Chapter 203 Reincarnation of Dirty Earth
"Zizzizi..."

There was a lot of noise on the phone, but even so, it was the black technology of the Berlin electricity company.

For such a long-distance call, 67 sound amplifiers alone are equipped. Ernst spent a lot of money to recruit relevant talents from the German region and invite technology leaders. Finally, with the help of Siemens bosses, he gathered the power of all Germany. It took only a few months to overcome the relevant problems.

Compared with Siemens, Ernst's Berlin Power Company is not even as good as a primary school student, and several important inventions are also made by chance.

At the same time, Berlin Power Company also assumes the role of half of Siemens' processing plant, and processes some parts after its technically authorized descendants.

Although the Berlin Power Company is so unbearable, it has also grown into the second largest power company in Germany, and the first is Siemens.

As Ernst said before, the only great inventors in the field of electricity who can be compared with Siemens are Tesla and Edison in the United States (excluding the theoretical masters).

Until the laying of the telephone line is completed, all the expenses are almost enough to buy Alaska again, but such a transoceanic line has basically no commercial value for the Hechingen consortium.

The entire telephone line can only be used to maintain the conversation between Ernst and Constantine. The only function is to increase the technical reserves of the Berlin Electric Power Company.

Different from the telephone line, part of the remodeled telegraph line can be separated and no longer used as a special line for the East African government, but can also be used for some civilian communications, but according to the current situation of East African immigrants, it is not necessary.

After chatting for a long time, Ernst and Constantine finally returned to the topic of the army.

Now there is a problem in East Africa, whether to disarm or expand. An army close to 10 people seems to be quite a lot.

But it seems very small on a land of more than 200 million square kilometers, but the national defense pressure in East Africa is not too great.

The militia alone can form a crushing advantage over the surrounding aborigines, and it is estimated that it will be [-]-[-] against other colonists. Of course, this is based on the advantage of numbers.

But if the enemy comes from the sea, the militia cannot deal with it. Those who can fight from the sea must have strong military capabilities. Even the so-called "regular army" in East Africa may find it difficult to deal with it.

A large part of the standing army in the East African colonies actually acted as the police. Almost every city has a little bit, and so do some villages and towns.

It is also difficult to guarantee the quality of officers in East Africa. Even the students who graduated from the Hechingen Military Academy are, to put it bluntly, soldiers with a slightly higher military quality.

Moreover, it was done in a short period of time, and its ability may not be comparable to that of mercenaries who have been in the Prussian army for many years.

That is, there is a lack of professional officers, which is why some people at the military council proposed to learn from Prussia.

There are only three current graduates of the Hechingen Military Academy who have received officer-level education in Prussia, and these three are one-in-a-million talents.

Prince Constantine, who was still in Europe at the time, used his relationship to get into the Berlin Military Academy. It’s hard to say whether he can learn something, the number is too small and he can’t use it, and Hexingen was the first to enter the Berlin Military Academy for further studies. Students are still two years away from graduation.

"Father, I think some of the soldiers should be separated from the army. It would be better to set up a police agency in East Africa. As for the army, it is better not to expand it. The follow-up should focus on improving the professionalism and combat capabilities of the troops. East Africa does not need so much now." Lots of troops."

"Naturally, the more troops, the better. No matter how powerful Napoleon was, he couldn't stop the siege of the whole of Europe. However, the militias in East Africa should be enough, and the standing army really doesn't need to expand." Constantine said.

"Then it's settled. Through this military reform, the military power in East Africa will be completely in the hands of our royal family of Hechingen, and then we will start to reform the government in East Africa." Ernst set the tone.

In fact, the military power in East Africa has always been in the hands of Ernst, but it was done through checks and balances. Now that Prince Constantine has arrived in East Africa, it is equivalent to the transfer of the royal family of Hechingen to East Africa.

In the past, he was afraid that the central government and the military would have too much power, and Ernst himself would play it off. Now Prince Constantine can reshape the centralization of power in East Africa.

This is also a good thing for the East African government, which can better take over many functions originally performed by the Hexingen Consortium.

The previous East African government was really a puppet government, and even the power of statistics had to go through the employees of the Hexingen consortium.

The former executive director of the East African government, von der Leyen, is an employee of the Hexingen Consortium, and the East African government is more like a subsidiary of the Hexingen Consortium.

"About government reform, do you want the government to completely take over all government affairs in East Africa?" Constantine asked.

"Almost, but it is still necessary to connect with the Hexingen Consortium. After all, the trade in East Africa is still completed by the Hexingen Consortium."

"Then what matters should be paid attention to in government reform! What do you think?"

"Father, the existing departments are very important. Although we have to learn from the Prussian government agencies to a certain extent, the situation in East Africa is different from that in Prussia. For example, the disease control management department, its weight cannot be underestimated in East Africa. After becoming the Ministry of Health in the future, we still need to pay attention to it. As a tropical region, East Africa must not ignore diseases and medical treatment.

The most important thing is the army. The Ministry of National Defense must be built. Let Yarman be the Minister of Defense. He is not in good health, but he can use it with peace of mind. His qualifications and prestige in the army are also sufficient.

The police agency mentioned earlier can also be established in the new government. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also a new department in East Africa. You can decide for yourself.

However, I do have one candidate to recommend, and that is Becker, an official from Mbeya City, you can give it a try.

With just one mouth, he allowed East Africa to take the Yeke Kingdom with only [-] guns, so his ability should be pretty good. "

Wei Te and Ernst reported Becker, and Ernst remembered it, so he talked to his father.

However, the specific situation is still up to Constantine himself, because Hexingen, as a country that existed before, was merged into Prussia only two or thirty years ago, and the team of the royal family of Hexingen still exists.

I just don’t know if Constantine brought it with him when he came to East Africa this time. After all, many people disbanded back then, or passed away, or didn’t choose to come to East Africa.

"I have almost remembered the above, but I think the Ministry of Culture can also be established. It just so happens that some of my old friends can arrange to enter." Constantine said.

There is basically no cultural cause in East Africa, if the popularization of German is not counted, so Constantine wants to strengthen the cultural construction of East Africa, which is also good for Ernst. The royal family of Hechingen has always attached importance to cultural development. Grandpa started it, and so far the literati in the Hechingen area have a good reputation for Frederick.

But Ernst still reminded: "Father, it's okay to promote the development of East African culture, but don't get involved in the ideological level, just organize more entertainment activities for East African immigrants.

They don't need any profound thoughts, it is enough to honestly support the rule of the royal family of Hexingen, and we cannot put shackles on ourselves. "

"Don't worry about this. I know what to do. I just want to implement and expand German traditional culture in East Africa. Do you think I won't be wary of liberalism?" Constantine said murderously.

The reason why Hexingen was merged into Prussia back then was the result of Napoleon's implementation of the French in Germany. At least Constantine thought so. In order to prevent the impact of the "mob", Hexingen and Sigmaringen As a last resort, Prussia was invited to send troops.

That is, since then, the country of Hexingen has existed in name only, but now the development of the East African colony is tantamount to the revival of Hexingen.

Heixingen's small imperial court suddenly found a way out again, and re-employment in East Africa is a kind of reincarnation from the dirt.

Moreover, in terms of orthodoxy, East Africa seems to be stronger than Hexingen. The Count of Hexingen in the German region has now even moved the royal family to East Africa, and the East African colony has become the main body of the Count of Hexingen.

As for the Heixing root land, it has instead become the tentacles of East Africa in Germany and Prussia, and the Hei Xing root land was originally the tentacles of Prussia in South Germany, so things have become more interesting.
