Chapter 313 Pirated "Stuttgart"

Heixingen.

As a small town, Hechingen has developed smoothly in recent years. However, local residents suddenly discovered that their relationship with the original Hechingen royal family was gradually drifting away. The old King Constantine had sailed across the ocean, and the young crown prince was away from the territory all day. Even when he came back, he lived directly in the castle most of the time. Hohenzollernburg was so far away from the town of Hechingen that it was equivalent to a suburb of a suburb, and was not in the same place at all.

However, because Prussia took over the order, the local citizens gradually got used to this kind of life, and now it should be called Germany. On the day of the establishment of Germany, the people of Hechingen spontaneously held a ceremony to celebrate this historical moment of the German nation.

Now, Ernst, the wandering man, has finally returned, and it is a rare occasion for him to come to the town. The huge renovated buildings in the college area seem out of place with the small and crowded streets of Hechingen. Such buildings might not be so abrupt in Stuttgart.

However, because of the Hechingen Military Academy, most of the buildings here are built according to the scale of German universities, and are even larger in scale. In comparison, other nearby schools are somewhat inferior.

Ernst looked at the Hechingen Military Academy he founded and said with emotion: "The Hechingen Military Academy has completed its historical mission in Hechingen. In the future, it will be transformed into a university for East African students to learn advanced German knowledge and technology!"

East Africa currently has no intention of building its own university, one reason being insufficient teaching staff and one reason being insufficient student enrollment, so it is better for East Africa’s higher education to be in Europe. After all, talents who can serve as university teachers in this era are in high demand no matter where they are placed, so naturally they are unwilling to develop in East Africa, which is no different from exile.

As for the student source issue, the earliest batch of primary school students in East Africa will graduate in half a year, so the construction of secondary education in East Africa can be put on the agenda.

Tom: "Your Highness, do you mean that this place will be turned into a regular German university in the future?"

Ernst nodded and said, "Well, not only should the Hechingen Military Academy be relocated to become a university, but other schools should also be integrated and turned into a German university. What name do you think would be good?"

Next to the Hechingen Military Academy there are three middle schools founded by the Hechingen royal family. Together with the Hechingen Military Academy, they form a huge university district next to the Hechingen town, which is almost as big as the Hechingen town.

Tom guessed, "Your Highness, you are planning to turn this place into a base for international students in the kingdom!"

Ernst: "Yes. Although Hechingen is a little quiet, it is not far from Stuttgart. It is a good place to run a school. People can relax and study quietly without being too isolated from the world."

To be honest, it is of course easier for universities to recruit students if they are located in cities, but since the students in the Hexingen region come from East Africa, this problem does not exist. The main issue is whether it can attract teachers.

Adults and young people are different. Young people prefer big cities, while some adults like the hustle and bustle of cities, while others like the quietness of the countryside.

The environment in Hechingen is not bad, and the campus facilities left by the Hechingen Military Academy are extremely complete, even exceeding the standard. There are no major problems with transportation. Stuttgart is a transportation hub city in southwestern Germany. After the reunification of Germany, the railways here will definitely be further repaired and strengthened. It only takes most of the day to transfer from Stuttgart to Hechingen. Hechingen will inevitably be connected to the railway system. The important reason why Hohenzollernburg can become a military fortress is because it controls the main transportation route leading to the Neckar River Valley in the Black Forest.

A main north-south thoroughfare.

Tom: "Your Highness, you are planning to train talents for the kingdom. In this case, why not set up a teachers' college? In my opinion, Hechingen's reputation mainly relies on the Hechingen Bank, but the people in the German region don't know this small place. It's better to use the name of Stuttgart. After all, Stuttgart is a well-known big city in Germany."

Most German and even European people know the name of Hechingen Bank, but they don't really know that Hechingen was originally just a place name. Some people even mistakenly believe that Hechingen is a person's name. After all, many European companies are named after people.

Ernst: "Haha, you mean Stuttgart Normal University?"

If the name is Stuttgart University of Normal, it does look impressive. Stuttgart has a relatively high status in Germany. This can indeed mislead many teachers who come to apply for the job. They originally thought that the work location was in a big city, but after arriving at the location, they found that it was just a rural area a bit close to Stuttgart.

It is a bit similar to Lanzhou University in the previous life. The name sounds like it is in the urban area of ​​Lanzhou. In fact, the largest campus is more than 40 kilometers away from the urban area. Coincidentally, Hechingen is also more than 40 kilometers away from Stuttgart.

Tom: "Your Highness, any German with a little knowledge knows about Stuttgart, and even though Hechingen was once an independent country, it was just an unknown small country ranked at the bottom of many German states. If we want to attract teachers, we must use some tricks."

Ernst: "Then why not create two! One is the Stuttgart Normal University and the other is the Stuttgart University of Technology."

After saying this, Ernst himself laughed unkindly. If the citizens of Stuttgart knew that their city was named after a school in Hechingen, they would be so shocked.

The conversation between the master and the servant revealed the purpose of Ernst's return this time, which was that the Hechingen Military Academy would be moved to East Africa. As a fake military academy in Germany, it would become the highest officially certified military academy when it returned to East Africa.

The reason why the Hechingen Military Academy was established in Germany before was that the East African colonies were just starting out at that time and could not afford the construction of the Hechingen Military Academy. Now the East African Kingdom certainly has the ability to do so, so naturally it wants to move the Hechingen Military Academy, the cradle of East African military talents, back to East Africa.

After the Hechingen Military Academy moved away, the original site became vacant, and Ernst naturally wanted to make use of it. It had only been built a few years ago, the buildings were still new, and the facilities were no worse than those of the University of Berlin. Such a good place naturally could not be abandoned.

East Africa will definitely send international students to study in Germany and Austria in the future. It is just right to integrate several schools in Hechingen to become a talent training base in East Africa.

German teachers can be recruited here to teach. They may be reluctant to go to East Africa, but it is different in Hechingen. The conditions here are not bad, it is close to home and the cost of living is low.

Another advantage of building a university in Hechingen is that it makes it easier for East Africa to manage international students. If the university is too dispersed, it may be a waste of time to train talents for Germany.

These international students will return to East Africa to build East Africa in the future. If they are sent to study in various schools in Germany, East Africa will not be able to monitor their movements in a timely manner. It is impossible to arrest them in each school one by one. This is an unavoidable problem. The backwardness of East Africa is a reality, and high-end talents generally like to flow to developed regions.

If they establish a university in Hechingen, it will be difficult for them to reach out to big cities in Germany, as this was also the former base of the Hechingen royal family. As for the subjects needed in East Africa, they can simply hire relevant teachers.
