New Ming Empire mixed in America

After listening to Sun Laifu's words, Jackson fell silent for a while.

Sun Laifu was right. He was still a general of the Confederacy, but his behavior was somewhat inappropriate.

But what kind of general is he now?

Thinking of his amputated left arm, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

When he was a teacher at Virginia Military Institute, Jackson once suspected that the length of his limbs was uneven.

So when teaching, I always raise one arm high to cover up this problem.

It's okay now, there's no need to doubt this issue, because it's really unbalanced now.

"I just admire you very much for being able to defeat the British army. I want to learn your advanced tactics."

Jackson stated his purpose very honestly: "You know we are at war with the Northern Confederacy. I hope to end this war as soon as possible."

Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he is against the war, but he is a soldier, and he cannot escape when a battle occurs. (This is what is written in Stonewall Jackson's profile, I don't know if it is true.)

If you want to end the war as soon as possible, the best way is to defeat the opponent and catch Lin, the culprit who started the war.

"You have fought more wars than we have. We should learn from you."

Sun Laifu said politely, then changed the topic and said: "I don't know what you think of Daiying. I heard that Daiying is now supporting your Southern Alliance."

Jackson thought for a while and replied: "What Daiying wanted at first was just our cotton, but now they have no shortage of cotton."

"They support our alliance, but they don't want to give up the industrial market in the north, so they don't really want to help us."

There is still a word that has not been said. Now that Daiying is in a food crisis, their attitude has become untrustworthy.

There is a large amount of wheat in the north that can enable Daiying to survive this food crisis, so Daiying's attitude towards the north has become ambiguous.

After finishing speaking, there was another silence, and finally Jackson made a new request of his own: "Can I go and see where you fought with Mexico?"

Sun Laifu readily agreed to this request.

The battlefield has been taken care of, and he will not be allowed to visit the battlefield of the Xinming Empire later, so there is no need to worry about the secrets being leaked.

Soon, Jackson, who was missing an arm, followed Sun Laifu, who had finished visiting the wounded soldiers, on horseback and headed out of the city.

"To be honest, I never thought that one day I would be able to live in such a..."

After thinking for a while, Jackson finally thought of a suitable word.

"Comfortable and clean, those are the two adjectives. This place is paradise to me!"

"I hope the people in our country can live such a life."

Looking at the children who could go to school and play on the roadside without any worries after school, he sighed again:

"We can't see such a scene at all in our country. Every child in your country must study, but in our country only children from wealthy families can study..."

Jackson's family was very poor when he was a child. He spent most of his childhood in a mill owned by his uncle, and his character became shy and withdrawn.

But he is also lucky, at least he graduated from West Point Military Academy.

The 39-year-old Jackson yearns for a life like the one in the New Ming Empire. This is the world he hopes to see, but it happens to the people of other countries.

Everything here made him feel novel and frightened.

The prosperity of the Xinming Empire can be seen from the flat roads alone. Without sufficient financial support, it would be impossible to build such a road extending in all directions.

There is also endless land that has been developed, and the wheat grown on it is growing well.

Jackson knew that it seemed that the Xinming Empire was not short of food either.

There was also canned beef that he couldn't eat every meal. That kind of delicious food plus some bread, which Easterners call steamed buns, was simply a rare delicacy.

Thinking of cans, Jackson knew that the logistics of the Xinming Empire's troops must be very complete, and cans alone could ensure the nutrition of the soldiers.

That's right, it's about nutrition rather than filling your stomach.

Look at the Eastern soldiers following them. Each of these guys is very strong.

And the equipment on the opponent's body is simply a luxury.

Although the military uniforms were colorful and unsightly, Jackson could see at a glance their usefulness in the field.

Almost every dozen people can be equipped with such advanced binoculars.

In addition, everyone has a strange rifle. Although Jackson has not shot it himself, it can be seen from the appearance that it is much more advanced than a muzzleloader.

Now everyone knows that the Xinming Empire uses metal bullets. After all, such a secret cannot be kept.

Any army that has fought against the National Defense Forces, as long as they are not completely wiped out on the spot, can take this news back.

Although we know that the Xinming Empire used metal bullets, there are many rifles using metal bullets in the world.

However, only the National Defense Forces of the New Ming Empire were equipped with metal bullet rifles on a large scale, which represented the industrial strength of a country.

Jackson, who had suffered enough from the underdeveloped industry during the Civil War, was a little worried about the industry of the New Ming Empire.

After all, having the Northern Confederacy as a neighboring country to the Confederacy was enough of a headache, and now a powerful Eastern country was added to the mix, making Jackson a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, we won't become enemies." As if seeing Jackson's worry, Sun Laifu said with a smile:

"Even if we want land, we can go to Canada to get it. It's much easier to get it there than from you."

"And there are still large tracts of land in the west waiting for us to develop, so you can rest assured."

But after listening to Okinaki Gongchi's translation, Jackson always felt some unspeakable awkwardness in his heart, but for a while he couldn't figure out where the awkwardness lay.

In fact, he forgot that all the land in the Xinming Empire was snatched from the hands of the United States.

But after nearly three years, everyone has acquiesced to this fact, as if the land on the west coast should belong to the Xinming Empire.

For Jackson, a Confederate, the original California and Oregon on the West Coast were the territories of the Northern Confederacy.

So he didn't have any anger about the United States losing these two states.

If someone Lin were here, he would be heartbroken and twisted.

Otherwise, we cannot always be prepared to cause trouble for the Xinming Empire.

And for such a long time, Li Mingqi has provided free maps of the Americas to European newspapers.

This means that any news that mentions the Americas will use the map provided by Li Mingqi. Otherwise, it is too detailed.

It is so detailed that the spheres of influence of each country are marked, especially the territory of the Xinming Empire, which is marked in very conspicuous bright yellow.

So now Europeans are very clear about the territory of the Xinming Empire.

This is the reason why Li Mingqi kindly provided them with a map. He wanted to settle this matter first.

Even though the Xinming Empire does not have any troops in the central part of the country, everyone in Europe who has seen this map has unconsciously recognized that it is the territory of the Xinming Empire.

You can call Li Mingqi a scheming boy, but it concerns the integrity of the country's territory, so it's really not shabby.
