New Ming Empire mixed in America

Joseph Jr.'s solution was to sell the Alcatraz fortress outside the San Francisco port.

No way, it's too close to San Francisco.

And because of the $500 issue last time, a lot of his soldiers ran away.

And because that bastard Davis was swaggering around, many of his subordinates went to the Easterners to serve as "Ming Xiejun".

If I don't think of a solution, it will definitely be the result of being with my father.

Therefore, I have no choice but to sell the fortress. I am leaving it to be useful and loyal to the country!

After giving a military salute to the defense of Eastern Washington, Joseph Jr. had someone send a telegram to San Francisco.

Seeing the telegram sent by Liu Erhe really opened Li Mingqi's eyes.

The dark code above marked the price of Alcatraz Fortress, and even the rebates and introduction fees were written in great detail.

Although it was signed "Confederate Loyalist," I knew without a second thought that it was from the 9th Infantry Regiment of Alcatraz.

Because at this time, San Francisco could only receive telegrams from Alcatraz Fortress.

The mayor of Oakland cut the telegraph line to San Francisco in order to show his loyalty, and the towns near San Francisco have been very honest recently.

So this is what the lice on the bald man's head clearly show.

But Li Mingqi really didn't want to do this business.

Because as long as the Alcatraz Fortress is still in California's hands, the Port of San Francisco will still operate normally.

Once the Alcatraz Fortress also falls into the hands of Li Mingqi, California will definitely cut off the Carquinez Strait connecting California and the port of San Francisco.

If we just rely on those European merchant ships that come to the west coast for who knows how often, San Francisco port will probably not see a ship for ten days and a half.

If the route to California is cut off, we will not be able to import various supplies from California in large quantities.

Although the empire has now accumulated a lot of food and various materials after such a long time, Li Mingqi wanted to buy out California's war preparation materials such as food and gunpowder.

If there are fewer enemies, the Xin Ming Empire will have more enemies, doubling the chances of winning both inside and outside.

In addition, the bills for various California stocks that were printed in large quantities during this period are still waiting to be shipped to California for sale, so Alcatraz Fortress cannot yet buy them.

But we can't refuse directly. What if the commander of the 9th Infantry Regiment slaps his head and leaves.

After thinking for a long time, Li Mingqi finally thought of a good way, which was to go public through a backdoor scheme.

The Alcatraz Fortress can be purchased, but the 9th Infantry Regiment cannot leave either.

Therefore, we can only pay to hire some soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment to stay at the Alcatraz Fortress.

So little Joseph received a telegram that was even more ridiculous than the one he sent.

Although the telegram replied that the Xinming Empire agreed in principle to purchase the Alcatraz Fortress, there was a condition.

That is to allow the Xinming Empire to publish a secret recruitment advertisement on Alcatraz Island.

When little Joseph saw the job advertisement, he decided on the spot to help promote it.

Recruitment:

Due to the needs of the development of Alcatraz Island, the Xinming Empire decided to recruit some soldiers from the original 9th ​​Infantry Regiment.

Interested parties should go to their respective superiors to issue a list of wages and benefits signed by the superiors.

Benefits: Salary and benefits doubled!

Exclusive treatment for officers:

For those who have served as company commanders or above, their salary and benefits will be doubled and increased by half.

An officer can get a reward of one hundred dollars for every soldier he introduces, and a reward of five hundred dollars for every officer he introduces (note: paid in three months).

Little Joseph roughly counted the number of his men, and then he found that just by introducing soldiers and officers.

The entire Ninth Infantry Regiment, which only has more than 500 people left, can bring him nearly 80,000 US dollars in income. Adding the price of the Alcatraz Fortress and the supplies in the fortress, he can get a high price of more than 200,000 US dollars.

.

Although it says that only banknotes can be given, banknotes are also money.

When you arrive in Sacramento, you can exchange them for Spanish gold coins or Oriental aluminum crown coins at the bank.

With this money, let alone rebuilding the family's glory, it will simply make the family shine brightly.

What's the point of being a commander? Isn't it better to be a rich generation?

So within a few days, Liang Youwen of the Third Regiment received a special mission, which was to send someone to secretly take over the Alcatraz Fortress.

He discovered it after he took the soldiers of the third regiment on a merchant ship and boarded the fortress isolated outside San Francisco in battle formation.

The defenders above were actually lining up to welcome the arrival of the third regiment.

Even these people, from officers to soldiers, all put on the same Ming Xie army uniforms as Davis's men.

The only one who did not wear the uniform of the Ming Xiejun was little Joseph, but he did not continue to wear the uniform of the 9th Infantry Regiment, but changed into a very decent tuxedo.

As long as he stays on Alcatraz Island for three months, he can get all the banknotes, so he has now assumed the status of a rich man in advance.

"Welcome the soldiers of the New Ming Empire to set foot on this fortress."

Little Joseph greeted him enthusiastically, and opened his arms to show his enthusiasm, but was blocked by Liang Youwen's bayonet.

Looking at this man's dead dog-like appearance, Liang Youwen wanted to throw him directly into the sea to feed the fish.

Sen Ming Gongzhi to deal with little Joseph, he led the soldiers of the third regiment to quickly take over all key areas in the fortress, including the arsenal, forts, and telegraph stations.

The merchant ship that sent the Wehrmacht soldiers to the island did not leave, but picked up all the soldiers of the former 9th Infantry Regiment except the officers and began to return.

The remaining officers will live under the surveillance of the Wehrmacht for the next three months.

And they have only one mission, which is to harass the congressmen in Sacramento with telegrams from time to time.

And just show up when a merchant ship passes by to make the other party think that the Alcatraz Fortress is still in California's hands.

In this way, the entire Kinmen Strait has been completely controlled by the Xinming Empire.

Li Mingqi, who should have been happy, now stood gloomily in the Xinming Empire Martyrs Garden, watching thirteen National Defense Force soldiers being buried in the cemetery.

"I'll give you half a month. I want to see all those so-called alliance volunteers become Jingguan!"

Li Mingqi was really angry this time, because just the night before, a group of people ambushed the roadside and attacked the National Defense Force patrol.

Thirteen Wehrmacht soldiers were killed, and the limbs of the dead soldiers were cut off and put together. A letter similar to a declaration was placed on them.

In the letter, they claimed to be volunteers of the California Alliance, and this incident was just the beginning.

The most important thing is that they also took away the soldiers' Xinming 60-style rifles.

This incident poured cold water on Li Mingqi, who was originally a little swollen.

The biggest shortcoming of the National Defense Force is that the number of people is small but the area that needs to be patrolled is too large. It is only a matter of time before an accident occurs.

So Sun Laifu, who was reprimanded by Li Mingqi, immediately summoned all the regiment leaders for a meeting after returning to the National Defense Forces camp.

"Shrink our defense line, and then send soldiers to search along the patrol area yesterday. I don't believe they left any traces."

"Also, from now on, I will lay mines in places where soldiers cannot patrol. I will make those bastards pay the price!"

Sun Laifu gritted his teeth as he looked at the photocopied letter left by the volunteers of the California Alliance.
