Chapter 351: Most valuable and least valuable

In Central America, after three years of operation, Governor Hummer has almost allotted the local power.
Naturally, the willingness to accept the collection is to continue to occupy a high position, and those who are stubborn and resistant will naturally be harmonized. Austria has accumulated rich experience in this regard.
Take Nicaragua as an example. There are more than 300,000 people in the country. Most of them are Indians. White immigrants and mixed-race children also have tens of thousands. What is it against Austria?
The countries in Central America are similar, and the land is not extensive and it is rare. If guerrillas were to be run, Austrian shots would not be needed, and the local Indian tribes would wipe them out.
The Habsburgs were also their co-owners, and their ancestors also loyal to Charles V. It is far-fetched to say that there is still a bit of legality, and the powerful fists have suppressed the disobedience, and the rest have always supported the rule of Emperor Franz.
The interests of ordinary people have not been damaged, and naturally there is no hatred.
The main reason for the independence that year was because Spain was maimed by the French. The miners and capitalists did not want to pay taxes to Spain, and the bureaucrats wanted independence and followed the trend.
Perhaps it is not possible to use "men", how can a small country have so many capitalists and miners? In fact, even one or several families want to be independent, otherwise Central America would not be divided into so many countries.
Now it doesn't matter. With the influx of immigrants, even if some people are unwilling, they will not be able to turn the tide.
In the San Jose Central American Governor ’s Office, John Radford, an immigration officer, said: "The Governor, Colombia has refused immigration into the Panama area, and they also requested that the immigrants be separated and resettled and not be brought together.
There is no doubt that since Mexico paid an IQ tax to Americans, everyone has learned its lessons and warned foreign immigrants.
Colombia naturally lacks immigration, and Panama has not yet gained independence. It now has an area of ​​more than 1.2 million square kilometers and a population of just over two million, of which there are about 100,000 people in Panama.
Without immigration restrictions, who knows when the Republic of Colombia will change owners?
This is why the South American countries have not developed. Because the local population is too small, they dare not take the liberty to accept a large number of immigrants.
Take the Republic of Colombia as an example. It only takes four or five million immigrants to turn them into a German nation.
In this context, of course, everyone must be vigilant. The rejection of German immigrants into the Panama region was a concern that Austria had turned the region into a colony that day.
There is nothing to blame for this. Governor Hummel is indeed paying attention to the Panamanian region. Can't we still let people resist?
Central America is the most suitable for digging the canal in Panama. This is an indispensable part of Austria's American strategy and must be in its hands.
Governor Hummer asked, "Did the parliamentarians we bought help speak?"
In this era, corruption is a common feature of all countries, especially the emerging republics such as Colombia.
Immigration officer John Radford explained: "Our public relations activities have been boycotted by outside forces. The preliminary judgment is that the British are acting as ghosts, and the French may also participate.
A number of pro-British MPs have publicly objected. They have put forward the Austrian threat theory, saying that once we gain a foothold in Latin America, expansion is inevitable, and Colombia is the first. "
Hummer had nothing to say. He acknowledged his interest in Colombia and, although there were no clear plans, voices for expansion into the Colombian region had already been made.
There is no other reason, just because Colombia is too weak. In this age of weak meat and strong food, it's no surprise to be everyone's prey target.
Of course, it is impossible to attack the Republic of Colombia directly. The labor division's expedition in South America fought such a war, and the high cost of war was enough to discourage the Vienna government.
Austria is not Spain. If Franz is the king of Spain, then there is no need to say that it will definitely kill South America again.
Feudal tumors have not been wiped out in this era, and there is a royalist power in South American countries. These people can re-establish rule as long as they defeat the enemy militaryly.
Then, even if the cost of war is a little higher, it is worthwhile to exchange for a larger space for development.
Forget it in Austria. Hispanics and Germans are completely different peoples, and they want to gain their identity, unless they deal with Central American countries.
First, they can be defeated by force, forcibly establish rule, and then organize a large number of immigrants and dilute them into ethnic minorities.
After hesitating for a moment, Governor Hummer made the decision: "Bribery to local officials in Panama resulted in the established fact of immigration.
Forgery of immigration status can be done in France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and so on. Send someone to inquire, and these immigrants must be resettled.
The Panamanian area could not be resettled, so I resettled inland in Colombia, and the government invested to buy land for them.
If someone messes us up, we will find a way to get rid of it. This is related to our national policy in the future, and it cannot be undermined by anyone. "
This is not the first time that Austria has sent Colombia to Colombia. It's just that the fronts are all petty, sending tens of thousands of people every year. Because of the American Civil War, everyone should only treat them as normal immigrants, and they have not caught the attention of the Colombian government.
Over time, the number of immigrants has increased dramatically, and this hidden immigration activity has been exposed.
The number of Germans has increased dramatically, accounting for one-fifth of the number of whites, and if not restricted, more than half of the numbers are just around the corner.
Oh, don't look at the one-fifth number, it's actually tens of thousands. The population base is small and there is no way.
In Panama alone, there are now 20,000 Germans, and the Colombian government that responded naturally would stop it.
You must know that the total population of Panama is only 100,000, and Germans are almost one fifth. This is one-fifth of the total regional population, but it is not just one-fifth of white immigrants. It has exceeded the total number of other white immigrants.
Theoretically, the local rule will fall into the hands of the Germans within ten years. This is a characteristic of democratically elected countries, and nations with many votes will naturally take advantage.
John Radford replied, "Okay, Your Excellency, our Immigration Department will do our best."
Governor Hummer nodded and sighed again. If it were not for the end of the American Civil War, he would not be willing to make such a big move.
It is easy for immigrants to resettle. The land in the Americas is not valuable, but according to it, it is not just a division of land. It is also necessary to guarantee the normal life of immigrants.
In less than four years, the resettlement of 380,000 immigrants in Central America and the transfer of more than 60,000 immigrants to Colombia was an extraordinary achievement.
This is the last wave of immigration. Once the civil war is over, all walks of life in the United States will be abolished, and opportunities for everyone will come. The number of people who want to leave will definitely be greatly reduced.
As a last resort, Hummer could only make big moves. It was not just the beginning that it was discovered by the Colombian government.
Either way, the migration strategy has succeeded. Austria's rule in Central America was established, and the people who took the land became the basis of the rule.
By the end of the last wave of immigration, the number of local Germans will exceed 500,000. This number has exceeded 20% of the total population and is 1.5 times the number of other white immigrants in the area.
If the Government of Vienna is willing, it can immediately stir up a Central American kingdom.
Of course, Franz will definitely not do this. Even if it is to support a kingdom, that is the future.
Having just gone through a civil war is enough to make the American people reflect on two decades, during which time they should be fairly at ease.
...
Governor Mr. Hummer asked, "Mr. Claus, how much of our fiscal revenue will we have this year, and how much will our fiscal deficit increase?"
Strategically successful, but economically serious losses. Even though the colonial government worked very hard, Central America was quite affluent, but with the bottomless pit of immigration, government revenue was really not enough.
The Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Claus, calculated: "This year's fiscal revenue is about 7 million Aegis, which is an increase of 21% compared to last year. The main revenue is still minerals and tariffs. In addition, the growth rate of transaction tax is also very fast fast.
This year's fiscal deficit depends on the number of immigrants behind. Basically all immigrants have applied for interest-free consideration. Although the money is paid by themselves, the interest must be borne by us.
According to preliminary estimates, this year's fiscal deficit will be between 6 million and 7 million Aegis. If an offensive is to be launched against indigenous tribes, there will be an additional 700,000 Aegis military expenditure. "
Fiscal deficits are as high as 100%. It is estimated that few countries dare to ask for such a colony. No way, this is the price of big immigrants.
An interest-free loan of 200 SHIELD per person, 100,000 migrants is 20 million SHIELD, and even if the bank calculates interest to the government at 3% annual interest, 600,000 SHIELD interest will be required each year.
Other expenses are not counted. The interest cost alone is an astronomical figure. Fortunately, as long as two years, if the time is long, the colonial government will certainly not be able to bear it.
Hummel calculated and said, "Large-scale immigration is in the last year, and loan interest expenses can be up to two years.
Starting next year, there will be no resettlement and resettlement costs. Mr. Claus, can you calculate when we can break even and how long will it take to recover the investment? "
It is forbidden that Governor Hummer does not care. For the Central American colonies, the Vienna government has invested tens of millions of SHIELDs, and is still continuing to invest.
It may be called the most expensive colony opened by Austria, but the income is not so optimistic.
In addition to a few tons of gold that can be mined each year and one hundred and eighty tons of silver, they can only sell timber and export some agricultural products.
Resources such as copper, iron, lead, zinc, and aluminum are not currently valued at high levels, and it is difficult to sell raw ore on the international market.
To refine industrial products, forget it. This requires a huge investment of capital, and the colonial government is not so arrogant.
Planting cash crops, mining precious metals, and selling industrial raw materials are the correct path for the colonial economy.
Klaus thought for a while and said, "After the immigration work is over, another five years can begin to achieve a balance of payments.
If you want to recover the capital cost of the investment, this time is a bit long, it may take 20 years, or even longer. "
This is a big problem facing the colonial government. The high investment of the Central American colonies has caused a lot of opposition in the country.
Unlike the development of African colonies, there are many beneficiaries in the country, and the losses are not so serious.
The immigrants from the Central American colonies from the mainland are only a few. Most of them are immigrants from the United States. This part of the talents is the beneficiaries.
Many people within the government are attacking the Central American strategy, demanding that the forces invested in the Central American region be withdrawn and put on the African continent.
However, under the strong request of Franz, he was suppressed. However, the attack on the Central American colonial government has never stopped, and Hummer urgently needs to make achievements to prove the correctness of opening the Central American colony.
To achieve this is very difficult, first of all, the strategic value will not be reflected in the short term, otherwise there will not be so many people have opinions.
Economic value, it is very regrettable that it is still in a state of net loss. Even if the hidden gains were calculated, the colonial government was still losing money.
It is not even possible to supply industrial raw materials to the country. There is no shortage of industrial raw materials produced in these regions in Austria.
