Walking out of Grant's restaurant, Li Mu felt cute. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How? What do you think? Before he could go far, Abel grabbed Li Mu and asked him repeatedly.
"None of the things you prepared came in handy, and Mr. President didn't ask at all—" Li Mu smiled and looked at Able's disappointed look.
"God forbid, it's best if it's useless!" To Li Mu's surprise, Abel was not only not depressed, but overjoyed.
The structure of this brain circuit is different from ordinary people!
"There's good news, you'd better hurry up and think of the name of our shipping company, and then we can order a cruise, Mr. President gave us the maximum authority, no matter how many people we get over, the immigration bureau has a green light all the way-" Li Mu focused on business, Li Mu was very busy during the next time, and every minute is very important to Li Mu now.
"Green light - what does green light mean?" Abel was confused.
Damn the generation gap -
Li Mu then remembered that there was no such thing as a traffic light in these years, so he changed to a normal way to explain it again.
"That's really good, I've contacted the shipyard, as long as we place an order, the shipyard will start production immediately, we now have two options, one is a paddle steamer, the price is cheap and the production speed is fast, as long as the funds are in place, we can get the ship soon, one is the propeller propulsion, the price is slightly more expensive, and the production cycle is relatively long, but the ship speed is faster, the wind and wave resistance effect is better, which one should we use?" When it came to specific matters, Abel didn't have an idea.
It's also a mouth cannon.
"Propellers, of course, do you need to talk about that?" Li Mu did not hesitate, the paddle steamer was about to be eliminated, and Li Mu didn't want his assets to depreciate rapidly.
"Alright then, propeller, but it's expensive, and we might have to add a budget—" The corners of Abel's mouth twitched a little, and it looked like it was a little painful.
For this shipping company, Li Mu and Abel jointly contributed one million US dollars, and this time it was the brothers who settled the account, Li Mu and Abel each contributed 500,000 yuan, each accounting for 50% of the shares.
If you want to talk about Abel this person, although he is an American, he didn't buy a ship in the United States, and he actually had to go to England to buy it, which really surprised Li Mu.
In fact, the shipbuilding strength of the Americans is still good, when the United States was independent, it could build 1500-ton warships, to the Civil War, the shipbuilding industry in the United States developed rapidly, more than 2000 ships can be built every year, it is one of the world's major shipbuilding countries, after the Civil War, the American shipbuilding industry further developed, in 1862, the United States Confederate Army built the first armored ship in the United States, and the next year the Americans built the world's first steel-hulled ship, which really established the status of a shipbuilding power.
With such a good foundation, Abel also has to go to England to buy a ship, and I have to say that Abel is also extremely "admiring foreigners".
"Uh-huh, add it, add it, you make a plan for me, and now take me to William first-" Li Mu's mind is not on the ship now, Li Mu's heart has flown to Cuba.
"William? That William? Abel didn't know what to do.
If you want to say the name of an American, the chance of having the same name is not too much, standing on the street of the United States and shouting "Mike", at least two or three out of ten Americans will turn back, and there are many people called "William", the meaning of this name is "strong and powerful warrior", and Americans like this.
"Sherman, William Tecusai Sherman." Only then did Li Mu remember to say his full name.
"Oh, General Sherman, what are you looking for him?" Able asked casually.
"I'm going to Cuba to help the Cubans train the army, what do you think I'm looking for him?" Li Mu was not angry.
"You're going to Cuba?" Able was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, screaming like a turkey being grabbed by the neck: "What about our company?" ”
"Cold salad!" Li Mu didn't care about making money at this time, so it was important to ask Sherman to ask for bodyguards to save his life.
Li Mu was also self-defeating, because Li Mu showed extraordinary familiarity with the judgment of the situation, so Grant decided to send Li Mu to Cuba to guide the Cubans to expel the Spanish colonists!
Li Mu will want to cry without tears, let Li Mu make money, Li Mu is confident that he will become a super-rich, but let Li Mu go to war, Li Mu really won't, and he really doesn't want to go.
It can be seen that Grant's vision of people is indeed problematic!
But Grant is the president, and what the president said is a holy decree, and Li Mu has to go to Cuba even if he means it, otherwise he will inevitably end up with a negative evaluation, which is not good.
Fortunately, Grant is also a veteran of the battlefield, and when it comes to military affairs, Grant is a real expert, so Grant prescribed medicine to Li Mu, and went to Sherman to ask for some officers who performed well during the Civil War, and let those officers train the Cuban army.
Well, when it comes to combat, Grant is immediately very shrewd, and the person recommended to Li Mu this time is finally correct, William Tecusay Sherman, this guy is a famous general during the Civil War, proposed to "march to the sea" during the Civil War, and led the army to burn down Atlanta, known as an early advocate of "total war", during World War II, the British called the world's most produced M4 tank "Sherman" tank, which shows Sherman's status in the hearts of soldiers.
Li Mu knows that the name Sherman is also derived from the "Sherman" tank, although Li Mu does not know that Sherman has those great achievements, but being named the world's largest production tank is enough to prove that Sherman has enough prestige.
That's enough.
After the Civil War, Sherman joined Grant in the White House and is currently in charge of directing the army to wage war against the Indians.
To be honest, when I saw Sherman for the first time, Sherman's respectful face really startled Li Mu.
is different from Grant's handsome comparison, Sherman is ugly and can be a door god, according to the way the Chinese describe it, Sherman is a standard shoehorn face, a mouth is a little overhead, and a brain door, with a messy stubble, Li Mu suddenly understood why the British called the M4 tank the "Sherman" tank.
Like Sherman, the M4 tank is also ugly, this tank looks like an enlarged version of a toad from the front, the appearance has no beauty at all, there are pimples everywhere, it looks like a verified version of the unfinished design, and it looks more like a squatting toad, with a big belly, a small head, and the head is turned around, how ugly and ugly it is.
Standing in front of Sherman, Li Mu had to take a deep breath before he could take his attention off Sherman's face.
"Hello General Sherman, I am about to go to Cuba on the orders of Mr. President, and the President has selected a group of experienced officers on active duty to assist me. Li Mu casually handed over the appointment order in Grant's handwriting.
"I also need manpower on my side, and I want to wipe out all the Indians as soon as possible, so there are no extra people for you." To Li Mu's surprise, Sherman did not accept the order, but rejected Li Mu's request.
"How to destroy the Indians is your business, I only ask for experienced officers, and they are on active duty, if you get a few privates to fool me-then I'm really sorry, the order of the War Department will be delayed-" Li Mu is not easy to mess with, in the face of Grant Li Mu can be respectful, in the face of Sherman, Li Mu is not so patient.
The reason is simple: Sherman is too ugly.
Tsk, the nineteenth century was also an era of face-seeking!
"Order from the Ministry of War - are you from the Horse Arms Company? Are you Reem? Sherman realized it later.
The United States did not have a War Department in these years, and the War Department was the predecessor of the War Department, so Li Mu and the War Department's order was actually an order with the War Department.
"Yes, I'm Reem." Li Mu endured his discomfort and faced Sherman.
"Hehehe-I beg your pardon, I've killed a bit more Indians during this time, so I'm excited to see black hair and yellow skin-" Shermanpi didn't smile.
What the hell is this, Li Mu was almost so angry that he went away.
Although he has not been in the United States for a long time, Li Mu is very sure that the Chinese and the Indians are two different things, Li Mu knows that some experts in the twentieth century believe that the Indians are the descendants of the Chinese, but later a variety of technical means, including genetic testing, show that the Indians have nothing to do with the Chinese, and the North American Indians are a race with complex origins, which is a mixture of white, yellow and brown races, and because the matrilineal sources are mostly Tungusic and Austronesians, they have some Asian characteristics.
Speaking of Indians, this is definitely the black history of the United States, the founding father of the United States, Washington, famously said: Peel Indians from the hips down, so that you can make boots as long as your legs. As for the Sherman in front of Li Mu, his attitude towards the slaughter of the Indians was: if we kill a little more this year, then we will kill a little less next year, anyway, they all have to be killed, or they will be kept as a poor breed.
Look, that's America's westward expansion.
Knowing that there are such allusions, Li Mu really doesn't have a good impression of Sherman: "Okay, then General Sherman, who is already excited, if you want to get the new weapon on time, then you'd better take out the roster of officers in your hand and let me pick it, otherwise I will have to go to Mr. President to testify, and Mr. President can prove that I am not an Indian." ”
Well, Li Mu is going to bring the essence of the future of the US military to a pot, if Li Mu has a good one in Cuba, then Li Mu will be buried with the future of the US Army.
