The Qing Empire is not Cuba, not Panama, not Luzon, a country with a population of 450 million, Li Mu thinks that he can't afford such a big responsibility, so Li Mu chooses a simpler way, cultivates more talents, and lets those people of insight solve this problem.

In any case, Li Mu can be sure that the Chinese in this time and space should not experience so many tribulations experienced by the Chinese in another time and space, at least there will be no Sino-Japanese War in this time and space, and there will be no arduous eight-year War of Resistance.

What's more, with Li Mu and the Junma Group, the Chinese in this time and space will definitely not be surrounded and intercepted in another time and space, as long as the Chinese establish their own country, Li Mu will definitely spare no effort to export technology and capital, coupled with a steady stream of talents, the Chinese will rise again sooner or later, Li Mu believes that he can see all this in his lifetime.

Heading into October, James Garfield and his campaign team returned to their base camp in New York after a nationwide canvassing tour in preparation for the national elections that begin in November.

Even if Stallion Telecom and Stallion Construction went all out, before October, they only extended the broadcast system to New England and nearby Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., and other areas were beyond the reach of the whip.

But that's enough, as long as the Republican Party's traditional advantage can be successfully won, and it will be enough to ensure that James Garfield wins.

Li Mu still arranged for James Garfield to go to the broadcasting company to conduct three public canvassing before the election began, trying to get as many points as possible for James Garfield.

Of course, in order to look fairer, the broadcaster also gave Samuel Tilden two chances, but there was still a bias in the choice of time, and the broadcaster arranged for James Garfield to broadcast in prime time, and the duration was longer, and there was basically not much deletion.

The one for Samuel Tilden was different, except that the time period was not very good, and the editors of the broadcaster made some technical "adjustments" to Samuel Tilden's speech, which made Samuel Tilden's speech far less effective than expected.

Li Mu feels that the broadcaster has shown enough bias on this issue, but there are still many Republicans who are dissatisfied, they believe that the broadcaster should stand firm and not give Samuel Tilden any chance, and the broadcaster's current behavior is tantamount to betting on both sides, which is standard speculation.

"No matter what we think, the most important thing for the news media is to take a fair position, of course we can have a choice, the media people can be Republicans or Democrats, but at least we have to look impartial and maintain a fair position, so that the news media can have a better initiative, otherwise it will be like the Democratic Party's "Echo", except for the hardcore Democrats, no one will buy "The Echo", but everyone will buy "Time", Not just Republicans and middle voters, but also a section of enlightened Democrats, and that's where fair positions come in. Li Mu still explained to James Garfield that before he went to the last step, Li Mu was still unwilling to tear his face with James Garfield.

No one wants to be a villain, Li Mu is even more unwilling, there is no impermeable wall in the world, if Li Mu really braves the world's disapproval, then even if Li Mu does it secretly, there is a possibility of leaking, unless Li Mu kills all the insiders, but that is impossible, because Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang, who are handling this matter, Li Mu will not attack Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang, considering the status of Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang among the first generation of Chinese Americans, unless Li Mu wants to completely turn his face with those first-generation Chinese, Otherwise, Li Mu would have to maintain a good relationship with Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang.

"Ream, you don't need to explain it to me, I believe you, your Time magazine has beaten the Echo backwards, the Echo is simply crushed, you are professional in the field of propaganda, so you don't have to explain it to anyone." James Garfield is quite smart, maybe in the field of education, James Garfield does have an opinion on Li Mu, but in the field of propaganda, the authority of Li Mu and Time Magazine is unshakable, coupled with the nascent broadcasting system, Li Mu's authority in this regard will continue to strengthen in the future.

This is also one of the benefits of being a "traverser", before that, whether it is a Democrat or a Republican, there is no real attention to propaganda and public opinion, before Li Mu founded "Time Magazine", before the start of the presidential election, Democrats and Republicans are more in the newspaper to expose each other's old bottoms, expose each other's black materials, sometimes even carry out personal attacks, there is no planned propaganda plan and public opinion guidance, "Time Magazine" In this regard, it can be said that it is ahead of all newspapers in the world, and in view of the fact that the literacy rate of people in this era is not high, Time Magazine has achieved very good results by using a large number of comics and advertorials, and newspapers like "Echo" are vulnerable.

In fact, "The Echo" has now begun to use comics and advertorials, learning the propaganda methods of "Time Magazine", but the gap is still a bit big, similar to comics and advertorials This kind of technical content is not something that can be learned by throwing money, the strength of "Time Magazine" lies in the accumulation that began earlier, and the attraction of talents, even if it is a waste of money, "Time Magazine" is not at all afraid of "The Echo", so in a short period of time, "Time Magazine" still has a crushing advantage in the face of "Echo".

Of course, this advantage will not shrink in the foreseeable future, and it will get bigger and bigger, "Time Magazine" now has the assistance of the broadcaster, in the future, Li Mu will also let Nikola Tesla start to study radar, in the process of researching radar, television will also be invented by the way, and then the gap will be widened to a level that makes the Democrats desperate, it can be said that within a few decades, as long as Li Mu is there, the Democrats should not expect to defeat the Republicans in the field of propaganda, This is the area where the Republicans have the greatest advantage over the Democrats.

"You may not think so, but other people may think so, in fact, in this era, we are all involuntarily, you have to run all over the country to run for president, find as many allies as possible, make sure that we can still suppress the Democratic Party in the next four years, and I want to fight for the interests of the Chinese people in the United States as much as possible, even if sometimes it hurts other ethnic groups, I have reasons why I can't back down, you can understand, I can understand, but some people won't understand." Li Mu was generous to James Garfield for the last time, if the effect is not bad, then everything will be fine, if Li Mu does not get enough response, then Li Mu will start Plan B in advance.

Even if Li Mu doesn't say it, James Garfield also understands that Li Mu will try his best to fight for the interests of the Chinese, which of course will hurt the interests of other ethnic groups, the materials produced by the United States every year are just like this, and it has not yet reached the point where the whole world is woolened by the United States, the Chinese eat more beef, others will eat less beef, and the Chinese will take one more egg, and the others will get one less egg, which is a very real problem.

In fact, it is in the United States, if it is another country, Li Mu really can't be so arrogant, as an immigrant, no matter how arrogant Li Mu is, he must also take into account the interests of the aborigines.

Don't worry about this problem in the United States, the aborigines of the United States are Indians, and now the Indians are either driven to the western mountains, or are locked in cages on reservations, all whites, blacks, Chinese, and Mexicans are new immigrants, and there is no question of who robs whom, everyone grabs the Indians together, it's just a matter of grabbing more or less, and those who are not big enough are not qualified to let the people with big fists carry forward their style, so they can only wait for the people with big fists to eat enough, and then pick up some leftovers.

"Of course, I can understand that if it were me, I would do the same." James Garfield said nothing wrong, but this is exactly what Li Mu is most worried about.

If James Garfield took the opportunity to make some persuasions to Li Mu, put forward some suggestions of his own to the Horse Affiliated School and Springfield Institute of Technology, and even complained about Li Mu and made some demands on Li Mu, then Li Mu would be more at ease.

It is precisely this "I can understand" that may bring about the variables that Li Mu is most unwilling to see.

The word "understand" is very elastic, and it can be understood to mean that James Garfield can accept Li Mu doing this, or it can be understood that James Garfield can understand why Li Mu did this, but James Garfield can't accept it.

In other words, if James Garfield becomes the president of the United States in the future, then if James Garfield begins to restrict Li Mu and the Junma Group, then James Garfield can also say at that time: I also hope that Reem you can understand, I don't want to do this, but I have to do it.

"That's good, so I can rest assured, it looks like I'll get a good night's sleep, you may not know, more than one person has reminded me that there may be some degree of misunderstanding between you and me, and now it seems that there is no need to worry at all, we are all adults and we all know what we are doing." Li Mu was still smiling when he spoke, in fact, he was roaring in his heart, this is too unlucky, I knew it would be like this, Li Mu would rather cooperate with Samuel Tilden, at least Samuel Tilden will give Li Mu more promises that Li Mu wants, and Li Mu doesn't have to worry that Samuel Tilden can't do it, because the Democratic Party wants to pull Li Mu into the camp of the Democratic Party, so no matter what Samuel Tilden promised Li Mu, even if Samuel Tilden promised the Ministry of War that he would give Junma Arms Company an order of 100 million US dollars, Then Samuel Tilden will definitely do the same.

This is not whimsical, 100 million US dollars sounds like a lot, and Washington does not have so much money, but this is not a problem, a long time ago, Washington has begun to borrow from the Junma Group, Li Mu purchased treasury bonds and loans to Washington, as well as arrears for various orders, the cumulative amount has exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the interest that Washington has to pay to Li Mu every year is more than 15 million US dollars.

Li Mu's words are actually reminding James Garfield, hoping that James Garfield knows what he is doing, as the largest creditor of the US government, as the boss of the Horse Group, it is unwise to choose to go against Li Mu, even if James Garfield is elected president in the future, it is not wise to go against Li Mu, in the United States, there has always been a cooperative relationship between consortia and politicians, and there has never been an antagonism. Garfield can't see enough.

"How can there be a misunderstanding between us, we are friends, aren't we, we have always been close to each other, we have always worked together happily, I believe that in the future, the good relationship between us will go further, as for those who spread rumors, they will not see the light at all." James Garfield's words were as sincere as taking an oath in church.

If it weren't for Li Mu having his own news channel, then Li Mu might still really believe it, now of course Li Mu won't say anything, and enthusiastically sent James Garfield away, Li Mu turned around and called Situ Lei: "Situ, prepare to start Plan B, do it cleanly." ”

Yes, Li Mu has given up on improving relations with James Garfield, and in today's meeting, Li Mu did not find even the slightest sincerity from James Garfield, which made Li Mu disheartened.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not bad to replace Arthur as president, although Arthur is not willing to come forward, but if James Garfield cannot perform the presidency, then Arthur can only be on top.

If Arthur succeeds him, then Li Mu doesn't have to worry about any problems, Arthur will definitely not stumble on Li Mu, on the contrary, Arthur will do everything possible to protect Li Mu's interests, even if it will damage the interests of the United States, Li Mu believes that Arthur will not betray the friendship with him.

This kind of friendship is the real iron, compared to Arthur, the friendship between James Garfield and Li Mu is not even a plastic flower.

"Okay, no problem." Situ Lei didn't say much, and soon hung up the phone, although the call between Li Mu and Situ Lei would not be spread, but on the phone, Situ Lei never said much.

The partition wall has ears.

In fact, don't worry, now the telephone operators are all employees of Junma Telecom, and if they dare to pass on the content of the boss's call, they don't want to live.
