Chapter 346 Immigration Transition Point
Far East Assistance Mission?
After hearing that the aid group came from the Far East, the staff of the Dar es Salaam city government looked bewildered.
The staff said to Aryan in German: "Sir! We don't know that there is a Far East Assistance Mission. There is no relevant news on the work schedule."
Aryan: "This matter is actually led by the East African diplomatic mission in the Far East, but you also know that there is no telegraph line connection between East Africa and the Far East, so the news is transmitted slowly, and the result is embarrassing that the news has not yet arrived. , this is my work permit, which can prove what I said."
In fact, no work permit is required, and the city government staff believed what Aryan said. A yellow man who speaks German so well, and his uniform work suit in East Africa, all show that he is an East African German.
East African Germans are the only ones in the world, and their main features are yellow and white, and those who wear suits like Aryan are at least teachers in East Africa.
The white people in East Africa know a concept, that is, there is a group of people of the yellow race, who are the direct descendants of the royal family and have considerable strength in the government and the army, that is, a group of college students mainly from the Hexingen Military Academy. His education is all about loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and he is quite trusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This also resulted in the fact that the yellow race has influence and real power from the central to the grassroots. Although it is not as good as the pure Germans, it is much higher than the Slavs, Italians, and Paraguayans...
On the surface, it looks like the same dual system as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but in fact the core is completely different, because the East African Kingdom has realized the German-Chinese unity similar to the Manchu-Han unity preached by the ruling nations in the Far East.
And more thoroughly, intermarriage of various ethnic groups has been realized, and the number of combined families has occupied the main body in East Africa. From the second generation of East Africans onwards, there is no so-called theory of race. To put it bluntly, it is all strings.
If you look for the most similar example to East Africa in history, it is the Hui people formed by the integration of Mongolia, Chinese and some descendants of Green Christians in the Far East in the Yuan Dynasty.
It’s just that one uses religious integration, and the other relies on German cultural identity to integrate. As for what German culture is, the first one is German. Everyone speaks German, which has already left the Austro-Hungarian Empire without a unified language. I can't see it. In addition, in East Africa, everyone's living environment is basically the same, and gradually a unified three views will be formed.
Staff: "I can't decide this matter, I have to report it to the supervisor first, please wait a moment."
Aryan: "Yes, but how long will it take?"
Staff: "It will be ready soon."
Half an hour later.
Dar es Salaam Immigration Office: "Mr. Aryan, we are from the Dar es Salaam Immigration Office. According to the instructions above, please stay in Dar es Salaam for a few days. After three days, the central government will send people to meet you."
Aryan: "This is no problem, but how should we solve our board and lodging problem?"
Immigration Agency: "We have vacated some transitional dormitories for immigrants. You can live there for a short period of time. You can eat in the cafeteria. If you have any needs, you can talk to our people. We are professional."
Aryan: "Then I will trouble you!"
Immigration Agency: "You're welcome, we accept tens of thousands of immigrants every year, and these are minor problems."
So Aryan walked out of the municipal service hall and began to explain the situation to Li Ge and others who were waiting outside.
Aryan: "...So, we should stay at the immigration point for a few days, but I don't know the situation there, but we have contacted the central government, and they will send someone to pick us up, explaining that it is still important for you. Very important."
Li Ge: "Mr. Aryan, I have a question that I really can't express. Why didn't your country arrange us in advance! Instead, you are in a hurry now?"
Aryan: "This matter is indeed part of our embassy's responsibility, but it is more of a procedural error, and we did not expect your government to care about East Africa so much that it took the initiative to send people to East Africa for assistance, so that Richard The German ambassador has no countermeasures."
At the beginning, the Kingdom of East Africa just hoped that the Far East government could make it easier for East Africa to collect prescriptions, learn medical technology, and recruit medical personnel in the Far East.
I didn't expect them to be too generous. They took the initiative to organize an official medical team to go to East Africa for free consultation at their own expense. Naturally, Ambassador Richard couldn't make them wait too long. Where can I find such a good thing? What if they stopped going to East Africa because they were made to wait too long? It would take half a month at the fastest to deliver news to East Africa, so Richard made a decisive decision and let them go to sea.
Li Ge and the others calmed down after hearing Aryan's explanation. Fortunately, it was a misunderstanding, otherwise he really thought that the Germans deliberately neglected the Celestial Dynasty!
Aryan: "It's good that you can understand!"
Afterwards, under the arrangement of the Immigration Department, the dock workers loaded the luggage of a group of people into the hired carriage, and then they went to the immigration transition point.
Li Ge and the others looked at the carriage they were riding in curiously. This kind of western-style carriage looks very weird, and it cannot be seen in the Far East, but it feels quite comfortable to sit on, without too much bumpy feeling. The experience is higher than that of an oriental carriage, but It's a little worse than a sedan chair.
There are windows on the carriage, and you can see the scene outside the window. The houses, streets, and pedestrians on the road have retreated one after another. Even if you have seen the street scene of Dar es Salaam before, it is still a bit novel, especially those three or five-story "high-rise buildings" "The building is simple and solemn, with different shapes, and there are poles (gas street lamps) that can be seen everywhere on the street. I don't know what it is, but glazed tiles are installed, which are square and somewhat like lanterns.
I don’t know how long I’ve been driving, when suddenly the carriage was stopped, and I encountered a checkpoint again, just like the one who blocked my group before, a few East African policemen were here, standing guard with live ammunition, but there seemed to be no buildings ahead, just a road paved in the In the countryside, I don't know where it leads.
The city of Dar es Salaam seems to come to an abrupt end here. To the north is a bustling scene, while to the south, all the buildings suddenly disappear and return to the wilderness.
"Brother Shiyan! Why are you suddenly in the wilderness? These Germans don't know..." Ander said.
"Don't think about it, if Westerners really want to do something, they don't pay attention to etiquette, justice and shame. There are people stationed here, so there should be some important place ahead!" Li Ge comforted himself.
At this time, the police had already checked the documents of the immigration agency, "Let's go!"
The carriage started heading towards an unknown place. The suburbs of Dar es Salaam were deserted, full of weeds and trees, and the plants were quite different from those in the Far East. After an unknown period of time, the carriage stopped again.
Aryan came to announce: "We are here!"
Li Ge and the others got out of the carriage. Looking forward, it looked like a big camp with rows of houses neatly arranged. Compared with the houses in Dar es Salaam, they were completely different.
If you let Li Ge and others see it, it is the same as the courtyard house in the capital, arranged in an orderly manner, but more regular, and most of them are in rows.
The person from the Immigration Department introduced: "This is the transition point for immigrants. Those houses are dormitories for immigrants. They can accommodate more than 2,000 people at the same time. We are in the 23rd District and have prepared dormitories for you, together with a separate public bathroom. And the public toilets are for your use, and you eat in the management canteen with our staff."
Afterwards, the immigration staff took Li Ge and his party to look at their room.
"Each house here is for eight people, but considering that you are distinguished guests, there are four people in one room. You can choose the upper and lower bunks at will. Although the environment is simple, it is very clean. We will send someone to help you clean it every day."
This is considered preferential treatment. In fact, the hygiene at the immigration transition point is generally cleaned up by the immigrants themselves. The Immigration Department is only responsible for regular daily inspections, but Li Ge and others are VIPs, so the treatment is different.
"There are a lot of mosquitoes in East Africa, so we will provide you with mosquito coils and mosquito nets, but the mosquito nets need to be dispatched, so I can only use mosquito coils tonight. Each room is equipped with tables, chairs and benches. If you need to organize documents, you can use them. "
"Also, the temperature may drop faster at night, so we have prepared clean mattresses for you, and the logistics warehouse will send them over later. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"No more!" Li Ge and others said.
This condition is much better than what I and others thought. According to some people in the Far East government, East Africa is almost described as a **** on earth, but now it seems that "hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I!"
But this East African kingdom now looks much better than most places in the Far East. How did they have the cheek to ask the court for help!
Along the way, Li Ge and others found that East Africa was not only bustling and bustling, but also did not see a dilapidated place. It should be that people are panicking.
But this also made Li Ge and Ander feel relieved. As the principal and deputy envoys of the aid group, they were actually "scapegoats" launched by the Far East government, and they were even quickly promoted temporarily.
The medical team led by the two was actually temporarily formed by the non-governmental doctors in the Zhili area who were kept in the dark. Unlike Li Ge and Ander, they still had "gossip" from their colleagues and knew the "true face" of East Africa. ".
Although the East African Kingdom is a "wild country" created by a German warrior in the eyes of the Far Eastern government, the East African Kingdom sent diplomats to the Far Eastern government at the ambassadorial level. It is a special existence among Western countries, and it is the only one that "admires" the Chinese dynasty Western countries with medical skills greatly satisfy the vanity of the Far East government, so reciprocity is a must.
But they really didn’t want big shots to come to East Africa. After all, even the British envoy said that Africa is a barren land where malaria is rampant.
So Li Ge and Ander, who were of low status and had no background, were sent to the Kingdom of East Africa as envoys. Having said that, in fact, Li Ge and Ander themselves were not bad. Both of them were born in the north.
