New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 101 Unforeseen Consequences of War

What happened to the Third Company was just a small microcosm. There were more soldiers who were sneak attacked while advancing in the city.

When Sun Laifu received the report from the front line, he cursed angrily.

After walking back and forth in the command room for a few steps, he ordered: "Notify, slow down the advance, and search door to door for me."

"Any resistance must be eradicated!"

After his order was issued, although the soldiers' advancing speed began to slow down, they still rushed towards the target location resolutely.

The target locations of the National Defense Force soldiers are San Francisco's police stations, tax offices, banks, city hall and other key places.

As for the weapons workshops in San Francisco, they have long been visited by mortars.

For a time, the streets of San Francisco were filled with gunshots and grenade explosions.

After the initial discomfort, now the National Defense Forces have almost understood who those resisting guys are.

Most of them are gunmen hired by rich people, and the rest are some hot-headed middle-class young people.

Of course, these people's irrational behavior also cost them their family reunion.

Soon, except for the police station which was ordered to be demolished, all other targets were occupied by the National Defense Forces.

The fighting lasted until noon the next day. Except for the anti-Ming elements who resisted fiercely, the rest of the residents of San Francisco were ordered to stay at home.

Let Mr. Davis, the former commander of the Second Regiment of the California Cavalry, a former instructor of the New Ming Empire National Defense Force, and the current commander of the white puppet troops, command the white puppet troops wearing red sleeves and take over the entire San Francisco area except for key positions.

After defense work.

At this time, the National Defense Forces had advanced the front line to the outskirts of the San Francisco Port.

Some "family workers" who were willing to work as part-time workers were temporarily recruited from several factories, and an isolation zone was built around the San Francisco Port using sandbags and wooden boards.

Two days later, Barton, who was lame on one leg, and Andre, the gang leader who had kidnapped him, were sitting at the door of the quarantine area.

While drinking tea, we talked about the residents who had fled from downtown San Francisco.

Now these wealthy residents, who have been disappointed with California, have begun to gather in front of the quarantine area with large and small bags, waiting for release.

After Patton and the two had finished talking, they waved their hands and asked the white puppet soldiers to open the barbed wire gate of the quarantine area.

After clearing his throat, Barton took the microphone and began to shout to the panic-looking residents.

"Dear residents of San Francisco, this fight is entirely caused by California's provocation! Do you all know the regulations prohibiting trade with Los Angeles some time ago?"

"You also heard about the initial incident where the Stanford family sent people to assassinate His Majesty Li Mingqi, right?"

Looking at the puzzled San Francisco residents, Barton had a trace of bitterness and hatred on his face.

"Dear brothers and sisters, it seems that you know nothing. You have been deceived by those California legislators."

"But His Majesty Li Mingqi is kind, generous, and very sympathetic to everyone, so now every family can come to me to receive ten..."

Speaking of this, Barton looked at Andre next to him and asked softly:

"Has all the cash been accounted for?"

Andre opened the account book, looked at it and said:

"The statistics are out, plus the banknotes sealed by the San Francisco Bank that have just been printed and have not yet been sent to Sacramento, the total is more than 40 million US dollars!"

At the end of his speech, his voice was full of disbelief.

In addition to the $20 million in special funds from the California government, it can also be (crossed out) from various wealthy individuals.

No one expected that more than 20 million in banknotes and cash could be found from the homes of major capitalist war criminals.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to be called these war criminals. These people were all participants in the "Oriental Immigration Ship" tragedy some time ago.

But it's normal to think about it. These people have just resold a large amount of war preparation materials, grain ore, etc. to the New Ming Empire at high prices.

It makes sense to have so many new edition banknotes at home, not to mention that Li Mingqi also ordered a certain amount of rebates to be given to anyone who accepts banknotes.

Now these banknotes printed by the Xinming Empire have returned to the Xinming Empire.

After getting Andre's reply, Barton shouted into the microphone again:

"Your generous Majesty Li Mingqi has decided to reward you with some benefits. Those who choose to leave San Francisco now can come to me to receive one hundred and fifty US dollars..."

"No, now each person can receive 200 US dollars in travel expenses. His Majesty Li Mingqi asked me to say 'bon voyage' to everyone."

Patton's words reached the ears of every San Francisco resident through loudspeakers installed in the quarantine area.

Suddenly, everyone went crazy, and even some poor people in the city who wanted to stay flocked to the quarantine area.

US$200 is not a small amount of money in this day and age, not to mention it comes for free.

As expected, the scene became chaotic.

However, under the bayonets and gun butts of the white puppet soldiers, these residents soon learned what queuing meant.

As for why you should give money to these people for free?

"Yes, Lord Long Live, why do you have to pay these white barbarians in vain?"

Liu Erhe didn't understand Li Mingqi's decision, so he asked Li Mingqi when he was free.

"In addition to allowing those residents who want to leave California voluntarily, there is also the fact that these banknotes are about to become waste paper."

Of course it will be turned into waste paper. When the Civil War began, paper money became a piece of paper.

At that time, people no longer recognized banknotes, but metal currencies such as Spanish silver coins.

Although Lincoln, the leader of the government army, issued a war bond called "green coins" during the war, after the war Lincoln also went to see God because of these "green coins".

"Wait until all San Francisco residents have received the money, then tell them the news that the banknotes will be devalued, and ask them to hurry up and go to banks in California to exchange for metal currency."

"It's a good deal to give those annoying California legislators some fun with some banknotes that have no use to us!"

Li Mingqi looked at the residents happily dragging their families and leaving San Francisco on the street, and even he felt strange.

At first, he thought it would be great to build a concession area in San Francisco.

But it wasn't until the war started that he fully understood why those European bandits were so keen on invading everywhere.

Now Li Mingqi wants these banknotes, which are completely useless in the Xinming Empire, to impact California's current currency market.

Let the chips available to the capitalists become worthless as soon as possible.

Now that Li Mingqi has occupied most of the land in San Francisco except the port area, there is no need to think that California will impose a material blockade on the Xinming Empire.

But it would be up to San Francisco residents carrying huge amounts of paper money to send a message to other Californians that paper money is doomed.

Then it is possible to artificially create panic and make everyone go to the bank to exchange currency.

Li Mingqi did not believe that the bankers in California had enough gold and silver coins to recycle banknotes.

Even if they had enough gold and silver to recycle, wouldn't the Xinming Empire still be able to continue printing?

We must let those disgusting guys take care of themselves, so that Li Mingqi has time to digest the inherent territories he has now recovered.

You must know that during the Civil War, it was not only the United States itself that was fighting, but there were also two European troublemakers, Na San and Dai Ying.
