Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

"This is my boss, Mr. Sun."

"Hello, Mr. Sun. I am Song Yuwen, and I am temporarily serving as the chairman of the Donghua National Preparatory Committee. On behalf of all the Chinese people in Donghua, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your support over the years."

"Mr. Song, you are too modest. What I have done is just a small effort. The current situation is mainly due to your own efforts. Now that the Donghua Federation is about to be established, I believe that this place will definitely become an important settlement for Chinese in America in the future. I sincerely hope that Donghua will develop better and better under your management."

Sun Tong had just arrived in Jamaica and he didn't expect that the Chinese here would make such a big fuss. Even the warships that Sun Tong had just given them were used by these people for escort.

This scene was no different from welcoming the head of state of a country. Anyway, it was the first time that Sun Tong enjoyed such treatment.

"We have prepared a welcome banquet for Mr. Sun. Please move over, Mr. Sun, please!"

"Everyone, please!"

After four years of unremitting construction, Jamaica has long since gotten rid of its previous dirty and messy appearance and has begun to take on the appearance of a modern city.

The convoy was traveling on the street, and pedestrians could be seen coming and going everywhere.

Kingston, now renamed New Lan, has a population of about 1.1 million, accounting for one-third of the total population of the East China Federation.

As the future capital of the East China Federation Republic, Xinlan has an area of ​​only 95 square kilometers, which is really small for a city with a population of over one million. However, its current state is the result of the National Preparatory Committee's replanning of Xinlan's land. Before the name change, Kingston was even smaller, only 30 square kilometers. It is hard to imagine how such a small area can accommodate so many people.

Although the land here is small, the scenery is quite good. Coupled with the original colonial buildings here, driving in this small town is still quite a feeling.

The reason why the soon-to-be-established East China Federal Republic will become a federal state is mainly because the Chinese groups that make up this country come from different regions of the Americas.

Among them, the Cuban Chinese are the group that contributed the most to the founding of the country. Although there are only tens of thousands of Cuban Chinese, because the founding of the country was initiated by them, the Cuban Chinese naturally have the highest voice in this new country.

Following the Cuban Chinese is the Central American Chinese community, which has a population of nearly 80, accounting for a quarter of the total population of the East China Federation. The two groups mentioned above have a small population share and have always maintained good relations in the past, so they will become natural allies in the future federal parliament.

Finally, there is the South American Chinese community. This group has a population of nearly 210 million and is the main population component of the East China Federation. Since South American Chinese also deal with a lot of nation-building issues, they also have a lot of votes in the Federal Parliament. The only variable is that there are also many small groups within the South American Chinese community.

After all, Chinese in South America is just a general term. They also come from different countries in South America. There have even been conflicts between some small groups in the past. These things will also become unstable factors for this group.

Sun Tong wanted to laugh when he thought about how such a small country like Donghua could produce so many political groups. The future development of this country was the kind that one could foresee at a glance. He didn't know what those people were trying to achieve by doing this now.

But these have nothing to do with him, he just needs to treat them as a joke. What he wants to discuss with Donghua now is the ownership of the sixteen small islands around Jamaica.

To be honest, Sun Tong didn't expect that Carl would have kept this trick when he sold the island.

These sixteen islands were given for free by the Ying people. Except for two islands that have development potential and can be built into holiday islands in the future, the other fourteen, regardless of their size, do not even have fresh water resources and are not suitable for human habitation at all. Therefore, Sun Tong did not care about these islands from the beginning.

But then again, Sun Tong may not care about these islands, but the Donghua government cannot. You must know that the farthest of these islands is 700 nautical miles away from Jamaica. If the Donghua government can successfully get these small islands from Sun Tong, it means that the waters belonging to the Donghua Federation will greatly expand outward, which will be of great benefit to the future development of the Donghua Federation.

After negotiations, Sun Tong finally gave fourteen of the sixteen islands to the Donghua Federation. As for the remaining two islands with development potential, Sun Tong decided to keep them for the time being. Maybe one day he would get the inspiration to build a resort island here!
