Chapter 505 Speeding up
There are also experts in water conservancy in East Africa, but the number is very small, and the professionalism is not as high as that of Germany and Austria. Therefore, with the support of these talents, the construction of national water conservancy projects in East Africa can be completed more easily.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Is your plan a bit crazy? The area of East Africa is too huge. If water conservancy facilities in East Africa are built according to your requirements, will you be able to afford it in a very short period of time?"
It is no wonder that German experts were suspicious. The circles Ernst randomly drew on the map seemed to be larger than the area of Germany and Austria. These were the main plantation areas in East Africa.
Ernst explained: "You don't have to worry about this. We have sufficient human resources to support such long-term national project construction."
"Well! Your Royal Highness, please allow me to ask, are the citizens of East Africa able to bear this much?"
Ernst: "You have misunderstood. The cheapest labor force in Africa is black people, and the main force in the construction of this project is also black people, so you can just go ahead and do it with confidence."
After hearing what Ernst said, the German water conservancy experts curled their lips and said in their hearts: "It turns out he is a slave trader!"
Ernst didn't know the slander in their hearts, and he didn't care if he knew it. As long as he could build East Africa better, what would it matter if he had to bear these slanders himself?
Moreover, things like building water conservancy can easily lead to mixed results. Take the Sui-Tang Grand Canal, for example. Everyone admits that Emperor Yang of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was a foolish emperor. The Grand Canal of the Sui-Tang Dynasty did waste people and money, but the Grand Canal of the Sui-Tang Dynasty was enough to make Emperor Yang of the Sui and Tang Dynasties an eternity. emperor.
Ernst has no plans to build a super canal of more than 2,000 kilometers. It is entirely aimed at improving agricultural production and construction.
However, German experts are not wrong at all when they call East Africa slave traders. As two countries without many overseas colonies, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had no chance of becoming slave traders even if they wanted to.
After arranging these experts, Ernst, the world's largest slave owner, began to deal with the black army trained in the last East-Portuguese War.
Although the East-Portugal War was not long, it lasted for half a year. By the end of the war, East Africa had trained more than 90,000 black soldiers.
With such unstable factors, Ernst originally planned to send them directly to America. However, when the operation was carried out, he encountered a small problem.
“Your Royal Highness, these black people have been trained by us and many of them have learned a word or two of German. It would be great fun if Americans noticed them.”
“Do Americans still care about this? Besides, knowing a word or two of German shouldn’t be discovered!”
"Mainly our customer base, many of whom are farmers operating in the western United States, many of whom are of German descent. The black people we sent before reported that the slaves sold in East Africa had a German accent. Fortunately, they also Even if you turn a blind eye, this group of black people have received military training and know some professional military terms. This may be a problem..."
Ernst’s words confused his subordinates: “Your Highness, what do you think?”
"Don't break up the black army yet, find an English teacher for them, teach them English for a month, and then send them to the United States. This method can be used for other slaves who are sure to be sold to the United States." "Well, Your Highness, I have to say Your method is too damaging!"
“Haha, remember, the first sentence you teach them is MAKEAMERICAGREATAGAIN.” Ernst said in a wicked way.
The subordinates listened to Ernst’s arrangement with a strange expression, but what the **** is making America great again?
And how to make the United States great again? Does it rely on the black people sent from East Africa to North America? However, if you think about it, the rapid development of the United States is inseparable from black people. It is correct to say that black people have made the United States a success. This is not the case in East Africa. Without the efforts of black people in East Africa, East Africa would not have been able to develop so fast.
Seeing that Bei was meditating on the side, Ernst said: "Black people are excellent resources, but these excellent resources should go where they should go. If reasonable things are placed in mismatched places, they are garbage, so we must make full use of them." The greatest role for black people can only be achieved by sending them to the United States."
The subordinate didn’t know what Ernst meant by this, but his focus was on the word garbage.
Black people are indeed a high-quality labor resource in this era. After all, they have been commercialized and have obvious advantages over other races. Colonies of various countries are also rushing to introduce them. Only countries in East Africa and Argentina dislike the large number of black people.
Like the French in West Africa, they need a lot of labor to develop plantations, so the slave trade still exists in Africa. Now a slave trade route has been formed within Africa, that is, black people in East Africa use the black forces in West Africa such as the Msiri regime to Blacks from East Africa were sent to West Africa and sold to white planters in France.
"We want to add some support to the United States' westward expansion. I heard that the population there is small, so we will send them more labor. After all, the price is affordable and the quality is good. Americans should really thank me in the future." Ernst said Said with good intentions.
Of course, the United States will definitely not be able to afford it. South American countries are also the main slave markets in East Africa. Ernst just wants to see the world's racial melting pot develop further in the future.
In Ernst’s view, if American farmers and business owners buy less modern production tools and more black people, that would be a victory for East Africa. Therefore, even if he loses money every year to send black people to the United States, Ernst is willing to do so.
First set a small goal to increase the number of black people in the United States to 20%. This is indeed a small goal compared with East Africa. The number of black people in East Africa is estimated to be between 40% and 50%. between.
In 1879, the proportion of blacks in the United States was about 15%. To increase the proportion of blacks in the United States to 20%, at least three million more blacks would need to be imported into the United States.
With the addition of three million black people, the total number of black people in the United States can exceed 10 million. At that time, the total population of the United States should be between 50 million and 60 million. The number of black people in East Africa will also drop by one level. Then The total number of blacks in both countries is likely to be the same.
Ernst's idea of black people is to use them to delay the development of the United States, and it is best to reduce the number of European immigrants to the United States. After all, black people in the United States do not have the right to education, which means that these black people can only remain in a low-income society. End industry work.
As long as the United States does not use the same methods as it did to the Indians, Ernst believes that the United States will develop along the path he envisioned in the future, and it will be more violent than in the previous life.
Thinking of this, Ernst ordered: "This year, we will withdraw 20% of our ships in the Far East immigration business and invest them in the American immigration transportation route. I want to speed up the development of the United States."
