It is estimated that at least hundreds of millions of gold and huge human resources would be required to build a railway that runs through the vast deserts and mountains and valleys between the central and western part of the White Eagle Federation, which is enough to emptie the federal government's revenue for decades.
This is not something the federal government or any consortium capital can bear independently.
This also led to the plan that the Federal Railways have always existed on paper.
Therefore, the federal government is currently unable to attack the western region by land and air. After all, the entire eastern region of the Federation is still only close to five million people, and it is already the largest population in the New World.
This is because of the many wars and chaos in the old continent over the years, resulting in a huge increase in the number of immigrants. Immigration alone accounts for nearly one-third of the new population in the past twenty years.
This has led to the emergent gold rush, 80% of Jinsha Port are European immigrants, mainly in the Holy Empire. After all, the Holy Empire is divided into two north and south to compete for sovereignty, and various countries also have melee, plus the Northern Holy Holy Holy
The war between the Imperial Alliance and Franz, as well as the conflict of interest between the Holy Empire and Franz about the Roman region, and behind it, Brooke, the Europa scoundrel, was secretly provoking discord. Therefore, the Europa continent has not been considered peaceful in the past few decades.
This is also one of the reasons why the three western states are becoming increasingly alienated from the eastern part.
The fight cannot be fought, this is the common view of John and Emsdan's royal family after they received the news.
Of course, although the three western states also knew that the possibility of a war breaking out in a short period of time was very slim, they were still ready for war. The steam warship purchased from Brooke set sail from the Sands Port Naval Base on the same day and inspected the western coast. It was obviously a recruitment of troops from the east.
Response made.
The title of a 100,000 army could not scare the three western states at all. Outsiders do not know that as the three states within the federal government, they naturally know that with the federal government's finances, they could not mobilize a 100,000 army at all.
Although the White Eagle Federation is the largest country in the New World, with a total population of more than 6 million, it is difficult to organize an army of 100,000 in a short time with a population advantage of nearly 5 million in the east. After all, the federal standing army is not
50,000, including most of the militia guards directly belonging to the states. The government troops directly under the president only have more than 10,000.
You should know that in this era, the New World, especially the Northland, had a vast land and sparse population that could cause people who like to travel to collapse.
Not to mention the two Jedi, the Golden Leaf Forest and the Death Desert, the two Jedi that humans cannot penetrate, just talking about the White Eagle Federation, a country that occupies the essence of the Northland region, except for the relatively densely populated eastern cities, other places are usually as vast as ten square kilometers.
It is difficult to find a hundred people in the area, and the north of the west is so deserted that it is often uninhabited for a hundred miles. Even the local natives are added up, with a total population of less than two million, while the area of the north land is just
It can be compared with the entire Europa continent, not to mention the same vast southern continent.
It is now the main world in 1851. The total population of the White Eagle Federation is only six million, most of which are concentrated in the east, and hundreds of thousands are annexed parts of Haigar, as well as the Franz colonies and the Sbanian colonies.
The population brought later.
Most of these people who were forced to join the federal government can be imagined. Basically, people are talking about returning to their motherland or independence every day. Even the earliest five eastern states are always in the process of independence.
Each state has great independence, and there are only about three and a half states that can completely control the situation.
So this period is the best time for oppressed people to cause trouble with ambitious people. If the Eastern capitalists join forces with the federal government to settle opponents, or even carry out a major reshuffle, it is impossible for some states to leave the federal government.
Both Corey and Ian understand John's attitude. After all, his identity is different from himself, or John, as Crown Prince of Emsdan, is essentially an existence that is opposite to the White Eagle federal government.
Because as a member of the old aristocratic class, he was born to be an enemy of the emerging bourgeoisie.
Fortunately, the two were not the hard-core capitalist republicans who were brainwashed and grew up. They understood that aristocrats were not synonymous with dictatorship and cruelty. Speaking of which, this was also the backing of all the nobles of the few serf-based countries led by the aristocratic class of the Ivan Empire.
pot.
Because in addition to the Ivan Empire, in the hundreds of years after entering the Renaissance, the Europa native countries had long abandoned the backward serfdom, and most of the nobles were still very enlightened.
At this time, it was the aristocratic class who became the pioneers of science and civilization, rather than capitalists, capitalists advocated by later generations, and now they are just vampires in the eyes of the public. Their status can be said to be second only to the thieves and robbers who everyone shouted to beat.
It was precisely because of the enlightenment of the nobles that the emerging bourgeoisie grew stronger. In order to seek more rights and wealth, these capitalists began to turn from clinging to aristocrats to swallow the nutrients of the nobles and seek independence.
The rise of capital is bloody. Within the republic that claims to be more civilized, the oppression of the common people is no better than that of the serf-based countries. Some workers even lived more difficult than the feudal serf-based countries in the Middle Ages.
After the nouveau riche-like capitalists turn around and make a decision, their lives are more luxurious than those of the nobles who know how to control themselves.
For time travelers like John, in fact, whether it is a republic or an imperial system, it doesn’t matter who is advanced or who is behind, who is good or who is bad. These two systems are not the decisive factors that affect national stability and prosperity. Those who determine these will always be rulers.
Or people.
Most of the Europas who immigrated to the New World were mainly people from the Holy Empire. These were the same as his identity in this life, so no one had any of them in the western states such as Heisencel.
I feel disgusted, but there are many supporters.
Cory, who was still young, was a little confused.
"Why? Is federal unification not good? These people in the west are so opposed to the federal government?"
But John smiled and pointed a piece in the newspaper and replied:
"No, because as long as you have seen the gap between the poor in the eastern part of the Federation and the poor in the western part of the Federation with your own eyes, people with normal minds will know how to choose."
It was a critical article accusing unscrupulous factory owners of oppression of child and female workers.
Even in the east of "freedom and democracy", there are still journalists and newspapers with conscience, and newspapers are not the mouthpieces of those unscrupulous capitalists.
Ian Fleming nodded in a heavy tone and said:
"That's right, even in a powerful country like Brook, the factories in the civilian areas of Lenburg and the factory areas, there are hard-working children and women everywhere. Some of them can't even live for three years. This is the inevitable result of the steam revolution.
The pain…”
These words silenced Cory, a young student with passion, who was still passionate.
Because he understood that the Federation can now dominate the New World, most of which are due to the dividends brought by the development of the steam industry.
And these dividends are extracted from the poor and miserable female child laborers and ordinary workers.
