848 The only good news
A peaceful atmosphere hides an undercurrent, New York is Li Mu's base camp, countless people are staring at Li Mu's every move, after entering the final sprint stage of the election, Li Mu has never left Governors Island, which is seen by many people in their hearts, although most people do not know what caused the relationship between Li Mu and James Garfield to have problems, but one thing is for sure is that everything is now an appearance, although now Li Mu is standing behind James Garfield, But as long as anyone notices, they will find that after Li Mu arrived, there was no verbal communication between him and James Garfield.
"We are in a great era, in the face of unprecedented opportunities, what each of us does today will be remembered by history, the United States is a great country, this country will be greater because of our people, I have always believed this, we have four years to verify all this, and in four years, we will gather here to celebrate another victory-" James Garfield is now full of confidence, unlike Hayes's anticlimactic tail, James G. Garfield is confident of re-election.
The simple thank-you speech ended with everyone raising a glass to celebrate, and then it was free time, Li Mu didn't want to stay in the hall on the first floor to watch James Garfield and others praising each other, so he said hello to Rockefeller and went directly to the third floor with Yan Hu.
Soldiers can't be inclined, Yan Hu didn't wear a military uniform today, and he only came to the celebration dinner to represent his personal status, in fact, Will also came, but Will only showed up in the hall, and before James Garfield's speech began, Will left early.
Compared with the lively hall on the first floor, the third floor is much more deserted, which also reflects the current situation of Li Mu and James Garfield, although Li Mu is free, but now James Garfield is hot, everyone wants to say hello to the new president, even if they can't get James Garfield's promise, it's good to be familiar.
Through the glass window on the third floor, you can clearly see the brilliant lights in the hall on the first floor, Mason gave Li Mu and Yan Hu heated rice wine, and then closed the door to leave plenty of private space for Li Mu and Yan Hu.
"It's still delicious to our rice wine, the wine here has no taste, and the ghosts have to add ice to drink in winter, so they can't kill him." Yan Hu's language makes no secret of his contempt for whites.
In order not to involve Yan Hu, Li Mu and Situ Lei did not let Yan Hu participate in the "Plan B" they conspired up, but Yan Hu also noticed that Li Mu was unusual during this time, Yan Hu was on duty in the military camp during the day these days, and he had to return to Governor's Island at night, originally Yan Hu did not have to attend tonight's dinner, but Yan Hu still came, Yan Hu used his actions to express his progress and retreat with Li Mu, no matter what Li Mu wanted to do, Yan Hu would choose to stand firmly on Li Mu's side.
"We're the ghosts in America." To say that Li Mu is not touched is false, many people know that Li Mu's current situation is not very good, although the Junma Group is still strong, but the prospects have begun to bleak, no one is sure that after James Garfield comes to power, will there be restrictions on the Junma Group, maybe many people are looking forward to it: "Actually, you don't need to come, you don't have to worry about my side, no matter who is the president, the Junma Group is no longer the small factory in Springfield, whoever wants to take the Junma Group, You have to consider whether you have that appetite or not. โ
Li Mu is really not afraid now, at the beginning, with a random excuse, Amis's brother-in-law could ask the Junma Weapons Factory to stop working, and now if anyone dares to do anything to the Junma Group, the governor of New York and the mayor of New York are the first to refuse, even the president.
This is the advantage of a big enterprise, an enterprise with a scale of 100,000 people and an enterprise with a scale of 100 people are two different things, an enterprise with a scale of 100 people will be killed if they are killed, and an enterprise with a scale of 100,000 people, the boss is qualified to be the guest of state at the head of state, and not everyone can be casually despised by anyone.
"Of course I'm not worried, in fact, Will is not worried, Will and I just want to warn certain people, remind them of your relationship with the military, although we people have no political position, but we have personal inclinations, the Horse Group is now the only supplier to the Ministry of War." Yan Hu is here to help Li Mu watch the field, as a soldier, what Yan Hu can do is actually much bigger than ordinary people imagine.
A long time ago, the Horse Group maintained a good relationship with the military, especially after the Horse Arms Company annexed Colt, Winchester, and New Haven, the Horse Arms Company became the only supplier to the military.
What's more, Li Mu's friends are all over the army, and most of them are high-ranking military officials, or have strong backgrounds in the military, Ulysses Grant, Burnside, Sherman, Alfred Mahan, George Dewey, not to mention relatives like Will and Yan Hu, who dare to target the Junma Group, will definitely attract strong opposition from the military.
Without the Horse Weapons Company, the US military units might still use old-fashioned single-shot rifles, and the Navy would not be able to replace more advanced large-caliber naval guns, let alone the radio with black technology, as well as the world's most advanced Junma laboratory.
"In a few days, I will go to Vladivostok for a while, at least 100,000 people will migrate to Vladivostok this winter, and when Krell leaves, there are too few supplies, not enough cotton clothes and food." Li Mu has a good reason, sending materials is only one aspect, and more importantly, avoiding suspicion.
In the next half a month, the election results will be counted, if there is no accident, James Garfield's victory is almost certain, and the implementation of "Plan B" is inevitable, Li Mu had better leave the United States during this time, so that at least it seems that Li Mu can get rid of suspicion.
Of course, the "get-out" here is only superficial, if something happens to James Garfield, someone will definitely list Li Mu as the object behind the scenes, but it doesn't matter, because when the time comes, Rockefeller, Jยท P. Morgan and many others will be the object of suspicion, even if Rockefeller is not suspected, Li Mu will include them in the suspicion, after all, guiding public opinion is Li Mu's forte.
In fact, it is also necessary for Li Mu to go to Vladivostok, and even if Li Mu can make a gesture to transfer the industry to Vladivostok, even the most disgusted people cannot deny the important role of the Junma Group to the US economy, the reason why Li Mu is fearless now is because Li Mu is not worried that someone will target the Junma Group, no one can afford to destroy the Junma Group, even James Garfield, the Junma Group is at most a restriction,
Considering Li Mu's Chinese background, if Li Mu shows a gesture of transferring assets to Vladivostok, it will definitely cause a certain degree of panic, and Li Mu will show a persecuted weak posture at that time, and any attack on Li Mu will become a fact of persecution of Li Mu.
"It's okay, go to Vladivostok for a while, I want to go to Vladivostok when I retire in the future, the Bahamas is good, Hawaii is not bad, but I feel that in the Bahamas and Hawaii we are all ghosts, or Vladivostok is more in line with our skin color, at least it is closer to home." Yan Hu is almost thirty years old now, and he has actually begun to think about retirement, which is also far-sighted.
In fact, turning Vladivostok into a state of the United States, the Chinese in the United States are the happiest, for the Chinese, Vladivostok is controlled in the hands of the Russians and controlled in the hands of the Americans, but considering the distance between Vladivostok and Russia and the mainland of the United States, turning Vladivostok into a state of the United States is actually a disguise, and it is the Chinese who really control the land of Vladivostok. And if you miss this opportunity, in a few years, when the Vladivostok government has finalized the legislation, it will not be as easy as it is now.
The local complex of the Chinese is indeed deep-rooted, many people around Li Mu, even if they are now accustomed to living in the United States, but when they think of decades later, they are still willing to return to their roots, and do not want to live in a foreign country like a lonely ghost.
It is an obvious fact that after the establishment of Vladivostok, there have been many Chinese in the United States who are willing to go to Vladivostok, and the vast majority of the hundreds of applications received by Vladivostok's offices in New York and San Francisco are from Chinese Americans, and very few white people are willing to go to Vladivostok.
"Others can go, you can't go, you are different from others, if Vladivostok sets up a standing army, then you can go, don't think about retirement, if you retire in the future, you will go to the Horse Group as a special adviser, we will stay in New York, and we will not go anywhere." Li Mucai will not leave the United States in disgrace, it took so much effort to finally get his current results, and it would be too sad to leave the United States.
"It's okay, even if we don't leave, no one can do anything to us." Yan Hu's character is also very steely, in fact, whether it is Li Mu or Yan Hu, they are already part of the United States, and no one can deny Li Mu and Yan Hu's contributions to the United States.
"I've been looking for you down there for a long time, but you're hiding here and drinking." Will suddenly came in from the door, he didn't leave Clinton Castle just now, just found a room to rest casually, like Yan Hu, Will was also worried about Li Mu, and came to the dinner, not for the new president, but for Li Mu.
Compared with Yan Hu, Will is a pure soldier, and he is a descendant of Ulysses Grant, and politicians such as Hayes and James Garfield are inherently incorrect, before James Garfield ran for election, Will personally expressed his opposition to James Garfield, because although James Garfield has a military background, this background has no practical significance, and even James Garfield himself has a priesthood, and Will doesn't like this very much.
During the Civil War, James Garfield served as a member of the Military Council, then with the rank of Major General.
But James Garfield's "Major General" rank has no practical significance, he is not a real soldier at all, he has never been to the front, before serving as a member of the Armed Services Committee, James Garfield has served as a state senator and then a federal representative, so military experience will only make James Garfield's resume look better, and real soldiers have never disdained this kind of resume.
"Try it, here is our traditional rice wine, which is different from those fruit wines." Li Mu invited Will to drink together, it doesn't matter what you drink, the important thing is "Gong".
"I thought you were going to slap the new president's ass, didn't you desperately shout and cheer for Mr. Major General before? Why don't you go now? Will is still sneering, this attitude is very good, it can make Li Mu feel warm in the freezing New York.
"I'm a Republican, and it's only natural to support a candidate in the party." Li Mu doesn't have any embarrassment, for James Garfield, Li Mu feels similar to a colleague, you can work hard for something together, but you don't have to be friends, when a colleague becomes an enemy, Li Mu will not hesitate to raise the butcher knife.
Of course, Li Mu can't mention this kind of thing in front of Will, Li Mu blocked Yan Hu's "Plan B" because he didn't want Yan Hu to wade into this troubled water, and he should be more cautious about Will, although Will doesn't like James Garfield, but when James Garfield becomes the president of the United States, James Garfield is the person that Will will be loyal to, if Will knows that Li Mu wants to deal with James Garfield, then it is really not good for Will's reaction, and the righteous killing of relatives should not be, But don't expect Will to be as indifferent as Yan Hu.
"Hmph, Vladivostok is going to set up a standing army, and now you are satisfied?" Will is uncomfortable for sure, as a member of the army, Will hopes that the strength of the army will expand, the last time the United States went to war against Spain, it was the best opportunity for the army to expand its scale, but the mercenaries of the Far East Company were too capable, the army expansion plan was stillborn, Will has been haunted, and now the army has a chance to expand, but it is in Vladivostok, which is like his hair falling into the hot soup just out of the pot when cooking, you can drink it, but you will feel uncomfortable.
"Of course, that's the best news I've heard today." Li Mu was very happy, this matter was promoted by Li Mu single-handedly, Li Mu knew that it would pass, but he didn't know that it was so fast.
