On the land of the Congo River Basin, currently the only Europeans who have set foot are the Spaniards, which is reassuring and commendable.
The Spanish Government feels pressured because, in completing the existing five-year development plan, it must also take into account the development of the colonies.
Especially the transportation department, which not only needs to be responsible for building railways within Spain but also for constructing railroads in the Congo River Basin.
The domestic railway concerns the successful completion of the five-year development plan, while the railway in the Congo River Basin pertains to the smooth development of the colony; neither can be delayed.
The Ministry of Industry is similarly tasked. Although no large-scale factories need to be built in the colonies, the extraction and transportation of minerals are still the responsibilities of the industrial department.
