Unlike George Dewey, who was in the prime of life, William Sherman, who was born in 1820, was close to sixtieth year, and there was a huge gap between his age and Li Mu, so Li Mu was not suitable to be called a brother to William Sherman.
Li Mu originally had no opinion on William Sherman himself, but he couldn't stand Will's whispering in his ear every day, and even Li Mu was a little more disdainful of William Sherman.
It should be said that the soldiers at this time still more or less retained some gentlemanly demeanor, and on the battlefield, although some people did anything to win, many more still showed enough humanitarian spirit.
William Sherman belongs to the former, in order to win, William Sherman can do whatever it takes, even the burning of Atlanta can be made, this decision brought a heavy disaster to the Atlantans, they should not have paid for the war, but because of William Sherman's thoughts, the entire city was burned, this kind of behavior, together with Will for the Northern Army, is not used to it.
In fact, from Li Mu's point of view, William Sherman's approach is not bad at all, the war is a contest of comprehensive strength, in order to achieve victory, it should be done to the extreme, it is too normal to set fire to the enemy's rear or something, as for those innocent victims, don't be stupid, in the war, who is innocent Arms dealers never have mercy on people.
If William Sherman knew that Li Mu thought so, then William Sherman would definitely introduce Li Mu as a confidant, in fact, because of the burning of Atlanta, William Sherman has been criticized over the years, and the praise he has received is far less than the actual contribution, speaking of this, William Sherman is also a bitter tear.
"If you can, I hope you can speed up the research of 254 mm artillery, modern warfare, the content of science and technology is getting higher and higher, the caliber of artillery is getting larger and larger, it is best to blow up a city with one shell, and when it really comes, it must be the end of the world for us mankind."
William Sherman couldn't do without his old business even when he complained, and he said that this situation would be a reality in the future, but instead of the end of the world, humanity had reached a delicate balance of power, which really shocked many people.
Nuclear war is really not fun, the most powerful nuclear weapons are those that stay in the arsenal, why those small countries desperately want to build atomic bombs in the face of the world's condemnation, just to have this kind of deterrent, the current William Sherman, can not understand this mood.
"Maybe one day it will appear, unfortunately we don't have the opportunity to see it, as for the 254 mm gun, I promise that this will be successfully developed in our lifetime."
Chatting with William Sherman, Li Mu is still relatively restrained, if he chatted with George Dewey, Li Mu would have blown the to the sky.
Regarding nuclear weapons, maybe Li Mu can catch up in this life, but William Sherman must not be able to see it, and even because of Li Mu's appearance, it is conceivable that the strength of the United States will be stronger than in history, so it is uncertain whether there is a Second World War, and whether it can appear in the later period is a lack of prerequisites for a decisive role.
Some people say that science and technology are the primary productive forces, but in fact they are not right, war is the first driving force to promote the development of mankind, and only when it comes to the real moment of life and death can the potential of scientific researchers be stimulated 100 percent, and their efficiency is the highest at this time.
William Sherman is also a naval expert, when William Sherman strongly advocated the development of the navy, marching to the sea, and had a large number of fans in the military, Alfred Mahan wrote the theory of sea power, there is the shadow of William Sherman's military thought.
"In fact, there are many deficiencies in the 203 mm caliber artillery, as the main gun, its power is too small, the range is too close, and the power as a secondary gun is too great, which will affect the firepower balance of the whole ship, so the 203 mm caliber artillery is destined to be just a transitional product, you come on to get the 254 mm caliber artillery out, and when the time comes, you will find a way to let the Congress award you a medal."
William Sherman also worked hard, and in order to tempt Li Mu, he moved out of the Congress.
When it comes to influencing the Congress, Li Mu is not a little stronger than William Sherman, but Li Mu has no need to point it out, and he still has to give face: "If you want to say so, then the 254 mm caliber is also a transitional product, and there will be 305, 354, and even 406 in the future, and there is no end on the road of scientific research." ” At present, only the British in the world have mastered the manufacturing technology of 254 mm caliber guns, and although the scientific research strength of the Horse Research Institute and Krupp is strong, they have started late after all, and they are temporarily lagging behind in this regard.
However, Li Mu is very confident that as long as the current situation continues to develop, it will not be long before the Junma Laboratory will overcome the technical difficulties of 254 mm caliber artillery, and the United States will also complete the all-round surpassing of the United Kingdom.
The meal was still relatively enjoyable, William Sherman gave Li Mu enough face, and there was no nonsense at the dinner table, which made Li Mu basically satisfied.
After dinner, Li Mu returned to the hotel arranged for Li Mu in the New Haven factory, and began to meet again in waves.
For Li Mu, this kind of "reception" may have become a burden, each time the process is almost the same, first listen to the "report" full of all kinds of beautiful words on the previous day, and then concisely make a comment, and at the end of the attention to encourage it, the whole meeting time is controlled within ten minutes, many times, Li Mu said that the content is almost the same, basically according to the script, similar to this kind of activities, from the process to the lines are scripted, for Li Mu, such activities can be described as "boring", But for those who are qualified to report to Li Mu in person, this is the best reward for their hard work for a period of time, so Li Mu should try to make himself look as serious as possible, so as to leave them with a good memory.
By the time all the work was over, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and Li Mu could rest for about three hours, and then he would start a busy day of work.
This is the reason why Li Mu is reluctant to deal with specific work, fortunately there is Henry, otherwise Li Mu will not be able to spend a day like this.
The next morning, the Port of New Haven was lit up with lights, everyone was in high spirits, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.
In order to ensure the safety of the handover ceremony, the U.S.
Navy and the City of New Haven designated the entire Port of New Haven as a restricted area, with the Marine Corps and the City of New Haven Police Department on joint duty, as well as a number of members of the National Guard, who are the outer security force.
"On this occasion, shouldn't it be an opportunity for the Spring Security Company to be in the limelight, why can't I see the staff of the Spring Security Company at the scene" Li Mu thought for a long time, and finally remembered that something was wrong.
In New York, basically all large-scale open-air events now, the employees of Springfield Security Company are indispensable in black uniforms, which has almost become a beautiful scenery in New York, and like the New York City Mounted Police, they are the most trustworthy people in the hearts of New York citizens.
Although he does not know the specific situation, Li Mu can also be sure that Springfield Security Company must have a branch in New Haven City, in fact, in major cities across the United States, as long as there are subsidiaries or offices of the Horsehorse Group, there are staff members of the Springfield Security Company, the arms industry is the core industry of the Horseland Group, and the New Haven Artillery Factory is the top priority, so there must be the distribution of Springfield Security Company here.
"The New Haven branch is engaged in more private security business, and of course there is also corporate business, but the New Haven City Government is more face-loving, and requires our employees to appear in front of the public and must wear the clothes of the New Haven City Police Department, so "Yan Shun's voice came in a timely manner, and the answer made Li Mu cry and laugh, it turned out that there were employees of Chuntian Security Company at the scene, but Li Mu, the boss, did not know.
It seems that compared with the New York City Government, the New Haven City Government is still more disciplined, at least the New Haven City Government is not ready to use the Springfield Security Company as a scapegoat, otherwise the New Haven City Government will not allow the security personnel of the Springfield Security Company to wear the uniforms of the New Haven City Police.
Of course, it's more likely that the City of New Haven hasn't found the right way to open the "temp workers", otherwise this would not be the case.
The 18 guns waiting to be delivered on the dock side have been prepared, and due to the technical conditions at this time, each gun weighs a staggering 40 tons including the base, and the thickness of the barrel is comparable to that of the future 305 mm gun in terms of appearance.
After all, compared with the old imperialist countries like Britain, the United States is still too weak after all, and the American science and technology at this time can give birth to epoch-making products such as automobiles, but it cannot give birth to too many military products beyond the times.
Unlike Li Mu's suit, William Sherman and George Dewey were both dressed in military uniforms, they mixed in the military team, and chatted hotly with a group of admirals, especially George Dewey, this guy is really like a fish in water, and it seems that he has endless topics to talk about with everyone.
Before the handover ceremony began, Li Mu and New Haven Mayor Daniel Moses took the opportunity to pull a relationship.
Like Li Mu, Daniel Moses is also a Republican, and is also from Springfield, which is a surprise for Li Mu, and the two first chatted from Springfield: "It was such a beautiful place, I can never forget, when autumn came, how spectacular that beauty was, Will always said, after retirement, I must return to Springfield to spend my old age, I think so too, but I don't know, what Springfield will be like then" This is really far, Li Mu is not even 20 years old this year, and as a result, he mentioned retirement as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Daniel Moses, who was already close to his sixtieth birthday, embarrassed.
"Who knows what will happen in the future, I have to thank you for speaking of which, if you hadn't exposed the shady story of the Pacific Railroad, I would have retired by now" Daniel Moses and Li Mu chatted very hotly, and when the fellow saw the fellow, he really had tears in his eyes.
At the beginning, Li Mu brought down the Mobile Credit Company, which led to the outbreak of the Pacific Railroad scandal, and then triggered a high-level shock that affected almost the entire United States, and this shock was not limited to the railway area, and related industries were also affected by the railway industry.
However, listening to Daniel Moses, he should be the beneficiary of Li Mu's exposure of the Pacific Railroad scandal, it seems that this is also a person with a story, but Li Mu does not mean to get to the bottom of it, who can't have a little secret, as long as Daniel Morgan doesn't take the initiative to talk about it, Li Mu won't ask.
"I've always been grateful that the artillery factory has caused a lot of trouble to the mayor and the city government here, but I haven't had a proper opportunity to reciprocate, so please give me a chance to have lunch together after the ceremony is over."
Li Mu has now departed from the level of opening his mouth to ask for benefits, and has begun to contact his feelings from a higher level.
Let Li Mu open his mouth depends on whom, such as HiSilicon, or Arthur, maybe it is worth Li Mu to open his mouth once, Daniel Moses forget it, if this kind of thing happens, let the general manager of the New Haven artillery factory do it.
Li Mu's "grateful" is sincere, heavy industry is actually a highly polluting industry, and "grateful" compared with Li Mu should actually say "sorry".
Of course, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, looking back, Li Mu still wants to put the artillery factory in New Haven City, the transportation here is too convenient, these guns on the dock will be loaded into the ship later, go out to sea and walk around and then send them to the Navy Shipyard on the other side of the Port of New Haven, which is simply a matter of saving.

"Of course, I still have a bottle of vintage wine there, and you wouldn't expect it to be from Springfield, and I can assure you that my wine tastes no worse than the champagnes imported from France."
Daniel Moses really has two brushes, which can easily poke the tip of Li Mu's heart.
"Gentlemen, if it's about the same, let us get started at once, our lads can't wait, and they have asked me to pay you the highest respect on their behalf."
George Dewey left the military phalanx to say hello, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was disgusting with his old age.
In fact, George Dewey was not very old at all, and there were several soldiers in the room wearing effect ranks, all of whom were obviously gray-haired, and it was really funny to describe them as "boys".
But this is the tradition of the Navy, whoever has the big rank is the father, and the Navy attaches more importance to these than the Army
