America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Hearing the general ask this question, Bickley was even happier.

The plan was basically successful.

Li Changsheng had a new idea after he started blasting fish with explosives on the Japanese side.

The goal of reducing anti-Chinese sentiment in America and improving the lives of Chinese Americans has been achieved. The next step is to spread more Chinese people around the world.

Make Chinese a universal language.

This is definitely a big goal.

To achieve this goal, Li Changsheng's first choice was the Far East.

According to his memories from his previous life, there weren't many Han Chinese in the Far East before he transmigrated there.

Not just Han Chinese, but even other ethnic groups, the total number in the entire Far East region is only a few million.

Ultimately, it's because the Far East region is underdeveloped.

The Far East region was originally rich in resources, but it could not develop because it had no population from the beginning.

When other places had developed, he wanted to develop his own, but found that all the people had left.

Without people, it is even more difficult to develop.

This creates a vicious cycle.

But we are now at the end of the First Industrial Revolution and about to begin the Second Industrial Revolution.

If the Far East were developed at this time, it would definitely not be like the parallel world of my previous life.

As for why Li Changsheng didn't intend to let the general become independent, it's quite simple [censored]. If he became independent, he wouldn't be a separate country. What if the Japanese developed even faster? What if the Qing Empire didn't think things through?

Even if the Qing Empire was intelligent, who could guarantee that no one would try to take over the Far East if China fell into chaos in the future?

However, as long as the Far East remains under Russian control, China will not dare to make any moves.

At the same time, the Japanese and the Koreans should also think twice.

Of course, most importantly, this gives Li Changsheng the opportunity to create clones.

In the Far East, Changshengqiao's short-term control could only eliminate these Russians, but eliminating them required too much investment, not to mention facing the Russians' counterattack.

Moreover, after eliminating the Russians, the possibility of transferring population from China would be slim.

Perhaps the Qing Dynasty will see an opportunity and come back to reclaim the Far East.

If the Qing Dynasty truly had that capability, that would have been fine. Unfortunately, even if the Qing Dynasty had recovered the Far East, it wouldn't have mattered; it wouldn't have been long before the Russians snatched it away again.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Changsheng came up with this idea: to support the Far East remaining in Russia, but to establish the Far East Autonomous Region.

Now that a plan has been devised, it's impossible that even the biggest problem can't be solved.

"General, this matter is actually very simple for you."

Seeing the general's expectant look, Bickley continued.

"This matter is actually quite easy to understand, it's just that you've never thought about it this way before, General."

"To avoid causing trouble for the general, I will briefly explain to him."

"The most likely source of immigration for people in the Far East is from China."

"As for immigrating from Japan and South Korea, it's not that easy."

"For ordinary Chinese people, what they value most is nothing more than a piece of land."

"Once they have their own land, they will fully support the general."

"Because they all know that their land was given to them by the general, and if the general is gone, their land will be gone too."

"They will do anything to protect their land."

"This forms the basis of the soldiers under your command, General."

"In order to protect their land, they must do everything in their power to help the general defend the Far East."

"They also understand that only with you, General, will the Russians not launch a full-scale attack, but will instead maintain control of the Far East through a policy of appeasement."

"As foreigners, if they really occupy the Far East, the Russians, they will fight back at all costs to take back the territory."

"Therefore, for you, General, the best approach is to relocate more people of other races to the Far East."

"Not just Chinese people, you can even relocate some white people, black people, and even some people of other ethnicities."

"While using people of different ethnic groups to restrain each other, we can also use people of these ethnic groups to restrain the Russian bear."

"I may have spoken in a somewhat disorganized manner, but if you, General, have studied Chinese culture, you should know that there is a Chinese idiom called 'respecting the enemy and thus maintaining one's dignity.'"

Bickley had thought that after saying this, he would have to talk to the general about how to maintain one's own importance by supporting an enemy. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to understand perfectly and said...

"If you had said so earlier, wouldn't I have known already?"

"I haven't been idle in Vladivostok all these years; I've learned a lot about Chinese culture."

"I understand all too well this practice of harboring bandits to enhance one's own prestige."

"It's about raising a gang of thieves that only I can control, and who can also threaten the country, forcing the country to use us."

After he finished explaining, he stood up and said excitedly.

"To raise a bandit for one's own benefit, to raise a bandit for one's own benefit, what a fine saying about raising a bandit for one's own benefit!"

"For the country, people of other races are like this bandit, and I am the only general who can deal with these people."

"The stronger this bandit becomes, the stronger I will become."

"The country will also support me to prevent these bandits from seizing our territory."

"And these bandits, in order to live well, will also support me."

"Therefore, if I relocate more people of other races to the Far East and establish the Far East Autonomous Region, then the people back home will have no choice but to accept it."

"Give me some time, and I can use the resources of the Far East to expand and strengthen my family business."

"At that time, as long as I let my people leave the Far East, or even leave the Empire, and go to other empires with my support, they will rise rapidly and become a huge force in any country."

"Even as long as I am in power, I can support my children to have high status in different countries and make my family grow and prosper."

"I will no longer be a general with little presence in the Far East."

"I will be famous all over the world."

"Isbury said firmly."

"General, if you really do this, you will not only become famous, but you will even be remembered by history."

"At the same time, your family will no longer be limited to the Far East, but will be spread all over the world."

The general excitedly grabbed Bickley's shoulder.

Tell me the specific methods.

"Isbury said confidently."

"General, I have a way."

"But if the general wants to carry out this plan, there is something even more important that needs to be done."

The general frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what it was, so he asked directly.

"Is there anything else? Tell me all at once."
