America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 108 The First Episode of Far East Colonization: The General's Worries

As the Far East General's strategist, Bickley did not control the Far East General's army, but he controlled the only intelligence department under the General's command.

This intelligence agency is known as the Far East Intelligence Bureau.

In fact, both the Far East Intelligence Bureau and the Daqing Intelligence Bureau were under the control of Li Changsheng's clones.

Besides the two main controllers, Bickley and Daoxuan, the intelligence bureau also has its own deputies, who are also Li Changsheng's alter egos.

Therefore, the two intelligence agencies shared intelligence.

Because of the sharing of intelligence, the manpower and financial resources required by both sides were reduced by more than half.

However, neither the Far East General nor Empress Dowager Cixi were aware of the reduction in their manpower and financial resources.

Therefore, Daoxuan and Biklee both received more than double the normal amount of funding.

This is also why they both became wealthy.

Let's not talk about how they each acquired their own businesses.

It is said that after receiving Li Changsheng's order, Bickley prepared for a few days and then went directly to the Far East General.

These past few years have been unprecedentedly comfortable for the Far East General.

A few years ago, he was just an ordinary Far East general, in charge of a few thousand people, waiting in this icy and snowy land for the day he would be transferred back to his homeland.

However, in just a few years, he has become the true ruler of the Far East.

He enjoys fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women every day.

He arranged for all his family members to go to Europe and America, where they lived a wealthy life thanks to the money he gave them.

At the same time, he also arranged for several trusted confidants to manage the businesses in Europe and America, ensuring that his family had no shortage of food, drink, or money.

It can be said that he made good arrangements for his family and enjoyed himself for several years.

Originally, his plan was to flee once the Far East was destroyed, but as he gained power over the past few years, he became increasingly greedy for power and less willing to let go.

He understands that the Far East is developing very rapidly, but no matter how fast it develops, it is not completely under his control.

None of his subordinates were truly loyal to him; they were merely checking and balancing each other, with him at the very top.

Whenever he thinks about this, he worries that these people will overthrow him!

Even if these people themselves are incapable, Alexander II of Russia will probably take action.

If Alexander II were to bribe a few officials and win over others, he might actually overthrow Alexander II, and then it would be too late for him to regret it.

He wanted to maintain control for a longer period of time in order to secure more benefits for his family.

He wanted to control the Far East for a longer period of time, driven by his lust for power.

Whose men are these lately? These people in charge have been growing in power and influence. He realized that while the Far East seemed to be thriving, he actually controlled very little of it.

The train was divided up among the people below, and he only received a small portion of the money.

Tourism was also divided up, factories were divided up, and mineral resources were divided up.

Even the land and seas were divided up, and he was only able to collect a symbolic amount of tax, plus the spoils of his own men.

If this continues, what if these people become dissatisfied with the status quo and eventually overthrow themselves?

He'd been so worried lately that he couldn't sleep. When he saw Bickley arrive, he sighed.

"Biklee, you've come."

"Yes, General, I've arrived."

"What are your thoughts on what I told you before?"

"General, I've come here today because I have a somewhat immature idea in mind that I'd like to discuss with you. If you think it's feasible, then we can proceed. If you don't think it's feasible, then I'll think about it some more."

The Far East General was overjoyed.

Bickley has never let himself down.

He realized that his rise to become the Far East General and control over so much land and population was all thanks to Bickley's scheme.

Now that Bickley has said there is a method, then there must be a method.

"Tell me quickly, what method?"

"I bowed and said," Bickley said.

"General, the problem you're worried about is nothing more than that our Far East capitalists, just like those in Europe and America, will continue to grow and eventually become dissatisfied with the status quo, overthrow you, and then you will lose everything."

"Since they pose a threat to your rule, let's find a way to eliminate those threats."

"Once the threat is eliminated, won't your position be secure?"

The Far East General sighed and said.

"You're right. Once the threat is eliminated, my position will be secure and I'll be safe. But the real challenge is how to eliminate the threat."

"They now control everything in their respective regions, only paying me a small amount of tax."

"Although they still obey my leadership, they are essentially a state within a state."

"I can only say that I am the leader of a multinational alliance."

"Who knows, maybe one day some person in charge will become powerful and try to take my position."

"Biklee said with a smile."

"General, your concerns are valid."

"However, if your presence is crucial to their interests, and their interests are guaranteed as long as you remain in this position, do you think you can still hold onto that position?"

The general's eyes lit up.

If he can really do that, his position will be absolutely secure.

He looked at Bickley eagerly.

"You have a new plan, tell me about it quickly."

"Biklee said smugly."

"As I said, as long as their interests are tied to the general, they will not choose to oust the general, but will instead protect your position."

"So if you want to secure the general's position, you just need to tie their interests to yours."

"As long as they can guarantee that you will gain more while you are in this position, they will definitely support you, or at least most people will support you. In this way, your position will be secure."

The general said somewhat anxiously.

"I just want to know the principle, but how do I do it? Since you have a method, please tell me quickly."

"Rest assured, as long as your method is effective, this general will not be stingy with rewards."

Having laid enough groundwork, Bickley naturally wouldn't waste any more words.

Wasn't his main purpose in coming here today to get the general to agree to his plan?

Once the general agrees to his plan, the Far East colonization program can officially begin.

If the Far East colonization plan succeeds, they will no longer be just warlords in the Far East, but will become warlords of the world's most powerful nation.

When they combine their powers, they become the strongest fighting force on Earth.

Having thought of this, the clone no longer hesitated and directly said what it had already thought of.
