Burnside came to Li Mu and Li Mu had something to do with the last deal with the Republic of Cuba.
The guns that Li Mu sold to the "Republic of Cuba" helped the Republic of Cuba a lot, and before that, although the Republic of Cuba led by Cespedes insisted on fighting with the Spaniards, because of the lack of weapons, most of them were petty fights, and there was no climate.
In early February, the guns sold by Li Mu to the "Republic of Cuba" arrived in the Bahamas, and the fighting between the Republic of Cuba and the Spanish colonial forces suddenly became fierce.
The Cubans are still very combative, and after obtaining these guns, the fighting power of the Republic of Cuba has increased greatly, and in less than a month, the sphere of influence has rapidly advanced from the vicinity of Bayamo in the south of the island of Cuba to the vicinity of Camagüey in the center, and it has been able to pose a threat to Havana, the economic and administrative center of Cuba.
Now that it has tasted the sweetness, the Republic of Cuba certainly wants to consolidate this model of cooperation, so there is a trip to Springfield in Burnside.
Well, in fact, Washington still wants Li Mu to take the blame.
"President Cespedes is very grateful for your cooperation, and here is a letter from him," Bernside said, handing Li Mu an envelope.
It's thin It's not like a thank you note Li Mu didn't open it in front of Burnside, and casually put the envelope into his pocket, Li Mu still frowned in the face of Burnside: "Hehe, if someone gives me 10,000 rifles for free, then don't say it's a thank you letter, even if I ask him to confess, it's no problem to say, will Congress pay for the Republic of Cuba?"
Yes, money is the most important issue, the U.S. government can pay for the last transaction, but it doesn't mean that the U.S. government will pay for it, if the U.S. government doesn't pay for it, then Li Mu doesn't want to be a saint, even if there are Chinese in the Republic of Cuba who are fighting bloody.
At least not for the U.S. government to see.
"Heherim, I think you should take a long-term view, the information I can provide you is that Cuba is rich in mineral resources, Cuba has a large number of nickel, cobalt, manganese, chromium, iron and copper, among which nickel reserves are the first in the world, iron reserves are even richer, almost all the iron ore in the world is there, as for copper, I can guarantee that there is copper on every mountain in Cuba, it is almost an island made of iron and copper, in addition to metal deposits there is also oil, you know the Gulf of Mexico, where the bottom of the sea is almost full of oil, The Rockefeller family really wants to get the mining rights there, so the Republic of Cuba may not have the money now, but they are not insolvent, they only need a contract, and when the Cubans drive out the Spaniards, the wealth there is all yours, and you can take it as you want" Burnside spared no effort to persuade Li Mu, describing Cuba as if it were a sea of gold and silver.
Burnside was right, Cuba is indeed rich in mineral resources, but Li Mu's attention is not on resources, so this temptation does not have much effect on Li Mu.
"Don't say it so well, let's not talk about whether it's as good as you say, what you said must be based on the Cubans driving out the Spaniards, do you think the Cubans can easily drive out the Spaniards and the Rockefeller family, you know the power of the Rockefeller, I don't want to snatch food from the Rockefeller's mouth, at least not now" Li Mu directly grasped the core of the problem, and at the same time did not hide his ambition.
To be honest, Li Mu doesn't know when Cuba became independent, but it was certainly not in the nineteenth century, at the end of the nineteenth century, the United States defeated the Spaniards through the Spanish-American War, when Cuba was the main battlefield of the Spanish-American War, so at least before the Spanish-American War, Cuba has always been under the rule of the Spaniards, so the current Republic of Cuba is doomed to ashes.
As for Rockefeller, Li Mu really doesn't want to compete with Rockefeller, the current Rockefeller is already a huge trust, and Li Mu does not have the strength to compete with Rockefeller.
"Don't be so pessimistic about Reem, it's man-made, if the Cubans don't get any help, then of course they can't beat the Spaniards, but that's what you're here for," Burnside pinned his hopes on Li Mu.
Well, to be honest, Burnside is not in a hurry.
It's done, it's a credit to Burnside.
No, it doesn't have much to do with Burnside.
Anyway, the war didn't happen on American soil.
"The meaning of my existence is to help the Cubans defeat the Spaniards, so what am I the father of Cuba?"
Li Mu couldn't help laughing, if this thing is done, the modern history of the world will have to be rewritten.
"HahahaThat's right, you're the father of Cuba uh, no, no, no, you're not, Mr.
Cespedes is, you're the mother of Cuba, wahahahaha" Burnside is indeed relaxed, serious and Li Mu analyzes the possibilities.
"This description is as rotten as cow" Li Mu was dissatisfied, and drove away the air in front of him with a look of disgust, as if there was a lot of cow in front of him.
"Listen to me Reem, if you cooperate with the Republic of Cuba, you do have to take risks in the early stage, but what is there in this world that is not risky, the greater the risk, the greater the gain, I still say that, things are man-made, how to cooperate, you have to talk to Céspedes, if you have the ability, it is not impossible to persuade Céspedes to give up the presidency to you" Burnside opened his mind, and the words he said were almost like a spoof.
"Let a guy with a beard not grow enough to be the president, you can't think of it" Li Mu suddenly remembered Jin Sanfat, the most successful post-80s in the 21st century, and Ji Lingling shuddered.
"Ahahaha, this is your disadvantage, but also your advantage, I'll tell you this, if it weren't for your age, this kind of good thing wouldn't have been your turn."
Burnside finally told the truth.
This is very right, even if Li Mu shows a certain ability, but after all, he is only a teenager, and he has not yet shown too much rebellion.
Li Mu is not "good" enough to thank Rockefeller, you must know that Rockefeller was already the world's largest oil producer at the age of 29 four years ago, and as of last year, Rockefeller's Standard Oil controlled 21 of the 26 oil companies in Cleveland, and Rockefeller also became the first billionaire in the United States.
"Since that's the case, then why do we have to cooperate with Cespedes, this guy now has his own power, has his own mind, if this guy wants to get out of our control after he succeeds, unless we start a war, we can't do anything about him."
It's not that Li Mu doesn't want to cooperate, but he doesn't trust Cespedes.
"Hehe, if you can find a more suitable partner, of course that's good, actually, you know, there are a lot of your compatriots in Cuba, don't you want to help them," Burnside continued to agitate, but it didn't sound right.
Li Mu is really tired in his heart, endless temptations, when is it a head:
