African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 553
If a port city wants to develop, it cannot do without the strong support of the economic hinterland. Otherwise, even if the port conditions are superior, it will be difficult to have a better development ceiling.

For example, the port of Maputo in Mozambique has very good natural conditions. Maputo is located at the southern entrance of the Mozambique Strait and has a strategic location.So the Portuguese established a colonial stronghold in Maputo. Since then, with the development of history, Maputo gradually became the capital of Portuguese Mozambique.

However, this port city in Portugal that has been developed for a century has been overtaken by the New Hamburg Port City in a very short period of time, and the gap has quickly widened. Although Maputo and Natal have also invested heavily now, it is really difficult to overtake them. More difficult than ever.

Because East Africa’s heavy investment in the New Hamburg Port is definitely the key, but relying on the southern section of the Central Railway, the economic hinterland of the New Hamburg Port City includes the Southern Frontier Province, Lorraine Province, southern Matabele Province, New Württemberg Province (formerly Kingdom of Zulu, Transvaal Republic, Southern Zimbabwe, Botswana and British Bechuanaland).

In this way, the direct gap between the three ports is reflected. If Maputo is not integrated into East Africa in the future, it will have no choice but to lag behind the new Hamburg port market.

Therefore, the development of East African port cities cannot be separated from the support of inland cities. In turn, port cities also provide capital, technology, manpower and other necessary conditions for development to the inland.

Ernst likes the overall social atmosphere of mutual support anyway. As for interest disputes, there are not so many troubles in East Africa at present. After all, East Africa does provide a way out for immigrants arriving from Eurasia. This is basically in line with psychological expectations. As a As a big government country, the development of East African countries is inseparable from the guidance of the autocratic and authoritarian government led by Ernst.

This is in line with the requirements of the East African people. They hope that the government will take care of this and that, because before arriving in East Africa, more than [-]% of them were feudal farmers who plundered the land and had no opinions of their own. They were allowed to manage the country by themselves. , then it will take hundreds of years of chaos and grinding before we can cultivate qualified talents to manage the country.

When Claire and others were in self-isolation, the East African government was not really letting things go. The city of Grusegen was also discussing the epidemic in Rowenad village.

The total urban population of Grusegen City is more than 300 people, and there are seven villages below. In fact, Grusegen City may be a slightly larger village in this era, but other towns should Yes, the city of Grusegen is similar.

Therefore, Claire, the director of the city's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, is considered to have a high position of authority. Otherwise, he would not have to endure the hardships of traveling from the east to the west. He has seen the development of East Africa, so he is also very optimistic about the development potential of the west. .

"Mayor, this is a letter sent back by Director Claire. We have disinfected the letter. You should take a look at the specific content in person."

Mayor Morgeville of Grusegen took the letter Claire sent back and read it carefully.

After waiting for a moment, he said: "Director Claire has already said that Rowenad Village is currently in good condition and there are no signs of the epidemic spreading, but to be on the safe side, he will stay there for a while to let us prepare. "

"Mayor, are we going to block Rowenad Village?"

"There is no need for a blockade. If Rowenad Village is really not under control, then it is better to say, isn't there Director Claire's guarantee now? He has rich experience in the east before, so just trust his advice."

However, Mogweil changed the subject and said: "Of course, we can't do nothing. In this way, we can send two policemen to guard the road from Rowenald Village to the city. If someone does come over privately, they can be dispatched in time." Notify the city.”

"Mayor, are two people a little too few?"

"I have naturally considered this. Our city has a small population and insufficient police force. Moreover, we have previously sent two police officers to Rowenad Village to take command. If there were sufficient personnel, I would definitely want to control Rowenad Village first. It’s sealed, so we can send two people to monitor it as much as it can and can do a lot of things.”

"Oh, that's true. Our city of Grusegen has only been established for a short period of time. We are lacking everything, especially the population. It would be great if there were more people. So, the mayor, you are the best, and you can lead us in this situation. The city of Grusegen is booming." "Don't be afraid of flattery. I know how much I weigh. My task is to follow the example of the gourd and discover the city of Grusegen based on the examples of other regions. As for you, I owe you a lot. Remember, I will punish you if you make mistakes. If you really want to develop well in the future, just put away your petty thoughts and honestly solve the problems in Grusegen City."

"Mayor, you taught me a lesson."

"By the way, the problem of food rations and materials in Rowenad Village cannot be ignored. The first phase of grain has not been harvested yet. We still have to rely on the provincial dispatch to prepare that part of Rowenad Village. As the saying goes There is food in the house and I am not panicking. Now the people of Rowenad village have made up their minds and continue to let them stay in the village."

"Send directly to Rowenad Village?"

"Didn't we design the material receiving station at the beginning? Let's pack the things well and don't let wild beasts get away."

East Africa can be regarded as a long-term disease, and it is quite experienced in dealing with epidemics. The material receiving station has been designed in advance. It is actually a small house between Rowenad Village and Grusegen City. It is not used normally. As soon as there is an epidemic, it will be used.

"By the way, every time you go, remember to do a good job of disinfection, especially at the material receiving station. Don't be careless."

"I understand, Mayor, do you have any other instructions?"

Mogwell thought about it carefully, and something really reminded him of something. He said, "I almost forgot. Director Claire mentioned in the letter that the cause of this epidemic is most likely due to the killing and eating of wild animals." Caused by this, these people are really disobedient. We had preached to them at the beginning that animals in East Africa should not be disposed of casually, but now they are fine. Not only did they lose their lives, but they also left us with a mess."

"It's just that you really don't take the government's words seriously. When you encounter a problem, we have to deal with it in the end." The subordinate hurriedly followed Mogwell's words.

"Well, this shows that our publicity work is not in place. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that this incident can be avoided. That's good. It just happened that this kind of thing happened in Rowenad Village this time. We will use Rowena Nader Village is a typical example, and we need to carry out a publicity and education campaign throughout the city to let them know that no regulations are set casually without reason, and there is no rule."

"Yes, mayor, but do the villages below also have the same arrangement?"

"Well, except for Rowenad Village now, other villages in our city must carry out this education. As for Rowenad Village, I believe that after this lesson, they will also feel it the most profoundly. Gaining wisdom is more useful than any other education."

Mogweil thought for a while and then said: "And in the province, after this epidemic is over, there is no need to worry about reporting work and writing about it. We can just do our job well."

"This……"

"I'm not worried. What are you afraid of? Even if something goes wrong, I will be the first person in charge. Furthermore, the cause of this epidemic is not necessarily due to mistakes in our work. Our follow-up work is also in place."

"Mayor, you are still selfless..."
