Without the threat of force, would the Peruvians readily agree to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese workers?
Will they be so quick to abolish the contract that is equivalent to a contract of sale on a Chinese worker?
The answer is of course no.
The public laws of all nations are inferior to a few warships. This is a simple truth.
"Sixty-eight thousand Chinese workers!"
Holding the telegram in his hand, Zhu Xianhai said proudly.
"With all these Chinese workers arriving in Nanhua, our population will exceed 350,000."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand! Lord, 90% of these three hundred and fifty thousand are young and strong!"
Fang Zhanbo smiled.
"Even if Argentina has a population of 1.5 million, the number of young and middle-aged women is almost the same. Calculated, our population in South China can be considered prosperous! The number of newborn babies this year is expected to exceed 80,000, but it is a pity that there are too few young women. If there were enough
For a woman, the size of a newborn will at least be several times that of a baby.”
Fang Zhanbo, who presides over the "New Home Project", is naturally very aware of the number of newborns in Nanhua. After all, marriage and childbirth are the prerequisites for immigrants to be assigned to a new home. However, there are less than 100,000 women in Nanhua, which means that hundreds of thousands of women will not be able to find them.
To my wife.
"This is not a problem. It will be solved in a few years."
Zhu Xianhai smiled. Now that little Lopez has begun to challenge the two major countries of Argentina and Brazil on his own. It is not yet known how far his journey of death will go, but what is certain is that the self-respecting
The extremely powerful "Little Napoleon of South America" will definitely lead the people of Paraguay...well, mainly the men, to a dead end.
By the time the war ends, Paraguay will be a country with more women than men. By then, women will no longer be a problem. There are hundreds of thousands of women there!
But, more than 200,000 women are not enough!
Standing in front of the map, Zhu Xianhai pointed at the map and said.
"By the end of the year, the railway will almost be opened to traffic. By then, our immigration ships will switch to the Pacific route. It is estimated that the immigration speed will about double. In the next few years, our population will enter explosive growth!"
Next year, as the number of new steam immigration ships exceeds 50, and the distance of the Pacific route is shortened by nearly half, the speed of immigration will be greatly accelerated, even surpassing that of the United States.
"Now, our business in Shanghai has always regarded attracting immigrants as one of its most important tasks. There are at least 30 to 40 million young and middle-aged people in China who have no land and no property. They are forced to live in poor rural areas. They are eager to
To survive, as long as our recruitment team enters the mainland, prints and distributes some pamphlets, describing the attractive prospects of immigrating to South China, they don't even need to provide travel expenses. They will take the initiative to go to the port, board the immigration ship, and the immigration wave..."
After a pause, Zhu Xianhai said.
"The immigration wave has just begun. For now, the most important thing is boats! As long as we have boats, we will be able to continuously transport people from the Pacific to South China. With enough immigrants, soon this land will
There will be earth-shaking changes.”
It is not just Nanhua that has been changed, but also the Pacific Ocean - on the Pacific Ocean, Nanhua's merchant ships have opened multiple trading stations. Those trading stations will be the basis for Nanhua's expansion in the Pacific. Even last year, Zhu Xianhai followed suit.
The United States has promulgated a similar "Guano Island Act" - under this provision, if a U.S. citizen finds guano on any unaffiliated and uninhabited island, the island shall be "inhabited by humans".
Subject to the President’s decision, it may be deemed to be “apptaining” to the United States.”
On the South China side, it is just attached to the company. But the result is the same as the "Guano Island Act" in the United States. Any speculative adventurer can "wander freely in the Pacific or other oceans and incorporate the islands into the company."
All the company needs to pay is the cost of acquiring Guano Island.
Guano is the "cheapest, most powerful, long-lasting and easy-to-transport fertilizer" in this era. It will promote the agricultural development of South China and increase crop yields. Of course, more importantly, South China will harvest a number of islands, just like the United States.
Likewise, after the passage of the Guano Island Act in the United States, speculators rushed to claim ownership. This was another wave of land rush, this time in the Pacific and Caribbean. The first islands joined the United States in 1857. By 1863
In 2006, the U.S. government has incorporated 59 small islands. Historically, the United States has occupied a total of 94 guano islands in the Pacific. After the value of the guano was exhausted, a Pacific deployment strategy followed.
important value.
Now, the outbreak of the Civil War has caused speculators in the United States to pause, but Nanhua has begun to take the same steps. The guano on the guano island is not necessarily important, but through each small island,
But it can form a huge maritime empire in the Pacific Ocean.
"Such an era! Such a land! If we can't carve out a place for our Chinese people to survive in this era, then we would really be sorry for this era!"
While sighing, another sentence came to Zhu Xianhai's mind -
"The Pacific Ocean will be ours, and the Atlantic Ocean will be ours too!"
Maybe not yet, but in the future, it will definitely belong to Nanhua.
Looking at his lord who was standing in front of a large map with his back turned, Fang Zhanbo's expression became solemn.
yes!
If we cannot conquer this land, we will be really sorry for the times!
From the original grassland to this rapidly changing city, it only took four years. If only there were a few more years, maybe the lord's dream would come true!
When millions of Chinese immigrants live on this land, who dares to say that this is not the promised land for the Chinese?
Maybe by then, the lord can ascend to the throne and become emperor!
Fang Zhanbo is full of expectations for that day. He will be the minister of Conglong! He will definitely be a very popular minister in the new dynasty, and he may even become an honorable prince who will retire with the country.
Thinking of this, he felt even more motivated.
Zhu Xianhai didn't know what Fang Zhanbo was thinking in his heart. He stared at the map and looked at the vast ocean. Although his inner ambition was inflated, he knew very well that in order to realize this ambition, he must have enough money.
Strength is not enough.
Such as the strength at sea!
The reason why the Peruvians surrendered this time was, to put it bluntly, ultimately because of force. Without the two ironclad ships and the threat of force, how could they have surrendered and made concessions, and how could they have agreed to release all the Chinese workers who were willing to leave.
"In the final analysis, this world still relies on strength! Nanhua's strength is still too weak!"
