African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 205 Don't Say I Didn't Give You a Chance!

Entering mid-July, the reform of the army and the government has come to an end. Through this reform, East Africa finally has the appearance of a country.

No matter how you look at it, the new government looks like the "Country of Hexingen".

Some of Constantine's old subordinates have also been laid off and re-employed, mainly in some newly established departments that are not critical. After all, others came first!
The Royal Guard of Hexingen was also reorganized on a large scale to be responsible for the garrison of the first town.

This is a new "old country" that combines Hechingen, Prussia, Austria, and colonial styles.

Emphasizing the "Country of Hechingen" instead of "Principal Kingdom of Hechingen" is an important signal that the Principality will always be the Principality of Prussia, and the County of Hechingen was once an independent European country.

Although Heixingen is small, he may not have no destiny, he is all German, so he can fight for the orthodoxy of Shinra. After all, there are many countries that rely on "edge" Rome, so it would be beautiful to "edge" Shinra!

Of course, this is a joke. Constantine and Ernst would not be so stupid. It is the strategy of the Hexingen royal family to hide their strength and bide their time. Moreover, there is no need to touch "Rome" in East Africa, and Germany is enough.

Many new institutions have appeared in the new East African government this time, the most eye-catching of which has to be the navy.

Unsurprisingly, the commander-in-chief of the East African Navy is Maximilian I, who holds the titles of former Mexican emperor and Austrian Grand Duke.

It is not because of his status that he is eye-catching, but because of the entire East African Navy. Excluding the [-] sailors who have just assembled and the two broken Zanzibar ships that are nearly half a century old, he is the only commander.

Regardless of political ability, Maximilian I, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Austrian Navy in 1854, was indeed the only and best choice for the East African Navy. (I will send a free single chapter to introduce it-refer to Encyclopedia)

In the East African army, the army has the ability to coordinate the overall situation, and Prince Constantine is undoubtedly none other than Prince Constantine. After all, Constantine is also the top group of people in the Prussian army.

Now as long as the commander-in-chief of the navy, Maximilian I, copies and pastes his set in the Austrian navy to East Africa, the title of "Father of the East African Navy" will be indispensable in the future.

This is a good thing for East Africa and Maximilian I. If the matter is done, Maximilian I can at least half of it.

The evaluation of people in later generations will also change from "stupid" to "he may not be a good emperor, but he is born to work in the navy."

So Ernst "gives enough" the opportunity to his father-in-law, it depends on whether he can seize it.

……

"Ferdinand, the fate of the East African navy is in your hands. I think he will shine in your hands." Constantine said to Maximilian I with a smile.

But Maximilian I was not happy, he said to Constantine with a sad face: "Your Excellency, thank you very much for your trust, but this matter is too challenging for me, and the foundation in East Africa is too weak Already!"

It's not just a weak foundation, but no foundation at all. The navies of other countries are poor as trousers, and the East African navy doesn't even have a pair of trousers.

The two mottled wooden sailboats were in disrepair for a long time. They were repaired only a month ago, and they could barely be launched. Maximilian I was worried that they would sink to the bottom of the sea at any time, and the East African Navy would "collapse" directly.

"Hehehe, it's hard work for those who are able! Just like the East African colony has grown from scratch to the scale it is today, I believe that the navy can also be developed with your ability.

If you think about the Austrian Navy back then, how could Teghoff (the commander of the Lisa naval battle) have the chance to be famous all over the world without your capable leadership. "Konstantin touted it with all his might.

"Your Excellency, although I also want to show my strength in East Africa and contribute to the East African Navy, I still need to give some support!

Although I have made some achievements in the Austrian Navy, Austria's foundation is there after all. Even the original old fleet before the reform is now a force that cannot be underestimated in Europe.

And at that time, I was begging for help everywhere in Austria, and I could finally get some support from the royal family and the government, so I got the current Austrian Navy.

I can't build the East African navy out of thin air with these two rotten ships and [-] inexperienced sailors!

In my opinion, any merchant ship from the Hexingen Consortium can easily sink the so-called "East African Navy". "

Among the ocean-going ships of the Hexingen Consortium, the most common ones were the warships left by the Sultanate of Zanzibar back then, but those that were able to drive at that time and had no major problems were used as immigration ships, and the rest are the current East African ships. If the two wrecked ships of the navy really fought, the result would be hard to say.

"Of course I know your difficulties, but East Africa is also difficult now! Ernst said that he has too many things to do recently, and he needs money urgently. Even the gunboats will not start until next year.

So don't be impatient, life will get better after all, although the East African Navy is poor and white, but this is more meaningful to you.

You want to!Even if you have made great efforts for the Austrian Navy before, who still remembers you now? If you don’t take the initiative to ask, the Austrians will almost forget that you have been in the navy.

Even if someone remembers, they will remember it first, oh!There is a Maximilian I who went to Mexico to become emperor, and now he doesn't know where to dawdle!Instead, Archduke Ferdinand, Commander-in-Chief of our Austrian Navy.

So to wash away the shame, start from East Africa. Although East Africa is remote, it also has its advantages. No one pays attention here. When you really make achievements, it will definitely make people look up to you, Archduke Friedrich ( The father of the modern Austrian navy, before that the Austrian navy was the Venetian navy) is your example.

How good is the title of the father of a country's navy. If you are more capable and let the East African navy develop to the European level, then you will also have a place in the entire history of the navy. "Constantine said aggressively with despicable means.

"Okay, so much is not without support!"

"Ernst and I support you in spirit, but don't worry, according to the development speed of East Africa, you will definitely be able to help you achieve your goals within 50 years. You are still young, and things will always get better."

"I have a hunch that it might be the second time in my life that I made the wrong decision to be the Commander-in-Chief of the East African Navy, but forget it, I have no other choice now!
But let me tell you first, I don't dare to think about warships, but I have to deal with the management of personnel. The foundation in East Africa is too weak, so I plan to train personnel first.

You asked Ernst to pick a batch of good seedlings, and I arranged to study at the Royal Austrian Naval Academy, and I will be responsible for the selection of gunboats next year. This is not difficult at all! "

"Of course no problem!" Constantine said forcefully.

What is waiting is the words of Maximilian I. What is the most important thing about Maximilian I?Of course his status, but also his energy in Austria.

As long as Maximilian I speaks to Austria, can Franz not support him?This is not a bad thing, it is better than letting his brother risk his life to become the emperor.

Moreover, if there is the first time, there will be the second time. If the East African navy lacks anything in the future, Maximilian I will naturally go to Austria to coordinate.

The army is on par with Prussia, and the navy naturally has to be "thick-skinned" and use more resources for free. This is the most suitable thing for Maximilian I to do, such as the Austrian Royal Naval Academy, where Ernst or Constantine The prince came forward to contact, even if he agreed, he might not try his best.

But Maximilian I was different. Most of the bosses in the Austrian Navy were his former subordinates. These people are now the pillars of the Austrian Navy. It is not easy for Maximilian I to let them do something. loose.

As long as they put a little pressure on the Austrian Royal Naval Academy, no one would dare to take it seriously. After all, the students are not employed in the navy after graduation.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration. In fact, many teachers in the Austrian Royal Navy also came from the Austrian Navy and had a close relationship with Maximilian I. No one would be so blind.
