African Entrepreneurship Record

Chapter 341 Democratic Election

The Hechingen Consortium has increased investment in North America and the Far East, and its financial investment in East Africa has accordingly decreased. The actual reason is that East Africa is digesting previous results. Investment in East Africa is mainly concentrated in the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone and Northern Industry district.

Among them, the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone is independently invested by the Hechingen Consortium, and it will take some time for the heavy industry in the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone to be put into production.

The construction of the factory alone took a lot of time, not to mention the larger infrastructure construction. The coast of Lake Malawi, especially in East Africa, is an area with poor geographical conditions and is mountainous, so road construction is relatively difficult and needs to be bypassed. The rugged terrain greatly increased construction costs.

After all this is completed, the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone will still need new immigrants to fill it, and industry will need workers. However, at this stage, the overall number of immigrants in East Africa is showing a downward trend.

In particular, the number of German immigrants has dropped sharply. Without a sufficient number of German immigrants, we must be cautious when introducing immigrants from other ethnic groups.

In this regard, East Africa is increasing its efforts to develop the potential of Hungary, after all, the Magyars of the Kingdom of Hungary only account for five percent of the Hungarian population.

This stems from the unique concept of the Magyar nobility. Due to the proliferation of Hungarian nobility, with a number of more than 600,000 (plus the new Lombard nobility), the Magyar nobility can easily automatically classify themselves as a group. They Excommunicate the untouchables in the Hungarian countryside and declare: "Only the landowners are the real Magyars!"

Nationalism was prevalent in the 19th century, but Hungarian nationalism was not pure. It can be said that Hungary is a region that wears the cloak of nationalism and at the same time resolutely defends the interests of conservatives. It can be said that it is under the guise of nationalism. to protect their own interests.

In this case, can Austria assimilate these rural untouchables? The answer is no, although the Austro-Hungarian Empire actively promoted compulsory education and wanted to strengthen its national identity.

It has a little effect, but not much, because all schools in Hungary teach Magyar, which means that compulsory education cannot change the current situation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but will accelerate Hungarian national identity. Therefore, East Africa is now rushing to send those Hungarian civilians to East Africa before compulsory education is popularized in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Although Hungarian immigrants are more cognitively inclined towards Hungary, at least geographically, everything will no longer be a problem when they arrive in East Africa. Changing nationality is a simple and crude matter.

However, most Hungarian immigrants only speak Magyar, which is indeed a problem, so they cannot be grouped together alone.

These Hungarian immigrants cannot fill sparsely populated areas such as Zambia and Zimbabwe, but it is still feasible to supplement the population in eastern East Africa.

After such a long period of development in East Africa, the popularization of the German language has been quite complete. The German-speaking environment has forced other ethnic groups to learn German. This is inevitable. Without German, it is really difficult and life becomes a problem.

Generally speaking, it only takes two or three months for everyone to learn German through a German-speaking environment. Even a hard-headed person can master it in half a year to a year.

Hungarian immigrants were used to populate the east, so East Africa could free up German immigrants to consolidate construction work in areas such as Zimbabwe.

The East African Kingdom, angry at being manipulated by the Ndebele people, ordered the Shona people to capture all the Ndebele people who had enslaved them in the past, and then sent them to the Central Province to dig canals.

Although the Ndebele people have been punished, the East African Kingdom has also put the development of the local area on the agenda, and co-governance with the indigenous people has become a thing of the past.

But how to deal with the larger local Shona people? The East African Kingdom decided to engage in some crooked ways to consume the local indigenous people bit by bit without causing fierce resistance.

The first is to forcibly divide the Shona tribe into more than 150 large tribes based on region. Almost one large tribe has more than 10,000 people. This is its largest unit, so that it will not form a new core.

Then East Africa sent more than a hundred soldiers to each large tribe, that is, a company was responsible for the stability of the large tribes within its jurisdiction. In this way, where every large indigenous tribe exists, East Africa will have an organized combat force that can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. It will not be suddenly annihilated by the indigenous people like before. Even if it falls into a disadvantage, it can still wait for reinforcements.

Second, there is direct rule over the Shona, who, like the Ndebele, become local rulers themselves rather than share power.

As for how to ensure that these indigenous people can accept rule safely and at the same time reduce the number of indigenous people in an orderly manner, East Africa also came up with a vicious plan, that is, the electoral system.

In the name of the gods, East Africa requires that each Shona tribe must pay tribute to one hundred slaves, and whoever becomes a slave must be carefully discussed. If the East African Kingdom directly appoints slave candidates, it will definitely cause the Shona people to share the same hatred and the conflict will eventually point to East Africa.

Therefore, East Africa does not forcefully designate who is a slave, but allows the Shona people to choose slaves themselves. These indigenous people, who were temporarily brought together by East Africa by force, are inherently contradictory, so they vote those who have conflicts with them as slaves. That must be very positive.

"Procedural democracy!", "Mob politics!"

The "lucky ones" who are "elected" will contribute to the development of East Africa. As for the remaining indigenous people, don't worry. The main theme is "Everyone is like a dragon" and everyone has a chance.

This move was very vicious, forcibly shifting the conflict onto the different ethnic groups of the Shona people, causing them to fall into internal strife.

At the same time, the number of slaves extracted in East Africa is only a small number, which is about 1%, which will make most of the indigenous people take chances, just like pedestrians crossing the road. With so many people doing this, it is impossible to cause a traffic accident. It just happens to be me.

In the end, East Africa transferred 15,000 slaves from Zimbabwe every three months. However, the Shona population in Zimbabwe currently only has nearly 2 million people (modern Zimbabwe has a population of about 16 million). It will not take long for Zimbabwe to Able to turn from black to white, these 15,000 slaves were used to support construction projects across East Africa.

Such a good "strategy" cannot be allowed to be enjoyed by Zimbabwe itself, but must be implemented in all indigenous settlements in East Africa.

While the export of Zimbabwean blacks continued, new immigrants from East Africa continued to be imported into the Zimbabwe region, consolidating East African rule.

There are only two million Shona people in Zimbabwe. It seems that the population is relatively small. In fact, it is in the middle and upper reaches of Africa. Zimbabwe only has a total of more than 300,000 square kilometers, close to more than 400,000 square kilometers, and there is less precipitation. So There are more than two million indigenous people (including the Ndebele people) in the "small" area, and the population density is much higher than that of the East African grasslands.
