America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 150, Part 9: The Mute of New Guinea

Li Changsheng not only arranged for the Far East fleet to go there, but also had the Qing Empire receive immigrants. Including the immigration bureau, a total of 30 people were immigrated, and another 20 people were immigrated from Annam.

In total, more than 50 people were sent directly to New Guinea.

When the British fleet arrived, they saw New Guinea in a flurry of activity.

All ports are receiving immigrants.

When they stopped the fleet and went aboard to inquire, they were completely dumbfounded.

"New Guinea has become a protectorate in the Far East? And New Guinea has even established its own country?"

They simply couldn't believe it.

But after visiting around, it was finally confirmed!

They were right.

Has New Guinea really become a nation?

Moreover, not long after its founding, it completely aligned itself with the Far East and became a protectorate of the Far East.

Now, hundreds of thousands of immigrants are being sent from the Far East in preparation for New Guinea's rapid industrialization.

The Sydney Navy also wanted to take action, but upon seeing the latest weapons in the hands of the enemy soldiers, they gave up immediately.

Even if they manage to get ashore, they still won't be able to defeat these weapons.

Even if the weapons are similar, the other side has more people.

Moreover, since the Far East has already turned it into a protectorate, the Far East fleet must be nearby. If the Far East fleet takes action, their fleet may not be able to survive.

In the end, they had no choice but to return home in frustration.

The slave owners on those slave ships who were tricked into coming here suffered greatly.

Just like in the Zorro Islands, all of the hundreds of slave ships were confiscated.

One or two thousand slaves all became mine slaves.

New Guinea also took the opportunity to establish three fleets.

Although these fleets were not very strong, they didn't even have a single ironclad warship; they were all sailing ships.

However, with more sailboats, they still possess a certain fighting power in coastal areas.

At least in this area, it's practically invincible.

With several fleets, they can be safe, whether in the Solomon Islands or near New Guinea.

Moreover, New Guinea originally had a population of over 700,000, but more than 100,000 were evacuated, and some were killed, so now only 500,000 people remain. With immigrants, the population exceeds one million.

After conversion, these people will quickly develop into fighting forces and rapidly develop New Guinea.

By then, it won't be easy for any country to take action against New Guinea.

Of course, while developing New Guinea, Li Changsheng did not forget the 150,000 New Guineans.

These people were sent directly to Australia by the two Solomon fleets.

Meanwhile, in Australia, Li Changsheng's clone was ready to accept the situation.

15 people were transported to three different locations.

These are Swan Valley, Barossa Valley, and Hunter Valley, all three of which are vineyards invested and established by Li Changsheng.

In the past few years, Li Changsheng's clones in Australia have been running companies such as the Global Patent Group, a telephone company, a bicycle company, and a steel company. They also have several clones that have grown by fishing with explosives along the coast.

After acquiring enough money, these clones wanted to buy land in Australia and start farming.

However, a problem arose in Australia: even if you had the money, you couldn't buy it.

To purchase these lands, you must have sufficient personnel to develop them. If the lands cannot be developed within three years, they will be reclaimed.

Therefore, Li Changsheng's clone accepted these 15 people in order to purchase a large amount of land to develop grape cultivation and wine production.

And those who manage these 15 people are the personnel of their fleet.

There were white and yellow people inside. After receiving these 15 people, Li Changsheng purchased a large amount of land in the three valleys for development.

In a very short period of time, the three of them became Australia's largest farmers.

At the same time, they are not worried about feeding these 15 people.

After all, they had their own fleet of ships that could catch large quantities of fish, using the money earned to buy food and other necessities to sustain themselves.

The goal was to ensure the survival of 10,000 people, and then have these 150,000 people begin to cultivate the land, plant grapes and other cash crops, and build houses.

The plan to create three clones was a good one, but the authorities found out about it not long after the 15 people were transported to Australia.

When the Australians learned that these 15 people were from the defeated side in New Guinea, they began to have designs on them.

"New Guinea has now become a nation, and the best way for us to take it back is for someone to rebel and for the country to have a new master."

"If we installed the new king of New Guinea, wouldn't New Guinea become our protectorate?"

"Therefore, I suggest that we incorporate these 15 people into our ranks, train their leaders, and then let them select soldiers and intelligence agents from among them to infiltrate New Guinea. When the time is right, we should let them lead a rebellion to support the current king, and then New Guinea will become our colony again."

The proposal was quickly approved, and when Li Changsheng's clone led his men to the three valleys he had purchased, they were stopped.

When the Australian manager asked him to sell the 15 people to them, the clones all refused.

"This joke isn't funny at all."

"I bought so many slaves—no, no, I bought so many laborers—in order to develop the land. After buying them, I purchased a large amount of land to prepare for planting."

"Now that you've bought the people, I'll be without my own people to do the farming, and the plantations I bought at a high price will be taken back."

"Then wouldn't I be left with nothing?"

"I don't care about these people, I have to take them with me, I need them to develop plantations for me."

What Li Changsheng's clone said makes a lot of sense.

After all, they understand their own national policies.

In this situation, buying away the laborers that people have worked so hard to acquire is no different from taking their lives.

They quickly called their superiors to discuss the matter and came up with a new plan.

"We must take these people with us today."

"However, you will definitely receive the full compensation you are entitled to."

"You'll get three times the money you invest in these people."

"It also allows you to hire white workers from Europe, America, or other countries."

"And we'll give you a one-year grace period, which means you have four years to renovate these lands."

The plan sounded good, but Li Changsheng's clone rejected it without hesitation.

"Can you please stop treating me like an idiot?"

"Tell me how many white laborers I'm going to hire for this land I've bought, and where am I going to find so many?"
