The advantage of East Africa lies in having constructed the most powerful inland railway network in Africa, which has already extended into Southern Germany, Darfur, Abyssinia, and other countries and regions.
Moreover, these railways are currently the routes with the lowest costs for foreign trade and exchange in these countries and regions.
Unless they can, with their country as the core, build railways from inland to the coast, the Southern German Kingdom might have a possibility, but the Abyssinia Empire is completely a landlocked country. Darfur is also surrounded by Egypt, Libya, East Africa, and Southern Germany in the heartland of Africa. For the foreseeable future, they can only cling tightly to the leg of East Africa.
Manfred said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, our province's grain exports have been consistently growing over the years, especially since the Abyssinia Empire and the Italian Red Sea Colony are among our most important overseas clients."
