Holy Roman Empire

After three years of operation in Central America, Governor Humel has almost packed up the local power.

The nature that is willing to accept the collection is to continue to occupy a high position, and the recalcitrant generation is naturally 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. There are only tens of thousands of white immigrants and mixed-race children. What is it against Austria?

All countries in Central America are similar, but the land is not wide, but it is still rare.If you run to fight guerrillas, you do n’t need Austrian shots, and the local Indian tribes slap them.

The Habsburg family was also their co-owner, and their ancestors also loyal to Charles V.A bit far-fetched, and still a little bit unruly, plus the powerful fists have suppressed the dissatisfaction, and the rest have always supported the rule of Franz Emperor.

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. Miners and capitalists did not want to pay taxes to Spain, and bureaucrats wanted more rights, so they followed independence.

Perhaps it is not possible to use "men". How could there be so many capitalists and miners in a small country?In fact, even one or several families want to be independent, otherwise Central America will not split into so many countries.

It doesn't matter now. With the influx of immigrants, even if someone is not reconciled, they can't make waves.

In the San Jose Governor's Mansion, the Foreign Affairs Officer of the Immigration Department, John Radford, reported: "His Excellency, Colombia has refused immigrants to enter the Panama area. They also demanded that the immigrants break up their settlement and cannot be brought together.

There is no doubt that since Mexico paid an IQ tax to Americans, everyone has learned a lesson and warned immigrants.

Colombia is naturally short of immigrants, and Panama has not yet become independent. It now has a territory of more than 1.2 million square kilometers and a population of just over two million, of which there are about 100,000 in the Panama area.

If immigration is not restricted, who knows when the Republic of Colombia will change ownership?

This is also the reason why South American countries have not developed.Because the local population is too small, they dare not take the risk of accepting a large number of immigrants.

Take the Republic of Colombia as an example. Only four or five hundred thousand immigrants can turn them into a German-American country.

Against this background, of course everyone must be vigilant.Refusing German immigrants to enter the Panama area was concerned that Austria turned the area into a colony that day.

There is nothing to blame. Governor Humel is indeed paying attention to the Panama area. Can't he still make people resist?

The most suitable place for digging a canal in Central America is the Panama region, which is an indispensable part of Austria ’s America strategy and must be in its hands.

Governor Humel asked: "Did the congressman we bought out help speak?"

In this era, corruption is a common feature of all countries, especially the emerging republic of Colombia, which is even more mixed.

Immigration officer John Radford explained: "Our public relations activities have been resisted by outside forces. The preliminary judgment is that the British have made a ghost, and the French may also participate.

A number of pro-British parliamentarians publicly objected, and they put forward the Austrian threat theory, saying that once we have a firm foothold in Latin America, we must expand and Colombia bears the brunt."

Hummel has nothing to say. He admitted that he has an interest in Colombia. Although there is no clear plan, the voice of expansion into the Colombian area has been generated.

There is no other reason, because Colombia is too weak.In this era of weak meat and strong food, there is nothing strange about being a predator.

Of course, it is impossible to attack the Republic of Colombia directly.The expedition of laborers to fight such a battle in South America, the high cost of war is enough to deter the government of Vienna.

Austria is not Spain. If Franz is the king of Spain, he has no reason to say that he will definitely kill South America again.

In this era, feudal tumors have not yet been wiped out. There are royalist forces in all countries in South America. These people can re-establish rule as long as they kill the enemy militarily.

Well, even if the cost of war is a little higher, it is worthwhile in exchange for a larger space for development.

Forget it, Austria. Hispanics and Germans are completely different peoples, and they want to gain their approval unless they deal with Central American countries.

First of all, it is necessary to fight the disabled by force, to establish a rule, and then to organize a large number of immigrants and dilute them into ethnic minorities.

After hesitating for a while, Governor Hummel made the decision: "Bribing local officials in Panama has caused the established facts of immigration.

Fake immigration status can be done in France, Britain, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, etc. Send someone to do some work, and these immigrants must be resettled.

The Panama area could not be resettled, so I settled in the interior of Colombia, and the government funded the purchase of land for them.

If someone troubles us, we will try to get rid of it.This is related to our future national policy, and no one can disrupt it."

This is not the first time Austria has sent Colombia to immigrants.It's just that there is a lot of trouble in the front, sending 10,000 people every year. Because of the American Civil War, everyone is only a normal immigrant and has not attracted the attention of the Colombian government.

With the passage of time, the number of immigrants increased sharply, and this kind of hidden immigration activities was still exposed.

The number of Germans has increased dramatically, accounting for one-fifth of the number of whites. If not restricted, more than half of the number is just around the corner.

Oh, don't look at the one-fifth figure is very large, in fact, there are only tens of thousands of people.The population base is small and there is no way.

In Panama alone, there are now 20,000 Germans, and the Colombian government who responded to it will naturally stop it.

It should be known that the total population of Panama is only one hundred thousand, and the Germans are almost one-fifth.This is one-fifth of the total population of the region, but not only one-fifth of white immigrants, it has exceeded the sum of the remaining white immigrants.

Theoretically, the local rule will fall into the hands of the Germans within ten years.This is characteristic of a democratically elected country, and a nation with a large number of votes will naturally prevail.

John Radford replied: "Okay, Excellency, our immigration office will do our best to complete."

Governor Humel nodded and sighed again.If it were not for the end of the American Civil War, he would not be willing to engage in such a big move.

Immigrants are easy to resettle, and land in the Americas is not valuable, but according to not only dividing a piece of land, but also must guarantee the normal life of immigrants.

In less than four years, Central America has placed 380,000 immigrants and sent more than 60,000 immigrants to Colombia. This is a remarkable achievement.

This is the last wave of immigration.Once the civil war is over, all walks of life in the United States are in vain, and opportunities for everyone will come, and those who want to leave will definitely be greatly reduced.

Forcibly, Humel can only make big moves.This was not just started, but was discovered by the Colombian government.

In any case, the immigration strategy was successful.Austria ’s rule in Central America was established, and the people who got 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 figure has exceeded 20% of the total population and is 1.5 times the number of other white immigrants on the ground.

If the Vienna government is willing, a Central American kingdom can come out immediately.

Of course Franz will certainly not do this, even if he wants to support a kingdom, that is also the future.

Having just experienced a civil war is enough to make the American people reflect on it for two decades, during which time they should be quite peaceful.

...

Governor Humel asked: "Mr. Claus, how much of our fiscal revenue this year, and how much will the fiscal deficit increase?"

Strategically successful, it has suffered severe economic losses.Even if the colonial government worked very hard, the Central American region is also quite affluent, but with the bottomless hole of immigrants, the government ’s fiscal revenue is really not enough.

The Finance Minister Claus calculated: "This year's fiscal revenue is about 7 million Aegis, which is an increase of 21% over last year. The main revenue is still minerals and tariffs, and the transaction tax growth rate is also very high. fast.

This year's fiscal deficit depends on the number of immigrants behind.Basically, all immigrants have applied for the interest-free price. Although the money is paid by themselves, we still bear the interest.

According to preliminary estimates, this year's fiscal deficit will be between 6 million and 7 million Aegis. If you want to attack the indigenous tribes, there will be an additional 700,000 Aegis military expenses."

The budget deficit is as high as 100%. It is estimated that few countries like this colony dare to ask for it.No way, this is the price of great immigration.

For an interest-free loan of 200 Aegis per person, 100,000 immigrants would be 20 million Aegis. Even if a bank pays interest to the government at a rate of 3% per annum, the interest will be 600,000 AED per year.

Other expenses are not counted. The interest cost alone is an astronomical figure. Fortunately, as long as two years, if the time is longer, the colonial government will certainly not be able to bear it.

Hu Meier figured it out and said: "This is the last year of large-scale immigration, and the loan interest expense is at most two years.

Starting next year, there will be no more immigration and resettlement costs.Mr. Claus, you calculate when we can achieve breakeven and how long it will take to recover the investment."

The Governor Humer did not care, and for the Central American colony, the Vienna government invested tens of millions of Aegis, and it is still in continuous investment.

It can be called the most expensive colony developed by Austria, but the benefits are not so optimistic.

In addition to mining several tons of gold per year and 180 tons of silver, they can only sell wood and export some agricultural products.

Resources such as copper, iron, lead, zinc, aluminum, etc., are not high in mining value, and it is difficult to sell raw ore in the international market at a high price.

If you want to refine industrial products, forget it.This again required a large amount of capital investment, and the colonial government was not so bold.

Growing cash crops, mining precious metals, and selling industrial raw materials are the correct ways for the colonial economy.

Krauss thought for a while and said: "After the immigration work is completed, another five years will be able to initially achieve a balance of payments.

If you want to recover the capital cost of the investment, this time will be a little longer, it may take 20 years, or even longer."

This is a big problem faced by 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 severe.

The immigrants from the Central American colonies from the mainland are only a few, most of them are immigrants absorbed from the United States.

Many people within the government are attacking the Central American strategy, demanding that the power invested in the Central American region be withdrawn to the African continent.

However, under the strong demands of Franz, he was suppressed.But the voice of attacking the Central American colonial government has never stopped. Hummel urgently needs to make achievements to prove to everyone the correctness of opening up the Central American colony.

It is very difficult to achieve this. First of all, the strategic value will not be reflected in a short period of time, otherwise there will not be so many people who have opinions.

The economic value is very regrettable that it is still a net loss.Even if the hidden gains were calculated, the colonial government was still at a loss.

Even domestic industrial raw materials cannot be provided. There is no shortage of industrial raw materials produced in these regions in Austria.
