African Entrepreneurship Record

"There are many places to employ people now, especially during wars. Our labor shortage problem has become more serious. However, there is no way. We can start with staff who have graduated from schools in recent years and encourage them to take the initiative to create jobs in the west. Of course, , for safety reasons, we still need the assistance of the military, and we must not cause serious casualties." After thinking about it carefully, Ernst said.

In fact, the current population of East Africa is certainly not small, but what is lacking is the prime-age labor force, especially the trustworthy prime-age labor force. Otherwise, the black people in East Africa may be able to play a role, and it is obvious that East Africa will not trust black people.

If it were a few years later, East Africa would never have this problem, so some things still need time to accumulate.

"How is the military preparing for the decisive battle in Mozambique now?" Ernst asked Felix and Sweet thinking outside the box.

Angola needs to deal with the aftermath, but the biggest problem now is the war in Mozambique. The war is far from over, and the main force of the coalition is still resisting in Mozambique.

"Major progress has been made on all fronts. Some Angolan troops have also finished resting and are marching to the east. If nothing happens, we will be able to launch a full-scale counterattack against Mozambique's coalition forces by the end of November." Felix said with a smile. Said easily.

The war has lasted for more than half a year, and now the whole thing has finally fallen into the rhythm of East Africa. As long as the main force of the coalition forces in Mozambique is eliminated, the South African war can basically be declared over. That's why Felix, as the Minister of Defense, feels relieved. Take a breath.

Since the war began, East African officials and military officers have been under considerable pressure. After all, the opponent is the world's hegemon. However, as the war progresses, the mentality of all East African citizens has been reshaped.

At this time, even some people have developed arrogance - the world's most powerful country is just like this. Of course Ernst is very clear. The British did not use all their strength in this South African War. After all, compared with the previous Boer War , the intensity shown by the British army in the South African War was far less than that of the Boer War.

Even after the victory of this war, the British cannot be underestimated. There must be stable enough leaders to suppress the "anxiety" that is now beginning to spread in East Africa.

As the world's most powerful country, we cannot just look at the military data on the surface, but at the war potential. Now the UK's industrial strength and various data are far ahead, although there are late-developing countries like the United States and Germany behind it. Hot pursuit, but only these two countries are the most special. The UK can still do it if it attacks a country with all its strength, but this will only allow the third party to take advantage.

After the South African War ended, East Africa had become nothing more than the United States. Germany, an existence that Britain could not suppress at will, had only become an internationally recognized chess player, rather than truly possessing the strength to challenge Britain's bottom line.

After all, East Africa still needs to develop after the war, and in the era of sea power, East Africa certainly cannot act behind closed doors, so it must integrate into the international order.

After all, the United States only took over the hegemony of the United Kingdom during the two world wars in the previous life, and Germany, which chose to fight with the United Kingdom, ended up in a very miserable situation. This also shows that if the United Kingdom really wants to suppress each opponent with all its strength, this situation is not impossible. , not to mention that East Africa is obviously far less powerful than Germany.

So Ernst said: "We must go all out in the war in Mozambique. We must not underestimate the power and strength of the world hegemon. At this time, the United Kingdom has not exerted its full strength at all. For example, the Royal Navy just made a casual move and let the world over." We suffered serious losses. As for the army, Britain is fully capable of dispatching more troops, but they did not do so. That is because Britain, as a global strategic empire, does not only have to focus on Africa, so you must not We are complacent and the gap between us and the UK is still very wide.”

Of course, this means that after East Africa won the war, it also entered the ranks of regional powers.

For example, the Ottoman Empire, although declining, is an important hegemon. The Far Eastern Empire is the hegemon of East Asia, the United States is the hegemon of North America, Germany is the temporary land hegemon of Western Europe, and Tsarist Russia is the hegemon of Eastern Europe.

It's just that Europe is special. Europe is currently the most powerful existence on all continents, so France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot be ignored, as well as the existence of the world hegemon, Britain.

This situation does not exist in South American countries. To put it bluntly, they are all useless. Before the rise of East Africa, the entire African continent was also in this situation. The strongest country was Egypt, but Egypt, the former most powerful country in Africa, was nothing more than A semi-colony of world powers, so there was no regional hegemon in Africa before.

After the South African War ends, East Africa can represent the strongest force on the African continent and participate in international affairs.

After Ernst mentioned the Royal Navy, the East African senior leaders present here couldn't help but feel nervous. East Africa may be able to provoke the British army's strength, but the strength of the Royal Navy is no exaggeration. Now that the navies of other countries around the world have united, The British Royal Navy may have the power to fight.

From this point of view, even if East Africa wins the war on the African continent, there is nothing to be proud of. After all, this is not the ancient times. Transportation mainly passes through land. You can also choose to play stand-alone games, but you must embrace the ocean.

Ernst continued: "Of course, there is no need to belittle oneself. The food must be eaten one bite at a time and the road must be walked step by step. Our current national strength does not have the ability to vigorously develop the navy, but the results achieved by the army are enough to be recorded in the annals of history. The East African Fortress There is still a long way to go, and it cannot be changed by one or several wars."

The navy is the service that most tests industrial capabilities in the current era. After all, the conditions at sea are much worse than on land. Moreover, the emergence of ironclads and battleships, as well as the development of various ships, and the prosperity of maritime trade have also established the navy's status.

Britain's world hegemony was not achieved through the army. Before Britain, Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands achieved world hegemony through their navy.

Although the East African navy seems to be powerful, it is definitely not at the same level as other major powers, and the most important factor is the limitation of ship manufacturing capabilities.

In the last naval battle, East Africa and Britain were tied, but Britain's shipbuilding capabilities can make up for these losses at any time, while East Africa will need more time and energy to make up for this loss.

It can be said that the current apparent strength of the Royal Navy is far from the British limit, but the British have not yet reached that point. Just like the outbreak of the German Navy in the previous life, the potential of the British Navy was fully stimulated.

The East African Navy has spent a lot of money and time to accumulate its wealth. If it is done improperly, it may even lose all its underpants.

The navy's military expenditure is much higher than that of the army, so excessive development of the navy may have an impact on the domestic economy. Only a wealthy country like the United Kingdom can build the most powerful navy in the world.

At present, the only country in the world that has this ability is probably the United States. However, the United States is a relatively insidious country. It knows the price of confronting the United Kingdom, so it has chosen to hide its capabilities and bide its time until the United Kingdom declines. This is also true. It should be the merits of post-war learning in East Africa.
