New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 108 The panic of the California spies

There was a little commotion in the port area that night. Dozens of businessmen doing business in the port area of ​​San Francisco unfortunately fell into the water when they were gathering again.

If Commander Davis of the Ming Xie Army hadn't arrived at the scene in time, these businessmen probably wouldn't have been able to recover even a single body.

In order to thank Davis and his Ming Xie troops, the families of these businessmen sent them generous gifts.

When this report was delivered to Li Mingqi by Jin Yiwei, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that these businessmen's families would repay their kindness so much. It's really embarrassing!"

At eight o'clock in the morning, the military parade of the Xinming Empire started on time.

The soldiers of the National Defense Force who were reviewed moved all the way towards the port area along the planned route.

At this time, there were no white people who did not belong to the Xin Ming Empire in the urban area of ​​San Francisco. The people who lived here at this time were all the people of the Xin Ming Empire.

These people stayed here and waited for His Majesty Li Mingqi to count the land in San Francisco so that the land could be divided among them.

In addition to them, there were also some Foxconn workers who voluntarily came with the soldiers of the first regiment who were about to be reviewed.

They want to spontaneously build a branch of the Umbrella School here, so that the glory of President Li of the New Ming Empire can shine on more people.

But Li Mingqi rejected the proposal after considering it for a long time, because there were already a lot of Foxconn workers at this time, and if we continued to recruit people, the population ratio would be unbalanced.

But Li Mingqi didn't let these people go back. Now that they're here, they can just start working here.

So these people suddenly became the after-work teachers of the free ‘laborers’ in the Xinming Empire.

In order to allow those white "laborers" who volunteered to contribute their sweat to the Xinming Empire to have a rich spiritual world, Li Mingqi can be said to have worked hard.

Not only were the working hours reduced to fourteen hours, but these people were even allowed to live in container houses demolished from Yingtianfu City.

This act of kindness even made Li Mingqi feel warm to his heart.

On the top of the triumphal tower, Li Mingqi, dressed in a dragon robe, walked to the microphone and stood still under the cameras.

He glanced at the crowd of empire subjects below and smiled.

He opened his mouth and said: "Today is January 20th of the New Ming Dynasty. It is also the time for our New Ming Empire to show its strength to the outside world for the first time. It is the time for us to make our own voice to the whole world."

Listening to the cheers of the people of the empire below, Li Mingqi waved his hand, then walked to the dragon throne and sat down.

He handed over the following hosting duties to Liu Youcai, allowing this veteran minister who could be said to have worked hard for the empire to properly show his face in front of the people of the empire and in front of the camera.

In addition to Li Mingqi, there were many guests watching the ceremony in the triumphal building.

There were representatives from Foxconn and teachers from the Umbrella School, and the rest were the old people from the Xinming Empire who followed Li Mingqi off the Bird.

Even Patton and Wilson Jr. were at the ceremony. Davis had his arm broken (crossed out) because he was eager to save people yesterday... He injured his arm because he was trying to save people, so he can only attend with injuries today.

In addition to these people, there were several journalists who came from various cities in California, and they were assigned to special media areas.

There was also a church bishop and eight of his assistants who were standing in the viewing area, being held up by Jin Yiwei.

They came to the port of San Francisco a few days ago to question Li Mingqi why he bombarded the San Francisco church.

But after arriving here, they also instigated several strikes by workers.

However, this kind of illegal assembly that started marching without prior notice was suppressed by Davis and the Ming Xie army.

The bishop was also beaten half to death by Davis. In the end, it was his assistants who fought hard to snatch him back from Davis' feet.

But in the end they were found by Jin Yiwei from the hotel, and today they were allowed to participate in the small-scale military parade of the New Ming Empire.

Let the National Defense Force tell him why Li Mingqi dared to bombard the church in San Francisco.

After Liu Youcai delivered a speech, the military parade officially began.

First, the ninety Napoleon cannons beside the Arc de Triomphe fired nine rounds.

Amid the roar of artillery, the flag-raising ceremony began.

The city gate downstairs of Triumph opened slowly, and a team of two hundred soldiers wearing flying fish uniforms and guarding the flag came out neatly.

Behind them are the soldiers of the National Defense Force carrying the Sanchen flag. Today, these soldiers of the National Defense Force are no longer wearing camouflage uniforms, but the image uniforms they have just changed into.

Ever since Li Mingqi became rich, Jin Yiwei's attire has all changed into flying fish clothes.

Sun Laifu finally turned the image of his uniform into the regular uniform of the National Defense Force soldiers.

Of course, the combat uniform is still the same camouflage uniform worn by Wu Jing.

The sound of neat footsteps continued from downstairs of Triumph to the newly built high imitation flag-raising platform.

Zhao Zhen, the historian of the Xinming Empire, checked in front of various fixed cameras to ensure that these reporters from the empire followed the fixed procedures.

He is very excited now because his name will definitely go down in history with this military parade.

It's a pity that he didn't catch up with the Yingtianfu army formation ceremony.

When the Sanchen flag slowly rose during the national anthem, Zhao Zhen also stopped and looked at the flag representing the New Ming Empire with emotion.

Next, it was time for the National Defense Forces to enter the field. With the command sounds in the earphones, the commanders of each regiment directed their soldiers to start dressing up.

In addition to the National Defense Force soldiers who were on duty today, a total of 4,000 people including Sun Laifu's First Regiment, Second Regiment, Third Regiment, and Wang Chuan's Heavy Artillery Regiment participated in the military parade.

Rows of neat square formations passed by the triumphal building. The exquisite uniforms and sophisticated equipment worn by the National Defense Force soldiers made the spies hiding among the crowd of white people watching the excitement feel chilled in their hearts.

Because the soldiers of the National Defense Force are now ready to join the war at any time, except for the honor guard holding the national flag, the national emblem, and the military flag in front who are wearing image post uniforms, the rest of the soldiers are still equipped with a full set of tactical equipment.

In addition to rifles, each person also had pistols and grenades on their waists, walkie-talkies on their chests, and individual backpacks on their backs.

There is also a military water bottle, bullet bag, flashlight, cable ties, etc. hung on the tactical vest...

These soldiers, who had experienced several battles and carried invisible murderous intent, gradually made those who were concerned feel helpless in their hearts.

Compare the messy militias in California, it can be said that they are like heaven and earth.

When they saw the heavy mortar being pulled by war horses, these people exclaimed in surprise.

Nothing else, because there are so many artillery pieces, there are a total of forty artillery pieces in sight, not counting the ninety Napoleonic 12-pounder cannons displayed as a salute under the Triumph Tower.

Since the heavy mortars were covered with camouflage dust jackets, they could actually see what the mortars really looked like.

But those ammunition trucks loaded with artillery shells also opened their eyes.

California's military, let alone professional ammunition carts, now doesn't even have the same model of carriages for loading artillery shells.

Look at these standard equipment of the Orientals, they are the army!

One of the spies gestured with his hand to indicate the length of the ammunition truck and came up with an answer that surprised even him.

"Did you see it? These Easterners use cylindrical cannonballs. I swear, this is definitely a new type of cannonball."

He shouted in disbelief, causing his companion next to him to frown and scold displeasedly:

"How do you know it's not propellant? Propellants are also cylindrical."

Hearing the scolding from his companion, the spy said disdainfully: "Didn't you see that there are no iron balls in the ammunition truck?"

Upon hearing this, his companion was also stunned, because the ammunition truck really did not see the box containing the iron balls.

He couldn't help but come to a conclusion that even he himself didn't dare to think about, that is, the troops composed of California militiamen might not necessarily be the opponents of these Easterners.

Although the number of militiamen is greater, judging from the sophisticated equipment now displayed by the Easterners, victory may not necessarily come with more people.
