In mid-October, the Republican National Convention was held in New York.
There were more than 700 people attending the Republican National Convention, of which about 25 votes were directly or indirectly influenced by Li Muneng, who were classified as conservatives in the Republican Party because of their extreme political conservatism and closedness.
This is really a little confusing, Li Mu always thought that he was a reformer, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of the world, he was actually a complete conservative.
No wonder others think so, the two access systems proposed by Li Mu to James Bryan have been passed out after all, and it is well known that the access system represents the extreme xenophobia of an industry, they do not allow any new forces to join, and only want to maintain the status quo in the industry, so Li Mu is not wronged at all when he is classified as a conservative.
Conservatives are conservatives, Li Mu does not reject this title, in fact, there are not a few people in the Republican Party who have the same idea as Li Mu, and most of them have successful careers and have a certain status, if they can become their spokesperson, it would be good.
As a representative of the Republican Party in Massachusetts, Li Mu participated in the national convention, and the central idea of the congress was to decide the candidate to represent the Republican Party in the 23rd term of the United States.
After the election of the Republican National Convention Committee, a total of five people were nominated, of which the most vocal was James Bryan, followed by Hysilicon and James Garfield, and the other two were purely accompanied, with no chance of winning at all, and were eliminated after the first round of elections.
In the first round of voting, James Bryan was the winner, followed by James Garfield, with Hayes receiving the fewest votes.
After the first round of voting, there is a one-week break, and a week later there will be a second round of voting, and someone who can get more than 50 votes in the vote can represent the Republican Party in the presidential race.
On the night of the end of the first round of voting, Li Mu became the target of three presidential candidates.
"Mr.
James Bryan invites you to a dinner at Castle Clinton tonight," Yan Shun took a stack of invitations and reported to Li Mu one by one.
"Yes, but I can't stay too long" Li Mu couldn't refuse such an invitation, many Republicans would gather at Clinton Castle in the evening, and Li Mu would show up anyway.
"Mr.
James Garfield wants to have lunch with you tomorrow," Yan Shun continued.
"No, I'm going to pick up Mr.
President tomorrow morning and tell Mr.
Garfield that I don't have time tomorrow morning."
Li Mu is not a prevarication, he is indeed a flawless clone.
Li Mu already knew James Garfield's attitude towards the "access system", and like James Bryan, James Garfield was opposed to the "access system", and James Garfield also disagreed with the American Arms Industry Association established some time ago, and in the first call between James Garfield's assistant and Yan Shun, James Garfield's assistant unreasonably demanded that the Horse Arms Company dissolve the American Arms Industry Association.
Such a request is simply deliberately against Li Mu, Li Mu absolutely cannot agree, the American Arms Industry Association is a loose combination of civilian nature, and it is not at all an executive order that can be dissolved, and the current James Garfield does not have this right.
In Li Mu's impression, James Garfield seemed to be successfully elected president of the United States in four years, but this unlucky guy was assassinated after becoming president, and finally cheapened the then vice president Arthur. is so rude and rude and undisciplined, it's no wonder that James Garfield will be assassinated.
Now that Li Mu is involved, it is still unknown whether James Garfield can be successfully elected as in history, so there is no need for Li Mu to make a false deal with James Garfield.
"Mr.
Rutherford Hayes invites you to dinner tomorrow night," Yan Shun made notes on James Garfield's invitation, and then continued to read the next one.
"Yes."
Li Mu agreed very happily this time, these three people are really interesting, the order of inviting Li Mu is completely in the order of the number of votes, at present, Hayes has the least number of votes, the most worthy of Li Mu's investment, and at the same time, although Hays's winning side seems to be the smallest, but Li Mu knows very well that if there is no accident, Hayes will become the twenty-third president of the United States.
However, it is not easy to get a promise from Hays, and what is very unfavorable to Li Mu is that Hayes is a well-known reformist in the Republican Party, who opposes black-box operations, opposes political party fat distribution, and favors the reform of the civil service system, all of which seem to be incompatible with Li Mu.
However, Li Mu was confident that he could reach an agreement with Hayes, who was perhaps the most compromising person in American history, so in the 1876 election, the largest controversy broke out in the history of the American presidential election.
New York Governor Samuel Tilden, who was running for the Democratic Party at the time, was the first to get 184 electoral votes, while Hays, who was running for the Republicans, received only 165 electoral votes, and there were still 20 electoral votes pending, and according to the presidential election system, as long as someone gets 185 electoral votes, then he will win the race.
At that time, even the most optimistic people about Hayes did not think that Hayes still had hope, including Hayes himself thought that he was doomed, because as long as Samuel Tilden won one more electoral vote, then Samuel Tilden would become the 23rd president of the United States.
The 20 pending ballots belong to four states, three of which are Southern, including Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana, and the last state is Oregon in the West.
Southern states have always been the traditional stronghold of the Democratic Party, and if Samuel Tilden wins any of the three southern states, the Republicans will lose everything.
That's when the magic happened, both the Democrats and the Republicans claimed that their parties had won, and in order to eliminate the controversy, Congress set up an election committee to decide the final victory.
The Election Commission consisted of 15 members, seven of whom belonged to the Democratic Party, seven to the Republican Party, and the last one was an independent justice who had no political affiliations at the time.
The Democratic Party, which felt that it had won the game, finally made a stupid move at this time, and elected the independent justice as a senator to represent the Democratic Party, which gave the Republican Party a handle, and the independent justice was forced to resign and be replaced by another justice to the election committee.
Because the independent justice, although not currently affiliated with any party, was a former Republican member, the final ruling of the election committee was that the 20 outstanding electoral votes belonged to the Republican Party, and the Republicans narrowly won by 185 votes to 184.
The Democrats, who were already preparing to celebrate their victory, were absolutely unacceptable to this result, and at that time, the Second Civil War almost broke out, but at this time they still showed their excellent diplomatic skills, and reluctantly persuaded the Democrats to accept this result on the condition of a gradual withdrawal of troops from the southern states.
From this point, it can be seen that Hayes is a guy who does not follow the usual path, as long as he can win the final victory, he can trade with anyone, anything can become his bargaining chip, and a mere "access system" should not be a problem.
Although he has decided on his choice, Li Mu can't be too urgent, and it is more in Li Mu's interests to let Hayes calm down appropriately, so Li Mu doesn't plan to show all the hole cards as soon as he comes up, to see how smart the Hayes family is, the whole world thinks he lost, and as a result, they came to a shocking reversal at the last second, and such a victory is worth remembering.
That night, the Clinton Castle was lit up with lights and crowds, and all Republicans gathered together to celebrate the smooth conduct of the first vote.
As one of the landlords in New York, Li Mu did not appear at the banquet for a long time, but he became one of the focal points of the banquet.
Almost all the Republican party bigwigs will chat with Li Mu, which can be regarded as a kind of appeasement, today Li Mu made a wrong bet before the election, but Li Mu represents the future of the Republican Party, and has a strong power in his hands that others can't reach Li Mu is mature, steady, humorous, and "knowledgeable", whether facing conservatives, radicals, or reformers, Li Mu can talk and laugh with him.
Speaking of this knowledgeable, thanks to the 21st century network, people in the 21st century simply can't understand how poor people's knowledge was before, some studies show that in the 21st century, a person learns the information on the Internet every day, probably before the advent of the Internet, an ordinary person learned the sum of information in 50 years.
An otaku like Li Mu, the knowledge in his head is almost equal to the sum of the knowledge of everyone present, so it is not difficult to understand why Li Mu is so popular.

The key is that Li Mu is not stingy in sharing his knowledge, and in the face of businessmen, Li Mu can chat with him about assembly lines, scientific management, and overall planning.
In the face of politicians, Li Mu can talk to him about the art of compromise, about opening the door, and about the relationship between politics and economics.
Confronting the military Well, there are no military personnel in the banquet hall, this is a gathering of Republicans, there can be no military personnel, the US Constitution stipulates that military personnel can have the right to vote, but they cannot have political leanings, and they are not allowed to join political parties during their military service, so even military personnel who support the Republican Party like Will cannot blatantly come to the gathering of Republicans.
James Bryan seemed to feel that he had won the game, in his heart, Li Mu's importance was gradually decreasing, and in the middle of the banquet, James Bryan took the initiative to talk to Li Mu.
"Reem, have you made a decision, as long as you give up your access system, then no matter what you ask, we can sit down and talk slowly."
James Bryan had drunk a lot of wine, and his head was already red, but he was still sober.
"James, you know, the access system is imperative."
Li Mu didn't intend to compromise, and looked at James Bryan with more pity in his eyes.
You should be proud now, the more ruthless you are proud now, the more ruthless you will be lost in the future, and the greater the so-called hope, the greater the disappointment, this is what it means.
These Republican bigwigs are also ill-intentioned, the higher they praise James Brian, the harder James Bryan will fall in the future.
"Okay, it seems that we can't reach an agreement between us" James Bryan's face was full of regret, James Bryan and Li Mu had a pleasant cooperation, the feeling of complementing each other made James Bryan remember it vividly, originally James Bryan wanted to relive that feeling in this election, but unfortunately, the difference between James Bryan and Li Mu is too big, it has reached the point where it cannot be reconciled, which does make James Bryan regret.
"It's just about this, and I'm sure in many other ways we still have a common language."
Li Mu doesn't have many regrets, and he looks more mature than James Brian.
American politics is like this, the winner takes everything, the loser has nothing, but the winner does not kill the loser, and the loser has a chance to make a comeback.
This is the so-called demeanor of the Americans, in their opinion, politics is just a game, so don't care too much about winning or losing, just like Li Mu and James Brian, although Li Mu and James Bryan can't agree on the "access system", but this will not affect the friendship between them.
"Hahaha, you're right, we can also find a common language in other aspects" James Bryan didn't dwell on this issue, there are other relationships that James Bryan needs to maintain, and James Bryan can't waste too much time on Li Mu.
Arthur originally followed James Bryan everywhere to find someone to toast, but this time he didn't go with James Bryan, but chatted with Li Mu a few more words.
"I'm a little sorry now, I think I made the wrong bet again" Arthur frowned, but now that he had placed the bet and left his hand, it was too late to get off the boat, and he had to go all the way to the dark.
"Come on, you can think of this as an experience."
Although I am not optimistic about James Brian, this does not mean that Arthur will gain nothing, and the experience of this period will become a valuable experience for Arthur, and in four years, these experiences will help James Garfield win.
"That's the only way to go, who made me involuntarily."
Arthur's face was very bleak, but at the same time, there was hope in his eyes.
"Go ahead, it's a great opportunity to build a network."
Li Mu urged softly.
For Arthur, this is indeed a good opportunity to accumulate contacts, and the same is true for Li Mu, only 25 votes are far from enough, Li Mu wants to get more
