C2457 Season of harvest (1/2)

The facts proved Xiang Ying's judgement. With Gladstone's help and with the Royal Family's tacit approval, the House of Commons approved the Mauritius's Nature Reserve's sale plan by 21 votes to 21.

The Princess Cissie had joined hands with the Chinese Ministry of Finance in her own right to raise 100,000 pounds to buy the 800 square kilometers of land in the northern part of the Mauritius permanently. The dodo s in the Imperial Botanic Garden would thrive here, and the Queen had ordered that before the dodo population could recover, any hunting or trading would be illegal.

It had to be said that Xiao Letian created number one in the world. He was the first person in human history to establish a nature reserve.

The future generations of nature conservationists all praised Xiao Letian as the ancestor of their family. This was an unexpected gain that Xiao Letian had never expected.

Three hours after the House of Commons' vote ended, the House of Lords had no objections at all and actually passed the purchase bill with a full vote. That same afternoon, the Royal Asset Management Office signed an agreement with Sima Yun, the representative of the Chinese people, to deliver 100,000 pounds of promissory notes to him.

Countless of reporters had recorded this moment in history with their cameras!

The British did not know that half a month before the agreement was signed, Xiao Letian had already sent a secret message to the Ryukyu, telling the head guard, Xiao Hexin, to begin preparing to immigrate to the Mauritius.

According to the plan, in the entire year 1870, the Chinese would immigrate to Mauritius with 30,000 people. In this era, this was already the population of a medium-sized city.

These thirty thousand people could transform eight hundred square kilometers of land into a self-sufficient reclamation area within three to four years. They could guarantee food self-sufficiency while at the same time developing some economic crops.

A new, predominantly Chinese port city will appear in the Mauritius, where Chinese merchants will gradually open up trading routes in Madagascar and eastern Africa, thus creating economic foundations for more immigrants in the later stages of life.

In ten years, the population of the Chinese people in the Mauritius will definitely exceed 100 thousand. With these 100 thousand people as the base, China's culture will become the mainstream, creating favourable conditions for the later stages of the annexation of this island.

Xiao Letian knew how to endure. He knew that the world would not be a peaceful place in the future, and no matter how he, a butterfly, flapped his wings, the wheel of history would not change too much.

Because capitalism is destined to evolve into imperialism, which is the inevitable development of human history, and the development of imperialism to a certain stage will inevitably trigger a world-class war.

Two world wars would probably be hard to avoid because it was impossible for the new races to not challenge the old Lion King. The unbalanced distribution of the colonies would require war to reshuffle their cards.

Don't underestimate the people who signed the contracts for the purchase and sale of the land. The sovereignty of the United Kingdom was not challenged, and even the western part of Australia that Xiang Ying analyzed, began to be immigrated according to the pattern of the Mauritius.

But after the huge crisis of the Western Civilization, there would be room for negotiation. By that time, the Chinese would have become strong, and become the biggest power in Asia.

Both sides in the conflict would do everything possible to start diplomatic contacts with the Chinese. If the British wanted the support of the Chinese, they could not avoid losing some blood.

The areas where the Chinese lived in naturally had the ability to incorporate themselves into the Chinese. Under conditions that were ripe, these reclamation area could even declare their own independence.

The decline of the British Empire was certain, what Xiao Letian needed to do now was to make preparations in advance within his huge colonial system, and do everything in his power to cut flesh under the background of the collapse of the British colony.

The layout of the experts had profound insights, it was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person!
