New Ming Empire mixed in America

In the following days, Rodney kept going in and out of the military camp where the 9th Infantry Regiment was guarding the Easterners.

With his bold personality and generous actions, he quickly became the most popular outsider among all the soldiers here.

Whenever Rodney came over, the soldiers knew their chance to improve their meals was coming.

Moreover, this businessman named Rodney also used a kind of sugar water to cure the officer's constant coughing problem.

So now Rodney's image in the eyes of the soldiers has become that of a kind, generous gentleman with miraculous medical skills.

Martin, the top officer who commanded the two companies of the 9th Infantry Regiment, also thought so.

So that day when he was drinking and chatting with Rodney in the military camp, he directly asked:

"My dear friend, can you give me more of that cough syrup? Recently I feel that I have fallen in love with that sweet taste."

Speaking of this, he licked his lips unconsciously, looking intoxicated.

This expression made Rodney's butt tighten, and he began to consider whether he should reduce the number of visits to the military camp.

Although he was thinking this way, he still replied: "I don't have much. These are all given to me by my friends for cough relief."

Seeing the disappointment on Martin's face, Rodney hesitated and said:

"I think this sugar water is better to be taken when you cough. During this period, you have to drink more than a dozen bottles almost every day. It's like...just like..."

After enduring it, Rodney still didn't say what he said next.

"I know what you mean. You want to say that this kind of sugar water is the same as cigarettes, right?"

Martin took out a bottle of cough syrup from the drawer and drank it in two or three sips, then continued:

"I know what a heavy smoker looks like. Even my cousin is a smoker. But I can tell you with certainty that this sugar water is not that kind of thing."

"Let's put it this way, it's like drinking. Some people become alcoholics and some people don't."

"It's the same thing with this cough syrup. It's like an alcoholic meeting a fine wine to me. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Martin explained to Rodney very seriously, and even the other party's frankness moved Martin very much.

Rodney, who was successfully persuaded by Martin, had no choice but to promise to bring him more when he comes next time.

After walking out of the military camp, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He already knew why the 'Celestial Sect' gave gifts to Martin before releasing those Easterners.

He dared to vouch for that cough syrup with his head, there was definitely something wrong!

But what made him feel strange was that he let his servant drink for three days in a row, but he didn't suffer from Martin's condition.

Thinking of this, a chill suddenly ran down his back, 'God... Bah, in the Kingdom of Heaven, this cough syrup is not really specially used by the Kingdom of Heaven to target Martin.

Taking a deep breath, Rodney no longer thought about what he had or didn't have. He just wanted to make money now... No, he just wanted to get that 'Xinming Empire Box'.

Then he took the box and flew away, first to Europe to use the box to make a fortune, and then to the Far East so that no one could find him.

Just when Rodney was caught up in fantasies about a better future, Li Mingqi ran into trouble.

"Long live my lord, a cavalry composed of tax policemen is coming to us. Someone must have reported the white laborers after seeing them."

After Liu Erhe finished speaking, he handed the walkie-talkie to Li Mingqi.

After taking the walkie-talkie, Li Mingqi said directly: "I'm listening!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Laifu's voice immediately came from the intercom:

"Your Majesty, the investigation team reported that a cavalry composed of tax policemen came from the direction of Cape Fort Fortress, with a total of thirty-six people. Your Majesty will decide how to deal with it!"

Li Mingqi pondered for a while and then said: "We have been preparing for so long, it is time for San Francisco to hear the roar of the New Ming Empire!"

"Let me ask you, can we capture Cape Fort before dark?"

Sun Laifu's voice was even crisper, and he returned: "Guaranteed to complete the task!"

Then a rally call sounded in the camp of the Second Regiment of the New Ming Empire Defense Force.

Looking at the assembled soldiers of the Second Regiment of the National Defense Force, Sun Laifu simply issued a pre-war order:

"Your Majesty has an order to capture the Cape Fort Fortress before dark! Everyone is here, let's go!"

Groups of National Defense Force soldiers walked out of the camp and headed towards the Cape Fort Fortress.

Behind them is Sun Laifu's favorite - his direct heavy artillery company!

In order to win the Cape Fort Fortress in one fell swoop this time, Sun Laifu spent a lot of money.

Because of the difficult roads in this era, Wang Chuan's heavy artillery regiment is currently idle.

Hearing that Sun Laifu was going to fight on the front line, Wang Chuan couldn't sit still and ran to Li Mingqi to plead:

"Your Majesty, let my heavy artillery regiment also participate in the battle. It doesn't need to be more. Just send out one battalion."

It was not that Li Mingqi refused to let the heavy artillery regiment participate in the battle. After all, attacking the fortress still relied on heavy firepower.

But now the road connecting them to the outside world has not been built yet. Even if he wants Wang Chuan and others to go, there is no such condition.

"A battalion can have 70 Type 130 mortars. If you have the ability to transport them all, I will let you join the war."

Sun Laifu's heavy artillery battery only had four Type 130 mortars, and with the large number of National Defense soldiers, they had to carry them out.

But there are 70 heavy mortars in Wangchuan's battalion, and just transporting shells is a troublesome task.

"Your Majesty, I calculated it when I came here. I don't need to bring the entire battalion of Type 130 mortars. I only need to bring twenty of them."

"This time I just want to let the soldiers feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. As the saying goes, ten years off stage is not as good as three days on stage. This time I just want to go on stage to practice."

Li Mingqi thought it over and agreed to Wang Chuan's request.

In fact, he also wanted to go with him, but later found out that if he went, Liu Erhe would definitely bring all the Jin Yiwei and the National Defense Force to follow him.

Therefore, he temporarily suppressed Yujia's plan to conquer the country personally.

There's still a lot of time, and California is so big, there's always an opportunity to conquer it yourself.

More than ten miles away from the 'China Beach', 36 tax policemen rode forward slowly on horseback.

In the morning, they received a report that a construction team was building a road near Lands End.

The tax policemen looked through the documents and found that the road construction team had obviously not registered with them.

What kind of behavior is this? This is simply a blatant disregard for their San Francisco tax department.

The last time the Los Angeles tax collector ran back to Sacramento in despair, it had already made the entire California tax department a joke.

Although the tax collector is now doing well relying on the Stanford family, shame is shame.

So after coming to the conclusion that someone dared to evade taxes under their noses, the tax police set out in a hurry.

This time, we must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and make certain capitalists in San Francisco be more honest!
