Ernst said, "The development of Angola and Mozambique is an urgent matter, but we now face a shortage of population. At the same time, public security management in both places has not been completely brought under control. Large numbers of black people scattered everywhere during the war, and the poor infrastructure further complicates matters. The government should lay out a clear plan for developing both regions. How they are to be utilized and developed, and how resources are to be allocated, are all important questions."
After Angola and Mozambique were seized, their economic construction was no longer a regional issue, but a nationwide matter of resource allocation.
Simply put, East Africa's investment in every region had always been uneven. In the 1870s and 1880s, East Africa had focused its efforts on developing the eastern coastal regions. During the 1880s, it had vigorously developed the central provinces, especially Matabele Province. Now that Ernst had set the tone, the priority of economic development naturally shifted to Angola and Mozambique.
Von der Leyen said, "Several of the central provinces actually still have enormous development potential. Take Hohenzollern Province, for instance. Its forest coverage reaches seventy percent, and vast areas remain undeveloped. Matabele Province, with its typical grassland climate, is actually in somewhat better shape. However, developing Mozambique will certainly benefit the central regions, especially Matabele Province. Matabele Province's weakness is that it has no coastline. Once Mozambique is developed, it can further invigorate Matabele Province's economy while linking our central and eastern regions into one whole."
Svit countered, "The problem now is how we can invest so much population. In the 1870s and 1880s, East Africa absorbed large numbers of immigrants, allowing the eastern and central regions to develop at breakneck speed. But by the end of the 1880s, the number
