  Chapter 85 East Africa in the eyes of Maximilian I

  The so-called asking God is easy to send God away, Maximilian I, who has a strong self-esteem, does not want to go back to Europe. He thinks that he is very talented, if he just goes back in such a disgrace, he will definitely be ridiculed by everyone.

  The end of July.

  The port of Mombasa is quite prosperous. Because of the distance, immigrants from Asia currently land here, while immigrants from Europe land in the port of Dar es Salaam.

  Maximiliano I came to Mombasa with the fleet of Chinese immigrants. He only stayed in Alaska for one day. That place is not a place for people to stay.

  There is no diplomatic office of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Far East for the time being ("Central Austria-Hungary Beijing Treaty" in 1869), so the ships of the royal family of Hechingen can only bring Maximilian I to East Africa.

  East Africa can directly contact the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Maximilian I in Mombasa immediately found an organization.

   After all, there are many immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian Empire here (the immigrants from the colonies will be distributed and scattered to settle down.) Maximilian I got a lot of information.

  After learning that this was the territory of his future son-in-law, Maximilian I did not intend to leave. He used the excuse of being unwell and no longer returned to Europe by boat with the students of the Hechingen Military Academy.

The East African colonial government and the Hechingen Military Academy Special Operations Team are not going to force Maximilian I to go back. After all, it is the territory of the royal family of Hechingen, and Maximilian I is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness, so Maximilian I is currently the person with the highest status in the East African colonies.

  Of course, no one dares to neglect Maximilian I as the emperor of Mexico alone, let alone a member of the royal family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

  Even though the environment in East Africa is not as good as that of Europe, and the development is not as mature as Mexico, Maximilian I feels that it is not bad here.

  Like Mexico, East Africa is also a tropical region. Both are dominated by plateau terrain, so the coastal environment is somewhat similar.

  Maximiliano I was walking on the wharf in Mombasa, watching the busy workers carrying goods.

  He was followed by the students of the Hechingen Military Academy, responsible for their safety.

  From Mexico to East Africa, Maximilian I knew that this group of people who looked similar to Indians were not Indians. They even spoke fluent German, which was very similar to the language of northern Austria.

  Maximiliano I was of course very angry. When he was in Mexico, Maximilian I always thought that these people were Indians who supported him in Mexico, but because he couldn’t understand what he said, he didn’t communicate with him.

   As a result, when replenishing supplies in Alaska, the local managers communicated with these students in German, and Maximilian I knew that these people in front of them were not language barriers, but simply did not communicate with themselves.

  After arriving in East Africa, Ernst received the telegram, and it was not easy for Maximilian I to return to Europe immediately. After all, the Queen Mother Sophie was quite emotional. If she saw this unfilial son, it would be another court drama.

  The so-called distance creates beauty. Before Maximilian I returned to Europe, he was still the poor young son in the eyes of the Queen Mother Sophie. It will take a while until both parties give up their obsessions before letting them meet.

  Maximiliano I, who had nothing to do, wandered around Mombasa all day long. Before becoming emperor, Maximilian I was actually more interested in entomology.

  In East Africa, Maximilian I wanted to return to the mountains completely, to explore and search for various East African characteristic insects.

  The East African colonial government certainly could not agree, and the scope of activities of Maximilian I was also fixed around Mombasa.

   "Li, why are you both of the yellow race, and you Chinese are more understanding than Indians!" Maximilian I said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to correct a mistake. I am first and foremost a German, not a Chinese. The education I have received tells me that Germany is a cultural symbol. Anyone who accepts German culture from his heart is a German. If the nation is divided by skin color and blood, then the German nation located in the center of Europe will be divided into pieces." Roy Lee replied.

   "You are right! Just like the Austro-Hungarian Empire, if everyone agrees with German culture, it will not change from the Austrian Empire to what it is today." Maximilian I agreed.

  The role of cultural identity is nothing more than this. The German region located in the interior of Europe is an area where various ethnic groups blend.

  A country like Prussia, which was not originally a traditional German region, was abruptly pulled into the German region by Brandenburg, and eventually dominated the politics of the German region.

The same is true of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During the period of the Austrian Empire, it was not a purely German country. As long as Austria wins the competition with Prussia for the dominance of the German region, the Germans will immediately become the main population in the country. What is nationalism? It is simply a small problem that Austria worries about.

  It is a pity that Austria lost the Austro-Prussian War, the Greater German Empire could not be established, and the Hungarians and other nationalities in the country could not be suppressed.

   "Yes, if Austria had realized the importance of cultural identity, it wouldn't have lost so badly."

  Maximiliano I watched Mombasa cooperate with each other and live together, a harmonious Austro-Hungarian Empire and Chinese immigrants said.

  Leaving Mexico, Maximilian I seems to have found the days when he pointed the country and scolded Fang Qiu.

  Government in Mexico, every day is intrigue, quarreling with conservatives and republicans every day. While the rebels were victorious every day, their own side was the object of wrath and grievances, and Maximilian I could not hear any good news.

   "Ernst did a good job. He gave everyone the motivation to live. Although East Africa is not very rich, it is much fairer than Mexico." Maximilian I said.

"Principal, the requirements for immigrants are very strict. Although the cultural level of immigrants is generally low, they are not influenced by messy thoughts. These immigrants are very simple in their hearts. As long as they can have a good living condition, they actually don't have much interest in politics. ’” Roy Lee said.

"Yeah! Mexico is very bad. All kinds of ideas take root in Mexico, Americans, French, republicans, monarchists... No one sits honestly at the negotiating table and wants to use Solve the problem by force!" concluded Maximilian I.

  Roy Lee naturally couldn't tell Maximilian I, and it's the same for you, so I'm ashamed to mention others!

"The society in East Africa as a whole is relatively backward, unlike Mexico, which came into contact with civilized society early, and our principal often warns us that people can't learn to run before they learn to walk, so don't be blind before changing the social and economic foundation of East Africa. Adopting a seemingly advanced system should be adapted to local conditions." Roy Lee changed the subject.

"Ernst has a lot of fallacies! But there are some truths. I also actively promote social reform in Mexico, but the Mexican people still oppose my rule, even if I give them freedom and equal rights, even in At the beginning of Mexico, I thought about pardoning Juárez and others, but in the end everyone opposed me, but I asked myself, the policies I promoted were all advocated by European philosophers. The Mexican people still cannot accept these advanced theories.” Maximilian I said narcissistically.

  As an idealist, Maximilian I's governance behavior, on the surface, is indeed good governance that benefits Mexico, and he really has no selfishness after becoming emperor.

However, the reason why Maximilian I's subordinates and Nasan supported him was to **** blood in Mexico with peace of mind, and Maximilian I winked at the blind republican, not only did not get praise, but provoked Sao.

Seeing that East Africa as a colony was not to mention how prosperous it was under the rule of Ernst, but it was full of order and vitality. Compared with Mexico as an independent country, its chaotic and turbulent situation, Maximilian I couldn't help but feel God's blessing. Discrimination.
