Li Mu is an arms dealer and not a philanthropist. Why should Li Mu give a discount to the Ministry of War?
It is said that the Ministry of War now owes more and more money to Steed Weapons Company, which is close to 50 million U.S. dollars, and the annual interest paid for this is close to 10 million U.S. dollars.
The annual interest rate of 20% is quite a lot. In the 21st century, it is estimated that someone will shout "usury", but it is normal in this era. If the annual interest is not paid in time, it will still accumulate the principal. Accumulated interest here is indeed a usury from this point of view.
This is the value of monopoly.
While passing by the Hawaiian Islands, Li Mu and Rockefeller briefly rested on Molokai. Pacific Delegate Commander George Dewey also came to Molokai to meet Li Mu briefly.
As the owner of Molokai, Li Mu held a dinner for Rockefeller and George Dewey at the resort.
"Rim, I haven't settled with you yet. In Luzon, your men have set me up." George Dewey saw Li Mu in a bad mood, and he pleaded guilty when he came up.
"It's just a misunderstanding. After all, you got what you want." Li Muzhuang stupidly tried to get over it.
During the Spanish-American War, according to the agreement of the Far East Company and the Ministry of War, the Far East Company would wait for the Pacific Fleet to prepare before launching an attack on Manila. As a result, Luzon's battle was unexpectedly smooth and the Pacific Fleet arrived at the outer port of Manila. Earlier, mercenaries from the Far East Company and local Luzon rebels surrounded Manila. Fortunately, the results were good. The Governor of Spain in Luzon surrendered to George Dewey, not to the mercenaries of the Far East Company. Otherwise, Spain will have a bad reputation. , The American face is not good-looking.
"I want the officers and men of the Pacific Fleet to be trained in the war. I want the warships of the Pacific Fleet to use this war to complete the break-in. I also want to fully receive the Spanish colonial fleet. Which of these goals did I get?" George Dewey was upset and had to say that Far East's progress disrupted George Dewey's plan.
"Haha, this has nothing to do with our Far East company. You want to train the fleet. It's easy to handle. You shouldn't think that John and I really went to the Far East for vacation." Li Mu didn't care about George Dewey's anger, but he wasn't angry. Otherwise, George Dewey would not take the initiative to meet Li Mu.
"What do you want to do?" George Dewey's eyes lit up immediately, at the same time alert.
Since Li Mu and Rockefeller decided to go on vacation in the Far East, almost all the United States has wanted to know what Li Mu and Rockefeller want to go to the Far East. No one thinks that Li Mu and Rockefeller went to the Far East for vacations. Is the Far East fun? Li Mu has so many private islands around the United States, and the scenery is very good.
Relatively speaking, there are even more concerns about Li Mu. Although Li Mu has joined the U.S. nationality, after all, Li Mu's origin is the Qing Empire. If Li Mu's citizenship is unknown, now Li Mu and Junma Group have everyone. A powerful force that cannot be ignored, Washington is not so much concerned about Li Mu's security as it is plainly worried that Li Mu takes the Steed Group back to the Qing Empire, which is definitely an unacceptable loss for the United States.
Fortunately, there are Rockefeller and Li Mu together, which can give people some peace of mind. Li Mu may return to the Qing empire, but Rockefeller cannot follow Li Mu. This is why the Ministry of War agreed to sell the "Sea Heavy Cavalry" to Li Mu.
"Shell Oil, the Dutch set up Shell Oil." Li Mu was straightforward. George Dewey was not an outsider, but Li Mu's close comrade-in-arms. It was okay to tell George Dewey the truth, even if George Dewey informed Washington of the reason.
Maybe Washington will also provide Li Mu and Rockefeller with all they can do.
"God, you have just provoked the Spaniards, and now you want to provoke the Dutch, are you trying to become a public enemy?" George Dewey was about to collapse. As Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, George Dewey knew the Dutch and British Relationship, George Dewey knows better that the United States does not have the ability to wage another war in the near future.
"Who said we were going to provoke the Dutch? We are going to congratulate Shell Oil on our establishment and send our most sincere blessings." Rockefeller answered coldly, this is the standard weasel giving chickens a New Year's greeting, uncomfortable.
"Come on, John, I just hope you don't send someone to blow up the Dutch oil well." George Dewey didn't believe Rockefeller would be so kind. The name of the rogue tycoon was not given in vain.
"Blow it up! Good idea, it's a good idea, and I decided to do it." Rockefeller was overjoyed, as if inspired by George Dewey.
"God, there is no way to chat with you capitalists." George Dewey, helpless, get rid of the handsome pot and care about it, who is good, who goes out to take a guard of nearly 1,000 people? In East Asia, this can upend a small country.
Thousands of people subvert a country, which sounds funny, but sorry, this is the truth.
The colonies of East Asian countries, in fact, do not have much power, such as those in Britain and France. The so-called colonial armed forces are used to frighten the indigenous people in the colonies. It is really necessary to fight against the mercenaries armed with teeth in the Far East Company. How the Spanish rule in Luzon collapsed.
If it is someone else, tell George Dewey that they are going to subvert a country with a thousand people. George Dewey thinks he has heard a joke. The "other people" here definitely don't include Li Mu and Rockefeller. These two people are famous and bold. Li Mu's presence in South America and the Far East has proven many times that he has this ability, including the land under George Dewey's feet. In fact, strictly speaking, Li Mu was beaten down.
I almost forgot that Rockefeller is not a good person. Panama Company and Far East Company have Rockefeller shares. George Dewey even thinks that the famous Ezo company now has Rockefeller's participation.
"That's because we all have a strong sense of crisis. George, you should know what it means for Standard Oil to set up an oil company in the Netherlands, even if Mr. President is here, even if the United States is not able to wage another war in the short term. We must also attack the Dutch. At the very least, Shell Oil must disappear completely. On this issue, I think you should stand with me and John. "Li Mu was straightforward, but he did not explicitly ask George Dewey to help. .
Help is also necessary. Standard Oil is an American company. Even if the Dutch are no longer innocent, George Dewey has to protect Standard Oil's interests on this issue. Therefore, Shell Oil must die. This has not been discussed.
"Of course I stand on your side, you are taxpayers. Maybe my salary comes from the part where you pay taxes." George Dewey can still be trusted. At the critical moment, George Dewey's choice did not disappoint Li Mu. .
"It's not uncertain, it's for sure, there must be a part of your salary from our tax payment." Rockefeller was very sure of the problem, it was just the proportion.
"So let's say that, we won't trouble Washington, but we don't want to suffer pressure from the United States, this time our enemies are clear, limited to Shell Oil." Rockefeller first painted himself a Circle, outside the circle, George Dewey is responsible for helping.
"If it's just Shell Oil, then you need to plan more carefully." George Dewey went out, and since he couldn't stop it, he would simply join forces.
To deal with Shell, back and forth is nothing more than a few tricks. Buying Shell's internal staff, destroying Shell's oil wells, or destroying the oil fields in the Dutch East Indies. In short, Rockefeller and Li Mu would prefer Dutch to East India. The oil will never be exploited, or all the oil in the Dutch East India will be burned directly. I don't want to see Shell companies jump out and compete with Standard Oil for the market.
In this regard, George Dewey really can't help much. On the contrary, Li Mu and Rockefeller have a lot of talents. After all, in Haiti, Luzon, and even Sakhalin, Li Mu's men are already familiar with this kind of thing.
Rockefeller's staff is not a good thing, otherwise Rockefeller will not be able to set up a giant trust that monopolizes the entire oil industry in just a few years. You must know that Standard Oil originally faced competitors that were comparable to the original Steed Weapons Company. The rivals are much stronger and more numerous.
"George, you don't need your help to operate. What we need is to help us withstand the pressure from the official level. This job is yours." Li Mu has long been ready to get George Deweera on board, Pacific The control area of the fleet covers the entire Pacific Ocean. This area is too large, and the influence of Li Mu and Rockefeller alone is not enough to suppress all the different voices.
"What's the benefit of asking me for help?" George Dewey realized he couldn't get away and tried to sell for a good price.
Sure enough, he is a celebrity, and he refuses to eat at all.
"Have you seen the" Heavy Cavalry "in the port? As long as you kill Shell Oil, I will take the initiative and donate the" Heavy Cavalry "to your Pacific fleet." Li Mu made great profits, anyway, the "Heavy Cavalry" is really Too ugly, ugly makes Li Mu intolerable.
"That's it!" George Dewey said in a word, Li Mu suspected abandoning the "Heavy Cavalry", George Dewey did not dislike it, as Kenneth Tours said, "Heavy Cavalry" was The most advanced armored cruiser in the United States.
As Commander of the Pacific Fleet, George Dewey could not leave the station at will, so when he left Molokai Island, Li Mu and Rockefeller were still traveling.
Continuing west from Molokai, the "Heavy Cavalry" had an additional frigate and an additional supply ship. Li Mu and Rockefeller simply took their families to the supply ship, and were associated with the "Heavy Cavalry". Compared, the supply ship is much more comfortable.
The "Heavy Cavalry" is a standard warship. Such a warship can't wait to use every inch of space on the ship. Even the captain's room is pitifully narrow. The bathroom in Li Mu's house is not as large, from San Francisco to Molokai For a week, Li Mu was enough. It doesn't matter if he is wronged. It ’s not OK if he is wronged.
Well, in fact, Xiao Weil also brought it, but Li Mu always believed that his son's hardship would be good for his son's growth, so even if Xiao Will did, Li Mu didn't feel any distress.
Probably there are often distinguished people such as Li Mu and Rockefeller on the supply ship. The supply ship called "Tennessee Farmhouse" actually has two VIP cabins. The cabin is spacious and luxurious, and it is more luxurious than the Presidential Suite of the Beach Club. Not much difference, which made Li Mu and Rockefeller very satisfied. Although Li Mu and Rockefeller went to the Far East to deal with Shell Oil, they were also on vacation, not to remember the hardships.
Life on the boat quickly pulled the relationship between Li Mu and Rockefeller. Rockefeller's wife was Laura Rockefeller. He and Rockefeller had four daughters and a son, and abandoned their wives after getting rich in the 21st century. Differently, Rockefeller and Laura were married before the establishment of Standard Oil. This was also the only affection of Rockefeller's life. In another spacetime, Laura died in 1915, and Rockefeller did not remarry until Rockefeller died in 1937. Rockefeller was live alone.
Rockefeller didn't bring all the children, only his youngest daughter Elizabeth, who had just turned ten years old, and soon became a close friend of childlike Gloria.
On the monotonous days of the ship, Li Mu and Rockefeller could only use billiards as a pastime. They played English billiards, that is, snooker. Unfortunately, they were not very good at technology. Often, they could play for an hour in a game. To end the battle, Li Mu and Rockefeller also invented a new rule. As long as a person scores 147 points, even if that person wins.
This does not mean that they are very good. Most of the time, the end of the game. Even if they are lucky, the two will not hit ten goals together. Most of the time, the score of the two depends on the foul of the opponent.
Therefore, at the beginning, Gloria and Elizabeth will come to cheer on Li Mu and Rockefeller, but soon, even these two fans did not keep it. Gloria and Elizabeth agreed that they could not watch the match between Li Mu and Rockefeller. This will affect the glorious images of Li Mu and Rockefeller in the hearts of Gloria and Elizabeth.
Well, in fact, it's just excuses, Gloria and Elizabeth just don't want to watch two roosters peck each other.
Due to the existence of the supply ship, the speed of the fleet has not been able to be raised. Thirty days after leaving San Francisco, the "Sea Heavy Cavalry" finally arrived in Luzon Manila.
"Dear Mr. Riem, Mr. Rockefeller, welcome to Luzon." Fernande Gonzalez Jr., President of the new Luzon government, personally greeted Li Mu and Rockefeller, beside him, Vice President Lin Xianghai.
This is the first time Lin Xianghai has met Li Mu.
