24. Establishment of free trade zones
"All the regulations announced by the King of Light will be implemented perfectly, because he has been generous and has worked hard to improve the cultural knowledge of the Indians, helping the Indians to integrate into the modern civilization system, but respecting our traditions."
This was said by Jacob, and it turns out that he was right.
Under the constraints of Han Huaiyi's financial resources and iron fist, the Chinese did not have any conflicts with the Indians in the years that followed.
They are united in South America.
As a result, an atmosphere is hundreds of times better than that of Southeast Asia, and the Far Eastern cultural circle has been formed.
Because of these factors, a large number of Indians began to gather in the area occupied by Han Huaiyi, and in addition to Panama, Pará became their alternative.
On Christmas Eve 1907, the DSG Ptolemaic Bison Mercenary Corps, formed by Indian youth, was officially formed.
And this day is also the day of the complete collapse of the Amado regime.
Because the remnants of Amado's army stationed on the Colombian border have finally surrendered their allegiance to the new government!
Things have developed to this point, and Han Huaiyi has started the second step.
He asked José to divide large tracts of land adjacent to the Canal Zone to the Indian tribes, so that the Indians would become a buffer zone between the Chinese and white Panamanians.
He and José then proposed that schools and duty-free trading posts would be built in the buffer zone.
These areas will be open to all nationalities, including Panamanians.
In addition, New Rome will invest in Panama's livelihood buildings and change the living environment in Panama, especially to improve the medical standards in Panama.
These conditions were quite superior, and Jose and Esteban agreed to Han Huaiyi's decision in their entirety after discussion.
When the Panama News, the Panama News newspaper of the Panama-based Hearst Group, published the plans, those who preached the traitors of José and Esteban were left speechless.
In addition, Han Huaiyi also attached a condition to it.
That is to give priority to the families of Panamanian military personnel, and New Rome will provide relative preferential treatment to Panamanian military families in terms of employment and housing.
All Panamanians who died in battle died at the behest of the Amado dictatorship.
Later newspapers portrayed Amado at length as an ugly character who used the United States to develop his own power, and then played with people's hearts in an attempt to gain more selfish interests for his family.
In fact, Amado did something similar.
As a result, Panamanian indignation against the previous events also began to shift.
This bombardment of public opinion lasted for three whole months, interspersed with the fulfillment of various promises made by the New Rome Investment Group, and people were forgetful, and with the exception of a very small number of radicals, most Panamanians had begun to look forward to joining the New Rome Group and working in exchange for a prosperous life for their families.
March 1, 1908.
The Indians complete the migration.
The first new Rome supermarket chain in Panama's duty-free zone also opened, and a large number of goods from the United States, Europe and even China sparked a rush to buy, which also led to a boom in other businesses in Trade Zone 1.
On this day, a comprehensive school with a mix of primary, junior high and high school and vocational training officially began to enroll students.
The school is on the edge of the free trade zone and provides free compulsory education before vocational training for all.
Vocational training courses are charged, but in addition to the fees, the New Rome Group promises that students who have obtained a diploma will directly receive the promise to work for the New Rome Group.
Another rule is that if you want to go to higher education after graduating from high school, you will have the opportunity to attend school in San Francisco if you pass the exam.
At the same time, the first Union Hospital in the Panama Free Trade Zone was established.
Incidentally, the Institute of Epidemic Disease Prevention and Prevention has been established, where professionals will conduct targeted research on the diseases caused by mosquitoes that are endemic in Panama.
The work began in the Chinese and Indian settlements.
Throughout the six months, the project of the Canal Zone has also been continuously extended, and along with the extension of the Canal Zone is the extension of the territory of the Chinese hiding on the side of the Indian settlement.
Groups of Chinese began to migrate here, and the number of Chinese in Panama had reached 120,000 by the time of New Rome.
There were 210,000 Indians.
This is not a large proportion of Panama, with a total population of 4 million.
But the Chinese have the sharpest firepower and the most powerful army besides the U.S. troops stationed there, followed by the Bison Mercenary Corps, and then the Panamanian Defense Force.
To the peace of mind of the Panamanian government, the troops trained by the Chinese and bison mercenaries were leaving for Brazil.
They really have no interest in the Panamanian regime.
On this day, Han Huaiyi invited Pompey and told him: "The work here is on the right track, and this contract is given to the garrison." ”
The contract shows that a quarter of the revenue from the FTZ will go to the garrison as a whole.
"This..."
"It is our sincerity that the U.S. military, DSG, Chinese, Indians and Americans should share the glory and disgrace in this foreign land, and we hope that the beneficiary troops will remember our efforts. Let's just say that this contract is valid for a long time, and he can last as long as the Chinese are here. ”
Then Han Huaiyi said: "I have to go to Brazil." Jack Chan stayed here, as the first police inspector of the free trade zone, hoping to get the general's support for no reason. ”
"No problem, Lord Charlie. If the whole United States is raving about your operations in Panama, and the Military Council has explicitly asked us to cooperate fully with your work, this is a military order. ”
"This one is for you, a personal gift." Han Huaiyi smiled and took something out again.
This is the property right of a three-storey, 12-room façade in Free Trade Zone 2.
"Rent will be credited to your bank account at Morgan on a regular basis! Thank you, my friend, very much for your support in everything that has happened before, because many of my things cannot be done so easily if you are against it. ”
Pompey was stunned, because it was a huge gift of $10,000 a year.
Han Huaiyi squeezed his eyes at him: "You always have to retire, this is actually a gift for your children, New Rome is immortal, and the relationship between you and me will be eternal." ”
"Got it, Charlie!" Pompey eventually accepted the gift.
Then he made a request: "Can the U.S. military participate in your military training program?" Can be used as an imaginary enemy. ”
"Yes, you can discuss this matter with Jack Chen, but I must remind the general that the DSG is an independent mercenary organization, and he only accepts my leadership and command. I am only willing to share with the US military things such as the three-dimensional combat method studied by DSG. ”
"Don't worry." Pompey understands Han Huaiyi's bottom line.
