Chapter 94： Immigration to Paraguay

Chapter 94 Paraguay Immigration Arrival

The Paraguay War resulted in a large number of orphans, but in fact the most were single-parent families and single women.

The Paraguay War is not over yet, but at least it is estimated that there are 70,000 to 80,000 orphans and widows who have lost their husbands and fathers.

With the intervention of the Hexingen Consortium, some people have left this place of right and wrong, and went to East Africa to start a new life.

According to the end of the Paraguay War in the previous life, this project can continue for another three or four years.

Before the establishment of the new Paraguayan government, the East African colony can absorb at least tens of thousands of Paraguayan immigrants. If the coordination is good, hundreds of thousands are not impossible.

This kind of thing can be done during the war. After all, Paraguay, as a country with a small population, has a small population.

The practice of the East African colonies is digging the foundation of Paraguay, but Paraguay is not without solutions.

Paraguay is originally a country of immigrants, and it will be enough to absorb more immigrants in the future. Of course, this is no different from farting. If it is so easy to recruit immigrants, Ernst will not be so difficult to do.

Moreover, after the war, Paraguay was cut off from a large area of ​​land, and the country was in ruins. Which immigrant is so short-sighted and wants to come to Paraguay to develop, isn't Brazil and Argentina next door good!

In this regard, the East African colony is much stronger. Although the East African colony has not been established for a long time, it is already a place where Africa (excluding North Africa) has developed quite well.

The environment in East Africa, not to mention the comparison with Argentina (after all, it is similar to Europe, and immigrants do not need to adapt), is almost the same as the Brazilian plateau.

In addition, the East African colonies have planned and premeditated recruitment of immigrants, which is much faster than those American countries that rely on spontaneous immigration.

That is to say, the East African colonies would rather be deficient than excessive. They are more repulsive to some local rogues and petty immigrants. At the same time, they are guarding against some immigrant groups that are not good for governance and not conducive to stability, such as township parties and clans.

Otherwise, it is not a dream that the number of immigrants surpasses that of the United States every year. The immigrants from the Far East alone can 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 boat ticket, unless some colonies encounter urgent recruitment of manpower. The problem is that this situation is not continuous.

It is not that there are no countries that want to build colonies to repay themselves. The British put in a lot of hard work in the Americas, and the last war of independence was all in vain.

That's why Ernst is very strict about the immigration of the East African colonies, so as to prevent the emergence of anti-bond boys like the United States.

The reason why the United States can be independent is because of the existence of a large number of elites. After all, the people who fled to the United States from the Mayflower were not refugees, but educated and organized Puritans.

There was a saying in the previous life that Calvin's Puritanism theory was the foundation of the United States.

So Ernst was very repulsed by any theory and belief that might unite immigrants, or blood and clan….

East African colonies didn’t even have missionaries and churches, and the beliefs of the immigrants were chaotic, with Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and even a small number of Green Christians.

The beliefs of immigrants from the Far East are even more confusing, such as ancestors, family immortals, gods, Jade Emperors, city gods...even some people who have a lot of contact with Western immigrants will guess about God and God, which fully reflects their pragmatic thinking.

The East African colony is similar to a company in management. Ernst naturally would not take the initiative to promote the construction of churches, and he had no idea of ​​recruiting missionaries.

Most 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 are only half-knowledgeable and rely on the experience passed down from generation to generation.

Missionaries can connect with the people through the right to interpret religion and at the same time through missionary activities, so Ernst strictly prohibited religious people from entering the East African colonies.

The immigrants in the East African colonies are mostly ordinary people and have no ambitions. Most of the leaders are Germans who return to Germany after retirement.

Coupled with the restraint of the loyal students of the Hexingen Military Academy, the Hexingen Consortium has continuously enriched the leadership.

The current East African colonial government is quite stable and is in a state of multi-party containment, and the only hub that maintains the East African colony is Ernst.

As for doing things in the East African colonies, not to mention the restraint between the parties, if you leave the foreign trade system of the Hexingen Consortium, the economic structure of the East African colonies will disintegrate and collapse.

September 10, 1867.

Mogens Kroger.

East African Colony, Lower Marina District, Ron Roda City, Massassi Town, Village Chief of Ngaga Village.

He is showing the migrants assigned to the village of Ngaga from Paraguay to see their new dwellings.

"Ladies, the current conditions in East Africa are not very good, so the furniture and other facilities in these houses are relatively simple, but the environment is definitely not bad."

Mogens Kroger pointed to the door and said:

"Have you seen those fertile fields? Does it feel good? You must know that a year ago, Ngaga Village was still a wilderness where only wild animals lived. With the arrival of immigrants, Ngaga Village can be seen with the naked eye. It is developed at a fast speed, so there is no need to worry about the living conditions and future development prospects of the East African colonies. It is far away from wars and is in order. With the government cleaning up the surrounding wild animals, there are no traces of wild animals, so it is very safe.”

The translators are the German-speaking residents of Paraguay. Although most of these immigrants from Paraguay to East Africa are Hispanic, the fragmentation and war in the early years of Germany caused a large number of Germans to leave overseas.

At present, Prussia is getting better after integrating the North German region, and the wave of immigration has been reduced. The female translator is a German whose ancestors immigrated to Paraguay, so she can speak both German and Spanish.

Mogens Kroger continued: "And you are definitely catching up with the good times. In order to take care of you orphans and widows caused by the war, His Royal Highness Prince Ernst of Prussia, the owner of the East African colony, Ask for your own pockets, subsidize you poor people, and the East African colony provides your children with free education...so you can live in Ngaga Village with peace of mind, and the future will be better."

After listening to the introduction of the village chief Mogens Kroger, these Paraguayan women who have traveled across the ocean from distant countries feel relieved.

Some cried with joy, facing God, wishing Ernst good health.

The women who lost their husbands in the war are also poor people, and the war is still going on, and there is no hope of ending it. Therefore, for the safety of their children, many people have to leave Paraguay, a place of right and wrong, to live in East Africa.

Of course, the living allowance also gave them some determination. After all, the children can only grow up on their own, and a subsidy can relieve their pressure.

Before I came to East Africa, I might have been worried that the local government would break my promise, but now that the house is divided, my heart immediately settles down.
