Just as Tom prepares to rely on the "moral high ground" to carry out a wave of labor market "recruitment" in the United States, Johnny returns to the Smith family's hometown, the town of Karlstadt in Bavaria, Germany.

Johnny soon found Tom's mother, who was still working in the largest vineyard in the area, and his two younger sisters, who were working on the farm.

Tom's father died in a flu last year.

Johnny found all the people on the list that Tom had given him in the town of Karlstadt, which were basically the living relatives of the current backbone of the Smith family, as well as the families of the core members who had sacrificed for Tom.

When he was in New York, Tom was still pretending to be harmless, and now Tom is in Texas and is going to tear his skin and fight the Yankees.

Do everything possible to deal with the problems that may arise, and also set an example so that the existing backbone can rest assured that Tom will die.

Bavaria, the core agricultural region of Germany, the future North German Confederation and the core of the Second German Reich, is one of the most powerful states in German history, but it is full of famine and disease.

Not just Bavaria, Johnny didn't see the slightest wealth or prosperity in Germany when he was looking for people on the other lists.

Probably only the carriages of the Junker aristocracy and their estates could see the few well-fed people in the whole of Germany.

Even Tom's three immediate family members who work on the farm, his mother and two younger sisters, are starving as if they were working in a workplace that produces a lot of crops every year.

Johnny spent more than half a month and traveled to almost all regions of Germany, and finally only collected one-third of the people on the list, and the rest have become a link in the cycle of all things.

After a few days of rectification, Johnny led nearly 100 people and set off from the port of Holstein in Germany on a luxurious paddle steamer.

As for the Prussian conscription officers and customs, did they obstruct?

For these people, how can the population loss of Germany be as important as the hot mark in their hands?

They have already marked the price of the problem of smuggling people in the German region, and the children are not deceived.

"Cousin Johnny, why should I be called Amy Smith in the future, isn't my surname Trump?"

"Because your brother told you to do it."

"Cousin Johnny, didn't you use to be surnamed Schneider? Why is the surname Smith too? ”

"Because your brother told me to do it."

"Cousin Johnny, I heard you say that Cousin Rocky Schmidt is also surnamed Smith, why?"

"Because your brother told him to do it."

"Isn't my brother's name Frederick Trump now? Why is his name Tom Smith? ”

“……”

Sitting in the luxurious box, Tom's mother, who has been a vineyard picker all her life, and Alice, the younger sister of the twin sisters, are a little reserved to sit in such a luxurious environment.

Even though their clothes are exactly the same as their surroundings - full of Victorian extravagance, their inner admiration for wealth has not changed because of the clothes they wear on the outside.

On the contrary, it is the more lively sister of the twins, who has been asking Johnny questions along the way.

In addition to the four people who were indeed related to Tom in the wing, there were also three brothers and sisters who were also seated on the sofa in the wing.

The three siblings are the elder brother John Muller and his twin sisters, Mia Muller and Rena.

In addition to answering Amy's questions, Johnny kept an eye on John Mueller, a taller and sturlier "fellow" than him.

Unlike the other six people present, John's English name was not arranged by Tom, but changed by John himself.

He had long wanted to flee with his two sisters to the United States of America, the legendary "Pure Land", and whether it was English or English names, he had already prepared them in advance.

At the same time, John was also a childhood neighbor and teenager "colleague" of Tom during his time in Germany, and John's parents were also "colleagues" of Tom's parents during their lifetime.

Under Penny's pick-up, Johnny easily invited John, and took the three John's siblings on the boat to Houston together.

In the sixties of the nineteenth century, paddle steamers sailed from North Germany for about half a month to a month before they finally arrived in New York Harbor, USA, and if they wanted to go to Houston, it would take at least a month or more.

Considering that the paddle steamer was not the cargo ship that Tom was on when he was smuggling, but an ocean-going tourist ship with a high fare, and the boats were basically upper-class people from Europe and the United States.

How could the upper echelons put up with paddle steamers pulling cargo at maximum speed across the treacherous North Atlantic?

The paddle steamer is estimated to take another month and a half to reach Houston.

A month and a half of life at sea is enough for seven people to get acquainted with each other, especially the four little girls about ten years old, under the initiative of the most lively Amy, the four little girls soon jumped in the big wing every day and played.

As the only middle-aged woman present, Penny is responsible for chasing the lives of the four little naughty spirits every day, taking care of the four little girls.

Johnny and John, on the other hand, sat in the living room of the wing room at the beginning, staring at each other with wide eyes every day.

After about a week, it was John reading, and Johnny was waiting for John, watching John read.

Unlike Tom's semi-literate family, John was literate, he knew almost all the German words and most of the English vocabulary, and some of the reading materials in the room were quickly read by John.

"Cousin Johnny, can't we go out to dinner?"

"With such a big ship, there should be more food in the restaurant, right?"

"We eat caviar and foie gras every day, and all four of us are tired of eating them."

Amy looked at the lunch brought by her men, looked at the same luxurious meal as yesterday, and showed Johnny that she wanted something else.

He also took advantage of the situation to pull the remaining three little girls into the water.

The three little girls also nodded their heads, which were discussed by the four little girls in advance, and their fun-loving nature was completely released in these days when they didn't need to work.

Previously, when they were in Germany, the four little girls had been helping their parents every day since they were seven or eight years old.

In vineyards with a large number of non-heavy physical strength, the workload of teenage juvenile employees can even be comparable to that of most adults.

After finally getting rid of the life of getting up early and being greedy for darkness, the four little girls began to become more and more presumptuous.

They are eager to play freely on this huge paddle steamer, rather than being confined to this "small" luxury suite of only a few hundred square meters.

"No, no, you can't leave the chamber, because your brother ......"

"Because your brother told me to do it."

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The four little girls followed Johnny's tone in unison, repeating what Johnny has been saying the most these days—because you just told us to do it.

"Indeed, it was because your brother told me to do this."

Johnny was a little embarrassed by the four little girls, but he still insisted on Tom's command to contact outsiders as little as possible, especially the people on the core list.

Although Johnny doesn't understand why John and his two sisters are also on the core list, he obeys Tom's orders.
