Chapter 188： West Palace

Chapter 188 West Palace

"Since you have made up your mind, I will naturally not persuade you anymore, but if there is anything to do over there, you should send us a message as soon as possible. I will take care of you on the German side." Prince Karl Anton said.

"Thank you, Karl." Constantine thanked.

"Huh, we have been playing together since we were young. The two families can say that we share weal and woe, and they have always maintained the same strategy. To be honest, now that Carl is promising and has become the king of Romania, Leopold has no chance of taking the Spanish throne." Little, I am afraid that this Sigmaringen will really make a fortune here in the future.

Although Ernst is still young, he also has a large career. The young people have gone out. In the future, Hechingen and Sigmaringen will eventually become a place name in Prussia as we grow old. "Prince Karl Anton said with emotion.

"Yes! Hechingen and Sigmaringen are still too small for young people, and Europe is their stage in the future." Konstantin said.

…

The first town, the city center.

The reserved square has become a construction site. Because of his excellent performance in the reconstruction project of Dar es Salaam Port, Fisher was transferred from Dar es Salaam to work in the first town by the government of the first town.

At this time, Fisher was directing the construction of workers in the central square of the first town.

Since the establishment of the Central District, the First Town has for the first time clarified its status as the political center of the royal family territory in East Africa in the official documents of East Africa.

Therefore, a large number of East African government agencies were established here, and the first town was able to become a political center, enjoying its reputation as the first colony in East Africa.

However, Ernst also had his own considerations for placing the political center of East Africa here. Relatively speaking, Dar es Salaam has a better traffic location. The former capital of German East Africa was Dar es Salaam, which is convenient for other The connection with the local area is strengthened, and with the convenience of sea transportation, the development potential is also high.

However, the real Hechingen already belongs to Prussia, and the ice and snow land in Alaska is still idle, and the East African colony built by Ernst is the mainland of Hexingen.

Dar es Salaam is off the coast, but there is no navy in East Africa. At present, there is only an offshore defense system composed of artillery.

That is to say, although the enemy can be prevented from docking, the enemy's naval guns can also hit Dar es Salaam.

Looking at it this way, the location of the first town is still good. It is a distance from the sea, and it is safe and secure. The strength of East Africa on the sea is weak, and the land is the home field of East Africa. The first town connects Dar es Salaam and Bagamo at the same time. About two ports, the traffic is not too bad.

"We have to complete the main body of the building within one month. Your Highness attaches great importance to this matter. Don't be careless and procrastinate." Fisher said to the workers.

"Mr. Fisher, is this His Highness coming to East Africa in person?" A worker asked.

Fisher shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It's just that the documents say that important figures of the royal family will live here, so they have to work overtime to complete the construction of the palace."

"Mr. Fisher, do all your European kings live in palaces like this? I have never seen such a luxurious building in my life. It occupies such a large area, and it also needs to be carved with flowers and matched with the so-called fountain. And the garden..." asked a Far Eastern immigrant.

"A palace! I have seen it before. My hometown is Stuttgart, the capital of the Kingdom of Württemberg. The residences of the rich and dignitaries there are very luxurious. Compared with the first town, Stuttgart is much bigger. However, the palace is some distance away from the city.

I was fortunate to follow an old architect to the palace for repair work. The so-called palace we built now is completely insignificant compared with the Württemberg Palace, and it is better than those buildings in the urban area. ’” Fisher recalled.

Ernst’s temporary residence planned in the First Town naturally cannot be compared with Ludwigsburg, the palace of the King of Württemberg. The First Town itself is not large in East Africa, but small and exquisite, and its administrative role is far greater than the economy.

Moreover, the first town is now the capital of East Africa, and the future is uncertain, because the current territory of East Africa is still changing, and Ernst does not know how far East Africa can develop in the future, so the status of the capital of the first town is not stable.

Here, it is obviously not cost-effective to spend a lot of money to build a palace, but for the sake of the royal family of Hexingen, it must not be too shabby.

"Ah! Mr. Fisher, according to you, the residence of Prince Constantine and His Royal Highness Ernst is no better than the palace of the so-called Kingdom of Württemberg?"

Colonial immigrants all know Hechingen and their hometown, so they have no concept of Württemberg where Fisher is located.

So that some people couldn't believe it when they heard that the palace of Württemberg was bigger and more luxurious than the palace built by myself and others for the royal family of Hexingen.

In their eyes, East Africa is already a very powerful and wealthy region that they have seen. The Hexingen royal family must also be synonymous with strength and perfection, because the entire East Africa belongs to the Hexingen royal family.

"That's not true. In fact, I heard from my colleagues that the palace in Hechingen is called Hohenzollern Castle. During the overhaul a few years ago, my colleagues were fortunate enough to participate. The Hohenzollern Castle is among the best in Europe. It is said to be one of the symbols of the entire Hohenzollern family." Fisher said.

"How does that compare to that palace in Württemberg?" the worker asked simply.

"It is definitely not comparable to the palace of Württemberg, at least in terms of status, because the most powerful family in Germany is the Hohenzollern family, and the Hechingen royal family belongs to the Hohenzollern family. "Fisher didn't want to destroy the illusion of an immigrant's mind.

There may be some differences between Ludwigsburg and Hohenzollern Castle, but they are not big. It can only be said that each has its own advantages, but many immigrants are grateful to the royal family of Hechingen.

In the eyes of most immigrants, Ernst is like a savior, especially those immigrants who wander between **** and the world. It can be said that Ernst's development of East Africa gave them a way to survive.

"I'll just say it! The Hexingen royal family is so kind and benevolent, so they should be rewarded. Their family should be the first family of Germany." An immigrant said.

"However, Mr. Fisher, why don't Prince Constantine and His Royal Highness Ernst build a big castle in the first town, and it doesn't need to be too big. I think you can refer to the Hohenzollern Castle you mentioned. This so-called The Palace of West is not worthy of the royal family of Hechingen in my opinion." A worker said to Fisher.

Fisher almost didn't hold back!

What is "just do it"? Although the West Palace is a little smaller than those big palaces in Europe, it is definitely a ceiling in the whole of East Africa, directly surpassing the original Zanzibar Palace in Dar es Salaam. Some small countries have larger palaces.

Immigrants from East Africa dare to think about it, but most of these workers are temporarily transferred from farmers, and they have no culture and knowledge. It is understandable to say these words.

So, Fisher explained: "This palace! The bigger the better, especially the royal family of Hexingen. Do you think there is such a big palace in the German region? What good things haven't you seen? It's like you don't often Did you say that your former emperor used a gold **** to dig the ground! Gold must be too common for the emperor.

The royal family of Hexingen might be the same way. They lived in a big palace and wanted to build a smaller one. Is this the reason? "

Fisher tried his best to explain to these immigrants in easy-to-understand words. In fact, Ernst also wanted to build a bigger one, but the problem was that he had no money. If he had sufficient funds, he would definitely build a bigger one. On the one hand, Ernst has never treated himself badly, especially this newly planned West Palace may be the foothold of the royal family of Hechingen for a period of time in the future.
