New Ming Empire mixed in America

The military parade shocked the white people in the San Francisco port area.

Just the nine rounds of ninety Napoleon twelve-pound cannons made many people give up their intention to attack the New Ming Empire.

For example, little Joseph mixed in with the crowd during Li Mingqi's military parade.

Before the military parade was over, he ran back to the Alcatraz Fortress where he now occupies and never came out again.

And the mayor of Oakland, which is across the sea from San Francisco, thought he would take advantage of the large-scale gathering of militias in California to give him a tough blow.

Now it seems that I was really a little distracted at that time.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, former San Francisco Mayor Frank said with great gratitude to the Oakland Mayor who came to him to question the specific situation of the Orientals: "Thank you so much, my friend!"

The corner of his mouth twitched. The mayor of Auckland really wanted to throw the old guy in front of him into the sea to feed the fish.

So he asked in a stiff tone:

"Why didn't you tell me clearly the specific strength of those Easterners at that time?"

Frank was stunned. What is the specific strength of the Orientals?

If I knew, could I be here?

You must know that I, the mayor of San Francisco, am much better than you, the mayor of Oakland, who relies on San Francisco for development.

Although he thought so, he still gave the mayor of Auckland an idea:

"Don't worry my friend, there are still many black people hiding in San Francisco. As long as you can provide supplies to those black people, I think they will definitely give the Orientals a headache."

"Think about it, my friend. Those Orientals will definitely not have time to trouble you before they deal with the black people."

Hearing the other party mention black people, the mayor of Oakland couldn't help but look up and down at Frank, who was almost beaten to death by a black man.

Want to see if his head was damaged?

"My friend, please don't look at me like this, I do all this for the Federation!"

Frank said in a very sincere tone.

At this moment, an attendant walked into the ward, first glanced at Frank lying on the bed, then whispered a few words into the ear of the mayor of Auckland, and handed him a telegram slip.

After reading the telegram in his hand, the mayor of Oakland looked at Frank strangely and said, "Look, this is an order from Sacramento."

Frank took the telegram and read it, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

I saw it read: 'In view of Frank's inaction, Frank is hereby dismissed from his position as mayor of San Francisco and arrested and imprisoned.'

"Fuck that bastard Frank Stanford! Isn't it all the result of following his arrangements that I'm like this?"

"Now he actually wants to put the responsibility for losing San Francisco on my head. My friend, you must help me!"

Now Frank is almost collapsed, if he is really responsible for the loss of San Francisco and goes to jail.

What awaits him is not just the end of his political career, but also the end of his political career. (It’s a mouthful)

"Then my friend, I would like to ask, why should I... help you?"

Mayor Orange imitated Frank's tone of voice, especially the phrase "my friend".

"I...my friend, don't forget, your current situation is exactly the same as mine before."

"When the Orientals come over, how do you think that guy from Stanford will deal with you?"

Frank excitedly grabbed the hem of the mayor of Auckland's clothes and finished this sentence as fast as he could in his life.

The mayor of Auckland thought for a moment, nodded, and said sincerely: "Thank you for the initial reminder."

At the very beginning?

Frank didn't understand why the other party said that for a while, but he soon came to his senses and shouted: "Frank, you mean black people!"

"No, there is still you!" The mayor of Auckland gently knocked off Frank's hand and continued: "Those Orientals are now offering a very high price to reward you."

Li Mingqi was very satisfied with the mayor of Auckland's decisive resignation.

This military parade not only united the hearts of the people of the Xinming Empire, but also shocked the mine owners in the nearby mountains.

Now even the mayor of Auckland has sent people to send Frank over.

Although the other party did not mention the bounty, Li Mingqi still generously asked the messenger to bring him a few 'luxury goods' that were on sale in the supermarket in the port area as gifts.

During the military parade, Li Mingqi did not allow the National Defense Forces to display rotating machine guns and light mortars.

If all the trump cards were revealed, those people in California would probably be desperate.

Although the rotating machine gun has been used in combat, judging from the urinary behavior of the US government in this era, those congressmen will not believe it without photos.

Later scholars specifically examined the corruption phenomenon in the United States from 1815 to 1975 and drew a "corruption index" curve.

It shows that there were three periods of high corruption in American history, namely around 1840, 1857-1861, and 1868-1876. (Sponsored by Du Niang)

This period was called the 'Gilded Age', and a famous journalist named Lincoln summed up the social atmosphere at that time:

"The people are not pure and blameless, and the culture of corruption and lawlessness is the American culture."

Therefore, Li Mingqi was not afraid that the Ninth Infantry Regiment, which had just been defeated by him and was huddled in the Alcatraz Fortress and did not dare to come out, could convince the California legislators that they were not defeated by incompetence, but by the so-called New Ming Empire.

on the repeating machine gun.

In fact, there are some powerful weapons nowadays, such as the Spencer rifle that is loaded with bullets in the butt.

Although the Spencer rifles of this period had some minor shortcomings, their ferocious firepower was comparable to the large bolt guns of the New Ming Empire.

But as mentioned before, this kind of gun would not be purchased until 1863, after Spencer barged in front of Lincoln with a gun.

There was also the Sharps M1859, a rifle that could be said to be relatively advanced at the time, but was abandoned by the War Department because it cost $35 per rifle.

Instead, the army was equipped with the Springfield m1855 muzzle-loading gun, which cost only 12 US dollars. (The pseudo-Qing ministers called them experts)

Therefore, Li Mingqi is completely emboldened now, because the real enemy of the California congressmen is in the Department of the Army.

Inside the Alcatraz Fortress, little Joseph looked at the San Francisco port in a daze with a telescope.

He was thinking about why his family kept failing at the hands of the Orientals.

Finally he came to a conclusion, that is money!

Because those Easterners are rich, their soldiers are all big and round.

Because those Easterners were rich, their soldiers used advanced weapons.

Because those Easterners were rich, their number of artillery was dozens of times their own.

Little Joseph slowly exhaled. If he wanted to defeat the Easterners, he must keep his soldiers fed, clothed and equipped with advanced weapons.

But to do this you need money.

Where does the money come from?

The answer is that there is money in the East.

So he made a decision, that is, to find a way to get money from the Orientals, and then use it on soldiers, and finally defeat the Orientals.

But if you try to steal money, you will definitely get beaten, so now there is only one way...
