African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 359 Don't leave when you come!

When Zimbabwe was preparing for war, the Central Government of the Kingdom received the Far East Aid Mission, and Constantine met with the members of the Aid Mission in person.

Li Ge: "...The Far East government, under the emperor's instruction, sent envoys Li Ge and Ander as the chief and deputy envoys to respect Your Majesty King Antai."

After listening to his self-introduction for a long time, Constantine figured out that Li Ge and Ander were not doctors, but officials of the Far East Empire, and only the one hundred and three people behind them were doctors in the Far East.

Constantine immediately had an idea in his mind: "It is a good thing that your country cares about the development of medical services in East Africa. In this case, we have to express it. Although your country has diplomatic relations with our country, it has never established an embassy in our country. , this is not equitable internationally, it is better for you two to be stationed in East Africa as envoys of the Qing Dynasty, responsible for liaison between the two countries on diplomatic matters."

Constantine's words directly frightened Li Ge and Ander. Constantine, the "King of Foreign Countries", wanted their lives!

When Li Ge and Ander went to East Africa, they were cast aside by some people as: "If you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts, why go to the country of your parents." This is the general attitude of Far East bureaucrats, otherwise Li Ge would not be allowed He and Ander, who are not even official officials, came to East Africa as alternates. Historically, the Qing government did not officially send diplomatic envoys to Western countries until the first year of Guangxu (1875).

Li Ge and Ander were low-key, so naturally they couldn't go against the opinions of their superiors, but the moment they went to East Africa, it meant that they would completely cut off their official careers in the future.

Now that Constantine directly appointed them as the ambassadors of the Far East to East Africa, this matter was going to be reported back to the country, and Lige Ande had a premonition that the title of traitor would fall on the two of them.

Not to mention this matter, if Constantine, a foreign monarch, bypassed the Qing government and directly appointed the two of them as ambassadors to the Far East, then the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would let them go!

Li Ge and Ander hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty King Constantine, this matter must never happen!"

Constantine: "Oh! Why?"

Li Ge said with a mournful face: "The two of us were originally officials in the Far East, and there was a gentleman. Where is Tianyan, I am afraid that I will have no words to face the elders in my hometown, and the only way to show my ambition with death is to refuse to be an official."

Li Gewen talked a lot, and it took a long time for East African translators to figure out the general meaning.

It was only then that Constantine realized that he had misunderstood this matter. The Far Eastern scholar-bureaucrats were prevalent in Confucianism, which was very different from the thinking of Westerners.

Constantine said: "You two don't need to do this. What I mean is that our country negotiates with the emperor of your country and asks him to agree to send diplomats in East Africa. If the emperor of your country agrees, there is a high probability that you two can undertake this matter. If your country If the emperor of the country disagrees, then treat it as if I didn’t say anything.”

Don’t look at the formality of the Kingdom of East Africa in Europe when it was founded. In fact, no country has set up an embassy in East Africa. In the eyes of Britain, France and other countries, the so-called Kingdom of East Africa is a colony established overseas by members of the Prussian royal family (German royal family). Huo It's just a little trick of the Hensolen family. Who would send diplomats to establish embassies in the colonies!

Especially when the East African Kingdom was established, Prussia was just a small Prussian kingdom. The so-called East African Kingdom was in poor image in the eyes of outsiders, and its status was not even as good as the Mozambique colony next door to Portugal. Mozambique had a history of hundreds of years, and the East African Kingdom was only a year old. Less than (not including the colonial period), it doesn’t look like a serious country, at most it’s bullying African indigenous people who don’t have hot weapons.

Not to mention countries such as Britain and France, even Austria and Prussia, which have the best relations with East Africa, don’t take East Africa seriously. The Austrian and Prussian governments really looked down on the East African Kingdom at all.

Even the status of Prince Constantine Hexingen is more valuable than the status of the so-called king of the East African Kingdom. Although the Prince of Hexingen is small, it is indeed a serious European vassal state, which is also recognized by European nobles. It is the same as the status of the Indian emperor of the British king in the future, but it is just a show. If others mention the British king, Europeans will be in awe, but the Indian emperor will make people laugh.

For example, Archduke Ferdinand, who was the commander-in-chief of the East African Navy at the time, is still a laughingstock in Austria. It’s just that everyone doesn’t talk about it because of His Majesty’s face. Franz also has no face, but his brother went to East Africa to retire. It’s better In the past, the broken place in Mexico was strong.

In fact, ever since they learned that His Majesty the Emperor was not dead, the Mexican royalists have been to Austria to pray for Ferdinand to come out of the mountain again, and at the end they want to set up a government in exile. Everyone can earn some allowances in Austria anyway. Ci certainly does not agree, the two harms are the lesser, and Ferdinand stayed in East Africa very well, and he can go home through the Suez Canal from time to time, so it is not a bad thing to let Ferdinand stay in East Africa. Ferdinand is going to make a career in East Africa, and everyone will just enjoy it.

Ferdinand: Don't bully the middle-aged and the poor!
The development of the East African navy is still very fast, except that it is a pity that there is no ironclad ship, but this year there will be two new steam-powered warships built by the Bagamoyo shipyard, plus the two rebuilt warships of the Sultanate of Zanzibar , By next year Ferdinand will have eight steam-powered sailing warships.

All in all, East Africa is really a diplomatic desert nowadays. There are many embassies established unilaterally, but they are not very useful. Sometimes it is not as effective as Hechingen Bank.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the Kingdom of East Africa was established for too short a time, but it is not that no country intends to set up an embassy in East Africa.

This country is Paraguay, which was tortured by Ernst. After the baptism of war, Paraguay was completely in ruins. Coupled with the large loss of population, it was difficult to maintain the stability of the government, and the Paraguay government was next to Argentina. This made the Paraguayan government even more worried. Paraguay and Argentina came from the La Plata colony of Spain. The same origin is the most suspicious. Brazil just wants to beat itself, and Argentina is really likely to annex itself.

Therefore, Paraguay urgently needs to find an international backer. In addition, East African immigrants in Paraguay have been caught. With the contact of East Africa, Paraguay has taken a fancy to the Austro-Hungarian Empire behind East Africa.

Although the Kingdom of East Africa is not of much use in the middle, the contact person is not, so the Paraguay government intends to set up an embassy in East Africa, but the Paraguay embassy has not yet been completed, mainly because the Paraguay government has not yet selected diplomats.

As for who will set up the first embassy in East Africa from Paraguay or the Far East, it depends on who is active. Anyway, the current East African kingdom is not in a hurry. It is a good thing that no one pays attention to East Africa. That's probably because the weasel gave the chicken New Year's greetings, with no good intentions.

In fact, there is one country that really wants to set up an embassy in East Africa, but East Africa has not agreed, and that is the Sultanate of Zanzibar. Don’t you know who you are?From the perspective of East Africa, being able to set up an embassy in Stone Town (the capital of the Sultanate of Zanzibar) is considered to be a favor to the Sultanate of Zanzibar. The Sultanate of Zanzibar is to the East African Kingdom what Japan was to the United States in the previous life. In terms of business, I'll take care of you, so I can rest assured. If I don't, I'll be dead.

Hearing Constantine's arrangement, Li Ge and Ander's hanging hearts were slightly relieved, but their hearts were still extremely bitter. Constantine would definitely mention the two of them when negotiating with the Far East government, even if the Far East ambassador really If it fell on the two of them, the future would probably be gloomy. They might as well vote for this East Africa and take over their family members from the Far East. They are also afraid that their family members will be gossiped about in the Far East.

Li Ge and Ande were born in poverty, with little background and not many family members. Being successful in the imperial examination was a sign of smoke coming out of their ancestral graves. As a result, they were sent to the barbaric land of East Africa before they could enjoy anything.

Constantine didn't know that the decision he made casually made the two of them feel like they were sitting on pins and needles. In fact, Constantine just wanted to separate Li Ge and Ander from those Far East doctors. It's not okay to let them manage it. The doctors are from East Africa.

So Constantine said: "This matter is settled like this. I will write a letter to your monarch in person later, and I will praise you both. Alas, the Far East really deserves to be an ancient country with a long civilization. Loyal to the monarch, I think it will be vigorously promoted in East Africa in the future."

This is the truth of Constantine. In such a big place in Europe, there are so many countries. If there are ministers who are dissatisfied with the monarch, they will really jump to the enemy camp. Look at the subordinates of the Eastern monarch, and even die to save it. For the face of its own monarch, the Kingdom of East Africa, as an autocratic monarchy, naturally wants such "loyal and patriotic" people.

In fact, the time of civilization in Europe is too short. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Far East, talents also fled from country to country.

Constantine went on to say: "The Ministry of Health does a good job in reception. These Far Eastern doctors should come up with a plan to make them feel like they are at home in East Africa, and promote the development of East African medical care."

Minister of Health Bell Ryder understood: "Yes, Your Majesty, we happen to lack a lot of deans who can act on their own, and we can arrange for these doctors to take office."

The doctors in the Far East couldn't understand the conversation between the two, and they didn't know that their group of people had been regarded as their own by the East African Kingdom. There was no such thing as a free clinic. They were all doctors from East Africa, and they would always serve as the East African Kingdom. China's medical career shines.

As for their family members in the Far East, it is not a big problem. Naturally, someone will arrange for them to reunite in East Africa in the future. If you come to East Africa, you can't help but leave.
