Chapter 101: Flicker, flicker
"Sir, if East Africa really does what you say, that's not bad, but someone from the next village is going to the United States, so it should be okay there! I heard that the United States has developed well in the past two years! ”
Also know about the United States! Eric Knight was a little surprised, it seemed that these villagers still had access to some news.
"What about America! If it used to be a good place, now it is much worse than the East African colonies, do you know that the United States has only been fighting for a long time? Eric Knight asked rhetorically.
"I heard a few years ago that the United States is fighting fiercely, but isn't Germany also fighting? There was a fight between Prussia and Austria a while ago, and the kingdom (Württemberg) was in a state of panic. A villager said.
"Of course it's different, the war in Germany is to unify our nation and not be bullied by outsiders in the future, and you may not know the inside story of the war in the United States, I'll tell you!"
Eric Knight mysteriously analyzed the "insider" information he knew with the villagers: "This is America! In the past, like the East African colonies, there were not many people, and the land was wasted, of course, there were Indians in the United States, and they were killed by the British, and we all know that the British are rich, so they are lazy! They couldn't work themselves, and as a result, the Indians were wiped out too quickly, and there was no one to work for them, so they recruited people from Africa and Europe to farm and dig coal for them. ”
Eric Knight returned to his seat, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and continued: "This African, the long one called a black, stands in the dark and can't see anyone at all. ”
"Sir, does this Africa have anything to do with the East Africa you are talking about?" A villager asked curiously.
"Of course, this slave trade, I guess you have all heard of it, is that the British pulled blacks from Africa to the United States to farm, so there was no one in this African land, and those lands were wasted, so we Germans went to develop the East African colonies." Eric Knight's serious nonsense.
"Phew, this Englishman is really not a thing, but I heard that this black man is not a good thing, he looks like a monkey, and he is stupid." Some villagers said.
"Almost, almost." Eric Knight said happily.
"The British are divided into two waves, one is the southerners, who specialize in using black slaves to farm, and the other is the northerners, who open factories while farming, and the British factories are not good things, they are all black! Working day and night every day, this worker is short-lived, this worker is recruited from us, Italy, Ireland, anyway, the British don't feel distressed, that person can still have a way to live! Eric Knight was alarmist.
"All the people in this factory are gone, what should I do if there is a shortage of people, and this factory can't be stopped, otherwise why are the British so rich? Is this the reason, so the northerners hit the idea of black slaves on the southern plantations, and wanted these black slaves to work in the northern factories, but the British slammed the door! I don't want to pay the British in the south, so I want to use people for nothing, and you say that you will do this, do you agree? ”
The villagers listened to Eric Knight's nonsense as if they were listening to a story, and someone said, "If you want me, I will definitely not agree." ”
"That's it! If you don't give money and want to prostitute workers for nothing, this southerner will definitely not agree, so the United States will fight. ”
"It's also the bad luck of the southerners, they haven't fought the north, and these blacks have entered the factory opened by the northerners of the United States, which is terrible, although there are many blacks, they can't stand such use! That's why we need to continue to recruit people from us, I ask you, do you still want to go? Eric Knight said.
"Then you can't go!"
"That's it, I didn't expect Americans to be so black-hearted, worthy of being a descendant of the British."
The villagers were talking.
……
"Okay, quiet, if you want to go to East Africa for development, you can start signing up now!"
Eric Knight stopped the villagers from talking.
"Sir, wouldn't this East African colony also want to open a factory and learn from the Americans!" A villager asked.
"Don't worry, the East African colonies are regular German colonies, that is the world of our Germans, we are all compatriots, how can we learn from the British and abuse us Germans."
Eric Knight said, and at the same time began to use the final killer weapon: "Everyone, maybe my words are not convincing, but now, I will ask the village chief to check it out." ”
The village chief sat on the side without speaking, and then said: "Don't worry, this East African colony is our German territory, and if you go, there is no difference between going and being in Germany, do you know which big man's territory this East African colony is?" ”
The villagers shook their heads.
"You should know the name of Prussia, right?"
"Village chief, I know, now people say that Prussia is the boss of Germany, and Austria has not fought."
"That's the reason, this East African colony is the territory of Prince Hexingen of Prussia, and it is full of our own people in Germany, this Prince Hexingen is a top nobleman, and his reputation is very reliable, that is, he remembered that our German place is too small, there are too many people, and there is not enough land, so he went overseas to open up the East African colony, so that our Germans can live a good life, so everyone has no land to plant, hurry up and sign up, don't miss the opportunity." The village chief said.
"Village Chief, is the news reliable?" A villager asked.
"Why am I lying to you? This news was told to me by the town's von Klay knight himself, and he said that it had been confirmed by our kingdom of Württemberg, and that the news was absolutely reliable and true. ”
"That is, His Royal Highness Prince Hexingen, kind-hearted, taking care of us Germans, Prince Hexingen is a great nobleman in Prussia who can talk to the king, his territory is next to Württemberg, and he is also considered a local, so I think of you when there are good things." The village chief said.
"Don't think about going to the city to do a job, do you know what kind of trade or did you go to school? There is no place for you in the city, and as for the United States, if you have a way, it doesn't matter if you go, don't waste your strength if you don't have a way, then the British can give you benefits for nothing? If you have the advantage, you will have to go early, but it will not be your turn. ”
"It's different when you go to the East African colonies, you still do your old job, the farmer does the crop work, no one can fool you, we have been doing this kind of land for generations, no one can fool you. Okay, I'll say so much, anyway, it's all a mess, and I must go to our own place in Germany, the difference is just that one is in Europe and the other is overseas, and overseas is not still the land of our Germans, which means that you have not left Germany, if you have ideas, sign up quickly, don't delay the time. The village chief said.
……
After a day and a night of consideration, most of the landless farmers chose to sign up, most of them were young people, with small families and no land to buy, so they chose to go to sea.
And those who originally had the idea of going to the United States, under the rumors of the staff of the Heixingen Foundation, gave up their plans to go to the United States and chose to go to East Africa instead, after all, East Africa has official certification.
The same scene appeared in Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria...... Even northern Austria, which borders Austria.
The first wave of mass migration of Germans to East Africa began.
