America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 121 Far East Colonization Part 7: Ready

On this day, the Chinese American Daily and even the Chinese American Weekly published a news story that shocked the world.

This has attracted worldwide attention.

[A new collaboration can be reached between Outer Northeast China and Corpse Looting.]

Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that, in fact, Outer Manchuria has gained greater sovereignty.

At first, some people even mocked Alexander II when they saw this news.

After all, this indirectly proves Alexander II's incompetence, as he couldn't even control the Outer Northeast.

This was the result of many years of hard work by the Corpse Looter, but it was directly controlled by the General of the Outer Northeast and intercepted by him.

Moreover, the people in the Outer Northeast are all of East Asian descent, and they are different from the people in China.

In the future, although the "corpse-touching" and "outer Northeast" areas will be subject to new policies, they will be two different entities.

It's like all those years of hard work on looting corpses have been wasted, and all the benefits have gone to someone else.

The very next day, as they mocked Alexander II, a new piece of news appeared simultaneously in the Chinese American Daily and many other newspapers!

The Treaty of the Eastern Qing Dynasty was signed between Outer Northeast China and the Qing Empire. The treaty stipulated that Outer Northeast China and the Qing Empire would be bounded by the border between Inner and Outer Northeast China, and that Outer Northeast China would never be invaded. At the same time, the Qing Empire recognized Outer Northeast China as a branch of the Han Chinese civilization, granting it the right to maintain the stability of its vassal states and, if necessary, to help defend against external threats.

When people saw this newspaper, many were still mocking Alexander II.

The Outer Northeast had just implemented this method when it quickly became a branch of China.

But Alexander II's eyes lit up when he saw these people mocking him.

"General of Outer Northeast, General of Outer Northeast."

"I really want to know who your strategists are."

"How could someone come up with such an idea!"

"If you can carry out this method of looting corpses, it's equivalent to you becoming independent. After becoming independent, your existence will be a huge threat to the Qing Empire."

"If I'm not mistaken, you're offering non-aggression pacts with the Qing Empire in exchange for its support in colonizing Ryukyu and other Qing vassal states, right?"

"Wow, that's brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

"With this pretext, if you truly colonize Ryukyu in Outer Manchuria, then Britain, France, and other countries will have no reason to intervene."

"Therefore, they can only support Xiao Rixing from behind. As long as Xiao Rixing is completely defeated, Liuqiu will become a colony of Outer Northeast China."

"Once we have taken the first step to success, we will have a firm foothold in Outer Northeast China. It will then be much easier to colonize other vassal states of the Qing Empire."

Alexander II looked at the map in front of him, finally fixing his gaze on the Indochina Peninsula, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Britain, France, and Germany are the biggest threats to me."

"And now, the Indochina Peninsula is the key to their competition."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this entire region will be colonized by them. However, once they take over Liuzhou in Outer Northeast China, they can then move south and occupy a part of the Indochina Peninsula."

"Moreover, they went to colonize under the guise of a superior country and helped these small countries under the pretense of protection."

"It can be said that Outer Northeast will inevitably succeed."

"The success of Outer Northeast will halt the colonial path of countries such as Britain and France. While they will need to devote more energy to Southeast Asia, they will also reduce their interests in Southeast Asia."

"This is a good thing for me too."

"I can make up for the loss of Outer Northeast in other ways."

"However, since the people under the General of the Outer Northeast have planned so deeply, it can't be just this step."

""

"I'm actually looking forward to seeing what other moves the Outer Northeast will make next."

Compared to Alexander II's expectations, others were simply watching the spectacle with amusement.

However, what happened next dazzled people all over the world.

Things really happened too fast.

Because on the third day, the Little Days World newspaper published the latest prediction of the Five Ones.

As someone from the Little Life Empire, I must mention its ambitions. Having just completed the Meiji Restoration, Little Life has already set its sights on Ryukyu, making it a unit within the empire and planning to completely integrate it into Little Life within five or six years.

After capturing Ryukyu, the next target was the Qing Empire's overseas island of Tainan.

After taking down the high-ranking official, the next targets are the Philippines, Borneo, Java, and even Australia.

I have to say, I'm quite impressed by the ambition of this humble lifestyle!

I haven't seen whether the other plans succeeded or not, but in the future I envision, the Ryukyu Islands definitely no longer exist.

[I'm making this prediction for no other reason than that His Majesty the Emperor is always trying to arrest and hang me, so I want to cause him some trouble.]

[I imagine His Majesty the Emperor and Empress Dowager of the Great Qing Empire have seen this newspaper, haven't they? Your vassal states are about to be occupied and seized by these scoundrels; it's time for you to act.]

Even if you can't take action yourself, you can have the Outer Northeast take action.

As a superior nation, even if you colonized the Ryukyu Islands, at least you ensured the existence of the Ryukyu Kingdom!

[Never follow the example of those who live a petty life and completely seize the Liuzhou Islands, causing them to disappear and become dust in history.]

[Oh, and there's also Tainan Island. That's your Qing Empire's territory! They dare to have designs on our lives, how can you let them get away with it!]

[I'll also remind those organizations behind "Little Life" in the future: "Little Life" has huge ambitions; they've even set their sights on your colonies.]

Don't wait until others have grown strong and prosperous, then turn around and seize all your colonies.

There's an old Chinese saying, "Raising a tiger will bring trouble," you should probably take a look.

It can be said that the prophecy of Five Ones made many people around the world aware of the existence of the country of Little Days, and even more so of the ambitions of the Little Days Empire.

Many people also sensed that something was wrong and that something big was about to happen.

Others might react a little slower, but the Little Life Empire reacted very quickly.

The Emperor was so angry that he beat up the person who delivered the message before speaking to the Prime Minister.

"Why haven't you caught those five little chickens yet, after all this time?"

"Look what he's done!"

"His prediction has rendered all our long-term plans futile."

"Given the current situation, if we dare to attack Liuqiu, it will definitely bring us a huge blow."

Instead of answering the Emperor's question, the Prime Minister spoke with even greater frustration.

"The issue now isn't whether or not we should take action against Liuqiu, but whether or not we can protect Liuqiu at all."
