Cold air from the Arctic Circle swept south across the Great Lakes region, and the snow began to roll up in a thick layer on the ground. This was originally an area with a high degree of industry and agriculture in the United States. However, after the world war, the industry here will be destroyed. After a year of recovery, agriculture is barely recovering.

The Great Lakes region has good irrigation conditions, so it is only natural that it is the first choice for immigrants from China. In 1856, the Chinese Empire had emigrated 30 million people to North America. It is estimated that in the next two years, the empire will also emigrate 70 million people to North America, bringing the total population of the empire in North America to about 120 million.

Originally, some people in China raised the question of whether large-scale immigration to overseas would lead to a split. However, with the development of science and technology, communication technology and the smooth flow of transportation, this problem has been well solved. Even though the empire itself and North America are separated by the entire Pacific Ocean, it is still very easy for the empire to suppress rebellions that break out in North America. What's more, now the centripetal force of the people of the empire is very strong, as long as the emperor does something angry and resentful, will the people rebel?

Moreover, the policy pursued by the Empire was to develop agriculture and light industry overseas, and heavy industry was only primitive mineral extraction, which left the overseas territories without the ability to manufacture weapons and equipment. Under such circumstances, even if you want to rebel overseas, you will be powerless. Empire+ powerful armies can crush them at any time.

At least, the people of the empire who immigrated to North America at this stage are still extremely satisfied with their lives. Everyone is living a good life. Naturally, no one wanted to rebel. Put a good day away, but go and kill the head. Only a fool would do that.

However, the empire immigrated to North America on a large scale. It's not without problems. At least, the locals in North America are very much against it. A large number of immigrants from the empire proper, crowding out the living space of these locals. In addition, the empire announced that it would nationalize the land and mines of the former American and British Canadian colonies, which was tantamount to robbing the local people of their wealth, and they naturally hated the empire. It's just that now the United States has become a thing of the past, and Britain has been defeated and divided. These natives of North America, even if they hate the Empire. Don't dare to do things that go too far. After all, the empire still has hundreds of thousands of troops in North America. Although the empire had begun to disarm, the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army had also changed its guard and been repatriated from North America. However, the newly arrived 10th Army is still not good, and if it wants to do it to the people of the empire, it is to kill itself.

Though. The Reich's garrison in North America consisted of only one army group, 180,000 men. After being scattered in North America, there is no wave at all. But a year of hard work. The empire had established a ruling order throughout North America, and the local government was almost always controlled by Chinese, and only a very small number of locals who had defected to the Chinese empire served in the government. Violent institutions such as police stations. It is all up to the Chinese to be responsible. As for the candidates for these policemen, they are mainly from the retired soldiers of the empire itself.

The empire needed to lay off millions of land forces after the war. Plus those soldiers who have reached the age of service, retired troops. In total, more than three million people. The resettlement of these retired soldiers is also a very troublesome matter. They fought bloodied on the battlefield for the Empire, and finally won the war, and the Empire must always be responsible for placing them. As a result, Emperor Long Yufei announced with a stroke of his pen that most of these retired soldiers would be relocated to overseas territories, where they would serve as local police officers or officers in the reserve forces. Thus, relying on these retired soldiers and officers, the Empire quickly established a program in North America in which the reservists and police worked together to stabilize the situation in the Dìng region. As for the Imperial 10th Army in North America, they would only be dispatched when they encountered a larger enemy.

In order to ensure the safety of immigrants, the empire was often immigrant from the whole village, with hundreds or thousands of people immigrating to one area so that they could take care of each other. In addition, the able-bodied people were required to join the reserve forces for training. Each adult man was given a rifle so that they would not be deprived of the ability to fight back if they were attacked by the locals. In this way, the immigrants of the empire quickly gained a foothold in North America. Of course, Americans are not good at stubble, they are a mob in the first place, and conflicts between imperial immigrants and American natives occur from time to time. But basically it was the imperial immigrants who won, and the natives of the United States were no opponents.

After all, the total population of the United States was just over 18 million people. After a year of war, the US military and civilians suffered a lot of casualties, and in the end there were only more than 15 million people left. The empire emigrated 30 million people to North America, plus the 20 million people who immigrated to the West Coast of the United States before the war, the total population of the empire in North America was 50 million.

However, unlike the West Coast, which was completely dominated by the people of the Empire, in other areas, American resistance still occurred from time to time. Those Americans, without the support of the state, the Americans would not be able to form a unified resistance at all, and the Americans everywhere often fought alone, without a unified deployment. In the face of the attack of the Imperial Army plus the police and reserves, they simply could not resist.

However, North America is too vast, and even if the empire immigrated 30 million people to North America, it would be very difficult for the empire to completely control North America. As a result, the empire could only control towns and settlements, and the rest of the region became areas of activity for American guerrillas. Those Americans, as if they had just returned to the days when they had just settled, rode horses and fought the Indians. The cowboy genes in the bones of Americans have been revived again.

In North America, the former state of Illinois, now the imperial province of Erie in North America, on the plain about 200 kilometers away from Lake Michigan, there is an imperial settlement, a village from the Loess Plateau was relocated here as a whole, and the population of the village is not large, only more than 500 people. However, they were given more than 20,000 acres of land near the settlement, which is equivalent to 50 acres of land per capita.

Chinese people have a deep attachment to the land from their bones. In the past, when I was on the Loess Plateau, the land was barren, and the whole village could not even eat enough. But now, it's as if they've arrived in heaven. The land in North America is so fertile that as long as the seeds are sown, there is almost no need to fertilize, and the crops are waiting for the harvest in the fall. The depositors had just migrated in the spring, and the imperial government had built settlements for them, preparing farm tools, food, and seeds. These lands were originally also farms of the Americans, and they could just cultivate them.

After a year of hard work, in the fall, they had a bumper harvest, which immediately gave everyone hope. Every family's granary is full of grain, even if you eat white flour buns every day, you can't eat them all in a year! For many people, this is a good day that they have never imagined!

If those American guerrillas hadn't come to make trouble, life here would have been heavenly.

In the center of the settlement, there is a guard tower more than ten meters high. Day and night, there are reservists in the village watching from above. Once the enemy is discovered, the big iron bell on the guard tower can be immediately ringed to warn, and the reservists in the village will immediately take up arms to resist the enemy's attack.

"Ahh On the watchtower, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man held a rifle, shrunk on the watchtower and shivered, snot kept flowing out of him, and the whole nose was frozen red.

Now that the crops had been harvested and it was snowing again, the people of the village had remained in the settlement, and no one had gone out, which gave the American guerrillas no chance to attack.

"This North American winter is really cold enough, colder than my hometown! I've been wearing such a thick cotton coat, but the cold wind is still coming in, it's really terrible! The youth complained.

"Don't say a word, do you still want to stay in your hometown and can't even eat?" A middle-aged man next to him glared at him. In order to ensure the safety of the watchtower, two people are often arranged every time they are on duty.

"Hey, Uncle Gen, of course it's here. After immigrating here, everyone was given a full fifty acres of fine land! A family is two or three hundred acres of land! If this is in the hometown, even the landlord's family does not have so much land! Not to mention that the land here is much more fertile than the land of my hometown. Our village, it's good luck! The young man said with a smile. The thought of the breadbasket at home was full of grain, and the young man seemed to feel no cold.

"This is because of the kindness of the emperor and his old man, who led our army to lay down these lands, so that we have a good life now. If it weren't for the emperor and his old man, we would still be living a hard life now! The middle-aged man's eyes were full of reverence. It can be said that the people of the empire have great respect for Emperor Long Yufei. Not to mention anything else, just because he led the people of the empire to live a good life, it was enough for the people of the empire to remember him.

The Chinese people are the easiest to be satisfied, and if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't get by, they wouldn't have risen up to resist. Now, the empire ruled by Long Yufei has allowed the common people to live such a good life, and they will naturally be grateful. For the happy life now, it is completely like living in heaven.
