America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

The 1872 diamond scam.

Among those who were deceived were Horace, as well as the generals, financiers, bankers, and scions of prominent families he mentioned.

The two swindlers cashed out eight million and ran away.

Li Changsheng had read this article in his previous life.

However, these kinds of articles are just for fun. Although he remembers them clearly, he really can't recall them without specific conditions triggering them!

Now, recalling the specific details of the scam, he glanced at the time and suddenly realized that the scam was almost over.

Eight million in this era is equivalent to one or two hundred million in the future.

Although for Li Changsheng, given time, he could easily obtain 800 million.

Even his Global Patent Group, regardless of which division, can easily earn 800 million.

Other clones, such as the one in the Far East, could easily come up with 800 million.

However, it won't be easy for Li Changsheng and some of his clones to earn 800 million.

So far, Li Changsheng only has 200 million yuan.

Of course, if you include his businesses, he has about 800 million.

However, since he could get eight million at once, Li Changsheng naturally had to seize the opportunity.

800 million is enough to allow several clones to develop.

However, even if Li Changsheng got his hands on the money, he wouldn't be able to keep it in America.

Then we can just have the clone take the money and leave.

Anyway, Li Changsheng has his own fleet.

Therefore, Li Changsheng immediately instructed his personal attendants to pay attention to this matter, and at the same time summoned a new clone to follow up on it.

Most importantly, the newly summoned clones were all equipped with weapons, so that they could seize the money the two swindlers had cashed out at any time.

Li Changsheng planned to use a "mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" tactic against them.

Li Changsheng naturally wouldn't touch the 800 million, so after handing the matter over to his clone, he stopped paying attention to it.

For Li Changsheng, the most important thing now is to improve the status of his clone and control the family's discourse power as much as possible.

Even if he can't completely control California now, he wants to control a portion of the power in California first.

At least someone can speak up for themselves.

At least in this territory, no one dares to target them easily.

Even if you're targeted, there will always be someone who will stand up for you.

Therefore, in the following elections, Li Changsheng's clones all sprang into action.

It's not just in California.

Each of their American counterparts began to advance into the political arena.

Especially those clones who signed agreements with Native American tribes during the previous Indian operations.

They became American heroes because of this, and with their great fame, they recruited a large number of workers to cultivate the land.

With their immense reputation and large following, they had formed simple alliances with most of the surrounding farmers.

In this way, it is easy for them to participate in the election.

Some became local sheriffs, some became councilors, and some became regional police officers.

Although they do not yet have the ability to control everything, they already possess a certain degree of power.

Leaving aside other places for now, let's just talk about California.

In almost every city, there is a doppelganger of Li Changsheng.

Of the eleven council members in San Francisco, four are actually alter egos of Li Changsheng.

The only pity is that those who serve as city councilors cannot serve as state councilors.

In the final state legislator election, even with the support of the Chinese community and the campaigning efforts of his Irish clone, Li Changsheng only managed to put Alexander, Glenn, Irving, and Lester, who had also returned to California, and six other clones into legislator positions.

Moreover, they are all from the House of Commons.

Seeing this result, Li Changsheng realized that his strength on the American side was still too weak.

"Ten legislators, plus other legislators I can win over through them, will give me a certain level of security here in California."

"But that's not enough."

"To avoid being manipulated in America, you need to control at least one state."

"Moreover, nearly half of the state legislators are lawyers."

"It seems that if we want to give our clones more control over the narrative, we need to have them study law."

Before this, all the clones Li Changsheng summoned were instructed to become farm owners, factory owners, or find other ways to make money and become rich.

It is precisely for this reason that these clones, whether they become city councilors, state legislators, sheriffs, police officers, or clones in other positions, are all because they are rich, because they manage many people, and because they are famous.

All of this caused Li Changsheng to overlook one thing.

"In California, half of the legislators are lawyers, while in other states, at least 30% of the legislators are lawyers, and in some states, 60% or 70% are lawyers."

"Previously, I only had a branch of the Global Patent Group study law."

"It seems we need to assign more people to study law."

"Moreover, arranging for these clones to study law has another advantage: it allows them to form cliques and recruit more people at school."

"After graduation, I will not only be able to be myself, but also have a large network of contacts."

"Then, by establishing one or more organizations belonging to different clones, we can gain greater influence in the American bureaucracy."

Having figured this out, Li Changsheng began to have his other clones help arrange for new clones to enter different schools to study law.

Moreover, this time Li Changsheng didn't summon white people randomly; he chose all Anglo-Saxons.

Having learned over the past few years since his time travel, he now knows that in the parallel world of America, most of those in power are Anglo-Saxons.

It was also easier to go to various schools and enter as an Anglo-Saxon.

In the future, whether it's participating in elections, doing business, or doing anything else, having Anglo-Chinese identity will make things much easier.

The issues facing Chinese Americans have been resolved, and they are no longer immigrating. Therefore, in the short term, the most important thing is to enhance their voice in the United States.

Therefore, the Anglo-Saxon splitting himself was the best option.

With memories of his past life and the information gap between the two different worlds, Li Changsheng believed that his Ansar clone would surely rise to prominence in a short time.

At the same time, he used this identity to build more connections and establish his own power.

Once his clones have all grown up, he can control multiple states, if not the entire United States, right?

Having considered this, Li Changsheng temporarily deployed three-quarters of his clones to America, allowing them to study diligently.

He wanted his clones to rediscover the joy of learning.

The remaining quarter is used to deal with the occasional needs of the other clones.

Just as he was making his arrangements, two pieces of news reached him.
