There are now radio stations connecting both sides of the Pacific.
For ordinary people to use this radio station to send messages, the price is sky-high.
However, the two Dong brothers often use the rooftop to hold online meetings. Although it is not as easy to use as a telephone, it is much faster than before.
Dong Shuheng came to see his brother this time. In addition to reporting on the war situation in Dongfang, there was another matter that required Donghua's cooperation.
Because Donghua belongs to the Great China Circle Military Alliance, if we want to cease the war, we must cease the war together.
"Husband, if possible, we can naturally cease the war. Our current strength is not capable of swallowing the entire North Grenada." Zhumu said.
"I think so too. We took advantage of this war. I am not going to return the places on the Pacific coast of Ecuador and Colombia," Dong Shutong said.
Seeing his wife's questioning look, he continued to explain: "This is related to our maritime security in the Southeast Pacific."
"But in this case, can the armistice negotiations be concluded?" Zhumu said with some worry.
"Don't worry, madam, this is our actual control area. If they control our land, they will not return it. In addition, if the Japanese really want to cease the war, they may help us attack North Grina."
We are putting pressure on them. Without the support of the Chinese people, what will those defeated generals in the north have to fight against us?"
"Haha, husband, why do you feel that we are bullying others?" Zhumu said with a smile, looking like a little daughter-in-law.
It is quite hard for this woman to hold a high position. On the one hand, she has to play the role of a sacred and cold sister in front of the ministers and people, and she also has to try to be gentle and pleasant in front of her husband.
"Madam, you can only bully others if you have the strength. If you don't have the strength, you can only be bullied by others. Do you think that when we first established Donghua, who among the countries around us didn't want to bully us?"
"Well, yes, husband, if the war is over, let's go out for a walk. I haven't been to many places in our Donghua Empire yet," Zhumu suggested.
Since the establishment of Donghua, the two of them have basically only traveled between the capital and Lima, and have never been to any place farther away.
Mainly because Donghua has always been in a state of war with surrounding areas.
On the one hand, they have to preside over domestic affairs, and on the other hand, it is also for their own safety.
But now that the war is about to end, Queen Zhumu and the co-owner of southern Amelia always want to meet her people.
Places like Polivia, Brague, and the Tingen Federation, as well as the Mapuche and Tehurche territories in the south, are also worth visiting.
In the next period of time, South Amelia will present a three-legged situation.
The area controlled by Donghua is basically about the same size as the Busi Empire.
Northern Grenada has become the smallest force in terms of area.
In terms of population controlled, the Donghua Empire was larger than the other two powers.
Although the Busi Empire is large in area, most of it is a tropical rainforest where no one lives. The only areas where people actually live are the eastern coastal areas and some settlements near rivers.
Due to the rapid increase of Chinese immigrants in Donghua in recent years, and the countries such as Zili and Tingen Federation were originally places with large populations, Donghua now has the largest total population, with a total population of more than 10 million.
.
This number seems small compared to the local population of more than 600 million. You must know that the original population of Milu was less than one million.
Among these 10 million people, there are nearly 4 million Chinese, 1 million Fusang, Peninsular and Nanyang people, about 3 million Yin Di'an people, and 2 million whites and white Yin Di'an people.
Ann mixed race people.
These populations are not evenly distributed.
The areas controlled by the Donghua Empire can be divided into three levels.
The areas under direct control are actually the Milu and Chili areas and the entire Strait of Magellan.
The second level is Perivia and the areas controlled by the Mapuche and Tehurche people in the south. These places are the fiefdoms of the Donghua Empire.
The third level is the Braguay and Tingen federations. They only honor Zhumu as the queen in name. In fact, they manage their own internal affairs and military affairs.
It should be added here that Perlivia was almost crippled in this war and completely lost its autonomy.
The Donghua Empire has completely taken control of this place. Several local leaders have accepted the canonization of the Queen and become small lords who manage the local area.
In this way, the entire Perivia region has actually been included under the rule of the Donghua Empire.
The Tingen Federation and Braguay are somewhat special. They lost the war and then joined the Donghua Empire in name only through compromise.
This is not a big deal in the white ideological tradition.
At this time, some small countries in Europe were doing a lot of things to change their families.
Just find yourself a backer.
This is especially true for loose confederations like the Tingen Federation.
Now that we have lost, instead of fighting Donghua to the death, we might as well give in and just be able to protect ourselves.
This is especially true for those big families that control the local area.
We can't blame them for being short-sighted, it's just that what these people pursue is development and security.
It can ensure their safety and allow their family to continue to grow and develop. What's the big deal if they just recognize a queen?
"You don't need to tell me this, I will make arrangements for it. The puma will also patrol its territory regularly." Dong Shutong said with a smile.
"Hmph, who do you think is the lioness?" Zhumu said with eyes wide.
"Okay, okay, we Zhumu are the eagles of the Andes. That's okay." Dong Shutong quickly begged for mercy.
In terms of combat effectiveness, neither of them can compare to Zhu Mu who grew up on a pony.
"Shu Tong, after two years, when the country has stabilized, I will accompany you back to the mainland, okay? Then I will take the children with me." After the trouble was over, Zhu Mu said to Dong Shutong.
In fact, this proposal has been made many times, but over the years, Donghua has never settled down. This is a country that was established in the flames of war.
Doomed to be unable to start his new life peacefully. Donghua's growth is also accompanied by constant battles.
So some Europeans like to call Donghua Andean war eagles. Others say they are the Spartans of South Amelia.
Donghua Kingdom has not let everyone down. Since it went online, it has won every battle. Even in the most difficult times, it has never failed.
Basically all the Chinese in Donghua have experience in the military.
At the beginning, basically all the young Chinese were soldiers. Now that the base has grown, soldiers are no longer the only occupation for the Chinese.
Some of them became local magistrates and administrators.
Some people got their own land and began to live the lives of small landowners and ranchers.
The Chinese businessmen who first came to Donghua were basically engaged in the mining business.
Chinese businessmen are attentive and hard-working, and Donghua's mining industry is developing faster than ever before.
Laborers who migrated from Fuso and Nanyang areas became the main labor force in the mines.
The management of the mines by the Chinese is much more humane than that of the original white men and black-hearted mine masters.
These workers from Fuso and Nanyang also moved here with their families.
The Donghua Empire will allocate each family a small piece of land, about one acre, which can be used to build houses and even grow a few crops.
This is much smaller than the land given to Chinese immigrants, because when these people moved, they had already determined that they could only work as miners in Donghua. This is called "directional immigration."
Since you are a miner, of course you cannot give too much land.
Of course, after they make their own money, they can buy their own land.
But most of the land is owned by owners. If they want to buy land, they can only go to remote places and may not be able to buy it.
Because the empire wanted to ensure the number of miners, it naturally restricted their access to land.
But this is already good for them.
For example, there is an immigrant family named Dongxiang Yi from Fuso. There is a man, a woman and a child.
Originally, when they were in Fuso, they were tenants of the feudal lord, and their monthly household income was only about 50 kilograms of rice.
This is still normal. If the harvest is not good, you can only eat wild vegetables and rice bran.
But after arriving in Donghua, this man went to the guano mine on the island. Apart from the tiring work and the stench from the mine, there was not much danger.
In this way, he can earn about two Donghua Huayuan every month. Donghua Huayuan and Fuxing Army Huayuan have the same amount, and they are exchanged one-to-one.
In fact, the only difference is the pattern. According to the price of grain in Donghua, this money can buy 400 kilograms of rice.
Of course, Donghua mainly produces corn and potatoes, and the price of these products is only half of that of rice.
In other words, with his own income, he can sell thousands of kilograms of potatoes and corn every month.
With so much food, they will definitely not be able to finish it all.
Therefore, such a family of four can live a subsistence life relying on one man's income.
Of course, people can't just eat, they have other needs.
But for these Fusang immigrants, this is enough for them to work hard.
Dongxiang's wife can still do some odd jobs to supplement the family income. Their homes are usually in coastal resettlement areas.
Because it is relatively close to the guano mining area.
The Donghua Empire generally disrupted the resettlement of these new immigrants.
For example, the seaside town where Dongxiang's home is located is half Chinese. Most of the local land is owned by these Chinese, and there are also a small number of white families. Most of these white people are engaged in handicrafts or go fishing.
The most friendly thing for the Dongxiang family is that the sea fish here is very cheap, almost as cheap as food.
Fuso people like to eat fish, but generally only nobles can afford to eat fish.
But after living in Donghua, the Dongxiang family has realized the freedom of fishing.
Sometimes the wife even takes the children to the beach to fish.
Donghua Fish Farm is indeed the largest fish farm in the world.
And there is no overfishing in this era.
Not only can the problem of food and clothing be solved, Dongxiang children can also go to school for free.
The government said that all children are sponsored by Her Majesty the Queen for their education.
The Donghua royal family has a large amount of industry in its hands, and every year a part of the income is used to subsidize government-run schools.
It's just that here the school only teaches Chinese, Yin Di'an and Latin.
And Chinese is a compulsory course for all children.
Only Latin and Indian children can take language electives.
For example, children in Dongxiang can only learn Chinese. Of course, they can also take Latin or Yin Di'an as electives.
However, no one teaches Fusang dialect here.
This has no impact on the Dongxiang family. Being able to have their children go to school is a blessing that ordinary people like them cannot imagine.
Besides, when the children go to school, the wife can go out and do things.
They don't care at all if they speak Chinese or Fusang dialect. Anyway, Fusang people use Chinese characters.
In fact, Qi Bin is currently doing the same thing in Fuso Protectorate.
He has seen the huge benefits that integrating into Greater China has brought to Fuso.
He began to vigorously promote Han culture in Fusang. He felt that as long as they were culturally the same as the Han people, then Fusang people would be true Chinese from now on.
In the future, we will be able to obtain the same status as the Chinese in the Greater China Circle.
In the territories directly under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate, not only Chinese characters are commonly used, but officials and schools must speak Mandarin Chinese.
The local feudal lords and daimyo even took the Chinese language and Chinese characters as a symbol of their status, and took the lead in learning them themselves.
Just like when they fully studied the culture of the Tang Empire.
This is a group that admires the strong. They are willing to completely integrate into the strong.
These are Qi Bin's little thoughts, and they are also the reasons why he suddenly fell in love with Dong Shuheng, who was obviously his enemy.
Later, he came to prominence in dealing with grassland issues and showed strong political ability.
Next, he successfully gained Dong Shuheng's trust in dealing with Fusang.
Qi Bin has been in Fuso for several years. The most important things he has done are to organize the redundant population on the island and transport it to places where the population is needed.
Another thing is cultural promotion, especially in areas directly under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate.
Of course, he is still quietly weakening the power of the local feudal lord and daimyo.
This was the stated goal when establishing the Fuso Protectorate.
Returning to Yunduan City, Dong Shutong began to prepare for negotiations on an armistice.
Now Donghua mainly confronts Grenada in the north.
Both the eastern and southern fronts are in a relatively stable state.
The Busi people were relatively conservative and did not provoke Donghua rashly.
Otherwise Donghua wouldn't mind going down the Amazon River.
Dong Shutong has prepared ships here.
With the diesel engines purchased from the Renaissance Army, Donghua was able to quickly organize a rapid transport team on the river.
By then, the Bushi strongholds along the Amazon River may not be able to be maintained.
Now Donghua and Busi are bordered to the west and south.
In fact, the geographical advantage is already on Donghua's side.
Because the center of the Busi people is on its southeastern coast.
If Busi goes to war with Donghua, he can only attack Braguay and Tingen Federation.
But these two places are not Donghua’s core control areas.
But Donghua was able to follow the dense river channel of the Amazon River to Busi's rear.
By then, Bushi will have lost its strategic depth and been reduced from a big country to a small coastal country.
Moreover, if Busi attacks the Braguay and Tingen federations, it will just help Donghua weaken its local power and make these two regions completely fall to the Donghua Empire.
This actually helped Donghua.
In fact, Donghua is now considered the chosen country of South Amelia.
Its development potential is no worse than that of Millikin at the same time.
