America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 126 Signing the Contract

On this day, the Chinese American Daily published a breaking news item.

The main content of the message was about a contract signed between two Eastern countries.

This contract is basically the same as those signed between other countries and the small island in the East, except that the specific contents of this contract cannot be disclosed, as they would be indefinitely censored if revealed.

As for the specific contents of the contract, just imagine it yourself, otherwise I really don't know how to revise it.

Of course, if you don't want to think about it yourself, you can look it up yourself.

In short, the signing of this contract caused a huge sensation.

This incident drew global attention to the region in the East, as well as to the existence of two warlords.

This made them realize how powerful the general was.

Now, along the entire eastern coastal region, if not the number one general, then almost.

Of course, for other powers in the world, what happened there had nothing to do with them. Even if some countries had the same amount of effort, they only considered the general to be a worthy opponent.

They didn't care about anything else, since it didn't have much impact on them, and might even be beneficial to them.

After all, the more chaotic things are in the East, the more time they have to arrange their own affairs.

However, after signing the contract, Kojima felt uneasy.

In an effort to make up for the losses from signing this contract, the island's leaders took the opportunity to spread the message domestically that without strength, the island would only be passively attacked, and if things continued this way, the island would surely perish.

It is because of this argument that the island has become more unified!

This was an unexpected surprise for the person in charge of the island.

In order to rebuild their navy, they immediately prepared silver, using the 1.5 million taels of silver intended for compensation to ransom their naval soldiers and officers.

Without these naval forces, it would take them a great deal of time and effort to rebuild them.

After these naval forces returned, ships and weapons provided by Britain, France, and other countries also arrived, so the island's first naval fleet was re-established.

However, this time the First Fleet was only responsible for patrolling, and Kojima no longer had any plans to go to the archipelago.

Meanwhile, there are also more than 20,000 island soldiers on the three island groups that were originally occupied by the small island.

However, after the arrival of the First Fleet in Outer Northeast, these people had to abandon everything they had and retreat back to the island.

Meanwhile, people from Outer Northeast also came to take over these islands.

It can be said that the island's years of hard work have been completely wasted.

In order for the island to become great, the Emperor and the Prime Minister have formulated the latest policies.

The whole country is vigorously developing light industry.

They began constructing their own railway system for the island empire.

At the same time, all capable men joined the factory. Even if you were a child, as long as you could work, you could earn wages and contribute to the island empire.

At the same time, the strongest and most physically capable men were selected for physical training and made into soldiers.

Finally, even the women who stayed at home were required to contribute as much as possible to the island empire.

After utilizing all available resources within the country, the Emperor and the Prime Minister discovered a critical problem: "Now that all available manpower within the Empire has been mobilized, for the sake of the island and the Empire's development, we must not overlook any group."

"The only remaining group is the young women in the island empire."

"These women are either staying at home doing nothing because of family reasons or because they are not yet of marriageable age."

"This situation has seriously affected the development of my island empire."

"I want to understand the Empire. If we want to become powerful, everyone has to put in the effort."

"Let these young women play their proper role in generating more profits for my island empire and making it even stronger."

With this decree from the Emperor, the young women of the island became the most tragic generation.

Unmarried girls or married women who stayed at home to raise children handed over everything in their homes to the elderly, bidding farewell to their husbands, brothers, and families, and starting a new life.

These women took on jobs they had never done before, all in an effort to earn more money to support their families and strengthen their country.

Some women are unwilling but have no choice, because the money the men in their families earn is simply not enough to support them, so they have to find other ways to make money.

It was under these circumstances that many women, lacking any means of making a living, became what are known as "Nanyang Sisters".

Of course, some people became "Nanyang Sisters" because they were deceived.

However, whatever the reason, starting from this year, the export of foreign women from the island empire became a common phenomenon.

In order to develop and strengthen itself, the island empire has resorted to all sorts of means.

Of course, Li Changsheng and his clones no longer paid attention to the matter of the island.

With this incident, the matter of the overseas islands has basically been settled.

The refugees from the Central Plains were transported to the archipelago by the Northern Fleet, the Archipelago Fleet, and even many merchant ships.

The population of the islands in the archipelago is increasing.

At the same time, the archipelago also entered a period of rapid development!

In this process, in addition to the warlords under the general's name who occupied most of the resources, they also cultivated dozens of local natives in the archipelago to become the representatives of the archipelago!

They possess many of the islands' resources.

They sheltered many people in the islands!

No one knew that these so-called island representatives were actually Li Changsheng's clones!

It can be said that, under these circumstances, the archipelago has been completely controlled by Li Changsheng's clone!

Meanwhile, in order to maintain the stability of the archipelago, the number of troops on the islands is also increasing, and a large amount of weapons and equipment are being transported from the general.

It is safe to say that there will be no problems for the next ten or even twenty years.

In ten or even twenty years, other powers will be even less likely to covet this land.

It can be said that the first step of the plan has been basically completed.

Subsequent developments will take a long time.

It was at this time that Bickley finally returned to the East and met the general!

The first thing he said after meeting the general was...

"General, the problem over there has been basically resolved. Because of that strategy, the Western countries did not put much effort into it, so our top priority now is to take Jiaozhi. Taking Jiaozhi will lead to a confrontation with the Western countries, and this war is inevitable."

"As long as we successfully acquire Jiaozhi and hold our own against the Western countries, then our Outer Manchuria will be firmly established."
