Chapter 1277: Immigrating to Hawaii
Of course, Guo Ye is reluctant to come forward in person, there are other reasons, that is, his eyes have to be fixed on those factors that are about to change, as for the battle between China and Russia, which has already settled in the dust, naturally he does not need to come forward in person, a Tsarist Russia, now more than 100,000 Russian prisoners are in their hands, the first army and the second army under the leadership of Gao Qi have entered the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and then to the north is the entire East Siberian zone, the absolute advantage is in his hands, so what is there to worry about, With Zhang Chunping's ability, things can be completely settled!
Now Guo Ye's eyes have long since shifted to other places.
"Brother Shuyun, how are the preparations for the thing I told you some time ago?"
Guo Ye asked.
Everyone looked at Xue Fucheng on the side, not knowing what task His Majesty had assigned to this Minister of Commerce.
Xue Fucheng smiled: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Isn't it just to set up a few enterprises in Honolulu and transfer Chinese workers? Isn't that easy? I have already explained to Guo Keqing, and now I am in the process of handling it, I plan to build a steamship company in Honolulu, and at the same time buy two estates and a local auction company, all of which hire Chinese laborers, and a year later, Honolulu and several nearby islands, there will be two or three thousand Chinese laborers, but, Your Majesty, where do you want me to set up some industries in Honolulu, I can understand, after all, where is the largest transit station in the Americas and Asia, Almost all the large ships have to be replenished here with fuel and fresh water, but, your majesty, what is the matter with our migration here? ”
"Within a year, two or three thousand Chinese laborers?"
Guo Ye stood up and replied lightly: "Not enough, far from enough!" Uncle Yun, we must increase immigration, human resources companies directly open branches in Honolulu to help local enterprises recruit Chinese workers, I demand, within one year, Honolulu must reach 10,000 Chinese workers, within three years, the population of Hawaii must reach 30,000, within five years, I want the entire Hawaii Chinese labor population to reach 60,000 to 80,000! ”
Hiss......
Xue Fucheng gasped and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" You must know that the population of the entire Hawaiian islands is only two or three hundred thousand people, where there is no special industry, only sugarcane, coffee and two cash crops are planted in a large area, there is almost no industry, we send 60,000 to 80,000 Chinese laborers to Hawaii, that accounts for almost a quarter of the local population! This will cause unease for the local government! ”
Guo Ye shook his head and replied, "Brother Shuyun, you just do it, aren't there two cash crops, sugarcane and coffee?" Then buy me a lot of land, after buying the land, develop the manor farm, get 50,000 or 60,000 acres of manor, it must not cost us much money, 50,000 or 60,000 acres of manor, enough to feed us nearly 10,000 people, isn't there a shipping company? It also needs manpower, and you can even try to buy the port of Honolulu, and the entire dock needs tens of thousands of porters, right? As for the uneasiness of the local government? So what? We absolutely do not interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Hawaii, that is, select a few competent candidates from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to go to the Kingdom of Hawaii and form the Hawaiian Legation, and we must handle the relationship with the Kingdom of Hawaii well! ”
Saying this, Guo Ye pulled over the world map and said: "You see, this Hawaiian Islands is almost in the middle of East Asia and North America, it can be said that it is the key point of the entire Pacific Ocean, and the military strategic value is incomparable in the entire Eastern Pacific. ”
Several people looked at each other, not expecting that His Majesty had already surrendered his eyes to the distant future, how far away? It's going to be more than 10 years at least!
"Building a naval base? In this place where birds don't poop? I'm afraid it's tens of thousands of miles away from our homeland, right? And not even more! ”
Yan Chunyu on the side shouted, "Big brother, what's the use of us controlling such a distant island?" If that's the case, we might as well swallow the whole of the South Seas, at least get closer to us......"
"You know!"
Guo Ye said angrily: "Is Nanyang good?" Do you want to swallow Malaysia, or do you want to swallow Indochina? Or did you annex the whole of Java? Isn't there a master of all the flowers? Britain, France, the Netherlands and other European powers have long circled the place, we will rob again, fight with others, provoke the European powers, they will join forces to deal with us, when the time comes, we can only cheap others to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, that is a fool's thing, but Hawaii, now the Kingdom of Hawaii is an independent kingdom, originally occupied by the French, now the French power has been expelled, the British want to insert into a tank, but unfortunately it is far away from the British Isles, for the British, it is a bit chicken; As for the Americans, it kind of means that, but haven't they done it yet? We must make a good plan in advance before the Americans make a move, and we must know that in the whole world, when it comes to development potential, the only one that can be compared with the Chinese Empire is the United States, they have a vast territory, a large population, and at the same time, the people have a very high level of literacy, we can't help but guard against it......"
Guo Songtao and Xue Fucheng were shocked, listening to this meaning, in the future, our Chinese Empire will turn against the Americans?
"No, it can't be, right? Your Majesty, do you mean that one day we will go head-to-head with the United States of America for world supremacy? ”
Xue Fucheng exclaimed, "How is this possible? Our friendship with the United States is out, without our help, their civil war does not know when it will be fought, and the relationship between the two countries is now as close as a family, how can it be possible to turn the other cheek? ”
"Humph!"
Guo Ye snorted coldly: "Brother Shuyun, you are all in trouble, there are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests!" Look at the great powers in Europe, which one has not fought side by side with which? Which one hasn't fought to the death? Today they are friends, tomorrow they may become enemies because of national interests! For us, only the national interest is paramount, whether it is England or the United States, as long as it conflicts with our national interests, then we must remove the obstacles in front of us! ”
