Chapter 1835 The Great Wall Plan
In fact, Marin is now very scratching his head about how to recruit immigrants to the Americas. Because the negative propaganda was too strong in the past, people are now afraid to talk about America and dare not go there. In other words, prisoners of war bought from Württemberg and Breschgao areas have no choice and are sent to America. If people are given the opportunity to choose, most people will refuse.
Marin was also helpless. At that time, in order to prevent Spain, Portugal and France from snatching America, they had to demonize the Americas to scare away the Three Kingdoms. Now, the purpose of scaring away the three countries has been achieved, but ordinary people dare not go to America...
So, these days, Marin is waiting for the result in Paris, while thinking about how to dispel people's terror of America, but does not attract the covetousness of these three countries...
First of all, Marin cannot admit that America is not dangerous. Otherwise, Spain, Portugal and France will definitely go crazy for the vast land of America. Especially France, a large agricultural power with a large population, will easily become competing once it sees the vast world of America. After all, there are many French people and the ability to develop colonies is the strongest. If it weren’t for its monarchs of all generations who were obsessed with continental hegemony, France would be the most suitable country to develop America. In addition, France offended England and Spain, and was jointly suppressed by the two countries, and the navigation could not grow.
However, as of now, the navies of various countries are not very strong. Even the strongest Spain does not have the ability to block the entire French coast at present, and at most the Mediterranean coast in southern France. England only has the ability to block the English Channel. The two countries do not have the ability to block the Atlantic coast in western France. Therefore, Marin must not overstimulate France at this time, so as not to destroy the French navy.
But at the same time, Marin must also give some reassurance to those immigrants to avoid panic. Otherwise, immigrants will not be recruited.
For example, according to the plan, Marin sent people outside Paris to take the initiative to recruit those victims. But the problem is that if they recruit those victims, they will not be willing to leave if they cannot dispel their doubts about the "danger" of the Americas.
Therefore, when waiting for the French to come to negotiate, Marin must also be prepared. The main purpose is to dispel the doubts of immigrants and eliminate everyone's fear. In this way, people can be recruited when they go to Paris to attract the people. Otherwise, if no one is willing to go, it would be better to force them.
It is really a big problem to not only dispel the doubts of immigration, but also prevent the interest of the Western, French and Portuguese countries!
In particular, this time, when recruiting victims, it is outside Paris, it will inevitably be closely monitored by France. Therefore, it is completely unworkable to secretly tell the victims that the Americas are not dangerous.
"What should I do? How can I obtain the law of both worlds, which can both be intimidated by the Three Kingdoms and disasters to the people?" Malin was depressed.
At this time, the Jewish Rabbi, the Deputy Minister of Finance, came to report on the fiscal expenditure. In the report, the Rabbi focused on the issue of the border defense line being built and expressed concerns about fiscal expenditure. After all, the construction of a wall on the huge border is huge. In other countries, the North Sea country's fiscal revenue is very high. If it were other countries, even a big country like France would not be able to afford it...
When Malin, who was listening to the report, heard this, he opened his eyes suddenly and asked:
"What did you say just now? Repeat the words just now!"
The rabbi was frightened and thought he had said something he shouldn't have said, and said in a smacking manner:
"I just said...there is too much money to build a border wall, even a big country like France can't afford it..." After saying that, the rabbi looked at Marin with fear, fearing that Marin would have an attack.
"That's it!" Marin slapped the table and showed an excited expression.
Seeing Marin's expression seemed to be happy, the rabbi breathed a sigh of relief...
Marin did not discuss with him, but called Kohler and Sauer to discuss the matter.
"What do you mean is to dispel the worries of those immigrants in the name of 'building the Great Wall'?"
"That's right!" Marin nodded confidently and continued:
"You also know that in the ancient Roman era, the Roman Empire used the construction of the Great Wall of Hadrian to block the Celtic barbarians from the north to ensure the safety of England. This story has been widely circulated in Europe. We can also use this interface to promote the saying that we found a peninsula as big as England in the Americas... Well, it is the Delaware Peninsula..."
"That peninsula is not as big as England? It seems to be smaller than the Jutland Peninsula?" Kohler is aware of the situation in the Americas. The Delaware Peninsula is currently under development, and the relevant data, as the intelligence leader, is naturally clear.
In fact, the Delaware Peninsula is only 14,000 square kilometers, much smaller than the Jutland Peninsula.
Marin nodded and said:
"Of course I know that the Delaware Peninsula is not as big as England, but I just use this as an introduction to attract French disaster victims to immigrate to America."
"At that time, I will publicize that I will build a Great Wall like Hadrian's Great Wall in the northern part of the Delaware Peninsula surrounded by sea on three sides, which can isolate the connection with the wild continent and block the invasion of the barbarians. At that time, I only need to build the Great Wall and cut down all the trees on the peninsula, and farm and grazing normally..."
"As for the cost of building the Great Wall, the French are very clear. Even if it is a small Great Wall that is dozens of kilometers away from the French mainland, the French probably will have to invest hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Hearing that we use the means of building the Great Wall to stop the barbarians, the French will find it difficult to covet them."
After a pause, Marin continued:
"As for Spain and Portugal, it seems that they don't pay enough attention to agriculture, and they seem to care more about gold and silver mines..."
Marin didn't talk nonsense about this. Throughout history, the Spanish colonial empire and the Portuguese colonial empire seemed to be constantly looking for gold and silver mines in the Americas and Africa, or exchanging gold and sand with the indigenous people, but they did not pay attention to farming. The only farming behavior is probably to plant sugarcane in tropical areas. After all, sugar is very popular in the European market.
Therefore, using the reason to build the Great Wall to block the barbarians can not only make French disaster victims feel safe, but also make French agricultural empires not covetous. - shark, spend so much money? Let's forget it...
Spain and Portugal, two countries that are keen on finding treasures, would probably be surprised - Damn, spending so much money to build the wall just to farm? The big boss of Beihai, Marin, was kicked by a donkey?
Of course, Marin had an excuse to explain - I have become the king of America, so I must have a larger and more reliable territory in America! Otherwise, it will not be worthy of my name...
Look, the Delaware Peninsula is only one point north of the north and is connected to the land. As long as the Great Wall is built, you can resist the invasion of the forest barbarians. At that time, cleaning up the barbarians on the peninsula will be a very suitable land for development...
"Perfect!" Marin snapped his fingers and ordered:
"You two, arrange for your subordinates to promote this 'Great Wall Plan'. Start from the country of North Sea, and then send someone to Paris to promote..."
