New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 296: Have some fun for the Northern Federation

Li Mingqi gave full authority to Chen Hong to deal with a series of problems that arose in Peru.

Now Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has just been established, and Li Mingqi doesn't know much about this aspect, so he can only leave it to these ministers to explore.

However, the problem in Mexico gave Li Mingqi some headaches.

It is now the beginning of May, and because Mexico has accepted the weapons and equipment from the Xinming Empire, it has stubbornly resisted the attack of the Nazi army.

However, due to insufficient training of the soldiers and the leadership of Mexican conservatives, the city of Puebla was surrounded in the past few days.

The Mexican soldiers relied on street fighting to engage in a desperate struggle with the Nazi army.

This time the Mexican envoy brought a personal letter from the Mexican commander-in-chief Juarez, in which he implored Li Mingqi to send troops to Mexico to prevent Nasan's further attack.

But now that the New Ming Empire is fully preparing for war and leading the British, there is no time to care about the life and death of Mexico.

Besides, Mexico resisted for a long time without the support of the New Ming Empire. Now that it has the weapons and equipment of the New Ming Empire, it will definitely take longer and more losses to defeat Mexico than in history.

As for whether they will launch an attack on the New Ming Empire after defeating Mexico?

It's impossible. The scope of influence of the conservatives who colluded with Nazionale is limited to the vicinity of the Mexican capital. If they go deeper, they will have nothing to do.

Moreover, the war was at its most intense after Mexico lost its capital. At that time, it could be said that everyone was united in fighting against Nazo's army.

After thinking about this, Li Mingqi rejected the Mexican envoy's request to send troops, and told the other party with Dai Ying's immediate threat.

In fact, if Nasan hadn't sent someone to threaten Li Mingqi, Li Mingqi would have had no interest in the war in Mexico.

After sending away the missing Mexican envoy, Li Mingqi prepared to transfer back the 1st and 3rd brigades stationed at the Texas border.

At this time, the Jin Yiwei also sent back the news that someone from the Northern Federation, Lin, had promised to lead the British to send troops to the New Ming Empire.

Looking at this news, Li Mingqi was a little confused, because now the Southern Alliance was suppressing the Northern Federation and beating them hard.

Because of Li Mingqi's participation, the two sides started a brutal fight near Washington, making Washington a meat grinder for both the North and the South.

Moreover, at this time, the Northern Federation had already caused strong dissatisfaction among the newly immigrated Irish because Lin's Congress passed a new conscription bill.

The draft bill requires everyone over the age of 20 and under 45 to join the military, and as long as you pay $300, you can be exempted from the obligation to join the military.

Where did the Irish immigrants at that time get $300?

They chose to immigrate to the New World because they were poor. Now that Lin has done something like this again, how can we not make these people angry?

Not to mention that when Irish immigrants came over, they were forced to sign a "voluntary military service" form when they were issued a residence permit, abandon their families, and go to the front line.

Historically, major riots involving Irish immigrants would occur quickly and on a large scale.

At that time, in addition to New York, anti-draft riots broke out in Boston, New Jersey, Toledo, Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts and other places in the Northern Union camp.

The riot lasted until the fourth day, and the Northern Confederate military and police were still unable to quell the riot. In the end, the riot came to an end only after the Army of the Potomac brutally suppressed it.

But because Lin was illiterate, Li Mingqi decided to let the riot break out earlier.

The radio waves passed along some secret base stations deployed by the Imperial Guards in the western region and reached the members of the Umbrella Youth League who were moving around the Northern Federation advocating the complete annihilation of the Southern Confederacy.

The next day, an inconspicuous sale information appeared in the remote corners of major newspapers in the Northern Federation.

"Nina, I can't watch the play with you tonight, I have important things to do..."

A young man put down his newspaper and apologized to his female companion who was having dinner with him.

"Is it about business? I can give you some help."

Seeing the young man's troubled expression, the female companion put down her knife and fork, held his hand and said:

"Edie, you have to know our current relationship. I have given all my body and mind to you. You should let me help you."

The young man Edie was silent for a while and said: "No, I cannot accept your help. Our love should not be mixed with these interests. You understand me!"

After saying that, Edie left this high-end restaurant in Manhattan and got on the carriage parked at the door.

"Why can you eat meat, drink wine and pick up girls in the restaurant, while I can only stay at the door blowing the air and eating bread?"

As soon as Edie got into the car, the driver couldn't help but complain.

"Because you are ugly!" Edie pointed out the essence of the matter unceremoniously, and then asked: "Have you seen today's newspaper?"

Hearing this question, the driver's somewhat shocked voice came from the front:

"See, why don't you tell the guys who are responsible for delivering the message? Can you not use umbrellas for sale as a code word next time?"

Edie shrugged and replied: "What can we do without an umbrella? Is there any word that can describe us more appropriately than an umbrella?"

The coachman had a different opinion and said: "President Li said that the original meaning of the protective umbrella refers to the last and strongest wall. I don't know who translated it into what it is now..."

"Look at those radical guys. Their code words are much higher. They are papers on lightning research!"

The carriage arrived at the agreed meeting place amidst the conversation between the two people.

"Hey Edie, I heard you hooked up with a War Department member?"

A young man with tanned skin asked Edie who had just entered the door.

"He didn't hook up with the congressman, he climbed into the bed of the congressman's wife, haha..."

Another companion joked, causing everyone in the room to laugh.

In this room there were young people dressed in various styles, businessmen, vendors, soldiers, policemen, and even a guy in a suit and tie dressed like a government official.

As a key member, Edie walked up to the youth league member who was responsible for convening his companions today and took the telegraph newspaper from the other party.

After browsing the above content, he walked to the front seriously and said to everyone:

“Head-in-Chief Li’s order, everyone stands up and listens respectfully!”

Immediately, everyone in the room stood up and looked seriously at Edie in front of him.

"Director Li ordered us to give some help to those Irish people! Because they received unfair treatment in the United States, President Li sympathized with them."

"With the intention of helping the weak, we should provide weapons, funds and other support to these Irish immigrants who are determined to declare war on injustice."

"So our main goal is to help those Irish people!"

Unlike the Umbrella Youth League, the orders received by the Lightning League were more radical.

Because it is clearly stated above that they call on Irish immigrants to stand up and resist the unreasonable conscription bill.

It was also mentioned that the Northern Federation might use troops to suppress it, so after the mission was completed, all personnel temporarily lurked and waited for the opportunity.
