"It's acceptable to aid the Orange people, but we should not rush to them. Instead, we need to negotiate terms with them. Of course, considering the industries the Orange people are involved in, we could engage in symbolic cooperation in agriculture and animal husbandry," Ernst said to Constantine.
"You're right. The Orange people are now trapped inland and have offended the British, so they're unable to establish contact with the outside world. Certainly, their trade is impacted, and we are the only ones who can offer them relevant assistance," Constantine agreed.
This might be the tragedy of landlocked countries. Ernst thus thought of the Abyssinian Empire in the north, which, just like in the previous life, remains a landlocked country.
Abyssinia's three neighbors—Italy and Egypt—have poor relations with the Abyssinian Empire, so its trade can only be completed through cooperation with East Africa.
