Chapter 1065 Black Paradise
Even if black people are included in the total population data of East Africa, their proportion is only about 5%, while the black population in the United States accounts for about 14% of the total population of the United States. It has surpassed East Africa to become the world's largest black country.
Yes, through the "efforts" of East Africa, the United States has become the country with the largest black population in the world. Although West Africa is the hometown of black people, the West African countries are fragmented and further divided by European and American colonists, which makes The black population in a single country or colony in West Africa is far from comparable to that in East Africa or the United States.
Although there are only more than seven million black people left in East Africa, given the generally low productivity in West Africa, it is difficult for a single black country to have a population exceeding this number. For example, Nigeria, which had the largest population in Africa in its previous life, is now Nigeria is still just a geographical concept, with many countries and tribes spread over it, as well as colonies from countries such as the United Kingdom.
The population of the whole territory may be more than ten million, but it cannot be regarded as a country. It can be divided into at least two British protectorates of Nigeria, the Kingdom of South Germany (occupied part), and local indigenous forces.
The Abyssinian Empire has a population of over ten million, but Abyssinia is a mixed race and is not a single black country. Especially in East Africa, after excluding the black areas in Ethiopia and the south in the previous life, the entire Abyssinian population Among them, black ancestry actually accounts for a smaller proportion.
“Today’s illegal workers will be used for more than ten years at most, and they will probably wither away naturally. This also means that our country’s economic development will face a transformation problem.” said East African Transport Minister Derich.
Black people in East Africa are basically adult males. Even if East Africa wants to use them as "perpetual motion machines", their lifespan constraints will not allow it. With their lifespan, they will be considered longevity if they last more than ten years. .
The reduction in the number of black people is obviously detrimental to the current industrial development in East Africa, because black people are the cheapest labor force in East Africa and have made great contributions to the early development and later industrial construction of East Africa.
“Eliminating the role of black people in our country’s industries is an inevitable path for our country’s economic development. We cannot always rely on external labor to support our country’s development, and the jobs held by black people are concentrated at the lowest end. The industry can be completely replaced by local people, but it is not as easy as black people.”
"However, this does not have much impact on us. At present, our country's development and transformation of the whole country has been basically completed, and a relatively systematic water conservancy, railway, and highway transportation network has been built. This also means that the most difficult time has passed. "Compared with other parts of the world, our conditions in East Africa are not bad," said Sweet.
Derich: "According to the preliminary development goals for this century, our country still has at least 100,000 kilometers of railways, millions of kilometers of roads that have not been completed, and more water conservancy projects that have not been completed. At the same time, many of them have risks. Industries such as the mining industry require black labor. "
"And our country's level of mechanization is not very high. It will take at least several decades to achieve a high degree of mechanization. Before that, black people have to work hard. Labor can greatly save our costs.”
For East African government departments such as the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the Ministry of Railways, the importance of black labor is particularly prominent. Before East Africa, there was no decent road in East Africa today. roads, not to mention a railway or a canal, and the early transportation, water conservancy, and agricultural development in East Africa can be said without exaggeration to be supported by black people.
Of course, with the growth of population, black people are no longer needed in most fields in East Africa, such as agriculture. East Africa has completely eliminated black people. Nowadays, the application of black people in East Africa is mainly concentrated in infrastructure construction and extraction. In business.
Sweet said: "The elimination of black workers is a basic national policy. Due to their age, many black workers eat more than they work, so we cannot just wait for natural elimination. We also need to restore part of the shipping business and send them to West Africa. ”
Due to large-scale infrastructure construction, East Africa has not exported black slaves for more than ten years. After all, the slave trade also carries huge risks.
Of course, as Sweet said, it is a good idea to find a way to send these older blacks to West Africa. These overage blacks are basically of no use value to East Africa.
The simple exile of them to West Africa is also related to the slave trade. After all, the essence of trade is exchange. East Africa did not gain any benefits in the process, so it naturally does not count as "slave trade". And the operation is relatively simple. Trade between East Africa, Western Europe, and the Americas is becoming increasingly frequent, so most ships on the west coast will pass through West Africa. Each time they carry a little bit, they can throw these black people to West Africa.
After all, East Africa is a "hell" for black people, or they can live out their old age peacefully in West Africa. Although West Africa is now also the territory of colonists from all sides, it is better than a place like East Africa without any human rights.
Looking around the world, black people in the United States now have the third highest status among black people in the world. The first and second are Haiti and Liberia, two countries that are deeply related to the United States. Haiti is considered a U.S. economic radiation area, while Liberia is almost equivalent to a U.S. colony.
Nowadays, black people on the African continent have basically lost their freedom. Although black people in the United States are discriminated against by American society, their freedom is much better than that in East Africa or West Africa.
The number of black people in American society alone is as high as over 10 million, and they are widely involved in the construction of American agriculture and industry. As for the issue of low political status, in the United States, people are divided into three or six groups. In the ninth class, except for the British and Jews, other people from Ireland, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, and Chinese were pretty much the same in the past.
Of course, with the rise of East Africa, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the social status of Germans in the United States has now been greatly improved.
In the past, Germany had not yet been unified, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was half-dead. Moreover, because of Hungary, it was not really a German country. East Africa was just a small colonial country in the corner of the country. The Germans in the United States were relatively weak.
Of course, apart from the rise of the German country, the other main reason for the improvement of the status of Germans in the United States is that East Africa siphoned off the poor German population in the United States through the economic crisis in the 1970s and 1980s. Under the economic crisis, they can continue to The German population remaining in the United States must have a certain social status or stable economic source.
Now it is mainly Italians and Neapolitans who have replaced the ecological niche of Germans in the United States in the past, and are the main force of American gangs and violent gangs.
Of course, relatively speaking, those at the bottom of society are non-Europeans. East Africa does not belong to European countries and is relatively unpopular in the United States, but it does not enjoy the "non-national treatment" of the United States. .
Among them, native American blacks and Asians are the real bottom class of American society. Even so, the status of American blacks is much higher than that of East African blacks.
They are at least free to find jobs, even marry and have children, and the wives married by black Americans may even have been trafficked from East Africa through Haiti.
Looking now, it can be said that the black people who were sold to the United States from East Africa have caught up in a good time. After all, after the Civil War, black Americans got rid of their slave status, and the United States is one of the world's powerful countries with a stable society. With strong economic strength, even black people at the lowest level can basically make a living.
Black people in other areas, including their native West Africa, are not only exploited by the local black upper class, but also skinned by the colonizers. Black people in East Africa are even more exploited by the colonizers. East Africa is used as a "merciless" machine, depriving them of the right to marry, have children, and freedom of life, and living a life of darkness. Looking at it this way, the United States is indeed the only "paradise" for black people in the world today.
