Politics has always been cruel, leaving a chance for the enemy is not leaving a chance for yourself, so Li Mu will not leave any handle for others, although Washington is not Li Mu's sphere of influence, but this does not mean that Li Mu has no influence in Washington, Ulysses Grant era, Li Mu has many friends in Washington, especially in the Washington Police Department, Li Mu can find a lot of people willing to work for money casually, for the police in other places, the president may still be a little awe-inspiring, But for the police in Washington, the president is the least rare, even rarer than the police, because everyone wants to be president, not everyone wants to be a police officer.

The best thing is that Zach Richardson is not Li Mu's friend, Li Mu doesn't even know Zach Richardson, Zach Richardson is a friend of Ulysses Grant's brother-in-law Abel and Abel has now lived in Paris for many years, so even if Zach Richardson is picked up, Li Mu will not be contacted.

To Zach Richardson's disappointment, Charles Gitéo did not do anything inside the church, and if Charles Gitéo did, then Zach Richardson would have received $100000 after Zach Richardson killed Charles Gitéo.

Don't think that you are used to Li Mu's income, and think that this $10,000 is not enough, in fact, it is enough, this money is enough to buy a state senator in this year, and it is enough to buy Zach Richardson, the salary of the Washington police is not as high as that of the New York police, if you only earn $100000 from the normal salary, Zach Richardson will have to work hard for ten years, and now, only Zach Richardson needs to fulfill a responsibility as a police officer at the right time. Richardson would be paid the equivalent of about ten years, so there was no reason for Zach Richardson to refuse the money.

Even if Zach Richardson doesn't want to make this money, there are other police officers who are willing to make it, and when Chu Wushuang's people find Zach Richardson, Zach Richardson no longer has the right to refuse, refusal, which means that this Zach Richardson will be killed, and it will definitely be the kind of death that will be made into an accidental death, so it is easy for Zach Richardson to make a choice.

When Charles Giteo came out of the church, someone immediately came up: "Hey Charles, I heard that you are going to do something for the Democratic Party, when will you act?" We'll all wait and see. ”

It was Charles Giteo who spoke with a drinking friend he met in the tavern, Charles Giteo has never shied away from the fact that he wants to do something for the Democratic Party, and he has mentioned it to many people, but no one has ever thought that Charles Giteo will really do it, and like most people who are drunk and gaffe, most people think that Charles Giteo is just bragging, and only Charles Giteo himself knows that he is really putting it into action.

"No, I can't be presumptuous in front of God, and there are too many people in the church, I can't bother those innocent." Charles Gitéo was a little frustrated, at this time James Garfield had already left in a car under the protection of his bodyguards, even if Charles Gitéo wanted to do it, there was no chance.

One thing to be noted is that this is really not an excuse, Charles Giteo really thinks so, so far, Charles Giteo does not recognize how crazy his idea is, killing James Garfield is what Charles Giteo thinks is the right thing, this idea is ingrained in Charles Giteo's mind, and Charles Giteo is a stubborn person.

"Then we'll wait and see what you do, don't let us down." The drinking buddies laughed and walked away.

"I'll do it, you'll see." Charles Gitéo shook his fist at the back of his drinking friend, regretting that he hadn't fired just now.

Once the opportunity is missed, it is not easy to find the opportunity, after this day, Charles Giteo stayed in Washington for a month in order to find an opportunity, during this month, Charles Giteo's luck has been very good, not only found a good Samaritan who is willing to provide a house for Charles Giteo to live in, but also often meets drinking friends in the tavern who are willing to invite Charles Giteo to have a drink, and even Charles Giteo will pick up money when walking on the street, which makes Charles Giteo Gitéo could stay in Washington and continue to look for opportunities.

In the original history, after Charles Giteo assassinated James Garfield, the U.S. police released the results of the investigation of Charles Gitéo, and it was found that Charles Giteo borrowed $30 from someone to come to Washington, and then stayed in Washington for three months, and finally Charles Giteo finally found an opportunity to shoot James Garfield.

I don't know how Congress believed the results of this police investigation, probably the Congress is full of "why not eat minced meat" guys, so they don't know how much money it costs to live in Washington for three months.

Of course, it is more likely that Congress does not want to know at all, and that what Congress wants to see is an investigative report, not what is in the investigative report.

On December 24th, the eve of Christmas, Charles Gitéo finally heard another news about James Garfield in a tavern at the train station, and it was another good opportunity for James Garfield to go to the train station with Mrs. Garfield tomorrow morning to see off his friends.

Yes, Charles Giteo can often get this kind of news, otherwise Charles Gitéo would not have known that James Garfield was going to church for worship, and it was impossible for the Presidential Palace to announce James Garfield's whereabouts in advance, just to prevent people like Charles Gitéo, and Charles Giteo would not be able to stand guard at the gate of the Presidential Palace every day, and the guards would check anyone they thought was suspicious.

Therefore, the tavern has become the best source of information, don't ask why any one of the drinking friends in the tavern has news of James Garfield, maybe the guy who spoke is himself a staff member of James Garfield, the staff around the president has not experienced as much secrecy education in the 21st century, so anything can happen.

Like the last time, Charles Giteo went to Baltimore and the Potomac train the next day, to Charles Gityo's surprise, the news in the tavern was very accurate, at ten o'clock in the morning, James Garfield did appear at the train station with Mrs. Garfield to see off a friend, and the person who got on the train, Charles Gitéo, knew that it was the New York tycoon Rockefeller.

This is normal, if Rockefeller is returning to New York after spending Christmas Eve with James Garfield, James Garfield is indeed going to see him off.

When James Garfield and his wife waved goodbye to Rockefeller on the platform, like the last time, Charles Giteo was less than five meters behind James Garfield, but Charles Giteo hesitated again this time.

This time there was no God present, and the reason why Charles Giteo did not do it was because Charles Gitéo found that Mrs. Garfield's health did not seem to be very good, so Charles Giteo thought that Mrs. Garfield, who was not in good health, might not be able to bear to witness her husband being shot.

Well, actually, it doesn't matter, even if Charles Giteo doesn't do it this time, Charles Giteo can continue to find opportunities, because the information in the tavern has always been accurate.

At Christmas, Li Mu had arrived in Vladivostok and stayed in the private residence of the former Russian Governor-General of Eastern Siberia.

This private residence is actually a castle-like building, the appearance is very Russian, each roof is a standard helmet-style dome, the exterior wall paint is red and white, the castle has a total of 150 rooms, Vladivostok originally wanted to transform the castle into a military camp, but after Li Mu arrived in Vladivostok, Vladivostok sold the castle to Li Mu for $5,000.

This price is not cheap, everyone knows that the entire Vladivostok Prefecture was bought by Li Mu, so strictly speaking, the entire Vladivostok Prefecture belongs to Li Mu's private ownership, which was originally Li Mu's thing, and now it is just a matter of returning to the original owner, in fact, the Vladivostok Oblast government is more willing to give this castle to Li Mu, but Li Mu does not accept this kindness, the reason is that the current Vladivostok Prefecture needs money more, and any resources cannot be wasted.

It is true that it cannot be wasted, Vladivostok covers a large area, the basic conditions of the city are still very good, the Russians were originally operating Vladivostok as a permanent city, so Vladivostok has a complete underground pipe network facilities and urban transportation system, and the Russians did not have time to destroy all this when they withdrew, which reduced a lot of trouble for the Vladivostok Oblast government.

Of course, there are still a lot of troubles, the Russians have coveted Vladivostok for a long time, but in fact, it was not until 1860, that is, 20 years ago, that the Russian government forced the Qing government to cede Vladivostok to Russia, which is also the reason why the Russian government easily gave up Vladivostok, because it was too easy, unlike Britain and France, which went into battle shirtless, the Russian government did not pay any price for obtaining Vladivostok, and it was after the Second Opium War that the Qing government was forced to cede Vladivostok.

This is the level of cunning of the Russians, the British and the French launched the Opium War, and as a result, the Russians got the biggest benefit, and this benefit was obtained by full-screen blackmail, so many times, liars are more hateful than robbers, because robbers just rely on their bodies to bully people, and the robbed people can also say "skills are not as good as people", and liars are bullying people from IQ, which makes people feel that "the days are all alive to dogs", and this behavior is more hateful to some extent.

Because the time to own Vladivostok is too short, so the Russians have not had time to build in Vladivostok, to be exact, as far as Vladivostok is concerned, most of the achievements in Vladivostok are still completed by Russians hired by Chinese and Koreans, so although the scale of Vladivostok's land is large, but the urban facilities are not perfect enough, at least 100,000 people can not live for 100,000 people, and at present, most of the 100,000 immigrants in Vladivostok rely on external support to maintain their livelihoods, so the waste is really shameful.

In fact, the materials are still very rich, at least with Japan and the Ryukyus as a support, the Chinese who have just moved to Vladivostok have clothes to wear and food, although the place to live is not perfect enough, but compared to the days in the Qing Kingdom is already a world of difference.

The Vladivostok government did not let 100,000 people sit idle, except for children, even women, if they want to get food and warm clothes, they have to rely on their jobs to obtain them from the Vladivostok government, this means is very tight, and immediately reassures the hearts of new immigrants and gives them hope for the future.

"The winter temperature in Vladivostok is very low, and outdoor activities are almost impossible, so the immigration work is basically stagnant at present, but the staff we sent to Qing are not idle, they are counting those Chinese who are willing to emigrate to Vladivostok, and they will be sent over as soon as spring next year." Although there are many difficulties faced, Chen Guofang is still very optimistic, with Li Mu and Junma Group as backers, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

"100,000 people, it's not easy to settle them, is there so much work for them?" Li Mu is more worried about the current 100,000 people, compared to the future immigrants, the current 100,000 people are their last shift, if the Chinese who immigrate to Vladivostok in the future find that these early immigrants do not look like people and ghosts, then I am afraid that they will instantly feel deceived to hell, which will be a devastating blow to the future immigration work of Vladivostok.

"Yes, I let them smash stones, there are mountains everywhere here, some are stones for them to smash, let them smash stones this winter, after the spring next year, these stones can be used to build roads, can be used to make house foundations, can be used to make mortar, anyway, there are many uses, next year, we have to build enough houses for 300,000 people to live, this problem is still very difficult, if you add road construction, 100,000 people to smash a winter of stones may not be enough." Chen Guofang arranged it well, in fact, even if the stones are useless, it's okay, the important thing is to find work for so many people, so that they don't have time to think nonsense, and after the beginning of spring, there will naturally be a lot of work waiting for them to do, when the time comes, they will build houses, open up wasteland, farm, and welcome a new life.

This is the cutest point of immigrants, lazy people will not immigrate, because they are too lazy to move, so as long as these diligent guys are given a chance, they will burst out with amazing subjective initiative, and the Great Northern Wilderness was developed in this way.

Maybe the immigrants don't have such lofty ideals, but their desire to live a good life is just as urgent, and that's enough, in Vladivostok, they have opportunities that they can't get in the Qing Empire.
