This is also a necessary stage for an industrial country to develop to a certain level. In the original time and space, Britain and the United States did this in the mid-to-late nineteenth century.

Britain's railway investment frenzy in the 1840s and 1950s, and the United States' railway construction frenzy in the late 19th century were all in a similar background.

Today’s Great Chu Empire is no exception!

And the construction scale is larger and faster than the two countries in the original time and space!

In particular, the Annan region was annexed by the Chu State, and subsequently many areas of the Nanzhang Kingdom were also annexed by the Chu State in various names. Both the senior officials and the people of the Kingdom of Siam and the Kingdom of Myanmar were worried about being annexed by the Chu State every day.

However, it still cannot stop these illegal immigrants from going to Chu State!
