Santiago (incorrect, El Ramon should be Santiago) is the second largest city and the second largest seaport in Cuba. It is located on the eastern part of the island of Cuba. More than 80% of the territory is forest and agricultural areas. The mountain area accounts for 63%. A mountain city with its sloping streets is characteristic of Santiago.
Santiago was the birthplace of Cespedes. On October 10, 1868, Cespedes led 147 poorly armed militias to occupy Santiago, declared Cuba's independence, and began the "Ten Years War."
The current territory of the Republic of Cuba is centered on Santiago and Bayamo. This is due to the topography of Cuba. Between Santiago and Bayamo, the highest peak is Mount Maestra, which is two kilometers away. Santiago and Bayamo provide good barriers, regardless of whether the Spaniards attack from land or from sea, the Republic of Cuba can rely on the terrain.
In fact, 60 kilometers east from San Diego is Guantanamo.
The Guantanamo that Li Mu requested from the Republic of Cuba is much larger than the Guantanamo that the United States occupied in another space-time. In another space-time, the Guantanamo that the United States occupied was a harbor with an area of only about 130 square kilometers, and the land area required by Li Mu reached 400 kilometers , Including the entire Guantanamo Bay, is more than three times the size of Guantanamo, another space-time United States.
Here to talk about the terrain of Guantanamo. The terrain of Guantanamo Bay is similar to a gourd. It is divided into two waters, the inside and the outside. The water area inside is much larger than the outside. In the other space-time, the United States equals half a gourd. Li Mu was leaving the entire gourd without leaving any hope for the Cubans.
The San Diego military camp is located on a hillside outside the city. The terrain is complex, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
No one knows what happened in the carriage along the way. Li Mu looked sad and angry when he got out of the car. Benjamin and George Dewey were proud of each other. Although Mahan was slow to the end, his expression was clear and dark.
For the Cuban Republic, Li Mu ’s arrival was a big plus. Seth Pedes had a sense of universal celebration, so the military camp on this day will have a big party, everyone will have a good drink, and a bonfire party is arranged at night. .
The 19th-century military barracks certainly did not say "Joy with the people". Even if everyone has a drink, the officer is with the officer, and the soldier is with the soldier. It is very clear, so Li Mu and they came directly In front of a small building on the second floor, it looks like this is their "canteen".
Cespedes did not arrange Eastern-style banquets because of Li Mu ’s Chinese background. Instead, he used a common long table banquet in the West. Li Mu was the guest of honor behind “the big boss” and Cespedes was the host of the President of the Republic of Cuba. The two are seated facing each other in the middle of the long table, not at the two ends of the long table.
If it really sits on both ends, then Li Mu and Seth Peddes need to communicate if they are having dinner.
Adhering to the tradition of western banquets, the long table is covered with white tablecloths, and a row of decorative flowers is placed in the middle of the long table. It looks very beautiful, and the tableware is silver tableware, which is transparent inside and outside. Forcing the grid, the dishes and everything are exquisite porcelain from the east, which makes Li Mu a little more intimate.
When seated, Li Mu intentionally retaliated, deliberately let Benjamin sit in the middle of the main seat.
Benjamin was naturally unwilling to submit, but did not expect that Cespedes was so inviting, which made Li Mu and George Dewey silent.
In fact, Li Mu really doesn't care about sitting times. Only the guilty and stubborn talents will pay attention to these imaginary things. Even if Seth Pedce took Benjamin to the sky at this time, Seth Peds would understand Without Li Mu's consent, Benjamin could not bring even one cent of aid to the Republic of Cuba.
Li Mu has seen through Cespedes, and it is good not to sit opposite him. Li Mu wants to know a few other people.
When seated, opposite it was Darwin Andrew, Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Cuba.
Just what I want!
When Li Mu sat down, he was in a good mood and ignored the eyes of others.
Darwin Andrew is also very interested in Li Mu. Although there is a kind smile on his face, Li Mu clearly sees a glance from Darwin Andrew's eyes.
There must be something wrong with this guy!
This is the first impression that Darwin Andrew left on Li Mu.
"——In this windy and sunny day, we meet in the beautiful San Diego, and let us warmly welcome our friends from the United States, who are Mr. Benjamin Harrison from the Harrison family-" Cesped Sri Lanka gave a warm welcome.
When he heard his name, Benjamin got up and stroked his chest with one hand and politely bowed. It looked really personable, which also won more warm applause for Benjamin.
In fact, it was not very enthusiastic. After all, there were not many people qualified to sit on the table, but there were many maids around, everyone applauded, and it sounded a little enthusiastic.
"Mr. Riem from Springfield-" Seth Peddes continued.
Li Mu also got up and bowed politely with one hand, but the applause was less.
Li Mu didn't mind it. He sat down and continued to relax. He followed the applause. His eyes have been on Darwin Andrew, Vice President Caspar Hardy, Commander-in-Chief Rayleigh Toynbee, and Supreme Court Justice Ya There were several faces of Sir Robbins.
Without much progress, these people are all old oilers. In the face of a group of strangers, the politeness and scrutiny shown by this group of people are normal, but Li Mu just does n’t feel right, but he ca n’t tell what is wrong, it ’s subconscious. Sixth sense.
After a brief introduction, Benjamin represented Li Mu and they gave a thank you speech. The banquet was officially started.
It must be said that although the situation on the battlefield is not optimistic, the life of Cespedes is still extravagant. Throughout the banquet, the training of these waitresses around the table is amazing. If Li Mu wants, Li Mu wo n’t even You need to do it, just move your mouth.
In order to welcome Li Mu's arrival, Seth Peders also considered a painstaking effort, not only preparing live bands, but also improving the menu, including not only traditional Spanish dishes and Cuban local cuisine, but also a spiced fragrant dish with oriental characteristics. The pigeon is really amazing.
Every dish is served without Li Mu's hands. The maid will take the initiative to divide the meal. If they encounter fish, the maid will even pick out the fishbone carefully. All Li Mu has to do is to put the food in his mouth. There is no need to worry about the other .
Each dish will be toasted with drinks, no matter how much you drink, and a waitress will come over to add wine immediately. The portion is just the same as before you drank.
The band is also well-trained, and the smell is just right. If there is a dish, the sound of the music will be a bit louder. If everyone raises a glass, the sound of the music will be a little smaller immediately. This kind of eyesight is also rare.
After less than half of the meal, Li Mu thoroughly served the quality of the maids and the band. If this group of people were brought back to Springfield, it would definitely make Springfield's gangsters eye-opener.
Uh, compared to the luxury of San Diego, Springfield is indeed similar to the countryside. Li Mu did not enjoy this service in Grant's restaurant.
Of course, from the perspective of the Republic of Cuba, maybe they are also worried about inadequate hospitality, so they are so attentive.
Of course, if this kind of thing is viewed from another angle, it is precisely because Cespedes and their leaders have put their minds in this kind of place that the Cuban Republic will fail on the battlefield.
Really a group of prodigals!
Li Mu feels very absurd, but did not expect that there are even more absurd. As soon as the spiced pigeons finished eating, Li Mu had not put down the knife and fork, and heard the opposite Darwin Andrew asked softly: "Mr. Lim, you It seems that the national debt of the Republic of Cuba was issued in New York, right-- "
National debt!
Of course it does, and it's been sold for more than half.
But what does this have to do with your Republic of Cuba?
Although Li Mu was impatient, his face remained calm: "Yes, fighting with the Spaniards is a long-term process, so we must make long-term preparations--"
After talking halfway, Li Mu suddenly shut up.
Is it necessary to explain?
Even if it is to explain, there is no need to explain it to Darwin Andrew, the President is here with you, the President has not spoken yet.
"I don't know how much Mr. Riem has issued?" Darwin Andrew was not worried, the knife and fork in his hands were still busy.
Darwin Andrew looks like he is about sixty years old. According to the average age of people this year, he is already half of the people who have been in the soil. When he was older, he ate slowly, and chewing slowly was good for health.
"It's a few million, and I don't know how much." Li Mu had a chat with each other, waiting for Darwin Andrew to make a move.
In fact, when Darwin Andrew talked about "national debt", the sound on the dining table suddenly disappeared. The sound of music was a bit louder, and then suddenly dropped, it was almost inaudible.
Everyone cares about money bags.
What unexpectedly exceeded Li Mu's expectations was that Darwin Andrew did not continue, but just "snapped" and then ate, which made Li Mu suddenly feel like a punch on cotton, powerful and useless.
This is the case with the old and sly fellows. They never reveal their feelings easily, and they do not rush to express opinions on something or someone, but once they make a sound, it is likely that the dust is about to settle.
It is clear that Darwin Andrew did not know the details of Li Mu, so Darwin Andrew did not pursue further. Perhaps when Darwin Andrew next approached Li Mu, he would force Li Mu to take out the money.
Pay for it?
How is it possible--
In fact, iron **** are not hairless, but they have no hair at all.
