Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 2416 of the Caribbean Sea ([-])

"Principal Gao, this is the latest..." A young man wearing glasses pushed open the door of the principal's office, holding a document in his hand, but after seeing other people in the room, he immediately acted wisely Shut up.

Gao Yi glanced at his subordinates with some annoyance, then turned his head to the director of the Academic Affairs Office who was sitting next to him and said, "Mr. Bai, let's settle this. Regarding the expansion of the school, we still have to hold another fundraiser. "

The slender teacher Bai nodded, with an unnatural blush on his face, and he left Gao Yi's office without looking at the young man who came in.

"Ahem. Xiao Zhang, how many times have I told you that you have to knock on the door first when you come in." Gao Yi subconsciously pulled the chair, moved a little closer to the desk, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?" ? Panic!"

"Station Master." After no one else was present, Xiao Zhang changed his title and said, "The Spaniards have replaced the administrative officials in Florida, and the new General Lucas has already moved into the official residence. General Si, was dismissed last year because of his ineffective suppression of bandits."

"He can still come back after being dismissed. His background is very tough." Gao Yi said, "What's his attitude towards us? Is he hostile?"

"It's not clear. But according to insiders in the general's mansion, the general began to study the tax rate within two days after taking office. Maybe he has some special preferences in money." Xiao Zhang replied.

"It sounds like a dejected loser who lost all confidence after suffering a serious setback in his career and started to seek money." Gao Yi said to himself, then he shook his head and said, "But it doesn't What to prove. Continue to observe, if he only wants to make money, then it is not a bad thing, on the contrary, there is a possibility of cooperation between us and him. If he wants to do other things, then he cannot stay."

"Do you need to do it?" Xiao Zhang asked hesitantly, obviously not agreeing.

"What are you thinking!" Gao Yi glanced at him and said angrily: "What can he and a few followers do in Florida? They may not even be able to control a block of St. Augustine. The soldiers of the Colonial Legion have degenerated into Even the tax collectors are gone, and the low-level officials only want to make money, and then return to the peninsula to live a good life. This situation is no longer something that one or two people can change. Everything is doomed! When the sound of the uprising is heard, St. Augustine will Raise the palm tree flag, and Florida will usher in a new life."

Xiao Zhang nodded when he heard the words.Indeed, Colonial Florida rotted from top to bottom.The low-level officials and soldiers may not be aware of the plans of the local nobles. Those fools are completely filled with cotton, openly discussing various rebellious actions, with a very poor sense of secrecy, and the scope of insiders has been expanded. There are some horrible messages being spread.Under such circumstances, those colonial officials from the peninsula had to pretend that they didn't know anything. One can imagine how hard it was to act.Many times, Xiao Zhang sympathized with them, thinking that if these people were really cooperative, once the uprising officially broke out, they could be considered to leave with their families and property, if they were willing to leave.

But then again, it's good for these native white nobles to be a little stupid, at least it will be easier for the East Coast to control the newly established Florida Republic in the future.The stupid upper-level rulers, coupled with the capable mid-level and lower-level officials trained by the East Bank School, can almost maintain the country.Florida is rich in resources, and has great potential in the production of timber, cotton, leather, salt, coconut, grain, and seafood. They are destined to become the cows of the Eastern China Republic, and they will never be able to escape.

In fact, people on the east coast have always held a very positive attitude towards training foreign government officials.The local Dayuhe Executive Training School is the largest training base, not to mention the Yantai College in the Far East, the number of people trained is even several times that of Dayuhe School.Numerous mid-level and lower-level officials from Shun and Ming countries graduated from this school, and then used the knowledge they learned to serve the local and even overseas colonies.

Especially Mindanao and Taiwan Island, because of the close cooperation with the east coast, need a large number of new officials, which provides the best stage for Yantai College graduates.Sometimes Zheng Kezang, Li Yuanyin and others wonder how many of those new officials in Taiwan and Mindanao are undercover agents on the east coast?Even if they are not undercover, after they have seen too many new things, do they also tend to the East Coast emotionally?If the people on the east coast asked them to be independent, would they obey directly?

This question is really difficult to answer, and no one dares to hypothesize.Li Yuanyin's army was trained by people from the East Bank. Zheng Kezang's army and navy were full of officials trained by the East Bank. Having practiced in the fleet for a while, it's scary to think about it.Considering that the East Coast Navy holds absolute command of the sea in China's coastal waters, once a blockade is strictly enforced to cut off the traffic between the mainland and Southeast Asia, then things may develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Zheng Kezang, Li Yuanyin, Li Yuanhao and others were average in strength and did not dare to openly oppose the infiltration of the people from the east coast. The strength of New Courland and Florida was weaker, so naturally they did not dare to oppose it.Therefore, Gao Yi is still very confident in controlling the overall situation - with one order, he may mobilize more soldiers than General Lucas, so is there any problem?

The annual intelligence expenditure of nearly one million won is not in vain!

"What else is there?" Gao Yi put the report in a small drawer next to it and locked it, then asked.

"The stationmaster Zhang of the British Carolina colony was arrested. It is said that he accidentally leaked the secret to his mistress and was reported. The superior asked us to find a way to cooperate with the special commissioner in the rescue." After a pause, Xiao Zhang continued.

Stationmaster Zhang is the stationmaster of an intelligence station set up by people from the East Coast in Carolina, using his identity as a businessman as a cover.He was of European descent, and he also took the British name Gordon.He has been doing excellent work for many years, but he didn't expect that the ship capsized this time, and St. Augustine had to pay for it and send people to rescue him.

"You can figure it out. When you pay the money, go to the financial department to complete the formalities. There is no other way, and we are short of manpower, and we are not very familiar with Carolina. And recently we have assigned How can I have so much energy to cooperate with the navy's sabotage mission in Havana, let the special commissioner figure out a way for himself." Gao Yi waved his hand and said.

It is said that the largest Spanish shipyard in the New World is located in Havana.This captain has built many large-tonnage warships for Spain in history, such as the famous "Holy Trinity".If this shipyard can be destroyed, to be honest, it can severely damage the Spanish shipbuilding capabilities during the war and the repair capabilities of damaged ships, which is very important to the Navy.

And an informant newly developed by the St. Augustine intelligence station happened to have something to do with the Havana shipyard, so the navy came to the door and asked for assistance.Gao Yi has no way to shirk this matter, so he can only assist with all his strength. For this reason, he hasn't done much trouble in St. Augustine recently.As a result, I heard that there is still a special commissioner coming, and they are also asked to help rescue the Zhang stationmaster next door. One can imagine how big he is.

"Is there anything else? Say it in one breath." Gao Yi glanced at Xiao Zhang angrily, and said.

"Yes." Xiao Zhang felt that the station master Gao seemed to be very unfriendly to him today, but he had the responsibility, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "The National Development Bureau wants to get a group of Indians and mestizos over, let us Coordinating in the middle, persuading the local native nobles not to set up obstacles."

"This matter..." Gao Yi pondered for a while, and then said: "I will handle this matter myself. There are some people in St. Augustine who have shallow eyes, so I have to tell them."

It is said that how to deal with the Indians and Mestizos in the east coast has become a big problem.If Spanish America is captured in the future, there will still be millions of people. It will be a big headache. It will be difficult to kill or raise.

The previously planned places for these people were mainly the yellow-black dividing line in South Africa.But now it seems that the receiving capacity over there is limited, and it will not be able to accommodate too many people for a while.Our own overseas colonies, such as Australia and Rabaul, cannot receive so much.The Ministry of Immigration and the State Development Bureau in charge of this matter were really worried, and they did everything possible to find local Cypriots.The Great Soviet Union and the Free State were all targeted by them, and Florida naturally couldn't escape.

However, the native white aristocrats in the area have different opinions on the immigrant population.There may have been some resistance in the past, but after being persuaded by the people on the east coast, some people changed their stance, thinking that it would not be a bad thing if more people came to help them cut trees, fish, and farm.In particular, these people speak the same language as them and have similar cultural backgrounds, so it will not be too difficult to manage.But there are still many diehards who are unwilling to see the influx of a large number of immigrants, which requires Gao Yi and others to do a good job.

Cleaning up people with aboriginal blood is a century-old project, and the top officials of the East Coast government are very determined to this end.The millions of people are not wealth in their eyes, but the source of trouble, which must be eliminated.Although this may lead to a sharp increase in the cost of domination in the future, it will all be worth it.Some things, what can be done now, should not be left to future generations.Besides, after arriving, some things cannot be done.Now it is millions of people, and it may be tens of millions in the future.Once they awaken their consciousness, it will be a big trouble.

"How much will it cost to clean up millions of people with aboriginal blood?" Thinking of this, Gao Yi shuddered.For this war, the State Administration of Precious Metals printed at least [-] million more French currency notes, and may have to print more in order to clean up these people in the future.I'm afraid this gold production will never be able to keep up, right?
