Chapter 896 "Grassland" Great Migration
Of course, compared with countries like the Far Eastern Empire that have strong traditional agriculture and attach great importance to the construction of water conservancy facilities, East Africa is still far behind, but compared with some countries in Europe and the United States. Compared with developed countries and regions, water conservancy facilities in central and eastern East Africa are already quite complete, not to mention some countries and regions that are more backward and sparsely populated.
In fact, the two national water conservancy construction projects in East Africa are completely out of the question. The purpose of the East African government or Ernst is to use one generation to complete the development path of other countries that has taken hundreds or even thousands of years. .
Water conservancy construction is the blood vessel of agriculture. It is a hard work that must be done, and there is no shortcut. Therefore, it can only be completed by means of "iron and blood". Of course, the indigenous people are the main force in bleeding. .
……
As the East African government finalized all the details, the second national water conservancy construction project began in a mighty manner. This time the East African government had the experience of the first national water conservancy construction project, so it was more comfortable to mobilize national efforts.
“Go to the west, go to the south, go where the motherland needs you!”
Although East Africa is a country of immigrants, the slogan description also uses the “patriotic” card, In fact, there are now more native-born residents of East Africa than immigrants.
And the main target of this mobilization is the new generation of young and strong labor force in East Africa. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the second national water conservancy construction project, East Africa plans to conduct a national population migration to the west and south at the same time, completely Change the situation in which central and eastern parts of East Africa dominate.
Actually, the three places of Angola, Mozambique and Orange now have a certain foundation after years of construction in East Africa. This is the reason for the great migration in East Africa this time. Base.
Moreover, this immigration mainly targets the agricultural field. As for industrial immigration activities, it has long been carried out simultaneously with the industrial transfer.
Western Great Lakes Province, Kagera City, Kegel Village.
“According to national requirements, each household with a large family population is required to send at least one person to work in the less developed areas in the west and south. Our West Great Lakes Province is a key area for this immigration. You must actively cooperate The government took action to achieve this mission target," said Andre, the head of Kegel Village.
Andre's words naturally caused a small stir among the villagers. After all, immigration is never a simple matter, involving all aspects, and every immigration means the "split" of some families.
However, immigration did not cause big trouble. After all, this is already normal for the people of East Africa. People in East Africa migrate from densely populated areas to other places every year. Even the small village of Kegel has a large number of people migrating to other places every year. Many young people left and moved to various parts of the country, but this time the East African government took a bigger step.
"Andre, why is the immigration momentum so big this time?" a villager asked, calling him by his first name.
“This is actually very understandable. The last time our country expanded its territory, it seized a lot of land from the Portuguese and the Boers. In order to control and develop these new territories, manpower is naturally needed. Although we had controlled several places before There is immigration activity, but it can only be regarded as an appetizer.”
“Now, after several years of governance, Angola, Mozambique and other places have a very impressive social security and economic foundation, so on this basis. , in order to balance regional development, it is natural to further increase the number of immigrants.”
To put it simply, in the past few years, the East African government has solved the unstable factors in these new regions, and coupled with the needs of national development, Along with the need for infrastructure construction such as water conservancy, the East African government plans to directly turn Mozambique, Angola and other places into the core territories of East Africa in one step. "Don't take chances in this matter. After all, as a backward country in East Africa, if we want to develop, we must take strong medicine. Moreover, it is just a change to a new living area. If you go to a new place, your life will not be as good as before." It’s a big change, after all, it’s all the same East Africa, it’s different wherever you go!” Andre emphasized.
"And this immigration activity is much simpler than it was more than ten years ago. Nowadays, railways and highways are more developed than before, and it doesn't take too long to travel to all parts of the country. If we push the time forward ten years, then Immigration is the real hard work. Needless to say, many old people in the village can recall the difficult years in East Africa.”
Andre’s words did arouse the memories of some old immigrants. Going back to the Eurasian continent, it will only be more miserable.
After more than a month of preparation, the first batch of people relocating from Kegel Village finally reached more than 100 people, and there may be a second and third phase later... until the needs of the East African government are met.
As a large agricultural province, Western Great Lakes Province’s natural population growth rate is extremely terrifying in East Africa, so this immigration activity will not harm the local economic development.
It can even be said that the population pressure has been reduced. After all, as a large agricultural province, West Great Lakes Province only has so many agricultural resources, but the population growth rate is not slow. If it were not for the continuous loss of population and lack of industrial support, Under the current situation, per capita resources will only become less and less, leading to poverty mode. If the population continues to grow disorderly and the industrial structure does not change much, then India and East Asian countries may be the future of the Western Great Lakes Province.
Therefore, the West Great Lakes Provincial Government is supportive of population loss, although the agricultural potential of West Great Lakes Province itself has not yet been fully developed.
With population migration and project construction, a large number of people are transported through East Africa's railways and highways to all parts of the country. Many families bid farewell with tears. The same scene continues to play out in various eastern regions.
The central region is slightly better, with the population second only to the eastern region. However, the central region is far from being comparable to the eastern region, so it is not the main force of immigration this time. However, due to the transfer of backward production capacity, the industry in the central region has The population transfer to other areas is greater than that to the east.
According to statistics of later generations of East Africans, from 1894 to 1900, at least more than eight million people immigrated from East Africa to Angola, Mozambique and other places, completely changing the population distribution of East Africa, making the west and south The regional population rose to tens of millions in a short period of time.
Of course, the value created by these people’s local development and construction will only be reflected in the next century.
This mighty national migration activity is known as the "Great Migration of East African Grasslands." As a country with a tropical grassland climate, the great migration of animals in the East African grasslands is quite spectacular, but this time it is the migration of East African people. So use this to describe this East African population migration.
Of course, with the development of East African countries, the so-called Great Migration of grassland animals has actually become increasingly difficult to see in later generations, except in places such as the Serengeti. East African population migration and engineering construction have had a great impact on the local area. The squeeze on the living space of wild animals is very obvious.
This population migration has also been talked about by all countries in later generations. After all, as a country that has become a world power in a short period of time, many people are very interested in the rise of East Africa.
The rapid rise of large cities such as Luanda, Cabinda and Beira in East Africa in later years is also considered to be related to this population migration, making them become a group of well-known large cities in the world in the 20th century. .
