America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

On that day, an Irishman named Garvin became famous in the Irish newspaper.

This Irishman named Jarvan clashed with Li Changsheng in the newspaper.

He claimed to be from Ireland and assured that the Irish had absolutely no intention of seeking independence in America.

To prove their innocence, he hoped that some Irish people would be willing to go to Alaska with him.

They, the Irish, also wanted to develop Alaska for America.

He even bought a large fishing boat, intending to start a fishing company in Alaska.

Although most Irish people were unwilling to go, some did find Garvin.

In just a few days, hundreds of people came to Alaska with Jarvan.

And among them are dozens of Irish clones arranged by Li Changsheng.

General Sherman further granted Jarvan and his men preferential policies, allowing them to purchase several thousand square kilometers of land to build a fish processing plant.

Jarvan and his clone's subsequent antics quickly made him famous.

Jarvan first contacted Nobel's company and secured the distribution rights for detonators and explosives in Alaska.

Later, he even used detonators to blast fish.

In a short period of time, he and his clones amassed a great deal of wealth.

Meanwhile, the Irish newspapers also extensively reported on his fishing ventures.

This attracted more Irish people to join Garvin and his team.

In a short period of time, these people also established their own factories in southern Alaska, and at the same time bought up almost all the remaining land on the North Slope.

Moreover, most of the land he purchased was similar to what Li Changsheng and the others had purchased; they were practically clustered together.

They bought up every place in southern Alaska that had any resources.

In this way, in addition to fishing, they also established timber processing plants, farms, and fish canneries in Alaska.

Under his leadership, a large number of Irish people gathered under his name.

They joined Jarvan's team and worked with him to make money by frying fish.

Their families were put to work at the factory.

This led to a period of prosperity in Alaska in a short time.

Li Changsheng's side was naturally not willing to fall behind.

After building the factory and moving people there, he also established his own fishing team in Alaska.

However, since Jarvan had already secured the agency rights for Alaska, Li Changsheng bought the agency rights for California.

As long as we can buy explosives, that's fine.

They also immediately assigned other agents to sell explosives in various states across the United States.

In a short period of time, the two major fishing companies in Alaska were established.

Moreover, they captured a large portion of the western American market at an extremely rapid pace.

There is even a trend of it spreading eastward.

Many people have naturally paid attention to the two rapidly rising fishing companies, Jiawen Fishing Company and Changsheng Fishing Company.

They didn't want to go to Alaska, but they still wanted to use explosives to fish. However, when they wanted to use explosives to fish, they found that the only way to buy explosives was to go to the agency of Li Changsheng's clone, which made Li Changsheng make another profit.

While Li Changsheng was making a fortune, the Alaskan Army commander was also overjoyed during this period.

He gained a lot of benefits from Li Changsheng and Jiawen, making his soldiers very rich.

Moreover, Li Changsheng and Jiawen have already cooperated with the Alaskan Army.

Therefore, the Army, as the de facto controller of Alaska, directly stated that if they wanted to fish in Alaska, they could only cooperate with Jarvan and Li Changsheng.

For a time, the fish and chips business in Alaska flourished.

Although some people in the United States also oppose this method of fishing and want to stop it from harming the environment.

However, General Sherman silenced them all with a single sentence.

"If you can offer the Alaskan Army better treatment, I'll make them stop. If not, then don't interfere with their ability to earn some extra money."

"And most importantly, Alaska's taxes increased 100 times in just a few months."

"There will be even more to come."

"At the same time, the population settling in Alaska is also rising rapidly."

"Isn't it worth trading two fish-fry companies for the development of Alaska?"

No one spoke up after that.

General Sherman was right in his last statement.

While using explosives to fish is not a good thing, if it can lead to the development of Alaska, it would definitely be a good thing for the United States.

The government increased taxes, and the army received additional revenue, so it no longer needed to take more money from the government.

It can also promote the development of a newly acquired territory; no matter how you look at it, it's a win.

It wasn't that no one had considered taking his place, but General Sherman's words silenced them all.

"You can replace the two of them, but you must guarantee that someone is willing to settle in Alaska."

"The Chinese and the Irish are currently locked in a power struggle."

"The Chinese build factories, and so do the Irish."

"The Irish settled down, and so did the Chinese."

"If they continue like this, it will accelerate Alaska's development, but if it were your people, would anyone still build factories in Alaska? Would anyone still settle in Alaska?"

"They went there, all they could do was fry the fish to death, and then they left with the fish."

"If you can guarantee that you will build a factory in Alaska and make a profit within ten years, while also bringing a large number of people to settle there every year, then I will agree to replace your people."

Everyone fell silent.

There's no way around it; aside from those crazy Chinese and Irish people, who would want to settle in that godforsaken place, Alaska?

However, as the fishing activities in Alaska grew larger, more and more people joined the ranks of Li Changsheng's other clones, and the fishing teams became increasingly larger.

The conflicts and friction between the teams are also increasing.

The Chinese fish-frying team, originally led by Li Changsheng, and the Irish fish-frying team, led by Jiawen, have both become the two major organizations in Alaska.

As they each made more and more money, disagreements arose within them, and friction continued between the two sides.

Before long, some people broke away on their own and started earning their own money.

Both Li Changsheng and Jiawen tried to persuade them to stay, but in the end, they were helpless and they all parted ways. In an instant, the Alaskan fish-frying teams went from two races to dozens of companies.

After the fleet split, Li Changsheng directly sold the fishing company's shares to other companies. Of course, he also sold the explosives agency business.

He's already made a good start; the rest can be left to his clone.

He just needs to manage his factories well; otherwise, it's inevitable that people will have more to say.
