African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 1316 Dialogue
After the British evacuated, Hemmert led his men to patrol Diego Garcia Island and gained a preliminary understanding of the place.

"This island is long and narrow overall, with the narrowest part only a few hundred meters, so if we want to use it to build a military base, it will obviously take some thought."

"Based on the layout of the island, we can judge that the location where the British built the port is the most essential part of the island."

“Although it’s not large, it’s an excellent sheltered area with usable land and is relatively dispersed.”

Although Diego Garcia Island has an area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers, it is a circular island reef. The land exposed above the water is like a ribbon, so it looks particularly narrow and long. In the past, the US military air base built an aircraft runway with the help of this unique terrain.

In the following days, Hemmert and his team carried out preliminary transformation of the island, mainly removing some traces left by the British military base.

When the British withdrew, they took almost nothing with them. The food and ammunition in the warehouse were all neatly stacked in the warehouse. However, the quantity of these supplies was not large. After all, the number of British troops stationed here was only about thirty people.

However, East Africa's large-scale takeover of Diego Garcia Island seemed a bit wasteful, so Hemert and his party did not stay here for too long. After leaving behind thirty sailors, Hemert returned to his homeland with his fleet.

The subsequent construction of Diego Garcia Island will naturally be carried out by local professionals. The first step is to collect hydrological data for the entire Chagos Archipelago. There are many islands and reefs here, and some reefs are not easy to observe in the sea, which may pose a threat to the navigation of ships that are not familiar with the local conditions.

Therefore, although East Africa has taken over the Chagos Archipelago, there is still a lot of work to be done. The port obviously needs to be expanded on a large scale, and the warehouses and barracks on the island also need to be expanded.

Unlike the UK, which does not pay much attention to Diego Garcia Island, East Africa will build it into one of the core military bases in the Indian Ocean.

……

1918 6 Month 5 Day.

In the city of Rhine, Ernst summoned Crown Prince Alexei and his entourage. After all, the East African government had already agreed to Britain's request to take action against Russia, so it was obvious that it still had to take some action.

Ernst said to Crown Prince Alexei: "Little Alexei, I have a very sad news to tell you. After our long exploration, we still haven't found any trace of your father and his men."

Ernst was not lying to Alexei and the others about this. The East African National Defense Security Agency had indeed tried to find the whereabouts of Nicholas II. But unfortunately, facing the Russian Labor Party, most of the previous methods of the National Defense Security Agency became ineffective.

During the Tsarist era, the National Security Service was able to gain power in Russia through bribery, personal networks, and other means, but the Russian Labor Party did not follow these practices.

When it came to the whereabouts of Nicholas II, the number one "criminal", the Russian Labor Party was obviously more rigorous and did not reveal any clues.

If you think about it, you will realize that Nicholas II had a strong appeal. If his position had been leaked, he would have been rescued by the Russian royalists long ago.

Of course, if the National Security Agency is willing to take risks and spend a lot of effort to find Nicholas II, it is still possible. After all, the Labour Party is not a monolithic entity, especially the grassroots members of the Labour Party. There are many rogues who have infiltrated, and such speculators are everywhere.

However, if one wants to eventually find the whereabouts of Nicholas II through such a person, one must take huge risks, obtain a large amount of data, and mobilize a large number of professionals to conduct analysis.

Unfortunately, the East African National Defense Security Agency is currently in the midst of a "great retreat" from Russia and is already short of staff, let alone spending a lot of energy looking for Nicholas II.

"From what we know, your parents and two sisters are most likely being held captive by the Labor Party somewhere in eastern Russia, which makes it more difficult to track them down."

"After all, the area covered by eastern Russia is too large and the population is small. If the Russian Labor Party wants to hide a few people in the east, it will be difficult to be discovered."

Crown Prince Alexei and his friends were obviously convinced by Ernst's words. "Thank you, Your Majesty, and your people for your efforts in finding my father. If my father and family can be found in the future, I believe they will also be grateful for your help," said Crown Prince Alexei gratefully.

After this life experience, Alexei has obviously matured a lot.

Ernst asked, "Have you had any contact with anyone from Russia recently?"

In fact, Alexei and his companions were under constant surveillance in East Africa. Of course, this kind of surveillance was obviously not easy to be noticed, so Ernst asked this question to avoid suspicion.

Alexei said honestly: "In addition to Uncle Baranov, there are also some Russians who came to East Africa and met with us, but most of them are people from the original government."

This is a perfectly normal thing. With the disappearance of Nicholas II, the Russian nobles had no choice but to look for Alexei as their leader.

The news that Alexei was in East Africa was basically common knowledge. After all, Alexei and his entourage's visit to East Africa was an open event in Russia.

However, the Russians at that time obviously would not have thought of the sudden change in the domestic situation in Russia, which resulted in Alexei becoming the lifeline of the Russian nobles and old government officials.

Ernst asked, "Do you have any plans to re-establish the Russian government?"

The government mentioned here naturally refers to the government in exile. It is quite common to organize a government in exile in Europe.

Alexei was somewhat tempted by this, but it was not because he was greedy for power or wanted to restore the Tsarist Russian regime.

Instead, he wanted to concentrate all available resources to rescue his loved ones first, and then consider other things.

So, Alexei asked: "Your Majesty, is your government willing to help those of us who have been stranded in East Africa?"

Ernst said: "Of course, we support you in organizing a new Russian government and call on other forces in Russia to counterattack the Russian Labor Party."

"From the time the Russian Labor Party seized power until now, the Russian revolution has not only not been quelled, but has intensified. According to the information we have obtained, the Russian Labor Party has now almost consolidated Russia's position in the core areas of Europe."

"If we allow them to continue, Russia may really be doomed. Although the forces in Russia appear to be strong, they have been like headless flies since your father was imprisoned. They pose no threat to the Russian Labor Party."

"So at this time, if we want to avoid being defeated one by one by the Russian Labor Party, someone must stand up and unite the Russians. Only Nicholas II can do this, but he is missing. So there is no better choice than you to make use of his role."

After listening to Ernst's analysis, Alexei felt very heavy. It could be said that the activities of the Russian Labor Party in Russia were like wildfire. The seemingly powerful reactionary forces could not stand the test at all, otherwise, the situation in Russia would not have "deteriorated" to such an extent.

After thinking for a while, Alexei said to Ernst: "Your Majesty, please help us restore order in Russia."

Ernst nodded and said, "Of course. What Russia lacks most right now is a leader. Many Russian nobles have fled to East Africa. We can help you gather them over. You can select some trustworthy people to form a new Russian government."

"At the same time, you should consider which city to temporarily set up the government. Regardless of whether it is a city on the east or west coast of our country, each city has its own advantages and disadvantages. It can help you establish contact with the country, so as to command those who are loyal to the Tsar in Russia and fight against the Labor Party."
