Chapter 877 Cooperative Education
The hard days of Jiaozhou sailors are still to come! Because according to the decision of the East African government, or Ernst's decision, the East African instructors will continue to train these Far Eastern Empire sailors for more than a year, and the training will be carried out in a completely simulated war mode until May next year.
Because according to the original history, Japan will invade Korea in June of the next year, and Korea will inevitably ask its suzerain country for help afterwards.
Of course, history is not static. It is hard to say whether the Far Eastern Empire will encounter this disaster. If a strong man is sent from heaven or if they are lucky, they may be able to block Japan's first wave of offensive.
That’s right, it was the first wave of offensive. According to Ernst’s understanding of the Japanese, “small” setbacks were completely surmountable for their ambitions. Just like in the previous life, if there were no atomic bombs, they would probably have to invade Edo and capture the Japanese emperor alive to force them to surrender reluctantly.
Ernst did this not entirely out of personal selfishness. It was also to safeguard the independence of the Far Eastern Empire and the interests of East Africa in the Far East. For example, the economic development of Jiaozhou today, with the help of East Africa, is thirty years earlier than in the past. Countries such as Britain, Germany, Japan, and the United States are all very jealous of Jiaozhou.
The problem is that this piece of cake was made bigger by East Africa, so it is naturally impossible to share it with other countries. Of course, Germany and Austria-Hungary can still participate in it. After all, the development of Jiaozhou East Africa was under the flags of the two countries. At that time, East Africa was still the "African Chief" in the eyes of the previous emperor of the Far Eastern Empire.
…
Dar es Salaam city.
The East District of Dar es Salaam is particularly lively today as the second higher education institution registered by the Ministry of Education was established in Dar es Salaam after the University of Dar es Salaam.
Many important officials from the Dar es Salaam City Government and the Central Provincial Government participated in the celebration.
“Inauguration Ceremony of Dar es Salaam Polytechnic.”
There was a red banner with white markings hanging across the gate of an "East African" style university. It was called an "East African" style university gate because universities in East Africa are different from many mainstream schools in the world today.
In the eyes of many people, East Africa’s higher education institutions are like East Africa’s transportation planning, with some “serious” waste and weird styles.
This is naturally also Ernst's masterpiece. After all, as a civil engineer, Ernst has a good ability to copy others. He borrowed a lot from the characteristics of 21st century oriental campuses. If not 100% similar, then 99% are the same, including this rather "grand" university gate that embodies the style of industrial minimalism.
This architectural style, which Ernst was used to seeing in his previous life and even felt visually tired of, had an unexpected effect when placed in the 19th century, especially among a bunch of European-style buildings.
At this time, Constantine was chatting with his German "fellow countryman": "Director Wagri is also from Stuttgart. What do you think of our city of Dar es Salaam?"
When in Europe, Stuttgart was the closest big city to the Principality of Hechingen. The previous generation Prince of Hechingen, Ernst's grandfather, donated a lot to Stuttgart's education.
Now the situation has finally turned around, with the city of Stuttgart supporting East Africa's higher education. Of course, this must have been coordinated by "Berlin". After all, Germany's higher education resources are limited, and East Africa is a "remote and poor area". Without the promotion of the German government, this kind of thing would be difficult to accomplish.
The Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology was built with the support of the Stuttgart United Technical School. Of course, since 1876, it has been renamed Stuttgart Higher Technical College.
Of course, in the 21st century, it had a more famous name - the University of Stuttgart, a member of the TU9 alliance of nine outstanding technical universities in Germany. Together with Aachen University of Technology, Berlin University of Technology, Technical University of Munich, Darmstadt University of Technology and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, it is considered to be the six most prestigious technical universities in Germany.
The Stuttgart Institute of Technology was founded in 1829. In another thirty years, it will also be a "century-old prestigious school."
Therefore, the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology, which was mainly built with assistance from this school, also makes it easier for the East African government to introduce the German higher education system.
Wagli had long known about Constantine, the East African king who was also famous in Stuttgart. After all, when he was a primary school student, Constantine was one of the celebrities in the Stuttgart area.
After all, Hechingen is too close to Stuttgart. Most people in Stuttgart and even the former Kingdom of Württemberg know about the existence of the Principality of Hechingen. This is especially true after East Africa became a world power. After all, it is considered a "big man" from the vicinity of Stuttgart.
“Your Majesty, after arriving in Dar es Salaam, I felt a sense of familiarity. The style here is similar to that of Stuttgart.”
Wagri was not complimenting but speaking realistically. This was inevitable, as the Hechingen royal family originated from the Principality of Hechingen near Stuttgart, so the East African Kingdom had a strong "South German style" or more accurately, "Swabian style".
Constantine was very happy to hear his evaluation. Although he had been living in East Africa for many years, he also had feelings for Germany.
“Director Wagri, this East German cooperation is a good opportunity for your school and East Africa. Although East Africa was established not long ago, it is no exaggeration to say that Dar es Salaam ranks well in the world in all fields. The only thing that does not match is the higher education situation in Dar es Salaam.”
Constantine went on to say: "Cities like Berlin, London, Vienna, and Paris are all home to many universities, but Dar es Salaam only had one university before, which had not been under construction for several years. Your support has greatly enriched the educational resources of Dar es Salaam and added more German cultural heritage to the city."
The higher education resources in Dar es Salaam are indeed not matched with the size of the city. Even a "small city" like Stuttgart has several universities.
Of course, this "small city" is relative to Dar es Salaam. Dar es Salaam should be on the same level as cities such as Munich in Germany.
Moreover, Dar es Salaam’s higher education resources are actually concentrated in the nearby “Soga City”, including the East African Power University, the top university in East Africa, which is also located in Soga City, as well as a number of schools and research institutes.
Soga City is only a dozen kilometers away from Dar es Salaam City. In this way, as long as Dar es Salaam City gradually expands, it will inevitably border Soga City in the future.
Not to mention Soga City, even the distance to the First Town City also has this possibility. After all, Ernst will move the capital in the future, and after the First Town City loses its political function, it will definitely have to integrate into the Dar es Salaam economic circle.
Of course, there are few universities in East Africa. Except for a few key universities, other schools are far behind European and American universities. This is also an important reason why East Africa is eager to cooperate with the German government in running schools.
East Africa has trained a lot of college students, but there are not many who can stand on their own, and these top talents are divided up among various research institutions. Therefore, in order to accelerate the development of higher education in East Africa, cooperation with Germany, Austria and other German countries is inevitable.
