"Karl, if you are interested in supporting the future construction of the northern railway, I have a method that serves two purposes. Not only can it avoid delaying other projects in East Africa, but it can also allow the extension of the northern railway to start ahead of schedule, to connect East Africa with the Chad colony as soon as possible and contribute to the colonial endeavors of the Sigmaringen family," Ernst said.
Prince Karl was indeed intrigued and asked, "I wonder what method you have?"
Ernst replied openly without embarrassment, "Karl, you know that railway construction is not really difficult; it's just a matter of money. Just like before in the United States and Germany, capitalists were madly building railways, with a large influx of hot money, causing the railways in these two countries to grow rapidly every year, which eventually led to the economic crisis of 1873."
