Chapter 102: Deception, then deception
"Sir, if East Africa is really what you said, that's not bad, but there are people in the next village who went to the United States, so it should be okay there! I heard that these two countries in the United States are The year has been going well!”
I also know about America! Eric Knight was a little surprised. It seemed that these villagers could still get some news.
"Where is the United States? If it was a good place before, it is now far inferior to the East African colonies. Do you know that the United States just ended the war not long ago?" Eric Knight asked rhetorically.
“I heard a few years ago that the United States was fighting fiercely, but wasn’t Germany also at war? Prussia and Austria had a fight a while ago. At that time, the Kingdom (Württemberg) was People are panicked," one villager said.
"Of course this is different. The war in Germany is to unify our nation so that we will not be bullied by outsiders in the future. But you may not know the inside story of the war in the United States. Let me tell you!"
Eri K. Knight mysteriously analyzed the "insider" information he knew with the villagers: "This America! It used to be like the East African colonies. There were not many people and the land was wasted. Of course, there were Indians in America, but they were killed by the British. Well, we all know that the British are rich, so they are lazy! As a result, the Indians were wiped out too quickly, and there was no one to work for them, so they recruited people from Africa and Europe to plant crops for them. "
Eric Knight returned to his seat, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then said: "This African has a black one. Standing in the dark, you can't see anyone at all."
"Sir, is this Africa related to the East Africa you mentioned?" a villager asked curiously.
“Of course, I think you have all heard of the slave trade. The British brought black people from Africa to the United States to farm, so there was no one on the African land, and the land was abandoned. That’s why we Germans went to develop the East African colonies,” Eric Knight said seriously.
"Bah, this Englishman is really no good, but I heard that this black man is not a good thing either. He looks like a monkey and is very stupid." A villager said.
“Almost, almost.” Eric Knight said cheerfully.
“The British are divided into two waves. One wave is from the South, who specialize in using black slaves to farm the land, and the other wave is from the North, who farm the land and also open factories. This British factory It’s not a fun thing to do. You have a dark heart! If you work day and night every day, the life of this worker will be short. These workers are all recruited from us, Italy and Ireland. Anyway, the British don’t feel bad about them. There is a way to survive!" Eric Knight said alarmingly.
"Everyone in this factory is gone. What should I do if there is a shortage of people? This factory cannot be stopped. Otherwise, why would the British be so rich? Is this the reason why northerners attack southern plantations? It was the idea of the black slaves in the country to let these black slaves work in the northern factories, but the British Door! If you don’t want to pay the British in the south, you just want to use people in vain. Do you agree to this?”
The villagers just listened to Eric Knight’s nonsense. Dan, someone said: "If you want me, I will definitely not agree."
"That's right! If you don't give money and want to prostitute workers for free, the southerners will definitely not agree, so the United States will start a war."
"It is also the southerners who are unlucky. They have never fought against the north, these black people Entering this factory run by northern Americans is very dangerous. Even though there are many black people, they cannot withstand such use! That’s why we need to continue to recruit people. I ask you, do you still want to go?” Rick Knight said.
"You definitely can't go!"
"That's right, I didn't expect Americans to be so dark-hearted. They are worthy of being descendants of the British."
The villagers talked a lot.
...
"Okay, Shen Jing, those who want to go to East Africa for development can start signing up now!"
Eric Knight stopped the talking villagers. "Sir, don't these East African colonies also want to open factories and imitate Americans?" asked a villager.
"Don't worry, everyone. The East African colonies are regular German colonies. They belong to us Germans. We are all compatriots. How can we imitate the British and abuse us Germans."
Eric Knight said, and at the same time he began to use his final trump card: "Everyone, maybe my words are not convincing. Next, I will ask the village chief to verify it."
There has been a dispute between the village chiefs. Sitting aside without speaking, he now spoke: "Don't worry, everyone, this East African colony is our German territory. It will be no different from being in Germany when you go there. Do you know which big man's territory this East African colony belongs to?"< br>
The villagers shook their heads.
"You should know the name of Prussia, right?"
"Village chief, I know, people now say that Prussia is the leader of Germany, and Austria has never fought against it."
"That's the reason. This East African colony is the territory of the Prussian Prince of Hechingen. It is all populated by our own Germans. The Prince of Hechingen is a top noble and his reputation is very reliable. That is to say, he has our German place in mind. It’s too small, there are too many people, and there is not enough land, so we went overseas to open up East African colonies so that we Germans can live a good life, so if you don’t have land to farm, sign up quickly and don’t miss the opportunity,” the village chief said.
"Village Chief, is the news reliable?" a villager asked.
"Why did I lie to you? This news was told to me personally by Knight Von Clay in the town. He said that it was confirmed by our Kingdom of Württemberg, and the news is absolutely reliable and true."
"That is, His Royal Highness the Prince of Hechingen, who is kind-hearted and takes care of us Germans. The Prince of Hechingen is a big noble in Prussia who can talk to the king. His territory is next to Württemberg, so We are locals, so we think of you when good things happen," the village chief said.
"Don't think about going to the city to find a job. Do you know any crafts or have you gone to school? There is no place for you in the city. As for the United States, if you have connections, it doesn't matter if you go. Don't waste your efforts if you don't have any way. Can the British give you free benefits? It's good to have your own people go, it won't be your turn."
"It's going to be different when you go to the East African colonies. You'll still be doing your old job. Farmers are doing the work of crops, and no one can deceive you. Our ancestors have been doing this for generations, and no one can deceive you. Okay, I'll tell you. There are so many, and they are all just a piece of cake anyway, so I will definitely have to The only difference between going to our own place in Germany is that one is in Europe and the other is overseas. The overseas area is still the land of our Germans, which means we have not left Germany. If you are interested, sign up as soon as possible, don't waste time," the village chief said.
......
After deliberation for a day and a night, most farmers without land chose to sign up. Most of them were young people with small families and no land to choose from, so they chose to go out to sea to make a living. .
Those who originally had the idea of going to the United States gave up their plans to go to the United States due to rumors from the staff of the Hechingen Foundation, and instead chose to go to East Africa. After all, East Africa has official certification.
The same scene appears in Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria... and even in northern Austria, which borders Austria.
The first mass migration of Germans into East Africa began.
