian colony, but this population is not enough to fully develop East Africa.
Different from British colonies such as Canada and Australia, behind them stands the thriving British Empire.
So although Canada and Australia have small populations, security is not a problem, especially Australia, which is surrounded by sea and has no foreign enemies.
And behind the East African colonies are only the Ernst and Hechingen consortia, which cannot stand the toss.
The only way to master East Africa is to continue to immigrate. With a larger population, the natural security will be safer.
Just like the Ottomans and the Far East, when facing the great powers, although they were forced to give up some of their benefits, with their considerable population and size, no one could take it all at once.
Of course, negative material like India does not count, so national cohesion is not a castle in the sky, but really exists.
In order to ensure the stability of East African rule, it is necessary to continuously strengthen the sense of identity of immigrants, assimilate and eliminate their unique culture, and finally form a set of cultural identity unique to East Africa.
If you engage in Western ethnology, it will definitely bury the root of disaster, so even if it is a black aborigine, Ernst does not deny his IQ.
When Ernst compiled the colonial textbooks, he described the black aborigines as being able to be transformed through education, but influenced by history and culture, the cost of transformation was extremely high.
Ernst didn’t say that blacks are inferior to other races, but blacks can’t even farm land, they are still in an extremely primitive stage, and their ideology can’t be corrected without hundreds of years.
And if the blacks are not expelled, where is the land in East Africa for you immigrants to survive, so you must learn to be grateful, keep in mind your identity as East African Germans, and give back to the motherland in the future.
It is better to be honest with each other than to be exposed in the end. All East African immigrants are now Ernst’s accomplices. In the future, the descendants of East African immigrants will not be able to count on their ancestors.
As for racism, Ernst himself does not believe in this set, let alone use this set of theories in East Africa.
In the East African history textbook, in the chapter on the origin of human beings, Ernst set the origin of human beings in East Africa (actually, human fossils in East Africa were discovered in the late 20th century), and divided human beings into three branches. West Africa, one to the Middle East, one to the coast.
Correspondingly, it is black, Eurasian, and brown.
Eurasians are subdivided into three subdivisions, one is the Mediterranean race (Romans and Arabs), black hair and black eyes; East Asian race, black hair and black eyes; Nordic race, blond hair and blue eyes.
The explanation for skin color is that according to latitude, generally the higher the latitude, the whiter the skin color, so different skin colors are caused by environmental changes.
The explanation of why the Nordic race is blond and blue-eyed is caused by genetic variation. The argument is that the races in other parts of the world are all black-haired and black-eyed, while the Nordic race has a variety of hair and pupil colors that are unstable (brown, gold, red...)
Black people, needless to say, live in a low latitude, with strong sunshine and poor clothing all the year round. So after tens of thousands of years of precipitation, it has become what it is today.
If this set of theories is spread back to Europe, Ernst will definitely become the object of verbal criticism by European white leftists. Unfortunately, this is East Africa. Ernst speaks his mind. The only person who is qualified to criticize Ernst is Maximilian I. .
However, Maximilian I recognized the textbooks compiled by Ernst very much, because when he was the emperor of Mexico, there were many Indians under his rule. As a monarch, although he did not know where Ernst found the fallacy, But Maximilian I thought Ernst was right.
Classifying all races into one big family, and adopting part of Darwin's theory, can eliminate the contradictions among the various races in East Africa. It was said that in the future, the worldview of these children who learn East African textbooks will be recast when they grow up. .
Of course, this set of textbooks also magnifies Ernst's own stains. Since you don't admit that black natives are inferior races, then you still treat these black natives so cruelly. Isn't that simply bad?
Logically, this is true, but Ernst doesn't care at all, he just bears the infamy of colonizers and invaders.
Throughout human history, as long as those same people are victors, there will always be people who will commemorate him, such as those great emperors in Russia, Emperor Qin and Han Wu in the Far East.
In the future, as long as East Africa is guaranteed to continue as a civilization as a whole, those in later generations will also remember Ernst's achievements, even if this achievement is based on the blood and tears of the indigenous people.
Therefore, shaping the overall national cultural identity of East Africa is the only card Ernst can play, and it is also the theoretical basis for the future Hechingen royal family to rule East Africa.
Just like religion, there is a theory of conversion. Ernst intends to engage in cultural conversion and promote German culture in East Africa.
In East African education and publicity, Germany is no longer the patent of the Germans, but all those who are willing to live in the German way of life and accept the influence of German culture and education.
This turned the narrow national Germany into a civilized Germany. Germany in East Africa is not a nation, but a civilization.
For the German immigrants in East Africa, it doesn’t matter as long as the culture in East Africa is still dominated by the German region.
For other immigrants of non-traditional German nationality, this has found a theoretical basis for their own integration into East African life. I am a person who accepts and agrees with German culture, so I am a German in theory.
In order to promote this theory, it is necessary to achieve the equality of identity of all races, even for indigenous people.
Although Ernst persecuted black aborigines, he admitted that blacks are the same as other races, and there is no difference in intelligence and other aspects.
This is knowingly committing crimes, and Western colonists are more moral than Ernst in this respect, because they think blacks are an inferior race, then they find excuses for their crimes, which basically means that they are not a species with themselves Yes, at most they look a bit alike.
In comparison, Ernst is deliberate, purely for his own benefit to drive away black natives, force them to do manual labor, and indirectly participate in trafficking.
Like a criminal, some criminals don’t think they are committing a crime, but Ernst belongs to the kind of person who knows that he is committing a crime and continues.
