New Ming Empire mixed in America

The Dreiser needle gun was installed on a large scale in the Prussian army in 1841.

In 1848, the secret of Dresser's needle gun was made public, but it did not attract people's attention.

This kind of rifle uses paper-cased bullets. After the trigger is pulled, the long rod-shaped firing pin on the bolt pierces the paper cartridge case and hits the flash cap inside, igniting the propellant and ejecting the bullet.

This kind of rifle would not be gradually taken seriously by people until the Prussian-Danish War in 1864.

And its record of defeating Austria in seven weeks in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 made it the new favorite.

Now, it is what Li Mingqi hopes to see by equipping the Mexican army and letting them cause some trouble to Nasan.

As for those simple grenades, they are simple versions that were eliminated by the Xin Ming Empire. Now the Xin Ming Empire has used newer models of oval grenades.

After General Zaragoza walked out of Juarez's office, there was no resistance to the Xinming Empire's purchase of Baja California.

"Don't forget the two thousand crown coins you promised me. There are also weapons and equipment for 10,000 people. These equipment are the key to convincing Juarez."

General Zaragoza picked up a glass of red wine and clinked the glass with his tuxedo, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Are you really not afraid that the Orientals will continue to invade Mexico after taking Baja California?"

Tuxedo put down his cup and asked curiously.

He was really curious as to why he could bribe this general with only two thousand crown coins.

"I am going to the front line. The money is left to my family. As for the weapons and equipment, they will be important materials for me to use to defend the city of Puebla."

Sighing, General Zaragoza poured himself a glass of red wine again and said:

"There are still many people in Congress who have illusions about getting three points. They want to achieve their goals through negotiation, but this is obviously impossible."

After saying this, he drank the red wine in the glass again and walked out of the street tavern.

Looking at the other person's back, Tuxedo shook his head and put the half-empty bottle of red wine he brought back into his suitcase.

His mission has been completed, and he only needs to wait for the Xin Ming Empire to travel and make their promise.

For materials such as weapons and equipment, Li Mingqi shipped them directly to the port city of Acapulco in Mexico without any delay.

This city is the closest west coast port city to the Mexican capital, so sending it here is equivalent to sending it to Mexico City.

The National Defense Forces led by Sun Laifu also began to land in various port towns in Baja California on troop ships.

At the same time, Davis's Ming Confederate Army also came here, and their mission was to 'employ' local residents to build military fortresses and military ports at the southernmost tip of Baja California.

After acquiring Baja California, the Xinming Empire can be said to have completely taken control of the west coast of North America.

The land on the Mexican side is relatively easy to receive, but Alaska on the Russian side is a little more troublesome.

Because there are not many people there now, Li Mingqi just asked Song He's navy to go around and inform the aborigines that the place had changed hands.

Li Mingqi has no intention of deploying troops there for the time being. Now is not the future Alaska after gold is discovered, so there is no need for the already small National Defense Force to be stationed in batches.

Now the 1st Brigade of the National Defense Force has advanced to the border of New Mexico.

At this time, Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, had been occupied by the Confederate Army, but there were still many militias supporting the Northern Confederacy in New Mexico.

After seeing the Wehrmacht soldiers, these people began to retreat along the road to the rear.

Finally, nearly 10,000 soldiers of all colors were gathered together, and they joined forces with the Southern Army to form a confrontation with the National Defense Forces near the capital, Santa Fe.

"Brigadier, do we need to show them some color?"

A company commander standing next to Liu Lizhi put down his telescope and said: "Those guys are so arrogant. Do you really think we dare not bombard their urban areas?"

At this time, the First Brigade only has one regiment of soldiers here, and the rest of the troops are maintaining the stability of the logistics line.

Because this time we are fighting in enemy territory, stable logistics is essential.

"Don't be impulsive. We just need to occupy this place now. After the railway is built, this will be the place where the Xinming Empire belongs."

Looking again at the militiamen from both sides who had been hanging around in front of the National Defense Forces soldiers' positions, Liu Lizhi smiled and rejected the company commander's proposal.

But sometimes things don't develop as planned.

On the morning of the next day, a large group of people suddenly appeared, which made the Wehrmacht soldiers curious.

The residents were holding countless banners and wooden signs with slogans in their hands, shouting slogans loudly as they walked.

They were residents who gathered from various nearby towns and came to protest against the invasion of their homes by the Xin Ming Empire.

"We want those people in the east to know our solidarity and tell them to go back to their west coast!"

A leader with a loud voice raised the wooden sign in his hand high and shouted loudly to the residents who had organized themselves:

"This is our homeland. We paid a huge price to build the town from the attacks of those damn Indians. Now those Easterners want to take it away. Can you agree?"

Following his shout, more than two thousand residents who followed immediately responded:

"We can't agree, this is our land, get rid of those Eastern villains!"

"Yes, let those yellow-skinned monkeys go back, preferably back to their east, the west coast belongs to us too!"

Various shouts resounded from the front of the defense line of the Wehrmacht soldiers.

"Martin, we can't go any further, look at that warning sign."

A companion grabbed Martin, who wanted to continue leading the residents forward.

Because there was a sign standing in front of them, which read: 'The territory of the Xinming Empire, anyone who enters without permission will be responsible for the consequences!'

"You coward, if you don't dare to go, get back behind your sister!"

"This is our land, not those of the Easterners. What qualifications do they have to place a sign here?"

After finishing speaking, Martin kicked the sign down angrily and continued to lead the residents forward.

Liu Lizhi, who rushed over after receiving the news, only smiled when he saw this scene and did not order the shooting.

These Americans seemed ridiculous to him. If they could gain land by marching, then he would be willing to take the National Defense Forces to march every day.

But the sarcastic expression on his face soon froze.

Because some of the residents actually ran out with the Sanchen flag of the Xinming Empire and large cardboard with Li Mingqi's face printed on it.

The next scene made all the National Defense Force soldiers burst into jealousy.

I saw those people actually lit it on fire within the range of the National Defense Forces, and they also let out bursts of cheers.
