Chapter 188 West Palace

"Since you have made up your mind, I will naturally not persuade you. However, if you have anything to do over there, please send us a message as soon as possible. I will take care of it for you in Germany." Prince Karl Anton said.

"Thank you, Karl." Constantine thanked him.

"Humph, we grew up playing together. It can be said that the two families share the same hardships and hardships. They have always been consistent in strategy. To be honest, now that Carl has made a fortune and has become the king of Romania, Leopold has no chance of the Spanish throne. Xiao, I am afraid that Sigmalingen will really become prosperous here in the future.

Although Ernst is still young, he still has a large career. Young people have gone out. In the future, Hechingen and Sigmaringen will eventually become a place name in Prussia as we grow old. "Prince Carl Anton said with emotion.

"Yes! Hechingen and Sigmaringen are still too young for young people. Europe will be their stage in the future." Constantine said.

The first town, the city center.

The reserved square has become a construction site. Fisher was transferred from Dar es Salaam to work in the First Town by the First Town Government because of his outstanding performance in the Dar es Salaam Port reconstruction project.

At this time, Fisher was directing construction workers in the central square of the first town.

Since the establishment of the Central District, the First Town has clarified its status as the political center of the East African royal domain for the first time in official documents in East Africa.

Therefore, a large number of East African government agencies were established here, and the First Town became the political center and benefited from its reputation as the first colony in East Africa.

However, Ernst also had his own considerations in placing the political center of East Africa here. Relatively speaking, Dar es Salaam has a better transportation location. The former capital of German East Africa was Dar es Salaam, which is convenient for other places. Strengthening connections with the mainland and taking advantage of the convenience of maritime transportation have high development potential.

However, the real Hechingen already belongs to Prussia. The ice and snow in Alaska is still idle. The East African colony built by Ernst is the mainland of Hechingen.

Along the coast of Dar es Salaam, there is no navy in East Africa. Currently there is only an offshore defense system consisting of artillery.

In other words, although the enemy can be prevented from docking, the enemy's naval guns can also hit Dar es Salaam.

Looking at it this way, the location of the first town is better. It is some distance from the sea and is safe. East Africa is weak on the sea. It is the home of East Africa on land. The first town connects Dar es Salaam and Bagamo at the same time. There are about two ports and the transportation is not too bad.

"We have to complete the main body of the building within a month. Your Highness takes this matter very seriously. Please don't be careless and delay." Fisher said to the workers.

"Mr. Fisher, is His Highness coming to East Africa in person?" a worker asked.

Fisher shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It's just that the documents say that important figures from the royal family want to live here, so they have to work overtime to complete the palace construction."

"Mr. Fisher, do all your European kings live in palaces like this? I have never seen such a luxurious building in my life, covering such a large area, and it also has carved flowers and a so-called fountain. And the garden..." asked a Far Eastern immigrant.

"A palace! I have actually seen it. My hometown is Stuttgart, the capital of the Kingdom of Württemberg. The residences of the rich and dignitaries there are very luxurious. Stuttgart is also much larger than the first town. However, the palace is some distance from the city.

I was fortunate to follow an old architect to carry out renovation work at the palace. The so-called palace we built now is completely insignificant compared to the Württemberg Palace, and it is better than those buildings in the urban area. " Fisher recalled.

The temporary palace planned by Ernst in the First Town is naturally not comparable to the Ludwigsburg Palace of the King of Württemberg. The First Town itself is not large in East Africa, small and exquisite, and its administrative role is far greater than the economy.

Moreover, the First Town is now the capital of East Africa, but the future is uncertain, because the current territory of East Africa is still changing, and Ernst does not know where East Africa will develop in the future, so the status of the capital of the First Town is not stable.

It is obviously not cost-effective to spend a lot of money to build a palace here, but for the sake of the appearance of the Hechingen royal family, it certainly cannot be too shabby.

"Ah! Mr. Fisher, according to you, wouldn't the palace where Prince Constantine and His Highness Ernst live be inferior to the palace of the so-called Kingdom of Württemberg?"

Colonial immigrants all knew Hechingen and their hometown, so they had no idea about Württemberg, where Fisher was located.

So much so that some people couldn't believe it when they heard that the palace in Württemberg was larger and more luxurious than the palace they and others were building for the royal family of Hechingen.

In their eyes, East Africa is already a very powerful and wealthy region that they have seen, and the Hechingen royal family must also be synonymous with power and perfection, because the entire East Africa belongs to the Hechingen royal family.

"That's not true. In fact, I heard my colleagues say that the palace in Hechingen is called Hohenzollern Castle. During the overhaul a few years ago, my colleagues were lucky enough to participate. The Hohenzollern Castle is among the best in Europe. It is said to be one of the symbols of the entire Hohenzollern family," Fisher said.

"How does that compare with the palace in Württemberg?" the worker asked simply.

“It is certainly not comparable to the palace in Württemberg, at least in terms of status, because the most powerful family in Germany now is the Hohenzollern family, and the royal family of Hechingen belongs to the Hohenzollern family. "Fischer doesn't want to destroy an immigrant's fantasy.

There may be some differences between Ludwigsburg and Hohenzollern Castle, but they are not big. They can only be said to have their own merits, but many immigrants are deeply grateful to the royal family of Hechingen.

In the eyes of most immigrants, Ernst was almost a savior, especially those who were wandering between hell and earth. It can be said that Ernst's development of East Africa gave them a way to survive.

"Let me tell you! The Hechingen royal family should be rewarded for being so kind and kind. Their family should be the first family in Germany." said an immigrant.

"But Mr. Fisher, why don't Prince Constantine and His Highness Ernst build a big castle in the first town? It doesn't need to be too big. I think it can be referred to the Hohenzollern Castle you mentioned. This so-called In my opinion, the Vester Palace is not worthy of the royal family of Hechingen." A worker said to Fischer.

Fisher really almost lost his temper!

What does "just do" mean? Although the Palace of West is a little smaller than the big palaces in Europe, it is definitely the ceiling when looking at the whole of East Africa. It directly surpasses the original Zanzibar Palace in Dar es Salaam and even in Europe. The palaces of some small countries are larger.

Immigrants from East Africa are really daring to think about, but most of these workers are farmers who have temporarily changed jobs and have little culture and knowledge themselves. It is understandable to say these things.

So, Fisher explained: "Where is this palace? Bigger is not necessarily better, especially for the royal family of Hechingen. Do you think there is such a big palace in Germany? What good things have you not seen? It's like you don't often see it. Did you say that your previous emperor used a gold hoe to hoe the ground? Gold must be too common for the emperor.

This may be the same for the Hechingen royal family. They have had enough of living in a big palace and want to build a slightly smaller residence. Isn't this the truth? "

Fischer tried his best to explain to these immigrants in plain language that Ernst actually wanted to build a bigger building, but the problem was that he had no money. If he had sufficient funds, he would definitely build a bigger one. In terms of material comfort, On the other hand, Ernst has never treated himself badly, especially since the newly planned West Palace may be the foothold of the Hechingen royal family for some time in the future.
