Chapter 366 "Reciprocity"

"According to news from New York, more than 2,000 people set out from Chicago on the first day. In the next few days, the number of immigrants may exceed 10,000. According to Chicago's current situation Under the circumstances, we should be able to tap the potential of tens of thousands of immigrants..."

"Well, Thomas, there are many Germans in North America, which we cannot ignore. People in the Immigration Department must learn to go deeper. The grassroots of the United States, especially rural areas and port cities in the United States, need to focus on it. It is best to persuade some immigrants to return from the United States when they first arrive in the United States."

"Your Highness. , to persuade them to return to Europe? "

"Anywhere is fine! It's best not to stay in the United States. Of course, you people in the Immigration Department must do your best and not arouse the suspicion of Americans."< br>


"Your Highness, don't worry about this! The U.S. government is in name only, and our people should not encounter any problems."

"I'm not talking about the U.S. government, but Americans, especially the American consortiums. They are the masters behind the United States. What do you think the consequences will be if they discover the matter of immigrating from the United States? "

Thomas immediately reacted. The U.S. government may usually be harmless to humans and animals, but if it is provoked, The interest groups behind them became a big problem. The outbreak of the Civil War was essentially a war waged by northern capitalists in the United States to plunder the labor, raw materials, and markets of southern slave owners, especially their greed for labor. The United States is endless. The immigration of East Africans from the United States is completely digging into the roots of the United States.

But thinking about the labor force, Thomas suddenly had an idea in his mind. He said to Ernst: "Your Highness, can we resume the slave trade in the United States?"

Hearing Thomas say this, Ernst immediately understood: "You mean black people!"

"That's right, Your Highness, since we are recruiting immigrants in the United States, it would be rude not to return the favor. There are not many other black people in East Africa. Can we try to import black people to the United States to replace our immigration from the United States? Excavation of white people can also cover up the fact that we steal people from the United States.”
Ernst affirmed: "The idea is good, but how do we implement it! How to bypass the slave trade is a big problem!"

In fact, Ernst has long thought of this. He did it, but he didn’t have the ability at the time. Now that Thomas mentioned it, Ernst thought he could give it a try.

Thomas did not answer the question directly, but asked instead: "Your Highness, have you ever heard of the country Haiti?"

"Of course, a small country in the Caribbean!"


Of course Ernst had heard of Haiti. It was a country in the previous life where the people were so hungry that they ate dirt, and it was also a model of capitalist democracy. Its system and laws were exactly the same as those of the American lighthouse. The only difference was that Haiti had too many people. And it's not as vast as the United States.

But that was in the 21st century. The current conditions in Haiti are still quite good. Although it is poor, the population has not reached the exaggeration of the previous life. The resources on the island can still sustain the survival of Haitians. At least he won't be reduced to eating dirt.

Haiti was once known as the Pearl of the Antilles and was the richest colony in the world. In the 1750s, Haiti provided 50% of France's gross national product. The sugar, coffee, cocoa, tobacco, cotton, and indigo produced were continuously shipped to France, where they were refined, processed, and sold to various parts of Europe, creating unimaginable wealth.

Under such conditions, Haiti has not developed. In addition to its own reasons, the most important reason is the long-term blockade by the international community.

After the revolution of 1804, Haiti became the first black republic. At this time, the United States and Britain were still slave countries. The international community believes that Haiti's free slave country model is a dangerous precedent, fearing that other slave countries will follow suit and boycott Haitian goods, plunging the Haitian economy into chaos.

The Haitian government is eager to be recognized by France and Europeans. France naturally refused to recognize the land unless compensation was paid, and eventually, in 1838, Haitian President Boyer accepted a debt of 150 million francs to pay the compensation.

This debt plus interest has plagued the Haitian economy for more than 80 years, and historically it was not repaid until 1922. Carrying huge debts has prevented Haiti from building infrastructure such as roads, water, sewage and electricity.

The 150 million francs at that time was a sky-high price. This debt was spread to the Haitians who had just become independent and had a population of only 300,000 to 400,000 people. That is, the debt was close to 400 francs per capita. At that time, Paris, the capital of France, The workers' wages were only about three francs a day.

Today, Haiti is still repaying its debts, and the government is as bad as a pile of mud. Haiti is rapidly transforming from the pearl of the Antilles to a "cesspit" country in its previous life.

Thomas: "Your Highness, you are such a knowledgeable person. You have even heard of a country as small as Haiti."

Ernst: "Okay, stop flattering me. Since you mentioned Haiti, do you want to cause trouble in this country?"

Thomas: "Yes, Your Highness, didn't we just say that we want to make trouble in this country?" The United States imports black people, and Haiti is a good springboard."

Ernst asked: "Then why not countries closer to the United States, such as Cuba and Mexico?" "The reason is simple, Your Highness, Haiti is. A black country, while Cuba and Mexico are not, and most importantly, the Haitian government is corrupt enough. As far as I know, as long as you give money, there is nothing you can’t do in Haiti,” Thomas replied.

Ernst: "Then you want to use these two points to make a fuss in Haiti!"

Thomas: "Yes, it is relatively rare to directly import black people to the United States. It will easily attract the attention of international anti-slave trade organizations and countries, which is extremely detrimental to East Africa. Therefore, if we want to import black people to the United States, we must cover the slave trade. Putting on a coat and making it impossible for the international community to grasp it, Haiti's identity as a black nation is very advantageous.

First of all, Haiti. Since Haiti is a black country, it is logical for Haiti to introduce black immigrants. No one can question it. Secondly, Haiti has legally abolished slavery, although slaves have only become free slaves. This is the same as East African "laborers". The same, so the slave trade to Haiti will not attract the attention of the international community, because there are no "slaves" in Haiti itself. In the end, Haiti's economic difficulties, we We can import black people to Haiti under the guise of trade, aid, etc.

In this way, morally, we in East Africa will be on an invincible ground, and even if other countries find out, they will not be able to blame us. ”

Ernst: "You are right, but how do you make the Haitian government willingly take over the black people in East Africa, and what does this have to do with importing black people to the United States? ?”

“Don’t be impatient, Your Highness, listen to me first. The way to let Haiti take over the black people is very simple. First, we can bribe the current supreme ruler of Haiti and give him a sum of money every year. Let him sign a decree agreeing to emigrate from Africa. The Haitian government is unstable, so we can pay a deposit annually. The money will be given to whoever is the president of Haiti

Not only that, if this road is blocked, we can also bribe the Haitian customs officials and get them to acquiesce in the importation of people from East Africa like Haiti. The customs certificate can also allow us to legally import black people to Haiti.

If the customs still doesn't work, we can continue to look for other government departments in Haiti. The reasons are endless. The entire Haitian government is a sieve, leaking everywhere, and it is impossible to prevent us from importing black people to Haiti.

However, based on the integrity of the Haitian government, I judge that the Haitian president has never been an upright and upright person, so just bribing the president can be achieved. "

Ernst praised: "Very good, what you said is true. I have no doubt about the integrity of the Haitian government. "

Thomas continued: "After opening up the entrance to Haiti to import black people, we can directly help the Haitian government establish an embassy in East Africa to issue identity certificates for Haitians. We in East Africa will then clear out the need from East Africa. population will become Haitian nationality, so that East Africa will have nothing to do with the slave trade.

But to be on the safe side, I have another plan, which is to disguise these "Haitians" as sailors and workers on the ship, add some food, and send these "Haitians" to the sea under the guise of caring about the famine in Haiti and aiding the Haitian people. Republic of Haiti. "

Ernst: "It doesn't matter. It's a good deal to waste some food and send the natives away. ”

That is to say, Ernst thinks it is a good deal. In fact, most countries and colonies currently feel that there is a shortage of labor force. For example, various colonies in France are thinking of introducing more black slaves. However, they generally Grab it directly from the surroundings

However, Thomas’s so-called plan to aid Haiti is too damaging. The little food sent by East Africa may not be enough to be digested by the East African natives in Haiti. After all, it is to help Haiti survive. Whether to survive the famine or increase the famine is a matter of discussion.

Thomas: "Finally, and most importantly, if Haiti takes over the East African indigenous people, its native land will inevitably not be able to support such a large population. ”

Ernst expressed doubts. In the previous life, Haiti could feed more than 10 million people by eating soil. Now Haiti's population is almost pitiful and can be fully affordable. Besides, there is a Dominican next door who can share the pressure, but Ernst does not Say it, and he waits for Thomas to finish.

Thomas: "The Haitian government will not care about the life and death of these people. These populations will inevitably overflow, and we must help Haiti to establish a population overflow channel. This channel is the Caribbean Sea, and the end point is the plantation in the southern United States. Plants, get in touch with the original owners of the plantations, they will take the initiative to absorb these people for their own benefit."

This is true. Although the slave owners in the South were severely weakened by the northern capitalists, But I am still dissatisfied, especially the liberation of black slaves, which caused the southern slave owners to lose a lot of benefits. Therefore, there are not enough black slaves in the United States. If there were enough, everyone would not need to rob them, and the Civil War would be greatly affected. degree avoided.

The reason for the shortage of slaves in the United States is still the opposition to the slave trade led by Britain and France. It is essentially a restriction on late-developing countries like the United States, which rely on slaves to make a fortune. The proof is that they banned the slave trade, but they themselves There are a large number of slaves in the colonies, a typical double standard.

If East Africa could open up a black transportation line from East Africa to Haiti and then to the United States, then the southern planters would definitely take over.

Because of the Caribbean, the United States itself can speak for itself. If it is just to send black people from Haiti to the United States, it will not be difficult at all, and even the freight will not cost a few dollars.

Then, these plantation owners sign employment contracts with these black people for 20 to 30 years, which are basically the same as "black slaves". When they are used up, they can just fire them. These black people will eventually will be scattered all over the United States.

Although this would mean that East Africa would have to bear the bulk of the cost of transporting black people, and there would even be no profit, and they would have to pay for entry, but Ernst was willing to bear such a cost.
