Chapter 874: Promoting Immigration

Time has come to 1894. In the past three years, East Africa has made great progress in the development of Mozambique and Angola. Mozambique alone has migrated 2.73 million people, which is not as desolate as before.

In addition to the continuous expansion of the local population to inland and remote areas, the foreign immigrant population has also reached a small climax in the previous three years, but it is still not comparable to the scale of immigration in the previous thirty years.

Moreover, the main force of foreign immigrants this time is mainly Italians and Chinese, which further increases the difficulty of attracting population in the German region.

One is that the economy of German countries such as Germany and Austria has developed rapidly. There is no German country in the world that has developed poorly in recent years, including the Sigmaringen royal territory with Chad as the core for colonial expansion. Although the conditions are poor, it is sparsely populated and rich in resources, and the development is very impressive.

Of course, absorbing foreign immigrants is only a stopgap measure. In order to provide conditions for the rapid development of Mozambique, Angola, Orange and other places, the local population of East Africa is growing rapidly. Without the help of foreign immigrant groups, it only takes two to three years for East Africa to still develop Mozambique and Angola to the current level.

The westward movement of the United States and the westward movement of East Africa were carried out almost at the same time. Carefully calculating that the United States had to leave East Africa more than ten years earlier, by the 1990s, the United States as a whole had basically ended, while East Africa's development of Angola had just entered the initial stage. In addition, there are still a large number of areas in the north and south of East Africa that need to be developed.

Moreover, East Africa's conquest of the interior of Africa was promoted simultaneously with large-scale wars. The expansion of the United States' territory was completed before the 1850s.

In the 1840s, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Texas and other places were incorporated into the United States. The Mississippi River Basin, including the eastern part, except for the Florida area, was incorporated into the United States in the early 19th century.

Judging from these areas that were later incorporated into the United States, the United States actually completed the overall formation of its territory only fifty years earlier than East Africa. The development of the central and eastern regions of East Africa started almost at the same time as the westward movement of the United States.

When the westward movement of the United States ended, the development of East Africa's territory entered its climax. The only change is that East Africa no longer relies on foreign immigrants to develop domestic areas. Now foreign immigrants can only be regarded as icing on the cake for the development of East Africa.

In fact, this is also the case. After Mozambique and Angola took shape, East Africa tightened the scale of immigration again in 1893. As for immigrants who did not catch the last train, East Africa directly used resources to transport them to Sigmaringen, Cameroon, Belgian Congo and other regions.

"This year, East Africa no longer wholesales visas on a large scale. If you want to immigrate to East Africa on a large scale, you can only strictly follow the rules."

With the closure of immigration channels in East Africa, many people who heard the news were very disappointed.

"Sir, you East Africans can't ignore us! We all responded to the previous call and came to you from afar. We sold all our property just for a ticket to go abroad. If we don't go to East Africa, we will have to sleep on the streets."

The crowd outside the consulate protested. There was nothing they could do. The reputation accumulated by East Africa over the past few decades has spread to the interior of the Far East Empire, especially after East Africa opened up its postal system with Germany and the Far East Empire.

Those who immigrated to East Africa can get in touch with their relatives in their motherland through telegrams, letters, etc., and some people can even go abroad to visit relatives.

This makes the situation in East Africa more realistic. The living conditions in East Africa are only considered to be in the upper middle level among all countries in the world, but compared with the Far East Empire, which is still relatively poor at this time, it is indeed a blessed land. The same conditions in Europe are not so attractive.

Now European immigrants can choose to go to the United States and Argentina, and finally consider East Africa. As for those countries with colonies, natives can give priority to their own colonies.

Of course, these cannot change the enthusiasm of the Far East Empire immigrants to go to East Africa. The most important thing is that East Africa itself has a large number of Chinese immigrants, and it is not as xenophobic as the United States and Argentina.

This can also explain why the Japanese are keen to immigrate to Brazil. Brazil is more tolerant than East Africa in population policy, and people of all skin colors can be found, while East Africa is too unfriendly to black people.

"An Jing, this is the consulate, not a place for you to make trouble and quarrel. The immigration policy of East Africa is naturally based on the development needs of the country. I also know that some people yearn for East Africa, but you are a step late after all. If you could come two days earlier, I am afraid it would not be the case."

"But some people don't need to worry. Our demand for high-quality talents in East Africa remains unchanged. Those who are interested can take the exam we organize. Of course, this is difficult."

"Of course, if you can't go to East Africa, you can also choose the countries around East Africa. It depends on whether you can accept it. If you are interested, we can directly issue you a visa for the Royal Territory of Sigmaringen."

The immigration channels of the Royal Territory of Sigmaringen in the Far East have always been entrusted by East Africa, so East Africa can directly issue Sigmaringen visas, which is the same as Haiti, but East Africa and Haiti are the product of cooperation for the slave trade.

"Where is Sigmaringen? What are the conditions?"

Everyone knows more about East Africa, but Sigmaringen is a completely unfamiliar name.

The consulate staff did not hide anything and told the true situation of the Sigmaringen royal territory in detail.

"There is also a desert! How can that place be good? Water shortage is a big problem..."

"Ahem, don't underestimate the Sigmaringen Royal Territory. Although the environment is a little worse, the population is small, the competitive pressure is small, and the territory is large enough. It is larger than three or four provinces of your Far East Empire. Take Shandong for example. It looks big to you, right? Sigmaringen is as big as eight Shandong provinces, and the water shortage is only in some areas. There are places that are not short of water! Many rivers and lakes are uninhabited."

"Besides, there is another advantage of the Sigmaringen Royal Territory. That is, there are many Chinese people there. There are hundreds of thousands of people there, and they are all your fellow countrymen. So it is definitely better to develop in Sigmaringen than in the United States and other places. At least you don't have to be a second-class citizen. What is a second-class citizen? It means that you are not treated as your own people."

Of course, no matter how the East African staff explained, everyone did not dare to make a decision easily. After all, the complexity of the name of the Sigmaringen Royal Territory alone made many people's brain cells die.

East Africa has two names in the Far East. East Africa and Hexingen are at least not more than three characters, but the Sigmaringen royal family is too complicated.

At this time, the consulate staff directly said: "Of course you can hesitate and consider carefully. After all, going to a place thousands of miles away is an important decision, but it is better to go earlier. Just like East Africa recruited population before, there was no limit, but now it is hard to get a certificate."

"Not to mention more, Sigmaringen needs at least millions of quotas. Don't look at it too much. In fact, it will only take a few years. After a few years, I am afraid that it will be limited like our East Africa."

Sure enough, under the urging of this "scarcity", many people gritted their teeth and chose to get on the ship first. As for whether it is a "pirate ship", it is too late to consider it anyway. After all, there is nothing to lose.

East Africa helps the Sigmaringen royal family to sell tickets, which is the need for cooperation between the two countries, and the Far East Empire immigrants can also choose to go to German Cameroon, Togoland or Belgian colonies.

Of course, East Africa would definitely not recommend them to go to the Belgian colony, although because of East Africa, the Belgian government was slightly more "kind" to Chinese immigrants in Belgian Congo, which was the status of black people in the United States.

Moreover, both Belgium and Germany had embassies in the Far East Empire, and East Africa certainly could not interfere in immigration matters.
