Chapter 478

Ernst shook his head and said: "No, we still have to fight, because we also need to take this opportunity to adjust the territory of East Africa. Not to mention Angola, Mozambique's position is too unfriendly to us."

Constantine: "Then what are you going to do?"

Ernst: "Fight steadily and steadily, not using too much force, but also to keep winning. It is best to give the Portuguese hope of victory, but there is just a little illusion."

This confused Constantine: "Why not just take over the Portuguese colonies? We should be able to do it in one step, right?"

Ernst: "It is indeed tempting to swallow up these two colonies in one go, but we have to consider the thoughts of the international community. If East Africa performs too well, I am afraid France may end up personally."

If East Africa is too powerful, it may not be good news for countries with interests in Africa. What if East Africa really unifies the African continent?

Constantine nodded and said: "If that's the case, it makes sense, but what do you plan to do with Portugal?"

Ernst: "We will take over some areas from Mozambique and Angola, but we will not completely destroy the two colonies and leave some opportunities for them. Of course, the premise is that the British can bear it."

"how do I say this?"

Ernst: "If the British do not directly participate in the war, then we will not completely annex the Portuguese colonies. If the British participate in the war, then after the war is over, we will annex two colonies. The British are the big fish. We must find a way to The British fished it out."

 "What does this have to do with the Portuguese colonies?"

Ernst: "If there is a war between Portugal and East Africa, the process and result of the war will be the bait. If you want the British to take the bait, the bait must be attractive. This is why I do not demand that Portugal be crippled in a war, and the British will end up there." , they also need preparation time. Based on Cape Town alone, they have no idea, so they are likely to save the Portuguese, and we cannot be beaten for nothing. Portugal must pay the price and lose half of its colonies. , I think it is reasonable. Portugal, the remaining colony, will definitely not be reconciled and will regroup its strength, and the British are also confident because of the war process that if they can fight in East Africa, we will use our full strength."

Constantine: "What if the two countries don't follow your script?"

Ernst: "That doesn't matter. Anyway, these two fat pieces of Portugal are right on our lips. We can eat them whenever we want. My purpose is still to focus on the British. Just like the American War of Independence, East Africa also needs this." A victory to completely consolidate East Africa's national identity and international status."

 So East Africa cannot scare the British. What if the British don't dare to come directly? And even if we look at it head on, if East Africa had done too well before, I'm afraid the British would pay more attention to it. The serious British are not joking. Ernst still hopes that the British will treat East Africa with the same attitude towards Afghanistan and the Boers in their previous lives.

But these are just conjectures. It is still unknown whether the Portuguese have the courage, and it seems that nothing can be done in East Africa until the Portuguese make a decision.
