New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 268 Aubrey: This is just a loss for Great Britain

The battle lasted from noon to evening, and unexpectedly ended with the victory of the National Defense Forces.

The remaining enemy troops of more than 10,000 were being chased and shot at by the Wehrmacht soldiers. These British soldiers were running away like scattered ducks in all directions in the wilderness.

The National Defense Forces' pursuit continued until late at night before gradually withdrawing their troops. Only a small number of scouts equipped with night vision goggles were still hanging behind the opponent's large forces to monitor.

The battle report was compiled the next day. Looking at the huge casualty figures, Li Mingqi couldn't help but sigh.

More than 1,500 soldiers were killed and nearly 3,000 were injured. Most of them were losses when facing the enemy head-on.

However, the sacrifice of these soldiers resulted in the victory of this battle. The number of Canadian servants who fell in front of the position has not yet been counted.

But it can be roughly calculated from the number of people who escaped. After this battle, Canada's originally small number of soldiers now lost almost 20,000.

This does not include the number of people who may go missing in the future. After all, in the wilderness, those soldiers who have no supplies may not be able to return to Canada alive.

As for the soldiers who led the troops...almost all were wiped out.

Except for a few cavalry companies who saw the opportunity and ran away quickly, the remaining soldiers were wiped out on the hillside and on the front battlefield.

After putting down the battle report, Li Mingqi met General Aubrey in the military camp, who claimed that he was the heir to Viscount Daiying.

Dai Ying and the senior officers of the Canadian Servant Army were almost captured by the mountain troops, which allowed Li Mingqi to calm down a little bit from the excessive casualties among the soldiers.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I only surrender to you on behalf of the British Expeditionary Force. I hope you can let go of those soldiers who are eager to return to their homeland and stop ordering your soldiers to continue the pursuit."

As soon as they met, Aubrey stated her request, which made Li Mingqi look at him a few more times.

"Do you know what your next fate will be?"

Li Mingqi looked at the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force who seemed very calm and asked curiously.

"We will be used as bargaining chips by you to negotiate with my government. In the end, you will use some concessions in exchange for Great Britain's forgiveness and withdraw the fleet that is about to arrive here."

Aubrey expressed his thoughts and looked at Li Mingqi curiously.

For this young man who has been described by the media from various European countries as the devil in the world, the initiator of another yellow disaster, the evil emperor of the East... and many other titles.

Aubrey actually admired him very much, because in this young man, he saw the shadow of his old friend.

The old Junker who kept running for the rise of Prussia - Bismarck.

I don’t know how that guy is doing in France recently.

Pulling back his wandering thoughts, Aubrey looked at Li Mingqi and continued:

"I think your plan cannot succeed, because this failure is only the failure of the army. Those guys in the Navy will not give up their easy-to-get military exploits just because of the army's failure."

Li Mingqi shook his head, looked at this seemingly very wise old guy, and asked with a smile:

"You call this rout a temporary defeat?"

Without waiting for the other party to refute, Li Mingqi continued: "You made a mistake, that is, I have no intention of using you to force Great Britain, as you call it, to give up the plan to dispatch warships."

"The system of your country is just as you said, and it will not give up the plan to dispatch warships. Because your dispatch of troops this time is not as righteous as what the newspapers said."

Walking up to Aubrey, who was wearing a red double-breasted general's uniform, Li Mingqi handed him a rough battle report on the casualties of the British soldiers.

After receiving the battle report, Aubrey's originally calm expression slowly began to stiffen, then he raised his head and glared at Li Mingqi, shouting:

"You focused on our British soldiers from the very beginning?"

Li Mingqi took a few steps back to avoid the opponent's spittle, and then waved his hand to stop the imperial guard who raised the handle of his knife and smashed it at Aubrey.

Looking at the somewhat angry Aubrey, Li Mingqi said slowly:

"You are right. In this battle, our soldiers are targeting the British soldiers you mentioned, and the pursuit of those cavalry has not stopped yet."

"By the way, there are also those soldiers in charge of logistics. They are really pitiful. They didn't even understand what happened on the front line, so they were defeated by my soldiers..." Gu

After a few words of pretentious regret, Li Mingqi continued: "I am very much looking forward to the day when your fleet comes, because that is when our New Ming Empire announces to the world..."

Raising his voice a little, Li Mingqi continued: "Declare the weakness of Great Britain and let all colonies around the world stand up and resist your cruel rule!"

In fact, what Li Mingqi said may not be considered unreasonable in a certain sense.

Although Daiying is now the richest country in the world, this wealth is very abnormal.

Because the distribution of wealth in Daiying has always been uneven, the contrast between rich and poor is very obvious.

On one side, the nobles lived in their own palace-like manors. On the other side, there were dilapidated thatched huts where the British peasants lived.

On the one hand, it is the comfortable and comfortable life of factory owners. On the other hand, it is the desperate struggle for survival of unemployed workers.

The living standards of people in the UK are so different that the gap between them is like the gap between heaven and hell.

That's why Li Mingqi now strongly advocates the people of the empire to develop their own careers.

Not only because the empire has fewer people but more emperors, the bigger reason is to tie up the people of the empire and prevent their thoughts of returning to their roots from taking over the mainstream.

As for why people are not encouraged to join factories as workers, it is because the world is now at the cusp of the second industrial revolution.

During this period, various inventions emerged in endlessly in the world, especially in the Xinming Empire.

So it's not a good job to be a worker in a factory now.

But Li Mingqi still strongly supported becoming a factory owner. Not only would he provide loan support, he would even provide them with workers.

Yes, they are workers.

In order to counter the one-sided smear campaign by the European media, Li Mingqi began to advocate that countries around the world introduce workers' rights protection laws.

He even drafted a rough draft of the labor law and published it publicly around the world.

The workers' benefits and obligations are written clearly and in great detail, and the various guilds that have just emerged in Daiying are highly praised.

Of course, within the Xinming Empire, Li Mingqi prohibited the reprinting of useless articles.

It is this kind of initiative that has greatly changed Li Mingqi's impression among the British people, especially the working class.

Li Mingqi also used the system within Foxconn as an explanation. A large amount of written evidence and photos convinced outsiders of what Li Mingqi said.

But they don't know that Foxconn is actually the reserve base of the Umbrella Youth League, and Li Mingqi is very concerned about it.

As for the white workers in other factories...Li Mingqi expressed that he respects the factory owners' freedom of employment.

What's more, the welfare conditions of any factory in the Xinming Empire are inferior to those of factories in other countries in the world.

Otherwise, it would not be possible for those white workers to still be working honestly in the factory.

The San Francisco port area will no longer have a large number of white people who come to try their luck in the Xinming Empire to be stranded all year round.

Happiness comes from comparison. The factories of the Xinming Empire at least treat white workers as human beings.

The lighthouse of the world is now Dai Ying, but the lighthouse of white workers is now His Majesty Li of the Xinming Empire.

After ordering the Guards to send General Aubrey back to the prison where the officers were concentrated.

Li Mingqi called Liu Erhe and said:

"After we have counted the bodies of the Canadian and British soldiers, we will take a look at the battlefield."

"Let future generations know what will happen if the enemy invades the Xinming Empire! The martial spirit cannot be lost, and such things as 'thinking sissies' should not appear!"

There is really nothing wrong with what Li Mingqi said, because the battlefield took place within the territory of the Xinming Empire.

Although only a small half is within the current borders of the Xinming Empire, it is an indisputable fact that the British expeditionary force will invade the Xinming Empire.
