Rebirth of South America as King

ps: Thank you to Tu Haitao for 500 yuan, and the reincarnation of the third child to 100 yuan for rewarding support!

In the Potsdam Palace, Berlin, Germany, a priest in his fifties is shaking his heart to introduce his ideas to the emperor. "Since the founding of the German Empire, the number of people has increased much faster than the growth rate of food production. According to the current rate, it is estimated that within ten years, local food production will be difficult to meet the needs of domestic people.

Insufficient grain output will cause prices to rise, increase the cost of living of residents, and are not conducive to social stability.

At the same time, the lack of self-sufficiency in food production and rising living costs will also lead to a large number of citizens dissatisfied with domestic living conditions and choose to emigrate abroad. Large-scale national loss is not only a waste of human resources, but also weakens the overall strength of the empire.

Secondly, the British and French governments are planning to promulgate trade protection policies and increase taxes on the industrial and commercial products of the empire. Once the British and French countries formally implement trade protection policies against the empire, the industrial and commercial systems that have just begun to flourish in the empire may produce overproduction and national economies Risk of stagnation.

"

The tall German priest was excited, and it would be difficult to associate him with the devout believer without wearing a black priest's robe.

"Many problems encountered in the development of the German Empire need to be solved by acquiring overseas colonies."

"Sir, Earl Spencer,"

The German priest reminded William I and Pismeyer and took out a thick stack of data saying "The end of the Franco-Prussian War, and the imperial government, for the purpose of curbing France's restoration of power, proposed a high compensation of 5 billion francs to the French. And signed a contract to station troops in France, but beyond the expectations of the imperial government, the French paid off 5 billion francs in just three years, forcing the imperial team to withdraw from France in advance, which led to curbing French development. The plan failed.

"

"Sorry for interrupting your speech, Father Fabry,"

The German diplomat who met with Hu Yaji last time stood up and said, "I don't understand how France's payment of 5 billion reparations has anything to do with the expansion of the Empire ’s overseas colonies."

"I will explain it to you, Baron Edwin."

The German priest was interrupted by others with a displeased expression on his face, and then quickly returned to normal, explaining that "French merchants are known to make high profits on usury in Europe, but in Asia and Africa On the mainland, French colonists and smugglers were able to obtain several times more profit from usury than the local usury with hundreds of muskets.

Ladies and gentlemen, the business associations of the Churches of Hamburg and Bremen have business groups in Asia and Africa. There, the businessmen of the business groups have witnessed the great benefits obtained by the French, and the price they paid for this is only a few Ten soldiers died of illness and some cheap guns and ammunition.

The French businessmen used the huge wealth plundered from the colonies to pay off the compensation. When the French recovered their strength, they would choose to join other countries to fight against the empire. In this way, the situation of the empire would be very dangerous. "

The priest of Germany expressed anxiety over the future situation in Germany, and then turned the word and said, "If the empire has a vast colony in Africa, then African fertile land can provide ample food for the country and reduce the cost of living for the residents.

Secondly. Too many people migrate to overseas colonies, on the one hand, it can alleviate domestic social conflicts; on the other hand, Africa's fertile land and rich resources will allow immigrants to lead a wealthy life, increase their loyalty to the empire, and strengthen the colony ’s Control strength.

Finally, the vast African colonies can provide cheap raw materials for the empire, reduce the cost of industrial production, and provide a consumer market for domestic industrial and commercial enterprises, which is conducive to the development of industry and commerce. "

The German priest expounded the benefits of expanding colonies on Germany from economic, political, and social perspectives, and then stated "

Cameroon's aluminum ore has huge economic benefits. It is very cost-effective to use several small islands and commercial bases with limited economic value in exchange for the aluminum ore held by the Han country. Therefore,

The Hamburg Bremen Church and its business group agreed to exchange agreements with the Han colonies, and in order to protect the interests of German citizens in Africa, the Hamburg Bremen Church urged His Majesty to include West and South Africa and Tanzania into the Empire ’s colony. To rule, the church will mobilize members of the local chamber of commerce to cooperate with the emperor's actions. "

"Fr. Fabre once led missionaries to Southwest Africa to preach. Should we know the natural environment in Africa?"

After patiently listening to the other party ’s explanation, Prime Minister Spencer retorted, “The Cameroon Aluminium Mine is the most abundant mine found today. In order to protect the economic interests of the empire, I agreed to include Cameroon into the empire ’s colonial rule, but except Cameroon , I do not agree with the expansion of colonial power elsewhere in Africa. "

"Is the Count yet to discover the economic value of the colony?"

Asked Father Fabri.

"I am opposed to the blind expansion of colonies in Africa. The decision was made after careful consideration."

Pismec did not hesitate to take the other side's opinions seriously, "The majority of the colonies with great economic value in overseas regions have fallen into the hands of Britain and France. In addition to Cameroon, which has newly discovered giant aluminum mines in Africa, other regions have limited economic value. , It is not worth the empire to send a lot of human and material resources to build,

Secondly, African indigenous people are backward and uncivilized, and often prone to rebellion against colonial rule. If the empire wants to maintain local colonial rule, it will cost a lot of money and troops to suppress it.

In addition, African diseases are rampant, white immigrants cannot survive on a large scale, and they cannot deploy enough officials to manage colonial affairs.

So Father Fabry, what you think is that the massive expansion of overseas colonies does not actually have obvious benefits to the empire. Instead, the empire needs to spend a lot of money to maintain the order of the colonies.

I will not agree with your suggestion. "

"Count, things are not as bad as you think.

The Han Dynasty has improved the technology of quinine production. The Imperial Government can negotiate with the Han Government to purchase quinine for the living needs of immigrants in Africa at a low price, and if you really believe that the colonial colony directly under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Government is not worth the damage, Hamburg The Bremen churches and business groups are willing to follow the British East India Company model to manage colonial affairs on behalf of the government. "

Although Fabry is engaged in colonial activities as a priest, the main members of the chamber of commerce are German small and medium-sized businessmen, small citizens, landless peasants and other lower classes in the society. They are subject to the Junker landlord class represented by Spiezmaier in Germany. Oppression, desperately hopes to obtain overseas colonies like the British and French powers, and then in the colonies to make themselves a better life by exploiting the local indigenous people, to get rid of their status as the bottom of society.

The ruling class and the governed class have a natural contradiction. Even though the Junker landlord classes such as Spismarck played a huge role in the Franco-Prussian war, in order to safeguard the interests of the landlord class itself and to worry about the expansion of overseas colonies, the conflict between Britain and France, Smak has always opposed the expansion of overseas colonies.

Even if the discovery of the Cameroon aluminum mine proves that the overseas colonies have huge economic benefits, Splenic does not agree to completely open its mouth to expand overseas colonies.

William I usually seldom opposed the opinion of Pismey, but this time he intended to correct Pismey's ideas.

"Small and medium-sized countries such as the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain have overseas colonies, and King Leopold II of Belgium sought the support of the empire last year to seek overseas colonies.

Many small European countries have large colonies. As a European power, the German Empire needs to have a colony size that matches the status of a large country.

His Excellency the Prime Minister, the Cameroon Aluminium Mine has great interests in the development of domestic industry and commerce. Southwest Africa and Tanzania, where the imperial merchants are involved, have vast areas, and it is likely that there are rich resources similar to the Cameroon Aluminium Mine.

The Empire ’s foreign policy should make some changes. I hope you can support the Empire ’s expansion of overseas colonies ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I respect Your Majesty ’s opinions very much, but I still insist on my opinion that the Empire should not invest a lot of money in A colony of limited interest. "

"The Prime Minister's idea is very stable." William I nodded in agreement, and then said, "Fr. Fabre, in a few days the imperial government will claim sovereignty over Cameroon, southwest Africa, and Tanzania. Except for Cameroon, which is directly managed by the imperial government, The administrative powers of Southwest Africa and Tanzania are left to your chamber of commerce. The imperial government will not provide financial subsidies to the colonies of the two places without a clear return. Would you like to accept the heavy responsibility entrusted to you by the imperial government? "

"Thank you for your trust, will the Hamburg and Bremen Chambers of Commerce disappoint you?"

Fabry took a salute.
