Chapter 874: Promoting Immigration
Time passed quickly and it was already 1894. Over the past three years, East Africa had made great progress in the development of Mozambique and Angola. 2.73 million people had been relocated from Mozambique alone, making it no longer as desolate as before.
In addition to the continuous expansion of the local population into inland and remote areas, the foreign immigrant population also reached a small peak in the previous three years, but it still cannot be compared with the scale of immigration in the previous thirty years.
Moreover, the main force of foreign immigrants this time are Italians and Chinese, which further increases the difficulty of recruiting population in Germany.
One is that the economies of German countries such as Germany and Austria are developing rapidly. Among the German countries in the world, there is no country that has developed poorly in recent years, including the Sigmaringen royal territory with Chad as the core, which is carrying out colonial expansion. Although the conditions are poor, it has a vast area, a sparse population, rich resources, and has developed very impressively.
Of course, absorbing foreign immigrants is only a stopgap measure to provide conditions for the rapid development of Mozambique, Angola, Orange and other places. The native population in East Africa is growing rapidly. Without the help of foreign immigrant groups, it will only take two to three years for East Africa to still develop Mozambique and Angola to its current level.
The westward movement of the United States and the westward movement of East Africa started almost at the same time. A careful calculation shows that the United States left East Africa more than ten years earlier. By the 1990s, the United States' overall development had basically ended, while East Africa's development of Angola had just entered its initial stage. In addition, there are still a large number of areas in northern and southern East Africa that need to be developed urgently.
Moreover, the conquest of the interior of Africa by East Africa was carried out in tandem with large-scale warfare, and the territorial expansion of the United States was completed long before the 1850s.
In the 1840s, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Texas and other places were incorporated into the United States. The Mississippi River basin, including the eastern part, except for Florida, was incorporated into the United States in the early 19th century.
Judging from these areas that were later incorporated into the United States, the United States actually completed the overall formation of its territory only fifty years earlier than East Africa. The development of the central and eastern regions of East Africa began almost at the same time as the U.S. westward movement.
It was not until the end of the westward expansion of the United States that East Africa's development of its territory entered its climax. The only change is that East Africa no longer relies on foreign immigrants to develop domestic areas. Foreign immigrants now can only be regarded as icing on the cake for the development of East Africa.
This is actually true. After Mozambique and Angola had begun to take shape, East Africa tightened its immigration scale again in 1893. As for immigrants who did not catch the last train, East Africa directly used resources to transport them to Sigmaringen, Cameroon, Belgian Congo and other regions.
…
Jiaozhou.
"East Africa has stopped issuing visas on a large scale this year. If you want to immigrate to East Africa on a large scale, you can only strictly follow the rules."
As East Africa closed its immigration routes, many people who heard the news were very disappointed.
"Sir, you East Africans can't just ignore us! We all responded to your call and came from afar to seek refuge with you. We sold all our property just for a ticket to go abroad. If we don't go to East Africa, we will have to sleep on the streets."
The huge crowd outside the consulate protested, but there was nothing they could do about it. The reputation that East Africa had accumulated over the past few decades had spread to the interior of the Far Eastern Empire, especially after East Africa opened up its postal system to Germany and the Far Eastern Empire.
Those who immigrated to East Africa could get in touch with their relatives in their home country through telegrams, letters, etc., and some of them could even go abroad to visit relatives.
This makes the situation in East Africa more realistic. The living conditions in East Africa are only considered to be in the upper-middle level among countries in the world, but compared with the Far East Empire, which is still relatively poor at that time, it is indeed a blessed land. The same conditions in Europe would not be so attractive.
Now European immigrants can choose to go to the United States or Argentina, and only then consider East Africa and those countries with colonies. Natives can give priority to their own colonies.
Of course, these cannot change the enthusiasm of immigrants from the Far East Empire to go to East Africa. The most important thing is that East Africa itself has a large number of Chinese immigrants, and it is not as xenophobic as the United States and Argentina.
This can also explain why the Japanese are keen to immigrate to Brazil. Brazil's population policy is more inclusive than East Africa's, and people of all skin colors can be found, while East Africa is too unfriendly to black people.
"An Jing, this is the consulate, not a place for you to make trouble or quarrel. East Africa's immigration policy is naturally based on the country's development needs. I also know that some people yearn for East Africa, but you are a step late after all. If you had come two days earlier, I'm afraid this situation would not be the case."
"But some people don't need to worry. Our demand for high-quality talents in East Africa remains unchanged. Those who are interested can take the exams we organize. Of course, this is difficult."
"Of course, if you can't go to East Africa, you can also choose the neighboring countries of East Africa. It depends on whether you can accept it. If you are interested, we can directly issue you a visa to the Sigmaringen Royal Territory."
The immigration channels of the Sigmaringen Royal Territory in the Far East have always been entrusted to East Africa, so East Africa can directly issue Sigmaringen visas, which is the same as Haiti, except that the cooperation between East Africa and Haiti is for the slave trade.
"Where is Sigmaringen? What are the conditions like?"
Everyone is familiar with East Africa, but Sigmaringen is a completely unfamiliar name.
The consulate staff did not hide anything and told the true situation of the Sigmaringen royal territory in detail.
"There's also the desert! How good can that place be? Lack of water is a big problem..."
"Ahem, don't underestimate the Sigmaringen royal territory. Although the environment is a little worse, the population is small, the competition pressure is small, and the territory is large enough. It is larger than three or four provinces of your Far Eastern Empire. Take Shandong for example. It looks big to you, right? Sigmaringen is eight times the size of Shandong. Moreover, only some areas are short of water. There are places that are not short of water! There are no people living around many rivers and lakes."
"Besides, there is another advantage to the Sigmaringen Royal Territory. That is, there are many Chinese people there. There are hundreds of thousands of people there, and they are all your fellow countrymen. So it is definitely much better to develop in Sigmaringen than in the United States or other places. At least you don't have to be a second-class citizen. What is a second-class citizen? It means that you are not treated as one of their own."
Of course, no matter how the East African staff explained, no one dared to make a decision easily. After all, the complexity of the name of the Sigmaringen royal territory alone was enough to make many people's brain cells die.
East Africa has two names in the Far East. East Africa and Hexingen at least have no more than three words, while the Sigmaringen royal family is too complicated.
At this time, the consulate staff said directly: "Of course you can hesitate and think carefully. After all, going to a place thousands of miles away is an important decision, but it is better to go as early as possible. Just like the recruitment of population in East Africa before, there was no limit, but now it is difficult to get a permit."
"Without saying too much, Sigmaringen will need at least a million more places. Don't overestimate it. It will only take a few years. After a few years, I'm afraid they will have to limit the number of places like we have in East Africa."
Sure enough, under the urging of this "scarcity", many people gritted their teeth and chose to get on the ship first. As for whether it was a "pirate ship", there was no time to consider it anyway, after all, there was nothing to lose.
East Africa helps sell tickets for the Sigmaringen Royal Territory, which is necessary for cooperation between the two countries, and the Far Eastern Empire immigrant groups can also choose to go to German Cameroon, Togoland or Belgian colonies.
Of course, East Africa would definitely not recommend them to go to the Belgian colonies, although because of East Africa, the Belgian government was slightly more "merciful" towards Chinese immigrants in the Belgian Congo, which was the same status as black people in the United States.
Moreover, both Belgium and Germany have embassies in the Far Eastern Empire, so East Africa certainly cannot interfere in matters such as immigration.
