Chapter 661 Immigration Wave

Back to Australasia.

The economic crisis has made large-scale infrastructure construction the most crazy. This madness is definitely in a positive sense, because it is the collective carnival of Australasians.

Yes, not only the material dealers saw business opportunities, but many people also saw the hope of stable survival in the economic crisis. They had great trust in the country and were extremely fanatical about Arthur.

I have to admit that this infrastructure construction plan has directly saved the Australasian industry and prevented major factories from going bankrupt. Factory owners are already looking forward to the official launch of infrastructure construction so that they can sell to the government. A large number of steel and industrial products keep the factory running normally.

Why is it said that this infrastructure plan directly saved Australasia's industry?

The reason is actually very simple.

First, infrastructure construction requires a large amount of steel, which is a very stable long-term order for Australasia's very important steel industry.

Secondly, the transportation of materials in infrastructure construction requires a large number of trucks, which also allows automobile factories to have sufficient orders, at least without worrying about bankruptcy due to losses.

Of course, judging from the size of the Benz Automobile Factory, this economic crisis is not enough to bankrupt the Benz Automobile Factory.

A large amount of machinery is also needed in infrastructure construction, which is also a good emergency for major machinery factories.

This will also use a large amount of electricity, which is a stable income for thermal and hydroelectric power plants.

Thermal power plants are also related to the profits of coal mines. Under the influence of many links, they can basically cover most of the industrial industries, so that the industry will not suffer too much losses during the economic crisis and can even grow further.

September 3, 1926, Sydney.

A ship docked in Sydney was filled with the first batch of unemployed people coming to Australasia from the United States.

There was a glimmer of hope in these people's eyes, because Australasia was their last choice for survival.

If they couldn't survive in Australasia, they wouldn't be able to get a return ticket, and the outcome was basically doomed.

Among these crowds, an inconspicuous person tightened his coat, and despite the completely different climates of Australia and the United States, he pulled his wife and daughter, and walked slowly but firmly towards the Sydney port step by step. .

"Anyone who would like to become an Australasian citizen can now come here and register."

At the outermost edge of the port, the radio kept shouting, attracting the attention of most Americans coming to Sydney.

The ending was not surprising. Most of the people who could come to Sydney were willing to become Australasian citizens. People soon lined up outside the port. People they knew were chatting with each other. Sydney looked very busy. The port was very curious.

This does not mean that they have never seen such a huge port. But the problem is that not many ports can maintain such busy operations under the impact of the economic crisis.

The import and export industries in various countries around the world have almost collapsed. Except for refugees fleeing, it is rare to see very large cargo ships docking at ports.

Registration was relatively fast. About an hour later, the inconspicuous man and his family had arrived at the front.

There are several tables in front, and there are many police officers responsible for maintaining order. The person sitting next to the table was obviously an official from Australasia, filling in things and asking questions.

"Please tell me your name, nationality and place of origin. If you have any family members, you can also tell me." The official said to the front as usual.

"Waderick, a British-American, from New York, USA. This is mine." The man introduced word by word.

"Well, are you British?" Upon hearing that Waldrick was British-American, the official's facial expression changed significantly, and he looked a little kinder.

"There will be a three-month inspection period before naturalization. During this period, you are not allowed to engage in any criminal activities. Otherwise, you will be severely investigated and your family members will be deported. What kind of work did you do when you were in the United States?" The official first asked about the requirements for naturalization. After asking again, he continued to ask.

"I was a railway designer when I was in New York. Will this help me find a job?" Wadrick asked as if he had found some hope.

"Of course. Many railways are being built in Australasia, and there is a natural need for railway designers like you." The official explained with a smile: "In that case, I recommend you to stay in Sydney. Sydney is about to start building a new main railway line. It is said that if you work underground, you will find a satisfactory job.”

After receiving a nod from Vadrik, a police officer led Vadrik and his family to the immigration administration to further assign them a place to live.

Due to national policies, very few immigrants are allowed to stay in Sydney. After all, there are more places that need people, and the population cannot be left only in big cities like Sydney and Melbourne.

This also makes it rare to encounter people like Vadrick who are allowed to stay in Sydney on the way to the immigration management department, which makes Vadrick's family a little confused.

"Dad, where are we going?" Valdrick's daughter asked with some confusion.

"Go to the Immigration Bureau, little guy." Before Wadrick could answer, the policeman replied with a smile: "You will be assigned temporary accommodation there, and you can rent it at a low price.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have money. In view of His Majesty's kindness to all immigrants, your first three months' rent can be deferred to the fourth month, and there is no interest. "

This explanation was not only for Wadrick's daughter, but also for Wadrick.

The police's answer also made Wadrick feel relieved. After all, in addition to finding a job, finding a proper place to live is also very important.

After all, they have just come to Australasia, and it is still difficult to find a place to live when they have no money.

It is worth mentioning that for these unemployed people attracted from Europe and the United States, Australasia's way of dealing with them is to provide them with housing and jobs.

Although this does not seem to be very sincere compared to immigration policies, it is the most desired condition for these unemployed people.

Compared to some land, it is more desirable to have a job with a stable income and a place where they and their families can settle down.

The land wants to harvest It will take a long time, and we have to worry about the large amount of food and meat that will be unsalable due to the economic crisis.

But work is different. The income is basically stable, and there is no need to worry about losing a job in Australasia.

After arriving at the immigration management department, it is still a familiar interrogation. In fact, in addition to the three-month probation period for these immigrants, the intelligence department will also investigate these immigrants to ensure that no intelligence elements from enemy countries have mixed in.

Of course, the economic crisis has left other countries with no time to care. If there are still a large number of intelligence personnel among the immigrants at this time, Arthur can only admire the leisure of other countries.

After the basic situation interrogation, the immigration management department interrogated Wadrick about his specialties.

"Mr. Wadrick, did you say you were a railway engineer?" The person from the immigration management department asked with a little interest.

"Of course, to be precise, a subway designer. I have participated in the construction of the New York subway. It should be helpful to you, right?" Wadrick asked a little nervously.

"Subway? Oh, man, are you talking about the kind of railway built underground? "The immigration department asked with a little excitement.

"Of course." Wadrick nodded.

"Great, Sydney is about to start the subway construction project, you are definitely the talent we are looking for." The immigration department nodded with satisfaction, smiled and said to Wadrick: "Since you are a talent who can help us, in accordance with His Majesty the King's order to treat talents well, on behalf of the Sydney City Government, I will waive one year's rent for you and your family and provide you with a more comfortable living environment. ”

In fact, talents are treated preferentially everywhere. For a developing country that is in urgent need of population, Arthur does not mind giving some preferential treatment to people like Wadrick, so that more talents can see the sincerity of Australasia.

As for whether those ordinary unemployed people will feel that they have been treated unfairly, it is a pity. Who made them incapable?

However, most people are still satisfied with Australasia’s arrangements. After all, they have been unemployed and hungry in the United States. Now they have jobs and housing, which has met their expectations.

The preferential treatment of the immigration department and the police made Wadrick feel relieved, and also made him and his family full of goodwill towards Australasia, a strange country.

And as a British descent, Wadrick has no discomfort with Australasia, which looks very familiar.

He just wants to get into work as soon as possible, earn income to buy more food, and let himself 's daughter went back to school.

Although he was forced to let his daughter drop out of school, this was just a helpless choice. If there was a choice, Wadrick would of course give priority to letting his daughter return to school.

When he came to the residence arranged by the immigration management department, Wadrick was even more surprised.

It can be clearly seen that the houses nearby should be prepared for immigrants. However, most people live in low-rent housing, which looks rough and has no decoration or beautification.

Although Wadrick's house has not been improved much, at least there are some furniture, and the area looks a little larger than a normal house.

More importantly, this house has electricity, and it looks no different from the house Wadrick rented in the United States.
