New Ming Empire mixed in America

The construction of the fortifications lasted three full days.

Thanks to the hard work of countless laid-off workers in San Francisco, as well as the poor who have no food to eat due to soaring prices during this period.

The defense line dividing the San Francisco Peninsula was thus established.

For these San Francisco citizens who came to work in the Xinming Empire, Li Mingqi did not make things difficult for them.

After paying enough wages, these San Francisco citizens who were relying on the defense line were driven back.

At the same time, time was also expedited to start cleaning up the "illegal armed forces" belonging to the West San Francisco side of the Xinming Empire.

After several days of sweeping back and forth, basically everyone who was a threat in Li Mingqi's eyes was thrown to work on the construction site.

The person responsible for managing these ‘workers’ was Liu Youcai, the chief minister of the empire.

Old Liu was very good at doing this kind of thing. In order to prevent these strong "workers" from causing trouble, barbed wire fences were installed outside the construction site as standard.

The food was similar to the construction site lunch boxes of later generations, and they were not delivered until after meal time.

However, the Xinming Empire has special logistics carriages to provide meals for the ‘workers’.

The logistics carriages often carry only enough food for the 'workers' to eat to prevent these people from having any inappropriate thoughts.

Finally, the supervisors on the construction site are all old people among these lifelong ‘workers’.

These old 'workers' who shed their blood and sweat for the construction of Yingtian Mansion of the New Ming Empire cherish the job of supervising workers very much.

Therefore, they are more active than the Xinming Empire in letting other 'workers' work.

The construction site implements a commensurate system, which gives these people the 'freedom' they want to the greatest extent.

Apart from not being able to leave the construction site at will, they lacked everything.

Even the "ladies" in San Francisco who were on the verge of unemployment due to the economic downturn were hired by Li Mingqi and sent to the newly built "Yihongyuan" on the construction site.

So now there are very few workers who want to cause trouble. Usually it is the new former small town police officers who do something outrageous.

But these people will soon be spontaneously suppressed by the 'workers' on the construction site who rely on the Xinming Empire to have enough to eat.

Therefore, the Xinming Empire is now basically in peace and prosperity.

Not only did Li Mingqi seize the time to build fortifications, but the Ninth Infantry Regiment stationed in downtown San Francisco also imitated the National Defense Forces in building parapets and bunkers.

However, due to Li Mingqi's relatively high bid, the first party to complete the work was not surprisingly the Xinming Empire.

After the Wehrmacht basically completed its defense line, the Ninth Infantry Regiment, which was still repairing the parapet, was a little embarrassed.

Finally, under two rounds of bombing by the Wehrmacht mortars, these black and white soldiers retreated back into the city.

"These guys really don't care about life and death. I didn't have time to pay attention to them some time ago. Now these people have gone to great lengths to repair the parapet right under our noses."

Sun Laifu explained to Li Mingqi the reason for firing just now.

In fact, Li Mingqi's visit to the front line for inspection has little to do with the National Defense Forces' shelling of downtown San Francisco.

He just wanted to find a suitable place for a military parade outside the city.

But what Sun Laifu said just now: "Why not have a military parade in the city?"

It gave Li Mingqi a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Yes, why not go to San Francisco for the military parade?

In fact, what Li Mingqi has been worried about is not the militia in California. What he is worried about is the regular troops gathering in New Mexico at this time.

In addition, there are also those West Coast troops who are gathering in Kansas. It would be terrible if these people choose not to fight the civil war and come back to target him.

But as long as the Battle of Fort Sumter begins in April, you can sit back and relax.

Through the hard work of the ‘workers’ of the Xinming Empire, a border wall mainly composed of barbed wire was erected.

This four-meter-high barbed wire fence that stretched for who knows how far and successfully enclosed the city of San Francisco made everyone in San Francisco dumbfounded.

"We must teach those Easterners a lesson. We can't sit here like clowns and wait to die."

Mr. Morgan-Hawthorn was waving his arms in the banquet hall, and the veins on his face due to excitement made his expression look a bit ferocious.

However, other people in the banquet hall looked at Morgan with some pity in their eyes.

Nothing but because he gave birth to a good son.

His son stole the show in San Francisco newspapers some time ago, attracting the admiration of many young girls by recounting his heroic deeds at various banquets.

And his heroic deed was not long ago ramming and sinking an Oriental immigrant ship with a steamer.

Yes, Mr. Morgan Hawthorne's son is named Terrence Hawthorne.

Now the Hawthorne family has been banned from leaving San Francisco by everyone.

Because those Easterners gave the San Francisco City Hall a clear list.

The names on it are exactly the same as those on the "Xinming Empire Reward Order" that was not taken seriously before.

But this time, no one dared to ignore that list.

Although the people on the list were not handed over, these people were also prohibited from leaving San Francisco and were completely reduced to pawns in the game between the two parties.

"Are you just going to admit defeat? We still have soldiers, we still have militia, and we can even let those workers take up arms to defend San Francisco!"

"But look at you now..."

Morgan was still delivering his speech, but was interrupted by soldiers from the Ninth Infantry Regiment who suddenly rushed in.

These soldiers with red sleeves didn't care whether it was a high-end banquet or not. They kicked open the door and rushed in, driving everyone onto the dance floor in the center of the banquet.

"Those whose names are read below, please take the initiative to come with us. Don't take any chances, because your family members are in our hands."

A young officer held a piece of paper with his name written on it and stood where Morgan had just delivered his speech.

"The first one is Mr. Morgan, the owner of Hawthorn Mining Company. Please come with us."

After the young officer finished speaking, he waved to the soldiers around him.

Two bulky soldiers of the Ninth Infantry Regiment walked into the crowd and pulled out Morgan who was trying to hide in the crowd.

"Don't hurt this guy, he's worth a lot of money."

After speaking, the young officer took out a bottle of cough syrup, brought it to his mouth, drank it in a few sips, and then carefully put the bottle back into his pocket.

I don’t know why those Oriental people are so addicted recently that they need to use old bottles to get new cough syrup.

After he had controlled everyone on the list, he smiled at the people on the dance floor and said:

"Have a nice night..."

Seeing the soldiers wearing red sleeves leaving, everyone at the banquet seemed to be in a dream.

When will low-level soldiers be able to rush into high-society banquets and arrest people?

Although they thought this way, the ferocity with which the soldiers used their rifle butts to teach them a lesson was still difficult for them to forget, especially the red sleeves on the other's arms.

And, the golden ring lightning logo on the sleeve...
