Chapter 102: Deception, then deception
"Sir, if East Africa is really what you said, then it's not bad, but there are people in the next village who went to the United States, so it should be fine there too! I heard that the United States has developed well in the past two years!"
I also know America! Eric Knight was a little surprised. It seemed that these villagers could still get some news.
"Where's the United States? If it was a good place before, it's not as good as the East African colonies now. Do you know that the United States just ended the war not long ago?" Eric Knight asked rhetorically.
"I heard in the past few years that the United States was fighting fiercely, but wasn't Germany also at war? There was a fight between Prussia and Austria a while ago. At that time, everyone in the Kingdom (Württemberg) was panicked." A villager said said.
"Of course this is different. The war in Germany is to unify our nation so that we will not be bullied by outsiders in the future. However, you may not know the inside story of the war in the United States. Let me tell you!"
Eric Knight mysteriously analyzed the "insider" information he knew with the villagers: "This America! In the past, it was just like the East African colonies. There were not many people and the land was wasted. Of course, there were Indians in America, who were colonized by the British. People were killed. We all know that the British are rich, so they are lazy! They can't work by themselves. As a result, the Indians were wiped out too quickly, and there was no one to work for them, so they recruited people from Africa and Europe to work for them. They farmed and dug coal.”
Eric Knight returned to his seat, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then said: "This African, his face is black, standing in the dark, you can't see anyone at all. "
"Sir, is this Africa related to the East Africa you mentioned?" a villager asked curiously.
"Of course, I think you have all heard of the slave trade. The British brought black people from Africa to the United States to farm, so the land in Africa was left empty, and the land was abandoned. This is how we have Germany. People to develop the East African colonies." Eric Knight said serious nonsense.
"Bah, this Englishman is really no good, but I heard that this black man is not a good thing either. He looks like a monkey and is very stupid." A villager said.
"Almost, almost." Eric Knight said cheerfully.
"As for the British, they are divided into two waves. One wave is from the south, who use black slaves to farm the land, and the other wave is from the north, who farm the land and also open factories. These British factories are not a good thing, and everyone is worried about it. It's dark! Working day and night every day, the worker's life will be short. These workers are all recruited from us, Italy and Ireland. Anyway, the British don't feel bad about them, so that person can still survive!" Rick Knight warned.
"Everyone in this factory is gone. What should I do if there is a shortage of people? This factory can't stop. Otherwise, why would the British be so rich? Is this the reason why the northerners are targeting the black slaves in the southern plantations? We want these black slaves to work in factories in the north, but the British are stingy! They don’t want to pay the British in the south, so they just want to use people in vain. If you want to do this, will you agree?"
The villagers were listening to Eric Knight's nonsense as if they were listening to a story. Someone said, "If you ask me, I definitely won't agree."
"That's right! If you don't pay, you still want to prostitute workers for free. The southerners will definitely not agree, so America is starting to fight."
"It's also the southerners who are unlucky. They haven't conquered the North, so these black people have entered the factories run by northerners. It's fatal. Even though there are many black people, they can't withstand such use! That's why we need to continue to recruit people from us." , I ask you, do you still want to go?" Eric Knight said.
"Then you definitely can't go!"
"It's just that I didn't expect Americans to be so dark-hearted. They are indeed descendants of the British."
The villagers were talking a lot.
…
"Okay, Shen Jing, if you want to go to East Africa to develop, you can start signing up now!"
Eric Knight stopped the talking villagers.
"Sir, don't these East African colonies also want to open factories and imitate Americans?" asked a villager.
"Don't worry, everyone. The East African colonies are formal German colonies. They belong to us Germans. We are all compatriots. How can we imitate the British and abuse us Germans."
Eric Knight said, and at the same time he began to use his final trump card: "Everyone, maybe my words are not convincing. Next, I will ask the village chief to verify it."
The village chiefs had been sitting aside without talking, and now they said: "Don't worry, everyone, this East African colony is our German territory. It will be no different from being in Germany when you go there. Do you know who the big shot is in this East African colony?" territory?"
The villagers shook their heads.
"You should know the name of Prussia, right?"
"Village chief, I know. People now say that Prussia is the leader of Germany, and Austria has never fought against it."
"That's the reason. This East African colony is the territory of the Prussian Prince of Hechingen. It is all populated by our Germans. The Prince of Hechingen is a top nobleman and his reputation is very reliable. That is to say, he has our German place in mind. It was too small, there were too many people, and the land was not enough, so we went overseas to open up East African colonies to let us Germans live a good life, so if you don’t have land to farm, sign up quickly and don’t miss the opportunity.” said the village chief.
"Village chief, is the news reliable?" a villager asked.
"Why did I lie to you? This news was told to me personally by Knight Von Clay in the town. He said it was confirmed by our Kingdom of Württemberg, and the news is absolutely reliable and true."
"That is to say, His Royal Highness the Prince of Hechingen, who is kind-hearted and takes care of us Germans. The Prince of Hechingen is a big noble in Prussia who can talk to the king. His territory is next to Württemberg, and he can be considered a local of us. , so I think of you when good things happen." said the village chief.
"Don't think about going to the city to find a job. Do you know any trade or have you gone to school? There is no place for you in the city. As for the United States, if you have the connections, it doesn't matter if you go. If you don't have the connections, don't waste your energy. Well, then the British can give you free benefits? If there are any benefits, you should have already killed your own people, and it won’t be your turn.”
"It's going to be different when you go to the East African colonies. You'll still be doing your old job. Farmers are doing the work of crops, and no one can deceive you. Our ancestors have been doing this for generations, and no one can deceive you. Okay, I'll tell you. There are so many of them, they are all just living together, and they must go to our own place in Germany. The only difference is that one is in Europe and the other is overseas. The overseas is still the land of our Germans, which means they have not left Germany. If you have any ideas, hurry up Sign up, don’t waste time,” the village chief said.
…
After deliberation for a day and night, most landless farmers chose to sign up. Most of them were young people with small families and no land to choose from, so they chose to go out to sea to make a living.
Those who originally had the idea of going to the United States gave up their plans to go to the United States due to rumors from the staff of the Hechingen Foundation, and instead chose to go to East Africa. After all, East Africa has official certification.
The same scene appears in Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria... and even in northern Austria, which borders Austria.
The first mass migration of Germans into East Africa began.
