America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Panama in 1873.

Based on what he had learned, Li Changsheng wrote down these words.

The following is the specific information obtained from the clone.

"Panama City has about 7000 people, Colon about 5,000, and the entire isthmus region, which is the whole of Panama, has only about 70,000 people."

"Panama isn't called Panama yet."

"The exact name is the Isthmus of Columbia Province."

"The main force is the official personnel dispatched by Colombia."

"Although these people are said to be in charge of the administration and tax collection in Panama, their actual control is not strong because Panama is too far from Colombia."

"The second force is mainly composed of Spanish white elites and mixed European-Indian elites who were left over from the Spanish colonial period. They have inherited everything from the colonial period and control a large amount of land and commerce in the entire Panama region."

"These individuals have connections with officials dispatched by Colombia, which has made them the de facto rulers of the Panama region."

"The third is foreign forces, mainly from the United States and France."

"The United States has completed the construction of the Panama Railway, controls the Panama Railway, and controls transportation between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans."

"France has also invested a lot of effort in preparing to build the Panama Canal, although it is still in the exploration phase. However, there are also many forces infiltrating Panama."

"The fourth force was the native Indians. At this time, no one in Panama cared about the surrounding areas; they only cared about the Panama Canal."

"Therefore, tens of thousands of indigenous people in remote areas of Panama are gradually integrating into Panamanian society and gaining a certain degree of influence."

"The last force was Black people."

"As a former slave transit center, Panama has a large number of Black people who remained in Panama for this reason."

"Especially in Panama City and Colon City, and along the railway line in between, many Black people are doing the most basic jobs."

"Similarly, there are also thousands of Chinese laborers, as well as laborers from other countries."

"These people are at the very bottom of Panama's social hierarchy, performing all kinds of manual labor in Panama."

This is the basic situation in Panama.

However, this situation occurred before Li Changsheng's clone went there.

Because Li Changsheng's clones arrived in Panama earlier, there are several Li Changsheng clones in the Panama region.

Initially, the clone only learned about the situation. Later, due to the rise of the fish-frying industry, the clone became an agent for Nobel's explosives and became the number one fishing company in Panama and the Panama seafood processing company.

The two companies recruited tens of thousands of Black and Native American employees. At the same time, Chinese laborers, who were already not well-regarded, also joined the two companies.

Because there are fewer low-level laborers, Panama has recruited more than 10,000 Chinese laborers in recent years.

Several of them also created clones.

The rest are also under the control of the clone.

Bicycle and zipper patents have little market in Panama, so no factories were ever built there.

When needed, it is imported from other countries.

But fountain pens are indeed very important in Panama.

The pen company in Panama has 500 employees.

Because all the pen companies in Panama rely on their own production and sales.

Similarly, the Panamanian telephone company quickly covered the entire country after its establishment.

The company also has several hundred employees.

Most importantly, as the telephone company grew and expanded, it also began to invest in other industries.

After all, it's very easy for Panama Telephone Company to make a profit.

People in other places might make fewer calls, but the Panama Telephone Company's phones ring almost all day long.

The telephone lines between Panama City and Colon City are particularly frequent.

In order to better serve these two areas, the telephone company recruited many people to act as intermediaries.

Because the telephone company was able to obtain a large amount of information, it established the Panama Information Service Company.

This company primarily helps companies that buy and sell goods through Panama to complete their transactions.

To put it bluntly, it's about profiting from an information gap.

Deliver what you need to those who need it, and earn a commission for the information.

Ironically, this information service company, because it can accurately help people find customers and accurately solve some people's problems, has grown rapidly.

Including the recently established phonograph company and barbed wire company, this basically constitutes Li Changsheng's entire business empire.

After recording all these details on paper, Li Changsheng read it over several times before putting the paper down.

Turn the paper over and rewrite it.

"The Panama Control Plan (1)".

"The first step: to dismantle the social status of Spaniards and mixed-race people, and to acquire their company assets and land through commercial means, thus becoming the new top leadership in Panama."

"Make it impossible for these people to survive in Panama, so they have no choice but to go to other countries."

"Step two: Take control of most of the land and factories in Panama, and make everyone in Panama work for me."

"The third step: break away from Colombian control, become an independent country, and completely control Panama."

"Step 4: Give up profits and join forces with France and the United States to build the Panama Canal. At the same time, if possible, when the Far East branch of the Global Patent Group and other branches with the ability to invest join in, and even invite a few more countries, the profits of the Panama Canal will be divided equally, so that the United States and France cannot control Panama."

"At the same time, with the opening of the Panama Canal, a large number of Chinese immigrants became laborers, and eventually, these Chinese settled in Panama, making Panama a Chinese country."

"Step 5: In the future, if there is an opportunity, we will take back all the Panama Canal shares controlled by other countries and completely control the Panama Canal and even the railway."

Li Changsheng put down his pen at this point.

The first few steps were manageable, but for the final step, Li Changsheng understood very well that to completely reclaim the Panama Canal, they had to wait until Panama became powerful enough.

Or perhaps Panama and all the island nations he has planned for himself will be under his control.

After gaining control of these island nations, forming a true island nation alliance, and possessing large quantities of explosives or even developing nuclear weapons, perhaps only then can the final step be completed.

Before that, Li Changsheng had only one goal: to use the Panama Canal to turn Panama into a Chinese-majority country and completely control it.

"Achieving these goals is a long and arduous journey, so let's start with the first step."

"We'll reserve some of our operations in Panama and let them develop on their own."

"I'd like to check on the situation in the other places first."
