Chapter 183 arrives
In the study.
After sending his father away, Ernst breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the matter has come to an end, he can only respect his father's decision.
At present, it seems that it is indeed the best way to let his father go to East Africa to sit in charge. Prince Constantine's prestige and ability are sufficient, and there is no one in his own colony who dares to provoke a monarch from Europe.
The awe of the nobles is engraved in the hearts of immigrants. The immigrants in the East African colonies are all immigrants from feudal or dictatorial areas (Paraguay), so they naturally have awe of the nobles.
Officials and mercenaries in the East African colonies are all Germans, and they know the status of a German monarch, and they are also workers. Most of them will not stay in East Africa in the end, and most of them are retired from the Prussian army. I'm not young anymore, so I won't be able to stay in East Africa for long.
As for the students of the Hechingen Military Academy, they must have obeyed Prince Constantine's words. After all, the Hechingen Military Academy was built in Hechingen, and Prince Constantine was also a frequent visitor to the Hechingen Military Academy. deal with them.
Finally, there are a small number of employees of the Hexingen Consortium, and they are often rotated. They are mainly responsible for economic affairs in East Africa, that is, auditing accounts.
In other words, there is no objection to Prince Constantine in the whole of East Africa. After all, the royal family of Hexingen is the master of East Africa, which is well known to East Africans.
It's just that it's hard for immigrants in East Africa to meet legendary characters, just like the emperor, who stays in the deep palace all his life without affecting his status as the supreme ruler.
Ernst sat back at the desk again, looking at the unfinished upgrade plan for the first town on the table, he had to go back to the furnace and rebuild.
With Constantine's factors added, the First Town will definitely not be able to upgrade and renovate according to the original design.

"Who, don't move!" On the border of Yeke Kingdom, a few natives suddenly blocked the way of Merke and his party.
"Bring the native translator!" Becker ordered to the soldiers behind him.
Soon, a dark and shabby native was picked out from the end of the line. He was the translator hired by the East African colony. It is definitely impossible for East Africans to learn the native language, so they can only be selected from the native slaves.
Among the one-hundred-thousand-thousand indigenous slaves, there are always a few people with good language talents who learned German through contact with the East African colonies, so they were temporarily used by the East African colonies as translators.
"Tell them that we are guests from afar, and we have no malice towards them." Becker said to the translator.
So the translator began to relay Becker's words to the other party, and the two sides began to communicate.
"Where are you from?" the native asked cautiously.
"Countries in the East." Becker said.
Hearing Becker's words, the face of the aborigine on the opposite side obviously changed drastically, although because of his skin color, he couldn't see anything.
East, that must be the existence of the East African colony. The Yeke Kingdom and the East African colony have also dealt with several times, especially when the East African colony expelled the natives to the southwest and northwest regions.
At that time, some of the Eastern Bantu natives who entered the southwest entered the Malawi Kingdom, and some entered the Yeke Kingdom.
Among them, many of the Eastern Bantu aborigines who entered the Yeke Kingdom were appeased by Msiri. After all, Msiri also came from the Tanganyika region.
These people spread the terror of the East African colony to the entire Yeke Kingdom, and described the East African colonial army as the army of the devil.
The upper echelons of the Yeke Kingdom and some soldiers certainly didn’t believe the nonsense of these Eastern Bantus. After all, it’s not like they haven’t seen firearms, and even the Yeke Kingdom itself has an army equipped with only muskets.
However, more people in the Yeke Kingdom believed it, and they all said that three people become tigers, and tens of thousands of mouths can make death into life.
And the civilians of the Yeke Kingdom themselves believe that their king and the East African colony are the same group of devils. After all, they both come from the East and they all use firearms.
The Yeke Kingdom took in a small number of East Bantu natives who were expelled from East Africa. At the beginning, most of the natives were driven to the Northwest by East Africa.
The remaining small part was divided into more than half by the Kingdom of Malawi, and there were not many Eastern Bantu natives in the Yeke Kingdom.
For the sake of fellow countrymen, Msiri issued a large-scale order and appointed these Eastern Bantu people to suppress opponents in the Yeke Kingdom and surrounding forces.
The army of the Yeke Kingdom has also become a paradise for these natives from the Tanganyika region. Except for the most elite firearms troops in Msiri's hands, the army of the Yeke Kingdom is basically composed of more heroic and militant Eastern Bantus.
The aborigines who blocked the way of Becker and others were the aborigines of the Eastern Bantu who had been incorporated into the Yeke Kingdom.
It can be seen from their weapons, all spears and bows and arrows, it is obvious that they are the peripheral troops of Yeke Kingdom.
"Are you the people of the devil!" An Eastern Bantu soldier shouted to Becker and others tremblingly, holding the weapon in his hand tightly.
The Eastern Bantu natives were really brave and militant on the East African grasslands, and they were born to fight wild animals, but the East African colonies were too unreasonable, and they directly opened the eyes of these Eastern Bantus with hot weapons.
No matter how skilled you are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives. The aborigines who fled Tanganyika naturally cannot forget these terrifying East Africans.
"Don't worry, we have no malicious intentions. This time we came here mainly to meet our king Msiri." Becker said to the Yeke Kingdom soldiers.
It doesn’t matter if the devil is not a devil, as long as the purpose of this trip is achieved, Becker will make a lot of money, so Becker tried to speak to these natives in a friendly manner.
After a while of negotiation between the two sides, the natives finally knew the purpose of Becker and others, so they said: "Guests from afar, we must first report to His Majesty the Great Musiri, and only after His Majesty the Great Musiri agrees, we can let you go See you at the palace."
