Edmund Stevenson, is an unexpected surprise prepared by Li Mu for Chris Bart, as Chris Bart's lieutenant colonel, it is not difficult to see Edmund Stevenson, but it is almost impossible to attract the attention of Edmund Stevenson, Li Mu is equivalent to creating an opportunity for Chris Bart, after all, if the Bahamian company wants to gain a foothold in the Caribbean in the future, it also needs the cooperation of the Guantanamo Navy.

"It is necessary to pay attention to the relationship with Guantanamo, which is the key to whether the Bahamian company can gain a foothold in the shortest possible time, of course, there is no need to accommodate Guantanamo because of this, and it should be tough when it should be tough-" Li Mu thought for a long time before finding a suitable way to tell Mike Zhang: "It's similar to your previous relationship with the New York City Police Department in New York." ”

Mike Zhang before coming to the Bahamas, has been serving in Springfield Security Company, Mike Zhang has part of his job is to be responsible for docking with the New York City Police Department, it turns out that if given certain conditions, the Chinese are indeed good at pulling relations, in New York, Mike Zhang gave full play to his advantages in interpersonal communication, and has a lot of activity funds in his hands to pull relations with the police, Springfield Security Company opened a variety of casinos and also played an important role, but also thanks to the less strict supervision mechanism at this time, Mike Chang has a very good relationship with the New York City Police Department, and also maintains a good relationship with Bresta himself, which is why Li Mu transferred Mike Chang to the Bahamas company, which is more conducive to Mike Chang's strengths.

"Don't worry, Master Li, it won't be long before I will ask His Excellency the Commander and me to cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper." Mike Chang is confident that compared to the police, soldiers are actually more simple and easier to fool, and Mike Chang is confident that it won't take long for him to marry Edmund Stevenson.

"I was trying to remind you, be careful not to confuse Bresta with Edmund Stevenson, who is a commander with a full higher education, and a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, and you think he will be a brother to you? Don't be stupid, you have to hold him. Li Muzheng said that if two people can't grasp the scale in their interactions, then the effect will be counterproductive.

In fact, even Bresta, don't look at Bresta before he was just a little policeman next to Will, but if there was no relationship bonus with Li Mu, Bresta would not be looking at Mike Zhang squarely, so this may give Mike Zhang a false impression, thinking that most Americans are very friendly to the Chinese, this kind of thinking is very dangerous, don't despise anyone in the world, especially people with a certain status, the reason why the superior can be in the position must be extraordinary.

Although Li Mu said it seriously, and he looked down on Mike Zhang, Mike Zhang didn't care, looking at Edmund Stevenson, who was talking and laughing with Chris Bart, Mike Zhang pursed his lips imperceptibly, and said a little sourly: "Don't worry, Master Li, it's not that I don't know what kind of character I am, and I will definitely not spoil your big thing." ”

It seems that this product is quite self-aware, so it's good, if Mike Zhang doesn't know what to do, then it will be Li Mu's turn to have a headache.

Speaking of goods, in fact, Li Mu has always wanted to improve the cultural level of Zhang Leye and Chu Wushuang, at least to make their academic qualifications look like they match the current Junma Group, so as not to be so disobedient, after all, Zhang Leye and Chu Wushuang are not very good on the table strictly speaking, Zhang Leye used to be just a worker, and to put it mildly, he was just an engineer, and Chu Wushuang was a gangster before, and this identity must not match the current senior officials of the Junma Group.

The wish is good, but the reality is cruel, perhaps because of the decline in memory due to being too old, Zhang Leye and Chu Wushuang are very reluctant to the tutor and crash course that Li Mu prepared for them, Zhang Leye is better, Chu Wushuang has been given up by Li Mu, Li Mu hired a tutor for Chu Wushuang for nearly a year, and the result is that Chu Wushuang was finally taught to learn 26 English letters, and there is no other inch.

"Don't be presumptuous, you are now the general manager of the Bahamas company, and you have the most powerful armed forces in the Bahamas, and in the future you may even be the most powerful armed forces in the entire Caribbean, and now you are qualified to be the seat guest of the commander of the US naval base in Guantanamo, what is wrong with such goods?" Li Mu still wants to cheer up Mike Zhang, although Mike Zhang and they all look good on the surface, but in fact, they are inferior in their hearts, Li Mu wants to make them at least confident.

"So, I'm going to make a batch of business cards in a few days—" Mike Chang was a heartless man, and immediately a little swollen.

The business cards of this era, because the printing technology is not up to par, are basically handmade, the cost is quite expensive, and it has not yet reached the level of rotten streets, so Mike Zhang did not have business cards at all before, and now that Mike Zhang has mixed up, making a batch of business cards is also a proper meaning.

"Go ahead, make a batch of gold leaf, and always be worthy of your status as general manager." Li Mu was finally generous and asked Mike Zhang to use gold as a business card.

"If you can't use gold, if you use gold, then how can you be willing to give it away." Mike Zhang is not so wasteful, he makes business cards to show off, if the cost of display is too high, it is not in line with Mike Zhang's character.

"Reem, what are you talking about?" Edmund Stevenson finally remembered the main owner, and walked over with Chris Bart with a cup: "It's hard to imagine that Chris and I are actually alumni, although we are quite different in age, we both graduated from the Annapolis Military Academy. ”

Annapolis Military Academy is the United States Naval Academy, because this school is located in Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, so it is also called "Annapolis Military Academy".

The U.S. Naval Academy was founded in 1845, looking at Edmund Stevenson's age, if Edmund Stevenson had studied at the Naval Academy, then Edmund Stevenson should have been one of the first students.

"Yes, I didn't expect that General Stevenson was actually my senior, which is my honor." Chris Bart was very self-conscious, and immediately sent a high hat over.

Don't think that Americans are all one-size-fits-all and disdainful of human feelings, but in fact it is not like that at all, Americans can also behave very tactfully when needed.

"It's a coincidence that in fact, the Horse School is also considering cooperation with the Annapolis Military Academy, and in the future, more and more people will come into the Annapolis Military Academy, and when I was in Cuba, Alfred and I discussed this issue many times, and we agreed that only by building a strong navy can a strong country be built." Li Mu and Edmund Stevenson also have enough common language.

A preliminary cooperation agreement has been reached between the Horse School and the Annapolis Military Academy, under which the Horse School will donate a special amount to the Annapolis Military Academy in exchange for 50 special enrollment places for the Annapolis Military Academy to absorb graduates of the Horse Affiliated School who are willing to join the Navy to study at the Annapolis Military Academy.

As the only naval academy in the United States, the Annapolis Military Academy is extremely precious, the Qing government sent young children to the United States, one of the purposes is to ask the United States to help the Qing country train a group of naval officers, from the first batch of young children to the United States arrived in the United States, to now will be five years old, the young children of that year, has finally reached the age of entering institutions of higher learning, and at this time, the Annapolis Military Academy suddenly refused to study in the United States on the grounds that there is no enrollment plan.

This is not because the Annapolis Military Academy discriminates against the Chinese, it is indeed because the students enrolled by the Annapolis Military Academy have reached the limit, and the US Navy has finally begun to prepare for foreign expansion this year, and the Navy needs a large number of officers to replenish it, and it really has no spare strength to train naval talents for the Qing Empire.

The graduates of the Horse Affiliated School, some people are willing to join the military, and the cooperation with the Annapolis Military Academy is out of this aspect of the needs, the donation donated by the Horse Affiliated School is specially used to expand the Annapolis Military Academy, not to mention that the graduates of the Horse Affiliated School have all joined the United States, even if they graduate from the Annapolis Military Academy, they will serve the United States Navy, so the Annapolis Military Academy has no reason to refuse.

Some people believe that the Chinese cannot waste their precious lives on helping the United States expand abroad, and that the average student of the Junma School spends more than $500 per graduate in seven years, and that the Chinese must not work for the white people.

This is an extremely short-sighted view, as an American, if the Chinese do not shed blood and sacrifice for the United States, then how can American society accept the Chinese? This is a very real question, the reason why Jews are criticized all over the world is because of the selfishness of the Jews, the Chinese cannot follow the old path of the Jews, and it is okay to sacrifice for the United States, but the sacrifice is valuable, and the sacrifice cannot be silent.

"This is a wise choice, and enterprises should have a certain sense of social responsibility, especially for companies like Junma Group." Edmund Stevenson praised Li Mu.

As an old navy, Edmund Stevenson is of course concerned about the development of the U.S. Navy, and if the Horse Group cooperates with the Annapolis Military Academy, it will win the favor of all the Navy, and at the same time continue to increase the influence of the Horse Group, which is a profitable deal.

"Of course, I know that I got 50 places at the Annapolis Military Academy—" Li Mu inadvertently baited, which was better than writing a check directly to Edmund Stevenson.

"Oh, 50, we'll talk about that later." Edmund Stevenson immediately took the bait, who doesn't have a family friend or something, the Guantanamo naval base does not necessarily get 50 graduates of the Annapolis Military Academy every year.

With a military academy place as a temptation, like a carrot in front of a donkey's nose, Edmund Stevenson immediately responded, and even promised to sell two destroyers that were about to be decommissioned to the Bahamian company at a discount, although these are two destroyers using paddle wheels, but warships are warships, and their performance far exceeds that of civilian ships, which can be regarded as solving the urgent needs of the Bahamian company that urgently needs ships.

The United States is now undergoing a large-scale rearmament, and the propeller-propelled warships will gradually replace the paddle destroyers in a few years, and with the status of the Guantanamo Naval Base in the U.S. Navy, the refitting must be in the second sequence.

Of course, sooner or later, the paddle steamer will be eliminated, so Mike Chang felt quite aggrieved about this deal, so much so that after the banquet, Mike Chang was still chattering.

"Why two paddle steamers? It costs 100,000 US dollars, and 100,000 US dollars can be ordered from the Vanderbilt shipyard to use a new ship propelled by propellers, and then loaded with our cannons, which is not much better than two paddle steamers-" Mike Zhang Yangtian sighed, wondering why Li Mu wanted to make such a loss-making transaction.

"Mike, this is not something we have to consider, Mr. Ream naturally has a reason for doing this." Chris Bhatt doesn't complain, those are two real warships, what is there to complain about? After graduating from the Annapolis Military Academy, Chris Barth never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to sail a warship across the ocean.

"Of course Li Ye has Li Ye's reason, what I'm worried about now is where to find a suitable sailor, this is a warship, Mr. Commander said just now, the weapons on it will not be dismantled, so do we have qualified gunners? I'm afraid those rough embryos won't even be able to use a rangefinder. "Mike Zhang understands the importance of having a good relationship with the Guantanamo Naval Base, so he only dares to say it in private, and he never dares to say it in front of Li Mu.

The current employees of the Bahamian company are all from the Panamanian company, in addition to some Americans, there are also some Japanese mercenaries, these Japanese mercenaries performed extremely well in the war against Colombia, they are not afraid of death, they have an almost stubborn and resolute attitude towards orders, even if they know that they are sent to death, they also regard death as home, so these Japanese mercenaries have been loved by Ford Benjamin in a very short period of time, this time, Ford Benjamin sent some Japanese mercenaries to the Bahamas as cannon fodder, This is how Ford Benjamin liked Japanese mercenaries.

The Japanese are indeed brave in fighting, but the level of education is worrying, after all, Japan has just begun the Meiji Restoration, and has not yet had time to popularize compulsory education, so those Japanese really don't know how to use a rangefinder.

As for those American mercenaries - forget it, let's talk about Japanese mercenaries.
