A long period of weakness and poverty had caused the Qing Empire to lose its original deterrent power in East Asia.

Once upon a time, the prestige of the Central Plains Dynasty spread far and wide, and no one dared to beat its edge, since the Han Dynasty, there has been a shocking saying that "those who offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away".

The emergence of the Qing Empire completely changed all this, and the Chinese became the "sick men of East Asia" under the rule of the Qing Empire.

So the current Chinese really have no deterrent power in front of the Japanese, even if Bai Qi is a genuine American, because his skin color can't have enough deterrent power in front of the Japanese, so it's best to let Hunter, a pure white man, come forward, and in the face of the Japanese, Hunter's advantage is not only reflected in physique, but also in psychology.

Hunter is not an American officer, he was originally just a homeless down-and-out gunman, and by chance he became an employee of the Horse Group, and his long-term market influence has made Hunter accustomed to playing the villain, and he doesn't even need to play, he only needs to play the role of a bully in his true colors.

Hunter in front of Xiao Shanwang is indeed an out-and-out bully, although Xiao Shanwang tried his best to explain and strive to gain Henry's understanding, Henry was still thunderous, strode in front of Xiao Shanwang, kicked Xiaoshan Wang to the ground, untied the belt around his waist, and pulled it over without a head or face.

"You yellow-skinned pig, didn't your mother teach you manners? I'll teach you a lesson right now on behalf of your mother, so that you can learn to be humble and cautious..."Hunter scolded as he snorted, ignoring the increasingly ugly face of Ichiro Miyagi next to him.

Bai Qi's calculation is still very accurate, although Ichiro Miyagi's face is getting more and more ugly, but he doesn't have the courage to tear his face with Hunter at all.

The position of the Americans in Japan is very special, not only because it was the Americans who opened the door to Japan through the "Black Ship Incident", but also because of the relevant treaties between the United States and the Ryukyus.

In fact, this incident should be regarded as a historical legacy, and at the same time, it is also a sad thing about the weakness of the Ryukyus national strength.

The Ryukyuan people were powerless to resist in the face of Japanese aggression, and they were also responsive to the Americans.

In 1853, Rear Admiral Perry, who was responsible for the Black Ship Incident, first arrived in the Ryukyus, and the following year, in the process of signing the Treaty of Kobe Nagawa with the Japanese, Perry demanded that Japan open the port of Naha in the Ryukyus to the United States.

At that time, Japan rejected Perry's request on the grounds that the Ryukyus were a sovereign state and had no right to make decisions on behalf of the Ryukyus.

On July 11 of that year, Perry and the Ryukyu government signed the Treaty of Reconciliation between the Ryukyus and the United States, which stipulated that the Ryukyus would open the port of Naha to the United States in both Chinese and English.

At the time, it seemed that the United States forced the Ryukyus to sign the Treaty of Reconciliation, but today it may become a talisman for the Ryukyus.

If the Ryukyuan people had been smarter, this treaty would have legally reversed the Japanese annexation of the Ryukyus, so before Okada and his wife left for the Ryukyus, the Japanese government repeatedly ordered Okada not to clash with the Americans under any circumstances.

So in the face of the angry Hunter, although Ichiro Miyagi was dissatisfied, he could only dare to be angry but not speak.

"Sir, I didn't mean to, I beg your pardon..." Xiao Shanwang lay on the ground with his head in his hands and wailed, he didn't even dare to hide, he could only pray that Hunter could vent his anger as soon as possible.

"Bastard, you shameless stupid pig...", Hunter seemed to be endless, snorting and scolding, very energetic.

"Sir, I beg your pardon, he didn't mean it, it was just an unintentional mistake..."Ichiro Miyagi was careful to make amends next to him.

"Unintentionally... Are you kidding me? Hunter was unrelenting and looked like he was showing signs of switching targets.

"I beg your pardon, it was just an accident..."Ichiro Miyagi retreated again and again, circling around the tent and Hunter.

"Sponsor, why don't you stop me and let me beat you up..."Hunter didn't give up, and chased after him with his belt.

It's a fool to lie on the ground honestly and let others beat him, Miyagi Ichiro saw that Hunter was chasing more and more closely, so he simply ran away with his legs and ran away in the direction of Shuri with a smoke.

Well, as long as the solution is the right way, it's so simple, don't look at the three Hunters tied together, they can't beat Bai Qi, but if Bai Qi comes forward in person and wants to solve the problem, it really doesn't have to be as simple as Hunt.

"Boy, don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you once I see you!" Hunt didn't say anything after beating people, but also put down cruel words, which is a posture to officially include Putian in his own reserve.

In fact, when Hunter was looking for fault, Bai Qi and Pan Tingzhen were mixed in the middle of the American gunners, and seeing that Bai Qi actually solved the crisis in front of him in such an almost scoundrel way, Pan Tingzhen really felt a little crying and laughing, and at the same time had to respect Bai Qi.

Forget about black cats and white cats, if you can catch mice, you are a good cat.

Watching Hunter drag away the little mountain wang who was still wailing on the ground like dragging a little chick, Bai Qi couldn't help laughing: "How is it, is it simple?" You don't need to shoot a single bullet to make little Japan fart and..."

Before Pan Tingzhen could speak, Yang Wei's sycophants suddenly rolled in: "Bai Ye is wise..."

It is indeed wise, Henry made such a fuss, Okada did not dare to send people over at all, but through the Japanese ambassador to the United States, he protested to the US government.

"Protest! Just for this little thing... My dear Alan, are you too idle, or am I too idle? Li Mu's first reaction when he heard this was to put on a stinky face for Arthur first.

It was not easy for the Japanese to lodge a protest with the US government, so they had to send someone from Japan to San Francisco, and then send a telegram from San Francisco to Washington, which was already the end of March.

Washington didn't know what was going on, and after questioning the Japanese ambassador to the United States, he learned that it was the Shoma group that had clashed with the Japanese in the Ryukyus, so the lawsuit went to Arthur.

Arthur has been very busy recently, and the Centennial Exhibition of Independence will be held in New York in May, so Arthur doesn't have the heart to care about this kind of, but to be a monk for a day is to hit the clock for a day, since Washington sent a telegram to Arthur, Arthur always has to do a routine, so there is a trip to Arthur's Governor's Island.

"You think I want to care? If Hamilton hadn't sent me a telegram himself, I wouldn't have had time to come to you. Arthur sat at Li Mu's desk, the tie had long been thrown away, the top three buttons of the shirt had all been unbuttoned, revealing the thick chest hair on his chest, and he also put his legs on Li Mu's desk, this posture really did not take Li Mu as an outsider.

In fact, Li Mu didn't think this posture was disrespectful, but others couldn't get used to it, you see that Arthur has been here for so long, and Chu Xue didn't even have a cup of tea, which fully explains the relationship between Li Mu and Arthur.

"So what do you want me to do? Going to Japan to plead guilty in front of the emperor? Don't say if this is related to my people, if there is, then we must first investigate the facts, come to a conclusion, and then decide what we should do. "Li Mucai is not in a hurry, now he just needs to delay the pace of Japan's annexation of the Ryukyus, as for the relationship between the Junma Group and Japan...

Let him go, don't say that he is guilty of asking for guilt, even if Li Mu commits suicide by caesarean section, with the cautious urine of the Japanese, it is estimated that the relationship between the Junma Group and the Japanese will not be better, so forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Li Mu does not mind fighting a lawsuit with the Japanese for two or three years.

"Huh... Survey! How do you want to investigate? Organize a joint investigation team? When the results are known, I am afraid that Mr. Hamilton will also retire. "Arthur won't care about this, he came to Li Mu and has other things, this matter is just a reason.

Hamilton's full name is Hamilton Fish, is the current Secretary of State of the United States, since he took office in 1869, this year is the eighth year, and after the presidential election at the end of the year, Hamilton Fish will also take a back seat with Ulysses Grant, so for now, Hamilton Fish's telegram is indeed a deterrent, but it is not much of a deterrent.

"It depends on what the Japanese want, and if they want to form a joint investigation team, then I have no problem with that." Li Mu pursed his lips and took the initiative to get up and pour Arthur a glass of brandy.

"Haha, look at it, I've been here for so long, and you, the chairman of the Junma Group, poured me wine, which shows how lax the management of your Junma Group is." Arthur is still unforgiving, and he always loses a few words to Li Mu when he seizes the opportunity.

"It's you who don't want to be welcomed, so don't blame others for snubbing you." Li Mucai won't blame Chu Xue.

"Tell me about business, how are you preparing? Are you sure you will recoup your costs? The last time you raced the American Rally, you made a lot of money, and the council and the city government were waiting for cash to place orders, so you just had a snack, and the money you made in the end was yours anyway. "What Arthur said is very pitiful, the city government and the council have become called Hanako in Arthur's mouth.

The report of Bresta has been submitted, and Arthur's side really didn't even fight a bite, and it was submitted to the parliament on the day he received the report...

The city government did not reject the application, but at the same time, it also submitted a plan for the purchase of cars by the city government, which swelled the original 400 cars to 1,000 in one fell swoop, and eventually led to a threefold increase in the total size of the order.

If the city government wants to use cars, it is certainly not possible for all of them to be the public version, there must always be some luxury versions, so although the total number of vehicles has only increased by 150%, the total amount has increased by 200%.

Don't think it's over here, by the time the New York Council examined the application, 1,000 cars had quietly turned into 1,200, and the extra 200 belonged to the council.

When the New York City Council passed the application, the total amount of the order had reached $13 million, and the New York City government couldn't come up with so much money, so now it is equivalent to the whole of New York waiting for the Independence Centennial Exhibition for a blood transfusion, if the New York City Government can't make a big profit through the Independence Centennial Exhibition, it will definitely disappoint many people.

With Zhuyu of the New York Station of the National Automobile Rally in front, it seems that it is not difficult to make money through large-scale activities, but not everyone has this ability, Arthur still puts his hope on Li Mu, if Li Mu can stand up, then Arthur believes that not to mention 13 million, even if it is 31 million, it is not completely impossible.

"The souvenirs have been prepared, the main exhibition hall has been completed, the exhibition hall has been divided, the exhibitors are entering, the branch halls are basically all completed, and the pavilions of various countries have been completed a year ago, so don't worry, we are ready now, we only owe the east wind, you just wait to count the money." Li Mu is still relatively confident, even if the Independent Centennial Exhibition can't make money, Li Mu will help the New York City Government get the money.

In fact, it is very easy to make money, especially for institutions like the New York City Government, there are many banks willing to lend to the New York City Government, so the New York City Government will be in debt for more than 100 million yuan early.

Li Mu really wants to continue to taste what it is like to be a creditor of the New York City government, so if this Independence Centennial Exhibition can't make money, Li Mu plans to help the New York City government with a loan through the Bank of America.

"That's what I said, but I always feel unsure." Arthur's fears were also justified.

In fact, Arthur really doesn't care if the Centennial Exhibition of Independence can make money, or how much money can be made? Arthur really cares about whether the Independence Centennial Exhibition can be carried out smoothly, because it is related to Arthur's official reputation, if he can successfully hold the Independence Centennial Exhibition during his tenure, it will be of great help to Arthur's future, and maybe in a few years, Arthur can also join the game of competing for the presidency.

"Don't worry, Alan, I can guarantee that it should be yours, it will definitely be yours, and no one can take it away." Li Mu had never disappointed Arthur, and this time it was the same.

"Alright then, I want you to have a snack, I'm putting all my hopes in you... As for the Japanese, I'll give them a reply..."Arthur said this, and suddenly remembered that Li Mu was the protagonist, so he immediately returned the initiative to Li Mu: "Well, how do you want me to reply to the Japanese?" ”

"Let them die!" Li Mu was unceremonious, and the Japanese did not have the slightest favor.

"You are ruthless enough, I will let them die..."Arthur pointed his finger at Li Mu, fully expressing his "admiration".

"Oh, by the way, and please tell Mr. Secretary of State that the employees of the Kuama Group have been treated unfairly in the Far East Ryukyus, so I hope that Mr. Secretary of State will do justice for us to go to the Malaysia Group." Li Mu is not reluctant, since the Japanese have filed complaints in Washington, then Li Mu cannot show weakness.

As for whether Mr. Secretary of State will help Li Mu get angry, Li Mu is not worried about this.

Who made the Horse Group a creditor of Washington, but Washington can't afford to pay back the money now, so Mr. Hamilton must know what he should do.
