Chapter 997 A Chance to Change Fate (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Everyone is courting the Empire!

Of course the one to please is the Ming Empire!

There's nothing wrong with joining when you can't win.

As for the Brazilian Empire... Hasn't it long since perished?
Regardless of whether the Brazilians are willing to face it.

The Brazilian Empire no longer exists!

In fact, for many so-called "Brazilians", they have no feelings for the Brazilian Empire. After all, this is a country of immigrants. Among the 500 million Europeans and mixed races, at least half are from Germany. Italy and Russia etc.As for the northwestern region, it is dominated by indigenous people who have no loyalty to the Brazilian Empire.

That is to say, around Rio, Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais, there are many Portuguese and mixed races living, many of them have lived in Brazil for hundreds of years, especially those plantation owners, who own land, wealth and Privileges, that is, they still have some loyalty to Brazil, but for others...whether it is the Brazilian Empire or the Ming Empire, they are nothing more than rulers.

For those "New Brazilians", the demise of the Brazilian Empire has little impact on them. All they need is to follow the trend and change from "New Brazilians" to "New Daming People"!
Of course, for them, this kind of adaptation is always a little bit unwilling, because the ruling empire is neither white nor aboriginal, but established by the Chinese.But fortunately, some things just need to get used to it.

In fact, there is nothing bad about this. You must know that there have been several Indian presidents in Mexican history.Now for these Europeans, they just need a little time to get used to it.

In the past few years, with the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, the twelve northern provinces have undergone earth-shaking changes—tens of thousands of kilometers of newly built railways have connected the inland with the coast, and connected the north with the south. .

A large piece of land was allocated to the Chinese to become pastures or farms. Millions of Chinese have poured into this land, and they have deeply influenced this place in all aspects.

"Captain Temple tied the knot with Miss Eliza Rodriguez..."

The news in the newspaper complicates the mood of the people in the coffee shop. As we all know, the Rodriguez ranch is the largest ranch in the area, and now the only heiress of this ranch is married to a Chinese military officer. My heart can not be sour.Of course it's more jealousy.

"What a bunch of shameless whores, those women always like to marry Chinese Americans! When they see Chinese men, they want to take off their skirts and rush to the beds of those Chinese men..."

When the men in the coffee shop were talking about those women, their words were sour.

In almost any place, you can see European women wearing colorful dresses and holding Chinese men on their arms. Those women prefer to fall into the arms of Chinese men because they are rich!

Chinese Americans are generally very rich!
In fact, not all Chinese Americans are rich, but generally rich. Even the most ordinary Chinese have a piece of land or a stable life-long employment job. In contrast, most ordinary Europeans either have only a small piece of land, or no permanent job.

Marry a Han, marry a Han, dress and eat.

No matter in any era, people are always realistic, and women are naturally more realistic.For many women, throwing themselves into their arms is just for life.

Ordinary women do it for life, even rich ladies like Eliza do the same for life. Through marriage, they integrate themselves with the empire. They are no longer cooperating in the occupied areas, but citizens of the new territories of the empire.

"Haha, Chinese? Don't talk about Chinese, even the aborigines are proud of themselves. They try their best to imitate Chinese. They wear South China-style clothes and shaved South China-style short hair..."

"But those aborigines will never be able to speak Chinese fluently."

"But, this does not prevent them from being very similar to Chinese Americans in appearance, many people can't tell them apart at all!"

It is simply indistinguishable. There are hundreds of thousands of indigenous people living on the Maso Grosso plateau. In the past, they worked as sharecroppers on pastures or farms for generations, but now?

Although they still live the same life as in the past, this does not prevent them from imitating Chinese, especially many young people. They have abandoned their Portuguese-style names and replaced them with Chinese-style names. They speak poor Chinese, It seems that in this way they become Chinese.

In fact, this kind of thing is very normal. From Chile to Argentina, those Mapuche and Patagonian people will take the initiative to integrate into Ming Dynasty, and change their own destiny by learning Chinese and changing their Chinese surnames.The reason for this is that in the cities of Ming Dynasty, after such a change, they will not be discriminated against because of their skin color.

……

In the face of change, those who only complain will eventually be eliminated by the times, but those who adapt to the changes will survive in this era.

Although he only learned less than a thousand Chinese characters, while waiting for the interview at the occupation registration office, Bailey picked up the newspaper on the side and read it. The newspaper was in Chinese—all Portuguese newspapers, as early as four years ago It was shut down, and newspaper offices without news licenses were banned according to law.

There is only one language in the empire—Chinese. Although Bailey's mother was a black slave and his father was an ordinary white farmer, when the official promotion of Chinese began, he still entered the school to learn Chinese.In his view, this is his only chance to change his destiny.

Like everyone else, he has been applying for a work permit. He doesn't care much about the Brazilian Empire or the Ming Empire. He needs a job, and he wants to live like a Ming Dynasty.

"If you don't have a work permit, there are some day laborers on here who can do it."

Bailey said to himself that without a work permit, there is no permanent job, but there are many job advertisements for short-term workers in the newspapers.

Just as he was looking at the job advertisement in the newspaper, his number was called over there.asked the interviewer as he entered the office and bowed.

"I noticed you were reading the newspaper just now? Do you know Chinese characters?"

"Yes, sir, I have attended night school, and this is my Chinese evening school certificate."

The interviewer took the certificate of completion, then looked at the other party, took out a registration form and said.

"You fill out this registration form,"

The registration form is in Chinese characters, and of course it can only be filled in Chinese characters. This is also part of the interview.

Soon, Bailey filled out the registration form, and the interviewer checked it. Although the handwriting was really ugly, there were no mistakes. He nodded and said.

"Very well, Mr. Bailey, because there are few local job opportunities, is a work permit from other places acceptable? The Northwest Mining Company has a job, which should suit you well."

Hearing this, Bailey said excitedly.

"Thank you sir, thank you..."

The most important thing is work. For many ordinary people, a work permit and a long-term job are definitely a chance to change their destiny... Of course it is full of temptation!
