Angolan Inheritance Succession (Continued)

Besides taking over Luanda City, East Africa had already begun a new wave of population migration. When it came to securing control over Angola, nothing was more reassuring than immigration.

Of course, this was also to receive the Portuguese legacy and avoid wasting resources. Although the Portuguese Government had been driven out, production in Angola still had to continue.

Angola differed greatly from the regions East Africa had occupied before. Under Portuguese rule, though it had not been particularly developed, its agricultural conditions were not poor, and East Africa could not simply leave the vast plantations unattended.

After all, in the pre-mechanized age, reclaiming virgin land was no easy task. East Africa understood this deeply; it had taken more than twenty years to build the nation's agriculture to its current scale, consuming enormous amounts of time and labor.

Now, however, Angola came with vast plantations ready to be taken for free. That was far easier than East Africa reclaiming new land from scratch.

The Portuguese accumulation over several centuries was no trifling sum. Especially in the more developed areas along the western coast, East Africa could simply take over the magpie's nest and settle large numbers of people there.

This was extremely important to Ernst. It concerned East Africa's future industrial layout and would play a vital role in opening up trade across the country and invigorating the central economy.

Although the Central Three Provinces were rich in resources, inland development being constrained was a common affliction among many countries. After all, this was the age of the sea, and maritime transport was the primary means of trade.

If inland regions wanted to compare with coastal areas, the most effective method was to activate inland waterway networks. Just as the Yangtze River of the Far East Empire could carry coastal
