Although on the surface, the Bahamas company and the horse group have no subordinate relationship, but as long as the comprehensive personnel, capital, company structure and other considerations, it is not difficult to analyze the relationship between Li Mu and the Bahamas company, after all, as far as the world is concerned, the horse group dares to play cross-border like this, and it is an obvious fact that if there is no support from a large company behind it, it is not easy to set up a company with a strong military background like the Bahamian company, even the US government is not easy to do.

This is not an exaggeration, in fact, enterprises have greater freedom than the government, in terms of capital allocation and staffing, enterprises and the government have obvious advantages, such as the Bahamas company, Mike Zhang only needs to be responsible for Li Mu himself, even if the Bahamas company's operating conditions are not satisfactory, but as long as Li Mu thinks that the vision can be expected, then Mike Zhang will be safe, the government is different, such as Hayes, although you are the president of the United States, but you have to be responsible to Congress, as long as Congress believes that Hayes's work is not qualified, Even if Hayes said that the sky fell, Hayes could not escape the fate of stepping down.

This is the best era, but also the worst era, capital has an almost invincible charm, even the country, in the face of absolute capital superiority has to retreat, such as the current Haitian government, even if it knows that the Bahamas company is nothing to do, but still try to entrust John to Li Mu humiliation and peace.

Perhaps this is indeed a humiliation for President Pierre, but the crux of the matter is that Li Mu may not necessarily accept it

"First of all, with regard to piracy, President Pierre, on behalf of the Haitian government, can guarantee that absolutely no pirates have escaped into Haiti, and that the Haitian government can cooperate with the Bahamian company in any form of investigation, but first of all, it will stop the Bahamian company's war against Haiti" As a lawyer, John Harun is still very disciplined and speaks completely from the position of the Haitian government.

Li Mu was noncommittal about this, and continued to wait for John's conditions, about piracy, this was originally a rogue act made out of nothing, in fact, not only Li Mu knew that no pirates fled into Haiti, but the Haitian government also knew that this was an excuse for war, and it didn't matter what the truth was, the important thing was that the Bahamian company had occupied Cape Haiti and was actively preparing to attack inland, which made the Haitian government have to pay attention.

Oh, and the Bahamian company has changed the name of the city back to "Cap-de-France" after taking possession of Cap-Haitien, a move that clearly curries favor with the French and the British, who see it as a "return of civilization" and a precursor to a return to calm in the Caribbean, while the French sing praises and create a wave of opposition to the government at home.

The massacre of the French in Haiti by the Haitian blacks has become an eternal pain in the hearts of the French, and every French person hopes that the country can avenge the French people, but the French government's performance in this regard has disappointed the French, and even what the French government could not do, now it has been done by a commercial company, which has finally released the anger accumulated in the hearts of the French.

There is a deeper reason why the French and the British reacted so violently, you must know that Haiti was a French colony before, and the massacre of the French by the Haitian blacks was also the first time that the descendants of the British and French colonists were slaughtered, which made the British and the French feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts, if colonies all over the world treated the descendants of the colonists like this, it would be the end of the world for the French and the British.

Look at the size of the British and French mainlands, which are nothing if they lose their colonies.

"The Haitian government can compensate for the losses suffered by the Bahamian company in the previous war, but the amount of compensation will be determined by the third-party observation team, and we will discuss the composition of the observation team," John Harlan finally said the key part, but he still played a trick, which made Li Mu feel impatient.

"It seems that our President Pierre has not yet recognized the situation, is it not enough to impress President Pierre with the artillery of the Bahamian company? It doesn't matter, after a while, I believe that President Pierre will offer reasonable terms. Li Mu didn't look at John, and chatted happily with Ulysses Grant.

"Hehe, there are always people who don't know the times, it's normal, Reem, I'm going to tell you a story" Ulysses Grant ignored John Harlan's increasingly ugly face, and told his own story: "During the Civil War, after William William Cussey Sherman and I were ordered to form the Tennessee Front, we were ordered to attack Vicksburg, Vicksburg is located in the middle reaches of the Mississippi River, controlling the entire Mississippi River, Robert ordered Pember to defend Vicksburg, and the battle lasted for seven months, The final result we all know, we won the final victory, Pember's unconditional surrender, which also became one of the most important turning points in the Civil War, in the war, Pember had asked for a ceasefire, let the civilians leave the battlefield, I refused this request, many people called me ruthless, but I want to say that the war never has room for emotion, let the civilians of Vicksburg leave the city, that would reduce the burden on the defenders, increase our difficulty, Perhaps letting civilians go is indeed a sign of our humanitarianism, but it is irresponsible to our fighters, so Reem, think about your original goal and don't be disturbed. ”

In the Battle of Vicksburg, in which between 3 and 4,000 citizens, mostly women and children, died of starvation and artillery bombardment caused by the siege, Grant captured this strategically important city in July 1863, allowing him to take complete control of the Mississippi River basin and begin to threaten the rear of the South.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Vicksburg was a turning point in the Civil War, it is also the most important battle in Ulysses Grant's military career, Ulysses Grant won the final victory, and then successfully ascended to the presidency and reached the pinnacle of life, as for Robert Lee and Pombel of the Confederate Army, they have disappeared into the long river of history, and in the future, only at a special point in time, will people mention their names.

"Mr. President, you should know how much I love to hear about your past, and I really want to be born in that era so that I can fight side by side with you." Li Mu's sycophant Ulysses Grant is extremely comfortable, this is not all flattery, regardless of whether Ulysses Grant is a good president or not, as a soldier, Ulysses Grant's achievements need to be looked up to by Li Mu.

"Hahahaha, if you were born in that era, you would have achieved more than me, maybe we could have ended the war two years earlier." Ulysses Grant laughed and touted each other with Li Mu.

It's not all hype, if the Horse Group was born during the Civil War, then maybe it could really speed up the course of the war, imagine that scenario, if the Northern Army at that time was equipped with rapid-fire machine guns and rapid-fire guns, it would definitely not take seven months for Ulysses Grant to capture Vicksburg.

"Mr. Ream, Mr. Grant, aren't we talking about Haiti?" Faced with the two people who praised each other, John Harlan was really helpless.

"There's nothing to discuss about Haiti, didn't you hear what Mr. President just said? Pumbell's unconditional surrender, this is what we want, the Haitian government wants to surrender unconditionally, so don't think about anything like a ceasefire, compensation, etc., I'm afraid you don't know that Cap-Haïtien has been renamed Cap-de-France, right?" Li Mu's answer was very arrogant, and at the same time made a deep meaning.

In the early days of the Civil War, there was still a strong tradition of European aristocracy in the United States, and whenever the war reached a certain stage, there should be a certain period of ceasefire to allow the soldiers on both sides to rest and leave enough time for the commander to adjust.

Ulysses Grant broke this tradition, and during the attack on Fort Henry and Fort Douglas, Ulysses Grant rejected the request of the Confederate army to make a truce for a short time according to the practice of war, which was also the first time that Grant proposed the term "unconditional surrender" in the civil war, and this term has since been used throughout all acts of the war after Grant.

After the mercenaries of the Bahamian company occupied Cap-Haïtien, Jérémy Heywood had come to Cap-Haïtien to officially announce the restoration of the Republic of Haiti, and at the same time, Jérémy Heywood also confirmed that Cap-Haïtien, renamed Cap-de-France, would also become the capital of the Republic of Haiti.

The current capital of Haiti is Port-au-Prince, and Port-au-Prince is part of the agreement between Jérémy Haywood and the Bahamian Company, so Jérémy Haywood has designated the special significance of "Cap-de-France" as the capital of the Republic of Haiti, which is also to dilute the deal with the Bahamian Company.

"Cap-de-France, there's no point in emphasizing this now, after all, so much time has passed, and we should face the future." John Harlan has a sharp mouth, maybe a different person, was fooled by John Harlan.

Li Mu was obviously not fooled, and looked at John Harlan with an extremely serious gaze: "We can't forget history, and those who forget history will also be forgotten by history, the so-called past will not forget, and the future will be the teacher, so we must remember history, just like Mr. President said, remember our original purpose, and we can't be confused by the small victories in front of us, there are still greater victories waiting for us to fight." ”

Li Mu is going to fight to the end, and it is impossible for John Harun to change Li Mu's mind, so John Harun immediately resigned, and he also reminded the Haitian government as soon as possible that it is best to give up unrealistic illusions and be ready to break the kettle with the Bahamian company.

"Doing so provokes strong resistance from the Haitian government and causes more difficulties for no reason, which is not what a good businessman should do." Ulysses Grant also began to suspect Li Mu's purpose.

In Ulysses Grant's mind, probably the Bahamas Company's war against the Haitian government was more out of Liwei considerations, and Li Mu's ultimate goal may only be to blackmail the Haitian government, at most it is about money, and it will not rise to the level of national destruction.

So in this case, Ulysses Grant's suggestion to Li Mu is moderate, even if Ulysses Grant's words mean not to forget the original intention, it is only to increase the blackmail bargaining chips, not to encourage Li Mu to subvert a country, which is beyond Ulysses Grant's understanding of "business".

In fact, the means of expansion in the Western countries are almost the same, because the population of the Western countries was limited in the early days, so in the process of implementing expansion, they had to rely on the power of the locals to implement a method similar to "razing to raze" to maintain their colonial rule, and once there is no hidden danger of population, the methods of the Westerners are extremely cruel, look at how the United States treats the Indians, you will know how brutal the white people themselves are.

Relatively speaking, the Chinese are much more moderate in this regard, don't look at the current Qing Empire is still implementing a "Ding reduction policy" for ethnic minorities, but that is not dominated by the Chinese, the Chinese are best at "educating the four people", using the core culture to influence others, once the culture is recognized, the de facto annexation will be as natural as boiling a frog in warm water.

As an American, Li Mu can't use the core culture to influence Haitians, and Li Mu himself doesn't think that Haitian blacks can be educated, so it's better to be more simply, Haitians die in the war is better than the massacre after the war: "I'm not a good businessman, you know what the outside say about me, and the phrase arms dealer doesn't look like a compliment." ”

"No, no, no, don't care what others say, I know what kind of person you are, although I also admit that some of your actions do seem to be a bit selfish, but it is undeniable that the things you have done to the Chinese people, although the vast majority of the beneficiaries are Chinese, but in the end it is also beneficial to the United States, so don't be sad, some people are always unreasonable, unless you give him all your wealth, there will always be people who are not satisfied." Ulysses Grant, who has been in the position of president for eight years, has seen through it because of his relationship with Li Mu, and from Ulysses Grant's point of view, he can find more shining points in Li Mu.

"Ha, if you didn't say it, I didn't expect me to be so great." Li Mu laughed, this is exactly the idea that Li Mu wants to spread to others, mixing racism with nationalism.

"Otherwise, why do you think that you, a Chinese, can create such a big industry as the Junma Group in such a short period of time? If it weren't for your actions that were good for the country, Washington would not have allowed so many key industries to be controlled by a single Chinese. Ulysses Grant laughed slyly and weirdly, no one in this world has ever been a fool.
