New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 99 Is it normal for me to adjust the time?

Seeing things turn out like this, little Joseph couldn't sit still.

He didn't know whether those damn California representatives were stupid or not. But he was sure that those representatives were definitely mistaken about the attitudes of these Orientals.

The black soldier who was killed just now has not been buried yet. How dare you be so brave?

We can put it off for now and wait until support from California arrives!

But what he never imagined was that there was a person in Sacramento who wanted to see San Francisco completely occupied by the Xinming Empire.

In that case, California would have to concentrate all its efforts on war with the Easterners.

After those Easterners are completely eliminated, we can also receive the inheritance of the 'missing San Francisco Consortium' in San Francisco during the war.

As for the soldiers and civilians who died in the war... what does that have to do with their capitalists?

If there are no more people, just come here from the east. Didn’t you see that the gold rush a few years ago attracted more than 300,000 immigrants?

In fact, gold mines were discovered in California in 1841, before the gold rush. At that time, the entire California was a barren and sparsely populated area, with nothing but desert.

After these people dug for seven years, they publicized the gold mine, which triggered the California Gold Rush in 1848.

As for why you kindly spread the news about the gold mine...

Of course it's because these capitalists thought of a better idea to make money - selling tools.

These people sell gold pans for 20 cents each for as much as $15.

In addition to the capitalist Brennan who made money by selling tools, others who made a fortune include Levi Strauss who sold jeans, Gidley Chocolate Shop, the sailing company that traveled to and from San Francisco, and Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco, etc.

This model has a professional term in later generations called "cutting leeks".

Using San Francisco's war with the Orientals to bring the whole of California in, this is a new opportunity to cut leeks.

If this were not the case, how could the large factory owners who depended on Li Mingqi have only protested several times after the California Congress announced a ban on trading with Los Angeles?

Isn't it because they are busy sucking blood from their dying colleagues?

As for whether California can eliminate those Orientals, they never considered losing.

As long as rumors are spread to the outside world that gold mines have been discovered in Los Angeles, those Easterners will face hundreds of thousands of greedy miners.

Therefore, in the eyes of these people, the threat from the East is like a bug lying on their feet. They can be crushed to death with just a lift of their feet.

But little Joseph reacted too late. When he gathered his troops, the Wehrmacht had already set up a hand-operated rotating machine gun at the street corner.

Seeing that war was about to begin, the residents of San Francisco began to become confused.

Some people went home and took out their weapons and prepared to fight the invaders to the death, but more people started running towards the port.

Because everyone knows that the port is the safest, and neither the Easterners nor the 9th Infantry Regiment will destroy this only port in California.

The National Defense Forces have begun firing blank bombs carrying leaflets into the city of San Francisco.

The scattered leaflets clearly stated that the war would start in two hours.

The location of the battle has also been marked, which is the area from the square to Church Street!

As for why a long war zone should be divided... let's ask the priests in the churches why they offended the Xinming Empire.

Sitting on the carriage, the leaders of the Xinming Empire had already begun discussing how to sign the post-war agreement.

If the military parade is to proceed from east to west or from east to northwest towards the port area.

Of course, there is also the issue of war reparations.

After handing these matters over to Liu Youcai and the others, Li Mingqi had time to ask Cui Jianguo about the time when he reported that he was going to raid the Hawthorn mine, and how nothing happened after that.

"Long...Long live my lord, actually we did make a surprise attack later, but we were repelled by the guards at the mine."

"Barton broke his leg while escaping. Because he was in such a panic at the time, he didn't report it to you..."

Li Mingqi nodded to express his understanding. As for how many Heavenly Kingdom Bai followers were sacrificed during the raid, that was not something Li Mingqi should consider.

Speaking of the congregation, Li Mingqi suddenly remembered the gossip about the little widow hidden in the Jinwu of Lao Cui.

Glancing at Cui Jianguo, Li Mingqi asked seemingly unintentionally:

"By the way, I heard that Lao Liu is getting married? Don't forget to send us an invitation then."

When Cui Jianguo heard what Li Mingqi said, he immediately thought that Long Live Lord had reached the age to marry, and now he asked about his own affairs...

Does Long Live Lord like... How is this different from Cao Cao's thief?

Thinking of this, Cui Jianguo said euphemistically: "Xiu Niang and I are really in love, but we are both the same age, so... So I want to retire and return to my hometown. I am a beggar... by the way, a beggar for his bones."

Li Mingqi was also a little embarrassed when he heard Cui Jianguo's request to retire.

After all, Cui Jianguo was the hero who escaped to the Flying Bird with his original body. Now that the New Ming Empire has just been established, it is time to share the credit.

If Cui Jianguo retires at this time, he will only be a powerless Duke of Wei in the future.

By the way, this prince is so miserable that he doesn't even have a fief, so he can only stay in the Xinming Hotel as an apartment.

"I think you can still contribute to the country for a few more years. Now is the time for the empire to hire people. If you retire at this time, your descendants will definitely blame you in the future."

What Li Mingqi said was sincere. There were only three heroes in the founding of the country. After all, Sun Laifu, Wang Chuan and the others were inferior, and Patton and Wilson Jr. were even less ranked.

Zhang Yu and others are very resistant to officialdom because they were born in a craftsman's household, and it will probably take some time for them to get over it.

Therefore, there are really not many people available, let alone those who are trustworthy.

Although Cui Jianguo ranked last among the founding heroes, Li Mingqi still had some trust in him.

After being persuaded by Li Mingqi, Cui Jianguo no longer wanted to mention retirement, so he nodded and said:

"Then let me wait until the old minister helps Long Live Master sign the contract with those white barbarians."

By the time Li Mingqi and the others returned to the rear, the National Defense Forces were ready for battle.

Wang Chuan's heavy artillery regiment was deployed outside the city, waiting to bomb the streets that had been listed as war zones after the war started.

Of course, a certain church that Long Live the Lord personally assigned is a priority.

The waiting time is always very fast. When there were still fifty minutes before the war started, Li Mingqi's voice came from the intercom.

"The Duke of Wei just proposed to me, how can I follow the time of the Baiman as I am a proud Chinese orthodoxy?"

"Gong Wei also proposed that everyone in the empire should set the time on their watches back by four or eight minutes, so that it can be used as a time difference between the New Ming Empire and the Baiman Empire."

"I deeply agree, so I will adjust the time back temporarily. If it is inconvenient in the future, I can adjust it back again."

"Finally, I hope that the soldiers will launch the attack on time to show that our New Ming Empire strictly abides by its promise!"
