Paraguayan War has created a large number of orphans. In fact, the largest number of orphans are single-parent families and single women.
At present, Paraguayan War is not over yet, but at least it is estimated that it has accumulated 70,000 to 80,000 orphans and widowed mothers who have lost their husbands and fathers.
With the intervention of Hohenzollern Conglomerate, some people have left this place of right and wrong and gone to East Africa to start a new life.
According to the end time of the previous life Paraguayan War, this project can continue for another three or four years.
Before the new Paraguay government is established, East African colony can absorb at least tens of thousands of Paraguayan immigrants. If coordination is good, hundreds of thousands is not impossible.
This kind of thing can be done during the war. After all, Paraguay, as a country with a small population, originally had a small population. Before the war, the number was only 500,000 or 600,000 (some data said it was more than 1 million, after all, many countries did not have censuses at that time).
What East African colony is doing is digging out the foundation of Paraguay, but Paraguay is not without solutions.
Paraguay is originally a country of immigrants. It will just absorb more immigrants in the future. Of course, this is no different from farting. If immigrants are so easy to recruit, Ernst won't be so difficult.
Moreover, after the war, a large area of Paraguay was cut off, and the country was in ruins. What immigrant would be so short-sighted and want to come to Paraguay to develop? Isn't Brazil and Argentina next door delicious!
In this regard, East African colony is much stronger. Although East African colony has not been developed for a long time, it is already a place with quite good development in Africa (excluding North Africa).
As for the environment in East Africa, not to mention compared with Argentina (after all, it is similar to Europe, immigrants do not have to adapt), it is almost the same as Brazilian Plateau.
In addition, East African colony recruits immigrants in a planned and premeditated manner, which is much faster than those American countries that rely on spontaneous immigration.
That is to say, East African colony prefers to be limited rather than excessive. It is relatively repulsive to some local ruffians and petty thieves immigrants. At the same time, it is on guard against some immigrant groups that are not easy to govern and are not conducive to stability, such as township parties and clans.
Otherwise, it would not be a dream for the number of immigrants to exceed United States every year. Immigrants from the Far East alone would rank first in the number of immigrants in the world.
This is not an exaggeration, because it is quite difficult for contemporary immigrants to afford a ship ticket, unless they encounter an emergency recruitment situation in some colonies. The problem is that this situation is not sustainable.
It's not like there are no countries that want to build colonies to repay themselves. British put in a lot of effort in America back then, and the last war of independence was all in vain.
Therefore, Ernst controls the immigration of East African colony very strictly to prevent the emergence of rebellious people like United States.
The reason why United States is independent is because of the existence of a large number of elites. After all, those who fled to United States on the Mayflower were not refugees, but knowledgeable and organized Puritans.
There was a saying in the previous life that Calvin's Puritanism theory was the foundation of United States.
Therefore, Ernst strongly rejects any theories and beliefs that might unite immigrants, or blood ties and clans...
East African colony There are no missionaries or churches, and the immigrants' beliefs are confusing, including Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and even a small amount of Islam.
The beliefs of immigrants from the Far East are even more confusing. What about ancestors, family immortals, Heavenly God, Jade Emperor, City God... Even some people who have had a lot of contact with Western immigrants will guess God and Allah, which fully reflects their pragmatic thinking.
East African colony is similar to a company in management. Ernst will naturally not take the initiative to promote the construction of churches, and has no idea of recruiting missionaries.
Most of the immigrants in East Africa are illiterate and old farmers. They have not systematically studied religious knowledge. Even if they spontaneously perform some rituals at home, they only have a partial understanding and rely on the experience passed down from generation to generation.
Missionaries can use their right to explain religion and connect the people through missionary activities, so Ernst strictly prohibits religious people from entering East African colony.
Most of the immigrants in East African colony are ordinary people with no ambitions. Most of the leaders are Germans who retired and returned to Germany for retirement.
Coupled with the restraint of loyal Hechingen Military Academy students, Hohenzollern Conglomerate continuously enriches the leadership.
Currently East African Colonial Government is quite stable and is in a state of containment from many parties, and the only hub that maintains East African colony is Ernst.
As for making trouble in East African colony, not to mention the constraints between the parties, if we leave Hohenzollern Conglomerate's foreign trade system, East African colony's economic structure will disintegrate and collapse.
September 10, 1867.
MORGANS G Luo Ge.
East African colony, Lower Coastal Region, Roenroda city, Masasi town, Engaga village village chief.
He is taking the immigrants assigned from Paraguay to Engaga village to see their new residences.
"Ladies, the current conditions in East Africa are not very good, so the furniture and other facilities in these houses are still relatively simple, but the environment is definitely not bad."
Mogens K Luo Ge pointed at the door and said:
"Have you seen those acres of fertile farmland? Doesn't it feel good? You must know that a year ago, Engaga village was still a wilderness where only wild animals lived. With the arrival of immigrants, Engaga village was developed at a speed visible to the naked eye, so there is no need to worry about the living conditions and future development prospects of East African colony. It is far away from war and is in good order. With the government cleaning up the surrounding wild animals, there are no traces of wild animals. It is very safe."
The translators were German-speaking residents of Paraguay. Although most of these immigrants who came to East Africa from Paraguay to escape the war were Hispanic, the fragmentation and war in Germany in the early years caused a large number of Germans to emigrate overseas.
At present, Prussia is getting better after integrating Northern German territories, and the immigration wave has cooled down. The female translator is Germans whose ancestors immigrated to Paraguay, so she can speak German and Spanish.
Mogens K Luo Ge continued, "And you definitely caught up with the good time. In order to take care of you orphans and widows caused by the war, Prussia's His Highness Prince Ernst, that is, The owner of East African colony personally subsidizes you poor people, and East African colony provides free education for your children... so live in Engaga village with peace of mind, and the future will be better."
After listening to the introduction of village chief Mogens K Luo Ge, these Paraguay women who had traveled across the ocean from distant countries felt relieved.
Some cried with joy and turned to God to wish Ernst good health.
They are also pitiful people who lost their husbands in the war, and the war is still going on with no hope of ending. Therefore, for the safety of their children, many people have to leave Paraguay, a land of right and wrong, and come to live in East Africa.
Of course, the living allowance also gave them some determination. After all, they will have to raise their children by themselves in the future, and having a subsidy can reduce their pressure.
Before coming to East Africa, I might have been worried that the local government would break its promise, but now that I got a house, I immediately felt at ease.
