In Central America, after three years of operation, Governor Hummel has almost cleaned up the local powerhouses.

Naturally, those who were willing to accept the incorporation continued to occupy high positions, and those who resisted were naturally harmonized with each other, and Austria had accumulated a wealth of experience in this regard.

Take Nicaragua as an example, there are more than 300,000 people in the whole country, most of them are still Indians, and there are tens of thousands of white immigrants and mixed-race children.

The countries of Central America are similar, but the land is not vast and sparsely populated. If they went to fight guerrillas, they didn't need Austria to help, and the local Indian tribes would wipe them off.

The Habsburgs were also their co-owners, and their ancestors pledged allegiance to Charles V. To put it far-fetched, there is still a little bit of legality, and the strong fist has suppressed the disobedience, and the rest of the people have always supported the rule of Franz the Great.

The interests of ordinary people have not been harmed, so naturally there is no hatred.

The main reason for independence was that Spain was crippled by the French, the mine owners and capitalists did not want to pay taxes to Spain, and the bureaucrats wanted greater power, so they followed the trend of independence.

Perhaps it is not possible to use "we", how can there be so many capitalists and miners in a small country? In fact, one or more families wanted to be independent, otherwise the Central American region would not have been divided into so many countries.

It doesn't matter now, with the influx of immigrants, even if some people are unwilling, they can't make big waves.

In the Central American Governor's Palace in San Jose, the foreign affairs officer of the Immigration Department, John Radefer, reported: "Your Excellency the Governor, Colombia has denied immigrants entry into the Panama region, and they have also asked the immigrants to be dispersed and resettled, not to be concentrated. ”

There is no doubt that since Mexico paid an IQ tax to Americans, everyone has learned its lesson and become wary of foreign immigrants.

Colombia naturally lacks immigrants, Panama has not yet become independent, and now has a territory of more than 1.2 million square kilometers and a population of just over 2 million, of which about 100,000 are in Panama.

If immigration is not restricted, who knows when the Republic of Colombia will change masters?

This is also the reason why South American countries have not developed. Because the local population is too small, they dare not take the liberty of accepting a large number of immigrants.

In the case of the Republic of Colombia, it only takes four or five hundred thousand immigrants to turn them into a country of German origin.

In this context, of course, everyone should be vigilant. The refusal to allow German immigrants to enter Panama was due to the fear that Austria would turn the region into a colony that day.

There is nothing to blame for this, Governor Humel is indeed playing the attention of the Panama region, and he can't help but let the family resist, right?

The Panama region is the most suitable place to dig canals in Central America, which is an indispensable part of Austria's strategy for the Americas, and it must be in our hands.

Governor Hummel asked, "Didn't the councillors we bribed speak for help?" ”

In this era, corruption is a common feature in all countries, especially in a new republic like Colombia.

John Radefer, an immigration officer, explained: "Our PR campaign was resisted by outside forces, and the preliminary judgment was that the British were doing it, and the French could also be involved.

A number of pro-British parliamentarians openly objected, arguing that once we had gained a foothold in Latin America, we would have to expand, and Colombia would bear the brunt. ”

Humel has nothing to say, he admits that he has an interest in Colombia and that although there are no clear plans yet, voices have already been generated for expansion into the Colombian region.

There is no other reason than because Colombia is too weak. In this age of the jungle, it's not surprising that you're a target for everyone.

Of course, a direct attack on the Republic of Colombia, this is impossible. The high cost of such a war in South America was enough to discourage the Viennese government.

Austria is not Spain, and if Franz is the king of Spain, then there is no need to say, he will definitely return to South America.

In this era, the feudal cancer had not yet been wiped out, and there were royalist forces in all South American countries, and there were these people who could re-establish their rule as long as they killed the enemy militarily.

Then even if the cost of the war is a little higher, it is worth it in exchange for a larger space for development.

Forget about Austria, Hispanics and Germans are two completely different peoples, and they want to be recognized unless they do with Central America.

First of all, it was necessary to cripple by force, forcibly establish rule, and then organize a large number of immigrants and dilute them into ethnic minorities.

After a moment of hesitation, Governor Humel made a decision: "Bribing local officials in Panama to create an established fact of emigration."

Falsifying immigration status, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, etc., can send someone to deal with it, and these immigrants must be resettled.

Panama couldn't be resettled, so I was resettled in the interior of Colombia, and the government paid to buy land for them.

If someone causes trouble for us, find a way to kill them. This is a national policy that will not be undermined by anyone. ”

This is not the first Austrian migration to Colombia. It's just that the front is all petty fighting, and tens of thousands of people are transported every year, because of the American Civil War, everyone is only considered to be normal immigrants, and it has not attracted the attention of the Colombian government.

With the passage of time, the number of immigrants has increased dramatically, and this hidden migration activity has been exposed.

The number of Germans has increased dramatically, accounting for one-fifth of the white population, and if left unchecked, more than half is just around the corner.

Oh, and don't look at the fact that one in five is a huge number, but in fact it is tens of thousands. The population base is small, and there is no way.

In Panama alone, there are now 20,000 ethnic Germans, and the Colombian government, which has reacted, naturally wants to stop it.

You must know that the total population of Panama is only about 100,000, and almost one-fifth of the Germans are of national descent. That's one-fifth of the region's population, not just one-fifth of white immigrants, more than the rest of the population combined.

Theoretically, within ten years the local rule would fall into the hands of the Germans. This is a characteristic of democratically elected countries, and the ethnic group with the most votes will naturally prevail.

John Radford replied, "Yes, Your Excellency, we at USCIS will do our best to get it done." ”

Governor Hummel nodded, and sighed again. If it weren't for the fact that the American Civil War was coming to an end, he would not have been willing to make such a big move.

It is easy for immigrants to settle down, and land in the Americas is not valuable, but it is not just about dividing a piece of land, but also about ensuring the normal life of immigrants.

In less than four years, 380,000 migrants have been resettled in Central America and more than 60,000 have been sent to Colombia, a remarkable achievement.

Now it's the last wave of immigrants. Once the Civil War is over, all walks of life in the United States will be in ruins, and everyone's opportunity will come, and the number of people who want to leave will definitely be greatly reduced.

As a last resort, Hummel had no choice but to make big moves. This was discovered by the Colombian government not just beginning.

Regardless, the immigration strategy worked. Austrian rule in Central America was established, and the people who had acquired the land became the basis of the rule.

By the time the last wave of immigration is over, the number of ethnic Germans will exceed half a million. That's more than 20 percent of the population, 1.5 times the number of other white immigrants in the area.

If the Viennese government so wished, it could immediately make a comeback for a Central American kingdom.

Of course, Franz would not do this, even if it was to support a kingdom, it would be a matter of the future.

The American people should have been fairly comfortable in the wake of a civil war that has just gone through a civil war that has been enough for the American people to reflect on for twenty years.

……

Governor Hummel asked, "Mr. Krauss, how much will we have this year, and how much will our deficit increase?" ”

Strategically successful, but economically it is a serious loss. Even though the colonial government worked very hard, the Central American region was quite rich, but there was a bottomless pit of immigration, and the government revenue was really not enough to fill it.

Finance Minister Klaus calculated and said: "This year's fiscal revenue, about 7 million Aegis, an increase of 21 percent compared with last year, the main income is still minerals and customs duties, and the transaction tax is also growing rapidly."

This year's fiscal deficit will depend on the number of immigrants who will follow. Basically all immigrants have applied for interest-free fees, although they have to pay the money themselves, but the interest still has to be borne by us.

It is preliminarily estimated that this year's fiscal deficit will be between 6 million ~ 7 million Aegis, and if you want to launch an attack on the indigenous tribes, there will be an increase of 700,000 Aegis military spending. ”

The fiscal deficit is as high as 100 percent, and it is estimated that few countries dare to ask for such a colony. No way, that's the price of the Great Migration.

An interest-free loan of 200 Aegis per person, 100,000 immigrants is 20 million Aegis, even if the bank gives the government face at 3% annual interest, it will cost 600,000 Aegis interest every year.

Not counting other expenses, the interest cost alone is an astronomical amount, but fortunately, it only takes two years, and if it is longer, the colonial government will definitely not be able to bear it.

Hummel calculated for a moment and said: "The large-scale migration is only the last year, and the loan interest will be two years at most."

From next year, there will be no more immigration and resettlement costs. Mr. Krauss, you calculate when we will break even, and how long it will take for us to recoup our investment. ”

Governor Hummel did not care, and for the Central American colonies, the Vienna government invested tens of millions of Aegis, and it is still in the process of investing.

It was arguably the most expensive colony opened up by Austria, but the benefits were not so promising.

In addition to a few tons of gold and 180 tons of silver that can be mined every year, they can only sell timber and export some agricultural products.

Resources such as copper, iron, lead, zinc, and aluminum are not of high mining value now, and it is difficult for raw ore to be sold at a high price in the international market.

If you want to refine industrial finished products, forget it. This, in turn, required a large amount of money, and the colonial government was not so arrogant.

Growing cash crops, mining precious metals, and selling industrial raw materials were the right path for the colonial economy.

Klaus thought for a moment and said, "After the immigration work is over, it will take another five years to make an initial break.

If you want to recover the cost of capital invested, this time is a bit long, it may take 20 years, or even longer. ”

This was a major problem for the colonial government, and the high level of investment in the Central American colonies had already aroused a lot of opposition at home.

Unlike the development of African colonies, there were many beneficiaries at home, and the losses were not so severe.

Only a small number of immigrants from the Central American colonies came from the mainland, and most of them were immigrants absorbed from the United States, and these people were the beneficiaries.

Many within the government are attacking the Central American strategy and calling for the redeployment of the forces invested in the Central American region and into the African continent.

However, at Franz's strong request, he was suppressed. However, the criticism of the colonial government of Central America has not stopped, and Humel urgently needs to make a difference to prove to everyone the right thing to do in opening up the Central American colonies.

It is very difficult to do this, first of all, the strategic value will not be reflected in the short term, otherwise there will not be so many people who have opinions.

Economic value, unfortunately it is still in a net loss state. Even after calculating the hidden gains, the colonial government was still in a state of loss.

It is not even possible to provide industrial raw materials to the country, and there is no shortage of industrial raw materials produced in these regions in Austria.
