The promotion of East African cuisine cannot be rushed now, this matter must be done by Ernst himself, but he is still in Europe, so he will hold off for a while and wait until he arrives in East Africa to make plans.

……

July 12, 1871.

New York, USA.

The post-Civil War United States was unprecedentedly prosperous, as Jonathan, the managing director of North America at Heshingen Bank, has witnessed over the past three years.

The Heshingen Bank landed in North America three years ago, in fact, there was a North American business liaison office earlier, but there was no Heshingen Bank at that time, and it was still when Ernst was just starting out in Berlin, and it was not until the establishment and expansion of the Heshingen Bank that it officially landed on this fertile soil.

"Another migrant ship?" Jonathan, who was walking with his wife on the beach, said.

Wife Angela: "It is estimated that it is Italian, there are indeed many Italians who have recently come to the Americas, and some time ago, there were Italians landing in New York almost every day, and it seems that the situation in the Kingdom of Italy is not very good." ”

Jonathan: "Hehehe, that's deserved, provoked us Germans, how can it end well." ”

Jonathan, as a German, independently regarded Austria-Hungary as the homeland of the Germans, and now has a second choice - Germany, but in the past, most people abroad still used the banner of Austria, and at that time only the Austrian Empire was the top power.

Angela: "Jonathan, it's good to say these things at home, don't say them outside, in case they are heard by someone who cares, you may be in trouble." ”

Jonathan: "I know honey, but it's just the two of us here, I'm just saying that." ”

Angela is mainly worried that Jonathan's words will cause unnecessary trouble if they are heard by the Italian immigrant community, the Italian immigrant community in the United States is famous, the revolutionary party and gang members are mixed, and a few days ago, the Austro-Hungarian Empire forced the Kingdom of Italy to expel a large number of "patriots", so the Italian immigrants in the United States are quite full of martial arts.

New York is the first stop for many Italian immigrants, and there are many Italian groups here to pick up the boat and then pull people, so it is better to be careful on the streets, there may be a lot of presence in the crowd. The most famous gangs in the United States are now almost all controlled by Italians.

In 1845-1850, the Great Famine in Ireland brought millions of Irish refugees to the United States.

At that time, it was the early days of American democracy, the separation of powers had just been established, and any new immigrants had the right to vote, so these Irishmen were the main targets of American politicians. At first, politicians bribed these Irish people by finding jobs, arranging nationality and other preferential terms, but as the competition intensified, corrupt politicians demanded to attack their opponents, and of course there were many ways. Kidnappings, blackmail, intimidation, and so on, and the Irish henchmen cultivated by these politicians became the original gangsters in the United States.

But now that the Irish are outdated, the Italian gangs are mostly battle-hardened veterans with strict discipline and size, and are more popular with employers than the low-grade gangs in Ireland.

Fueled by Ernst, it also contributed to the development of Italian gangsters in the United States.

Paraguay as a small country does not have many Italian immigrants, and most of them are Venetians, although Argentina and other South American countries also welcome Italian immigrants, but in the end, more Italians go to the United States, mainly because the United States has a large base of Italian immigrants, and calling friends can always play a role.

Italian refugees contacted relatives in the U.S. to inquire about the situation, and then became sellers who came to the U.S. now.

Penniless Italian refugees, when they arrive in the United States, what awaits them is not paradise, but the "love" of their fellow countrymen.

……

On the wharf, there was a sea of people, and the migrant ship finally docked, and many Italians were dizzy because of seasickness, and some even did not wrap their stomachs for a long time, and their bodies were vain, but the shipowner had begun to rush people impatiently.

"Hey, poor ghost! You've arrived in America, freedom is here, heaven is here, so get off my boat. ”

"Don't grind! Didn't you wake up? Hurry up and get out of here! ”

"Hey, don't die on my ship, you can die in the sea, the sailors drag him down for me."

Finally, an hour later, the owner drove all the people off the boat.

"Captain Murney! This is some of the boat fare that we have collected from the Chamber of Commerce, and we thank you for your kindness in saving so many Italians. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Babur, you're welcome! This is what I should do! ”

Meni, who was still fierce just now, seemed to have a different face, smiling at Babur, completely impatient with the Italian just now, after all, he was the one who sent money to himself.

Babur, one of the representatives of the Italians in New York, paid shipowners like Mooney because three months ago they had received a horrific incident.

In order to make more money, some black-hearted shipowners threw the Italians who came to the United States into the open sea, gave them a few small boats, and then left them to fend for themselves, so they hurriedly went to pull the next one.

As a result, one of the survivors was rescued by a passing merchant ship, and the incident was in the newspapers, and seeing the great suffering of their compatriots, the Italian patriots in the United States thought of a way to raise money to pay the shipowners, so that they could get an additional income for each group of Italians they brought to the United States.

The requirement must be all living Italians and the ship is full to get the money, and the lure finally put an end to such incidents.

Of course, the patriots did not have so much money, because they also had to support the cause of Italian unification, which was very expensive, so the sponsors were mainly Italian gangsters.

And the Italian gangsters now need manpower to operate in the United States, so the Italians who have just disembarked once again feel the enthusiasm of the "fellow countrymen".

"Hey, brother, I'm hungry! I just have some bread and water here. ”

"Really...... Thank you so much, sir! ”

"Eat slowly, don't choke, there's water!"

Later.

"Where are you from in Italy?"

"Lombardy!"

"It's a great place, I've been in Sicily before, and I've heard that Lombardy is the best place in Italy."

"It's a pity it's not anymore, the war has destroyed it."

"Don't be sad, brother, since you have come to the United States, everything will be fine!"

"I hope so!"

"Brother, did you come to the United States to seek refuge with your relatives?"

"My family died in Italy."

"Condolences change!"

"It's okay, these days, I've been relieved, especially on the boat, I feel like I'm dying, but the moment I set foot on land, I feel alive!"

"Then you are alone, do you have a place to live, a job, and how to make ends meet in the United States?"

"This ......"

"Alas, sure enough, you, like the people before you, ran to the United States in a daze, at least find out the situation and get ready to come again!"

"So what should I do?"

"Hehe, fortunately you met me, our company is recruiting, and the boss is also Italian, are you interested in joining us?"

"Really?"

"Of course, if you look at my suit, you can't imagine that I was just a refugee from the poorest part of Italy! In the United States, as long as you dare to think and fight, there is a chance to make a fortune! ”

Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, the man continued: "Don't worry, fellow don't lie to fellow countryman, I also help you for the sake of being a fellow Italian." ”
