Wild North America 1846

Chapter 433 Immigration and North American Population Composition

The schedule for the visit to the Kingdom of Prussia was quite tight, and a few days passed in a flash. After signing more than 10 bilateral treaties to deepen cooperation, the visit came to an end.

these days
The Emmeline Palace on Kurfürstendamm Street is full of princes and nobles. Several kings and queens of the German state who live in Berlin frequently come and go. Apart from marveling at the luxurious royal banquet at Emmeline Palace, they do not use cars that can drive their own horses The most amazing thing is the dozen or so beasts of His Majesty Li Cha, Emperor of the Tang Empire.

In the hands of His Majesty the emperor, these huge beasts were as docile as kittens, which attracted countless envy and amazement.

Unfortunately
A ferocious beast is a ferocious beast after all, and it is impossible to allow strangers to get close, even if it is a king with such a noble status.

"Dear Li Cha, I am really envious of these majestic pet beasts around you. If possible, can you give me a pair of cubs after giving birth? I really like it." King William couldn't bear it. Keep your mouth shut.

The three colorful giant tigers, Baipi, Hongzhong, and Facai, have a body length of more than 4 meters. When they stand up on their hind legs, they are amazingly tall and extremely oppressive. The water is slippery, and there is some obesity.

In William's eyes, it was almost impossible to pull it out.

Even though he liked it so much, King William also knew that these grown beasts could not be raised by anyone other than their owners.

If you want your own beast, you can only cultivate feelings from the cubs.

Facing King William's eager eyes, Richard nodded and agreed; "The Kingdom of Prussia is a good brother of the Tang Empire in Europe, and the depth and breadth of close cooperation between the two parties far exceeds that of other European countries. One of the two cornerstones of the relationship with Europe. William and I hit it off right away, and we talked very happily, and good things should naturally be shared, and I agreed."

"Hahaha...that's great, let's have another drink." King William didn't like to drink French wine, but preferred to gulp down beer.

He boldly picked up the glass, and hit the wooden beer mug in Li Cha's hand hard, causing a glass full of beer to splash, and then he picked up the beer mug and drank it down in one gulp.

King William had the title of "Prince Shotgun" before ascending to the throne. He joined the army at the age of 10 and received the education of the Junker military aristocratic tradition.

In 1814, he participated in the anti-French coalition war with a higher rank and was immersed in the army all his life. Even though his beard and hair were all white, he couldn't hide the old-fashioned Junker military style that penetrated into his bones.

The character is tough and indomitable, as tough as old cowhide.

He sincerely thanked the Tang Empire for sharing its combat experience with the Prussian army selflessly. As a "Prince Shotgun" from a grass-roots officer to the commander-in-chief of the Prussian Kingdom Guards, King William knew that these were caused by countless people. How precious is the war experience exchanged for life and blood?
Asking for a pair of cubs is a way of showing closeness.

Your majesty the King of Prussia, where can I get a pair of cubs?

Li Cha also poured down the beer boldly. He liked King William's straightforward and non-hypocritical way. When dealing with the Prussians, he just expressed his demands directly, and don't be obsequious.

The Prussians are not good at this and are easily stunned.

After visiting Europe, Li Cha felt that it was easier to deal with the French and Germans. The French have the characteristics of southern Europeans. They are enthusiastic and direct, and their likes and dislikes will be shown on their faces without hiding it at all.

The Germans are straightforward and rigid, and they never turn back or turn corners when they decide things like bulls.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the British. The British have too many fancy intestines, just like holes in cheese. It is difficult to count how many there are?

Richard and King William chatted very speculatively. In the more than 10 cooperation treaties signed by the two sides to close bilateral relations, the "immigration through train" policy was especially arranged for German white immigrants, from bank loans to real estate. A series of needs, All are properly arranged.

Due to today's backward agricultural production capacity, today's German region (including the Kingdom of Prussia) cannot accommodate a growing population.

The German-born white farmers and craftsmen at the bottom, down-and-out aristocrats or artists, have a common impulse to immigrate, with the purpose of pursuing a better and stable life.

Migration to the North American continent or South America is an unstoppable trend of white Germans at the bottom of society.

As high-quality immigrants, German white immigrants are the most diligent farmers, the most down-to-earth workers, the best source of soldiers, and one of the best builders. They are worthy of vigorous introduction and integration into the society of the empire.

in the original history
Germans, Irish and Italians are the main immigrants to North America and South America, accounting for more than 8% of all white immigrants, and German whites are especially fond of North America.

Because the climate here is warmer than in Europe, the sun is more abundant, the land is vast and fertile, and the four seasons are distinct but not too hot and humid, which is very suitable for the living habits of German immigrants.

The central provinces of the Great Lakes region, which belonged to the Tang Empire, are the key gathering areas of the traditional white German immigrants. The German people in this area accounted for more than half of the total population (before the North American War), and they are still one of the main ethnic groups in the central region.

With the total population of the Tang Empire now exceeding 4000 million, the population of Chinese descent accounts for 83.6% (this is a dynamic figure, whenever a large area is newly annexed, the proportion of the population of Chinese descent will decline and then rise slowly) above , Already have a strong ability to accept and integrate.

Importing a certain number of white immigrants every year is conducive to strengthening the integration of Chinese and Western nationalities, enhancing the vitality of the country's economy, and nurturing a more splendid new culture of the Tang Dynasty.

The general trend of European immigration to North America is unstoppable. After a sharp drop during the North American War, it quickly rebounded after the war, increasing from a minimum of 27 people per year to an average of 85 to 90 people per year today, basically returning to normal levels.

This wave of immigration will continue until the 20s, and it will take almost 60 years. A total of more than 4500 million white immigrants will be sent to North America, and the number of immigrants will exceed 160 million in the most years.

It is precisely because a large number of white European immigrants arrived in North America by boat that the United States of America and the Confederate States of America quickly recovered from the devastation of the war and supplemented the much-needed labor force.

According to the census at the end of 1863;

The population of the United States of America went from the lowest point of 776 million during the North American War to the total population of 1863 million by the end of [-]. Industrial production and trade recovered rapidly.

some of

More than a million Americans who could not bear the severe cold weather in the British Canadian colonies returned after the war, which was the most important factor in the population recovery of the United States of America (Northern).

Secondly, Chinese immigrants have poured into the East Coast looking for business and property opportunities, coupled with the return of European immigration to normal times, these are the other two factors for the United States of America's "total population to break through the [-] million mark".

In the demographic structure of the United States of America (Northern), whites account for 73.2%, Chinese Americans account for 15.4%, blacks account for 7.3% (note; at the peak it reached 22.2%), Mexicans account for 3.1%, and Indians account for 0.9%.

The total population of the Confederate States of America also quickly recovered to 815 million people. In the population composition, whites accounted for 36.72%, Chinese accounted for 23.1%, blacks accounted for 32.4%, Mexicans and Central Americans accounted for 5.7%, and Indians accounted for 2.1%.

The next stop of Emperor Richard of the Tang Empire's visit was the Kingdom of Italy, a major exporter of white immigrants.

In the 19s, Italy was torn apart. The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Cavour, actively promoted the "top-down" unification policy. After more than ten years of hard work by him, Garibaldi and others, the split Apennine Peninsula was realized step by step. The cities and states are united.

In March 1861, the Kingdom of Sardinia changed its name to the Kingdom of Italy, with Florence as its official capital.

nowadays

The great cause of the unification of the Kingdom of Italy has not been fully completed. The Austrian Empire occupies the Venice area, and Rome under the rule of the French army and its nearby Papal States are divided into one side.

Today's Kingdom of Italy is a typical agricultural society. The industry is dominated by urban handicrafts, mainly tailors, leather craftsmen, blacksmiths, hand-woven textiles, printing and dyeing, glass, porcelain and jewelry craftsmen, etc., and the formal industrialization process has not yet started.

Industrial development is far behind Britain, France, Tang, Pu, Holland and other countries, and even lags behind the industry of Tsarist Russia.

Since the Kingdom of Italy had just been unified and there was no colony overseas, those low-level Italian people and handicraftsmen who had no means of living had a strong tendency to immigrate to North America in search of a better life.

White Italian immigrants will be one of the main ethnic groups immigrating to North America in the next few decades, ranking third after Germans and Irish.

The Austrian Empire and Spain, two important European countries, were not included in the visit list of Emperor Richard of the Tang Dynasty. The former was a consideration that could not have both fish and bear's paws, while the latter had indifferent or even hostile relations with the Tang Empire.

Let’s talk about the Austrian Empire first. As the center of the feudal rule of the Habsburg dynasty, the Austrian Empire has been competing with the Kingdom of Prussia for the position of the leader of the German nation.It has attracted more than a dozen close states to fuel its momentum, and has always claimed to be the leader of the German nation.

Although in the Pudan War, the German Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia jointly sent troops to the Holstein and Schleswig regions, it did not mean that the relationship between the two sides was friendly, but because of the strong voice of the German Confederation Parliament, they had to put on a show.

The Austrian Empire held an indifferent and repulsive stance towards the Tang Empire’s high emphasis on developing bilateral relations with the Kingdom of Prussia, and the acrimonious tone of domestic newspapers and public opinion represented a considerable part of the official stance.

Li Cha doesn't even know how to use a hot face to stick a cold butt, how cheap that is!
Moreover, the Austrian Empire has never been a good ally. During the Crimean War in 1853, Tsar Nicholas I firmly believed that his good friend and brother Emperor Franz Joseph would never allow Britain and France to act recklessly.

In St. Petersburg, Nicholas I addressed the British envoy:
"Don't threaten me with war. Tsarist Russia can rely on Berlin and Vienna." This is a warning that Britain and France may cause another war in Europe.

However, the Holy Alliance has long been at odds with each other. The Kingdom of Prussia has long complained about Tsarist Russia's protection of Austria in the Prussian-Austrian dispute in 1850.

And Austria is even more unpredictable. Nicholas I never thought of Austria's betrayal a few months later.

At the critical moment when Tsarist Russia was besieged by millions of troops from Britain, France, Tang, Austro-Hungary and Sardinia, Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria was busy marrying the beautiful Princess Sissi of Bavaria, and had already forgotten the Three Emperors Alliance. In the back of my mind.

What is such an ally who can only backstab, going to do?
As for Spain, its entanglement with the Tang Empire is too deep, not to mention that California, New Mexico, and Nevada were originally Spanish colonies when the Tang Empire was first established.

Panama, Costa Rica, the eight provinces in northern Mexico, and large territories such as Mexico and the Aztec Republic in the later period, all belonged to the former Spanish colonies.

you're welcome

The Tang Empire now has a vast area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers, of which more than 7% of the territory belongs to the former Spanish colony, and the essence is included in it.

How embarrassing is this situation for the Spaniards?

In the course of the Chinese army's conquest of North America, they burned, killed and looted the local aborigines and whites, and all kinds of cruel suppression methods emerged one after another, which almost wiped out all the traces that Spain had left on this land, except for those historic Spanish-style buildings. It is rare to see the imprints of the former colonists.

Spain had protested countless times, but the Tang Empire ignored them all.

The serious civil wars that are taking place in the three countries of Central America now have the shadowy hands of the Tang Empire behind them. The turmoil in the war has led to the division of traditional culture and history. Countless Hispanic whites have died and their homes have been destroyed. This is a real tragedy.

But Spain is limited by its strength and can't do anything.

All kinds of complicated emotions piled up, causing the relationship between Spain and the Tang Empire to become cold and hostile.

This is also the status quo that can't be helped. Who made the former Spanish colony a soft persimmon?

Richard estimates;

After the Tang Empire officially entered the South American Paraguay War, the bilateral relationship with Spain would be completely broken.

Because the Brazilian Empire is the continuation of the rule of the Spanish royal family in the former colony, but it has only changed the skin of "national independence". In essence, the ruling class has changed the soup but not the medicine.

Based on the strategic interests of the Tang Empire, intervening in the Paraguay War in South America is a certainty. It will not be changed by Spain's indifference, hostility, or compliments from the Brazilian Empire. It must be fought, and it must be fought hard.

The Brazil and Argentina who were beaten were in agony, and let them know who is the boss of the entire America, and the only way forward is to obediently obey.

Otherwise, the Tang Empire doesn't mind starting the second Paraguay War, continue to beat them, and directly dismember them.

With the successful experience of dismembering the United States, the Datang Empire is now full of confidence. As long as it has a firm foothold in South America and has reliable logistics resources, the Datang Empire will be able to launch a campaign with a scale of more than 10 people.

Will it be implemented specifically?
Then it depends on whether Brazil and Argentina know how to behave?Is it eye-catching enough?
