New Ming Empire mixed in America

**Qi said that he wanted to sell weapons, which was pure bragging, and to describe it in the terms of later generations, it was deterrence.

As long as they hold weapons that can threaten the British fleet, ** Qi believes that those people should be able to face up to the Chinese problem.

However, it is probably impossible to get the other party to stop using Chinese coolies.

Not to mention that the manor owners who brought the British around the world could not agree, even the officials who pretended to be Qing Dynasty probably could not agree.

As for whether ** Qidan is worried about bringing Britain to update warships?

It is not easy for even a dictatorial empire to completely change its appearance, let alone a country with a parliamentary system like Europe.

These people not only have to weigh the interests of various capitalists, but also consider the interests of military officers. In the end, Daiying probably has to hypocritically ask about the voice of the people.

After following this set of processes, the project will not be completed within three to five years, and then it will take time for production.

In 1860, the iron-clad battleships led by the British were launched, and they were much more professional than the two modified models in the Xinming Royal Fleet.

But in terms of combat effectiveness, the Xinming Royal Fleet, which has the advantage of artillery, can definitely inflict heavy damage on the opponent before the entire army is annihilated.

The same goes for weapons and equipment. Take what happened just now when the Xinming Empire defeated the Californian army on the west coast with advanced rifles. Will the American troops in the east immediately change their equipment?

The answer is definitely not!

Given the current economic situation in the United States, where the entire country is borrowing money, trying to replace weapons for all soldiers is almost like a fool's dream.

Let's not talk about whether the capitalists who have signed contracts with the government are willing to give up their orders, but let's talk about the current military general of the North Korean government army - Major General Ripley.

It can be said that with this famous figure in control of the army, advanced weapons will never enter the federal army. In this regard, Qi Qi is very confident about the integrity of the other party.

Out of self-interest, Major General Ripley opposed the army's risk of adopting any advanced weapons, including rejecting the famous Spencer repeating rifle.

In addition to military generals, there was Brigadier General McKim, who served as the main quartermaster in the Confederate Army in 1861. He was also an old friend of the Confederate Army.

At the beginning of the war, Brigadier General McKim awarded government contracts to unqualified suppliers. These suppliers reached a tacit agreement with McKim to provide considerable kickbacks while supplying military supplies.

It was not until 1862 that the matter was exposed and he was dismissed from office in 1863. This has already been a full three years. Can you believe it?

In addition, there are Senator Sprague who is engaged in prostitution business, Northern Army deserters who collect bounties, and the Secretary of State who relies on the war to survive the war.

-Simon Cameron, Brooks Brothers who provide inferior military uniforms.

In addition, there is the arms dealer who makes huge profits - Colt.

The Colt, which cost between $4 and $9 to produce, was sold to the British government for $12.50 and to American civilians for $14.50.

And the most unexpected thing is that he sells the same kind of drug to both the North and the South at a price as high as $25.

Some people make money while others lose money. DuPont raised the price of gunpowder from 16 cents per pound first to 18 cents, then to 26 cents, and finally to 30 cents.

As for why he lost money... because he successfully wiped out the northern federal government - the government has no money!

After the government ran out of money to pay the bill, it directly said: Labor and management will not pay, forcing DuPont to accept a loss of more than 500,000 US dollars. (So those shit-sucking officials who have been criticizing me know what is going on, right?)

Even the Xin Ming Empire was the same. Rifles alone were divided into three levels. The lowest level was the old breech-loading rifle used by the Ming Alliance Army.

The conventional rifle of the Xinming Empire is the Xinming Type 60 rifle uniformly used by soldiers of the National Defense Forces.

The highest level is the new rifle used by the Royal Guards. This new rifle, which is an imitation of the Garand rifle, has always been a weapon that Sun Laifu coveted.

As for why weapons should be classified, if you are a person with ordinary connections, ** Qi Hui would say: "Equip a batch, reserve a batch, and develop a batch."

If Liu Erhe had asked, **Qi would have told the truth, that is, he must be on guard against others!

The most elite weapons will definitely be equipped for use by the Royal Guards, and those weapons that have been replaced are used by the National Defense Forces. (For these three weapons, please see the Easter egg chapter in Chapter 156)

This fireworks display can be said to be very successful, allowing the envoys of the Three Kingdoms to see the strength of the Xinming Empire.

Gibbs was not very depressed after being rejected by the army. He was not a truly patriotic businessman. He just wanted to get a share of the weapon.

But the envoys from Chile and Bolivia were a little timid.

"Dear His Majesty the Emperor of the New Ming Dynasty, we in Chile are willing to form an alliance with your country. Our country's interests in the Atacama Desert can be shared equally with your country, including the profits from all guano."

The Chilean diplomat immediately expressed his thoughts and wanted to draw Li Qi into his team.

Anyway, the benefits must be distributed. Compared with those countries that have frictions with Chile, it would be better to distribute them to the Xinming Empire in California.

As for the interests of the Atacama Desert, it would be false for Qi Qi to say that he was not interested. Now that someone took the initiative to bring it up, he would not be polite and agreed directly.

In an era before the advent of chemical fertilizers, these bird droppings were very much needed by the people of the Xinming Empire.

There are also saltpeter, copper ore, etc., which are all minerals that the Xinming Empire urgently needs.

"NO, you can't do this!" Gibbs jumped up on the spot after hearing the agreement reached between the Chilean diplomats and Qi Qi.

For him, who controls the European guano market, this kind of agreement with Chilean diplomats has seriously threatened his interests.

"I have reached an agreement with the Peruvian government on the European guano business. Now what you are doing is a naked monopoly!"

With just Chile, Gibbs could still use some means to force the other party to compromise, but if the Xinming Empire joined in, he would have no choice.

"That's a matter between you and the Peruvian government. What does it have to do with us?"

** Qi didn't even look at Gibbs, who looked ugly. If this man hadn't held the title of Ambassador to the United Kingdom, he wouldn't have been alive until now.

Looking at the firelight of the bastion fortress in the distance, and then looking at the armored warships parked in the port area, Gibbs finally stopped.

If this were in Europe, with Dai Ying at his back, he could still get away with it, but in far away South America, Dai Ying's threat would be much smaller.

What's more, the emperor of the New Ming Empire in front of him still has a navy that can threaten Dai Ying.

"Also, the Chincha Islands are now the territory of the Xinming Empire, so..."

Speaking of this, **Qi looked at Gibbs with some amusement.

But what **Qi didn't expect was that Gibbs actually chose to acquiesce.
