145 I can't afford to hide
It seems that George does have ideas about the Horse Weapons Company, Li Mu and his party have not yet arrived on the small peninsula, and they saw two groups of people confronting each other at the gate of the factory from a distance, one of them is dressed as a Springfield policeman, and the other is wearing a black woolen coat, which is obviously the armed guard of the Horse Weapons Company. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Just by looking at the color of the clothing, you can distinguish the identity of the employees of the Horse Weapons Company, the khaki clothing is for ordinary workers, the iron gray clothing is for management, and black is the uniform color of the security department.
On the security personnel's clothing, in addition to the horse pattern on the left chest, there is also a red iris shield logo on the right chest, in front of the shield are two crossed rifles and sabers, and a dragon with teeth and claws surrounds it, full of domineering and violent beauty.
Of course, the image of this dragon is not the big lizard in the traditional sense of the West, but the five-clawed golden dragon in traditional Eastern mythology.
In these years, there is no concept of machine embroidery, and all the embroidery has to be embroidered by hand little by little, so just this one icon, it will cost Li Mu ten dollars, which is still relatively rough Western embroidery, if it is exquisite and delicate Oriental embroidery, it will take more time and money.
Although it is worth a lot of money, Li Mu thinks that everything is worth it, and the money is indeed spent a little more, but it is conducive to improving the self-confidence of the employees of the Horse Weapons Company, and Li Mu believes that this is very important under the premise that most of the employees of the Horse Weapons Company are Chinese.
The Horse Arms Company is now Li Mu's private domain, and it is said that on this private land, Li Mu's men have the right to shoot and kill any stranger who trespasses without notice. However, in the current form, even if they have power, the guards of the factory do not dare to act rashly, after all, they are facing the police in Springfield, which is a violent organ of the state, if they shoot blatantly, it is tantamount to a rebellion, and the guards in Li Mu's factory are also Americans, and they will not fight against the state apparatus for Li Mu now.
Seeing Li Mu and his entourage coming, Bresta quickly caught up with him, and kept muttering, "God bless, you have finally come back safely-"
But when he saw the men, women and children in the carriage, Bresta's expression was solemn again, and it was obvious that the situation was obviously not optimistic if he could force Will and Li Mu to retreat to the factory with their families.
"What's going on?" Li Mu raised his head and gestured with his chin to the policemen at the gate of the factory, and the "black horse" under his crotch did not stop, and walked directly to the factory.
"These people were sent by George, and they said that our factory was not legal, and they demanded that the factory be shut down, and that if it hadn't been for Ryan Matthew sending someone over, they might have been able to get their way—" Bresta was also itching.
Ryan Matthew is the head of the Rifle Association in the Springfield area, and before Li Mu and Will went to Washington to participate in the National Shooting Competition on behalf of the Rifle Association, they asked Ryan Matthew to take care of the factory, and it seems that Ryan Matthew did not break his promise.
At the beginning of the founding of the United States, the political structure of "separation of powers" was established, which is relatively good, even if it is a violent organ of the state, it cannot do whatever it wants.
In fact, the rifle association is also strictly speaking a violent organ, after all, the members of the rifle association in these years are basically the militia of various states, that is, members of the National Guard, when the country is not at war, the militia may be farmers, maybe businessmen, teachers, etc., etc., once the country encounters a war and issues a mobilization order, these militiamen are soldiers who carry guns, and the mobilization speed is very fast.
Will's confidence is here, if it is only against Will, Will basically has little ability to resist when facing George, but if you add the Rifle Association, it is enough to fight against George, and Amis behind George.
Amis also tried his best to dig into the "corners of capitalism" in the United States, and according to the information obtained by Amos Ackerman, in order to cover up his criminal acts, Amis used the Mobile Credit Company to bribe heavily in Congress and weave a tight protective net.
Burnside, as a powerful figure in Washington, must also have some kind of connection with the Mobile Credit Company, and Will is insignificant compared to the Mobile Credit Company, so as long as Will and the Rifle Association pull online, Amis will definitely not offend Burnside because of Will.
You have your plan, and I have my ladder over the wall.
Now George still doesn't know the relationship between Li Mu and Abel, if Li Mu finds Abel to complain, ask Abel to send a telegram to Amis, it is estimated that George will come over in order to have a good relationship with Li Mu, even if he offers chrysanthemums, he has to pinch his nose and admit it.
"Let them get out of here, tell them that the Horse Arms Company is now a cooperative unit of the Ministry of War, and is ordered to produce weapons for the Ministry of War, and if there is a delay in the order of the Ministry of War because of their interference, then all of them, including their police chief, will not be able to eat and go around." In the face of these small miscellaneous fish, Li Mu does not need to be polite, holding the order of the Ministry of War in his hand is equivalent to holding the sword of Shang Fang, as long as he is not blocked by George at home, once he enters the factory, even if George comes, Li Mu is not afraid, Li Mu does not believe that George has the courage to send someone to attack the factory, it is tantamount to opposing the Ministry of War.
During the time Li Mu left, the construction of the factory has been going on, Springfield in January, it was colder than Washington, everywhere was ice and snow, the Connecticut River had entered the dry period, in order to provide enough power for the factory, the steam engine installed in the factory had begun to run, and by the way, it also provided enough heating for the workshop.
The construction of the living area has been completed for the most part, and as a factory owner, Li Mu has his own house in the living area, and the area of the house is quite large, which is about the same as Will's home in Riverside Town.
Li Mu still settled the Yan family and Henry's family first, and then returned to his home.
Like in Will's house, Li Mu still lives in the attic, but this attic is quite spacious, there are no unsightly columns in the attic, and because of the installation of a glass roof, the lighting is very good.
When Li Mu went up to the attic, Chu Xue was helping Li Mu clean up the bed, and when she saw Li Mu coming up, Chu Xue quickly laid out the sheets, and then looked at the exposed iron jar and frowned a little: "This joint still needs to be sealed, or it's not good if it leaks air at night——"
Li Mu's attic is also heated, although the whole house only has a fireplace in the living room on the first floor, but the hot air generated by the fireplace is not directly discharged outside through the chimney, but through the iron pipe that runs through all the rooms to provide heating for all rooms, then the sealing of the iron pipe is very important, although the use of firewood instead of coal, will not produce gas, but still just in case.
Looking at the busy first snow, Li Mu felt very peaceful.
