Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 842 Plan
Looking at the information coming back from the United States, Yannick felt quite comfortable. "Let's be chaotic, the more chaotic the better, it's best if it's in pieces."
In later generations, many angry people dreamed that the United States could weaken into a third-rate country overnight, or disintegrate into more than a dozen countries like the Soviet Union.
As the saying goes, "If we divide for a long time, we will unite, and if we unite for a long time, we will divide." If we look at the entire historical process of mankind, in theory, the United States does have the possibility of splitting and becoming independent into multiple countries. But objectively, at least in the short term, this situation is basically unlikely to happen. Because the United States in later generations has been using the method of division to deal with every imaginary enemy. Even the Soviet Union, which was as powerful as it, was successfully broken up by it. It has long been experienced, and of course it has the means to prevent and eliminate its own country in advance.
In addition, the overall strength of the United States is still strong, its economy is still outstanding, its military can still dominate the world, and its technology remains at the top. It is only when these advantages no longer exist that the opportunity for secession may arise.
At this time, the United States was not the world's most powerful country. It was pinned to the ground and rubbed wildly by Germany, and it did not even have the ability to fight back; it seemed that if it worked harder, it could achieve this goal.
"Reinhard, can you get the Indians in America to make a fuss too?"
After all, Indians and Americans have a blood feud.
At the end of the 15th century, Columbus discovered the New World; the European colonists who came to the Americas later brought devastating disasters to the local Indians.
Most of the Indians died mainly from various diseases brought over by Europe, such as smallpox, which were fatal to the Indians who had never experienced these viruses. After the white colonists discovered this, they began to take the initiative to send carpets contaminated with smallpox virus to the Indian tribes. As a result, large areas of the indigenous people began to contract the disease and die. This should be the earliest germ warfare.
Later, the white people who became red-eyed came up with a better idea. Although the indigenous Indians had initially established several slave city-states at that time, most of them were still dominated by tribes and lived a life of fishing, hunting and gathering. The food source was herds of bison. The colonists slaughtered and drove away the buffalo in large numbers, cutting off the food source of the indigenous people. As a result, a large number of indigenous people died of starvation and died of illness and freezing during the migration.
During the westward expansion of the United States, a large number of native Indians were massacred. It can be said that most of the founders who claimed "natural human rights" were the ones who were the most ruthless to the natives, including those who drafted the Declaration of Independence, which claimed that "everyone has human rights". “All created equal” President Jefferson.
Anyone who shows any dissatisfaction or resistance will be killed without mercy; anyone who is obedient and does not resist will be moved to a reserved area and kept in captivity. After decades of recuperation, there were approximately 2 million Indians in the United States in later generations, and they were basically all imprisoned in hundreds of reservations in the West with no resources. The few who own land can partner with some consortiums to open casinos and duty-free shops. Apart from living a relatively comfortable life, most others live in poverty. These tribes do not have modern facilities such as water, electricity, television and telephones, and they cannot integrate into mainstream society. The United States' attitude towards them is to ignore them and let them fend for themselves.
After thinking about it, Yannick shook his head. "Forget it." In his original time and space, he once traveled to the United States and met several Indians. From his conversations with them, he learned that although the Indians were once slaughtered and almost extinct, the current Indians may have some influence on the United States. Some resentment, but basically no hatred, and most of them are content with the status quo.
Later, Yannick gradually understood that in the continuous strangulation that lasted for a hundred years, all the Indians who dared to resist had been slaughtered, and the remaining ones were some of the former trailblazers or mixed-race descendants. The then US President said: Okay The Indians were all dead.
The little hatred that was left was slowly erased with the passage of time.
What's interesting is that after the outbreak of World War II, American Indians actively joined the army and actively participated in the war. "History of the Development of Western North America" records the participation of American Indians in the U.S. Army: After the declaration of war against Japan in 1941, Indians actively participated in the army on an unprecedented scale. The Bureau of Indian Affairs reported in the spring of 1945 that approximately 20,000 Indians served in the U.S. Army, accounting for one-third of Indian young adults aged 18 to 50. In addition, 20,000 Indians outside reservations also registered for the draft. This brings the total number of Indian recruits to more than 40,000, and these figures do not include the number of Indian officers serving in the United States Army.
Throughout World War II, the Indians achieved brilliant results due to their bravery in combat, and eventually won 71 Air Medals, 51 Silver Star Medals, 47 Bronze Star Medals, 34 Distinguished Flying Crosses, and two Congressional Medals of Honor.
"These stupid guys." Yannick curled his lips disdainfully. "I think these guys won't be able to make a big impact. Instead of focusing on these people, we might as well start with the Germans and Irish in the United States."
According to later statistics, the number of Germans in the United States is as high as 60 million, accounting for about 17% of the United States, and is the largest ethnic group in the United States.
In the mid-19th century, the number of German immigrants to the United States reached its peak. In some places, entire villages immigrated to the United States.
As for why Germans are keen to immigrate to the United States, it has to do with the general environment in Europe and Germany at that time. Before German reunification in the 1870s, Germany was always divided, fragmented, and turbulent. Not only were they constantly at war with other European countries, they were also at war with each other. The Germans suffered from wars and life was very difficult. People longed for a stable and stable life. In addition, due to the popularity of the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century , productivity has increased significantly, and the German population has increased dramatically. However, Germany is a small country, and its limited land cannot support the growing German population, nor can it absorb the excess surplus labor, so the Germans have to find a way out elsewhere.
At that time, the United States was vast and sparsely populated, and there was a serious lack of labor, which led to Germans traveling across the ocean to the United States in droves. They were hardworking and capable, and brought advanced agricultural technology with them. Soon, the Midwestern United States became dominated by German farmers. In some states, the proportion of Germans even exceeds 40%.
"As you command, Your Highness." Reinhard nodded, hesitated, and said. "However, those Germans may have already recognized the United States as their homeland." Blood consciousness is only found in European monarchies, and Americans are more concerned about legal status.
Yannick smiled. "There will always be those ambitious people who will not be content with the status quo. The greater the risk, the higher the reward."
