Expedition to Europe

To be honest, even Girardin did not expect that just killing Johnny Child would have such a good effect.

If the union of James Scullin and Billy Hughes was a normal continuation of Johnny Child's death, then prompting Billy Hughes to concede to Perth was a pleasant surprise. You must know that Girardin's original purpose was only to weaken Stanley Bruce's advantage in the election.

James Scullin and Billy Hughes joined forces, which was enough to defeat Stanley Bruce, whose advantage had been greatly reduced. As for how James Scullin and Billy Hughes would distribute power after winning, this was not Girardin's concern. As long as Billy Hughes could sit down and talk with Timothy, Girardin's goal would be achieved.

Before leaving Canberra, Girardin asked Hank Kirkler to find Selina Longfellow, director of the Australian branch of the Daily News, and told the Daily News to cooperate with Timothy to build momentum for Billy Hughes, and then he left Canberra and went to Perth with peace of mind.

Wireless telegraphy is very convenient now. Even if there is any accident, Girardin can also command remotely, so it doesn't matter whether he is in Canberra or not. Moreover, with Misha's repeated urging, Girardin can't stay in Canberra for too long.

After the Tokyo Earthquake, Misha was very worried about Girardin. Japan was at least a vassal state of Lanfang, and its safety was still guaranteed. Australia was a complete "enemy country" to Lanfang. Girardin's long-term stay in the "enemy country" really made Misha worry.

Perth also has a lot of troubles. In order to break the population situation in Perth, Jack moved many blacks and Indians from Africa and South Asia. Now the population situation has indeed been broken, but there are more and more social problems. Blacks and Indians are indeed born lazy. Their mentality of getting by is very serious. As long as they are not starving to death, they will not work hard to change their living conditions. But seeing that the Chinese who have just moved here are getting better and better through hard work, they feel uncomfortable, so all the envy, jealousy and hatred are attributed to "social injustice".

In the eyes of many blacks and Indians, the reason why their living standards are not high is that the Chinese work too hard and take their jobs, so society should be "fair" and treat the hardworking Chinese and the lazy blacks and Indians equally.

Of course, when blacks and Indians made such demands, they did not consider whether it was fair to the Chinese.

This issue is too complicated and beyond their thinking ability.

Blacks and Indians also have many problems in getting along with the local people in Perth.

When Jack immigrated, he had already considered the problem of cultural adaptation, so the range of immigration he chose was in the Commonwealth region. All blacks came from British colonies in Africa, not to mention India, which was the brightest pearl in the crown of the British king.

The original intention was good, but in fact it was completely different. After these blacks and Indians came to Perth, they did not have a harmonious relationship with the local people in Perth. The conflict was not only reflected in cultural adaptation, but also in living habits, personal hygiene, life attitudes and other aspects.

Perth is the loneliest city in the world. This beautiful city on the Swan River is as elegant and luxurious as the city's symbol, the "black swan". Like Lanfang's Penglai Island and Lanling Island, it has the potential to become a world-class tourist destination.

The Swan River is the largest river in Perth. The Swan River originates from Gaoyuan in the east and flows from east to west to the sea. It gathers in Perth to form a large lake, and the estuary reaches the Indian Ocean. The Swan River divides Perth into north and south banks. The south bank is a nature reserve and the north bank is a commercial area. Perth people like to go to the south bank for vacation. People can go fishing and watch black swans on the south bank. Groups of black swans swim freely on the blue water, which is the most beautiful scenery in Perth.

When the new immigrants first arrived in Perth, the Perth Municipal Government did not have a detailed resettlement plan, so the new immigrants gathered on the south bank of the Swan River to live.

"Live in a hut", does it sound like a word full of pastoral poetry? In fact, it is not the case at all. The influx of new immigrants has caused a large number of grass huts to appear on the south bank of the Swan River, which is similar to a refugee camp. The sanitary conditions are poor, sewage is flowing, stench is overflowing, and public security incidents occur frequently.

Such an environment is not suitable for human survival at all, so the Chinese work hard to leave this hell on earth as soon as possible and move from the south bank of the Swan River to the north bank of the Swan River.

The diligence of the Chinese is very effective. The vast majority of Chinese have realized their dreams through their own efforts. A few Chinese have also left the south bank of the Swan River with the help of various "mutual aid associations" and "fellow townsmen associations". Only those blacks and Indians are happy day after day.

In fact, it is not difficult to change your living conditions in Perth through hard work. Perth is a city developed because of the "gold rush". There are still many mines in Perth. Even if the new immigrants do not have business acumen and do not have enough social resources, it is not difficult to find a job in the mine. If you don't have brains, don't you have strength?

In terms of physical conditions, there is not much difference between blacks, Indians and Chinese. What is different is whether they have a desire to improve themselves and the will to work hard to change their living conditions.

In the current Perth, the south bank of the Swan River is no longer a nature reserve, but a "shantytown", which is a synonym for "slum", which sounds better than "ghetto", but actually means the same thing.

It must be said that the natural conditions near the Perth River are still very good. The nature reserve on the south bank of the Perth River has a rich variety of fruit trees and wild animals. These natural gifts give those unenterprising guys enough reasons to be lazy. Their living conditions are indeed not very good, but they will not starve to death.

However, if you only rely on natural gifts and do not actively cultivate and raise, no matter how many fruit trees there are, there will be a day when they are all picked, not to mention wild animals. It is even more difficult for these things to reproduce and thrive. So it didn't take long for people on the south bank of the Perth River to get food.

It's not difficult either. When the pressure of survival becomes greater and greater, the black swans who live leisurely in the Perth River are unlucky.

Black people don't think that black is elegant and luxurious. For black people and Indians, black swans are just a delicious meal that can fill their stomachs when they are hungry. There is no other meaning.

I'm afraid that the Perth people would never think that these black people and Indians would set their sights on black swans. For the Perth people, they would rather starve themselves than protect the elves in these cities and the symbols of this city.

There was no animal protection policy in those days, and the people of Persia only noticed that there were fewer and fewer black swans on the river, and did not suspect that it was related to the new immigrants living on the south bank, until one day, a Persia person fishing on the Persia River found black people catching black swans-

The conflict suddenly broke out violently.

That night, nearly a hundred Persia people rushed into the refugee camp with shotguns, burned hundreds of straw huts, and left nearly a thousand new immigrants homeless.

The new immigrants were numerous and powerful, and the Persia people had superior weapons. The conflict was out of control as soon as it broke out. Six new immigrants died in the conflict, and a Persia person was seriously injured by a stone hit by the new immigrants.

The new immigrants were extremely angry. The homes they had built "with great effort" were burned down, and their relatives died in the conflict. This made them feel no friendliness from the Persia people, so the new immigrants started a large-scale march on the second day of the conflict, demanding that the Persia City Government punish the murderers.

Blacks and Indians did a really bad job of "self-discipline". What was originally a just march and demonstration turned into a "beating, smashing and looting" that affected the entire city. Now even the neutral Persians no longer had any sympathy for them.

It was against this background that Girardine came to Perth.

Although Western Australia was Jack's territory, it was also "enemy" territory strictly speaking, so Girardine did not enter Perth, but went to Rosenest Island, 15 kilometers away from Perth.

Well, it is not called "Rosnest" now, but "Guzhu".

As the name suggests, this is another island bought by Qin Zhiyuan.

Yes, it was bought by Qin Zhiyuan. Although Gaspard was the Minister of Finance of Lanfang and no longer served as Qin Zhiyuan's personal butler, Qin Zhiyuan still had a huge industry to manage, so all of this was managed by Gaspard's former deputy O. Henry.

O. Henry is still buying islands all over the world, and Bamboo Island is one of his achievements.

Bamboo Island is about 11 kilometers long and 7 kilometers wide. In the 21st century, it is a famous resort with the best beaches and crystal clear bays in the world, as well as a special ecological environment and rare flora and fauna. Private vehicles are not allowed on the island, and the only means of transportation is bicycles, so the island is also known as a dreamland for bicycle enthusiasts.

Bamboo Island was called a "resort" and a "paradise" in the 21st century. In the early 20th century, it was not a resort, but a sinful place where the "civilized world" colonized the world.

Before O. Henry bought Bamboo Island, there was the largest Aboriginal prison in Australia on the island, where countless Australian Aboriginals died tragically, unknown to the world.

Now there is no trace of the prison on the island. The former prison has been razed to the ground. On the original site of the prison, a large area of ​​colorful wooden houses unique to Lan Fang has sprung up. This has become a transit point for Lan Fang goods to enter Perth. All Lan Fang merchant ships will stop at Guzhu when traveling between Perth and Lan Fang. Relying on the merchant ships coming and going, Guzhu is becoming more and more prosperous and has become a bit like a resort.

Yeah, this can be regarded as the change that Qin Zhiyuan has brought to the world.
