  Chapter 338 Behind the scene

Italian gangsters pull people at the pier. For ordinary people, if they really become a member of a gangster, they may be a good guy. Although it is a bit dangerous, the treatment of gangster members is not bad. They can also use their status to bully some ordinary people. There is a sense of vanity, but how could the Italian gangsters digest such a large number of Italian immigrants!

  At this time, the Italian gangsters showed what is called professionalism. The United States is currently building new railways and developing the western region. What is lacking is manpower, and what is needed is demand. The Italian gangsters took this opportunity to start participating in various projects.

  It is also easy for Italians to take over the project. If you don’t let us do it, you don’t want to start the work normally. I will send people to make trouble every few days to see who can’t hold on first.

   There is no way, most bosses choose to let things go, but the work can be entrusted to you, but it must be done well, and if you are in a hurry, you can still find someone to clean up.

  It is impossible for Italian gangsters to conjure people out of thin air, so it is extremely important to go to Italy to attract people, which is why Italian gangsters are willing to pay for the immigrants.

  After the end of the Civil War, half of all the steel produced in the United States was used to make rails. The golden age of American railways came, and New York also seized this opportunity and developed rapidly.

New York, which is the new hometown of the United States, was discovered relatively late, so the development started relatively late. In 1524, with the support of the King of France, the Italian Giovanni Deverrazano discovered New York Harbor. Entered the New York port area with the Dauphine, declared it French, and named it New Angoulême. Became the first recorded European to visit New York, so the relationship between Italians and New York has a long history.

  After the independence of the United States, New York developed rapidly. In 1790, New York surpassed Philadelphia to become the largest city in the United States. In 1800, only about 9% of foreign goods in the United States entered the United States through New York Harbor. In 1825, the Erie Canal was opened to navigation, and New York became a commodity distribution center. By 1860, the proportion of foreign goods had jumped to 62%. At the same time, the population of New York has exceeded one million, and New York has become the largest emerging city in the history of the world. Now that New York has caught up with the railway development boom, it is expected to develop further.

  New York Grand Central Railway Station is one of the representative symbols of New York railway development. The New York Grand Central Railway Station was funded and built by the railway giant Vanderbilt.

He inherited his father's inheritance in 1877, and then expanded the New York Central Railroad network on a large scale, buying the Chicago and Northwest Railroad, the Chicago, New York, and St. Louis Railroad, the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis Railroad, and the Grand Central Station was his One of the masterpieces.

  The construction of the Grand Central Station is a microcosm of the expansion of American railways. After completion, it can accommodate 15,000 passengers. After completion, the Grand Central Station in New York is a landmark building in Manhattan and the largest single building in North America.

The Italians have made great contributions to the construction of the Grand Central Station. At present, Italy is the largest source of immigrants to the United States. Although the overall quantity and quality of immigrants in the United States are far inferior to those in the previous life, they are not too inferior. Italians and Slavs have filled the German vacancies left by people.

  The Hechingen Consortium bought the Bulletin Agency's objective description of American Germans in the German region, dispelling most German immigrants from going to the United States, and choosing East Africa.

  Although they also don’t know much about East Africa, they understand the routines of the nobles. The appeal of the great nobles of the Hechingen royal family is there, which is not comparable to the American nouveau riche.

  Of course, the United States, as a hot land, is attractive to many more rebellious Germans. This kind of people, like those who insist on making a fortune in northern Myanmar, scoff at the objective description of the United States by the Hexingen Consortium.

  What "hell on earth"? That’s because I didn’t go, I went to the United States, and I can get rich by relying on the “skills” honed in Germany. I heard that the rich in the United States are all “good people” who spend a lot of money. , and then can you return home?

  You have to ask them, how do you know? He said that the people in my village who used to be in the same village are now getting rich. I didn’t go when they told me, and now my thighs are almost swollen.

This kind of people who don't know good and bad, only believe in their own "reliable gossip", so go there, anyway, no one is stopping, whether they can make a living in the United States is a problem, after all, the seniors have blocked the road to death , and they were clearly not as united as the Italians.

  There are both revolutionaries and gang organizations from Italy to North America, and their organizational skills are much stronger than those of the Germans.

  They set up various engineering companies, and then recruit people as "workers" to provide paid and cheap labor services to American private individuals and companies, that is, outsourcing.

The Grand Central Railway Station under construction in New York this year has used a large number of Italian laborers. The status of Italians in the United States is slightly higher than that of Chinese, Indians, and blacks. Except for the large number of blacks, the number of Italians is the largest, so Italy People with high status are extremely limited. Most Italians can only engage in low-end jobs certified by American society after arriving in the United States, such as chefs, carpenters and construction workers.

  Anyway, there are no human rights, and most of them are used to death. If you want to resist, you must first go through the gang. As partners of capitalists, gang members will help manage their compatriots and prevent them from causing trouble.

Although there is always the risk of sudden death under high-intensity work, it is better than starving to death in Italy. Even if the working conditions in Europe may not be better than those in the United States, the social status may be a little lower, but most Italians are used to it, and in There are no creatures like black people in Europe to set off themselves. As long as someone has a worse life than me, at least there is some comfort in my heart.

Generally speaking, Italian immigrants are satisfied with life in the United States. Italian gangsters are even more satisfied. They can’t make enough money. American companies and capitalists are also satisfied. Italians have low prices and there are gangsters oppressing them, so they won’t cause trouble , The Italians themselves are more industrious than Indians and blacks, and the management costs are lower. Who doesn't like such a labor force.

  And the Italians do not have the backing of a strong motherland, and now Italy has returned to a state of fragmentation. Naturally, it is impossible to get a higher status. That is, it is better than the Chinese, Indians, and blacks because of the glory of the Europeans.

  In fact, the status of immigrants who first came to Italy was relatively high, and they were accepted by American society. At that time, Italian immigrants were mainly small traders, and the number of laborers was less than one-seventh.

But in recent years, especially in the past two years, a large number of Italians have poured in, and most of them are ordinary people without any skills. , resulting in a great decline in social security in the United States, a soaring crime rate, and Italian immigrant communities are slums within slums, all of which have greatly lowered the image and status of Italian immigrant groups in the United States.

  The instigator was actually the five forces of the U.S. government, the Italian gangsters, the Kingdom of Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Ernst. All of them jointly promoted this situation.

  According to the normal immigration procedures, even if there is a war, the Italian immigrants to the United States should not be so miserable, but Ernst screened many high-quality immigrants to East Africa and Paraguay in advance. It is strange that the Italian immigrants to the United States can be good.
