Chapter 516 Patriotic Education

“You did a good job this time and successfully brought the conflict between Britain and Afghanistan forward. This is beneficial to us. The meritorious personnel of this operation will be strictly implemented in accordance with the reward and punishment system. Of course, I will personally give you some additional bonuses. .”

Ernst commended the agents who instigated the operation in Afghanistan at the Qewett Palace. At the same time, the agents who received the rewards felt quite comfortable.

“We will continue to work hard in the future. Of course, we must not be too proud. We must correct the deficiencies in this operation and accumulate richer experience for the future.”

 “Yes, Your Highness!”

 After the commendation meeting, Ernst began to focus on the water conservancy construction work in East Africa. This is a large-scale national project that mobilizes millions of people, so mistakes must be prevented.

Now Ernst is trapped in this national project, and he cannot get out of it in a short time until it is on the right track.

 …

 Mbeya City.

 Mbeya was very dry in February. Students from Mbeya Secondary School participated in regular practical courses organized by the school.

It’s just that instead of sitting in the classroom and listening to the teacher’s lectures, they work on the farms arranged by the government.

Yarke, the head teacher of Grade 3 and Grade 4, took the whole class to live in the workers’ dormitory of the Third State Farm in Mbeya City.

After allocating accommodation, Yark said to the whole class: “Today’s practical course will be led by the experienced Uncle Cade. In the next week, he will teach everyone about the precautions required for farming. You must study the matters carefully…”

As Yark finished his speech, the students burst into applause to welcome Cade, the leader of the practical activity farm.

Kaide did not show any timidity when facing these students. He stood in front of the students and introduced himself generously: “I am the person in charge of the third state-owned farm. I am very happy to exchange and learn with young people like you here, because you This is not the first batch of students I have taught. Every year I welcome students from the No. 2 Middle School to our farm to participate in practical activities, so you don’t have to be restrained and you can ask me directly if you have any questions.”

Each class has a few thorns in its side, and Class 4 of Grade 3 is no exception. As soon as Cade finished speaking, someone asked the class teacher:

“Teacher, there’s no need to teach you about farming! We all know how to do this. When we are at home, we often help the family with farm work.”

“Student Roald, this is an activity organized by the school, and it is also an arrangement of the government. It is the task of the National Practical Middle School. It does not mean that you don’t have to come if you know how to do it. The theme of this activity is hard work and practice. In essence, It is to allow everyone to better experience the hardships and fun of work, and at the same time accumulate your life experience.”

Practical middle schools mainly cultivate students’ practical and hands-on abilities, while liberal arts middle schools pay more attention to cultural literacy. However, liberal arts middle schools cannot avoid practical courses, but they have few opportunities.

At this time, Cade also interjected: “Of course, we have also considered the purpose of exposing you to new experiences and new things. As a government industry, the third state-owned farm has relatively considerable investment, and it also represents relatively advanced productivity, so it can be extremely Broaden your horizons greatly.”

  Mbeya City’s Third State Farm, as a state-owned enterprise, has much higher investment than ordinary farms. It is basically on par with Western countries and has introduced advanced production technology and experience.

However, East African farms are also lagging behind, and that is the large-scale use of black slaves, which is unavoidable. For example, for work such as cotton picking, using black slaves is the best choice. After Cade said that, he took the students from Class 3 and Class 4 to visit the farm. Not to mention other things, the state-owned farm covers a large area and not only grows a single crop, but also has its own pasture and processing workshop. , if you build a castle again, it will be almost the same as a medieval manor in Europe.

  Many black workers work here. As the targets of exploitation in East Africa, black workers are naturally treated very poorly. However, the new generation who grew up in East Africa have long been accustomed to this kind of slavery.

  It was only the year before last that Mbeya City implemented the policy of replacing black labor with livestock, and black labor in small and medium-sized farms was replaced. However, there are still many black labor in large farms and mines.

He pointed his finger at the black slaves who were working on a large scale and said: “Your fathers were forced to come to East Africa under difficult survival conditions, just like me. The world is more cruel. I don’t say that East Africa is more cruel.” Other countries are strong, but it is definitely a good place, so you must also contribute to East Africa in the future to avoid the decline of the country in the future, otherwise these people will learn from the past.”

Cade’s words are cruel, and the plight of black people is worthy of sympathy, but for these teenagers, it does not have much impact. After all, black slaves are so common in this country in East Africa that they may naturally think that This is reasonable.

However, the experience of black workers also planted a seed in their hearts, that is, those who are backward will be beaten. If East Africa declines, then some people may become the enslavement objects of others like these black people.

The reason why we say there are some people, according to Ernst’s understanding, is that there are also smart people among the exploiters, who will divide the exploited. The bottom ones must be the exploited in the traditional sense, and the bribed people, although they are the ones at the top, One level exploits, but they can exploit the next level themselves.

 This is the pyramid structure of human society. Pyramids also exist in East Africa, with the royal family of Hechingen at the top, then the nobility and bureaucrats, and finally the citizens of East Africa, and finally the black slaves of East Africa.

As for the black people working in the fields, they are completely unaware that they are being used as patriotic material by East Africa. They just finish their work numbly, which is also a good thing for them. Sometimes the more knowledge and insight, the more troubles they have.

If people in the 21st century were to fall into the situation of black slaves, they might collapse, but these black people are somewhat “happy” because East Africa has given them a stable environment, and their lives are better than before when they were precarious.

The only regret may be that basic physiological needs cannot be met. The task of curbing the growth of the black population has caused a serious imbalance in the male-to-female ratio of black people in East Africa. Basically, there are no black women in eastern and central East Africa, while there are a small number of black women in the west and south.

But physiological needs, this can be tolerated. East Africa only needs a few years of youth for the two or three generations of black people before they can be freed, so just tolerate it for a few years. When the United States is free, you can do whatever you want, anyway. The United States has officially abolished black slavery.

At present, East Africa also needs these black people to contribute to the development of East Africa. If it were not for the existence of black labor, the projects Ernst built in East Africa would be difficult to complete, and it is very likely to fall into the same situation as Latin America.

This unique “patriotism” education class is very simple and crude. It is to show the living conditions of the oppressed groups in East Africa and to establish ideas for the young generation of East Africa.

As for whether they will be affected, the effect is actually very clear. As native East Africans, the new generation of young people have their own concerns. From their standpoint, the land under their feet was taken from the hands of black people by their fathers. They were snatched from it, so they naturally wanted to side with East Africa.

As for Ernst, the culprit, he actually has no burden in his heart. He has no self and is also taking advantage of other European colonists. Therefore, it is better for him to be the villain himself. And although Ernst says he is not a good person, he has a bottom line in his heart and will not Carry out massacres at will.
