Chapter 349 Militarism
Ander: "Before I came to East Africa, I asked someone to ask foreign businessmen for advice. They said that European countries conquered each other and fought endlessly. Especially in Germany, there are many countries that are extremely warlike, and Prussia is the most aggressive among them. One, I heard that there was a "soldier king" in its history, and many other monarchs are like this, such as the current William I, during his reign, he first launched a war against his northern neighbor Denmark, and now he is fighting for hegemony with France. Who will win the deer."
Li Ge: "This Prussia sounds a bit similar to Tyranny! If you don't have a benevolent government, you may die!"
Ander: "Brother Shiyan! Be careful, the Kingdom of East Africa where we are now has a relationship with this Prussia. If anyone listens to it, we will be in trouble!"
Li Ge: "Why is this?"
"You may think that the so-called East African Kingdom has nothing to do with Prussia, but they are actually a family. King Constantine of the East African Kingdom turned out to be the prince of the Prussian royal family, and they are all Prussian royal families."
Li Ge: "So that's the case, but one is in Europe and the other is in Africa. I'm afraid the relationship between the two countries is not very close. It's okay for a generation or two, but it's hard to say in the future."
What Li Ge meant was that the relationship between the Kingdom of East Africa and Prussia is like that of brothers separating families. Regardless of what is going on now, each will live his own life in the future.
Ander: "Having said that, the systems and humanities of the two countries may be the most similar. Prussia is militaristic, and the Kingdom of East Africa is probably not too far behind."
Li Ge: "Only when I have been to East Africa in person can I know that the rumors are not false, but an objective description. It is said that although a country is large, it will die if it is warlike. In a small country in East Africa, you can see soldiers everywhere. In such a country, people's lives Must be unfortunate."
Ander shook his head and said: "Brother Shiyan, I'm afraid what you said is a bit absolute. Although a country is big, it will die if it is warlike, but there is another sentence in the back that although the world is safe, if you forget the war, you will be in danger. Isn't what we are facing in the Far East now? Is it a predicament? Besides, there are no absolutes, and we cannot say that a country is wrong just because it has many soldiers.”
Li Ge: "This is the experience passed down from our ancestors!"
Ander: "The geographical location of Prussia is too dangerous. If all the people are not soldiers, there will be a risk of destroying the country at any time. The barbarians in the west do not practice virtue. The so-called Spring and Autumn War without justice, the European countries are currently staying in the same area as ours. The way it was a thousand years ago, so the way Prussia is doing is probably best for him."
Li Ge: "Is East Africa the same as Prussia? Prussia is in the land of the Fourth World War, so the Kingdom of East Africa should not be possible! The so-called competition for the Central Plains means that the four parties must acquire the Central Plains if they want to expand. After all, no one can avoid the middle. The East African Kingdom is located in the east of Africa by its name, and it is obviously not the place where the Fourth World War was fought, so it is necessary to maintain so many troops!"
Ander: "Tell me, is there a possibility that this East African kingdom is the invading party, so it has a large number of troops. You see, King Constantine is from Prussia, and our ancient books record that this is the territory of the ancient Kunlun slaves. Zheng He visited this place before, but how many Kunlun slaves did you and I see in Dashi yesterday?"
Ander: "That's right, and the East African Kingdom is still recruiting immigrants from our east, so how do you say the East African Kingdom supports so many immigrants?"
Li Ge: "There must be enough food."
Ander: "That's right, food cannot be created out of thin air, but grows from the soil, and this soil is on the soil. Then Constantine, a European, where did he get the land?"
Li Ge: "You mean, you snatched it!"
Ander: "Isn't it! It's impossible for the natives to invite him here, so it goes without saying what the army of the East African kingdom is used for."
Li Ge: "What a barbarian!"
At this time, Ernst in Vienna sneezed: "Who is speaking ill of me!"
Andrew: "Prussia is surrounded by powerful countries, but there are no powerful countries around the Kingdom of East Africa. Therefore, when the Germans arrived in East Africa, their troops were not used to protect themselves, but to grab land. According to Westerners, the world Divided into five continents, the land of our Celestial Dynasty is so huge, but it is only a country in Asia, and Africa is not small, so the wolf ambition of the East African Kingdom is fully exposed, or it is not concealed."
Li Ge: "Well, it makes sense, but how many troops, populations, and areas does East Africa have, and whether there are similar regimes around it? After all, it is impossible for Constantine to be the only smart person. Other Western countries should also treat Africa. Please be interested!"
Ender: "It's hard to say, how can we come into contact with these things, we just use Dashi to get a glimpse of them, these data, unless the East African Kingdom is willing to tell others, I don't think any government would be so stupid. If I were The government of the Kingdom of East Africa will certainly not confess these data to make a fortune. As for whether there are similar regimes around East Africa, there must be. There is the Sultanate of Zanzibar on the other side of the sea. When I was on the ship, I heard the sailors say, This East African kingdom has snatched part of its mainland from it."
Lige guessed: "There is also Great Britain. I think there should be people in Great Britain who have territories in Africa. They claim that the sun never sets, so they should have many colonies in Africa, and France probably does the same."
Through the prosperity of Dar es Salaam, Li Ge and his wife did not believe that other colonists would turn a blind eye to such a good place.
Ander: "Perhaps this is also the reason why the Kingdom of East Africa is desperately expanding its military. Britain and France are world powers. If they really come to Africa to compete, what resistance will East Africa have? The only way to gain a firm foothold is to rely on all the people as soldiers."
Obviously, the two misunderstood East Africa and regarded the immigrants as the East African army. Although there are many East African troops, they are not that exaggerated. After all, there is a need for this in a country of more than 7 million square kilometers.
