African Entrepreneurship Records

  Chapter 341 Democratic Election

The Hexingen consortium has increased investment in North America and the Far East, and the investment in East Africa has also decreased accordingly. The actual reason is that East Africa is digesting the previous achievements. The investment in East Africa is mainly concentrated in the Lake Malawi Industrial Zone and North Industries. 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 start production.

It took a lot of time just to build the factory building, not to mention the larger infrastructure construction, and the coast of Lake Malawi, especially in East Africa, where the geographical conditions are relatively poor and mountainous, so the road construction is relatively difficult and needs to be bypassed The rough terrain greatly increased the construction cost.

   After all this is completed, the Lake Malawi industrial area still needs new immigrants to fill it, and the industry needs 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. If there is not a sufficient number of German immigrants, we must be cautious when introducing immigrants from other ethnic groups.

  In this regard, East Africa is stepping up efforts to develop the potential of Hungary. After all, the Magyars in the Kingdom of Hungary account for only 5% of the population of Hungary.

This stems from the unique concept of the Magyar nobles. Due to the proliferation of Hungarian nobles, the number of which is as high as more than 600,000 (plus the newly appointed nobles of Lombardy), it is easy for the Magyar nobles to automatically classify themselves into a group. Excommunicated the untouchables of the Hungarian countryside, declaring: "Only landowners are true Magyars!"

Nationalism was prevalent in the 19th century, but Hungarian nationalism was not pure. Hungary can be said to be a region that wears the cloak of nationalism and at the same time firmly defends the interests of conservatives. It can be said that it is under the guise of nationalism to protect its 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 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 status quo of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but will accelerate the Hungarian national identity. Therefore, East Africa is now rushing to send those Hungarian civilians to East Africa before compulsory education in the Austro-Hungarian Empire became popular.

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

   But most Hungarian immigrants, who only speak Magyar, are indeed a problem, so they cannot be grouped together alone.

  These Hungarian immigrants cannot be filled into thinly populated areas such as Zambia and Zimbabwe, but it is still feasible to supplement the population of East Africa.

  After such a long period of development in East Africa, the popularization of German has been quite complete. The German environment forces other ethnic groups to learn German. This is inevitable. It is really difficult to not know German, and life is a problem.

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

  Hungarian immigrants are used to fill the east, and East Africa can free up German immigrants to consolidate the construction work in Zimbabwe and other regions.

  Being put together by the Ndebele people, the East African kingdom became angry and 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 a canal.

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

  But what should the local Shona people do with the larger number? The Kingdom of East Africa decided to do something crooked, and consume the local natives little by little on the premise that it would not cause fierce resistance.

  First of all, the Shona people are forcibly divided into more than 150 large tribes according to the region. Almost a 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 100 soldiers in each big tribe, that is, a company responsible for the stability of the big tribes in the jurisdiction. In this way, where every large tribe of the aborigines exists, East Africa has a well-organized combat force that can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and will not be wiped out suddenly by the aborigines like before.

  Secondly, direct rule over the Shona, which is the same as the Ndebele people, who are local rulers themselves, rather than sharing power.

  As for how to ensure that these aborigines accept the rule stably and at the same time reduce the number of aborigines in an orderly manner, East Africa has also come up with a poisonous plan, that is, the electoral system.

  East Africa, in the name of the gods, requires each large Shona tribe to pay tribute to one hundred slaves, and whoever becomes a slave must talk about it. 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 lets the Shona people choose their own slaves. These indigenous people who were temporarily brought together by force in East Africa have many conflicts, so they vote for slaves who have conflicts with themselves. That's definitely 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". Everyone has a chance.

  This trick is very vicious, and it forces the contradictions to be passed on to different groups of the Shona people, causing them to fall into internal friction.

At the same time, the number of slaves drawn in East Africa each time is not much, that is, about 1%, which will make most of the indigenous people feel lucky, just like pedestrians crossing the road. With so many people doing this, it is impossible to have a traffic accident It just happens to be me.

In the end, East Africa transferred 15,000 slaves from Zimbabwe every three months, and the population of the Shona in Zimbabwe is currently only nearly 2 million (about 16 million in modern Zimbabwe). From black to white, the 15,000 slaves were used to support construction projects across East Africa.

   Such a good "trick" cannot be enjoyed by Zimbabwe itself, and must be implemented in all indigenous settlements in East Africa.

  While black Zimbabweans continue to be exported, new immigrants from East Africa are continuously imported into Zimbabwe to consolidate East African rule.

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