East Africa's Strategic Objectives

After all, the East African government and the Hohenzollern Conglomerate belonged to two different systems. Ernst's construction of "bogus" universities was not something that could be publicized, so the uninformed East African government had fallen for it.

Of course, Ernst's university fraud had been exceedingly convincing, with every kind of "official" procedure in place, leading to the absurd spectacle of floodwaters washing over the Dragon King's temple.

After some thought, Ernst said, "Later, I'll have people in Europe screen the list of schools first. Then you can send people over to inspect them, to prevent our students from being 'scammed.'"

East African overseas students were fortunate, because the East African government had paved the way for them. This was also connected to the Hechingen Royal Family's network of connections. Probably only the Hohenzollern Conglomerate could swindle East Africa.

Of course, although the Hohenzollern Conglomerate had established dozens of bogus universities, it had also done some "proper work." For instance, the Hechingen-affiliated schools serving as East Africa's talent-training base were managed by the Hohenzollern Conglomerate.

That was to say, the cluster of schools Ernst had left behind in the Principality of Hechingen in Prussia's Hohenzollern Province, including the former site of Hechingen Military Academy, had now all become important bases for East African international students.

Their greatest difference from those bogus schools was that the land beneath them genuinely belonged to the Hechingen Royal Family, while their teachers had been hired from across Europe. More than five hundred international students studied there every year.

Of course, besides international students, there were also the "orphanage"-style schools Ernst had established back then. Every year, they directly supported German orphans through their studies. These were also among East Africa's finest immigrants; after completing their education in Germany, they would all head directly to East
