Section 747 Angry America
Chen Ada immediately sent 2,000 marines into the agricultural area to help these Chinese, and at the same time collected the arms of the local Americans, although there were not as many Chinese as the local Americans, there were 20,000 or 30,000 people, and most of them were young male adventurers, and they were armed to resist a large force.

At the same time, Chen Ada also got the news from San Francisco, the United States West Coast Navy is not even as strong as Hawaii here, so it has also been purged by the Ming Navy, and the Daming Navy Department even delivered an ironclad ship in the United Steel Shipyard in San Francisco, which is for the completion of the construction of the USS Oregon ironclad ship, which is the only three 10,000-ton ironclad ships built in the United States, but I didn't expect it to be captured by Daming before it was completed.
This is good news, which means that the Ming Navy controls the sea control of the Pacific route, and opens up the route from Hawaii and even the port of Daming to San Francisco.
While cooperating with the Chinese to wipe out the American plantation owners, Chen Ada began to arrange naval cruises, informing China that it was time to take the Central Pacific route, and that from the Ryukyus to Hawaii, large merchant ships could sail directly.
When the news reached Daming, Zhu Jinglun was very happy, but he didn't have any instructions, he was waiting for Deng Shicai's decision after arriving in the United States, and he decided to withdraw himself from the war from now on, and look at this war completely as a bystander, so as not to make any irrational decisions.
At this time, the atmosphere in San Francisco was very tense, the original high-flying whites rarely went to the streets, the streets were all Ming soldiers patrolling back and forth, and there were soldiers standing guard at various intersections, although the local residents had been notified that they could resume their previous lives, the Ming Dynasty was a civilized country, protecting private property rights from infringement, but still no one wanted to go on the streets, except for the indispensable purchase of some daily necessities, the only reason to go to the streets was to inquire when the flight from San Francisco would arrive.
The war did not cut off San Francisco from the outside world, although the American cruise ships did not dare to come, but the British steamers would still regularly sail from Vancouver to San Francisco, and the white people of San Francisco, who had some economic strength, wanted to take a boat to Canada, and then transferred to the United States, some to avoid the war, and some planned to participate in the war, they needed to go to the eastern part of the United States, and the corresponding country called for enlistment.
The military action of the Ming Dynasty did not frighten the country, but on the contrary, provoked the anger of the whole country.
They never thought that their injustice to the Chinese was the cause of this war, and they were bent on believing that it was the Ming Dynasty, a barbaric eastern country, that invaded them for no reason and attacked them.
The Ming Dynasty's declaration of war on the United States not only did not make Americans reflect on their racism, but made them think that their previous anti-Chinese were all right, you see, now that the war broke out, those Chinese people picked up guns to treat the United States of America that gave them a chance to survive, which is not enough to show that this country has long had bad intentions towards the United States, this race has been seeking to harm the United States, shouldn't such a race be driven out of the United States.
In fact, racism is not a concept of right and wrong, and the ancient Chinese have long known this truth: those who are not of our race will have different hearts.
Angry San Franciscans, even Californians, and even the whole of Americans, they actively responded to the government's call and began to go to one military station after another to sign up for the army, from the point of view of initiative, Americans are quite patriotic, they scold the president unscrupulously, but they can shout the banner of freedom and charge, because when they spew out that the president is a son of a bitch, they can indeed feel the freedom that the United States has given them.
According to the news that has been received, after the declaration of war by the Ming Dynasty, the US Congress unanimously passed the naval budget, and decided to make every effort to build 50 main ironclad ships and 100 armored cruisers, no time, as fast as they can, once their shipbuilding plan is completed, they will have the world's second largest navy, the number of ironclad ships is larger than the 30 ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty (including the captured French ironclad ships), and the number of cruisers will far exceed that of the Ming Dynasty, and even in terms of comprehensive strength, they will be on a par with the British.
What Zhu Jinglun feared most had happened, that is, the United States began to prepare for war in an all-out way, instead of deciding on peace talks.
But this is within Daming's expectations.
Building ironclad ships is not an overnight thing, before the Ming Dynasty fought against France, but it took nearly three years to complete the construction of ironclad ships and armored cruisers, and built twenty ironclad ships, ten armored cruisers, although the United States has developed industry, but the level of shipbuilding is not high, after the Civil War, their shipbuilding level has declined significantly, especially in the technology of manufacturing warships, there is a serious lack of reserves, and warships also need to imitate Britain is an example, but their terrible industrial strength, once transformed into shipbuilding capabilities, It's still terrifying.
After receiving these news, the Ming Dynasty also decided to expand the strength of the Ming Navy on a large scale, quickly issued bonds, allocated funds to build new ships, and built 30 new ironclad ships, 20 7,000-ton second-class ironclad ships, and 10 10,000-ton first-class ironclad ships, which were on par with the United States in terms of the number of ironclad ships, and at the same time built as many as 50 armored cruisers, with a unified model of 5,000 tons.
It's just that although both sides have announced the construction of warships, before the end of the war, whether these warships can form combat effectiveness is still unknown, because since the era of Napoleon, the war in Europe is generally not too long, and the experience of the Franco-Prussian War made Western countries think that modern war is a short and fierce war until before World War I.
Although the Ming Dynasty fought with France in Vietnam for two years, everyone generally believes that it was because the Ming Dynasty's combat effectiveness was not good, and in the case of completely encircling France, it was impossible to overcome the French defense line.
When Deng Shicai arrived in the United States, he happened to see a British merchant ship anchored in the port, this is not a regular cruise ship, but there is an endless stream of Americans boarding the ship, they carry a lot of salutes, obviously do not intend to do short-term fulfillment, the dock is full of Ming soldiers, but when passing by the Ming soldiers, the Americans do not have any good faces, they do not speak, but the psychology will never say anything good.
Seeing their hateful eyes, and the determination to leave the port, Deng Shicai felt a heavy burden as soon as he arrived at this place, he knew that this battle would definitely not be like the last time he fought with the French, Da Ming was here, and it was impossible to get the support of the locals.
However, when he met with Lu Yunqi, he immediately corrected his thoughts, and Daming could at least get the support of one group, the Indians living all over the United States.
