A penny to suffocate the hero, in fact, it is the same when it is magnified to the country, don't look at the republic in the 21st century slowly awesome, the republic has also experienced the era of millet and rifle when it was first established, and now Japan, it is even more difficult than the original republic, at least the original republic can also develop some natural resources in exchange for some foreign exchange or something, the current Japan, that is really not it, let alone the purchase of new weapons, even if it maintains their original scale, it is not enough.
In this case, it is really difficult for them to compete with the Horse Group.
Li Mu has always been slow to do things, if he can be killed with one stick, he will definitely not drag two sticks, so even though the provision of advanced weapons for the Ryukyu National Guard has caused some people to be dissatisfied in the United States, Li Mu still insists on doing so.
The first person to complain to Li Mu was George Dewey.
Compared to the original history, the trajectory of George Dewey's life has now completely changed.
In Li Mu's impression, without Li Mu's appearance, George Dewey seems to be making money in Southeast Asia now, but in this time and space, George Dewey's military rank is now a lieutenant general, a popular candidate for the next US Secretary of War.
"I have no problem with you dealing with the Japanese, and I have no problem with providing weapons and equipment for the Ryukyu National Guard, but can you consider the needs of the military, we haven't all changed to Springfield rapid-fire rifles yet, can't those Ryukyuan people be equipped with single-shot rifles first" George Dewey was angry, and directly found Governor's Island to complain in person.
The so-called "rapid-fire rifle" is also a magazine rifle, which is the latest product of the Springfield Arms Factory, the ex-factory price of each is 65 US dollars, which is much more expensive than a single-shot rifle, and the US War Department has been thinking about it for half a year, but it is still reluctant to redress all the US troops, and now Li Mu has issued all the "rapid-fire rifles" to the Ryukyu National Guard, which makes George Dewey's psychology really difficult to balance.
"George, what do you want me to do, I'm a merchant, the Ryukyuan people are willing to give an island with an area of nearly 50 square kilometers in exchange for this batch of weapons, and what can the Ministry of War give me They are not even willing to test."
Li Mu was also dissatisfied with the Ministry of War, and he was also angry when he said it.
Although the number of the US Army is small, the base of the Navy is large, not to mention the National Guard Forces of various states, and it is not a trivial matter to replace all weapons, and the War Department really can't come up with so much money for a while.
In fact, Li Mu's requirements are not high, if the Ministry of War is unable to pay all the costs required to replace the weapons at one time, Li Mu can also accept the installment payment, as long as the Minister of War Sherman is willing to make an IOU.
The problem now is that Sherman is not only unwilling to make an IOU, but even unwilling to start a conversation with Li Mu about this matter, which makes Li Mu very dissatisfied.
"You also have to take into account that changing weapons is not a trivial matter, it is not something that someone can say, and if it is not approved by Congress, even if Mr.
President agrees, it is useless, so you should not blame Mr.
Minister of War, he must have his concerns."
George Dewey said a rare word for Sherman.
"Stop, when you become the Minister of War, it's not too late for you to speak for the Ministry of War."
Li Mucai doesn't eat this set, who won't say empty words, and if you can't see real money, it's all fake and empty.
"Of course I want to be a minister, but it's not up to me, so I hope you can help Mr.
Hayes win as soon as possible, and there may be some hope."
George Dewey is not stupid, once a son of heaven and a courtier, as long as Ulysses Grant is on stage, it is estimated that George Dewey has no chance.
"Then the key to the problem is the presidential election," Li Mu smiled bitterly, and his heart was irritable. is not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, this sentence is the truest portrayal between Li Mu and the Republican Party.
There will be a general election at the end of the year, and it is said that all Republicans should be unanimous in their efforts to win the general election first.
There is a premise here, first of all, the Republican Party must reverse the image of corruption that has been inherent in the minds of voters and show a new look, so that it can have more opportunities in the general election.
This is also what Li Mu and Time Magazine are doing with all their strength now.
American voters' opinions on the Republican Party are now mainly focused on corruption, and it is not enough to say that they have completely lost confidence in the Republican Party, so as long as all Republicans are united, there is still much to be done in the next few months, and Li Mu is even 100 percent confident that he can reverse the inherent impression of the Republican Party in the minds of voters.
At this critical moment, there was another moth in the Republican Party, and this time even Li Mu and the Junma Group were pushed to the forefront.
Perhaps it was the popularity of the Centennial Independence Exhibition that stimulated the people of Philadelphia, and just last month, the Philadelphia City Government suddenly sued the Organizing Committee of the New York Centennial Independence Exhibition, on the grounds that the Organizing Committee of the New York Centennial Independence Exhibition had violated the rights and interests of the Philadelphia City Government, and the Philadelphia City Government demanded that the Centennial Independence Exhibition Organizing Committee of the New York City Independence Centennial Exhibition bear the expenses paid by the Philadelphia City Government in advance for the Centennial Independence Exhibition.
This expense is another bad debt.
The Centennial of Independence was initially organized by the Philadelphia City Government, which allocated nearly $1 million in start-up capital and later sold more than $2 million in bonds.
As a result, so much money was smashed, and I didn't even see a blister, and finally the New Yorkers successfully pried the corner.
If the Centennial Independence Fair is smashed by New Yorkers, then the Philadelphia City government will be happy to see the excitement, and the question now is that seeing that the Centennial Independence Fair is becoming more and more popular, the New York City Government will definitely be able to make a big profit from the middle, which makes Philadelphia people how to swallow this breath.
Probably because the people of Philadelphia felt that there was no chance of winning this matter if it passed the federal court, so it was the Pennsylvania State Legislature that accepted the lawsuit of the Philadelphia City government, but this matter was preemptively stabbed out by the Democrats, and it turned out to be a big scandal for the Republican Party.
For ordinary people, they don't care what the specific significance of the Centennial Exhibition of Independence is, whether the New York government is operating more perfectly, or the Philadelphia city government has really suffered great grievances, they care about the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea around them, or the gossip of some big people, for the "fish-elephant dispute" between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, which in the eyes of ordinary people, this is more like a farce, although it has little meaning to them, but this will undoubtedly further reduce their evaluation of the Republican Party, This affects their voting tendencies.
The last thing Li Mu wants to see is this scene, so Li Mu has been in a very bad mood for the past two days, even if it is tomorrow, the Independence Centennial Exhibition will be officially opened, Li Mu's mood is not the slightest bit excited.
"Speaking of the opening ceremony, Mr.
President seems to be arriving in the evening, will you pick up the station then" George Dewey did not care about the dispute between the New York City government and the Philadelphia city government.
"Go, of course" Li Mu is definitely going to go, and he has to seize the opportunity to sue the people of Philadelphia.
Although the New York train station at night is full of lights, there is a post at three steps and a post at five steps, and it is really heavily guarded.
About a week ago, New York has entered a state of martial law, no way, now there are too many political dignitaries in New York, the slightest carelessness is a big scandal, it is said that Bresta loses a lot of hair every day, and he can't sleep at night.
In addition to Cuban President Silvestre, now the King of Brazil is also in New York, plus the President of the United States, New York is really as many people as dogs, celebrities everywhere, no matter who bumps here, Bresta can't escape responsibility, so Bresta is very nervous during this time, and he has a nervous breakdown.
Although Ulysses Grant will not be president for a few days, after all, he is still on the stage, so there are still a lot of people who come to pick up, not only Hayes and Arthur are present, but even the Democratic presidential candidate Samuel Tilden is there.
"What shit, why is this guy here."
Li Mu is very reluctant to see Samuel Tilden now.

It is also normal for Samuel Tilden to come to pick up the station, after all, the current New York train station can be seen as a show, and Hayes and Samuel Tilden need to be exposed, so they will definitely not be absent from such an occasion.
By the way, tomorrow's opening ceremony of the Centennial Exhibition of Independence, both Hayes and Samuel Tilden will also be present.
"If you don't like him, throw him out" Arthur didn't squint, and the words he said were not very good.
"Go ahead, I'll support you spiritually."
Li Mucai is not fooled by this.
As he spoke, Ulysses Grant's train roared into the station, and a staff member beckoned the military band to start playing, and the red carpet had been rolled out on the platform, and at one end of the carpet, two little girls who had been selected to lay flowers were very excited, and they were also part of the pick-up station.
"Hurry up, hurry up, find a good position" Li Mu heard that someone next to him was still greeting, and turned his head to see that it was actually a group of reporters.
Since it is a show, how can there be no reporters, Li Mu is very sure, he only notified the Time Magazine family, and he doesn't know where the others got the news.
After the train stopped, the door did not open in a hurry, and a staff member of the Presidential Palace got off the train first to communicate with Arthur in advance, and then the train door slowly opened.
Ulysses Grant appeared at the door of the carriage wearing a black top hat, a tuxedo, and a cane.
When he saw the people picking up the people on the platform, Ulysses Grant smiled very brightly, and took off his hat to greet the people on the platform.
"Thank you very much for your hard work" "Alan, long time no see" Ulysses Grant is good at dancing with long sleeves, I each shook hands cordially, and in a very short period of time, I had to chat a few words affectionately, no wonder this guy was born in the military but was able to serve two consecutive terms as president, and the affinity is really good.
When it was Li Mu's turn, Ulysses Grant was extremely enthusiastic, not only giving Li Mu a hug, but also inviting Li Mu to share a car.
As soon as he sat in the carriage, Li Mu began to complain: "Can't you stop the behavior of the Philadelphia city government and the Pennsylvania state court, what are they trying to do and create a scandal at this critical time, aren't we in trouble enough?"
Li Mu was very angry in his heart, this is also in Pennsylvania, if it was in New York, Li Mu dared to guarantee that this kind of case would not be accepted by the court.
When it comes to Pennsylvania, it seems to be Rockefeller's lair "What can I say, you know, I'm stepping down in a few months, and even if I don't, I don't have much influence on the Pennsylvania State Court."
Ulysses Grant finally showed a tired look on his face, and as always, Ulysses Grant knew that this kind of thing was bad for the Republican Party, but there was nothing he could do about it.
To say that Ulysses Grant is the president can be regarded as aggrieved, or that under the political system of the United States, whoever becomes the president must learn to be patient, unless it is a time of war, the president cannot cover the sky with one hand, and even the president will be more restricted when doing things.
When Li Mu didn't know about the president of the United States before, he thought that the president of the United States was a glorious position, but now he knows that in fact, the president is a bag of anger, the top has to protect the interests of the consortium, the bottom has to curry favor with the voters, and the middle has to balance factional disputes, no wonder the probability of the unnatural death of the president of the United States is so high.
"I now have reason to suspect that Pennsylvania and Philadelphia have been bought off by the Democrats, which is why they stabbed us at this critical moment, otherwise I really can't think of any explanation."
Li Mu seized every opportunity to take eye medicine, even Li Mu knew that it was unlikely.
"No, no, Reem, you're too extreme, although there is such a possibility, but this possibility is very small, almost negligible."
Ulysses Grant said it lightly, but his brow was already furrowed.
It is not uncommon for Pennsylvania to be bought, and although Pennsylvania is nominally a hardcore Republican vote, no one dares to guarantee that Pennsylvania will definitely stand on the Republican side.
In fact, in the past year or two, the Republican Party has been losing and retreating in the election campaign, and many hardcore votes have changed hands, and even the governor of New York has been replaced by a Democrat, which shows how obvious the decline of the Republican Party is.
"Don't be too optimistic, Mr.
President, if we don't cheer up, then it is very likely that we will be defeated, and no one can afford to take this responsibility."
Although Li Mu has always been very confident, it must also be based on the premise that there are no pig teammates, if someone jumps out to make some moths in three days, then Li Mu does not dare to guarantee that he will win
