Chapter 877 Cooperative Education

The hard days of Jiaozhou sailors are still to come! Because according to the resolution of the East African government, or Ernst's decision, this time the East African instructors will continue to train these Far Eastern Empire sailors for more than a year, and the training will be completely simulated in a war mode, which will last until May next year.

Because according to the original history, Japan invaded Korea in June next year, and Korea will inevitably ask its suzerain for help later.

Of course, history is not immutable, and it is hard to say whether the Far Eastern Empire will have this disaster. If a strong man is sent or if they are lucky, they may be able to stop Japan's first wave of offensive.

Yes, it is the first wave of offensive. According to Ernst's understanding of the Japanese, "small" setbacks are completely surmountable for their ambitions, just like if there were no atomic bombs in the previous life, they might have to invade Edo and capture the Japanese emperor alive to make them surrender reluctantly.

Ernst did this not entirely out of personal selfishness. To safeguard the independence of the Far East Empire is also to safeguard East Africa's interests in the Far East. For example, the current Jiaozhou, after East Africa's promotion, has developed economically 30 years earlier than in the previous life. Countries such as Britain, Germany, Japan, and the United States are very jealous of Jiaozhou.

The problem is that this cake is 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, East Africa developed Jiaozhou under the banner of the two countries. At that time, East Africa was still the "African Chieftain" in the eyes of the previous emperor of the Far East Empire.

...

Dar es Salaam.

Today, the eastern district of Dar es Salaam is particularly lively. After the University of Dar es Salaam, the second higher education institution registered by the Ministry of Education in Dar es Salaam was established.

Many important officials from the Dar es Salaam Municipal Government and the Central Provincial Government participated in the celebration.

"Inauguration Ceremony of Dar es Salaam Polytechnic."

A red banner with white markings was hung on the gate of an "East African" style university. The reason why it is called the "East African" style university gate is that East African universities are different from many mainstream schools in the world today.

In the eyes of many people, East African higher education institutions are just like East Africa's transportation planning, with some "serious" waste and a rather strange style.

This is naturally Ernst's masterpiece. After all, as a civil engineer, Ernst's ability to copy is still good. He borrowed a lot of characteristics of the 21st century Oriental campus. If not 100% similar, then 99% are the same, including this rather "grand" and industrial minimalist style university gate.

This kind of architectural style, which Ernst was used to seeing in his previous life and even had some visual fatigue, had an unexpected effect in the 19th century, especially among a bunch of European-style buildings.

At this time, Constantine was chatting with a 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 of Prince of Hechingen, Ernst's grandfather, funded Stuttgart's education.

Now it has finally turned around, and it has become Stuttgart that supports East African higher education. Of course, this must have been coordinated by "Berlin". After all, Germany's higher education resources are also limited, and East Africa is a "remote and poor place". Without the promotion of the German government, this kind of thing is really difficult to accomplish.

This time, the Dar es Salaam Polytechnic Institute was supported and built by the Stuttgart Joint Technical Industrial School. Of course, since 1876, it has been renamed Stuttgart Higher Technical College.

Of course, in the 21st century, he had a more famous name - the University of Stuttgart, which is one of the members of the TU9 alliance of nine excellent technical universities in Germany. Together with Aachen University of Technology, Berlin University of Technology, Munich University of Technology, Darmstadt University of Technology, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, it is considered to be the six most prestigious technical universities in Germany.

The Stuttgart Joint Institute of Technology was founded in 1829. In more than 30 years, it will also be a "century-old famous school".

Therefore, the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology, which was mainly built with the assistance of this school, also made it easier for the East African government to introduce the German higher education system.

For Constantine, the East African king who is also famous in Stuttgart, Wagri has long known about it. 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 the existence of the Principality of Hechingen. This is even more true after East Africa became a world power. After all, it is also a "big man" from the vicinity of Stuttgart.

"Your Majesty, after arriving in Dar es Salaam, I feel a sense of familiarity. There are some styles similar to Stuttgart here."

Wagley was not complimenting, but speaking in a matter-of-fact manner. This was inevitable. The Hechingen royal family came from the Principality of Hechingen near Stuttgart, so the East African Kingdom has a strong "South German style" or more accurately, "Swabian style".

Hearing his evaluation, Constantine was very happy. Although he had been 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 our East Africa. Although East Africa was established a short time ago, it is frankly said that Dar es Salaam ranks well in the world in all fields, and the only mismatch is the higher education situation in Dar es Salaam."

Constantine continued: "Cities like Berlin, London, Vienna, Paris, etc. are all full of colleges and universities, while Dar es Salaam only had one university before, and it has not been built for a few 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 city size. "Small cities" like Stuttgart have several colleges and universities.

Of course, this "small city" is relative to Dar es Salaam. Dar es Salaam should be at the same level as Munich and other cities in Germany.

Moreover, the higher education resources in Dar es Salaam are actually concentrated in the neighboring "Soga City", including the top East African Power University in East Africa, which is located in Soga City, and there are a lot of schools and research institutes.

Soga is only a dozen kilometers away from Dar es Salaam. As a result, as long as Dar es Salaam expands slowly, it will inevitably border Soga in the future.

Not to mention Soga, even the distance to the First Town is also possible. After all, Ernst will move the capital in the future. After the First Town loses its political function, it will definitely be integrated 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 to run schools.

East Africa has already trained many college students, but there are not many who can stand on their own, and these top talents are also divided up by 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.
