New Ming Empire mixed in America

While Li Mingqi was busy with the equipment of the New Ming Empire, the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean welcomed a special group of passengers.

"This is Hawaii?"

The young man who had just stepped off the boat opened a bottle of cough syrup in his hand and poured it into his mouth.

"Yes, this is Hawaii as marked on the chart, but..."

After scanning the surrounding environment, the former passionate young man Winston also scratched his head a little.

I thought that when I came here, I would see a large group of uncivilized people such as indigenous people, but now it seems that there are countless white people and black people living here.

Especially when they saw hundreds of Chinese people with pigtails, it made them look a bit dreamy.

After 1860, Chinese people appeared on Hawaii Island. Of course, these Chinese people were not immigrants, but were sold as laborers to grow sugar cane here.

(It will take some time for Honolulu’s Chinatown to take shape. As for those tourist guides and the casual phrase “Chinese immigrants” in an encyclopedia, they ignore the sufferings of the Chinese workers in those days. It’s really forgetting their ancestors!)

At this time, there were not only British missionaries on the Hawaiian Island, but also a small church.

Numerous plantations, large and small, have appeared on the island. In the plantations, some black slaves or Chinese laborers work.

The Hawaiian Islands were still known as the Sandwich Islands at this time, but it was not until the late 19th century that they were gradually abandoned and renamed the Hawaiian Islands.

But at this time, Winston and his party landed not on the island of Hawaii (the big island) but on the city of Honolulu (the island of Oahu) where Honolulu is located.

Hawaii is an archipelago, consisting of 8 main islands (4 large and 4 small), 124 small islands, and reefs and spiers surrounding each island. (Encyclopedia information)

The port city of Honolulu was established during the original sandalwood trade. It connected Guangzhou in China and California on the west coast.

Although Daiying claimed that this place was protected by Daiying at this time, France later also declared its sovereignty here.

Later, even the United States announced that it had the right to manage or protect this place.

But after all the sandalwood trees here were cut down, the previous prosperity gradually returned to calm.

If it hadn't been for the vigorous development of the whaling industry and the emergence of plantations during this period, the economy of the Hawaiian Islands might have returned to its previous situation.

Nowadays, almost all the people here are white, because not only was this place visited and threatened by American warships in 1829.

In 1843 it was bombarded by British warships and briefly occupied.

It was bombarded and landed by the French in 1849.

And the above can only be known in later generations about other countries' threats to Hawaii, but few people have mentioned the things that the United States first did in Hawaii. (As for why everyone knows it)

And the most important thing is that it serves as a transit point for all merchant ships transporting Chinese labor in the Pacific.

This time they came here to find out for Li Mingqi the distribution of forces here and for immigration matters.

As for the unreal feeling they feel now, it comes from this city called Honolulu.

There are not only ambassadors from various countries but also their own armed personnel.

And during these years, white people from all over the world have enjoyed the treatment of being superior to others here.

The conflict between the local indigenous chiefs and the white people has become increasingly serious.

As a transit point for selling goods to the Far East, there are not only white factories and shops in the city of Honolulu, but also several Chinese sugar factories.

(I have to mention here that many of the large-scale Chinese workers after 1870 were brought here by these shitheads in the name of fellow countrymen)

"If you want to attack here in the future, this fortress is the target that must be captured!"

Looking at the fortress in the port area, Martin, who was used to cough syrup, said with some emotion.

"But under the attack of naval guns, this fortress is completely useless. You will know if you have the opportunity to see the battleships of our Xinming Empire."

Recalling how the Fort Fort in Sacramento was blown into ruins by naval guns, Winston, a man who came out of Sacramento, can be said to have the most say.

If he hadn't cooperated with those guys from the Lightning Gang, he might have become an unknown corpse in the ruins of Sacramento.

"Although I have never seen the battleships of our Xinming Empire, I believe what you say."

"But President Li once said that we should look at everything from the other side. So we still have to collect the situation of this fortress carefully."

After finishing speaking, Martin cleared his throat and was about to drink another bottle of cough syrup, but he remembered that he was overseas now and it would be better to save some of the stock.

During this time, he and Winston studied at the Umbrella Academy, where he met many like-minded companions.

Of course, everyone in the academy can be considered like-minded, but there are also some subtle differences.

For example, a small number of students believe that for the sake of the strength of the Xinming Empire, the remaining white people who are unwilling to join the umbrella should be exterminated.

Therefore, they are called radicals, and most of them have joined the Lightning Gang. Of course, the name of the Lightning Gang among them is the Lightning Roaring Assault Group, or the Lightning Group for short. (The other name is not allowed to be written)

Most of the rest of the people have the same concept, that is, they are proud to have joined the Xinming Empire, and they work very hard to make their skin not look so white.

Therefore, black hair dye and sun bathing are more popular in colleges.

Needless to say, these people worship Yuan Yuan Li in their hearts. The umbrella youth groups active in Europe were established based on them.

With the excitement of their first mission, Martin and Winston walked into this port city, where they wanted to collect enough information for the New Ming Empire.

Not only in the Hawaiian Islands, but also in London, the British capital of Europe, there are also a group of white people with lightning bolt tattoos on their arms.

These people had sharp eyes and serious faces. They walked into this historic European city in the name of caravan escorts.

Their mission is relatively simple, that is, to come and find out various information such as the time and number of British warships dispatched.

If given the chance, they would also give some color to Palmerston, the British consul who promoted all this.

Moreover, the caravan that came with them this time also carried a large number of brand-new pound banknotes.

They will purchase some battleships and other supplies for the New Ming Empire in London.

And a long-term and stable operation of the intelligence agency will be established here.
