New Ming Empire mixed in America

"Welcome to the Xinming Empire!"

Sun Laifu looked at Major Simpson coming down from the deck with his hands raised with a smile on his face.

"This is not the way a peace-loving captain should be treated."

With his hands raised in the air, Major Simpson actually said the above words in fluent Chinese.

At the same time, he tilted his head to let Sun Laifu see the bayonet behind him.

"Love peace? If you really loved peace you wouldn't be the first to fire!"

Sun Laifu scoffed at Simpson's statement. When they broke into the waters of Yingtianfu, they did not show the so-called love of peace he said.

"Does your love of peace mean sailing with the gun windows open?"

Sun Laifu had no intention of asking the other party to put down his hands. Instead, he circled around the other party and said:

"You are the first high-ranking military officer from your country to surrender. I think your government should be able to re-examine the strength between you and us after knowing this."

After saying this, without even looking at Simpson's livid face, he was ready to let the National Defense Forces take him away.

This lieutenant commander is barely enough to present prisoners at the Meridian Gate. By the way, the Stars and Stripes Banner also needs to be put away.

"You should save those innocent sailors. The war is over and they are innocent!"

Simpson said the sentence loudly and quickly in English before being dragged away.

The captured American navy sailors around looked at Simpson and suddenly became respectful.

"It's so close to the shore, they can swim back by themselves. And you just sank a nearby barge, so there are no ships left to rescue the sailors."

After Sun Laifu and other translators explained to him what Simpson had just shouted, he mercilessly exposed the other party's hypocrisy.

The U.S. navy captured thousands of people in total. As for why the three warships only took so many prisoners, you have to ask the sharks in the sea.

After the naval battle, the Jinyiwei had more work. Not only did they have to investigate Mayor Zhang's affairs, they were also responsible for interrogating the purpose of these sailors coming to Yingtian Mansion.

Logically speaking, the place where these warships should most appear is on the territory of the southern warlords.

You must know that the southern warlords are currently violently beating the northern government troops.

I didn't expect that Mr. Lin would still have the leisure to send warships to the west coast. Isn't this a pain in the ass?

As for why we know that these warships belong to the Beijing government, you can tell just by looking at the national flag.

The northern government military used the stars and stripes flag, while the southern warlords used a red flag with blue stars and a cross.

Facts have proven that the sailors of the Northern Army were not only quick to raise the white flag, they were also quick to confess.

Jin Yiwei only invited them to watch a practical demonstration of the electric chair, and these people began to confess one after another.

This made all the subsequent torture tools prepared by the Jin Yiwei useless, such as traditional soldering irons and splints.

Looking at the collected confessions, the Jinyiwei officer in charge of Yingtian Mansion took a deep breath.

"Quickly, use an encryption pen to make a copy of this information, and send it to the merchant ship as quickly as possible!"

After receiving the order, the Jin Yiwei did not dare to neglect and quickly went down to prepare.

After making these arrangements, the Jinyiwei officer looked out the window and murmured: "Are these foreigners crazy? Long live Lord Long Yan will definitely be furious."

At the same time, far away in the waters near Panama, more than a dozen merchant ships were trying to escape.

Behind them were five small Peruvian warships and two sailing battleships flying the Stars and Stripes.

A lookout put down his telescope and rang the bronze bell next to him vigorously.

After receiving the news, a messenger ran into the captain's room and asked the highest officer of the warship:

"Captain, we have entered the firing range. Do we want to open fire and sink those merchant ships?"

The captain did not answer, but asked: "How long until we reach California?"

The messenger thought for a while and replied: "It will take almost 20 days to arrive."

The captain nodded and said: "Give me the order, our warship should not fire its guns, just follow slowly behind."

Although the messenger didn't know why the captain did this, he still had to obey the commander's orders.

So after saluting, he ran out to deliver the order.

After the captain waited for the messenger to go out, he reached out and lifted off the white cloth that had just covered the chart, sat on the chair and started marking it again.

Marked on the chart are all the ports passed along the way.

When he added the small port he passed through Panama on the chart, he breathed a long sigh of relief. "It's still too far to get here from the east..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the captain's cabin. The captain covered the map again before answering: "Come in."

The door was opened by a man in a tuxedo with a mustache that made him look at least five years older.

"I wonder if Major Simpson successfully captured the Eastern ports."

After Tuxedo came in, he sat directly on the chair opposite to where he was doing his work.

"Without a port, we won't be able to get enough supplies back to Washington unless the Mexicans let us dock to resupply."

The captain took a sip of coffee and said, "It doesn't matter. If the Easterners can't take over the port, Major Simpson will help us find a supply point on the west coast."

"They have three battleships and more than 2,000 sailors. It is very easy for these people to find a place for us to supply."

After hearing this, Tuxedo curled his lips and said, "Don't you know Simpson's abilities? If he didn't have connections in the Navy Department, how could he be included in this operation?"

"The commander this time should be you, Wells, you should know that if that idiot Simpson is allowed to take charge of this plan, it will probably be a disaster."

Captain Wells did not feel complacent because of the compliment. He said modestly:

"Don't worry, the two captains in the Simpson fleet are very capable officers, and I believe they will have their own analytical skills."

After hearing this, Tuxedo nodded in agreement: "I almost forgot that they are your old classmates."

"How are you going to deal with those Peruvians? Do you really agree to help Castile scare Chile?"

Wells smiled, stood up, poured a cup of coffee for Tuxedo, and then said meaningfully:

"I only agreed to help him deter those ambitious Chileans, but I did not agree to him sending warships to deal with Chile."

"As long as we take his small fishing boats for a tour of Chile on our return trip, won't our promise be fulfilled?"

After drinking all the coffee in one breath, Wells listened to the sound of naval guns firing in the distance, smiled and said to Tuxedo:

"You see, they are more attentive to those Easterners than we are. This is not what we asked him to do."

Tuxedo walked to the window of the captain's room, looked at the Peruvian warship shrouded in white smoke in the distance, and said with a smile

"They were venting their anger. They heard that many of their merchant ships were seized by the Orientals, and their sailors and captains were publicly executed."

"I really don't know what these Peruvians are thinking. While doing business with the Orientals, they also want to do things secretly. The Orientals will definitely come back with revenge."

Wells walked to his side and watched with him the scene of Peruvian warships firing in the distance.

"After this time, the hatred between Peru and the Orientals cannot be easily resolved. Even if we cannot take back San Francisco this time, at least we can use Peruvians to hold off those Orientals."

"Our battle with the Southern Army is not very optimistic. If the Easterners choose to help the Southern Army, then our naval blockade plan will really become a joke."

Tuxedo also nodded and agreed: "Even if the Easterners want to help the Southern Army, their fleet will have to pass through Peru."

"And the Peruvian side is likely to intercept because of the relationship between the Orientals. In this case, the Orientals can be contained."

"At that time, the West Coast port would have lost its significance to the Confederate Army. Their agricultural products would still not be sold, and they would have no source of industry."

From the tone of the two men in the captain's room, there was no hint that they were worried about the future direction of the war, even though the Southern Army was now advancing towards the capital, Washington.

And their confidence lies in the northern industry. Whether it is shipyards or other factories, the southern army simply cannot compare with the north.

What the North is most worried about now is British intervention and their support for the Southern Army.

PS: I suddenly discovered that on the eve of the Civil War, the Northern Army’s navy did not have a rear admiral, so now it is changed to a major. Please forgive me, fellow officers.
