Chapter 349 Militancy

Ender: "Before coming to East Africa, I asked someone to ask foreign businessmen for advice. They said that the European countries were fighting against each other and there were endless wars. Especially in the German region, there were many countries that were extremely warlike, and Prussia was the most militaristic among them. One, I heard that there was a "soldier king" in his history, and many other monarchs were like this. For example, the current William I first launched a war against his northern neighbor, the Kingdom of Denmark, during his reign, and now he is competing with France for supremacy. I don't know what the end result will be. Whoever wins will win."

Li Ge: "This Prussia sounds a bit similar to the violent Qin Dynasty! If we don't practice benevolent government, we may perish for the next generation!"

Ander: "Brother Shiyan! Be careful, the East African kingdom we are in now has a connection with Prussia. If someone with intentions hears about it, it 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. In fact, they are one family. King Constantine of the East African Kingdom turned out to be the prince of the Prussian royal family. They are all from the Prussian royal family."

Li Ge: "I see, but one is in Europe and the other is in Africa. I'm afraid the connection between the two countries is not very close. It will be fine for one or two generations, but it will be difficult to say in the future."

What Li Ge means is that the relationship between the East African Kingdom and Prussia is like brothers separated. No matter what happens now, each will live his or her own life in the future.

Ender: "Having said that, the institutions and humanities of the two countries are probably the most similar. Prussia is extremely militaristic, and the East African Kingdom is probably no less generous."

Li Ge: "Only when I personally went to East Africa did I know that the rumors were not false, but objective descriptions. It is said that although a country is big, war will lead to destruction. East Africa is a small country, but soldiers can be seen everywhere. In such a country, people's lives are very different. It must be unfortunate.”

Ander shook his head and said: "Brother Shiyan, I'm afraid what you said is a bit absolute. Although the country is big, if it is warlike, it will perish. However, there is also a saying behind it that although the world is safe, forgetting to fight will be in danger. Isn't what we in the Far East are facing now is the aftermath of war? Is it a dilemma? Besides, nothing is absolute. 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!"

Ender: "Prussia is a country whose geographical location is too dangerous. If all the people are not in arms, there is a risk of annihilation at any time. The barbarians in the West do not practice morality. The so-called unjust wars in the Spring and Autumn Period. Currently, the European countries are just a few countries away from us." The way it was thousands of years ago, so the way Prussia is now is probably best for him.”

Li Ge: "Is East Africa the same as Prussia? Prussia is in a land of four wars, so the Kingdom of East Africa should be unlikely! The so-called competition for the Central Plains means that all four parties must acquire the Central Plains if they want to expand. After all, no one can get around the middle. As you can tell from the name, this East African Kingdom is located in the east of Africa. It is obviously not a place of the Fourth War, so it is necessary to maintain so many troops!"

Ender: "Do you think there is a possibility that this East African kingdom is the invading party, so it has a large number of troops? Look, 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?"

Li Ge: "This... doesn't seem to be much."

Ender: "That's it, and this East African Kingdom is still recruiting immigrants from our east. So how do you think the East African Kingdom can support so many immigrants?"

Li Ge: "There must be enough food."

Ender: "That's right. Food cannot be created out of thin air, but grows from the soil, and this soil is on the ground. So Constantine is a European, where did he get the land?"

Li Ge: "You mean, snatched it away!"

Ender: "Isn't it? It's impossible for the natives to invite him here, so it's self-evident what the army of this East African kingdom is used for."

Li Ge: "What a barbarian!"

At this time Ernst from Vienna sneezed: "Who is talking bad about me!"

Ender: "Prussia is surrounded by powerful countries, but there are no powerful countries around the East African Kingdom. Therefore, when the Germans arrived in East Africa, their army was not used to protect themselves, but to seize land. According to Westerners, the world Divided into five continents, our Celestial Kingdom is so huge, but it is only a country in Asia, and Africa is also quite big, so the ambition of the East African Kingdom is exposed, or in other words, it is not concealed."

Li Ge: "Well, that makes sense, but how many troops are there in East Africa, how big is the population, how big is the area, and whether there are similar regimes around it. After all, Constantine cannot be the only smart man. Other Western countries should also be interested in Africa." Please be interested!"

Ender: "It's hard to say, how can we come into contact with these things? We are only trying to get a glimpse of them through the city. Unless the East African Kingdom is willing to tell others about these data, I don't think any government would be so stupid. If I were The government of the Kingdom of East Africa will definitely not report these data and 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. I heard the sailors say when I was on the ship, This East African kingdom snatched part of its continental land from it.”

Li Ge guessed: "There is also Great Britain. I think there should be people in Great Britain who have territory in Africa. They are known as the sun never sets, so they should have many colonies in Africa. The same is probably true for France."

Through the prosperity of Dar es Salaam, the two Li Ge did not believe that other colonists would turn a blind eye to such a good place.

Ender: "Perhaps this is also the reason why the East African Kingdom is desperately trying to expand its military. Britain and France are world powers. If they really come to Africa to compete, East Africa will have no resistance. They can only rely on the method of all-people troops to gain a foothold."

Apparently the two misunderstood East Africa and regarded the immigrants as the East African army. Although the East African army was large, it was not that exaggerated. After all, the land of more than 7 million square kilometers did have such needs.
