The expeditionary force began to dominate Southeast Asia by recruiting defeated soldiers

They knew very well that with the change in population ratio, this newly built city would become a paradise and homeland for the Qian people in the future. Zhang Chi's 500 million dollars was equivalent to paying out of his own pocket to seek benefits for the hundreds of thousands of Qian people in northern Pegu.

For a moment, everyone was deeply moved. You know, although the White Eagle people provided a loan of hundreds of millions, starting from the Beiyang, the money had gone into the Marshal's pocket. If he wanted to take it out again, how much and how to take it out would be very particular.

After all, since the Republic of China, all the generals and governors have been here to make money, and some counties even collected taxes until 2020.

Only Zhang Chi, after he conquered the territory, did not think of collecting taxes at the first time, but of spending money on construction.

"General, you are so righteous. Although I, Meng Xingfa, am a crude man, I also know honor and disgrace. Our Meng family is willing to contribute 20 yuan to help build the city."

Meng Xingfa suddenly stood up and shouted, scaring everyone.

The leaders of the local tyrants in Nanyang who were present looked at Meng Xingfa in surprise, wondering what this old guy was up to today.

After sitting down, Meng Xingfa felt secretly proud.

He had been working with Zhang Chi for the past year, mining and doing business, and had made a killing. But that was just a few mines in the northern mountainous area of ​​Kejian State. What he wanted was the mining rights once Zhang Chi conquered the entire territory, so he could become a true mining tycoon.

Now Zhang Chi took out 500 million, and it was Dao Le, which shows that he attaches great importance to urban construction. He also took out money at this time, which shows that he is in step with Zhang Chi. Does he still need to worry about not making money in the future?

"Hehehe, if you don't sacrifice the child, you won't catch the wolf. I'm going to throw most of my liquid funds into it. Do you old guys have my courage?"

Except for Meng Xingfa, everyone present was not a fool and soon figured it out.

Some of the quicker merchants, such as Huan Borong, immediately realized that this was a brilliant idea and immediately followed up by shouting, "On behalf of the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce, I am willing to contribute 20 British pounds to jointly build our home."

When Huan Borong also shouted out, the other families realized that this was a good opportunity to show Zhang Chi that they were on the same page as him and to gain fame.

Then they followed suit and shouted out the amount of money they could afford.

"Our Fujian Chamber of Commerce will contribute 30 yuan."

"Our Liu family will pay 20 dollars."

"Our Guan family is willing to pay 5 yuan."

Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more heated, Zhang Xincan, who was currently leading the construction department and was asked by the Malaysian Zhang family to come to support Zhang Chi, shouted after receiving Zhang Chi's instructions:

"We, the Malay Zhang family, will contribute another $100 million to build a city in Bago that belongs only to us, the Qian people!"

Zhang Xincan's words ignited the whole audience.

Some of the young men immediately followed suit and shouted:

"Yes, it belongs only to us Qian people."

"Well said! We want a city where no Johns, Dutch, or White Eagles can bully us anymore."

For most of the people here who came from Southeast Asia, a city without a foreign emperor can be said to be their lifelong dream.

The history of Qian people going to Southeast Asia can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. With the rise of the Age of Discovery in the late Ming Dynasty, the Maritime Silk Road became popular and the population of the Central Plains increased dramatically, which led to more and more Chinese going south to Luzon, Siam, Malacca and Annan.

Among them, the kings who took turns to seize the throne and the powerful generals of Siam and Annan all had close ties with the Qian people.

The Zhongqian people from other countries were also hardworking and intelligent, and most of them moved south together with their fellow villagers, and they quickly became rich.

However, in the past, because the Qian people were scattered across Southeast Asia and their ancestral origins were different, they fought more among themselves than together. Under the instigation of the colonists, it was difficult for them to unite as one. Instead, they became lambs to be slaughtered while controlling a large amount of wealth.

Zhang Chi looked at the excited crowd in the conference room and suddenly realized that this was the meaning of his traveling through this parallel universe.

These overseas Chinese have suffered too much and shed too many tears.

The French, the Dutch, the Johns, the White Eagles, these white colonists took turns ravaging them. Although the South China Sea was so vast, they had no sense of home at all.

Now the Japanese are sweeping across Southeast Asia, and Zhang Chi has emerged as a new force. This gives them an excellent opportunity to unite around Zhang Chi, who has guns, people and money, and join forces to fight the colonists.

Zhang Chi knew that these people were so excited because he had given them hope.

A hope to build a home of their own for the nearly 10 million Qian people (including mixed-race people) in Nanyang.

This hope had existed in Borneo before, and Lan Fang had tried it.

However, Lan Fang's fist was not strong enough and people's hearts were not united, so it was ultimately destroyed.

Now Zhangchi has a system and has foresight about the future trends of the world.

At this moment, he secretly swore in his heart that he would not only drive out the Japanese devils completely without leaving a single one behind, but also establish a back garden in Nanyang that would belong exclusively to the Qian people.

-----

The atmosphere in the meeting was so heated that many of the agendas that Zhang Chi wanted to advance were quickly passed unanimously after the report.

Zhang Chi looked at the vitality, hope and excitement on everyone's faces and smiled with satisfaction.

However, he also secretly reminded himself that such a scene of unity would only happen in the early stages of entrepreneurship, and he should not be too optimistic.

It’s as if if the drama ended at the moment when Zhu Yuanzhang established his government, it would undoubtedly be a happy story, but everyone in Qian knew what happened afterwards.

Now as an emerging force, they are in a situation where the pie is getting bigger. Therefore, these local tyrants in Southeast Asia, regardless of their origin, industry, or place of origin, can more or less get a piece of the benefit from the increasingly bigger pie.

However, once the expansion momentum stops in the future and the cake becomes too divided, conflicts will erupt. At that time, White Eagle, John, and the Russian Bear may take advantage of the situation and divide and win over everyone present.

In the face of this kind of enticement, his greatest reliance is the army in his hands and the various synthetic humans produced by the system.

That's right, as the system technology tree unlocked level V, Zhang Chi discovered that on the synth purchase page, in addition to the traditional operators of the army, navy and air force, all types of synths such as commanders, spies, and various scientific research talents can be purchased.

Of course, since the price starts at 50 kilograms of gold, and scientific researchers have no potential for self-study and improvement, Zhang Chi’s future plan is to mainly recruit local talents from the parallel world, supplemented by exchanging synthetic humans to strengthen control.
