Among Zhu Shengkai's four hundred men, there were also carriages.
Only a small portion of these carriages carried weapons and ammunition.
Most of the goods were clothes.
Compared to attacking Los Angeles, Zhu Shengkai felt that he was doing business.
The American Federation had always been an era of capital.
Whether it was now or in the 21st century.
Capital is the past.
Zhu Shengkai wanted to take Los Angeles.
Moreover, if he wanted to avoid any consequences and risks, he naturally had to find another way.
What Zhu Shengkai wanted was to blatantly turn Los Angeles into Da Ming's territory under the eyes of the California government!
Moreover, the California government would not do anything. They would even have to curry favor with Zhu Shengkai.
This was a brilliant method!
Los Angeles was 200 kilometers south of Xindu.
But Zhu Shengkai did not go south.
Instead, he headed west.
They circled around Santa Barbara Town on the coast.
They arrived at an uninhabited coast.
Zhu Shengkai was riding on a black horse. Under his black military hat, there was a pair of sharp eyes.
Looking at the horizon in the distance, Zhu Shengkai asked the system in his heart.
"If I were to materialize the 10,000-ton cruise ship now, how would the oil tankers appear?”
Zhu Shengkai asked.
The 10,000-ton oil tankers will carry a full load of fuel and will follow Your Majesty's will to come from the sea.
the system replied.
Zhu Shengkai nodded slightly and then ordered the system to materialize the oil tank.
Your 10,000-ton oil tank is being distributed from the system reward space. Please wait patiently for an hour.
Seeing the system prompt, Zhu Shengkai shouted to the side,""Chief Flag Li!"
Soon, a tall young man in a neat military uniform and a black military cap came to Zhu Shengkai's side.
"Great Ming Imperial Guards 'First Banner, Chief Banner Officer Li Cheng pays his respects to Your Majesty!”
The thick heels of his black leather boots knocked against each other, making a loud sound. Li Cheng's right hand clenched into a fist and placed it on his left chest. Under his military cap, his sharp eyes looked straight ahead.
He gave a standard military salute to Zhu Shengkai.
"Set up camp here, rest for an hour, and wait for the ship.”
Zhu Shengkai said.
"Waiting for the boat?"
Li Cheng was a little confused. He looked at the sea surface. There was nothing on the endless sea surface.
However, he still faithfully carried out Zhu Shengkai's instructions.
Four hundred Great Ming soldiers were resting on the spot.
The Ming Army soldiers, who were wearing black leather boots, black double-breasted military coats, armed belts, and leather backpacks, were sitting together in twos and threes.
At a glance, the Ming army soldiers in the same attire were densely packed, almost filling up the small beach.
An hour later, on the distant sea level, a giant oil ship slowly approached.
Li Cheng, the commander of the imperial guards, looked at the steel beast lying on the sea and swallowed his saliva.
"This, Your Majesty, this ship…"
His eyes widened in shock.
"This is our Big Ming's ship."
Zhu Shengkai smiled.
The ship stopped a few hundred meters away from the shore. If it went any further, the ship would be stranded.
This kind of 10,000-ton oil tankers had a relatively deep draft.
In Zhu Shengkai's eyes, several small boats on the huge ship were lowered and began to head towards the shore.
On the leading boat, an officer who was dressed similar to the Ming Dynasty officer, except that his military uniform was white, came ashore. He saluted and said to Zhu Shengkai,"The captain of the Great Ming Royal cruise ship, Chen Chang, with twenty crew members, greets Your Majesty!”
"Very good. Is there enough fuel?"
"Your Majesty, we have sufficient fuel."
"Very good, board the ship. Target, Los Angeles!”
On the shore, 400 Ming soldiers began to board the boats in batches.
Before long, all four hundred soldiers boarded the ship.
..............
Los Angeles.
The mayor of Los Angeles, Mr. Donald, was having a headache.
In front of him was an order from Abraham Lin, who had just successfully run for office and became the president of the US Federation.
As the conflict between the North and South states of the United States became more and more intense, the United States of America was in a state of chaos.
In order to deal with the possible war in the future, Lin Ken recruited a lot of new land forces.
What followed was the new army weapons, equipment, and even uniforms.
They needed to choose the right company, the right weapons, and the right military uniforms to supply.
There were basically no problems with the weapons and equipment, but the members of the Northern Parliament of the United States were arguing over the style of the military uniform.
Lin Ken directly issued an order to all the cities and companies in the United States.
He asked them to come up with their own military uniforms.
They would choose the city which had the best quality, cheapest price, and the best offer.
This was a good thing for Chief Donald.
Because once President Lin Ken confirmed the design of the military uniform, millions of orders from the US Army would flood in!
One could imagine that this would definitely bring Donald a huge amount of wealth.
However, there was a problem now. There were no good clothing companies in Los Angeles.
The best ones were in San Francisco, San José, and Sacramento.
If that was the case, then Chief Donald wouldn't have a headache. He could just ignore it and pretend it never happened.
What gave Chief Donald the biggest headache was another order.
It was also an order to provide military uniforms, but it did not come from the President of the US Federation, Lin Ken. Instead, it came from the six slave states in the south of the US Federation.
They also wanted to form an army!
Moreover, it was an army that was different from the Lincoln Army of the United States!
Like Lincoln, they also issued an order to collect military uniform designs from all the states and cities in the midwest of the United States.
All this while, the conflict between the slave states and the states that liberated the slaves had been getting more and more intense.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the division was certain.
War was not impossible.
The conflict between President Linken and Davis was getting deeper and deeper.
Now, both sides were finally going to put the problem on the table.
Both the south and north of the United States were building their armies and recruiting soldiers.
This was basically saying that they were going to split up and go to war.
These two orders came from the south and north of the US Federation. It looked like they were only collecting the design of military uniforms, but in fact, Lin Ken and Davis were forcing the remaining states and cities of the US Federation to take sides!
Facing this situation, Chief Donald naturally had a headache.
"Chief! Chief!"
Suddenly, a person rushed in in a panic.
" What's wrong?!"
Donald looked over in dissatisfaction.
"Warship, there's a huge warship docked at the port!”
"Ah?"
Donald was shocked. It was over. Could it be that the Federation Navy had come to force him to take sides?？
