Wei Kun received a lot of the latest internal reports on his way back from Nanzhan City to Port Sudan. Although he was not yet 30 years old, Wei Kun could not help but sigh at the fact that "a county official is not as good as a local official." In the past, when Khartoum was the capital of the East African administrative region, any information had to be sent to Khartoum first.
Now that the capital of the East African administrative region had been changed to Nanzhan City, Khartoum had lost its status as an information transmission center. Even though Nanzhan City was still far from a decent capital, the information had to be sent to Khartoum first according to the regulations. Now that Wei Kun was returning to Port Sudan from a shabby place like Nanzhan City, he also had to take on the responsibility of delivering internal reports.
It was already April, and Wei Kun saw his brother Qi Rui's name on the report again. The young major general had been incorporated into the newly formed motorized infantry regiment and was active on the battlefield in the southern United States. Wei Kun hoped that the war would end. The end of the war would mean a change in the country's financial thinking. The current financial thinking was for the war and for victory. The reason why the country did not feel a heavy burden was because the Min dynasty had a large output of steel and a high level of industry. Central America was also a large plain, a large grain production area.
The country did not want the people to have negative emotions about the war, so they did not forcefully exploit the country. After chatting with Wang Mingshan, the former head of the central bank in Nanzhan City, Wei Kun learned that the central government was not soft on other regions. A large amount of funds were drawn from the South China Sea and East Africa. These places did not have the ability to wrestle with the central government, and the leaders of these regions did not plan to run those regions for a long time. Therefore, the entire rebound was basically controlled at an extremely low level. Even because the people in the country did not feel the pressure, it stimulated their passion, and irresponsible flattery of the war increased.
Wei Kun admired Wang Mingshan more and more. Although Wang Mingshan was not a prominent figure like the Military Commission or the Prime Minister, his ability to understand and look at problems really made people feel that Wang Mingshan was a well-deserved head of the central bank. Therefore, Wei Kun found a problem. At this time, he had to face his niece, Wei Wenrui. Currently, there was a huge problem with the alfalfa export system in East Africa. The company headed by Wei Wenrui first transported the goods and then settled the accounts. After settling the accounts, the central government did not give the officials money directly. Instead, it was the central government that gave the officials money. This meant that East Africa did not have its own financial power at all. All the financial power was controlled by the central government and Wei Wenrui.
The journey from Nanzhan City to Port Sudan was quick, and along the way, there were a lot of navy ships. When Wei Kun saw that the Liberation Army's warships were chasing after some ships with sails, he could not help but ask the signaller what was going on with the pursuing warships. The news that Wei Kun received was, "We're chasing pirates!"
Looking at those gray painted warships with thick black smoke coming out of their chimneys, and then looking at those wooden ships with sails. Wei Kun felt that he really didn't have the ability to understand what was going on. The pirates of the Indian Ocean were so fierce that they dared to challenge the steel behemoths of the Liberation Army with sails and wooden ships.
However, Wei Kun also knew very well that his thoughts were just wishful thinking. The Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean was all managed by the Liberation Army Navy. Even Wang Mingshan did not have the ability to mobilize a single soldier of the Liberation Army Navy, let alone him, who was the governor of three counties in Sudan. There was no power at all in a colony.
Therefore, Wei Kun did not bother himself with these problems. He buried his head in the pile of internal reports. These were several months of internal reports, mainly recording the large-scale operations of the Liberation Army in North America. After entering March, the Liberation Army was divided into three routes. Wei Kun's brother, Qi Rui, was on the route that set off from southern California and marched south. The middle route set off from the northern part of the West Coast and frantically cleaned up the Rocky Mountains. The northern route retreated to the Great Lakes during the winter. Now, they took advantage of the century after the snow melted and began to pounce on the gathering place of the Americans in the Great Lakes area. According to the war report, the troops were marching along the Erie Canal, and it looked like they were going straight to New York after defeating the enemy.
Each army used millions of troops. Wei Kun felt that the United States was really big and would probably not be eaten by 1890. However, by 1890, the resistance of the US federal government would probably be completely destroyed. By 1891, the China Army would probably face a group of orphans and widows on the East Coast. Of course, this was based on the fact that the US federal government could effectively mobilize the US troops. Perhaps after a series of failures, the US federal government would exist in name only. The US states would choose to act on their own and completely ignore the orders of the federal government, which had been repeatedly defeated. Once it became a people's war, the war would be more troublesome than imagined.
In addition to the military content, there was a wave of work in North America. Originally, the domestic surplus population could only go to Nanyang, Guanwai, and North America. East Africa basically had to be an administrative organization to have a chance. Nanyang, Guanwai, and North America, these three places represented "hot, cold, and very cold" in the eyes of the people of the Min dynasty. It wasn't that no one wanted to go, but that no one could stay. Most of the people who went to these areas chose to leave after they made money, especially those from the countryside who moved to these areas. Even if they had several children with their wives in these areas, they would choose to return to their hometown with their wives and children after they had made enough money.
Therefore, one thing was mentioned in the report. Of course, the government encouraged immigration, but this time the government simply did not carry out a large immigration, at least not in the name of immigration. Since most people in various places thought that working far away from the Asian mainland would pay higher wages, the government recruited people with at least elementary school education in the name of employment.
When the government explained the distribution model for the first five years to everyone, a large number of young people with elementary school and junior high school education chose to go to North America. If they had a high school education, it was easy for everyone to find a relatively decent job in the local area. But it was not easy for those elementary school and junior high school graduates to find decent and stable jobs with reliable wages. Compared with the current income, the jobs in the United States that the government was attacking and the North American provinces that the government had occupied were the most difficult to find in the country.
Reading this news, Wei Kun lamented in his heart, "If we get rid of all the people, who will be willing to work in East Africa?"
Lamenting was lamenting. As soon as they returned to Port Sudan, Wei Kun immediately organized a meeting. "I have already reported to Secretary Wang Mingshan. The East African administrative district has decided that in the future, we will export alfalfa in cash. And our East African administrative district will arrange our own exports to Europe. "
As soon as this statement came out, all the people attending the meeting were dumbfounded. Not to mention whether this decision was good or bad for everyone, first of all, no one expected that one day they would be able to control the alfalfa trade in the hands of the East African administrative district. Therefore, the first reaction of many people was not joy, but doubt.
