The construction difficulty of the New Hamburg Port is even greater than the initial construction of Mtwara Port in East Africa. Not only is it far from East Africa, lacking relevant population and industrial support, but the project scale is also much larger than Mtwara Port, so New Hamburg Port must prioritize the construction of the naval port.
While preparations for the New Hamburg Port were underway in East Africa, Grand Duke Ferdinand also arrived in Austria, smoothly disembarking at the port of Trieste.
At the Royal Shipyard, Ferdinand asked with great interest, "Is that giant ironclad ship Austria's new main battleship? What is its tonnage approximately? How does it compare to the Lissa Ironclad Ship?"
