If you have no desire, you are just talking about Arthur's situation, since you don't care how long you can stay in the position of president, Arthur doesn't have to worry about the possible impeachment of Congress, and even if the impeachment is successful, it is better to have a successful impeachment, anyway, the United States has no vice president, and the president of the Senate, there will not be no successor, but James Bryan's situation is a little embarrassing, with Arthur such an unobtrusive president, James Bryan wants to mix up safely until it is difficult to leave office, in case Arthur does something amazing, James Bryan will inevitably be implicated, This will continue to consume the prestige that James Bryan has accumulated over decades of ups and downs in politics, and it will be more difficult for James Bryan to run for president in the future.
Li Mu doesn't matter, as a vested interest in the political party's fertilizer distribution system, Li Mu doesn't hate the political party's fertilizer distribution system, and is even a little grateful, but if Arthur standardizes the civil service system to end the political party fertilizer system, there is nothing to pity for Li Mu, the current Junma Group, has passed the cautious time, no matter who comes to power, we must take the initiative to safeguard the interests of the Junma Group, people like James Garfield are a special case, with James Garfield's experience, someone will want to target the Junma Group in the future, It is necessary to consider whether it can withstand Li Mu's counterattack.
Vacation should have a vacation look, probably because Arthur doesn't like the weather in Washington very much, and he has a lot of fun in New York, going into the mountains to hunt with Rockefeller today, watching football games with Li Mu tomorrow, and attending banquets of various names almost every night, anyway, there is always no shortage of these in New York.
Relatively speaking, Li Mu's life is relatively simple, and he doesn't even participate in banquets many times, and spends most of his time on Governor's Island to cultivate his self-cultivation, and lives a semi-secluded retirement life in advance.
James Bryan, who found his way to work, was amazingly efficient, and it only took a week to come up with the first draft of the "James Bryan Act".
Like the "Pendleton Act" in another time and space, the "James Bryan Act" is also based on the British civil service system as a reference, combined with the actual situation in the United States to formulate the civil service system, Arthur fully believed in James Bryan's ability, and after getting the "James Bryan Act", he submitted it to Congress for consideration almost word for word.
The result immediately caused an uproar.
Although the members of Congress all know the disadvantages of the political party fat distribution system, and they also know the necessity of standardizing the civil service system, no one expected that Arthur would immediately open fire on the political party fat distribution system after signing a presidential decree that may be infamous for 10,000 years.
There must have been people who noticed Arthur's previous contact with Li Mu, Arthur had just submitted the "James Bryan Act" to Congress, and someone here came to Li Mu, who was also an old acquaintance, Benjamin Harrison.
"Chester is too radical, now is not a good time to regulate the civil service, in a few years it is possible, I still want to promote the standardization of the civil service system in a few years."
Benjamin Harrison regrets that this year Benjamin Harrison entered his second term as a senator, and in a few years, Benjamin Harrison will be eligible to compete for the presidential palace, and he will also be the second president born of the Harrison family.
This is the heritage of the old political family, Benjamin Harrison's personal talent is not good, but with the support of the Harrison family, Benjamin Harrison's politics is higher than the vast majority of people, it can be said that people are born at the finish line, those politicians who are not helped by the family, such as Hayes, and Grover Cleveland, they want to go further, not only need the right time and place, but also need essential luck, and Benjamin Harrison was born with all this, This allows Benjamin Harrison to stay calm no matter what happens.
"Chester didn't want to be president in the first place, and if he didn't find something fun, I'm afraid he would resign voluntarily."
Li Mu is also helpless, that is the president of the United States, how many people can't ask for an opportunity, but Arthur abandoned it, which made Hayes, who was seeking re-election but couldn't, and James Bryan, who had been defeated repeatedly, embarrassed.
In fact, it can also be understood, everyone has a personality, your honey, his arsenic, if Li Mu wants, he can also go to Ryukyu or Japan to be a local emperor, and even Luzon is no problem, but Li Mu also doesn't want to go, being an emperor is more painful than being a president, eating the same bowl of food, sleeping the same two squares, and not providing Li Mu with much pleasure that he can't ask for, Li Mu is very satisfied with his current life, what he wants to eat doesn't have to worry about other people's criticism, where he wants to play, he can go, None of these pleasures can be given by a high authority.
"If I run for the presidency in four years, how likely do you think it is" Benjamin Harrison also has an idea, the Republican Party is now in a state of flux, Benjamin Harrison is indeed very promising, but, I don't know if this is Benjamin Harrison's own meaning, or the meaning of the Harrison family.
There is still a difference between the two, Li Mu believes that Benjamin Harrison must have a professional team behind him, in planning a political career for Benjamin Harrison, it can be said that Benjamin Harrison's every move is originally designed, as long as it is arranged by the professional team, Benjamin Harrison should be very likely to enter the presidential palace, from this point of view, in fact, Benjamin Harrison is also quite sad, he has been designed to have a good life since he was born, there are no waves, and naturally there are no surprises.
"Do you want to run a little earlier after four years?"
Li Mu is really uncertain, another time and space, four years later was elected Grover Cleveland, and four years later, Benjamin Harrison ran for the Republican Party and succeeded, if Benjamin Harrison wanted to run four years in advance, to be honest, Li Mu really thinks that it is unlikely to win the election.
Li Mu is not omnipotent, although the influence of the media on the presidential election has been obvious to all, but in the case of the Republican Party's declining support, the influence of the media has a limit after all, the voters' confidence in the Republican Party is constantly decreasing, after Arthur's four-year term, confidence should decline further, even if Li Mu goes all out, the result is unpredictable.
Of course, having said that, if Benjamin Harrison decides to run, Li Mu will certainly go all out, which has nothing to do with success or failure, only friendship.
"Just to discuss this possibility, I also want to meet the family's expectations of me as soon as possible, and then do what I am willing to do."
Benjamin Harrison also has his own sorrows, he is lucky to be born in a big family, and he does not need to worry about life and future, but along with these innate advantages, there are also those pressures that come with it, which is the relationship between rights and responsibilities.
"Isn't being president something you are willing to do" Li Mu really didn't expect that the job of president was so disgusting, first Arthur, and now Benjamin Harrison, I didn't know that I thought that being president was going to Nevada to build a railroad.
"When the president has something good to do, he has to shoot the sycophants of you vampires, and when he does, he has to listen to the call of you vampires, and if he is not satisfied, his life will be in danger, and I don't know when he will be shot for a ridiculous reason, it's just a job, I can have more choices."
Benjamin Harrison really understands people, he has studied the job of the president thoroughly, and those who don't know think that the president can do whatever he wants, but in fact, the president can do extremely limited, such as the previous Hayes, he couldn't replace the chef in the presidential palace, that was someone else's job.
From Benjamin Harrison's point of view, the president is indeed just a job, just look at Benjamin Harrison's background, in fact, Benjamin Harrison has many choices, as far as Li Mu knows, Benjamin Harrison is an excellent lawyer, graduated from Miami Oxford, he is also a good writer, and he is also quite talented in investment, even if he doesn't do anything, Benjamin Harrison can live a very comfortable life, so it is really not rare for people to go to the presidential palace to gild, that is more the Harrison family's expectations for Benjamin Harrison, Not what Benjamin Harrison wanted.
Even if Benjamin Harrison has every reason to despise the presidential palace, Li Mu still can't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart, this is like a certain TV series that Li Mu watched in another time and space, billions of big fathers, beautiful women around him, and his career is booming, but it is not what the protagonist wants, this kind of thinking, ordinary people really can't understand it.
"Don't say that we are so unbearable, it is those vampires in your mouth that have created the industrial civilization of the United States, if there is no group of us people, you will have to ride a horse from Washington to New York, and maybe you don't even have a saddle, your behavior is to beat the monk after reciting the scriptures, scold the cook after eating, don't let me donate money when you have the ability to run for election, I will admit that I am a vampire in your mouth."
Li Mucai is not the style of letting others scold and not talk back, if you eat someone else's, you have to have a short mouth, and if you take someone else's, you have to be soft, not to mention that Benjamin Harrison is just a senator, even if Benjamin Harrison becomes president, Li Mu will not be polite to Benjamin Harrison.
An obvious fact, don't look at the trust capitalists to scold, but in fact, the construction of a strong country, the participation of these capitalists is absolutely indispensable, another time and space republic is indeed fair when the big pot is eating, but the final result is that everyone has nothing to eat, Li Mu and Rockefeller capitalists have indeed accumulated a huge amount of wealth through their own enterprises, but they themselves are also the makers of wealth, and the accumulated wealth is a legal surplus, not the result of cunning and plundering, Even if there is an element of cunning and plundering in it, it is still a legitimate ingenious robbery.
"Haha, of course I want to ask you to donate, and I want you to donate more, otherwise I'm sorry for the yes votes I have cast for you over the years."
Benjamin Harrison did not have the slightest short-mouthedness, and he was justified in asking for money, as long as the votes related to the Horse Group over the years, Benjamin Harrison voted in favor, which of course has a price.
The relationship between politicians and capitalists is mutual assistance and mutual benefit, the relationship between Benjamin Harrison and Li Mu perfectly illustrates this, the original history of Benjamin Harrison also did this, he was a high-minded nitpicker during his presidency, don't look at Benjamin Harrison is now full of complaints, but one of the most criticized aspects of his tenure is that he obeyed the party tycoons and the industrialists and bankers who had funded the campaign, while ignoring the growing discontent among the peasants and workers, So Benjamin Harrison was only president for one term before he was kicked out of the presidential palace by the resurgent Grover Cleveland.
Of course, all presidents have problems in this regard, but to different degrees, Benjamin Harrison's biggest problem is that he only protects the interests of relevant stakeholders and ignores the welfare of the whole public, if Benjamin Harrison can also take into account the interests of the disadvantaged while safeguarding the interests of the capitalists, then Benjamin Harrison should be better evaluated.
When Benjamin Harrison takes office, Li Mu will definitely remind him at that time.
"No problem, when you run for election, I will cover the expenses you need, you just need to be ready to be president."
Li Mu has a big package, and he will definitely not embarrass Benjamin Harrison when the time comes.
Of course, Li Mu is not alone in Li Mu's pocket, Li Mu refers to the fact that he will be responsible for helping Benjamin Harrison to "fundraise", if the money is not enough at that time, then Li Mu may be able to cover the bottom.
Of course, the possibility of not being enough should be very small, after all, the campaign cost of the presidential election is not high, except for the national tour speech, most of the expenses will be spent on media public opinion, and the largest and most authoritative media in the United States is controlled by Li Mu, so how much money needs to be spent is Li Mu's final say.
"Very good, I remember, I'll ask you for money when the time comes."
Benjamin Harrison immediately made a decision, the cost of the campaign is not high for Li Mu, but it is a lot for the Harrison family, the Harrison family has more resources focused on politics than on the economy, although the Harrison family is not short of money, and Benjamin Harrison himself is not short of money, but compared with Li Mu, Benjamin Harrison is poor, even if Benjamin Harrison has a lot of industries in Cuba.
Well, compared with Li Mu, 99.9 percent of the people in the world should be poor
