America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 149, Part 8: Solomon

The First Fleet sailed eastward along Indonesia, first arriving in New Guinea.

Taking advantage of the fact that New Guinea had not yet been colonized by any country and that only a few merchants were trading there, the First Fleet immediately deployed 300 soldiers and 600 civilians. With the help of the New Guinean divine messenger's avatar, they quickly integrated into the people of New Guinea.

This marked the first step in the colonization of New Guinea.

However, it will take a long time to completely colonize New Guinea, as there is still a shortage of manpower.

Therefore, the First Fleet did not stop, but headed towards the Solomon Islands.

According to the message from the clone, the Roman Islands are not currently occupied by any country.

Many countries have regarded the Solomon Islands as a plundering ground for slaves.

They arrived in the Solomon Islands only to plunder the islanders and sell them to other countries.

Because European countries have not yet discovered the value of the Solomon Islands, no one has occupied them.

This gave the First Fleet an opportunity.

In particular, on the Solomon Islands, there are three clones of Li Changsheng who have unified most of the population of the Solomon Islands.

After the arrival of the First Fleet, it worked directly with the three clones to unify the Solomon Islands into a new country.

The three figures are: one is the king, one is the general, and one is the prime minister.

At the same time, they directly declared themselves protectors of the Far East.

Furthermore, the Qing Dynasty's immigration bureau is also on its way with a new batch of 10 immigrants.

Meanwhile, the newly established Seventh Fleet in the Far East, along with a large number of skilled workers, was heading towards the Solomon Islands.

It would take several months for these people to come over.

Therefore, the First Fleet remained near the Solomon Islands.

Within a month, eight slave ships were discovered, and the First Fleet naturally did not hesitate to capture them all.

All the crew members were taken to mine, and the ships were left behind to form the First Solomon Fleet.

And the size of this fleet continues to grow.

Every slave ship that arrived ended up becoming a mining slave.

When the British Imperial Fleet arrived in the Solomon Islands and collided with the First Fleet of the Far East, the British people realized that the Solomon Islands had become a protectorate of the Far East.

Even more outrageous, Solomon had actually established a nation!

This was a place that the British Empire had high hopes for, and they had originally planned to proceed slowly, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

They also wanted to take back Solomon at all costs, but after seeing the First Fleet, they backed down.

The strength of the First Fleet of the Far East is obvious to all. Even the main fleet of the British Empire may not be able to defeat a single patrol fleet of theirs. How could they possibly defeat it?

If they really take action, they'll probably all be wiped out.

With no other option, the patrol fleet had to leave and head towards the nearest port in order to send the message back to the British Empire.

However, before they could even relay the news, 10 immigrants from the Qing Empire had already arrived in the Solomon Islands.

The second batch is also on its way.

Meanwhile, in order to better develop Jiaozhi, the Jiaozhi First Fleet also sent more than 100,000 Jiaozhi refugees who could not survive to the Solomon Islands.

By the time the British Empire received the news, there were already more than 300,000 immigrants and more than 100,000 natives on the Solomon Islands, totaling nearly 500,000 people.

Li Changsheng used five clones to control these immigrants and cooperated with his original three clones to completely control the Solomon Islands.

During this process, the number of slave ships in the Solomon Islands increased from eight to 39.

This directly led to the formation of two fleets in the Solomon Islands.

Meanwhile, the news finally spread, and no one dared to go to the Solomon Islands to capture slaves anymore.

When the British Royal Navy's Australian fleet arrived in the Solomon Islands, they found a fleet similar to their own, as well as two new fleets composed of merchant ships equipped with cannons and soldiers.

Even if these two fleets are inferior to them, they would still be at a disadvantage in a real battle.

When they saw that several ports in the Solomon Islands were under construction, shipyards were appearing, and large numbers of people were coming and going, they finally realized that the Solomon Islands, the place they had been planning for so long, had become a protectorate in the Far East.

The fleet requested to dock at the port, and after disembarking, it was confirmed that there were already a large number of Chinese immigrants in the Solomon Islands, and that the islands were under the complete protection of the Far East. After that, the news could only be sent back to China.

The message was received by the Sydney Navy in Australia on the British side.

The admiral stated directly after confirming that the number of immigrants in the Solomon Islands had exceeded two to three hundred thousand.

"The Far East is quite powerful, and with so many immigrants already there, plus the presence of the Far East fleet, we have completely lost control of the Solomon Islands."

"Stop worrying about the Solomon Islands. Now, the most important thing for us is to prevent the Far East from reaching the lands we have already occupied and our protectorates."

As he spoke, he opened a map and pointed to the New Guinea region on it.

"Originally, we would have waited a few more years before colonizing New Guinea, but now it seems we can't wait any longer."

"The Far East has already completed the colonization of the southeastern peninsula, plus the colonization of the Ryukyu Islands and the Solomon Islands, so they will definitely not give up New Guinea."

"Let our fleet go directly to New Guinea, sign a treaty with the black people of New Guinea, and bring New Guinea under the protection of my British Empire."

"At the same time, send out the message to stop those slave ships from eyeing the Solomon Islands."

"Let them plunder as many people as possible from New Guinea before we arrive."

"The more we plunder, the better for us."

The naval general could not have imagined that his orders would soon be taken over by Li Changsheng's clone.

Li Changsheng received the message immediately and relayed it to his clones in the Far East and New Guinea.

Faced with this situation, only one fleet remained in the Far East, while the rest of the fleet set off as a whole, leading a large number of educators and infrastructure construction personnel.

Along the way, they also picked up many immigrants from the Qing Empire.

The fleet sailed south, heading straight for New Guinea.

Meanwhile, within New Guinea, Li Changsheng's divine messenger avatars began uniting various tribes to prepare for the establishment of a nation.

Of course, there were many who did not obey, so the internal war in New Guinea started first.

Those who disobeyed were not killed as before; they were all captured by the clones.

The clone then handed over all of these captured individuals to Solomon's two transport fleets.

"Sending these 15 New Guineans to Australia would be quite an interesting experience for those white people."
