Chapter 1282 Study Camp
Regarding the issue of civilizing immigrants, the East African government has mastered a standardized process, which now mainly applies to East African overseas colonies.
Immigration study camp in Davao City.
"I am your instructor Betzdorf. In the coming days, I will tell you in Russian the rules and laws you should abide by in the Mindanao colony, as well as the naturalization requirements."
"Coming here doesn't mean you can relax. If you can't get local household registration, your status will always be inferior to others. Don't think I'm being alarmist."
"In Mindanao, there are still many indigenous people who have not completed naturalization. They will do the hardest work and earn the lowest wages."
"The most important thing for naturalizing in Mindanao is to master standard German. Many Slavs in Mindanao have joined the big family of Mindanao in this way."
Of course, Betzdorf obviously did not mention East African nationality, but only the regional nationality of Mindanao. This situation widely exists in East African colonies. After all, this is the only overseas territory that has joined the East African administrative system like Lanfang Overseas Province. An example.
There is nothing to say about this. Just like the vast British colonies, the British cannot treat the colonies as native lands.
Betzdorf said: "In Mindanao, a planned economy is fully implemented. What is a planned economy? Simply put, you must do what the government requires you to do, and you cannot do what is prohibited. If there are no regulations, you must also apply for it. You cannot Make your own decision.”
“There is a large amount of undeveloped land in Mindanao, so we must unite all efforts to develop the area and build this place as your new home.”
“When the Mindanao colony develops to a certain stage, you will do whatever you want.”
Having said that, even if Mindanao does develop in the future, it is obvious that things that are illegal and disorderly will not be done.
Betzdorf continued: "Of course, to make it easier for you to understand, you can think of the way the colony of Mindanao is managed today as military management."
“Of course, we don’t need you to fight, we just need to complete the production work, which in Mindanao includes logging, construction, land reclamation, entering mines and other mainstream work.”
"The allocation of materials is fully and vertically managed by the government, including your food, clothing, housing and transportation, which are entirely borne by the government. While enjoying these benefits, you will naturally have to pay a price until you are naturalized."
"After naturalization, you can choose your own career and control your time more freely like the citizens of Davao City today."
Of course, this also means that East Africa will no longer bear their minimum living security needs at that time. After all, the price of freedom is self-reliance.
At first glance, the former seems good, but based on the actual situation of the two, most people will choose the latter after a while.
Betzdorf then began to tell the group of Slavs about other things to pay attention to in Mindanao.
There are three immigrant study camps in Davao City, mainly targeting three groups, one is mainly Slavic immigrants, one is mainly immigrants from the Far Eastern Empire, and the last one is other immigrant types.
If the Germans choose to immigrate here, they obviously do not need to join the study camp. Of course, there are not many Germans immigrating to East Africa at present, and the Germans immigrating to the East African colonies are even rarer.
The three study camps in Davao City maintain a student population of around six to seven thousand students year-round, which is not included in the population of Davao City.
Most of them will not stay in Davao City for long. Davao City is a transit point. Generally, within two months, these immigrants will be redistributed to various places in the Mindanao colony. Most of the time, within a week or two It is possible to replace a group of people.
At the Davao City study camp, the main teaching is language, rules, and helping these immigrants initially adapt to the local climate.
In fact, being acclimatized is the biggest problem faced by immigrants, and many immigrants lose their lives due to this reason every year.
In fact, in the Nanyang colonies, the people most likely to die were the Slavs. After all, the climate contrast between Nanyang and the places where the Slavs lived was completely opposite. Not all Slavs can't stand this climate. For example, Yugoslavia in the Balkans has much better adaptability.
…
evening.
In the cafeteria of the study camp.
"This is rice, an East African food. It tastes weird, but such a big bowl is really solid and friendly to the teeth." Kumoyev said while holding up a spoonful of rice.
In Nanyang and East Africa, chopsticks are not equipped as tableware like they were in the original mainland, at least in the non-Far Eastern Empire immigrant study camps.
This can also be seen in East Africa's looseness on some details in its overseas colonies.
Lebulia said: "I heard from my seniors that in the future, this kind of rice will be the daily food in Mindanao."
“Because rice is the only food crop that can be grown on a large scale in Mindanao, it is not suitable for growing wheat, barley and other crops.”
During this era, Ukraine served as the large granary of Tsarist Russia, growing more than 80% of the wheat in Russia, as well as a large amount of barley, sugar beets and other crops.
Therefore, the staple food of Ukrainians is generally based on wheat and barley, but even so, Ukrainians live on the line of food and clothing.
After all, as an agricultural country, wheat exports accounted for a large part of Tsarist Russia's finances. In a relatively backward country like Tsarist Russia, land was basically concentrated in the hands of large landowners and nobles.
After all, some high-quality land is being snatched by people. From this point of view, farmers in Russia's Siberian region may have a better life than Ukrainians, provided that they have to overcome blocked transportation and a more difficult environment.
When it comes to Mindanao, the situation here has no reference in the entire Russian territory, regardless of language, customs, food, etc.
Kumoev said: "As long as it can fill the stomach, it doesn't matter what food is accepted, and East African people are very kind."
"In addition to rice, they also prepared meat and fruits. This should be sea fish. There are many fishing boats in Davao. This should be their main source of meat. In Ukraine, meat is rarely eaten, but it is There are more fish bones.”
Lebulia said: "It's good to have some. You still want to pick! And sea fish have much fewer bones than freshwater fish. It's good to get so much fish meat."
"There are also bananas and this kind of fruit that I don't know. Bananas are rare in Russia. I have only heard of them before, but in Davao City, bananas are everywhere."
The unfamiliar fruit that Lebulia mentioned was actually cut pineapple pieces. There are many orchards in Davao City, and these fruits are basically very cheap.
Of course, for the lower class people living in Russia, they most likely do not know the various local fruits.
Many Slavs have never even seen a banana. Although Russia was once a major banana importer in East Africa, bananas are obviously not something ordinary Russians can afford.
If it is a country such as Germany, or an economically developed area in Russia, the people there have different perspectives.
Even if they have not seen the real thing, they can make up for this through education. For example, in a country like Germany that implements comprehensive compulsory education, if you look for any German, their knowledge will be much better than most people in the world.
To these fruits, Kumoev only replied: "It's so sweet!"
In fact, there are a lot of fruits in Ukraine, and apples, cherries, etc. are relatively common, but this is the first time they have come into contact with fruits in tropical areas. Coupled with the difficult life recently, they will naturally have more subjective feelings.
