The Chinese have a saying "King and defeat the king", which is about the cruelty of the Chinese political struggle. The United States is more benevolent on this point, and even if it fails in the political struggle, it would not be wrong if it did not commit a wicked error. Being completely stink and stepping on 10,000 feet, as long as I stay in Qingshan, there is always a chance for Dongshan to rise again.

Li Mu did not intend to compare the pros and cons of Eastern and Western regimes. As far as the Civil War was concerned, Li Mu believed that this was an incomplete revolution. Although the Northern Federal Government achieved victory in the war, it did not completely eliminate the remnants of the Southern Alliance. Power, this is not a big problem at present, because the federal government is powerful and the Confederate States are dying, but in the long run, this is not in the interests of the Republican Party. As long as the Democratic Party still exists, the Democratic Party will definitely have the opportunity to turn around. .

In a word: Americans are still too tender in terms of political struggle.

If Simon Steele's challenge to Li Mu is seen as a counter-attack by the Democratic Party against the Republican Party, then Li Mu still has the possibility of arrogance, but if you put it in the whole of the 1880s, you will find that This period is also the critical period for American political parties to move from jerky to mature. What happened during this period has a profound impact on the future political ecology of the United States.

At the end of 1877 and early 1878, the Civil War had passed for twelve years. In these twelve years, both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party deeply recognized the destructiveness of the war. The greatest inspiration that the Civil War left them was that the political dispute must be Proceeding within a certain range of conditions, there is no free freedom, and it is by no means true freedom. Controversy always exists. It is necessary to find consensus in the dispute so that the United States can move forward in hardship.

In December, good news in the Far East frequently spread. First, George Dewey led the dissatisfied Pacific Fleet to completely defeat the Spanish colonial fleet in the waters near Manila, and then the Pacific Fleet cooperated with the Luzon Rebellion to launch an attack on Manila. The war only proceeded. For a week, the Luzon colonial government surrendered internally and externally and was forced to surrender unconditionally. Luzon immediately set up an interim government, and then announced that Luzon was breaking away from Spanish colonial rule and becoming the first independent country in Southeast Asia.

"——General George first issued an ultimatum to the Spanish colonial fleet, and then blocked the port of Manila. The Spaniards persisted for ten days. In order to break through the blockade of the Pacific Fleet, the Spaniards sent 16 warships, including armed merchant ships. ——God, you must not think about how far the Spanish-sent warships lag behind. Two armed merchant ships still use dual power of manpower and sails. Those armed merchant ships are actually equipped with bronze breech. An old antique from the century—the Pacific Fleet sank a warship including the flagship of the Spanish Colonial Fleet. In addition, the Spaniards were stranded by three warships. Only one warship surrendered. The warship was still unable to sail out of Manila Port. Forced to fly a white flag, even General George Dewey couldn't believe that the Spaniards had lost so quickly— "In New York, Charles Benson, Far East's manager, reported to the Far East's board of directors.

It is Christmas Eve on Christmas Eve, and New York has been immersed in the festive atmosphere. It just happened to snow tonight, the white snowflakes enveloped the whole city in a holiness, and it was separated from the Far East Headquarters by a horse. Festival celebrations are going on. Numerous New Yorkers have gone out of their homes in this lucky day and chose to share the gains and joys of this year with more people. Of course, the Far East company is the same. Now is the harvest season. Shareholders want themselves. The investment has a generous return, so they gave up the days of reunion with their family and chose to conduct an inventory at the Far East Company and a group of cold-blooded capitalists.

"So we won the war." J.P. Morgan was investing in a mercenary company for the first time, and he didn't know enough about it.

"Of course, we sent nearly 4,000 people to the Far East, and only 1,500 people actually invested in Luzon, but we received far more than expected because the Ministry of War did not invest in any land, so we have already agreed with Lu The Song government signed a series of contracts. Luzon ’s resources, markets, plantations, and even currency issues are now the responsibility of our Far East Company. We have obtained all mineral resources and plantations in Luzon at approximately free consideration. This part of Spain People have made a certain amount of pre-investment, which means that they can immediately make a profit, and the local market in Luzon is completely open to us. If any disputes between our Far East company and the local government in Luzon are to be borne by us, The court formed by the Far East Company is responsible for the trial. As for the Ministry of War, an observation team they have just passed through Hawaii, at least half a month before they can reach Luzon, and before that, we should have all we want Get it. "Charles Benson was proud of being here, this former US War Army officer Engraved reached the pinnacle of life, his excellent completed his task, the future is bright.

"Okay Mr. Charles, thank you for your efforts, and reunite with your family now. They are waiting for you in the Presidential Suite at the Clinton Castle Hotel. From now until Christmas, all your expenses in New York will be from the Far East Company. Responsible-"For the heroes, Li Mu has always been rewarding.

When Charles Benson left, the room fell into a weird silence for a moment.

In fact, all the tycoons were present. Each of them had a vital energy in their respective fields. However, in the field of mercenaries, they obviously did not have enough experience. They faced the Luzon new government's almost complete refusal. They Not ready enough.

"What's wrong, victory is too simple? Then you underestimate the power of capital. In this world, if there is anything else that capital cannot do, it must be because the scale of investment is not enough. In the future, you It should be used to such a victory. "Li Mu has been used to it, from Cuba to Hawaii to Luzon, the capital has proven its omnipotence.

"Rim, I have always had confidence in you. I am now thinking about how to make Luzon people get used to oil lamps." Rockefeller is good. He has some knowledge of the energy of capital, but he has not yet arrived in Li Mu. This degree.

It ’s a pity that by far Standard Oil ’s biggest source of profit is kerosene for lighting. Although Mobil ’s gasoline sales are also rising, it ’s clear that Luzons ca n’t afford cars, so naturally they do n’t use gasoline. For quite some time, even in the entire East Asia region, the kerosene market was the focus of Rockefeller. As for the oilfields, okay, because of Li Mu's reminder, Rockefeller has no hope of Luzon. The Netherlands is East India or there is, Rockefeller has also sent someone to operate in the Dutch East India, but even if an oil field is found, Rockefeller is not ready to develop it, and it regards it as a standard oil field reserve.

It ’s weird, as the standard oil of the giant petroleum industry, but you do n’t want to discover too many oil fields. This is well understood. At present, cars are just toys for the rich. Ordinary people ca n’t afford cars, and there is no demand for them. The total amount of the kerosene market is constant. Rockefeller does not want to discover too many oil fields, which will certainly affect the interests of Standard Oil. Even if there is only one oil company, too many oil fields will definitely cause the price of petroleum products to drop. Just as farmers in the economic crisis would rather pour unsold milk into the river rather than sell it at a reduced price, merchants are not philanthropists. If there is no interest, they have no reason or obligation to be responsible for humanitarianism.

"Does this mean that our business development team can start now?" Andrew Carnegie can't wait. Steel is a necessity for human life at all times. Andrew Carnegie hopes to sell the product all over. The world, not to mention Luzon has abundant iron and copper ore, which are the goals of Andrew Carnegie.

"We need to get more profits before the War Department. I can't wait for my friends. Let's start a great adventure." Henry DuPont was not satisfied with the current achievements, and one Luzon could not satisfy Henry · DuPont's appetite, Henry DuPont believes: It is best that the entire Asia is a colony of the United States.

"Rim, is it possible for Luzon's model to be replicated in other regions?" J.P. Morgan was also not satisfied. The Far East Company only paid a few million dollars of investment and gained a huge market of nearly 10 million people. This is almost a quarter of the US market. Although the consumption level of Luzon people must not be compared with Americans, the concept of consumption can be cultivated. This business is very cost-effective and the payback period is as long as dozens of Years and even hundreds of years, it's cost-effective.

"Everyone, I don't think it's okay now." This issue is not just J.P. Morgan's concern, but other shareholders are also concerned. After all, everyone cares about their own interests. Everyone hopes to replicate the success model, which means a lot of dollars. Rolling in, who has enmity with money: "——Declaring war on the Spaniards is a special product under special conditions. Spain has fallen and they are unable to protect their colonies. Even if we do n’t take action, there will be other countries as well. Declaring war on Spain, we got the biggest gains because we were ahead of everyone-now looking at the Far East, French Indochina, Dutch East India, and then British Malaysia, where the Dutch are the weakest , But the Dutch found the British as the backing, so in a short period of time, we are unlikely to copy Luzon's situation to other regions. "

It ’s not that Li Mu does n’t want it. It ’s really impossible. The United States declared war on the Spanish because Spain is the weakest country among the powers. Others, such as Britain and France, are not what the United States can watch now, so the war must be limited to a certain range. This is not determined by Li Mu, but it is the current international environment. Li Mu can make waves in the United States, but it is impossible to go abroad to subvert the British and French-dominated colonial order. This kind of thing requires dozens of countries to do. Year ahead of schedule.

Stepping back 10,000 steps, the United States declared war on Spain partly because the United States urgently needed to make its own voice and strive for an international status consistent with national strength. On the other hand, it was also necessary to test the attitude of Britain and France to the expansion of the United States. The colonization of the Far East was strongly opposed by the British and the French. Then the United States must also carefully consider again and again and give up the victory it won't pay for. It would be better to accept it, at least to replace the Spanish. International status is something that both the British and the French enjoy.

"We have achieved great success, everyone-" Rockefeller is firmly on the same front as Li Mu this time. He has already communicated with Li Mu on the Dutch East India oil field. At this stage, Rockefeller still needs Li Mu's cooperation. In order to obtain the greatest benefits in East Asia: "Luzon itself is a large market with a population of nearly 10 million. This is a huge market. Think about it. If each of them needs our products, then this It will be catastrophic good news, not to mention, there is still a larger market in the Far East waiting for us to explore, but before that, we must first prepare. "

As far as the Far East is concerned, Luzon's market is not large. Even in Southeast Asia, Luzon's population is not as good as the Dutch East India and French Indochina, let alone the Qing Dynasty and Japan in East Asia. India, which is the British imprisonment, unless it is completely torn apart from the British, India's market will always have nothing to do with the United States.

"Okay everyone, let's all be a little clearer. Now that Luzon has set up a new government and expelled the Spaniards, then the new Luzon government needs a new force to take over the legacy left by the Spaniards. I'm ready as soon as possible Send someone to the Far East, if you like, we can form a study tour and fully understand Luzon's information, so that we can live the best interests. "Li Mu reminded all shareholders who want to join the non-Norway, now it is only a new stage of victory , Has not yet reached the level of complete victory, if you want to carnival, then do a more solid job.

At the end of the "Spoiler Assembly", Li Mu returned to the Governor's Island. On such a happy day, he still had to stay with his family.

From the Battery Park, you have seen a strong festive atmosphere. Li Mu has always wanted to incorporate more oriental elements in American festivals, so do n’t look at Christmas Eve and the Chinese have nothing to do, but bright red lanterns are still everywhere, even the battery. There are also lion dances and dragon dances at the entrance of the park, which has attracted many New Yorkers to watch. Li Mu believes that as long as this persists for decades, these red lanterns and lion dances will also become part of Christmas.

Tradition is actually habit, just get used to it.
