The Rise Of Australasia

```

Throughout the history of Australasia's development, population has always been an omnipresent topic that Australasia has never been able to avoid.

Lacking people, lacking Europeans, and especially lacking British immigrants has always been a major issue for Australasia in terms of population.

Although Australasia made significant efforts for this cause, the overall population of British descendants limited the number of immigrants to Australasia, which, in turn, limited Australasia's development.

This is also why Arthur wanted to maintain good relations with the United Kingdom, not just because the British Empire was the current world superpower, able to provide Australasia with a vast amount of aid, but also because the population immigrating to Australasia from the British Empire each year was something Arthur valued.

Due to historical reasons, Australasia simply could not break free from the influence of Britain, nor could it change the fact that the dominant ethnic group within the country comprised British descendants.

Maintaining the proportion of the nation's dominant ethnic group is very important, as it relates to the country's stability and the fundamental issue of whether the nation can prosper for a long time.

While Australasia was already trying its best to foster the concept of an Australasian identity, the cultivation of such a national identity requires decades to perfect; it wasn't simply a matter of gathering a group of people and declaring them to be Australasians.

Nor was it about making the people identify with this national concept from the bottom of their hearts and spontaneously acknowledge themselves as part of this nation. Only then could the creation of the Australasian identity be considered complete.

In order to increase its immigrant population, and also to create some discord for its biggest competitor, the United States, under Arthur's orders, Australasia initiated a plan known as the Staining Project, with the aim of sowing greater discord within America.

Ever since the American Civil War, Black people had gained rights similar to those of white people, which greatly displeased the whites who discriminated heavily against Blacks, naturally leading to conflicts between the two races.

Even the renowned President Wilson of America was one of those who discriminated against Black people, which goes to show just how severe the discrimination of that era was.

But there was a problem: when the American Government fought the Civil War, it called for the liberation of all rights of Black people, giving them freedom.

The current actions of the government did not match its original call to action, causing a considerable number of Blacks to feel dissatisfied, and racial tensions began to surface at that moment.

However, at that time, the strength of Black people was not yet very formidable, and in an era where the world's situation was rather ominous, it was difficult for Blacks to wield real power of speech.

But as the number of Black people increased, the conflict between Blacks and whites had become an underlying problem for America.

At present, all European countries were primarily Caucasian, and America, as a country colonized by whites, now had a significant part of its population who were Black, which made America's lineage seem not quite pure.

Of course, America was not alone in its troubles. Post-World War II France faced a more severe "coloring crisis" than America and the former glory of France was gone for good.

How to accelerate America's racial crisis? Increasing the proportion of Blacks, especially those who did not submit to the rule of the American Government, was very important.

After careful consideration, Arthur decided to send all the remaining Black Indigenous Peoples of Australasia to America and encouraged a large number of Blacks in Africa to go to America in pursuit of their freedom.

This plan was also known as the Staining Project, which aimed to cause a racial divide between the white and Black populations in America, and create greater division and gaps within the country.

In mid-May 1922, Australasia's Staining Project officially began its action.

The first batch of Blacks transported to America amounted to tens of thousands of Indigenous Peoples.

These Indigenous Peoples had already received relevant education in Australasia and they had only one purpose in going to America, which was to pursue their freedom while also doing as much as possible to disturb the order in America and sabotage the relationship between America's Black and white populations.

Of course, to ensure that these Black Indigenous Peoples acted in unison, there were those among them who were loyal to Australasia; they were specifically responsible for maintaining contact with the Australasian side and also making more detailed plans for action.

Australasia had been in charge of New Guinea and many other Colonies for a long time, and indeed there were quite a few Black Indigenous Peoples willing to join Australasia's governance and submit to Arthur's management.

Arthur maintained a rejecting attitude towards these Black people but was not overly harsh with them, waiting for an opportunity like now.

These Black people were not permitted to reside in Australasia, but they could live in other countries, such as the United States with its large Black population.

On board the ship to America, there were approximately dozens of Blacks. These individuals looked different from the Africans, their expressions revealing hints of a Tank.

"Eric, is America really like they say? Not only do they respect our rights, but they will also give us official jobs?" a Black man turned his gaze toward the person next to him and asked softly.

"Who knows? But we have nowhere else to go, don't we? I believe Australasia wouldn't lie to us; I've seen it on the newspapers they provided, Black people in America can conduct Protests and also fight for more rights for themselves," replied the man beside him, clearly the leader of this group of Black people.

"If Africans can make a living in America, why can't we? On the contrary, we should live better than Africans. We need to make the American people fully acknowledge our status!" he continued.

The journey and expenses of these Black people heading for America were all arranged by Australasia, and thus they no longer harbored hatred towards Australasia.

Even under the influence of just a few Black people, those who were sent to the United States felt immense gratitude toward Australasia.

They were thankful to Australasia for sending them to a land where they could survive, all the more to a place like America which is a haven for the pursuit of freedom.

Arthur had high hopes for this group of Black people, providing them with supplies before their departure to ensure they were well-fed and ready for the journey.

He instilled in them an appreciation for America's value of freedom and respect for human rights, inspiring them to dream of what life in the United States could be like.

Next, there was the strategy of zero-dollar shopping, which at this time was merely a subtle influence on these Black people. When they realized that life in America was not as good as they had imagined, this might have become their way to vent.

Zero-dollar shopping by black people in later generations became quite infamous, causing major losses for many urban city stores across the United States.

Such a scenario would be unimaginable in any country, but if it happened in the United States, Arthur would only applaud and cheer on.

The current situation was different from that of later generations. If Black people were to rob Caucasian people's stores, the latter would definitely not sit by idly.

Even more so, Caucasians may erupt in even more intense conflicts, given that power in the United States was still held by Caucasians, whose pride and self-esteem did not permit easy robbery by Black people.

Would Black people be willing to escalate conflicts after that? That's a good question. If there were many behind-the-scenes hands from Australasia among the Black people, then they would surely initiate a rebellion.

If they could ignite a complete conflict between Caucasian and Black people within the United States, it would be beneficial for Australasia, effectively neutralizing the threat from the United States.

Because the number of Black people being transported to the United States was so great, to avoid attracting attention, they would travel on transport ships from different countries, arriving in the United States in different batches over time.

Hundreds of thousands of Black people would be dispersed across various states and cities in the United States, hoping to influence more American Black people to change the situation in the country.

Should disturbances arise in America, other countries would not miss such an opportunity.

Even without the infamous Great Depression of later years, the United States was doomed to not withstand the covetousness of other nations.

Not to mention anything else, the British Empire would not pass up this greatest competitor.

If it were possible to completely resolve the issue of the United States as the greatest competitor through the internal chaos, it's believed that everyone from the British Royal Family to every British common person would agree to do so.

This is much like the competition with Germany before World War I, where the competition could only result in success because the two countries were inevitably headed towards mutual destruction.

However, this raises a question worth pondering: after America's division, who will be the British Empire's greatest competitor?

Currently, it would likely be France since it is the strongest country on the European Continent and a neighbor to the British Empire.

But compared with the United States, the Frenchmen's competitiveness is not so formidable. Alone, France currently poses no threat to Britain, as its losses in the war have been too severe, barring it from the status of the top powers.

Unless France could annex Germany directly after the war, perhaps rising to be a superpower on par with Britain and the United States.

But setting aside whether Britain and the United States would allow this, the tens of millions of German Population within Germany would definitely not tolerate French rule.

In fact, even the regions of Alsace and Lorraine, reclaimed by France, would be anything but straightforward to govern.

The only way for Frenchmen to take complete control of Alsace and Lorraine is to expel the Germans from these regions and move as many French immigrants there as possible.

Germany's decades of control over these areas had resulted in a significant German population there, who would not submit to French rule.

Although these regions were reclaimed, the German population in Alsace and Lorraine posed not a demographic asset, but a potential threat to France.

This is akin to if the United States in later generations occupied a part of Russia and then transformed those Russians into American people.

Leaving aside whether the occupation would be opposed by other countries, just the ethnic issue within the occupied regions would be enough to give the occupying country a headache.

The only solution would be to expel all these people and replace them with immigrants from their own country to ensure long-term stability of the occupied areas.
