America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 151 The Gap, the Rim of the Pacific Alliance

"Let's not even talk about the distance."

"I'll just ask you one question: which white people from which country would still want to come to this godforsaken place?"

"Any country in continental Europe, if it puts in a little effort, would be better off than living here."

"Even if we can't survive in America, we still have relief. It's better than suffering here."

"Even if they are willing to endure hardship, even if they want to leave, there are many places in our British Empire or other colonies that are much better than Australia."

"In many places, people who come here are given land, money, and houses."

"I just want to ask, in this situation, where do I go to bring the person here?"

"The three times compensation you offer me is not enough to cover the value of this land."

Even if you give me ten times the amount, it will only barely make up for the previous losses.

"Then I'd like to ask, why should I accept your conditions?"

The other party also seemed a little embarrassed.

"Then we'll do as you say, give you ten times the amount, so you won't lose anything, right?"

Li Changsheng's clone shook his head directly.

"You're right, even at ten times the price, I wouldn't lose anything, but why should I agree?"

"As long as I bring these 5 people to the valley, they can bring me a continuous stream of profits. I can earn back the money I invested in less than a year, and then I can earn more money every year after that."

"I have a chance to make money, but I'm giving up an opportunity that's already in my grasp. Do you think I'm stupid?"

This time, the other party was truly at a loss.

The other party reconsidered with their superiors before speaking.

"Tell me your requirements. As long as they're not too difficult, I can agree to them."

Li Changsheng's clone then smiled and spoke.

"If I had used 5 slaves, the land I bought could have been fully developed in one or two years."

"But if it were other types of laborers, I'm afraid even 10 people couldn't do it."

"And I don't have the capacity to support 10 people."

"If you insist on having my 5 men, it's not impossible."

"But forget about the conditions you mentioned before."

"I must ensure that the benefits I am entitled to are not compromised."

"To avoid any accidents."

"I need your permission to build a railway from the valley to the coastal city."

"And this railway should belong to me."

"It makes it convenient for me to buy, sell, and transport various daily necessities."

"At the same time, since you took my people away, you must return the people who are able to develop the valley."

"These people are the ones I painstakingly recruited. You must return a batch to me in the shortest possible time, people who can completely develop the valley within a year."

"I don't care if you're looking for white people, black people, or Asian people, I only want one result: the person who can develop the valley within a year must be able to arrive within a month."

"Otherwise, I can't cooperate with you."

"Moreover, these 5 people have to complete my development tasks within three months. Only after you send them over can I replace them."

"Oh, and one more thing, if you're hiring white people, then I should make it clear that the salary I'll offer is only the minimum wage."

"At the same time, I cannot meet the other conditions either."

"Add to that the work ethic and related restrictions imposed on white people, and if you want to keep my 5 people, you'll have to bring me 25..."

Ten thousand white people.

"If they are all Black people, I won't even mention Black slaves, 5 would be enough. But if they are other Black people, you should prepare at least 15 to 20 for me."

"If it's an Asian, that's easy to talk about. If you agree to let an Asian work for me, we can contact the immigration office on the Asian side."

"I only need 10 people of Asian descent to achieve the same effect."

"You can discuss it now. Just come find me after you've made up your mind."

Li Changsheng had calculated that they wanted these 50,000 men, since they also wanted to use them to launch a counterattack against New Guinea.

Li Changsheng wanted to take this opportunity to transport more people of Asian descent to Australia.

And this is just the beginning.

He already has other plans in the works.

Sure enough, not long after, Australia agreed to Li Changsheng's request for a clone.

Moreover, in order to save costs, they agreed to send 10 people of Asian descent.

When Li Changsheng heard that they were going to send people of Asian descent, he discussed with them how to bring them over more cost-effectively.

The people in Australia were amazed to hear that the Qing Dynasty's immigration bureau had such a way to make money.

However, they are naturally willing to save money if it can.

They even told the other two farmers the same thing when they found them later.

As a result, these 15 people became 30 people of Asian descent.

However, these 30 people of Asian descent still needed to contact the Qing Dynasty's Immigration Bureau to request the transfer of personnel.

The immigration bureau is a seasoned pro at this kind of thing. So what if it's 30 people? They don't have much else, just a lot of people.

Furthermore, there are many teams cooperating with the immigration bureau. Once both parties agree, half of the payment is transferred through Global Patent Group, and the immigration bureau immediately arranges for a team to transport the relevant personnel.

Li Changsheng smiled after hearing the news.

"I told you, Australia isn't without its flaws."

"Since they're still thinking about Neo-Gilia, then they need more people to carry out the next step of their plan."

Li Changsheng's next plan is actually quite simple.

The Far East now has several protectorates and colonies.

Moreover, because all these places are under the control of Li Changsheng's clone, the development speed is very fast.

People were constantly being transported from the Far East to various islands and protectorate colonies.

At the same time, the establishment of one fleet after another gave them absolute power, so they were not worried about others attacking them.

In this situation, Li Changsheng had his clone, General Dongyuan, establish the Rim of the Pacific Alliance.

Li Changsheng instructed his clone to include colonies, protectorates, and other entities as part of the Rim of the Pacific Alliance.

This would be more convenient for the general to manage, so the general agreed immediately.

Immediately after the formation of the Rim of the Pacific Alliance, they established the 36th Pacific Fleet.

Of course, half of these fleets are only capable of operating in coastal waters.

It's just something I say to intimidate people.

However, when this number was revealed, it did indeed shock many people.

Not long after the establishment of the Pacific Rim Alliance, its affiliates, which had already infiltrated other islands in the Pacific, submitted applications to the Pacific Rim Alliance on behalf of their respective island and archipelago nations, requesting to join the alliance.

Li Changsheng immediately sent his clone to lead the fleet to make contact with these island and archipelago nations.

In addition to developing and expanding the Pacific Rim Alliance, it is also necessary to transport some unruly and disobedient people to Australia.

This was Li Changsheng's plan.
