The whereabouts of the Japanese consulate in New York eventually became a mystery.
The three train drivers confessed that when the train reached 75 kilometers in Pennsylvania, the Japanese consul in New York, Nobu Watanabe, asked to stop, and then led all the staff of the embassy and consulate and their families to walk in the direction of the Allegheny Mountains.
The three train drivers had no choice but to turn around and return to New York, and it was not until ten days later that William Vanderbilt learned that Watanabe and his party had not arrived in New York.
Well, the reason why it took so long to know that Nobu Watanabe and his party were missing is due to the poor means of communication in this era, in order to change the backward status quo, large enterprises led by the Shoma Group are working hard, and the telephone line between Washington and New York is being laid, and maybe in half a year, telephone contact between Washington and New York will be available.
The Japanese ambassador to the United States, Hidero Ueda, did not care about the level of science and technology in the United States, and Hidero Ueda was worried about the safety of Nobu Watanabe and his party.
The place where Watanabe Nobu got off is near the Allegheny Mountains, this mountain is a branch of the Albagh Mountains, the range is vast and complex, stretching for more than 800 kilometers, there are not only wolves and grizzly bears in the mountains, but also large beasts such as jaguars, organized exploration teams have not dared to go deep into it, not to mention that Watanabe Shin and his party also have a large number of women and children, so unprepared to march into the mountains, it is tantamount to sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
At the request of Ueda Hidero, the Pennsylvania government organized militias to conduct a large-scale search in the Allegheny Mountains, and the entire search operation lasted more than a month, for which the Japanese government paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the search operation did not yield anything.
At the end of April, the search operation had to be stopped.
Although Ueda Hidero vowed to see people alive and dead to see corpses, the Japanese government did not have more money to support the search operation, and it was able to come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars, including the friendly support of large enterprises like the Vanderbilt family, which had a certain relationship with the Japanese government.
In order to make these big enterprises raise donations, Ueda Yinglang took a lot of words, and even Governor's Island, Ueda Yinglang also came to visit, but Ueda Yinglang also ate a closed door and did not get the opportunity to meet Li Mu.
"Fundraising, don't be funny, I'd rather give money to Montana refugees than to Japanese people."
When Li Mu knew the news, he made no secret of his gloating.
Ueda came to New York from Washington in March, not only to raise funds, but also to reorganize the Japanese consulate in New York.
As Japan's ambassador to the United States, Ueda is of course based in Washington, but in a big city like New York, Japan also has to set up consulates to better serve its own citizens.
Of course, Japan's national strength is limited, and the number of consulates is very small, except for Washington, Japan, Japan only has a consulate in New York, and there is no other consulate in San Francisco.
It's not that Japan doesn't want to set up a consulate in San Francisco, it's that it doesn't have the financial resources.
The San Francisco city government and the California state government are not interested in Japan, so the state and city governments are not very concerned about the establishment of the San Francisco consulate, so that even the consulate fee has to be paid by the Japanese government itself.
Even if the Japanese government is not financially adequate, the consulate land is still affordable, but there is a problem when choosing the site, the Japanese government originally wanted to set up the consulate in Auckland, a gathering place for Chinese, but unexpectedly, the Auckland government rejected the Japanese government's application for land purchase, saying that there is no excess land for sale.
On the map of the San Francisco City Hall, the city of Oakland covers an area of 300 square kilometers, while the city of Oakland is now less than 20 square kilometers, and this includes the huge factories, and on top of that, a lot of land is still wasteland to be cultivated, so it is a joke that there is no extra land.
But even if it's a joke, the Auckland government is also serious, looking at the red seal on the official letter, the Japanese government has to take the lawsuit to Washington.
It was useless to call Washington, which supported the Japanese government in setting up a consulate in San Francisco for diplomatic relations reasons, but the official letter reached the California state government, and the state government did not even transfer it to the San Francisco city government, let alone Oakland.
As long as there is no war, the president is just an ornament, and even if it is an official letter, the state governments have the right to refuse.
This situation has also made the Japanese government finally have a trace of contempt for the US government, and it is really in vain for a country whose decrees cannot be carried out smoothly to talk about national cohesion.
After Nobu Watanabe led the evacuation of the staff of the Japanese Consulate in New York, the New York City government took over the land of the Japanese Consulate in New York under the pretext that Hidero Ueda now wants to rebuild the Japanese Consulate in New York, and the first thing that needs to be solved is the land issue.
"Mr.
Ueda means that he wants to put the new Japanese Consulate in New York near Shoma Square, what do you think?"
Although Brooklyn County, where Horse Plaza is located, is now under the jurisdiction of the New York City Government, the land near Horse Plaza is privately owned by Li Mu, so the New York City Government now has no jurisdiction over those lands, and even if the New York City Government wants to expropriate it, it must first seek Li Mu's consent.
"Your Excellency, April Fool's Day has passed."
Li Mu blocked the road tightly, leaving no gaps.
Sold the land near Horse Square to the Japanese What are you kidding, if the new Japanese consulate in New York stands in Junma Square, it can disgust Li Mu to death.
To be honest, Li Mu admires Ueda Hidero's ability to pretend to be stupid, which is also one of the essential skills of a diplomat.
Regarding the discord between the Junma Group and the Sasebo smokeless powder factory, Li Mu didn't believe that Ueda Yinglang didn't know, but Ueda Yinglang could pretend to be indifferent and come directly to visit Li Mu Bucheng's way of replacing Arthur, which couldn't help but make Li Mu admire the thickness of Ueda Yinglang's face.
"Hehe, you should still give people some fantasies."
As'er is in a relaxed mood now, without the harassment of those troubles, Arthur and Li Mu can still be friends.
Regarding the Japanese Consulate in New York and Watanabe's letter, Arthur was very satisfied with Li Mu's handling of the situation.
Arthur doesn't care whether Watanabe Shin lives or dies, as long as he doesn't die in New York City, he loves to die.
"It's not that I don't care about the friendly relations between Japan and the United States, it's really not that there is any extra land to come up with, and as you know, since the construction of the Consulate General of the Centennial Exhibition of Independence, the price of land in the vicinity has risen rapidly, and at this time the Japanese want to buy land, and I really doubt their intentions."
Li Mu doesn't talk about politics, he opens his mouth to economic interests, as long as he leans on this, even if Grant sends a letter, Li Mu has something to say.
In April, the sun was already shining and the spring was blowing, the spring breeze was blowing all over the land, and the cold winter was finally far away, and the project that had been temporarily suspended due to the cold winter weather began to resume.
Because after the Centennial Exhibition of Independence, the New York City government will donate the main exhibition hall to Li Mu for the transformation into the Metropolitan Museum, so Li Mu is very concerned about the construction of the main exhibition hall, and more than 4,000 workers alone have been mobilized.
After a series of projects such as Kobin Reservoir and Junma Group Headquarters, Junma Construction Company is familiar with the construction of large-scale projects, so the progress of the main exhibition hall is very fast, as long as there is no problem with the raw materials, it is expected that the construction of the main exhibition hall will be completed in three months at most.
People in the 19th century are no less economically minded than people in the 21st century, the main exhibition hall has not yet been completed, and the nearby land prices have skyrocketed, but the largest piece of meat belongs to the Junma Group, and the residential community that the Junma Group itself started to build is under construction, and the location is right next to the main exhibition hall, which is a standard prime location.
The New York City government is considering merging Brooklyn County into the New York City government and becoming the Brooklyn District of New York, so Arthur is also very concerned about the new changes in Brooklyn County.
"Your community, but I have a big problem, the city government has also proposed to build their own community, to be allocated to government employees, and also choose the location in Brooklyn County, I really doubt that these people have been kicked in the head by donkeys, are they willing to take the ferry to work every morning" Arthur shook his head again and again, not hiding his complaints to Li Mu at all.
The employee community of the ZAMA Group has become the most sensational news in New York City, people are lamenting the welfare of the ZAMA Group employees, but also hope that the organization they serve can do something similar, the city government is of course the first to bear the brunt, and the civil servants in the United States are also very superior, how can they lag behind others in this kind of thing.

"It's simple, why don't I give the community I built now to your city government, you find me another piece of land, and I'll build another one."
Li Mu is also helpless, although there is a lot of vacant land in Manhattan, it is all sporadic land, and it is unrealistic to build a large-scale community, so Li Mu chose to be in Brooklyn.
This is not a problem for the New York City government, and although Manhattan is short of land, if the New York City government wants to expropriate it, it can still squeeze it out.
"Don't even think about it, exchanging the land of Brooklyn for the land of Manhattan is a shame for you."
Arthur gave Li Mu a big roll of the eyes, ordinary people don't know the value of Manhattan, how could Arthur not know.
"That's whatever you want, love or not."
Li Mu is not in a hurry, anyway, the residential community in Brooklyn County is only allocated to the workers of the Junma Automobile Factory, and as for the employees of the Manhattan headquarters, Li Mu has other arrangements.
Although the scattered land is not suitable for the construction of large-scale residential communities, it is no problem to use it to build apartment buildings, Li Mu has bought a lot of land in Manhattan over the years, hundreds of square meters to thousands of square meters, and there is no problem at all for one hundred and ten households in one building.
"Uh-huh" Arthur knew that he couldn't bargain in this matter, so he didn't dwell on this matter: "The proposal for the Brooklyn Bridge has been submitted to the council for review, what do you think?"
The Brooklyn Bridge, another important project of the New York City government.
The Brooklyn Bridge, the main transportation route connecting Manhattan and the Brooklyn Line, was designed by John Roeblin, a bridge designer who studied in Germany, and construction began in 1869.
Although the Brooklyn Bridge was designed by John Roblin, John Roblin did not have a chance to see it become a reality, and just before construction began, John Roblin died in an accident during a riverside survey.
After John Roeblin's death, John's son, Washington Roeblin, served as chief engineer for the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Washington Roeblin, like his father, was extremely responsible for the work, from the beginning of the project, Washington Roeblin insisted on directing the construction on the site, but the heavy work made Washington Roeblin suffer from "diver's disease", when the construction of the two bridge piles was completed, Washington Roeblin was paralyzed and could no longer be on site to direct the construction.
However, Washington Roeblin did not give up, and since then, the most peculiar scene in the history of architecture has appeared, Washington Roeblin uses a telescope in front of the window every day to observe the progress of the construction, and then dictates his instructions to his wife to hand over to the construction personnel, and Washington Roeblin's wife Emily has to teach herself advanced mathematics and other engineering techniques.
While the story of Washington and his son Roebling and his son is moving, it was still quite worrying to hand over a project of this magnitude to a person with disabilities, so it was suggested that the chief engineer should be replaced.
Arthur has nothing to do with this, for Arthur, the Brooklyn Bridge has little to do with Arthur, because the Brooklyn Bridge is estimated to be impossible to complete during Arthur's tenure, so Arthur does not care whether to replace the chief engineer.
Although the Brooklyn Bridge has nothing to do with Arthur, it may have a certain relationship with the Horse Group, you know, the Horse Construction Company is currently the most powerful construction company in New York, and the Brooklyn Bridge is the largest project in New York, if Li Mu is willing, Arthur can help Li Mu win the project.
Anyway, changing one is changing, and changing two is also changing.
"Forget about the Brooklyn Bridge, Arthur, I don't want to be scolded, Washington Roeblin did a good job, you better not get involved."
Li Mu doesn't want to spoil this good story, although the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge will bring a lot of economic benefits to Li Mu, but sometimes money is not everything, and there are still some beautiful things in the world that need to be maintained.
In its history, the Bridge Construction Committee has also held hearings on whether to replace the chief engineer, and as a result, Emily, Washington's wife, Roeblin, gave a speech at the American Civil Engineering Association, the first time a woman had given a speech on a similar occasion.
The final vote was seven against, one in favor, and Washington Roblin remained the chief engineer
