After Benjamin Harrison and the others left, Li Mu rarely lost control of his emotions and dropped his glass, and sat alone in the yard for a long time.

In addition to Benjamin Harrison and Burnside, James Bryan, the leader of the Republican Party in the Senate, did not support Ulysses Grant to continue to run on behalf of the Republican Party, and James Garfield, the new chairman of the Republican Party, was also not optimistic about Ulysses Grant.

Looking around, apart from Li Mu, Ulysses Grant has very few supporters in the Republican Party.

Even Li Mu, without Benjamin Harrison's tacit understanding, cannot fully support Ulysses Grant now.

Of course, as long as Li Mu has firm beliefs, Runkel and Samuel will still choose to be consistent with Li Mu, as for Chen Guofang, this is Li Mu's hardcore vote base, no matter what the circumstances, Chen Guofang will firmly support Li Mu's decision.

Early the next morning, Li Mu took the initiative to visit Ulysses Grant and inform him of the current situation.

Ulysses Grant was obviously aware of his situation, but he wasn't discouraged: "The Republican National Convention is almost half a year away, so we still have a chance to convince them to change their decision..."

According to the election process, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party will hold a national convention at the end of this year to select one person from all the nominated candidates to represent their party in the final presidential election.

The first problem that Ulysses Grant has to solve is this "nomination candidacy", as long as Grant can be nominated, Li Mu is confident that he will help Grant win the final victory, and the problem now is that Grant may not even be able to obtain the candidacy, so even if Li Mu has great ability, he will not be able to show it.

Half a year, not long, not short, it should be said that there is still a chance, but it is not easy to do it, Ulysses Grant has been on the stage for several years, not only the Democratic Party has complained, but also different voices in the Republican Party, the defect of the "fat distribution system" is here, you can never satisfy everyone.

"Even if I don't get the nomination, we don't have to be too frustrated, at least the presidency will be Republican, and those Southerners will never come out." Ulysses Grant finally didn't completely lose his mind, and the overall picture is still very good.

Li Mu doesn't pay attention to the overall situation, and if things don't develop in his favor, Li Mu must "put things right", no matter what method is used.

However, after listening to Ulysses Grant's words, Li Mu had no interest in tossing, and still took care of the overall situation... You don't care about yourself, why bother Li Mu to jump up and down like this.

To put it bluntly, Li Mu now supports Ulysses Grant so clearly, so on the side of Hayes and James Bryan, maybe they have been blacklisted, even if they don't say it for the so-called "demeanor", it is inevitable that they will wear a small shoe or something for you in private.

The mud bodhisattva still has three points of fire, and Li Mu can now be regarded as seeing through the so-called "American-style democracy", demeanor?

To hell with it!

Coming out of the presidential palace, Li Muyi was excited, they planned to inspect the progress of the Washington Monument, and now they have no interest.

"Mason, just go around..."Li Mu didn't want to go back to his home on the shore of Sakura Lake, the relationship between Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison was a little awkward in the past two days because of the differences in supporters, although this would not affect the friendship between them.

"Okay." Mason is still reliable, after the National Car Rally, Mason was named the best driver, won the MVP of the event, Li Mu once intended to give Mason a higher platform, but Mason was resolute, would rather give up the annual salary of $15,000 offered by the National Automobile Association, and still serve as Li Mu's driver.

In the past two years, American cities have set off a road construction boom, as long as there are cities with conditions, the roads in the city have basically been hardened, and there are no potholes on the asphalt roads in the water.

As the capital of the United States, Washington is certainly not stingy in terms of infrastructure, so Washington's streets are spacious and smooth, and the quality is no less than that of New York.

Of course, but in terms of financial resources, there is definitely a gap between Washington and New York, and the city of New York is now considering installing street lights on the main streets of Manhattan, which is a big project, with a total investment of more than 20 million dollars, and the city of Washington wants to install it, but they don't have the money.

The greenery on both sides of the road is not bad, the green belt is neatly trimmed, and the trees on the side of the road shade the sky, and the whole city feels like it is in a forest.

The whole city covers a huge area, even if it is a small town with tens of thousands of people, it is also a large area, like Washington, the capital, there are few buildings with more than three floors, the buildings on both sides of the road are generally low, most of the buildings are wooden structures, if you find that a building is large-scale, then it must be the private residence of a dignitary.

As a purely political center, Washington's business atmosphere is not strong, and the most commercial establishments in the city are hotels and bars.

It's hard to get a small wish in the evening, and the bar doesn't open until the afternoon, at least.

After running two streets and not finding a single open bar, Mason parked his car in front of a bar called "Cincintina" and was about to get out of the car to call the door.

"Forget it, Mason..."Li Mu didn't want to make a big fuss, a dozen or twenty black-clothed men were not good people at first glance, and it was estimated that the people who called the door would not dare to open it.

"It's so bad here, I can't feel the friendliness of the city..."Mason muttered back to the car, breaking Li Mu's mood in a word.

"Let's go to the station, let's go back to New York." Li Mu didn't want to waste time in Washington.

How good it is to go back to New York, if you want to drink, the Raging Bull Tribe and Castle Clinton are both open 24 hours, even if you don't want to harm your own people, you don't need to ask Mason to come forward, just drag a police officer on the street to do this.

Li Mu's special train stopped at Washington Railway Station, and there was a special person responsible for maintenance, and it only took an hour for the station to complete the dispatch, so that Li Mu's special train could be opened on the booth.

At the last minute before the train departed, Gloria rushed over in a hurry.

Li Mu did not inform Gloria that she was going back to New York, this is obviously someone who has reported the news, the most suspicious is Chu Xue, this girl has a good relationship with Gloria recently.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back, I haven't chosen a place yet..."Gloria sat down opposite Li Mu, panting and complaining a little.

Gloria came to Washington to find an address for her store, which was not necessary for Gloria in person, but in order to show her support for her business, Gloria took responsibility.

I came and didn't do it well, I haven't found a good place yet, so I have to follow Li Mu back, although Li Mu was a little moved, but the words he said were really not very good: "If you don't choose well, you can continue to choose, I will let the train pick you up after I go back, and I will do things in a hurry, and if you want to come out, you will know that you have no longevity..."

Well, in order to maintain Gloria's little self-esteem, Li Mu's last sentence was said in Chinese.

I don't know if Gloria understands it, Li Mu remembers that Gloria has been learning Chinese with Chu Xue, but I don't know how the progress is, looking at Gloria's expression is nothing unusual, Li Mu estimates that Gloria's Chinese score is not good.

Under the table that Li Mu couldn't see, Gloria twisted her handkerchief into a ball, and she couldn't see her true face: "I shouldn't pity you, it seems that you don't need any comfort, then I'd better go back to Washington... Park, park me! ”

As he spoke, his eyes were already red unconsciously, and tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

The special train can really go when you say you go, and stop when you say you stop.

"Lily, don't be like this..."Hatsuyuki appeared in time to grab the grief-stricken Gloria.

Li Mu knew that Gloria's nickname was "Lily", this nickname was rarely used even by Will, and Li Mu had never used it, it seemed that Chu Xue and Gloria had a good relationship, at least they had been upgraded to the level of best friends.

"No, you let go of me..."Gloria is really sad, I would have lit the moon with my heart, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, no one can stand it.

Gloria, this girl has been riding horses since she was a child, and hunting, and her health is very good, in a realistic sentence, it is as vigorous as a female leopard, once Gloria is determined to leave, the first snow really can't hold it.

Fortunately, Mason was in the way of the door, this guy was carrying a silver tray with a bottle of champagne and a glass on it, and the door of the special train was relatively narrow, and Mason was so big that he blocked the door, and even the air was not circulating.

Gloria's temper tantrum was that people blocked the killing of the Buddha and the killing of the Buddha, seeing that Mason was holding a bottle of wine in front of him stupidly and not giving way, Gloria flew up and kicked the plate in Mason's hand directly.

Mason is also quick to react, throwing away the tray at the same time, grabbing the wine bottle with one hand and the wine glass with the other, this hand speed is almost 50 years old.

"Enough!" Li Mu shouted angrily, got up and came behind Gloria, picked up Gloria, and threw it on the sofa next to him. Are you in a good mood? What do you want to celebrate? ”

Heaven and earth conscience, Mason really didn't want to celebrate anything, it was just because Li Mu was used to drinking champagne, so Mason found a bottle of champagne for Li Mu.

"I'll change it right away..."As a qualified driver, I don't listen to what I shouldn't hear, I don't look at what I shouldn't see, I have to pretend not to hear when I hear it, and I have to pretend not to see it when I see it, so Mason put the wine glass in his pocket, squatted down against the wall and picked up the tray, and left quickly with his face covered.

Gloria, who was sitting on the sofa, was even more sad when she was "roughly treated" by Li Mu, and she was simply heartbroken when she sobbed, but somehow, there was still a hint of joy in the corner of her heart, and this careful thinking was really reflected in the corners of her upturned mouth.

Li Mu didn't mean to speak, sat back on his sofa, looked at Gloria who was trying to squeeze out tears, and took out a handkerchief and handed it over angrily.

Gloria snatched the handkerchief from her eyes, wiped her tears and snorted, and then threw it back with a look of disgust.

Bingo, right in Li Mu's chest.

Li Mu jumped up from the sofa like an electric shock, kicked the handkerchief out of the way, and hesitated to touch the button of the suit.

Throwing away your clothes?

Actually, there were no tears, and there was no snot on the nose.

But if you don't throw it, your heart is really diaphragm.

The most unbearable thing is that seeing Li Mu's constipated expression on his face, Gloria, who was still pear blossoms and rain just now, actually laughed out loud, and then laughed so much that she covered her stomach and rolled around on the sofa, and her feet kept fluttering, perhaps because she felt that her happy mood was not fully expressed, and her feet had to kick a few more times in the void.

This action was so joyful that Li Mu actually forgot to be angry when he saw it.

"Boss, is it okay to drink this..."Mason Ai Ai came over and gave Li Mu a bottle of vodka.

Sky! It's actually vodka, and all New Yorkers know that Li Mu never drinks high alcohol.

Looking at Mason, who was smiling and dumbfounded, Li Mu found that he really couldn't get up: "Bring the bottle of champagne just now, and by the way, help me get two more pieces of ice..."

yes, that's the normal script.

didn't need Li Mu to do it, Chu Xue was quick with his hands and feet, and quickly got Li Mu an "exclusive drink".

Of course, Chu Xue will not forget Gloria, Gloria picked up the wine glass, and raised her legs gracefully like a person, and her two big eyes flickered to see Li Mu's heart panic: "Don't be angry now..."

How can you still be angry...

"I'm sorry..."Li Mu took a sip and wanted to apologize for his bad attitude just now.

"We don't need to say sorry between us..."Gloria didn't let Li Mu continue, her expression was so natural: "If you are in a bad mood and want to talk to someone, then I hope you can think of me, if you don't want to talk, I also hope that you can always remember, no matter what the situation, no matter at any time, we will always support you..."

Li Mu suddenly felt that it was not a matter who was the president.

If Ulysses Grant is re-elected, of course, it is good, and the Horse Group will continue to gain a period of rapid development for another four years, and perhaps after four years, the Horse Group will no longer need to rely on the tilt of administrative power to maintain its advantage.

If it is replaced by Hayes or James Bryan, there should not be much of a problem, in any case, these two are the same Republicans as Li Mu, since everyone is in the same group, even if the Junma Group does not get enough preferential conditions, it will not be wiped out.

As for the Democratic Party, Li Mu did not consider this possibility at all.
