This time, no navy warship can take a ride, and Li Mu returned to the United States on the Pacific Company’s “Springfield” immigration ship.
The “Springfield” immigration ship is the largest immigration ship in the world. It is produced by the New York Naval Shipyard. It has a displacement of 8,500 tons and can transport 1,900 immigrants. The only disadvantage is that it is slower. It takes almost four times from San Francisco, Ryukyu Island. Ten days.
As the owner of the Pacific company, the Li Mu family deserves to occupy the only luxury suite on the ship, with a total area of more than 8,000 square feet, six bedrooms, a separate swimming pool, and the first half of the entire five-story deck. .
“It’s hard to imagine why there are such luxurious suites on the immigration boat. I thought it was all double-decker single beds.” This was the first time Gloria took the immigration boat. I never knew that the immigration boat actually returned. There are presidential suites.
This is not surprising. If it is an ordinary immigration ship, there will definitely not be luxury suites. After all, immigration ships must use every inch of space as much as possible. Due to technical limitations, previous immigrant ships did not have the conditions to prepare luxury suites.
The “Chuntian” is not the same. Strictly speaking, the “Chuntian” is not a simple immigration ship. It is more suitable to use a cruise to describe it. There are often high-end people who take the “Chuntian” to travel between Qing Dynasty and the United States. The United States is fine. Point, the officials of the Qing Dynasty will certainly not be crowded into the third-class cabins with ordinary people. In imperial countries, there must be some deputies.
Taking into account the specific circumstances of the Qing Dynasty, the luxury suite on the “Springfield” can not be described as a presidential suite, otherwise those Qing Dynasty officials would definitely not dare to move in. The imperial country’s most taboo is to exceed the rule. The president is equivalent to the Qing emperor and lives in What do you want to do in the house where the emperor can live?
“If you want to see the bunk beds go to the third class, believe me, you won’t like it there.” The third class is at the bottom of the guest room. Strictly speaking, it is already below the sea level, so if an accident occurs, the third class Basically no one was able to escape successfully. Imagine the harsh environment there.
“You just told Li not to disturb you. What if there is something in the United States or the Far East?” Gloria was a bit uneasy. Li Mu’s stall was too large. It seemed like a lot of flowers. In fact, there were many problems. Generally, Li Mu didn’t have to deal with it. If the situation where Li Mu needs to deal with it personally is basically irreversible, the greatest convenience brought by radio is that people can also work at sea. Gloria believes that Li Mu can’t be lazy now.
“It’s okay, if the trouble is too difficult to handle, Li will tell me, but I don’t think any trouble will reach this level now, so relax, let’s take a vacation, don’t make it so heavy.” Yan Shun After going to Ryukyu, Mason stayed in Vladivostok, Li Mu was left with only a stinky Li Jiefu, but this will not affect the operation of the job. Li Jiefu also has a complete secretarial team with more than 30 members. fast.
The entire five-story front deck is now occupied by the Li Mu family. This is the private space of the Li Mu family. The special structure can ensure that no one can affect the life of the Li Mu family. Now “Springfield” has left Ryukyu. The speed of the ship has been increased to about ten knots, and a US Navy warship is escorting not far from the side. There is no need to worry about safety issues, so Li Mu is now very relaxed.
Li Mu is very relaxed, and some people will be very heavy. Secretary of State James Bryan in the Presidential Palace in Washington is a bit stumped.
“The report of the Third Army Division was very detailed. Riem called in the mercenaries of the Far East Company to launch an offensive against the border troops of the northern part of Qing Dynasty. Within half a month, the mercenaries of the Far East company attacked seven of the Qing Dynasty border forces. At the post, in the report of the Third Division, the attack by mercenaries caused the death of nearly 300 Qing soldiers, but in the official letter of the Qing government, nearly 1,000 Qing soldiers were killed in battle and mercenaries We also snatched the weapons and belongings of the Qing soldiers. Some of the more backward weapons were worthless. The mercenaries did not want to take them away and simply destroyed them. The Qing government asked us to compensate for a total of 150,000 silver. The British government and The French government also requires us to exercise restraint and ask us to explain the behavior of Far Eastern companies. Their attitude is clear. Qing Dynasty should be an open Qing country. The pace of all European countries should be harmonious and unified, and they should jointly develop the Qing Dynasty market, regardless of the allies’ Alone behavior will not be recognized, and now the British Minister is in my office, how can I explain? “James Blaine Li Mu Road to the Far East will toss out something, but I did not expect, Li Mu could be so much can be frustrating, and the Qing Empire, compared Horse Group is undoubtedly small, so James Blaine of Li Mu uncertain purpose.
Although there may be disputes between the United Kingdom and the United States at some times, the United Kingdom and the United States are basically relatively unified on the issue of the Qing Empire. The United Kingdom opened the country’s door through the Opium War, and the United States also successfully obtained The various conveniences that Britain gained through the war in the Qing Dynasty, and now it is time to share its interests, of course Britain will not allow the United States to act alone.
“Whatever you want to explain, you can explain it. You know, the Far East Company is a private company, and the British know it, so the behavior of the Far East Company is just a personal act, not even a national act. This does not require us. Explain that if the Qing Empire could n’t even deal with a private company, they should be out of luck. ”Arthur must support Li Mu on this issue, and Arthur also has shares in the Far East Company, so this is Li Mu helping Arthur to make money. What else could Arthur do?
This is the crux of the problem. Normally, companies must not be able to compete with the country, but the Far East company is not an ordinary company. At the time, the Spanish did not think that the Far East company could subvert Luzon. As a result, the Spaniards suffered a big loss in Luzon. Now, is it the Qing Empire’s turn, will the Qing Empire perform better than Spain?
Don’t make a joke, let’s not talk about the comparison of the national strength of Spain and the Qing Empire. Even if Spain is now sunset, in the eyes of the British and Americans, Spain is still stronger than the Qing Empire.
Then the question arises: “Strong” Spain cannot resist the attacks of Far Eastern company mercenaries. Can the “weak” Qing empire carry the Far Eastern company mercenaries?
It looks like it should not be able to carry it, but think about the vast territory of the empire, and think about the population of the empire. This problem is not so simple. So what is the problem?
“This answer won’t satisfy the British.” James Bryan was very depressed. Arthur made it clear that Li Mu’s behavior was out of control. The British were aggressive. The Qing ambassador was still rolling and rolling. For a moment, James · Brian is very impulsive, you are all uncles, I will not do it!
“The US government never needs to satisfy other governments. What we want is to satisfy the American people. What the British think is not in our consideration. If the British worry that the actions of the Far East Company will harm the interests of Britain, then Let the British talk to the Far East Company. We ca n’t make any promises. Even if it does n’t make any sense, do you think Rim will spit out the meat eaten in his mouth? Then he is not Rim. ”Arthur He really knows Li Mu. Li Mu is the kind of person who ignores three points and is unreasonable. The Qing government also wanted to compensate the Far East company. That is because the Qing government did not deal with the Far East company. If the Qing government knew Spanish In the end, then the Qing government might take the initiative to send money to buy something for convenience, maybe Li Mu would raise his expensive hand.
Of course, it is more likely that it will not. Arthur did not know Li Mu on the first day. He knew how much Li Mu hated the Qing Empire. The last country that Li Mu hated so much was Japan. Look at Japan’s end.
“If Lim does n’t converge, it may trigger a war. I do n’t think that if a war breaks out in the Far East, we in the United States have the possibility of staying aloof. Lim is too selfish. He tied the entire United States to his chariot. We will pay for his selfish behavior, wait and see, tomorrow I do n’t know how Congress tossed. ”James Bryan did n’t want to go back to the office to face the British, let alone go home. At the door of James Brian’s house.
“Probably not. Since the Far East Company has started, then Rimm must have a way to be recognized by Congress. This is not something we should worry about.” Arthur was not worried about Congress. Li Mu did a lot of work in Washington before going to the Far East. Rockefeller The gang and J.P. Morgan are also shaking their flags. Politicians in Congress will not reject this tycoon and dare not refuse it. Although Arthur is unwilling to admit it, the capitalists have more advantages than the president in the project of “persuading Congress”. Great means.
It is difficult to admit this. The nominal president is the most powerful person in the United States. In fact, only the feet are incompatible with the shoes. Once Arthur was also envious of the presidency, but when he became president, he knew how hard the president ’s job was. For example, this time Li Mu provoked the flames of war in the Far East and changed his individual—
Well, this ability is not available for another person. As long as it is someone who can wage war, the president must be careful.
“I hope so, I have enough to be a nanny.” James Blaine regretted it. After the assassination of James Garfield, James Blaine wanted to resign, but failed to resist the James Blaine Act. “The temptation of”, this time James Bryan is heartfelt, as long as the “Brian Bryan Act” is passed, then James Bryan will resign immediately, no matter how Arthur persuades, even if Arthur engages in concession, James Brian is about to jump out of this fire pit.
“Be patient for a few more days. Riem is already at sea. You can ask Riem to explain it to you.” Arthur knew that James Brian was very depressed, but Arthur couldn’t help it. Road, Arthur did not want to see the dead face of the British.
“I know Mr. President, you and Riem are friends. What exactly does Riem want to do? Do you really want to wage war against the Qing Empire? That’s a country with hundreds of millions of people. We have to stop Rimm’s selfish behavior, whether it comes from International influence considerations are still based on domestic economic considerations. Steed Group— “James Blaine is indeed very worried. Now in the United States, Steed Group has surpassed Standard Oil to become the most powerful consortium in the United States. Li Mu waged war against the Qing Empire. It will definitely affect the Steed Group, and the seriousness will even affect the US economy, which gives James Bryan a reason not to let go.
It sounds a little weird. A company actually affects a country, and it is also a country like the United States whose GDP has risen to the top in the world.
In fact, it ’s normal. Think about what Ali means to the Republic in the 21st century, and you can understand the current position of the Junma Group in the US economy. Simply put, if the war affects the operation of the Junma Group, 100,000 workers will be directly affected, and then all companies in the entire industry chain of the Junma Group will be affected. This consequence is unbearable for the American economy.
What’s more serious is precisely because the U.S. economy can’t withstand the impact of Junma Group, the US government must find ways to provide protection to Junma Group. This may be a huge bottomless pit. To the extent that basically part of the US economy has been abducted, James Blaine can’t help but consider these effects.
“Relax James, Steed Group is the hard work of Rem. Rem will not let Steed Group be affected. Even if the Far East Company suffers a failure, only the Far East Company will be affected. This is not the same thing as Steed Group.” Arthur knows Steed The relationship between the Group and the Far East Company, said that the Far East Company is a gun in the hands of Li Mu. As long as Li Mu does not point his gun at himself, the Steed Group will not be affected.
Even if it is, it is within the range acceptable to Li Mu and the US government.
The acceptable loss of Li Mu is indeed limited to the Far East Company. Junma Group is Li Mu ’s business and a backer of Chinese Americans. No matter what the circumstances, Li Mu will not allow Junma Group to be affected. This is between cost and investment. As long as the Steed Group is present, even if all the mercenaries of the Far East Company die, Li Mu can change hands and build another Far East Company.
“I hope so. I want to remind you that the importance of Junma Group to the United States is far more important than you think. Standard Oil is the overlord of the oil industry and is limited to the oil industry. There are too many industries that Junma Group is involved in. Too many people live on the Steed Group, that is, Riem is not eligible to run in the presidential election, otherwise no one can choose him. “James Bryan knew that Li Mu was dangerous, but he did not dare to turn his face with Li Mu. Many people did not see this. Used to Li Mu, but helpless to Li Mu.
