  Chapter 365 Fraudulent immigration

The fire burned for two full days and two nights, and it was not until a downpour came that the horrible fire was extinguished. However, two-thirds of downtown Chicago was completely turned into scorched earth, with hotels, commercial buildings, opera houses, Banks and postal buildings were engulfed in flames.

Burnt corpses can be seen everywhere on the streets, but more dead were burnt to the ground by the fire, and some people fled to the shore of Lake Michigan in panic to escape the fire, jumped into the lake but were unfortunately drowned Dead, floating corpses floated on Lake Michigan, and the streets near the Chicago branch of Hechingen Bank were crowded with people affected by the disaster.

  In order to prevent the outbreak of the plague, the bank staff disinfected the area around the bank for two weeks, and set up refugee settlements around the bank.

  Although the Chicago branch is not built in the center of the city, it has more financial resources to spend on land and buildings, so it is the bank with the largest area in Chicago. The surrounding area is as open as East Africa for greening.

   "Mr. President, this is a telegram from the New York headquarters!" The secretary interrupted Odyssey who was drinking tea in a good mood in the office.

  Odyssey: "Are they well-informed?"

  Although most of Chicago’s communications were interrupted, communications in the West End have been restored. Except for the West End, the yards on the south side of Chicago, most of the city’s railways, and the piers, mills, and lumberyards along the Chicago River were not affected by the fire.

  Odyssey took the telegram and read it. He frowned and said, "Oh, I really can't be idle for a moment, and why didn't I know that there is an East African immigration agency in Chicago? Have you heard of it!"

  The secretary shook his head and said: "Mr. President, you have never heard of it, and it is even less likely that I have."

  Odyssey: "Forget it, don't worry about this issue, the New York headquarters asked us to cooperate with the immigration agency, but immigrating from the United States to other regions feels like a dream!"

   Odyssey did not doubt whether it would succeed. The Great Chicago Fire burned down the life savings of many Chicago citizens.

Now the streets are full of refugees. If no one takes care of them for a short period of time, even eating will be a problem. In fact, this situation has already happened. From yesterday to now, the robbery incidents in the West District have not stopped. It is better to rely on God than to rely on the US government. His old man appeared, and now the rescue organizations and churches formed spontaneously by Chicago citizens are fighting on the front line of rescue in Chicago.

It is not surprising that the East African Immigration Agency appeared in the United States. Apart from Germany and Austria, the United States has the largest number of Germans. Although there is a diversion from East Africa, the German population in the United States still reached more than 7 million in 1870 (more than 8 million in history. ), among which the Germans who immigrated to the United States accounted for about 80% from 1820 to 1870, while the total population of the United States at this time was only 36 million (more than 38 million in history).

  At that time, the total population of East Africa was about 7 million, and newborns and immigrants from other ethnic groups accounted for a large number. It is certain that there were more Germans in the United States than in East Africa, a German country.

   Moreover, the Germans in the United States are more authentic than the Germans in East Africa. Although there are parallel imports from places such as Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they are better than countries in East Africa that pretend to be horses. It is a bit exaggerated to refer to a deer as a horse. In fact, East Africa changed the German nation from a blood identity to a cultural identity.

   Soon with the cooperation of the Chicago branch, the East African Immigration Agency began operations in Chicago.

   "Hey bro, where are you from?"

   "?"

   "I mean, do you mean to develop in another place? We are looking for jobs for the unemployed."

   "Really, sir!" Chicago citizens' eyes lit up when they heard about the job.

   "Ahem, of course, that is, the place of work is not in Chicago, and I need to go to other places."

"It doesn't matter, sir, look at the scorched earth, the owner of the restaurant where I work is probably left with a pile of ashes, and now I really don't know what to do! My home is gone, woo woo woo ..." The man burst into tears as he spoke.

   Those who hear it are sad, and those who hear it cry.

   "Oh, don't worry, everything is over, what's the big deal, start all over again, what does a big man look like crying!"

   "You sound good, I'm sorry that I traveled across the ocean from Europe to the United States when I was 15 years old. I managed to save a little savings, and now it's all gone!"

"Brother, you are destined to have this calamity. **** was not crucified in the same way. Now God bless you, didn't you meet me! I will take you to a good place. The conditions are not worse than Chicago, but there is no entertainment. , life is a bit monotonous, but for poor people like us, as long as we work hard, we can do well."

Hearing what he said, the man immediately thought of the west, "You don't mean to recommend me a job in the west! Let me tell you, I'm timid and I heard that the west is messy. I don't want to be a cowboy. or."

   "Don't worry, will I cheat you? Dogs don't go to places in the western United States. Although the job I recommend to you is far away from Chicago, it is very stable, even more stable than Chicago."

"this…"

   Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, the immigration officer said, "Don't worry, we are going by water. Today's boat is going east from the canal."

This sentence is very misleading. If you go by water, you are definitely not going to the west. If you go to the west, you usually have to go by land, either by horse-drawn carriage or by rail. .

   "Alright then! Let's go now!"

  He is very bachelor, and now he really has nothing left but his life.

  Immigration Agency: "Of course, just follow me!"

  In the next few days, the immigration agency will be pulling people in Chicago. Although the Germans are the main target, it is not sure whether they are. All of these can only be judged by the appearance, clothing, and accent of the immigration agency staff.

  The immigration agency also packed away the Chinese who survived the Chicago fire. The Chinese in the United States are easy to distinguish, and the braid is one for each.

  The staff of the Immigration Department communicated one by one in the not-so-authentic Far Eastern dialect: "Nihao, Xuyao, do you offer your table!" (Do you need work.)

  Most of the Chinese immigrants are the lowest-level laborers. There is no other choice. Don’t care if they are fooled or not. I have been fooled to the United States. What are you afraid of!

There are a lot of Chinese in Chicago, and some of them were lost in the fire. However, the number of victims in the American statistics is only 300, which does not include Chinese, Italians, Indians, blacks, and some people without relatives. There are too many people who immigrate to the country without relatives or reasons.

Therefore, it is difficult to know exactly how many people were killed in the Chicago Fire, but Odyssey, the president of the Chicago branch, believes that the number may exceed 10,000. There are more than 300 corpses carried out from the city center alone, and there are ashes, drowning, trampling and death. dead...

The disorder after the Chicago fire made the people in the immigration department a lot more emboldened. Except for the Chinese, no matter whether they were Germans or not, they all flicked to the ship first, and then dragged them directly to New York, and then sent them to the sea ship. The USCIS said they were going to the south, but the USCIS’s answer was ambiguous. These immigrants defaulted to the southern part of the United States. As for which south it is, the people at the USCIS have the final say. Is East Africa located in the southern hemisphere? I understand everything.

  Once they were fooled into going to the sea ship, the armed men of the East African Kingdom took over. The enthusiastic fellow villagers instantly turned into strict soldiers, which even aroused the concerns of many real Germans. This could not be conscription! A large part of the Germans who immigrated to the United States came to the United States to escape military service and war. Therefore, in the fear of these immigrants, ships sailed from New York to East Africa.

  All this is done quietly. After all, under the noses of the Americans, the East African government is not very good at attracting people to East Africa openly. The immigration agency uses various means to fool people, but they don’t say they are going to East Africa.

  The quality of these immigrants to East Africa may not be as good as the immigrants from the German region, but they are also needed in East Africa. Many of them are railway workers, which happen to be used for the next railway construction in East Africa.

  Not only in the United States, but actually the East African Immigration Agency has landed in the entire Americas. Canada, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico are all the targets of the East African Kingdom.

Most of the German immigrants to the Americas are low-level civilians. There are many people who are poorly mixed. If they are not happy, it means that they can be tapped. The East African kingdom does not need the ability. As long as you can speak German, you can go to East Africa to live A slave who farms honestly is a good immigrant.
