When the water is clear, there is no fish, Zheng Banqiao said that "it is rare to be confused", so "confused" is a kind of realm, many times it is not really confused, but pretending to be confused, sometimes Li Mu also hates himself, when he was young, he was most unaccustomed to all kinds of unfairness, and hated all aspects of unfairness, but unconsciously, Li Mu sometimes lived as he hated the most.
For example, Howard Brentt, the general manager of the Bank of America, arranged dozens of his relatives to work in the Bank of America, even if some of them were completely incompetent for their positions and made repeated mistakes in their work, Howard Brent also made up for it within the scope of his authority, at least there was no loss on the books, so Li Mu turned a blind eye.
Another example is Donald Huggins of Boston Airlines, in a flight test in August, because of Donald Huggins's mistakes, Boston Airlines had an accident, four crew members died, and the direct economic loss was 200,000 US dollars, Donald Huggins paid compensation for the loss out of his own pocket, comforting the grief-stricken pilot's family, Li Mu also did not say anything, this kind of thing is also unavoidable, the emergence of new things will always be accompanied by a price, everyone hopes that their business will not have any accidents, but that is the ideal situation, which cannot exist in reality.
What Li Mu can do is to control the direction of the Junma Group in a big way, and supervise the executives of the Junma Group not to make mistakes like Solomon Lobu, as for other people's feelings and sophistication, as well as occasional mistakes in the work, it is inevitable, Li Mu is strict at the same time, but also gives a certain degree of flexibility, no one can guarantee that he will not make any mistakes, Li Mu himself sometimes makes mistakes, and he can't do what he can't do, so don't force others.
Entering October, according to the habits of previous years, Li Mu either went to the Bahamas for a vacation, or went to Hawaii, this year's situation is more special, because Yan Shun went to the Far East, so Li Mu did not hesitate to choose the Ryukyus, far away, but let Li Mu understand the situation in the Far East for the first time, give Yan Shun the greatest support, which is more important than vacation.
"I just met Leo some time ago, I think you still took a risk, isn't the domestic market enough for you to make money, it's really not good, there is Europe, and Alaska, but you want to go to the Qing Empire, I have to remind you, this may be a good thing, but it is more likely to be a bad thing, the result may be out of your control at all, and it's too late to stop now."
On the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, George Dewey did not approve of Li Mu's decision.
Unlike politicians in Washington, George Dewey understands the Qing country more clearly, a market of 450 million people, or 500 million people, the whole world covets it, the British do not hesitate to start a war in order to open the country to the Qing country, and the French have repeatedly launched wars in Annam, also to seize the bridgehead for the development of the Qing market, Li Mu is now stepping in, it is a blessing or a curse It is difficult to say, George Dewey does not want Li Mu to go to this troubled water.
"It's too late, in the past two years, the focus of the work of the Junma Group has been in the Qing Empire, and I even mobilized mercenaries from the Bahamas, Panama, and Haiti to assemble in the Ryukyus, Leo can succeed best, otherwise, I am also ready to intervene by force, and you must also be prepared, this is not only a commercial act, but also a state act, this does not need me to remind you."
Li Mu also doesn't need to disguise himself in the face of George Dewey, they are all old friends, and Li Mu also needs George Dewey's help.
As long as the war starts, then whether it is the Qing Empire, or Britain, France, and Germany should know that the Junma Group must have won the support of Washington, so it dares to put forward all kinds of unreasonable demands on the Qing Empire, which is forcing the Qing Empire to take the initiative to turn its face, even if the Qing State meets the various requirements of the Junma Group, then next, the Junma Group will also intensify.
Li Mu trusts Bai Qi very much, but in order to give Yan Shun greater help, Li Mu also has to mobilize mercenaries from all over the country to provide support to Yan Shun, these mercenaries may not be disciplined enough, but their personal technical and tactical abilities are very good, if used properly, they can play a decisive role on the battlefield, Li Mu is not worried that Yan Shun is not mature enough, once he will succeed, no one can succeed casually, even if Yan Shun just started to know nothing about strategy and tactics, after a few battles, Yan Shun can slowly find the way, This sounds a bit cruel, but famous generals throughout the ages have needed such a process.
To put it bluntly, Li Mu is to practice Yan Shun with his life, not to mention that it is cruel to do so, war is like this, Li Mu has forced Edison and suppressed Simon Steele before, but it has not reached the level of life and death, war is different, there is no mercy, either you die or I die.
"Within the scope of my authority, of course, I will help as much as I can, but don't expect me to do my best as I did in Luzon, Luzon and Qing are two different things, I will cooperate, but it will not play a decisive role."
George Dewey drew the red line first, it was okay to help, but he would not go into battle shirtless, and Li Mu still needed to settle the matter that Li Mu provoked.
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."
Li Mu will not let George Dewey bend the law for personal gain, even if it is between friends, there is a limit to help, George Dewey is willing to give a promise, don't expect George Dewey to be the same as Rockefeller, and Li Mu wear the same pants.
In the era when there were no airplanes, the distance was a moat, and after drifting on the sea for nearly half a month, Li Mu went ashore in the Ryukyus.
Bai Qi and Pan Tingzhen greeted Li Mu on the dock, and after seeing Li Mu, Pan Tingzhen also pretended to say that because the king of the Ryukyus was in poor health, he could not come to greet Li Mu in person, and asked Li Mu for forgiveness.
"How old is your king, how young is three or four years old, you really have to pay attention."
Li Mucai won't care, a puppet emperor without any real power, Li Mu doesn't want to have any dealings, it's just right not to meet, saving those red tape.
"Six-year-old" Pan Tingzhen was very helpless, and subconsciously rolled her eyes, she is also the master of a country anyway, and she can't be buried like this.
"That's my mistake."
Li Mu has no intention of apologizing, there is no difference between six years old and three years old, anyway, there is no right, a king who is not an adult is happy, don't look at Pan Tingzhen is now respectful to the king, but when he reaches adulthood in the past, maybe Pan Tingzhen will take the initiative to change the emperor as a puppet, and the power of the minister has been for a long time, and he doesn't want the emperor to have many opinions.
"If possible, I really don't want you to come to Ryukyu, or, if we can't go to Shikoku Island, we can go to Vladivostok."
Bai Qi had a little headache, after Yan Shun came to Ryukyu, Bai Qi had already implemented military management over the Ryukyu port, and what could he do after Li Mu came, he couldn't completely close the Ryukyu.
In fact, it doesn't matter, the current Ryukyu has been completely the world of the Chinese, when Bai Qi came to the Ryukyus, there were still many Ryukyu natives in the Ryukyus, these years, Bai Qi continued to immigrate, the Ryukyu natives moved to Japan or Alaska, and even to the United States, unconsciously completed the population replacement, even so Bai Qi is not at ease, although the Pacific Company has carried out a certain degree of preliminary screening when immigrating, but no one can guarantee that some Chinese who have received the ideological education of "Zhongjun" since childhood, Will the national righteousness be put above nationalism?
This should be regarded as a very serious problem, when the founding father rebelled against the Qing government, he clearly put forward the "nation, civil rights, people's livelihood", Li Mu did not want to mention the concept of the nation, and wanted to establish a complete and complete unified China, all of whom are Chinese, and there is no distinction between nationalities at all, which has certain benefits, but to some extent, it will also affect Yan Shun's role in propaganda, some people, should be a large part of the people, they cannot regard the flag people as their own people, this is a contradiction that cannot be reconciled.
The irreconcilability here is also in Li Mu's considerations, but Li Mu does not intend to change his mind, and he can't affect the integration of the nation because of his personal narrowness, Li Mu knows how harmful it is to artificially divide the crowd into different types, so he must not make such a mistake, some people have opinions, then the opinions can be retained, and the purpose cannot be changed.
"Don't worry about Wu Anjun, Ryukyu is also the land of our Chinese, take me to the mercenary barracks."
Li Mu casually ridiculed Bai Qi, there is an oolong here, there are many people who have been named "Wu Anjun" in history, Bai Qi of Qin State was once named "Wu Anjun", and Li Mu of Zhao State was also named "Wu Anjun", in addition to these two people, there are Xiang Yan and Su Qin, all of whom are famous names.
The mercenary camp was actually a temporary camp for the immigrants of the Pacific Company.
The Chinese in the Qing Dynasty are generally malnourished, the personal hygiene situation is also worrying, many people are riddled with diseases, the above conditions, basically not suitable for transoceanic immigration, so the Pacific Company will first concentrate the Chinese who are willing to immigrate in the Ryukyus, one is convenient to supplement nutrition and regulate the body, on the other hand, it is necessary to carry out appropriate language education, under normal circumstances, a Chinese will stay in the camp for more than three months before boarding the immigration ship to the United States, or Alaska, Vladivostok.
In fact, the physical foundation of the Chinese is still good, malnutrition is a later factor, as long as the nutrition can keep up, the body of most Chinese is not much worse than that of whites, as for those Ryukyu natives or Japanese, their average height is not as good as that of the Chinese, and the physical fitness of the Chinese is really opened, which is the end of this century, and there are still decades to come.
Most of the mercenaries in the camp were Japanese, and the price of hiring these Japanese mercenaries was pitiful, with an average of less than one dollar per person per month, and even if they died in the war, Bai Qi only needed to pay a pension of ten dollars.
This treatment is already very good, if these Japanese mercenaries pay their lives for the daimyo or shogun in Japan, then they will not get a penny of pension.
It has been more than three months since the first batch of hires entered the camp, after three months of nutritional supplementation and high-intensity training, the effect is still very good, the weather in October, New York is already icy and snowy, Ryukyu is still warm as spring, these mercenaries are shirtless, at most a strip of cloth is tied to the door of the head, and they are crawling on the training ground, without any complaints, Li Mu even saw an instructor in the corner of the training ground corporal punishment of recruits, the recruits are submissive, without the slightest resistance, the mercenaries around them are silent, some people are emotional, But the targets were not instructors, but recruits who had been subjected to corporal punishment.
The Japanese nation is so strange, they worship the strong and despise the weak, especially in the barracks, if the recruits cannot adapt to the life of the boot camp in a short time, then maybe they will be beaten to death in the toilet one day, not by the instructors, but by the ultra-nationalists among those mercenaries, because these recruits have tarnished their great bloodline.
This reason is indeed.
Li Mu roughly looked at it, on the training ground with an area of less than 500 acres, there were only about 1,000 recruits in training, and the others were nowhere to be seen, which made Li Mu a little puzzled, according to Li Mu's understanding of mercenaries, there should be at least 5,000 people here, or more.
"Our training is carried out in squads, and the training programs are different every day, some people train at the training ground, some people will train outside the camp, there should be squadrons fighting against them, I don't know the specific training items, the instructors of the Far East Company decided on the training program."
Bai Qi is nothing to be embarrassed about, this model was decided by Li Mu, and it is not to blame Bai Qi.
"Everyone, everyone has to undergo at least six months of complete training, and the discipline of Japanese mercenaries is very good, so in the future, these people will be dead soldiers on the battlefield, even if they die, they will die worthily, so you have to control this degree properly."
Li Mu will not pity the Japanese, for Li Mu, it is best for the Japanese to die, Li Mu will never be able to forget the Lushun Massacre, the Nanjing Massacre, the Jiangyin Massacre, as well as Jinshan, Wuxi, Yunlin, Jiangyin, etc., etc., etc., too many, the above is just a massacre of more than 10,000 people, and it has not been fully counted.
"Hehe, don't worry, Reem, even if they die, they will die on the battlefield, not on the training ground, when I hired them, I have already paid off the pension, so they are all dead now, at least they think they are dead, their lives are ours."

Bai Qi will not be a woman's benevolence, over the years, the Japanese who died in Bai Qi's hands have not a million but 800,000, when Li Mu launched a war, sometimes he would feel worried, Bai Qi was completely at ease
