America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

In the office of the French Empire's foreign affairs department that specifically handled Hawaiian affairs.

When the news arrived, the people in charge read it and all sneered.

"This little Hawaii really knows how to cause trouble. If it weren't for its relatively important location, we wouldn't even need to pay attention to it."

"That's right, it's just a small country with tens of thousands of people changing its king. As long as it doesn't affect us, it's fine."

"However, we cannot sit idly by in this matter. This new king is clearly a foolish ruler, and he may do many things that betray the national interests. I estimate that the United States will take this opportunity to fight for more rights in Hawaii, and we cannot just stand by and watch."

"That's right, even if we can't have it, we can't let America have it."

Just as they were discussing this, they received a report from their subordinates.

They were somewhat taken aback when they heard that the person who had contacted them was a diplomat from Hawaii.

However, regardless of the circumstances, he is a diplomat of a country, and it is impossible for him to refuse to meet with her.

Not long after, a meeting with Hawaiian diplomats was arranged.

This so-called Hawaiian diplomat was naturally also an alter ego of Li Changsheng.

From now on, he will appear before the world as a Hawaiian diplomat.

"Friends from Hawaii, we don't know why you came all this way to see us."

The clone stated it directly.

"I presume your country is already aware that my Kingdom of Hawaii has elected a new king."

"The king arranged for me to come to the French Empire before the election."

"The goal is to have the French Empire provide my Kingdom of Hawaii with a fleet and corresponding instructors to help me build the Hawaiian Navy."

"At the same time, we hope that the French Empire can provide us with rifles, cannons, and bullets to equip 1 men to maintain the integrity of our territory."

The French Empire's members listened with faces full of question marks.

Do you Hawaiian Empire really need so many weapons?

Moreover, can rifles and cannons be used to maintain the integrity of the territory?

To protect our motherland, we still need more powerful weapons.

It's clear that the Kingdom of Hawaii, after the new king took office, is worried about being overthrown and is therefore equipping himself with his own army!

However, this is also a good thing for the French Empire.

The new king of the newly formed Kingdom of Hawaii is certainly not only building his own team to protect his own interests, but also wants to gain more benefits.

With its own power, the Kingdom of Hawaii would be less likely to be annexed by the United States.

This is also of great benefit to France.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the Kingdom of Hawaii would have to give something in return for coming to France to ask for weapons and equipment.

So after discussing it for a while, the group put forward their own requirements.

They could provide weapons and equipment free of charge, but they required that part of the ports in the Hawaiian Islands be leased for the transshipment of French goods.

Unfortunately, Li Changsheng's clone would never agree to this.

Isn't this equivalent to handing over the operation of the port to France?

Finally, the two sides agreed that the weapons would be purchased through a loan.

For France, they disposed of a batch of unused weapons and ships, while also causing some trouble for the United States and making a profit.

There was absolutely no loss.

So not long after, the fleet set off.

At the same time, Hawaii purchased large quantities of gunpowder and explosives from other countries, and also bought several ships to sail with merchant ships towards Hawaii.

As for Li Changsheng himself, because of the TNT incident, he did not stay in Hawaii any longer. After handing over the matters in Hawaii, he returned to San Francisco.

However, upon returning to San Francisco, he immediately contacted all his clones.

"The capable clones can then purchase uranium ore in their respective controlled or accessible areas."

"Currently, the application of this mineral is very limited, mainly for coloring glass and porcelain. The price itself is not high, so we can simply buy the mineral directly."

"At the same time, I will arrange for more clones to go to schools in the United States and various European countries to study."

"Strive to develop nuclear weapons in the shortest possible time."

"As long as we can successfully develop nuclear weapons, we will be invincible in the future."

"Your purchases of uranium mines around the world in advance are preparations for the future."

"In the parallel world before we traveled, nuclear power plants were already very advanced. If we start our research now, whether it's nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants, or other applications, we will be many steps ahead of the rest of the world."

"Now we have taken control of the Far East and Hawaii. At the same time, we are carrying out a deification campaign in many countries. I believe that it will not be long before more small countries and island nations are under our control."

"In the short term, we can use TNT as a deterrent to form alliances of small countries or island nations."

"Once nuclear weapons are available, our island alliance will become a powerful force that no one can ignore, and it may even be able to deter the entire world."

"So, when you buy uranium ore, you also need to buy the raw materials to make TNT."

"The reserves of these two raw materials, the acquisition of related technologies, and subsequent research will lay the foundation for our future."

After Li Changsheng relayed these words to all his clones, clones around the world sprang into action.

Those uranium mines that no one had paid attention to before were acquired one by one by Li Changsheng's clones.

Even if some mines have already been purchased by others because they are for extracting vanadium to synthesize metals, Li Changsheng's clone will still buy the slag.

Because these slag deposits are the best uranium ore.

Of course, these are just worthless broken stones in the eyes of modern people.

After giving the order, Li Changsheng unfolded a world map he had purchased.

He drew a circle in each of three places: Hawaii, the Far East, and California.

Subsequently, another arrow was drawn in Panama, East Timor, Singapore, Maldives, and Okinawa.

"Before, I didn't have absolute strength. I only thought about immigrating Chinese people all over the world as much as possible, making Chinese culture rise globally, and making Chinese a common language."

"But now that we have TNT, and can even develop nuclear weapons ahead of time, with absolute power, I can also build my own empire."

"With the Far East and the Qing Dynasty Immigration Bureau as my base, I can have my clones gradually take over these places."

"So while we need to focus our efforts on Hawaii and California, we also need to allocate some time to these other countries."

"These countries each have populations of tens of thousands. Given enough time, I can control all of them."
