New Ming Empire mixed in America

Soon, these white businessmen discovered that the Oriental train really had no intention of slowing down, and now the white businessmen were completely panicked.

While they were waiting for the armored train to pass by, there were still three unlucky guys who failed to leave the tracks in time and were sent directly to God by the armored train.

The white workers who had just been watching the excitement immediately picked up the tools around them and began to collect the corpses.

This scene is just a microcosm of the fact that the Xinming Empire stopped exporting supplies to the Southern Alliance this time.

An even greater influence would be among the Confederate armies.

Due to the suspension of supplies, their frontline offensive had to slow down.

Not only the army, but also some big merchants in the territory were affected. Without the materials from the Xinming Empire, they would have no goods, and without goods, they would have no money to make.

This made the congressmen of the Confederate States unable to sit still, and they began to denounce the president's inaction.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you don’t blame the Xin Ming Empire. People like Mexico first betrayed their trust and then invaded the territory of the Xin Ming Empire.

After a battle, the Wehrmacht soldiers suffered a lot of casualties.

It is not wrong at all to say that they are war criminals, but President Jefferson Davis actually supported these Mexicans to form a government in exile.

This not only offended the Xinming Empire, but also made Na San feel dissatisfied.

So within a week, the issue regarding the Mexican government-in-exile came to a conclusion, which was to extradite these people to the New Ming Empire.

"This is not a decision that a qualified politician should make. You and I think you will completely offend the Orientals by doing this!"

Regarding the decision made by Jefferson Davis, his advisers hesitated to express their opinions.

"The Orientals need us because only we can provide cotton. So don't worry, they won't dare to rebel until they find a cotton supply place."

Jefferson Davis said very confidently: "As for materials...as long as we reduce the supply of cotton, the Easterners can only compromise!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head again and began to look at the documents on his desk.

"What you do will only make the Orientals dissatisfied with us. Since we have decided to abandon Mexico, why do we still want to offend the Orientals?"

The consultant was still dissatisfied with the decision made by Jefferson Davis. He thought the man was simply crazy.

This kind of thing is simply not flattering on both sides. If Jefferson Davis was doing it for himself, the consultant would not say anything.

But now his approach obviously cannot benefit himself, and it also causes conflicts between the Southern Alliance and the Easterners.

"Although I don't agree with Mr. Lin's political views, I agree with what he said."

Having said this, Jefferson Davis put down the document and said to his advisor very seriously:

"He told me, don't ignore the dangers around you just because of the mutual hostility between the north and the south. Oriental people are not Mianyang, they are wolves waiting for opportunities!"

After he said this, the consultant stopped complaining and stopped talking.

Did the Easterners really have no purpose in selling weapons and supplies to the Confederacy?

Do the Orientals really just want to use these supplies in exchange for the cotton they need?

Do Orientals have no peeps at the eastern part of the United States?

In fact, everyone knows the answers to these questions.

But now the contradiction between the North and the South is irreconcilable, so those who know the answer choose to ignore it for the time being.

Last time, as soon as Mr. Lin announced that he would send troops to the west coast, the Southern Confederacy's attack pace slowed down, allowing the Northern Confederacy time to mobilize soldiers.

Sighing, the advisor shook his head and advised: "The threat from the East to the United States will not appear until a long time later. Now our biggest enemy is the Northern Federation..."

After speaking, the consultant walked out of the office, leaving Jefferson Davis alone to handle the documents.

The next day, news came out that was beyond everyone's expectations. Key members of the Mexican government-in-exile had left the Confederacy by train before the police could arrest them.

And officials from the Confederate Ministry of Agriculture said in public speeches:

Due to climate reasons, cotton production may be reduced this year.

In order to protect the interests of plantation owners, Confederate cotton exports were temporarily suspended, and supply would not be resumed until the government adjusted prices.

The passage quickly appeared in newspapers, and the Confederacy responded quickly.

For a time, the railway between Texas and the New Ming Empire became deserted.

Jinling, the capital of the Xinming Empire…

"Long live Lord, this is the latest news..."

Liu Erhe placed a piece of information in front of Li Mingqi.

Recently, due to the huge workload of Jinyiwei, Lu Weiming is stationed at Jinyiwei headquarters. Any urgent matters are communicated through Liu Erhe.

After picking up the intelligence and reading it briefly, Li Mingqi guessed the Southern Alliance's plan.

They wanted to force the Xinming Empire to compromise, because there were many places where the Xinming Empire needed cotton.

Not only do various processing plants need cotton, but even weapons factories also need cotton to stockpile bullets.

"Long live my lord, will you let Master Sun's National Defense Force take action?"

Although Liu Erhe was talking about the National Defense Force, his eyes kept looking at Li Mingqi expectantly.

Sun Laifu is currently busy with matters in Mexico. How can he mobilize troops to put pressure on the Southern Confederacy?

The only troops that can be mobilized are the Imperial Guards. As long as Li Mingqi has the intention to target the Southern Alliance, the Imperial Guards will have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

"Sun Laifu is still busy with matters in Mexico. Let's mobilize two regiments of the Guards to deploy eastward and suspend all trade with the Confederacy."

Li Mingqi had long been on guard against this move from the Southern Alliance.

Not only did they stock up on some cotton in advance, they also accumulated a large amount of cotton purchased from the system in a secret warehouse.

With these stocks in hand, the Xinming Empire will not be short of cotton for at least half a year.

But can the Confederacy survive until half a year later?

The strategic material exports of the Xinming Empire were all calculated.

Guns can be used for a long time after purchase, but the gunpowder is used less and less.

Now let alone the Southern Confederacy, which is short of gunpowder, even the Northern Confederacy, which has a very developed industry, is also short of gunpowder.

Otherwise, DuPont would not have taken advantage of this opportunity to develop and grow.

It is well known that they purchased gunpowder from Daiying and then sold it to the Northern Federal government at a higher price to make a large profit.

Therefore, Li Mingqi was convinced that within three months, the Southern Alliance would be the first to be unable to hold on and bow to the Xinming Empire.

By then, not to mention the increase in cotton prices, or a 20% discount, Li Mingqi would be able to delay them for a few more months.

But during this period, we still need to be on guard against the Confederacy's backhand.

"Inform Sun Laifu and ask his National Defense Forces to cut off the main road between Texas and Mexico as soon as possible and ban all supplies from Mexico into Texas."

After putting down the call to the Secretariat, Li Mingqi looked at Liu Erhe and said: "We must keep an eye on the weapons of the Imperial Guard. No new weapons can appear on the market!"

The Guards now use smokeless powder weapons, and are even equipped with some field rifles that use smokeless powder.

Therefore, Li Mingqi paid close attention to these weapons of the Imperial Guard.

Liu Erhe nodded cautiously and said: "Long live the Lord, don't worry, no weapons will ever flow out of the hands of the Imperial Guards!"

Liu Erhe was very confident about the control of the imperial guards.

After Liu Erhe left, Li Mingqi held the information in his hand and began to think deeply.

Li Mingqi had already anticipated the reaction of the Southern Alliance.

He always thinks the worst about these white people.

They were even prepared for the north and the south to join forces to deal with the Xinming Empire, otherwise they would not have been strengthening the defense system of Jinling until now.

If the worst happens, then Jinling will be the last line of defense to withstand the attacks from the north and the south.

As for asking Sun Laifu to cut off the main road between Mexico and Texas, it was to prevent Nasa from providing help to the Southern Confederacy.

The Northern Federation's Anaconda plan cut off sea routes.

Now as long as the land transportation line is cut off, it means that the Confederacy has lost all external funding.

"You want to play soft knife with me, hum..."

Li Mingqi's sneer sounded in the study, causing Zhao Zhen, who was sitting behind the screen to record, to shiver.

PS: Don’t worry, there’s still…
