If there are no accidents, as of today, the number of words in the public chapter will exceed 300,000 words Under normal circumstances, at this time, regardless of the grades, it will be on the shelves, yesterday I talked to the editor in charge about this problem, I thought, if I can, try to send more public chapters, just as a reward for the brothers, so no matter what happens tomorrow, today is still three chapters, for the sake of such a close friend, it is not too much to ask for a vote This is well known about Grant's cronyism.
One of Grant's most criticized aspects is his near-catastrophic nepotism.
During his tenure as president, Grant not only gave many important positions to his former colleagues in the military, but also appointed some of his wife's "maiden family members" as senior officials at the request of his wife.
This is also an important reason why Grant attracted strong opposition from public opinion at the beginning of the formation of the cabinet: there are so many people in the cabinet who are either relatives of the president or relatives of the first lady as many as dozens.
To outsiders, this is, of course, favoritism, but for Grant's relatives and colleagues, this is the standard "one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven".
Li Mu ignored the fact that for Li Mu, Grant was a stranger, and if there was another identity, then Grant was also a corrupt criminal.
But for Will, Grant is Will's old boss, a hero of the Northern Army during the Civil War, and a trustworthy Army general, and Will will not allow anyone to insult Grant in terms of reason and reason.
Including Li Mu is the same.
Even if what Li Mu said was the truth.
Although the conversation broke up unhappily, the family still had to go home.
Early the next morning, Li Mu and Will returned to Springfield with a group of more than 60 people, including members of the Springfield Shooting Team and the gunmen recruited by Will during the shooting competition.
Speaking of using guns, the United States is indeed a good hand everywhere, among the more than 30 people recruited by Will, there are several people whose combat effectiveness is almost the same as Yan Shun, maybe their shooting accuracy is not as good as Yan Hu, but from the perspective of actual combat, their combat effectiveness is stronger than Yan Hu.
Among these people are many soldiers during the Civil War, including a man named Ford Benjamin, who was a captain in the Northern Army at the end of the Civil War, but this guy did not mix well, and after the Civil War, he was in business in New York for a while, but then the business went bankrupt and had to go back to his old job.
After Li Mu learned of this fact, he appointed Ford Benjamin as the captain of the gunners, implemented militarized management of the gunners, and tried to train all the gunners into qualified guards as soon as possible.
Along with Li Mu and Will to Springfield, there is also a man named Amos Ackerman, who also has a great background, for 18701871 years, Amos Ackerman served as the U.S.
Attorney General, Ackerman opposed the wrongdoing of the railroad owners, which was a rare and honest official, but under the lobbying of the railroad owners, Ackerman was soon dismissed by Grant.
At the time of his dismissal, Grant praised Ackerman as a dedicated, upright, and hardworking man, and offered to compensate him with other positions, but Ackerman flatly refused.
Now it seems that the relationship between Grant and Ackerman is not so stiff.
"President Grant Although he made some mistakes in leading the country and removed me from office at the same time, to be honest, I don't blame him, Grant also has Grant's difficulties, and sometimes Grant can't do anything in the face of certain people, or a certain group."
When Grant is mentioned, Ackerman is magnanimous.
"He may be a qualified general, but he is not a qualified president."
Li Mu couldn't accept such a person leading the United States, which made Li Mu think of something unpleasant.
"The environment makes people, and people have two sides, and Mr.
President doesn't want America to be full of embezzlers, so President Grant ordered me to investigate the Mobile Credit Company."
Ackerman is mature, and this is not a stunned young man who has just entered politics.
"Maybe you're right, but I reserve my opinion on this matter."
Li Mu was still angry, not because of Grant, but because Will actually yelled at Li Mu because of Grant, which made Li Mu unacceptable.
In fact, Li Mu knew that Ackerman was right, people have two sides, even Li Mu is the same, when facing the little fat man, Li Mu will be unrelenting, but in the face of Zhang Leye, Li Mu will also help as much as possible.
This is also the characteristic of the times in the United States at this time, although corruption and bribery are commonplace, but for a long time, this kind of corruption is tolerated by some citizens.
An important reason for this is that in order to win votes, "city bosses" will try to win voters' support by providing jobs, loans and various services to voters, especially immigrants.
In a sense, the prevalence of "city bosses" during this period is also indeed related to the complex problem of immigration in the United States, where immigrants are less concerned with the moral ideals of the middle class and more concerned with what the boss group can provide but the middle class cannot provide.
Because immigrants think differently from the middle-class who are more inclined to fight corruption, they are more likely to be bought by the petty favors of the "city bosses" to vote for them.
In the progressive era after the "Gilded Age", the number of the American middle class will continue to increase, the number of new immigrants will continue to decrease, and anti-corruption will begin to become an issue that all Americans pay attention to, and the problem of corruption in the United States will gradually decrease.
"Then you should understand that if you want to do something, then you have to adapt to the environment and learn to compromise," Ackerman said earnestly.
"Hehe, thank you Amos, I have done more thorough than you in this regard."
Li Mu smiled, and suddenly felt that the contradiction with Will was not a matter.
"That's right, I know what you did in Washington, although your behavior is not honest, but it hasn't caused much social harm, at least compared to people like Amis, you're not bad, but you also have to be careful, I will keep an eye on you, if one day you are on my blacklist, I will not be soft."
Ackermantu saw the dagger and finally revealed his true face.
How to say it,Li Mu's behavior in Washington,It's really not upright,But on the other hand,Although Li Mu deceived those ignorant lottery ticket buyers,But Li Mu is also helpless,If Li Mu doesn't want a carriage with a high demeanor,Don't go with Green,That's good,Li Mu will be Green、Tony、Kenny They are excluded,And then nothing。
As for the poor "sponsors", Li Mu did fulfill his promises, including the owners of the printing house, Li Mu did promote their enterprises, and in this sense, the expenses of those people have been rewarded.
As for an unlucky guy like Bert Philemon, this has nothing to do with Li Mu, Li Mu didn't kidnap anyone, and Li Mu didn't set it on fire, it was all done by Green to Tony's rotten man.
When Ackerman finished saying this, Li Mu immediately recognized Will's cuteness.
Will is also an emotional person, so Will will defend Grant, which is not a problem, because Li Mu knows very well that if Li Mu is involved, Will will also defend Li Mu, just like he will protect Grant.
Such a "right and wrong" character is actually quite cute
