Viewed from the air, one huge cloud after another rises from the ground, swallowed up by the billowing smoke of the palace.
Although the movie had no sound, everyone heard the rumbling explosion at this moment.
Not only did they hear it, they saw it too!
Saw destruction!
Once upon a time, they had seen photos of the destruction of the Palace of Versailles, and they knew the news, but when they saw the movie, they seemed to have witnessed the scene with their own eyes. They even stood up in horror, and then
Then they realized that what they saw was just a picture.
On the movie screen, amidst the continuous explosions of gunpowder smoke, the palace known as the "Heart of Europe" collapsed and was destroyed.
Even in the room of the White House, they even had the illusion that they smelled the smoke of gunpowder and the suffocating breath of death...
Finally, I don’t know how long it took, when the movie ended, those people who were stunned and speechless by the destruction of Versailles came to their senses again, McClellan, the man who relied on him during the Civil War.
Looking at the president of the United States who peacefully defeated Lincoln and won the election, his face was full of anger.
"What do you mean by this? Is this a threat?"
You're right, this is really a threat!
Dong Kun even admired His Majesty from the bottom of his heart for actually thinking of using such a movie as a weapon.
It's just a threat, what can you do?
Although it is a threat, out of politeness, it is still necessary to be tactful.
"No, Mr. President,"
Dong Kun said with a smile.
"This is just a small gift, a gift from His Majesty the Emperor to your country!"
What a gift this is!
It’s obviously a warning!
The most familiar term for later generations is blackmail. This is a kind of blackmail based on strength. Of course, the blackmailed party has the right to choose to refuse, but the prerequisite for refusal is that it must have sufficient strength.
"Gift? Is your gift just war?"
Just as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened, and then someone rushed in and said nervously.
"Mr. President, Los Angeles, something happened in Los Angeles..."
…
On the morning of November 17, after 22 days of sailing, the task force finally arrived off the coast of Los Angeles. As soon as this fleet, consisting of three warships and a coal ship, arrived at the sea, it immediately caused a stir near Santa Monica Beach.
The vigilance of American soldiers on the fort.
"The Ming Fleet!"
Following the lookout's shout, the fort suddenly became chaotic, and American soldiers in blue uniforms ran onto the fort and rushed to their emplacements.
On the fort, four Rodman cannons pointed directly at the coast - to this day, the forts on the coastline of the United States are still all Rodman front-loading cannons.
"Are you sure it's the Ming Empire's fleet?"
Major Strom walked to the fort and raised his telescope as he asked.
There is no need to ask anymore - it is the Ming Dynasty fleet, and the Phoenix flag flying on the mast has already proved their identity.
Although the Ming Dynasty adopted the "Sun and Moon Flag" as its national flag, the Zhuque Flag was still used as a military flag. The naval flag was surrounded by a blue border.
"They...are finally here!"
Major Storm's expression looked a little solemn, and what he was most worried about finally happened.
As early as the day after the "Los Angeles Massacre", he received a telegram from Washington, asking him to strengthen war preparations to guard against a possible "invasion." When he first received the telegram, he thought it was a joke.
As a soldier, he did not believe that this kind of thing would happen. After all, they were just a group of Chinese people. Even changing the name could not change their identity.
But now, he can't laugh anymore.
The Ming Empire fleet is really here!
Soon, the news of the arrival of the Ming Empire fleet in Los Angeles spread throughout Los Angeles. This is only a city with a population of only 5,000. Facing the visiting fleet, people had different expressions. Jesse Bill was patrolling the streets.
Delan, the main culprit of the "Los Angeles Massacre", when he learned that the fleet had arrived, he was stunned for a while, and then said.
"The Ming Empire? Where did they come from?"
It's not that he is ignorant, it's that he really doesn't know. He doesn't even know where the Ming Empire came from.
Just when people were looking at the fleet on the sea with various eyes, the messenger sent by the Ming Dynasty task force sent a letter.
Soon, the letter was delivered to the mayor and council members.
"Gentlemen, what do we do now?"
Mayor Frank looked at the council members and asked loudly.
"Every one of you asked for a cover-up, but now? They asked us to hand over all the murderers - they even made a list, a list of 578 people! Damn it, Michelle, you're on the list too
superior!"
"This is impossible, how did they know I was in the crowd at that time."
Deputy Sheriff Michelle said loudly.
"Where did they get the list from?"
Looking at the long list, their eyes became a little complicated. In fact, this list of 578 people was the evidence they had covered up - a list based on the confessions of the mob.
There are policemen, bar owners, shoemakers, clerks, prostitutes, men, women, and even teenage children. This list was once burned, but now it appears in their hands.
They didn't know at all that after the incident, the Beihai Governor's Mansion sent investigators. The European appearance made it easy for the investigators to obtain the list that should have been destroyed. The list was then sent to Mexico via telegram.
, when the fleet passed the Mexican port, the local agents sent the list onto the ship.
Now that the fleet has arrived in Los Angeles, it has only made one request - to hand over the 578 people involved in the scandal!
Of course, this is just the beginning. Conditions are gradually raised.
"Damn, wherever they got the list from, now they're asking us to turn everyone over!"
Representative Hunter said with some excitement.
"Let us hand over the 578 people on the list! God can testify that there are only 5,000 people in this city, which is more than 10% of the total population. If we hand them over, I can guarantee that none of them will survive.
Come back to America!”
"Yes, gentlemen, those infidels will definitely kill them all, just like they hanged those Chinese old men, Chinese old men, the Ming Empire is also a group of Chinese old men, a bunch of damn infidels!"
"You must never hand people over!"
"Yes, if we hand these people over, we will not only lose votes, we may lose lives. Those people will turn into thugs and kill us all!"
Turning over 10% of a city over to infidels who will kill them?
You don’t need to think about it to know the result. Most of those people are adult men. Those people all have guns in their hands, how could they just sit back and wait to be killed?
"But, what will happen if we don't make friends?"
No need to ask, everyone knows what will happen, the fleet... is not a decoration.
The fleet did not come just for them to appreciate the heroic appearance of the ironclad.
These steel machines may turn into erupting volcanoes at any time, razing the city of Los Angeles to the ground in an angry eruption!
