New Ming Empire mixed in America

After another half-month delay in Lima, all the immigrants were sent away.

Since there is no need to consider saving money, supplies will be carried out at every port, so the space saved on these immigrant ships is used to load people.

This is also the reason why the people of the empire can be sent away quickly.

"Long live my lord, there is a Chilean envoy outside asking to see him. He says he is here to intercede for Wells."

Liu Erhe said with a grimace the envoy's appearance and request.

During this period, Lu Weiming was left in San Francisco to sort out Jin Yiwei's work, so Liu Erhe is still concurrently doing Jin Yiwei's work during ** Qi's trip.

Now he not only has to arrange the guards' duty, but also worry about the intelligence collection of the imperial guards.

"Who is Wells?" **Qi asked doubtfully, but after he finished speaking, he remembered the American Navy lieutenant colonel who was sent back to Chile some time ago.

"Let him in. I want to hear his reasons for letting me let go of the war criminal named Wells."

After saying that, **Qi started to continue drawing.

There is a stack of A4 printing paper on his desk, and on one of them is a simple structural diagram of a paraglider.

Now the Royal Research Institute of the Xinming Empire can operate independently. For example, scientific research has been separated from military design.

For example, Lao Li from the Royal Academy of Sciences, after he led a team to design a super crude version of the Katyusha, he lost interest in this too expensive weapon.

He went back to study his old profession of repeating machine guns.

And Zhang Yu, the president of the Royal Academy, is diving headfirst into the reform of the academy and cannot extricate himself.

Therefore, without suitable manpower, ** Qi had to personally 'design' some simple mechanical products for later generations, preparing to broaden the horizons of the rest of the research institute members.

His drawings not only include paragliders, but also bicycles, tricycles, etc. These can all be researched within a period of time.

In addition, the research direction of airships was proposed. The source of hydrogen required by the airships was electrolyzed water, and a hydropower station was used to cooperate with the chemists who were "invited" to conduct relevant research.

Although hydrogen is dangerous, if you want to achieve aerial bombing, airships are more reliable.

**Qi also considered drones, but in this era, a hundred small drones are not as effective as one airship in air combat.

Not only can it be used for aerial bombing, but it can also be used to transport people and hoist artillery.

Of course, the most important thing is to reserve skills and climb the technology tree.

The airship is only the first step, and then we can carry out related research on aircraft.

If it is used for battlefield reconnaissance, you can also try using drones. As for the mysterious operation of using drones to sneak into enemy camps and conduct reconnaissance...

If it is a small drone, without any modern base station, the control distance is only a few dozen meters. Any further away will be invisible to the human eye.

As for large drones, they can indeed be controlled remotely, and some can even be controlled through a gimbal. But without GPS positioning, it is indeed difficult to fly back from such a long distance.

Especially for large drones used for spraying chemicals and fire-fighting, the sound may be heard before anyone even gets close.

So for the current Xinming Empire, the drones that can be purchased on a certain treasure... have very limited military uses.

This envoy is the envoy responsible for escorting Wells. Since the last time he discovered that the Xinming Empire treated Wells and others very roughly, he has started to move up and down.

But the result obviously did not meet his expectations. Not to mention improving Wells' current situation, he could not even see the face of Qi Qi.

So after many failures, the envoy could only borrow Chile's skin to handle his own private affairs.

"Dear Eastern Emperor, I am here to inquire about the safety of Major Wells. When will he be released from his illegal imprisonment?"

The messenger stood in the hall, looked at Qi Qi very calmly, and asked Qi Qi to give him the answer.

**Qi looked at the envoy in surprise and said, "Illegal detention? Can you tell me what legal detention is?"

There are many weird things in the world, such as those old people and young people who brag about the prosperous age of Qing, Kangxi and Qian dynasties every day, citing the so-called per capita income at that time.

He opened his mouth and said that the per capita income of the people at that time was higher than that of people in most European countries, so it was a prosperous age and the people's life was the happiest among all dynasties in China.

For such a stupid person, it's hard not to let people fight against him.

So when faced with the envoy's question, **Qi was unusually not too angry.

"Legal detention is of course to give Major Wells treatment commensurate with his status. After all, he is a top-class gentleman..."

The envoy saw that **Qi was easier to talk to and felt a glimmer of hope. He immediately started talking.

"Soldiers who participate in wars do not commit war crimes. Soldiers who fight wars obey orders. Only those who plan wars commit war crimes. Therefore, soldiers after the war should enjoy the treatment they deserve and the right to go home."

**Qi nodded, indicating that he understood what the other party said, and asked:

"In other words, according to your statement, I still have to release Wells, a war criminal who committed heinous crimes against the people of our country?"

The messenger nodded and said, "Yes, soldiers are just obeying orders. They should not be treated like this by you."

**Qi was so angry that he laughed at his remarks.

It is true for soldiers to obey orders, but for soldiers who take pleasure in massacring the people of the Xinming Empire, Qi Qi swore that he would not let even one of them go.

"I'm sorry, the Xinming Empire does not have this law. It has not existed before and will not exist in the future!"

"Those soldiers who slaughtered innocent civilians are war criminals according to the laws of the Xinming Empire. They need to be punished by the laws of the Xinming Empire. Their final destination is hell!"

After saying this, **Qi called Liu Erhe on the spot and asked him to inform Liu Lizhi that the American navy soldiers who were originally going to be sent to Chincha Islands to dig up bird droppings were hanged instead.

"According to your statement, your soldiers also massacred innocent civilians in Peru!"

The messenger loudly refuted what Xi Qi said. In his opinion, the emperor of the East was simply making excuses. He was a complete tyrant, a devil, and an inferior person, and he should go to hell.

"Innocent civilians?" ** Qi stood up from the dragon throne, stared down at the envoy standing in the hall and asked:

"Those who abuse, oppress, and drive my compatriots as slaves, do you think they are innocent civilians?"

"In my heart, the life of any of my compatriots is more precious than the lives of those animals. If you dare to use my compatriots as slaves or coolies, you must be prepared for my revenge, no matter who the other party is."

Walking to a position three meters away from the envoy, **Qi continued:

"I don't know what kind of mentality you have to say such things, but when you speak, you have to remember your current identity."

"Are you here to protest against me on behalf of Chile?"

The messenger, who was completely suppressed by **Qi's momentum, said after hearing **Qi's question:

"I am representing myself now, but I feel that no matter which country you are from, they will not agree with what you are doing, so please behave yourself!"

After speaking, the envoy wanted to leave, but was stopped by the Imperial Guards after taking a few steps.

"When you talk about all the countries, do you mean there are countries that are predominantly white?"

"If that's the case, then I'm sorry, the Xinming Empire is not dominated by white people, and our culture is different."

"So these soldiers who slaughtered my people, one by one, they will get the punishment they deserve, not the treatment they deserve!"

After **Qi finished speaking, he took a deep breath, waved his hand, and asked the Guards to take this idiot to the Chilean diplomats and ask them what Chile meant.

After the envoy was taken away, Qi Qi sat back on the dragon chair again.

He would never do something like let a war criminal die in his own home. The New Ming Empire's approach was to retaliate in kind.

What should I do if others don’t respect the Xinming Empire?

Of course, bring out the artillery and let the other party talk properly.

Do we still expect to use Confucianism to influence others?
