Chapter 842 Plan

Looking at the intelligence sent back from the United States, Yannick was in a very comfortable mood. "Let it be chaotic, the more chaotic the better, and it would be best if it was torn apart."

In later generations, many angry people dreamed that the United States would weaken into a third-rate country overnight, or disintegrate into more than a dozen countries like the Soviet Union.

As the saying goes, "long divisions must unite, and long unites must divide." If we look at the entire human history, 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 will basically not 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 on par with it, was successfully disintegrated by it, and it has long been experienced. Of course, there will be means of early prevention and elimination for its own country.

In addition, the United States' comprehensive strength is still strong, its economy is still awesome, its military can still dominate the world, and its technology is still at the top. Only when these advantages no longer exist will there be a chance of division.

At this time, the United States is not the world's number one power. It was pressed to the ground and rubbed wildly by Germany, and it didn't even have the ability to fight back; it seems that if it works harder, it can achieve this goal.

"Reinhard, can we make the American Indians also make trouble?"

After all, the Indians and Americans have a deep blood feud.

At the end of the 15th century, Columbus discovered the New World; the European colonists who came to America afterwards brought devastating disasters to the local Indians.

Most Indians died mainly from various diseases brought by Europe, such as smallpox, which was 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 Indian tribes, so that a large area of ​​natives began to get sick and die. This should be the earliest bacterial warfare.

Afterwards, the white people who were bloodthirsty came up with a better idea. At that time, although the Indians had initially established several large slave city-states, most of them were still mainly tribes, living a life of fishing, hunting and gathering, and their main food source was herds of bison. The colonists slaughtered and drove away the bison in large numbers, cutting off the food source of the natives, so that a large number of natives starved to death and died of illness and freezing during the migration process.

During the westward movement in the United States, a large number of Indians were massacred. It can be said that most of the founding fathers who claimed "natural human rights" were the ones who were the most ruthless to the indigenous people, including President Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence and claimed that "all men are created equal."

Anyone who is dissatisfied or resists will be killed without mercy; anyone who is obedient and does not resist will be moved to the reservation and kept in captivity. After decades of recuperation, there are about 2 million Indians in the United States in later generations, and they are basically kept in hundreds of reservations in the West without resources. A few who own land can partner with some consortiums to open casinos and duty-free shops, and their lives are relatively comfortable, but most of the others live in poverty. These tribes do not have modern facilities such as water, electricity, television, and telephones, and cannot integrate into mainstream society. The attitude of the United States 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 traveled to the United States and met several Indians. During the conversation with them, he learned that although the Indians had been massacred to the point of almost extinction, the current Indians may have some aversion to the United States, but basically no hatred, and most of them are content with the status quo.

Later, Yannick gradually figured it out. In the continuous strangulation that lasted for a hundred years, the Indians who dared to resist had been slaughtered, and the remaining ones were some former guides or mixed-blood descendants. The then US President said: All good Indians are dead.

The little hatred that was originally left was slowly wiped out with the passage of time.

And what's interesting is that after the outbreak of World War II, American Indians enthusiastically joined the army and actively participated in the war. The "History of the Development of the North American West" records the scene of American Indians joining the US Army: After declaring war on Japan in 1941, Indians actively joined the army on an unprecedented scale. The Bureau of Indian Affairs reported in the spring of 1945 that about 20,000 Indians served in the US Army, accounting for one-third of the young and middle-aged Indians aged 18-50. In addition, 20,000 Indians outside the reservation also registered for the draft. In this way, the total number of Indians who applied reached more than 40,000, and these figures did not include the number of Indian officers serving in the US Army.

Throughout World War II, 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 Cross Medals and two Congressional Medals of Honor.

"These stupid guys." Yannick curled his lips in disdain. "I don't think these guys will become anything big. Instead of focusing on these people, it's better to 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, and in some places, entire villages migrated to the United States.

As for why Germans are keen to immigrate to the United States, it is related to the general environment of Europe and Germany at that time. Before the unification of Germany in the 1870s, Germany was always in a state of division, a mess and turmoil. Not only did it fight endlessly with other European countries outside, but the states also fought each other. The Germans suffered from the war and had a very difficult life. People all longed for a stable and stable life; in addition, due to the popularization of the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century, productivity increased significantly, and the population of Germany increased dramatically. However, Germany was small in area, and the limited land could not feed the growing German population, nor could it digest the excess surplus labor, so the Germans had to find a way out elsewhere.

At that time, the United States was sparsely populated and seriously lacked labor, which led to the Germans crossing the ocean to the United States in groups. They were hardworking and capable, and brought advanced agricultural technology. Soon the Midwest of the United States became the world of German farmers. In some states, the proportion of Germans even exceeded 40%.

"Yes, Your Highness." Reinhard nodded, hesitated, and spoke. "However, those Germans have probably already recognized the United States as their homeland." The awareness of bloodline is only found in European monarchies, and Americans are more concerned about legal identity.

Yannick smiled. "There will always be some ambitious people who will not be content with the status quo. The greater the risk, the higher the reward."
