Chapter 107 Western Australia Mining Area

Although Helena did not quite understand the deeper meaning of Liu Fu's warnings and suggestions, she still expressed that she would earnestly implement Liu Fu's suggestions. In fact, Liu Fu's worries were completely groundless. He only relied on what he had learned in later generations.

Hearing or seeing some rumors that Jewish capital likes to control the country's economic lifeline, Liu Fu adopts a precautionary measure. As for whether these Jewish bankers will actually do this, Liu Fu also

Not sure.

The matter of allowing Jewish immigrants to return to live in southern Palestine is now a foregone conclusion. Even if the British government is not willing to let the South China Sea Federation prick a small thorn in the Middle East under its control, there is currently nothing it can do. At most, it can

The suspected blue people living there and the Jews who immigrated back to the designated Jewish residential area in southern Palestine provoked some ethnic conflicts, causing some minor troubles for the Zionist organization and the South China Sea federal government, in order to increase their presence in the international community.

That's all.

Regarding the issue of Palestine, Liu Fu has also reached an agreement with the Zionist organization. From now on, the federal government will no longer take the initiative to fight for their organization. The scale of immigration and the speed of construction of Jewish residential areas in Palestine.

The level of defense must be done internally by their organizations. In addition to helping them train militias, the federal government provides sufficient weapons and equipment, and sells various supplies.

Apart from this, they can only work hard in the international community to help them maintain their current legal status. They have to fight for other things on their own. As for the future establishment of the country, it is too early to talk about it. Liu Fu suggested that Zionism

The organization will first develop in Palestine for a period of time, and carry out active diplomacy during this period to strive to gain recognition from more countries, and then the two sides will discuss the issue of statehood five years later.

In fact, it was not that Liu Fu was unwilling to allow the Jews to establish a state in Palestine, or that the Jews were not prepared enough, etc. He was waiting for the arrival of another catastrophe that would sweep the world. Before this catastrophe came, the South China Sea

The Federation can only slowly expand its power and strength within the limits that each country can tolerate, and it is not appropriate to continue

Take any big action, otherwise the catastrophe may befall the South China Sea Federation. If most countries in the world come together to attack the South China Sea Federation, Liu Fu is really not sure that he can

Mustache's tough nerves can command the federal army to fight against the whole world, and fight effectively.

While the Jews were busy immigrating to Palestine and drawing most of the world's attention to the barren land in the Middle East, Liu Fu was also secretly immigrating to a place that he had long admired. That

That's Australia.

At the beginning, Liu Fu asked Schneider to abandon the American oil companies and go to Australia to defraud Australians of their iron ore. Half of the money was for the high-quality minerals, and the other half was to open a channel for immigrants to Australia.

Liu Fu has always been obsessed with Australia. This fertile land is only a few meters away from the South China Sea Federation.

The hundreds of kilometers of sea routes, rich and desolate, are a good place for immigrants. Although the Australian government has always adhered to the "White Australia" policy and tried its best to prevent Asian residents from settling in Australia, especially the Chinese, Schneider's South Pacific Oil

Mining companies carry out large-scale mining in Western Australia, but this big cover still hides many people.

Western Australia, Southern Railway Port, a mixed cargo ship of the Helena Shipping Company flying the American flag slowly docked on the cement and rock pier. After the ship stopped, they lined up from the gangway.

Group after group of people wearing khaki work clothes and hats of the same color and texture appeared. On the backs of these people's work clothes, there were obvious signs of the South Pacific Petroleum Mining Company, but under the brim of the hat, they were all the same.

Asian faces.

These people are mining workers employed by the South Pacific Petroleum Mining Company "all over the world". The vast majority of them are Asian. In fact, if you check their identities carefully, you will find that 100% of these Asians are

A resident of the South China Sea Federation, South Pacific Petroleum and Mining Company built a port in the northwest of the mining area of ​​Western Australia in 1921.

Since the port and railway, a large number of such hired workers have been sent to the land of Western Australia by sea from the Southern Railway Port every year. So far, the total number has exceeded 100,000. They have built buildings in the coastal areas of the northwest corner of Australia.

Three small cities, while taking trains to work in the mines every day, they also struggle with the harsh natural environment here in Western Australia.

These people are mining workers recruited by the federal government within the federal territory. Their average salary is 2 to 3 times higher than that in the federal territory. Although there is no shortage of land in the federal territory, due to the widespread spread of large-scale agricultural cooperatives, in the past

The kind of single-family agricultural farming can no longer survive. Mechanization and large-scale

The cooperative farming has raised the efficiency of agricultural production to the limit of this era. Under this efficiency, low cost and high output are inevitable trends, and the prices of various agricultural products in the federal country are also very low.

The agricultural population that did not participate in cooperatives could not compete with this large-scale mechanized production and went bankrupt one after another.

These bankrupt farmers currently have only two options. One is to join a cooperative and continue to work on the land, or to go to the city, join the army of workers, break away from dependence on the land, and become an industrial worker. However, in

When these two identities transform into each other, some disharmony will inevitably occur. Some farmers can neither continue farming nor find suitable jobs for a while. Then these people will be organized by the local government to become the South Pacific.

Employees of oil and mining companies went to Western Australia to mine.

In order to further relieve the concerns of these farmers who have never left their hometown, the wages of these miners are set higher than the average wage level in the federal country, and after working for 5 years, they can apply to return to the federal country, according to their wages

In terms of salary, after 5 years, the money they have saved will be able to buy housing in cities within the Federation, and the skills they have learned in operating mining machinery in these 5 years can also find suitable jobs for them within the Federation.

.

In addition to these real miners, there is also a federal engineering team of more than 4,000 people working and living in the northwest region of Western Australia. Their main task is to build a railway network linking various mines and ports, and between cities, and to provide services to Western Australia.

The terrain of northwest Australia is surveyed and mapped. The main purpose of this survey and mapping is not to mine minerals, but to draw military maps.

At first, the Western Australian government was opposed to the influx of such a large number of Asian miners into its own land, but it was indeed impossible to hire such a large number of miners locally in Western Australia, and the prices of miners in European and American countries were not as high as those of the South Pacific oil mining industry.

The company is willing to pay, and the South China Sea federal government has used ethnic issues as an excuse to attack neighboring countries several times. The Australian government does not want to cause any conflicts between countries because of this purely commercial behavior.

The confrontation between countries, more importantly, is that the current naval strength of the Australian government cannot compete with the navy of the South China Sea Federation. Although the British government has sold two battleships to the Australian government at a very low price, with the current economic situation of the Australian government

With its strength, it cannot support more navy. Australia is still an agricultural country, and its only valuable iron ore was defrauded by the damn South Pacific Petroleum Mining Company.

As the scale of iron ore mining in northwest Western Australia expanded, more and more miners from all over Western Australia, Australia and all over the world came to work. By the end of 1923, there were more than 10,000 miners from all over the world here.

The miners are also employees of the South Pacific Petroleum Mining Company. Like the Asian miners, they live in several newly established towns on the northwest coast of the mining area. They take the train to work with these Asian miners every day, but there are so many people.

Compared with Asian miners, it is much less. (To be continued...)
