Chapter 1241 Colonies in East Africa

Of course, there are some differences in East Africa. After all, East Africa is unprecedentedly powerful, and most of its colonies are not directly adjacent to East Africa. It is difficult for Ernst to imagine that the mainland will be surpassed by the colonies in the future, unless East Africa is divided into many small countries in the future.

And according to the land area of ​​East Africa, even if it is divided into several countries, the size of each country is considerable, and each country can get millions of square kilometers of land.

"With the development of the times, the old colonial order is difficult to maintain. Although the colonial empires of Britain, France and Germany are in their heyday, once their homeland declines, it will be difficult to maintain their overseas territory."

"If we cause trouble for them, I am afraid that the colonies of the two countries will be in chaos now."

"The Americans' approach is relatively smart, that is, through more implicit economic colonial means, so as to continuously expand their influence."

Of course, although Ernst said so, it is definitely not that the Americans are really wise and more civilized than Britain and France, but that they have no choice, so they have to do so. After all, the essence of overseas colonies has been divided up by Europe. If the goal can be achieved through traditional colonial means, no one is willing to adopt economic colonial means.

After all, without strong military strength to support it, this kind of economic colonial means is difficult to maintain, and the profit is not as fast as traditional colonialism through killing, burning and looting.

In fact, most parts of the world are progressing, which also makes colonization more and more difficult.

Apart from other things, since the Age of Exploration, three world powers have emerged outside of Europe, namely the United States, East Africa and Japan, which is itself a shock to the old colonial system.

East Kalimantan.

The Governor of East Kalimantan is listening to the current data of the colonies.

“The registered colonial population is mainly composed of four parts, our citizens, Chinese immigrants, white immigrants, and the original indigenous immigrants.”

“Among them, the indigenous immigrants are the largest, about 160,000, the citizens are about 3,000, the white immigrants are 30,000, the Chinese immigrants are 40,000, and there are a small number of foreigners such as the Dutch.”

In the past year, the indigenous population of East Kalimantan has dropped by nearly half, and most of them are pagans or Hindus.

These two religions have a certain influence in the entire Nanyang region and are also the focus of the East African colonial government.

"We have taken over four coal mines, one oil field, and other types of mines. These are the most valuable mineral resources in East Kalimantan. Other industries are concentrated in the hands of the Dutch, but they are not valuable. There were not many Dutch people in East Kalimantan, and most of them were engaged in business."

How did East Africa get the mineral resources of East Kalimantan? Of course, they were snatched from the original local ruling class, that is, the two sultanates in East Kalimantan.

"At the same time, there are about 20,000 indigenous people under our command who have been classified as slaves. Most of them were followers of the original sultanate."

The slavery system has been completely abolished in East Africa. After all, even black people are going to disappear from East Africa, and the original "labor" system no longer exists. This labor is actually a slave, but this system still exists in East African colonies, especially in East Kalimantan, Togoland, and New Guinea.

"Last month, we officially completed the elimination of local forces. As for the few natives who fled into the mountains, it is estimated that they will hardly survive."

"The only thing worth noting is that some people fled north to the British colonies, which is also the biggest security risk at present."

East Kalimantan Governor Kabe said: "Don't worry about it. The population that fled to the British colonies is a minority after all, and they are now like water without a source and trees without roots. Even if they want to make a comeback in the future, they have lost the soil."

East Africa's governance of colonies has always been a direct blood transfusion, through immigration and forced integration to completely change the local population structure. So Kabe is not worried about these little bugs that jump out of East Africa's net. In the past, they might have been able to use their influence to provoke local people to resist East Africa. If they can return to this land a few years later, things will have changed.

Kabe said: "The biggest problem in East Kalimantan now is that the population is too small. The population of only about 200,000 is not even comparable to the neighboring Mindanao."

"And the empire's order is for us to accept more people. Within five years, the population of the entire East Kalimantan must exceed one million, and the German language must be popularized at the same time. This is a big challenge for us. These two things alone are enough to make us busy."

In the colonies in the Southeast Asia region of East Africa, the population of Lan Fang Overseas Province is counted as the local population of East Africa. After all, it is one of the provinces of East Africa.

So the only reference for East Kalimantan is Mindanao. After nearly a decade of development, the population of Mindanao has now exceeded 500,000, of which nearly 65% ​​are Chinese immigrants.

After all, when East Africa colonized Mindanao, it did not encounter a good historical opportunity, that is, the period of European population outflow during World War I.

However, the situation in East Kalimantan is not much better. After all, the hundreds of thousands of natives are also yellow people, and they will automatically be classified as Chinese immigrants in the future, so even if the citizens of East Africa and white immigrants add up, it is less than 20%.

This means that in the future, the people in these two regions will be more oriental compared to the native East African population.

Kabe's assistant said: "Although the task is heavy, it is also a good thing. It shows that the empire attaches great importance to East Kalimantan. After all, if it is really like the Kingdom of North Hawaii or the South Ryukyu Islands, it is really hopeless for official career."

The small colonies in East Africa are the real exile areas. Compared with those small and pitiful islands, Alaska is a prosperous place.

Now the population of the Alaska colony has reached nearly 900,000, and it is expected to become the first overseas territory in East Africa with a population of over one million.

After all, the Rhine Royal Family acquired Alaska earlier than the mainland, so with the blessing of time, the current population of this extremely cold land of Alaska is also very considerable.

You should know that the population of Alaska under the rule of the United States in the 21st century in the previous life was only about 700,000, and East Africa reached this level in the early 20th century. This is also a feature of East Africa's immigration policy, especially Alaska in East Africa is smaller than Alaska in the United States in the previous life.

The reason why Alaska can support so many people is ultimately due to the local climate. Although most of Alaska is covered with ice and snow, the temperate marine climate area in the south still has farming conditions. Coupled with rich natural resources, it is relatively easy to feed a million people.

If Alaska were all extremely cold, it would not be possible for Alaska to develop into the largest overseas colony in East Africa today.

Of course, the factor of immigration from the Far East Empire cannot be ignored. After all, there is no other choice in East Africa. European whites are not easy to deceive. Africa or other tropical regions can still make false propaganda, but Alaska is almost impossible to wash.

The same is true for the Beibu Gulf Territory, that is, the colonies along the Persian Gulf. It is not easy to fool people in the desert area, but the Beibu Gulf in East Africa does not need too many people. It is Ernst's treasure pot. As long as a certain number of troops can be stationed, it will be fine.

Although Alaska has the largest population among the colonies, Mindanao has grown the fastest in the past decade. After all, East Africa once implemented the "Three Alls" policy in Mindanao, and Mindanao almost became a white land. Compared with the current East Kalimantan, where there are still hundreds of thousands of natives, it is indeed more cruel.

The reason for this result is the belief problem of the natives in Mindanao. Although there are many pagans in East Kalimantan, there are still some primitive religions, or tribes similar to blacks. These real barbarians can be educated in East Africa.

At present, there are four major colonies actively developed in East Africa, namely East Kalimantan, Mindanao, New Guinea and Togoland. Although Togoland has the smallest area, it has the largest development space, after all, it is in West Africa.
