In the 21st century, there are often people talking about patriotic education in the United States, as if capitalist countries do not need patriotic education, and the fact that Li Mu knows is that every new immigrant who becomes an American citizen must face the flag bearer and swear loyalty to the federal government according to the constitution, which naturally includes being willing to fight for the federal government, and every American citizen has the obligation to fight for the country when needed.
Of course, Li Mu did not go through this procedure at the beginning, and even Li Mu did not go to the immigration bureau to become a U.S. citizen, and Will handled it from beginning to end.
During the Civil War, volunteers were the main components of the battlefield, Henry Dupont, Benjamin Harrison, Chester Arthur, they were all members of the volunteers, and now the United States wants to launch a war against the Spaniards, of course, volunteers are not indispensable, you know, Washington's view of Spain is slightly different from Li Mu, Li Mu of course knows that the United States can easily defeat Spain, but Washington does not know.
Although Spain in this period has been weakened, domestic turmoil, and chaotic military command, after all, Spain is still one of the old colonial countries, and there are hundreds of years of accumulation across the world, this accumulation is not only economic, but also has the pride of being an old colonial country, no one knows how much energy Spain will burst out in the face of war, it may be defeated, but it is also possible to bottom out, before losing the Spanish-American War, even if Spain is beaten to the ground in Cuba, But except for Li Mu, no one dares to pack a ticket, and the United States will definitely be able to defeat Spain.
Therefore, in the United States at this time, probably Li Mu is the most relaxed person, and no one else dares to be careless, even if the volunteers organized in New York may not have the opportunity to go to the Far East at all, the New York State government does not dare not make any preparations.
In this case, it is indeed the same as what Li Mu said, since the future of the volunteers in New York is uncertain, it is better to hand over those volunteers to the command of the Far East Company, at least so that they can play their due role.
"Don't even think about it, the state government and the city government don't interfere with your Far East Company's recruitment of mercenaries, and you don't want to fight the idea of volunteers, what's the matter, are you backing down" Arthur knows that the Far East Company has been authorized by the Ministry of War, and the recruitment of mercenaries is going well, in fact, even if it doesn't go well, Arthur will not hand over the volunteers to the Far East Company, which is tantamount to giving the handle to the Democrats who are eyeing the Democrats.
It should be said that Arthur is the direct beneficiary of the rise of the Junma Group, if it were not for Li Mu's cooperation, it would not be easy for the Republican Party to regain power in New York State, you must know that in the whole United States, New York is the most important state in addition to the New England region, the Republican Party is not willing to lose the ruling power of New York, the former governor who failed in the competition for governor with Arthur, the Democrat Samuel Tilden is always ready to make a comeback, Arthur is not carried away by a momentary victory.
"I never retreat from the word in my dictionary, I just don't want to waste the patriotic enthusiasm of the volunteers, they are willing to fight, and I can meet their requirements, and they will benefit from it, is there a more perfect combination than this" Li Mu did not force it, of course it is good to be able to get these 2,000 people, no is not bad, anyway, Li Mu is very sure that the Spanish servant army in Luzon will definitely not be able to do the mercenaries of the Far East Company.
Those "servant army" are mainly indigenous troops, only some of the officers are served by Spaniards, Li Mu does not think that those Spanish officers have absolute control over the army under them, you must know that the Spaniards in order to save expenses, the salary provided to the servant army is not rich, the Spaniards are not even willing to invest in upgrading the army of the servant army, those servant army is also used to scare the colonial natives has a little effect, really to pull to the battlefield, they hear the sound of artillery and do not bomb the battalion, even if those Spanish officers are not messing around.
"The combination of arms dealers and soldiers is indeed perfect" Based on Li Mu's previous performance, Arthur agreed with Li Mu's words, which does not mean that Arthur has no opinion on Li Mu: "Speaking of volunteers, when do you plan to deliver the weapons ordered by the state government, my secretary told me that it will be half a year later, do you have to wait until the Spaniards are defeated?"
Volunteers are also considered regular troops, naturally it is impossible to do as much as mercenaries, the New York State government is not short of this money, as early as two months ago, placed an order with the Horse Arms Company, to purchase enough 2,000 people to use various equipment, the Horse Weapons Company promised very well, the order will be delivered before August, but now it has entered July, the people who use the weapons have been in place, but the Horse Weapons Company has not moved, so Arthur is not in a hurry.
"Wait, the Horse Arms Company has just completed the order of the Bahamian company, and now it has to complete the order of the War Department, and the order of the Far East company is also in line, anyway, it is unlikely that the volunteers will go to the Far East, it doesn't matter if it is a few months at night."
Li Mu understated that he thanked the careerists who were not willing to be lonely, and the Junma Arms Company has never lacked orders.
This is good news for Li Mu, because it seems that the whole world is expanding its army, the old empires of Europe are eager to arm themselves into hedgehogs, the Bahamian company is advancing in Haiti, and the clouds of war in the Far East are also brewing, although the order of the Far East Company came later than the New York State government, but the Far East Company is its own people and must be satisfied first, and the New York State government is also "its own people", it doesn't matter if it is a little late, the Horse Arms Company is now receiving a group of Russians, and they also want to order weapons, Li Mu has notified Zhang Leye, To give the Russians a good price.
Don't blame Li Mu for being black, Li Mu thinks the same as Bai Qi, no matter how the Russians and the Japanese fight, it's not the Chinese who die anyway, whatever.
The Russians are not only facing Japan, the Poles and Turks are Russia's old rivals, the Turks are already equipped with the magazine rifles produced by the Horse Arms Company, and the Russians do not dare to slack off, and when the Russians are equipped with new rifles, the Poles will follow, this is a virtuous circle, Li Mu hopes that the more such cycles, the better.
"What about your integrity" Arthur despised Li Mu's casual behavior, although a mockery could not change Li Mu's mind, but even if it only made Li Mu uncomfortable, it was not bad, anyway, the state government was unlikely to pursue the legal responsibility of the horse weapons company because of this matter.
There is no way to investigate, in the process of dealing with large enterprises such as the Junma Group, the government departments are at a natural disadvantage, the Junma Group has a standing legal department, even if it is their own loss, the Junma Group is not afraid of a large enterprise, even if it is a few years or more than ten years, there is no problem, the government departments can not afford it, and the election every few years is the mantra on the head of the head of the government, as long as the electoral system exists, the government departments must remain humble in front of large enterprises like the Junma Group.
"Hey, don't talk to me about integrity, everyone is qualified, but you politicians don't."
Li Mu raised his head at forty-five degrees and looked at people with his nostrils, which was really unbeatable.
Indeed, don't look at politicians who open their mouths every day to be "fair" and close their mouths to "integrity", in fact, politicians are the most dishonest creatures, they can blow the sky when they are elected, and after they are elected, they can treat the voters as their ancestors, and when the election is successful, all the promises will become a cloud of smoke, and occasionally one or two things can be done, and they can already be called trustworthy, please refer to the current President Hayes for a recent example.
"What did you say when you were running for governor that you would reduce tariffs on corporate exports, increase tariffs on imported products, ensure the independence of the journalists' association, establish a press censorship system, and many more, which of them did you do?"
When he was running for governor, Arthur gave Li Mu no less than ten promises, but none of them have been fulfilled until now, and the sad thing is that Li Mu can't stop supporting Arthur, if this is a different person, maybe it's not as good as Arthur.
"Ah, I'm going to go to the council later, goodbye" Arthur didn't entangle with Li Mu, the soles of his feet slipped away as if they were smeared with oil, and Li Mu's burst of laughter came from behind him, and Arthur shook his middle finger without looking back.
Sending Arthur away, Li Mu fell into a state of idleness again, thanks to the tireless Henry, Li Mu's work every day is only to look at the financial statements, although this thing can not be 100% reflected whether the executives are qualified, at least as an important reference for Li Mu to evaluate the work status of the executives.
Well, in fact, even the financial statements are first reviewed by the financial department and the secretarial department, only those abnormal will be sent to Li Mu here, Li Mu's luck is good, the financial statements of each subsidiary last month are normal, which means that Li Mu's work this month has basically been completed.
It's only the beginning of the month.
"Let's go Mason, it's time to get off work, who won yesterday's game" Li Mu decided to get off work, and it was better to go home and hug the little padded jacket if he had nothing to do in the office.
Rugby league is in full swing, the regular season has entered the middle of the season, at the top of the standings is the "Autobots", this is the team sponsored by the horse car company, they have a match yesterday with the second place in the standings "The Lightning team", the lightning team is a team sponsored by the horse telecommunications company, this game is widely watched, known as the most important game in the first half of the game, the general manager of the telecommunications company Richard Gresham, and the general manager of the car company Noah Sweet will be on hand to support their teams, Li Mu was not easy to express his position at that time, after all, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, so Li Mu simply didn't look at it.
New Yorkers love rugby, a game full of muscles and collisions, and during extreme times, most of the participating teams have their own regular fans, and the games played every weekend are often hot topics for a week until the next week's games, and as with the National Rally, fans are not only interested in the game itself, but also for the athletes who shine in the game.
Time magazine seized the opportunity and quickly set up Sports Illustrated to meet the viewing needs of fans.
"Of course it's the Autobots, the Chargers had a chance to win the game, but they didn't take it, Kingsley of the Autobots did a great job and he didn't give the opponent much of a chance."
Mason is a die-hard Autobot fan, and as long as Li Mu doesn't go out, Mason watches the Autobots play every weekend.
The United States is a country that worships heroes, which can be seen from the god-making sports that have been played badly in the 21st century, although the football league has just appeared, but there are already people who remember him with their outstanding performance, Kingsley is one of the most outstanding, this guy has a strong body with a height of 1.98 meters, his neck is almost as thick as his head, he looks like a burly Roshan, with this superman-like body, Kingsley is invincible on the football field, He is the most popular player in the entire rugby league.
"Tell Kingsley that he's going to have to play a little bit worse and give somebody a chance so the whole league will be more exciting."
Li Mu, as the owner of the team, does not want his team to flourish, and now the Autobots are far ahead in the standings, and other teams have no hope of catching up at all.
Yes, according to the 21st century point of view, this is game manipulation, but so what, Li Mu is the organizer of the rugby league, and at the same time he has formed a team to participate in the game, which is equivalent to the horse group is both an athlete and a referee, if the Autobots perform more than a notch, this is not conducive to the growth of the rugby league.
"Ah, Ream, you're like this again" Mason although complaining, but did not object, as the number one driver of the Phantom team, Mason has been accustomed to this kind of dark box operation, in the past two seasons, if it were not for Mason's deliberate release of water, Mason was able to win all the sub-races, his skills are good on the one hand, and the performance of the Phantom car is indeed outstanding on the other hand.
There are several teams, including the Phantom team, that also use Phantom cars as race cars, and the Phantom team has the advantage of having a relatively perfect logistics team that can tune the car to the best performance in a way that no other team has.
"Of course, I invested millions to build a league that wasn't for the sake of the stars, and since Kingsley accepts the rules of the game, you have to understand your value."
Li Mu is a good businessman, and since he is a good businessman, he must insist on maximizing his interests
