Chapter 183 Arrival
In the study.
After seeing his father off, Ernst breathed a sigh of relief. Now that things had come to this, he could only respect his father's decision.
At present, it seems that letting my father go to East Africa to take charge is indeed the best solution. Prince Constantine has enough prestige and ability, and no one in his own colony is so blind as to dare to provoke a monarch from Europe.
Reverence for the nobility is engraved in the hearts of immigrants. Immigrants from East African colonies all came from feudal or authoritarian regions (Paraguay), and they naturally have a sense of awe for the nobility.
The officials and mercenaries in the East African colonies were all Germans and knew the status of a German monarch. Moreover, they were just workers and most of them would not stay in East Africa in the end. Moreover, most of them were retired personnel from the Prussian army and were not young anymore, so they could not stay in East Africa for long.
As for the students of the Hechingen Military Academy, they would certainly obey Prince Constantine's words. After all, the Hechingen Military Academy was built in Hechingen, and Prince Constantine was also a frequent visitor to the Hechingen Military Academy and often dealt with students.
Finally, there are the employees of the Heixingen Group. There are not many of them and they are rotated frequently. In East Africa, they are mainly responsible for economic affairs, that is, auditing accounts.
In other words, there is no one in East Africa who does not obey Prince Constantine. After all, it is a well-known fact among East Africans that the Hechingen royal family is the masters of East Africa.
It’s just that it’s difficult for immigrants in East Africa to see the legendary figures, just like the emperor, who stays in the deep palace all his life and it does not affect his status as the supreme ruler.
Ernst sat back at his desk and looked at the unfinished plan for upgrading and renovating the First Town on the table. He had no choice but to go back to the drawing board and start over.
With the addition of Constantine, the First Town could definitely no longer be upgraded and renovated according to the original design, and the funds that were originally intended to be saved seemed inevitable.

"Who are you? Don't move!" On the border of the Yek Kingdom, several natives suddenly blocked the way of Merk and his group.
"Bring the native translator here!" Becker ordered the soldiers behind him.
Soon, a dark-skinned native was picked out from the end of the team. He was the translator found by the East African colony. It was impossible for East Africans to learn the native language, so they could only choose one from the native slaves.
Among the hundreds of thousands of indigenous slaves, there were always a few with good language talents. They learned German through contact with the East African colonies, so they were temporarily used as translators in the East African colonies.
"Tell them that we are guests from afar and have no ill will towards them," Becker said to the translator.
So the translator began to relay Becker's words to the other party, and the two sides began to communicate.
"Where are you from?" the native asked cautiously.
"Eastern countries," said Becker.
When talking about colonies with these natives, I guess the concept of colonies doesn't even exist in their language.
After hearing what Becker said, the native's expression changed drastically, although nothing could be seen because of his skin color.
To the east, there must be the East African colonies. The Yek Kingdom and the East African colonies have had several dealings, especially when the East African colonies expelled the natives to the southwest and northwest regions.
At that time, some of the East Bantu indigenous people who entered the southwest entered the Kingdom of Malawi, and some entered the Kingdom of Yek.
Among them, many of the East Bantu natives who entered the Yek Kingdom were pacified by Msiri, after all, Msiri also came from the Tanganyika region.
These people spread the terror of the East African colonies to the entire Yeke Kingdom and described the East African colonial army as the devil's army.
The upper class and some soldiers of the Yek Kingdom certainly did not believe the nonsense of these East Bantu people. After all, they had seen firearms before. The Yek Kingdom even had an army equipped purely with muskets.
However, more people in the Yek Kingdom believed it. It is said that three people can make a tiger, and tens of thousands of mouths can make a dead person alive.
Moreover, the common people of the Yek Kingdom believed that their king and the East African colonies were the same group of devils. After all, they both came from the East and used firearms.
The number of East Bantu natives expelled from East Africa that were taken in by the Yek Kingdom was not large. At the beginning, most of the natives were driven to the northwest region by East Africa.
The remaining small portion was divided up by the Kingdom of Malawi, and most of it was divided up by the Kingdom of Malawi. There were not many East Bantu indigenous people in the Kingdom of Yek.
Considering that they were from the same hometown, Msiri pacified and employed these Eastern Bantu people in large numbers to suppress opponents in the Yek Kingdom and surrounding forces.
The army of the Yek Kingdom also became a paradise for these indigenous people from the Tanganyika region. Except for the most elite firearms troops under Musiri, the army of the Yek Kingdom was basically composed of the more brave and warlike East Bantu people.
The natives who blocked Becker and others' way were the East Bantu natives who had been incorporated into the Yek Kingdom.
It can be seen from their weapons, all spears and bows and arrows, that they are obviously the peripheral troops of the Yek Kingdom.
"Are you the devil's people?" An East Bantu soldier shouted to Becker and others tremblingly, holding his weapon tightly.
The indigenous East Bantu people on the East African grasslands were truly brave and warlike, and they were born to fight wild beasts. However, the East African colonies were too unreasonable and directly used hot weapons to surprise these East Bantu people.
No matter how good your kung fu skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. The indigenous people who fled from the Tanganyika area naturally could not forget these terrifying East Africans.
"Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. The main reason we come here this time is to meet your King Musiri." Becker said to the soldiers of the Yek Kingdom.
It doesn’t matter whether they are devils or not. As long as the purpose of this trip is achieved, Becker will make a lot of money, so Becker tried to speak to these natives in a friendly manner.
After a round of negotiations, the natives finally understood the purpose of Becker and his companions’ visit, so they said, “Dear guests from afar, we must first report to the great Majesty Musiri. Only after the great Majesty Musiri agrees, can we allow you to go to the palace to meet him.”
