In mid-October, the Republican National Convention was held in New York.

There were more than 700 people participating in the Republican National Convention. Among them, Li Muneng directly or indirectly affected about 25 votes. They were classified as conservatives in the Republican Party because of their extreme political conservativeness and blockade.

This is really a bit puzzling. Li Mu always thought that he was a reformist, but he did not expect that in the eyes of the world, he was a complete conservative.

No wonder others would think so. After all, the two access systems proposed by Li Mu to James Bryan were passed on, and they became widely known. Such access systems represented the extreme xenophobia of an industry. They No fresh forces are allowed to join, just want to maintain the status quo in the industry, so Li Mu was classified as a conservative and it is not wrong at all.

Conservatives are conservatives. Li Mu does not exclude this title. In fact, there are not a few people who have the same ideas in the Republican Party and Li Mu. Most of them have a successful career and have a certain status. If they can become their spokesperson, then Not bad.

As a Republican representative from Massachusetts, Li Mu participated in the National Congress. The central idea of ​​this convention was to decide the candidate who would represent the Republican Party in the 23rd president of the United States.

After being elected by the Republican National Convention Committee, a total of five people were nominated. Among them, James Blaine was the most popular, followed by Hayes and James Garfield. The other two were purely accompanying. There was no chance of winning, and they were eliminated after the first round of elections.

In the first round of voting, it was James Blaine who won, followed by James Garfield, Hayes received the least votes.

After the first round of voting, there is a week's rest period, and a second round of voting will be held after one week. If someone can get more than 50% of the votes, he can represent the Republican Party in the presidential election.

On the night when the first round of voting ended, Li Mu became the target of three presidential candidates.

"Mr. James Bryan invited you to a dinner party tonight at Clinton Castle ..." Yan Shun took a invitation and reported to Li Mu one by one.

"Yes, but I can't stay too long ..." Li Mu couldn't refuse such an invitation. Many Republicans would gather at Clinton Castle in the evening. In any case, Li Mu would also show up.

"Mr. James Garfield wants to have lunch with you tomorrow ..." Yan Shun read the next.

"No, I'm going to pick up Mr. President tomorrow morning and tell Mr. Garfield that I don't have time tomorrow morning." Li Mu is not quitting, it is really no time to be a avatar.

Li Mu already knows James Garfield's attitude towards the "access system". Like James Bryan, James Garfield is opposed to the "access system", and is targeted at the United States Arms Industry Association, James · Garfield also disagreed. In the first call between James Garfield's assistant and Yan Shun, James Garfield's assistant unexpectedly asked Junma Weapons Company to disband the American Arms Industry Association.

Such a request was deliberately opposed to Li Mu. Li Mu could never agree. The American Arms Industry Association is a loosely organized civil society. It is not an administrative order to dissolve, and James Garfield does not have this right.

In Li Mu's impression, it seems that James Garfield will be successfully elected as president of the United States in four years, but this unlucky guy was assassinated after becoming president, and eventually cheapened the then vice president Arthur.

He was so rude and unruly, and no wonder James Garfield was assassinated.

Now with Li Mu's intervention, it is not known whether James Garfield can be elected as successfully as in history, so there is no need for Li Mu to fool with James Garfield.

"Mr. Rutherford Hayes invited you to dinner tomorrow night ..." Yan Shun made a note on James Garfield's invitation, and then continued reading the next.

"Yes." Li Mu agreed very happy this time. The three were really interesting. The order of inviting Li Mu was based on the order in which he got the votes. At present Hayes has the least number of votes and is the most worthy of Li Mu's investment. Although the winning face looks the smallest, Li Mu is very clear that if nothing else, Hayes will become the 23rd president of the United States.

However, it is not easy to get a promise from Hayes. It is very unfavorable to Li Mu. Hayes is a well-known reformer in the Republican Party. He opposes the operation of the black box, opposes the division of fertilizers, and supports the reform of the civil service system. Out of place.

However, Li Mu is confident to reach an agreement with Hayes. Hayes is perhaps the most comprehensible person in American history. Therefore, in the 1876 election, the largest dispute in the history of the US presidential election broke out.

New York State Governor Samuel Tilden was the first to win 184 electoral votes at the time, while Hays, who was running for the Republican Party, received only 165 electoral votes. At the time, 20 electoral votes were still pending. According to the presidential election system, as long as someone gets 185 electoral votes, he will win the competition.

Even those who were most optimistic about Hayes at the time did not think that Hayes had hope, including Hayes himself, who thought he had lost, because as long as Samuel Tilden won another electoral vote, then Samuel Tilden will become the 23rd president of the United States.

The 20 outstanding votes belong to four states, three of which are southern states, including Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana, with the last state being Oregon in the west.

Southern states have traditionally been Democrats' traditional ballots. As long as Samuel Tilden wins any of the three southern states, the Republicans will lose everything.

At this time, something magical happened. Both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party claimed that their parties had won. To eliminate the dispute, Congress established an election committee to determine the final victory.

The Election Committee consisted of 15 members, of which seven belonged to the Democratic Party, seven belonged to the Republican Party, and the last one was an independent judge with no political tendency at the time.

Feeling that the Democrats who have already won the vote at this time finally made a stun, and elected the independent judge to represent the Democratic senator, which gave the Republican handle. The independent judge was forced to resign and another justice Substitute enters election committee.

Because the Independent Justice does not belong to any party, but he was a member of the Republican Party, the final decision of the Election Committee was that the 20 outstanding voters belonged to the Republican Party, and the Republican Party won by 185 votes to 184 votes.

For this result, the Democrats who are ready to celebrate the victory are absolutely unacceptable. At the time when the Second Civil War almost broke out, they still demonstrated their excellent diplomatic skills and reluctantly persuaded the Democrats to accept this. result.

It can be seen from this point that Hayes is an unusual guy. As long as he can win the final victory, he can make transactions with anyone, and everything can become his bargaining chip. That shouldn't matter.

Although he has decided his own choice, Li Mu ca n’t act too urgently. It is in Li Mu ’s interest to calm Hays appropriately, so Li Mu does not plan to show all his cards as soon as he comes up. How clever, the whole world thinks he lost. As a result, people have a shocking reversal in the last second. Such a victory is worth remembering.

The Clinton Castle that night was full of lights, and all Republicans gathered to celebrate the first ballot smoothly.

As one of the landlords in New York, Li Mu has not appeared in the banquet for a long time, but has become one of the focus of the banquet.

Almost all Republican leaders will talk to Li Mu. This is also a comfort. Today, Li Mu made a wrong bet before the election, but Li Mu represents the future of the Republican Party, and holds in his hands powerful powers that others cannot reach. If you do n’t make friends with such people, what kind of people are worth making good?

Li Mu is mature, humorous, and "knowledgeable". Whether facing conservatives, radicals, or reformers, Li Mu can talk to them with laughter.

Speaking of this knowledge, this is thanks to the 21st century network. People in the 21st century simply cannot understand how poor people have been in the past. Some research shows that in the 21st century, the information a person learns on the Internet every day is probably Before the advent of the Internet, the sum of information that an average person learned within 50 years.

A otaku like Li Mu, the knowledge in his head is almost equivalent to the sum of the knowledge of everyone present, so it is not difficult to understand why Li Mu is so popular.

The key is that Li Mu is not shy about sharing his knowledge. Facing a businessman, Li Mu can talk to him about the assembly line, talk about scientific management, and talk about overall planning.

Facing politicians, Li Mu can talk to him about the art of compromise, about open doors, and about the relationship between politics and economy.

Facing soldiers ...

Well, there are no soldiers in the banquet hall. This is a gathering of Republicans. There can be no soldiers. The US Constitution stipulates that soldiers can have the right to vote, but they must not have political inclination. Soldiers who support Republicans in that way can't brazenly participate in Republican gatherings.

James Bryan seems to feel that he has a winning ticket. In his mind, Li Mu's importance is gradually decreasing. At halfway of the banquet, James Bryan took the initiative to talk to Li Mu.

"Rim, did you make a decision? As long as you abandon your access system, then no matter what you ask, we can sit down and talk slowly." James Brian drank a lot of wine, and his forehead has already panned out Red, but still sober.

"James, you know, the access system is imperative." Li Mu didn't plan to compromise, and looked at James Bryan with a bit of pity.

You are proud now. The harder you are now, the harder you will lose in the future. The greater the so-called hope, the greater the disappointment. That's what it means.

The Republican big men are also bad intentions. The higher they hold James Blaine, the harder James Blaine will fall in the future.

"Well, it seems that we can't reach an agreement ..." James Bryan's face was filled with regret. There was a pleasant cooperation between James Bryan and Li Mu, and the sense of complementarity made James Bryan. · Fresh memories. Originally James Blaine wanted to relive that feeling in this election, but unfortunately, the divergence between James Blaine and Li Mu was too big and had reached an irreconcilable degree, which really made James · Brian is sorry.

"Only in this matter, I believe that in many other aspects, we still have a common language." Li Mu has not much regret and looks more mature than James Bryan.

This is the case in American politics. The winner takes everything and the loser has nothing, but the winner will not kill the loser, and the loser has a chance to make a comeback.

This is the so-called grace of Americans. In their opinion, politics is just a game, so you do n’t need to worry too much about winning or losing, just like Li Mu and James Brian. Although in the matter of "access system", Li Mu and James Brian couldn't agree, but that didn't affect their friendship.

"Hahaha ... you are right, we can also find a common language in other aspects ..." James Bryan didn't get entangled on this issue, and there are other relationships that need to be maintained by James Bryan. James Bryan doesn't May be wasting too much time on Li Mu.

Arthur had originally been looking for someone toast behind James Brian, but this time instead of walking with James Brian, he talked with Li Mu more.

"I'm a little bit regretful now, I think I've made the wrong bet again ..." Arthur frowned, but now that he's betting to leave, it's too late to get off the boat and can only go black.

"Come on, you can think of this as an experience." Although Li Mu and I don't like James Blaine, it doesn't mean that Arthur will gain nothing. The experience during this time will become Arthur's valuable experience. After four years, these experiences will help James Garfield win.

"It can only be this way, who makes me helpless." Arthur's face was full of Xiao Xiao in the rivers and lakes, but at the same time there was hope in his eyes.

"Come on, this is a good opportunity to build up contacts." Li Mu urged softly.

For Arthur, this is indeed a good opportunity to build up a network of contacts. It is also for Li Mu. Only 25 votes are not enough. Li Mu wants more.
