African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 297
Wars are raging in Italy, but Trieste next door to Venice is a different scene. After the outbreak of the war, the transfer of military supplies and the huge demand triggered by the war have caused Trieste to eat a wave of war dividends.

A group of factories, including the Hechingen food processing company, stepped up their efforts to produce military supplies, and then shipped them to Venice and the Papal State by sea.

There were boats coming and going in the port of Trieste, and the pier was very lively, but a large area was isolated from the crowd.

The graduates of the Hexingen Military Academy who arrived here from the Hexingen area are about to go to East Africa here.

Except for thirty members who went to the Theresia Military Command Academy in Austria for further studies, the rest of the graduates are here.

Ernst personally saw off the Hechingen students who were about to go to East Africa. There was no complicated ceremony, but before boarding the ship, Ernst said a few more words on the pier.

Ernst: "After your visit to East Africa this time, your goal is to improve the theoretical study of the East African army to a higher level and speed up the modernization of the army. Of course, you should not look down on the level of the East African army. Many of them have also fought a lot of battles. Yes, although it is not a military power like France, it may not be less difficult than the Franco-Prussian War. The East African army not only faces the hostile indigenous forces, but also has to deal with the harsh environment. This is not felt in Europe. Sometimes marching The roads may have been opened temporarily, and the indigenous forces are very flexible. They may disappear from the East African soldiers in front of the mountains and forests in a blink of an eye. The enemy suddenly disappears, and they will be broken into pieces. You say Whether the East African army pursues or not, so the East African army has a lot of experience in dealing with guerrilla tactics. This is very different from the large corps operations in Europe. When you go there, you must learn to adapt to local conditions. Don’t be superstitious about the knowledge in books. Analyze the various enemies that East Africa may face, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, know your enemy and yourself, and win a hundred battles.”

Students: "It's the principal!"

Ernst waved his hand and said, "Go! Start a new journey."

Amidst the roar of the steamship, the 70th graduates of the Hechingen Military Academy boarded the ship one after another, and they were about to carry out a revolution in the army of the Kingdom of East Africa.

Dealing with natives all day long, the combat effectiveness of the East African army will inevitably be affected by the natives. If they suddenly go to war with a country with a little modern experience, the East African army may suddenly fall into a brain freeze.

Therefore, the Hexingen graduates who participated in the Battle of Francophone this time will carry out a major reform of the main force of the East African Kingdom Army to accelerate the East African army's understanding of modern warfare.

As for the non-main force, there is no need for it. If it weren’t for the fact that East Africa is too large, the traffic is poor, there are many indigenous forces inside, there are also many surrounding forces, and the national defense is under great pressure. Ernst would like to abolish them now.

Compared with the population, East Africa's current military strength is surplus, and it has reached the strength of Europe. In fact, 10,000+ troops in Africa are quite explosive, and Egypt has this level.

It was the second time for some students from Hechingen to cross the sea on a ship flying the Austrian flag, and some students from Germany.

……

East Africa, the first town.

The Minister of Defense of East Africa, Yarman, reported to Constantine the work content of the retired personnel in East Africa.

Yarman: "Your Majesty, this is the list of voluntary retired officers. There are a total of 23 people. The lowest rank is the platoon leader, and the highest rank is the commander of the [-]rd Division. Most of them are old people from the colonial era."

The old man in the colonial era was the mercenary group hired by the Hexingen Consortium, and Arman was the leader of the mercenary group at that time.

Constantine took over the list and looked at it. In addition to being old, some of them were injured, and the remaining part was due to other reasons.

Constantine: "Those original mercenary teams who want to return to Germany for retirement, carefully calculate their salaries and bonuses over the years, so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives when they return to Europe, and I will personally provide them with some Bonuses, if they want to stay in East Africa, we also welcome their families to come and settle down, as for the disabled veterans, arrange local jobs for them.”

The mercenary group itself came to East Africa for money. Most of them are retired soldiers from various German countries, so they are generally older, and the representative one is Arman himself.

Most of their families are in Europe and their roots are in Germany, so many of them plan to leave East Africa and return to Germany after earning enough money. After all, they have struggled all their lives, and they should enjoy it.

Arman also had this idea, but Constantine and Ernst did not intend to let him retire. In order to stabilize Arman, they arranged for Arman's family to live in the first town alone.

After hearing Constantine's decision, Alman replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, we will verify it carefully based on the files."

Arranging for officers to retire is to make room for the upcoming graduates of the Hechingen Military Academy. In the past two years, because the crash course was suspended, the students of the Hechingen Military Academy have not provided military personnel to East Africa.

After all, the normal school system is three years, and the time for this Hechingen Military Academy to return to the normal school system was three years ago.

It is definitely not enough to rely solely on the voluntary retirement of officers. Therefore, before East Africa, a group of incompetent people with negative records were invited out of the army and asked to change jobs. Through these two actions, a large number of officers were dismissed.

So at present, East Africa still lacks military talents in general, not only high-end military talents, but also low-end military talents. This year's graduates of Hechingen Military Academy will make up for these gaps.

Yarman: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Our diplomats were driven back by Mozambique. I heard that they didn't even meet the new governor of Mozambique."

Constantine: "Oh! Is there any specific situation about this person?"

Yalman: "We learned from the Maputo merchants that this man was born in the army and was a general of the Portuguese Continental Army. Those from Mozambique, I heard that their military capabilities are not bad, and just after arriving in Mozambique, they led the army to defeat the remnants of the Kingdom of Malawi."

Constantine: "If this is the case, we should also be careful about this person, and let the troops stationed on the border of Mozambique be more vigilant, and report any changes in Mozambique in time."

The new governor of Mozambique does not seem to be easy to deal with, and East Africa also has to consider that Caboril will convulse to challenge East Africa.Because Mozambique is already surrounded by East African territory, from the perspective of security, Mozambique must be full of worries.The expansion speed of East Africa is too terrifying, it is simply a copy of Tsarist Russia, West Africa and North Africa are okay, and East Africa is completely under the pressure of East Africa's expansion.
