If you don't die, you won't die, although Li Mu doesn't like the Japanese, but if the Japanese want to be polite in front of Li Mu like Noguchi Valley, and be respectful to everyone before and after, Li Mu can't lift the butcher's knife to the Japanese no matter how much he doesn't like the Japanese.
The Japanese are very cautious, more than the Zhongshan wolf, the absolute use of people when facing forward, when not using people to the back, don't look at the Noguchi Valley is now respectful to Li Mu, maybe what is the idea behind it, the products of the horse weapons factory are not complicated, the most technical content should be the proportion of weapons steel and the production process, but limited to the objective conditions at this time, it is not complicated to where, it can still be studied with a little effort, as for the structure of the double-action pistol and the breech loading gun, for a country, This is not a problem, and it will take about a week or two to organize some weapons experts to work backwards.
Maybe the Japanese have already done that.
Then there is only one reason why the Japanese are still patient, and that is that the Japanese want so much.
Although the technical content of the weapons is not large, the Junma Group has high-tech things, such as electric lights and telephones, which are relatively much more complex than weapons, and it is not easy for the Japanese to break through the technical barriers.
What Li Mu has to do is to push the Japanese into a desperate situation, drive them crazy, and completely cut off the possibility of cooperation between the Japanese and the Junma Group, so that the Japanese will be desperate to embark on a copycat road, and Li Mu will have a reason to deal with the Japanese.
Not everyone agreed with Li Mu doing this, such as Henry, after knowing that Li Mu sternly rejected the Japanese, Henry came to Li Mu with a grudge on his face.
"If we say that we cooperate with the Germans because the United States and Germany have a wide range of common interests, then why can't we cooperate with the Japanese?"
I don't believe you can't see it, we have a wide range of common interests with Japan, the Japanese also need technology, they need the market, as long as we put forward a number, the Japanese will take out the money even if they smash the pot and sell iron, since this is the case, then why should we risk the product being imitated and the interests will be damaged to reject the Japanese" Henry didn't want to get into trouble, Or that Henry had enough trouble, and it didn't matter if he had more.
If there are many lice, it won't itch.
Henry knew that Li Mu would play a big game of chess, so Li Mu needed a lot of allies, in Henry's opinion, Japan was very suitable as an ally, the population of this country was more than that of Germany, according to the standards of this time, the war potential was to exceed that of the Germans, and at the same time, the country had a narrow territory, and the people would retribution, and it seemed unwise to offend such a country.
"Henry, you just have to think about who the first country the Japanese will deal with as long as they rise, and you know why I am doing this."
Li Mu didn't go too far from Henry, and directly reasoned with the facts, so that Henry had nothing to say.
It is true that there is nothing to say, almost at the same time as the Qing Empire was carrying out the Westernization Movement, the Japanese were also beginning the Meiji Restoration, it can be said that everything in Japan is referring to the Qing Empire, with the Qing Empire as an imaginary enemy, everyone can see that if Japan rises, the first country to deal with must be the Qing Empire.
And Li Mu used to be a subject of the Qing Empire, although Li Mu is now an American, but as long as you look at Li Mu's attitude towards the Chinese, you can know that Li Mu has not completely disconnected from the Qing Empire.
"Okay, whatever you want, anyway, the Junma Group is yours, I'm just a working emperor."
Henry had no choice but to let it go.
Li Mu now gives Henry a salary of 100,000 US dollars a year, plus Henry's stock dividends, Henry is indeed a working emperor.
It is said that with the shares, Henry has already left the stage of "part-time work", but Henry has always positioned himself as a senior part-time worker, so that Henry will always have the motivation to move forward.
"You're wrong, the Junma Group is ours, so don't try to pick on it."
The meaning of Li Mu's words is obvious, that is, to tie Henry to the Junma Group for the rest of his life.
With Henry in control of the Horse Group, Li Mu can be freed from the heavy daily affairs, for the Horse Group, Henry also paid a lot, as early as the Springfield period, Henry had the opportunity to serve as a Massachusetts House of Representatives, but Henry gave up that opportunity, and now Henry, even if he is a New York State Senator, is qualified, but Henry is also not half moved.
It's really too busy, as a senator, you have to meet in Washington at least 90 days a year, Henry doesn't have so much time to waste in those boring meetings, there are more important things waiting for Henry to do.
Li Mu was right, after Noguchiya returned to Japan, within a week, a factory in Sasebo began to blatantly produce smokeless gunpowder.
Of course, it was not the kind of production that was allowed by the Junma Group, and as for the technology, Li Mu had every reason to believe that the Japanese obtained the relevant technology about smokeless gunpowder through the Qing Empire, which simply made Li Mu angry.
There has never been a shortage of traitors among the Chinese, which is the same all over the world, and during the Anglo-American War, there were many "American traitors" in the United States.
The Qing Empire does not seem to have any precautions against "secrecy", and the Japanese attach great importance to details, and they are even more pervasive in terms of infiltration, and the Qing Empire has long been infiltrated by the Japanese, and for Japan, the Qing Empire basically has no secrets.
Although Li Mu had expected this incident, when it really broke out, it still made Li Mu extremely angry.
From Cole's report, Li Mu learned the whole process of the "leak" incident.
According to the agreement between the Junma Group and Cheng Gengchi, the factory management and personnel rights were under the control of the Junma Group, and the governor of the Qing Empire was not allowed to get involved in related aspects.
The Junma Group can control the inside of the factory, but not the outside of the factory, for all the factories, the procurement is a fat difference, so the procurement of the factory is in charge of a distant nephew of the Governor, and the result is that this nephew accidentally lost the procurement list when drinking flower wine, which caused a leak.
In fact, Junma Group also has strict regulations on procurement, in order to prevent people from reversing smokeless gunpowder technology from raw materials, there are many useless options in the procurement list of Junma Group, and even deliberately buried traps, if the procurement personnel strictly follow the regulations, even if the list is lost, it will not cause much loss, and even the other party will go astray.
There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, but there is no shortage of fools, the most stupid are those fools who think they are smart people, the nephew of the Governor is a fool who thinks he is a smart person, and at first he strictly follows the regulations of the Horse Group, but later found that some ingredients on the list are always discarded, so the nephew of the Governor changed the list privately, only buying those necessities for daily consumption, as for other raw materials, only taking the inventory in the treasury to suit the situation.
As a result, the list was lost, and smokeless gunpowder was immediately a secret for the Japanese.
"Send a telegram to Cole, this matter, ask Cheng Gengchi to give us an explanation, otherwise the production will be stopped indefinitely."
Although Li Mu knew that there would definitely be all kinds of accidents when he set up a factory in the Qing Empire, when things really happened, Li Mu still couldn't accept it.
This kind of thing can be big or small, at worst, it is just a "leak" case, and at most some time and money will be lost, but at worst, when a war breaks out in the future, such a small mistake will affect the balance of victory and defeat, and it cannot be overemphasized.
Yan Shun recorded with an expressionless face, and only after making sure that Li Mu had finished speaking, did he tentatively put forward his opinion: "Should we also self-correct and self-check, in fact, we are also responsible for this matter, if the system can be more perfect and the implementation is more strict, then it should be possible to reduce the proportion of this kind of thing." ” Yan Shun has not yet realized the possible harm caused by the "leak" to the Qing Empire, and from the position of the Junma Group, Yan Shun believes that there is still room for improvement in the system.
"It really should be perfected, and you and Grover discuss that this kind of incident must not happen again."
Li Mu agreed with Yan Shun's opinion, regardless of whether this matter was related to the Junma Group or not, the management of the Qing Empire Factory and the Junma Group would definitely not be able to get rid of it.
Grover Cleveland is the chief lawyer of Junma Group, and Grover Cleveland has always been in charge of the formulation of the system, so the first thing Li Mu thought of was Grover Cleveland.
"Grover's method is easy to use, but there are still loopholes in the actual implementation, I think this kind of thing, I should let Mr.
Situ do it, first find out the loopholes in the rules, and then specify the corresponding rules for the loopholes."
Yan Shun has ideas, this kid is also growing, and the speed of growth is amazing.
Although Li Mu's actual age is young now, there is a soul in his thirties living in his body, so Li Mu is a demon, and Yan Shun is a real mortal, Li Mu can be sure that Yan Shun is not a traverser, so it is indeed gratifying to have such progress, which comes from Yan Shun's diligent study and hard work on weekdays, and from Yan Shun's ears and eyes, and it is indeed gratifying to have such a change.

"Okay, just do as you say, you go to Situ Lei and let him figure out a way."
In fact, no matter whether Yan Shun's suggestion is reliable or not, Li Mu will support Yan Shun's opinion.
Genius also grows from setbacks, no one is born to know, for mediocre talents, it is possible to collapse after a failure, and genius will sum up lessons from failure, arm themselves stronger, and then meet the next challenge.
Since Yan Shun is now showing his potential, then Li Mu will vigorously support it, even if Yan Shun's opinion is unreliable, Li Mu will let Yan Shun try, theory and practice must always be combined
