316 must not be forgotten
It's rare to come to Washington, D.C., and you have to run through the docks that should be worshipped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This description is inaccurate, and it should be that the relationship that should be maintained should be maintained in place.
Well, it's really going to the stomach.
Li Mu also has a lot of connections in Washington, Abel needless to say, this is the thickest thigh at this stage, and it must be firmly held, and then there are Runkel and Burnside, these two people have a deep relationship with Li Mu, and it is necessary to have a meal to consolidate it, and Bernap of the War Department, in order to open up this line, Li Mu has spent a lot of money, and now of course he can't favor one over the other.
So in the days before Christmas, Li Mu has been staying in Washington, D.C., and his daily task is to eat with different people.
Don't think that only Chinese people like to use alcohol to connect with feelings, Americans are the same, and Americans are more excessive than Chinese, Li Mu knows many Americans, all of whom have alcoholism, and this situation has continued until the U.S. government can't bear to promulgate the "Prohibition".
It's not bad, Li Mu is strictly not an adult now, so Li Mu drank a little champagne at most, and no one tried to get Li Mu drunk.
On Christmas Eve, Benjamin Harrison arrives in Washington, D.C.
Li Mu went to pick up the station in person, and when he saw Li Mu, Benjamin Harrison's first sentence was to complain: "Why can't you wait until after Christmas, you shouldn't be in such a hurry to harm the Hawaiians." ”
Scourge!
This word is used well, and Li Mu said that he likes it very much.
"I don't want to harm the Hawaiians, I want to harm you, like someone who lost a bet and should go to Manhattan." Li Mu didn't forget this.
"Damn, I can't wait, let's go to Hawaii together, when will we go?" Benjamin Harrison's face changed instantly, and his attitude was as positive as if he was going to compete for the 38th Red Flag Leader.
"Uh-huh!" Li Mu expressed satisfaction and reluctantly let Benjamin Harrison go.
In fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry, anyway, the situation in Hawaii is bad enough, and it is not easy to make it worse, but considering that Li Mu is a Chinese and does not have any special thoughts about Christmas, Li Mu does not mind leaving early.
Of course, it was not only Benjamin Harrison who went to Hawaii with Li Mu, Chu Xue and Yan Shun must have gone with Li Mu, because the "Springfield Security Company" has been established, so Ford Benjamin has been transferred by Li Mu to become the general manager of the "Springfield Security Company", so Ford Benjamin has also become Li Mu's bodyguard leader, and he and Chu Wushuang will be responsible for all armed operations in Hawaii.
Will has already left for Montana, so Gloria and Sandy will also follow Li Mu, who has hired a tutor for them and Chu Xue, and will go to Hawaii together.
Accompanying Li Mu and Benjamin to Hawaii was also an official named Michael Kitt, strictly speaking, Michael Kitt was the chief envoy of Li Mu's envoy group, Benjamin was only the deputy envoy, as for Li Mu, he was a tycoon who went to Hawaii for a vacation, and had nothing to do with politics.
It is indeed a vacation, Washington in December, the snowflakes are as big as a seat, it is as big as a fist is certain, and it is also the fist of Will's block, Li Mu's small arms and legs are not enough to see, there is no greenhouse effect this year, so the winter in North America is extraordinarily long, starting from October every year, North America seems to have entered the ice period, and the snow on the ground is layer after layer, and it will not completely melt until March or April of the following year.
This year's winter was extremely cold, and red lumps appeared on Li Mu's hands, which was a precursor to frostbite, so Li Mu now misses the Hawaiian sunshine immensely.
In the 21st century, Hawaii is a world-famous vacation destination, where there are no four seasons, there is only the rainy season and the dry season of the year, in December, Washington, people should wear as many warm clothes as possible, but in Hawaii, December happens to be the rainy season every year, compared to the dry season, only need to add an extra coat.
Regarding the difference in temperature around the world, it was common knowledge in the twenty-first century, but in the nineteenth century, it was standard side knowledge, which made Li Mu successfully pretend to be forced in front of Gloria and Sandy.
Gloria and Sandy, the two buns, have never traveled far, and the furthest place they have been to Cuba, or in the summer, so Gloria and Sandy don't know the difference between tropical and temperate zones at all.
On Christmas Day, Li Mu and Benjamin took a train to San Francisco, where they had to change passenger ships and then go to Hawaii.
It is indeed beneficial to know more people, Li Mu and they are still taking a special train, this time the special train is paid for by the US government, this is the benefit of privilege, money is a good thing, but if there is only money, it is not enough to enjoy special services.
Compared with a year ago, the speed of the train is still so embarrassing, but this time it is much more comfortable, at least Li Mu and they don't need to go to the platform to grab food with others, there is a dining car with a special train, which can provide Li Mu with hot food, and the cold food on the platform is much better.
For a whole week, Li Mu was discussing with Benjamin and Michael how to pit Hawaiians, Michael is a civilian official in his forties, a director of the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs, this is a standard middle-aged man, there is not much political pursuit, and all the edges and corners have been smoothed out by life, so Michael has no opinions, everything is subject to Li Mu's decision.
Benjamin had some ideas, but he couldn't influence Li Mu's opinion, Li Mu had Benjamin's sore feet in his hands, as long as he mentioned "Guoben", Benjamin immediately had no position.
According to Li Mu's plan, after Michael and Benjamin arrived in Hawaii, they would take the Americans who were responsible for contacting Hawaii as their internal response, and Li Mu would be responsible for contacting the Chinese in Hawaii, and spread rumors among the people at the bottom of Hawaii to incite dissatisfaction with the Hawaiian kingdom, and then find a suitable leader to launch a bottom-up revolution in Hawaii.
As for what happened after the revolution, it was not within Li Mu's responsibility, and Li Mu's work would end there.
In Hawaii in the seventies of the nineteenth century, there was no exclusion of the Chinese, and even in Hawaii, the Chinese were a high race, all of which originated from a Chinese named Chen Guofang.
In the Chinese population, Hawaii is called "Honolulu", this name has an allusion, it is rumored that in the seventies of the eighteenth century, the Chinese came to Hawaii, when the Hawaiian Kingdom had not yet been established, so it can be said that it was the arrival of the Chinese that brought a more advanced way of life to the Hawaiian locals.
Look, this is the difference between the Chinese and the Western colonizers, every time they go to a backward area, the Chinese bring an advanced way of life to the locals, whether it is in Asia or Hawaii, this has been proven time and again, while the Western colonizers arrive in a backward area, they only bring killing and death, such as Panama, in just ten years or so, the native Panamanian people were exterminated.
In the eyes of many "Emperor Han Scholars", this may be a waste of opportunity, but it is also part of Chinese culture, so the Chinese nation has developed from a small piece of land to a huge country covering an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, and the international order established by the Western colonizers using violence will also be destroyed by violence.
It's far away.
When the Chinese arrived in Hawaii, they found that the people here used sandalwood as firewood, and this luxury was simply unforgivable, so the Chinese began to operate "sandalwood" in Hawaii, which is also the origin of "Honolulu".
In the mid-19th century, Chen Guofang came to Hawaii alone, first selling porcelain from the Qing Empire, and later opening a sugar factory, and just a few years later, Chen Guofang became the richest man in Hawaii, and married the king's sister, successfully reaching the peak of his life.
With such a richest man and "horse", the status of Chinese in Hawaii has skyrocketed, and with Chen Guofang's efforts, Chinese people do not need to pay taxes in Hawaii regardless of their occupation, which attracts more Chinese to do business.
In Hawaii in the 21st century, the number of Chinese is not as large as that of the Japanese, but in the 19th century, the Japanese were the lowest ethnic group in Hawaii, and about five years ago, Kamihameha V, who weighed more than O'Neill, first introduced Japanese laborers to Hawaii.
Well, by the way, this Kamihameha V is Chen Guofang's eldest brother.
Perhaps it was precisely because of Chen Guofang's existence that Grant thought of Li Mu at the first time when the situation in Hawaii changed.
Li Mu really wants to make good use of Chen Guofang's relationship, Li Mu actually doesn't know the ending of Chen Guofang in his previous life, but if you consider that Chen Guofang is currently serving as the honorary consul of the Qing Dynasty in Hawaii, then Chen Guofang's ending will not be too good.
Again, under the leadership of a lion, a sheep will become a lion, but if a miscellaneous sheep is led, then the lion will also become a sheep.
Li Mu is the lion in that flock.
Well, I almost forgot, the traditional Chinese culture is not only elegant, but also has a black belly, think about "Thirty-six Strategies", if you don't have a black belly, how can you come up with so many schemes.
Speaking of which, Li Mu's understanding of the traditional Chinese culture is also a scaly claw, if Li Mu can integrate the "Thirty-six Strategies" -
Tsk, the picture is too beautiful to look at.
On January 1, 1874, Li Mu and his entourage arrived in San Francisco.
In San Francisco, Li Mu and his family had to spend two days before taking a ship to Hawaii.
San Francisco is about 3,800 kilometers away from Hawaii, and if they take a ship, it will take Li Mu and his family about nine days to reach Hawaii.
When he came to San Francisco, Li Mu should go to the entrance of the Hongmen Baibai Hall and chat with the leading brother of Hongmen, but unfortunately, according to the information provided by Chu Wushuang, since the violent death of the previous leading brother, the trusted leading brother has not been elected, so Li Mu is not in a hurry.
Of course, it's not that there is nothing to do, Li Mu is a person who holds grudges, in the last San Francisco riot, there were Japanese who acted as the leader of the Labor Knights, and Li Mu did not forget this matter.
