After coming to the United States, Li Mu knew that the physical fitness of the Chinese was actually quite good in these years, at least in terms of height, the Chinese did not suffer much compared with the whites.
Regarding height, there is a very interesting data, in the nineteenth century, the highest average height in the world was Australia, with a height of 1.72 meters, then the United States 1.71 meters, and then there was no more than 1.7 meters, the average height of France was 1.65 meters, the average height of the United Kingdom was 1.66 meters, and the average height of Japan was 1.55 meters.
Regarding the height of the Qing Empire, there is no specific data for this period, but during the Republican period, the height of young people in the northeastern region of the Celestial Empire was about 1.66 to 1.67 meters.
There is a direct relationship between height and nutrition.
It should be said that before the nineteenth century, compared to the whole world, the material resources of the Chinese society were relatively rich, so the height of the Chinese people could be called tall in general, so tall that the Japanese had to "borrow" because they were eager to improve the breed.
Until the 21st century, the Chinese are the big eaters in the eyes of Westerners, and in the eyes of Westerners, the appetite of the Chinese is connected to a different space, no matter how to fill it, it is not satisfied.
In fact, this is also the case, the Chinese people's food production is rich enough to be used to make wine, so there are countless fine wines in the Chinese world, while before the Industrial Revolution in Europe, the food supply was generally insufficient, and it was not enough to meet the daily supply, so whether it was champagne or rum, it was actually fruit wine, and it had nothing to do with grain wine.
Li Mu realized that among the Chinese, Chu Wushuang was the tallest, and this guy's height was estimated to be about 1.9 meters, which was similar to Will's height.
Li Mu's height is not low, in fact, Li Mu is still in the development period, but his height is already about one meter seventy-five, and in a few years, Li Mu's height is estimated to be a flurry, and it will not be a problem to break through one meter eight.
Knowing the relationship between height and nutrition, Li Mu implements a nutrition subsidy system in the affiliated schools of the Junma Group, where the students of the affiliated schools of the Junma Group can get a pound of milk and two eggs for free every day, and these things must be eaten up under the supervision of the teacher, so as to complete the day's task.
It is interesting to note that the affiliated schools of the Junma Group do not charge any fees for students, but even so, there are still some Chinese who are not willing to send their children to school, but are willing to let their children enter the factory to become workers.
After the introduction of the nutrition subsidy system, parents have been highly motivated to send their children to school, and even many Springfield locals are seeking to send their children to study in schools affiliated with the ZAMA Group, and the only way to do this is to work for the ZAMA Group, which does not need too many white workers, so for now, at least in Springfield, working in the ZAMA Group is an enviable thing, which is a bonus.
So far, there are more than 4,000 students in the affiliated schools of the ZAMA Group, and the vast majority of these students are of mixed Chinese and white descent.
This is also a helpless thing, before Li Mu immigrated Chinese women to the United States on a large scale, the Chinese in the United States did not have women at all, so if the Chinese wanted to get married, they could only choose to marry a white man or a Mexican, and relatively speaking, it was obvious that the white man was more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese.
A white cover is not ugly On April 10, reinforcements from the continental United States arrived in Hawaii, led by an acquaintance of Li Mu's, William Tecusse Sherman.
That night, Li Mu hosted a banquet at the beach camp to entertain Sherman.
The two of them chatted happily, and naturally they couldn't help but talk about the war in Montana.
"George did a great job, although I don't think he did a better job than me, but this guy has shit luck, last month George defeated the Sitting Bull and the Sioux and won a crucial battle, your godfather is doing well, maybe it won't be long before we can end this war."
Sherman was not convinced, believing that George Dewey had picked his own fruit.
The "godfather" mentioned by Sherman refers to Will, in fact, Will is not Li Mu's godfather, Li Mu never admits this, but Will has always insisted on saying so, and Li Mu went with him.
In the original history, because of the discovery of gold in South Dakota, the whites and Indians clashed again, and finally in 1876, the Sioux led the Sioux to defeat the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division at the Battle of Little Big Horn, and completely annihilated the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division.
It was a major rout in the history of the U.S. military, and the battle was mentioned countless times in the future.
It was only 1874, and the Battle of Little Big Horn had not yet taken place, because of George Dewey's intervention, the Sitting Bull was completely defeated, and history was changed once again.
"Luck is part of strength, and when he was in Cuba, George showed the ability to change the tide of battle, and he deserved it."
Li Mu disagreed with Sherman's words, whether in terms of historical evaluation or actual combat performance, George Dewey was a grade higher than Sherman.
Sherman's biggest record was the burning of Atlanta, but that was during the American Civil War, and in that sense, it's not something to brag about.
In Cuba, George Dewey became famous, defeating the superior forces of the Spaniards with inferior forces and helping Cuba gain independent status, which was George Dewey's record, and now George Dewey defeated the sitting bull who had defeated Sherman.
Before going to Cuba, Li Mu had to be careful when he spoke in front of Sherman, but now he doesn't have to, as the boss of the Junma Group, Li Mu doesn't have to worry about what Sherman thinks, he can say whatever he wants.
"Come on, if I had the Tempest light machine gun and heavy machine gun, I could have beaten the Sitting Bull too."
Sherman also disagreed with Li Mu's words.
Weaponism It is true that many people think that weapons determine everything, but Li Mu obviously doesn't think so, Li Mu knows everything he has experienced, so Li Mu has always believed that weapons are secondary aspects, and people's subjective initiative is the determining factor.
"But you have to admit that although you didn't have a rainstorm at the time, your weapons are still superior to those of the Indians."
Li Mu unveiled the old bottom.
Li Mu is an arms dealer, when Sherman fought with the Indians, Li Mu's horse weapons company had already cooperated with the Ministry of War, so Li Mu knew very well the weapons and equipment of the American troops, even if there were no machine guns, the equipment of the American troops was still superior to the Indians.
The Indians also have a backstage, Montana is further north of Alberta, Canada, and the relationship between the British and the Indians has always been unclear, although the Americans tried their best to seal the border and prevent the Indians from getting supplies from Canada, but this did not have much effect, on the one hand, because the troops were insufficient, the border was too long and the defense was weak, and on the other hand, because the Indians were the head snakes, and they had secret channels to use.
"The advent of heavy machine guns was decisive for the change of warfare."
Sherman was stubborn.
This is not wrong, the emergence of machine guns did change the way of war to a certain extent, but it was not enough to subvert, the Japanese in the twentieth century also had an absolute weapon advantage in the face of the Chinese, but the Japanese still failed to completely defeat the Chinese; The same example occurred in the Soviet Union, during World War II, the Soviet troops with the assistance of the Allies were no weaker than the German army, but in the early days of the war, the Soviet army was still in a crumble.
"Can you not talk about these troublesome things, such a beautiful night, shouldn't we talk about the wind and snow" Benjamin appeared just right.
"Well, let's have a toast to the United States of Hawaii."
Li Mu proposed.
"Cheers" everyone raised their glasses, and at this moment, the atmosphere of the banquet was reached.
After the dinner, Sherman returned to stay on the warship in the harbor, and Fernjerome and Chen Guofang and others also went back to their respective homes, but Benjamin did not go back, and stayed at the beach camp in the evening.
Before going to bed, Benjamin invited Li Mu to go for a walk on the beach.
"The next step is to push for a referendum."

Li Mu was in a happy mood, the dungeon of Hawaii had finally reached the final boss, and after this stop, Li Mu's status in Washington would be further enhanced.
"Almost, I've been promoting the Spanish threat theory all day, and I'm sure the members of Congress will make the right choice."
Benjamin is also more optimistic, Chinese and American Americans together already make up the majority of Hawaii's population, and if you add the U.S. military station, there will be no surprises in the referendum.
Perhaps because Li Muhe and the Hawaiian rifles were in full swing, the Spaniards did not make trouble in Hawaii, and after the two warships were replenished with coal and water, they went straight to the Far East.
Regardless of whether the Spaniards will go and return, Li Mu and Benjamin will use this matter to make a fuss, so Benjamin has been proclaiming the "Spanish threat theory" in the past few days, leaving the Hawaiians to make their own choice, whether to be annexed by Spain or the United States.
There is nothing controversial about this issue, all Hawaiians know that they cannot maintain an independent status on their own, and it is with the support of the Americans that Hawaii can become independent, and if the Americans want to annex Hawaii now, the Hawaiians have no choice.
In fact, successive Hawaiian kings also knew this, so Cami Hameha IV introduced the Anglican Church to counterbalance the Americans.
But now the power of the Anglican Church has suffered heavy losses as a result of the recent riots, and the last shackles on the United States no longer exist.
"Let's get started, but before we do, we're going to disarm David Kalakaua's side."
Li Mu was ruthless and did not give Kalakaua I a chance to turn the tables.
"Hehe, don't worry about this, tomorrow Congress will pass a resolution to bring all the military forces in Hawaii to the rifles, and if Kalakaua has an opinion, Aiden will not let him go."
Benjamin was triumphant and overwhelmed people with great momentum.
Mmmm, this is a scheming
