New Ming Empire mixed in America

The landing process of the National Defense Force was very smooth. While the Spanish army gathered its soldiers, all the National Defense Forces had already landed.

From here the battle begins and the rhythm of the Wehrmacht can be announced.

All that's left is to advance step by step, and the fortress also has airships to suppress it in the air.

Even that weird rocket transport ship started to approach the dock.

Li Mingqi didn't know how to position this strange rocket launcher created by the Royal Academy.

I always feel that the types of battleships are now completely out of Li Mingqi’s control.

While the Spanish defenders were organizing their ranks, the soldiers of the National Defense Force had already begun to consolidate their defense lines.

Barbed wire is constantly being transported from the transport ship, and no one knows how much barbed wire is loaded on the transport ship.

When Li Mingqi left the transport ship in a small boat, a few hundred meters in front of the fort ruins had been completely blocked by barbed wire, and some mines had even been planted.

These landmines invented by the Royal Academy are specifically required to be equipped with a quick-release mode. After a special disassembly tool is inserted, the landmine can be safely removed.

At this stage, this kind of landmine can still be used. After European countries start to study landmines, the Xinming Empire's landmines will also cancel the quick release mode.

Now relying on weapon design concepts that are far superior to other countries, the Xinming Empire has left all countries behind. It is a dimensionality-reducing strike just like the white people used muskets to fight against the Indians' bows, arrows and spears.

But when the technology of all countries has advanced to the time of World War I, the gap between technologies will be greatly narrowed.

So now the Xinming Empire can only rely on the technological gap during this period to grow itself as quickly as possible, and in the future it will be crushed by its industrial scale that far exceeds that of other countries.

The ruined fort position was turned into a field artillery position. From here, the field artillery range could provide fire support to the attacking Wehrmacht soldiers.

And at this time, Ding Yi also led a group of National Defense Force soldiers carrying mortars to advance towards the fortress.

He wanted to open up the passage between the dock and the fortress, at least to allow field artillery and heavy mortars to pass smoothly.

Both sides were accumulating strength for the upcoming battle, and the battlefield became silent for a while, falling into garbage time.

"Where is Governor Birmingham?" Colonel Butler asked the messenger with a gloomy face.

He was full of anger towards the governor who had just taken office last year, not only because he was impatient but also wanted to fight for power and gain.

What he is most worried about now is that this governor, like the previous governors, will run back to Spain with the wealth he collected.

Others could use various excuses to leave Manila, but they, the soldiers, could not escape.

Their families are all here in the colony and have been here for several generations. If they leave the colony, you can imagine what will happen to their families.

In fact, the power struggle between the governor and the combat commander here in Spain is already very minor.

Don't think it's impossible. Take the current Civil War in the United States as an example. The situation of President Davis of the Confederacy and his nepotism for military power was much more serious.

This is especially true for Mr. Lin's Northern Federation. The war without smoke between the capitalists and the federal government is even more cruel. After the war, the joke about Mr. Lin being assassinated by a gangster who sympathized with the South is not funny at all.

Not to mention the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, as can be seen from the Southeast Mutual Protection that appeared after Lafayette declared war on 11 countries, Chinese officials are best at internal fighting.

"No news has come yet, but the Governor has returned to the rear defense line..."

The messenger was a little surprised that Colonel Butler suddenly asked this question. Where else could the Governor go if he didn't return to the rear?

After hearing the orderer's answer, Colonel Butler's face became a little gloomier.

Manila is not the only port in the colony. If you make up your mind to leave here, you can take a train to other ports.

"Find someone to go to the rear and ask the Governor about his battle plan!"

Colonel Butler was still very worried that Governor Birmingham would leave on some pretext, such as returning home to discuss the treaty signed by Britain and France.

At this time, he didn't know that the Governor-General, who had already thought in his heart that he might escape during the battle, was experiencing the greatest danger in his life.

"Damn it, just tell me how much you want, I can definitely give you more than your employer!"

The Governor, covering his arms and with sweat on his face, leaned against the window of a house, gritted his teeth and shouted out what he just said.

Several of his guards were lying outside the house, and the horses that had been killed lay bloody on the roadside.

More than a dozen businessmen and consultants have long since disappeared, and now he is only followed by a few order soldiers and a guard leader.

When they were passing by this ruin just now, they were suddenly attacked by a gunpowder barrel thrown from the roadside. The guard was killed on the spot, and the followers were in chaos.

Then a bullet hit the Governor of Birmingham, who was surrounded by people.

Seeing the governor fall off his horse, the rest of the merchants and other entourages dispersed in a rush. Several people were killed and then disappeared into the ruins.

This area was first designated as a war zone because of the earthquake, and later because of the war, and the citizens had already left here.

After shouting, Governor Birmingham quietly waited for the attackers hiding somewhere in the ruins to reply.

That's right, it was not only Guo Wu who attacked him, but also his companions who had left.

These people were blocked here because the fighting started in the port area. Together, they couldn't get through anyway, so they might as well come back and follow Guo Wu.

The series of attacks just now were their work. They were recruited by the Spanish defenders to transport supplies, so they were very familiar with the terrain.

The gunpowder barrels used on the governor and his party were found nearby. When the indigenous servants charged with the gunpowder barrels, not all the gunpowder barrels were successfully detonated.

This makes it easier for these angry Avengers.

"Big Eyes, you know a few foreign words. Can you translate for everyone what the foreign official wants to say?"

In the ruins, a middle-aged man holding a crowbar poked the big eye next to him with his arm and furtively looked outside.

"I can't understand it except when I'm eating or sleeping. Who knows what that foreign official is shouting?"

Curling his lips, Big Eyes sat among the crowd. After realizing that everyone was still looking at him, he scratched his head and said, "What I said is the truth..."

But no one believed what he said, and only a sour voice came from the audience: "Come on, that foreign woman was so kind to you last time. She gave you food and drinks. Who do you think you don't understand?"

Believe it."

When Big Eye heard this, his eyes widened and he said: "Fart, that foreign woman's husband just died. I helped bury that dead ghost. All the food and drinks are my reward!"

The sour voice sounded again after he finished speaking:

"If it's a reward, then why can you understand how to sleep?"

Big Eye's face turned red at these words. He only scratched his head but didn't know how to refute the other party. Looking at his embarrassment, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, keep an eye on that high official. As soon as he comes out, we'll rush up and kill him!"

Guo Wu came down from the roof with a rifle and motioned for everyone to follow him and approach the house where the Governor of Birmingham was hiding.
