Chapter 659: Naturalized Man (2)
After the former Australian region was "managed" by China, it was called Nanzhan Chau, and the whole region was divided into five provinces.
The original state of Western Australia was changed to Western Australia, with the capital of Goose River (Perth), with an area of 2.53 million square kilometers. The former South Australia and Northern Territory were merged into the Central Province of Australia, with the capital of Long Harbour (Adelaide), covering an area of about 2.33 million square kilometers. The original Queensland was changed to the Northern Province of Australia, with the capital of Jichuan (Brisbane), covering an area of about 1.73 million square kilometers. The original state of New South Wales was changed to the eastern province of Australia, with the capital of Xuegang (Sydney), covering an area of about 805,000 square kilometers. The former states of Victoria and Tasmania (Yanfu Island) were merged into the province of Australia, with the capital of New Gold Mountain (Melbourne), covering an area of about 296,000 square kilometers.
When New Gold Hill was still called Melbourne, it was the largest city in Australia. From 1901 to 1927, Melbourne was the capital of Australia for 26 years. At that time, Melbourne was more prosperous than Sydney, and it was also one of the most populous cities in the British Empire at the time. As Sydney became more prosperous, Melbourne's status began to decline. But it still retains its status as the largest city.
However, the city is now very depressed, and the once bustling streets are sparsely populated, and there seem to be more military and police patrolling the streets than citizens. Many of the shops, businesses and entertainment venues on the street have their doors locked and sealed. The assets of these locals are ready to be valued and sold off. The few places that are open for business are also a bleak scene.
This is also something that cannot be helped, and now the city is still under military control, and some of the original local whites have been sent to labor camps and civilized schools, some are bargaining with appraisal companies, ready to sell local assets and run away, and some are under centralized management. Even the locals who are allowed to move freely are in the mood to go shopping because they are suspicious.
And immigrants from Chinese mainland are still in the preparation stage, and there is no large number of arrivals.
Not only is it the case with the new gold mountain, but the Australian cities are all in a similar situation, and now it can be said that this continent is in a time of scarcity.
On December 27, China's Australian Military Management Commission announced its decision to deal with Australian locals. The locals have three options, the first is to leave the Chinese jurisdiction and go to a place that is willing to receive them. The matter has been discussed with other countries, and Britain, the United States, South Africa, and Canada, as well as several autonomous states of the Indian peninsula, have all expressed acceptability.
Especially in South Africa, where they now have a small white population and are under a lot of pressure, they want to get more whites over. Australia, again, is an English-speaking group, so they are naturally welcome, and the South African government has said it can accept 1 million new Australian immigrants.
The United States also said that it could accept it in large quantities, and the Ghanaian comrades generously said that even if all the white people in Australia and New Zealand moved there, it would not be a problem. Well, the place where they will be placed, of course, will not be the mainland of the United States, but the three states of West Africa. The Yankees have grabbed more than 5 million square kilometers of territory in Africa, and it is precisely because a large number of people are needed to fill it, so they are naturally happy to accept it. Anyway, they are all Anglo-Saxon varieties, the same text and the same species, they can be fused directly, the best choice. Britain, as the boss, and fraternal countries like Canada naturally cannot lag behind, and they have also expressed their acceptance.
China then informed the Australian and New Zealand whites of the results and asked for their opinions. It has to be said that the anti-China tradition of Australia and New Zealand is deep-rooted, and in the past, they despised and discriminated against China, but now they have turned into hostility and hatred, and many people do not want to live under China's rule. When they learned that Britain and the United States and other countries were willing to take them in, many people said they wanted to leave. As of yesterday alone, more than 1.5 million white ANZ people asked to leave.
For these people, the Chinese government has said it will arrange for ships and airships to send them to South Africa, Canada, the United States and other places. Of course, it is okay to go to the UK, but the Chinese government has said that there is a war in Europe now, and China will not send them directly to the UK, at most they will send them to Canada, the United States and other places, and they will find their own way to go. Of course, these people are not stupid, and they will not run to Britain, which is bombed every day.
Among these countries, the United States is undoubtedly the strongest, and the three states of West Africa are all in the southern hemisphere, South Africa has the best environment, and Canada has the closest relationship, so these three countries have become the most popular choice for Australian, New Zealand whites.
Now, these people are busy dealing with their own property and liaising with the consulates general of these countries in Australia. Well, that is, the original embassy, which has now been downgraded to a consulate general. After China took over, the original embassy area was not relocated, and it was still in Juhui City (Canberra).
In addition to the option of leaving the Chinese jurisdiction, Australian and New Zealand whites can also choose to naturalize and become Chinese. Everyone knows that the difficulty of naturalization in my Datian # Dynasty is traditional, and it has been like this since the Qing Dynasty, and the Science and Technology Socialist Party has also continued this style. In normal times, if you do not have certain achievements, or if you are not married or related by blood to Chinese, it is very difficult to become a naturalized citizen.
However, there is a shortcut, that is, when China annexes new territories, these aborigines in the new territories can easily obtain Chinese nationality. The treatment of the aborigines of the new territories in China led by Wen Desi was different from that of the world's mainstream powers at that time, and Wen Desi did not like massacres very much, so he never had to slaughter to solve the population problem of the new territories, and he pursued a policy of assimilation, a real policy of national integration!
Therefore, as long as the aborigines of the new territory meet the three basic conditions of "speaking Chinese, identifying with Chinese culture, and being civilized", and are willing to swear allegiance to China, and do not have any bad records after China administers the land, they can obtain Chinese nationality, which is much easier than usual.
Finally, there is another option, which is neither to leave the Chinese jurisdiction nor to become Chinese. For these people, the Chinese government has also generously given them the opportunity and will not expel them immediately. But these people are to leave their original places of residence. They will be centrally managed, their property temporarily frozen and sealed, and they will be engaged in various collective labor in exchange for their daily needs. Until they make a decision.
Well, the white-skinned people are not stupid, they will know this "third way" after a little pondering, and Nyima is not a disguised labor reform?
..............................................................................
December 30, Republic 2782 (1941). New Jinshan No. 1 Middle School.
In this city where everything is depressed, the entrance of the No. 1 Middle School is very lively. A large group of men and women stood at the school gate, chattering and talking. There were about 500 of them, mostly Caucasian, and some looked like mixed-race, men and women, young and old.
A month ago, these people were Australians, but now there is no such thing as Australia. But the country is gone, and people still have to live.
While nearly half of them have chosen or are about to leave, more than half are reluctant to leave. This is also a very normal thing, after all, for most commoners, the first thing to pursue is their own life, as long as they live better, they will not mind who their ruler is. In addition, historically, Europeans did not attach much importance to the nationality or race of their rulers, for example, the British royal family and upper nobility were not British since 800 years ago.
"Snobbery" is a common trait of human beings, all people are very snobbish, and the same is true for white skin. Before the 16th century, the whiteskins worshipped China in various ways, and in their description, China was a paradise on earth. Because China was much more bullish than them at that time, a small soldier in Kaifeng City in the Song Dynasty lived better than many of their nobles, and naturally they knelt and licked. Later, after the Renaissance, their life began to get better, but China was going downhill, so they began to look at China in the eye.
After the Opium War in the nineteenth century, China's image plummeted, and the white skin no longer looked down on China. The reason for this is that because China is backward and is always being cared for, even a small fart country like Belgium can show off its power in China. Naturally, it is contempt, discrimination and disregard......
But their sense of superiority did not last long, because there was a Wende heir in the East, and soon China, which was despised by all kinds, began to rise and revive at a jaw-dropping speed. In less than 20 years, a big drama of "the return of the king" was staged. The dragon of the East, which had been dormant for many years, woke up and began to watch the world with hungry and greedy eyes. This terrifying monster stepped into the stage of the great powers with a supreme majesty, and swallowed countless sacrifices in a row.
On the one hand, they were extremely wary of China, but on the other hand, they also recalled that China used to be the thousand-year-old hegemon of the Eastern world.
As a result, they began to kneel and lick China again, although out of inertial thinking, there are still relatively few people in the white-skinned camp, but the speed of development is getting faster and faster. Especially after the outbreak of World War II, some smart people realized that whether they wanted it or not, the world of the future was no longer white people who had the final say. Especially in the East, when China, the natural hegemon, returned to the throne, the power of the white people was completely out of touch with the Eastern world.
Coupled with China's strong cultural export for decades, various films, animations and games, as well as the brainwashing of various literary works, there are more and more such "medium sticks", "five cents" and "fine middle", especially among young people.
In Australia, the same kind of people exist. Although there are still many people waiting and hesitating, many people already want to be Chinese.
"Hey, I've heard that this Chinese level 4 is so difficult to ......" said a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and his companion: "I learned Chinese from games and animation, I don't know if I can pass ......"
A young man with a freckled face next to him said, "I heard that the first exam will be more lenient. And this exam is very humane, and the subjects that have passed this time will not be taken next time......"
"Jeremy, do you have confidence?" said a chubby middle-aged man with a smile to his companion. He himself felt like he was sure.
His companion, Jeremy, is a middle-aged man with dark hair. Jeremy nodded and said, "I don't think there will be any problems, I have always been very friendly to the Chinese, I have helped them a little before, and this time an official came to my house and gave me a medal." Look at ......," he said, and he pulled out a silver medal from his bosom.
The fat middle-aged man leaned over to take a look and read: "Second Class Friendship Medal...... He suddenly exclaimed: "You have this thing and use it for the exam? You can go to citizenship directly......"
"It's not difficult to become a naturalized citizen, but I want to become a citizen directly, and I can add 30 points to this medal......" Jeremy said with a little smugness.
