Many times, fate is so twisted and bizarre, we talked about Andrew Johnson before, if it wasn't for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, then Andrew Johnson would not take over as the president of the United States, then maybe the United States would not buy Alaska, maybe the future world pattern will be rewritten.

The same is true of Arthur, who has always been considered to be Ulysses Grant's henchman, in another time and space, after Hayes came to power, Arthur was dismissed by Hayes, so Arthur later chose to cooperate with James Garfield to participate in the presidential campaign together, replacing Hayes in the presidential palace.

This time, because of the appearance of Li Mu, Arthur's political career was more smooth sailing, not only was he not dismissed by Hayes, but he served as the mayor of New York and the governor of New York, all the way up, in the Republican Party, Arthur even has a reputation that is not weaker than James Garfield, which is also an important reason for James Garfield and Arthur to cooperate.

To be honest, Arthur, who has more resources than another time and space, if he is more ambitious, Arthur doesn't even have to choose to cooperate with James Garfield, with Li Mu's full help, Arthur's performance will not lose to anyone.

It's a pity that because of Li Mu, Arthur has now saved a lot of money, even if he leaves American politics, Arthur can choose his life as he likes, which largely makes Arthur lose motivation, the presidency may be full of attraction for people like Hayes or James Garfield, but it is really not very attractive to Arthur, Arthur witnessed how embarrassed Ulysses Grant was besieged by the government and the opposition in the presidency at the beginning, It can be said that if it were not for this experience, Ulysses Grant might have received a better evaluation, and it is a shame that a national hero was kicked out of the presidential palace as a corpse, and Arthur did not want to go through it.

Don't look at Ulysses Grant now traveling around the world freely, that's because of Li Mu's support, Ulysses Grant has the energy and financial resources to realize his dream, without Li Mu's support, the current Ulysses Grant should be busy dealing with the common accusations of the whole society and the pervasive financial review, Arthur doesn't know how Ulysses Grant escaped the scrutiny of those tax officials, maybe Ulysses Grant is really on the verge of bankruptcy as he said, Ulysses Grant. Grant can stand up to scrutiny, but Arthur can't.

Perhaps the last person in the world who wants the relationship between Li Mu and James Garfield to break down is Arthur, although if Arthur is willing, he can not bear the due obligation to take over as president, but Arthur does not dare to break the boat, that will discredit Arthur, which is more difficult for Arthur than to kill him.

Remember that U.S. Constitution provision? If he was not born in the United States, then he cannot become the president of the United States, and it is precisely because of this that Li Mu will not be regarded as a threat.

Arthur is actually not, Arthur was born in Canada across the Vermont border, and later moved to New York with his family, in order to become James Garfield's running mate, Arthur lied on this issue, insisting that he was born in the United States, which is eligible to be James Garfield's running mate, according to the Constitution, if James Garfield cannot fulfill his presidential duties, then Arthur will take over as president, at this time, if someone points this out, Arthur's personal integrity is called into question, knowing that a president receives much more attention than a vice president, and lies are much more likely to be exposed.

"Chester, you are my friend, you know what I really care about, for me, the most important thing now is not the Horse Arms Company, not the Horse Group, not even the Bank of America, but the Horse Affiliated School and the Springfield Institute of Technology, these two schools are not only important to me, but also to all Chinese Americans in the United States, and even equally important to the future of the United States, to put it mildly, the Horse Affiliated School and the Springfield Institute of Technology are my private property, I can run it as I like, no one has the right to dictate, at this stage, these two schools will be more effective in training talents for the United States in batches according to the way I have set, and the current situation of these two schools has proven this, and I will not allow anyone to change the way the Stallion School and Springfield Institute of Technology operate, even if that person is the president of the United States. For the first time, Li Mu expressed his dissatisfaction with the president very clearly, and strangely, Arthur did not seem to feel inappropriate.

This is the power of capital, businessmen like Li Mu do not need to scruple anyone in the United States, in fact, it is not only Li Mu, Rockefeller, J· P. Morgan, Henry Dupont, these people all have this qualification, but only Li Mu would say it so blatantly, and everyone else is better at covering it up.

Of course, this is also because of the fact that Rockefeller and J. For example, Standard Oil and the DuPont family were once ordered to be spun off by the U.S. Supreme Court because of "monopoly operation", and the response of Standard Oil and the DuPont family was the same, they were both split into many small companies of different sizes on the surface, but in fact, they were changing the soup and not changing the medicine, and the business methods were the same as before.

What is this behavior?

This is a defiance of the US Supreme Court, this is a blatant contempt for the supervision of public opinion, but have Standard Oil and the DuPont family been punished for this?

Sorry, no, there is nothing more comical than Standard Oil and the DuPont family, on the contrary, because of the apparent "loss of interests", from the policy and economic compensation.

"I know Ream, believe me, James didn't say anything, no one wants to touch your cheese, the Horse School and Springfield Institute of Technology are not only your pride, but also the pride of Massachusetts and New York, and now it seems that the Horse School and Springfield Institute of Technology have a relatively single source of students, I think that will definitely change in the future, we all know that you are not a selfish person." Arthur can only pick and choose, at this time, any attempt to calm Li Mu's anger is to add fuel to the fire, when Tweed threatened Li Mu, Arthur once advised Li Mu to focus on the overall situation, as a result, Tweed was ruined, and the relationship network that had been operating for ten years was ruined.

"He didn't say anything, but it was more serious than he said, whether it's good or bad, it's a judgment, just say it and we can discuss it together, but not saying anything makes me fear that the worst is going to happen, you know, I'm never going to sit still." This last sentence is very correct, Li Mu has always been aggressive, like a hedgehog breaking into the center of the city.

In fact, Li Mu in the 21st century is also a cautious person, ordinary work, ordinary life, like thousands of other ordinary people, living a 9-to-5 life.

Even if it is an ordinary person, once this extraordinary thing happens on his body, he will immediately become extraordinary, even if Li Mu in the 21st century is ordinary, he can live a peaceful and stable life, do not have to worry about the group violence of the "Chinese Exclusion Act", Li Mu in the 19th century can not be ordinary, not to mention the identity of the "traverser" who is not ordinary, choosing ordinary in the 19th century is equivalent to taking the initiative to hand the butcher knife to other people, Li Mu does not dare to do this kind of thing, even in the 21st century, when encountering violence, Li Mu will also choose to fight to the death.

"Trust me Reem, leave this question to me, and I will definitely give you an answer." Arthur decided to go back and have a good talk with James Garfield, not to mention that James Garfield has not won the election, at this time having a bad relationship with Li Mu is tantamount to giving up the campaign, even if James Garfield becomes the president of the United States, it is not wise to have a bad relationship with a capitalist like Li Mu.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, James Garfield is a politician, but Li Mu is the owner of the politician's money, how can there be a politician who plays tricks on the money? And it's when the money doesn't get in hand, it's really-

Seriously, Arthur really wants to find someone to scold, Arthur would rather believe that James Garfield is bewitched, after all, the attitude of some people around James Garfield towards minorities is really not fair, especially the Chinese led by Li Mu, although Li Mu has made such great achievements, but there are people who are unwilling to face it.

By the time Arthur returned to California to meet James Garfield, it was mid-September, and after attending a party hosted by local Republicans in San Francisco for James Garfield and Arthur, Arthur and James Garfield checked into the Castle Clinton Hotel in Oakland.

Oakland's Castle Clinton Hotel is the sixth beach club hotel in the United States, the top five cities with Castle Clinton hotels are New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, and Miami, all of which are located on the East Coast, and Oakland is the first city where Beach Clubs build a Castle Clinton Hotel on the West Coast.

The Beach Club still uses some chain hotel management methods when managing the Castle Clinton Hotel, so Arthur and James Garfield feel very familiar with the Castle Clinton Hotel in Oakland, from the standard language of the hotel service staff to the way the bath towels are placed in the bathroom, the Castle Clinton Hotel in Oakland is the same as the Castle Clinton Hotel in New York, which makes Arthur and James Garfield feel at home.

Of course, Arthur and James Garfield's focus is certainly not on the Clinton Castle Hotel, to Arthur and James Garfield's surprise, the city of Oakland has a city center square illuminated by electric lights, just under the balcony of Arthur and James Garfield's living room, which surprised both Arthur and James Garfield, you know, even San Francisco, there is no such extravagant city center square, the whole United States seems to be except New York, Only the city of Auckland has such a deep pocket, which makes Arthur and James Garfield simply interested in the city of Auckland.

"Oakland is a new city built by Chinese from scratch, different from other Chinese gathering points in China, Oakland is built by the Chinese brick by brick, over the years, the Pacific Company has sent boatloads of Chinese, they have crossed the ocean, across the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco is their first stop in the United States, many Chinese stayed in Oakland City to settle, there is the largest industrial area on the entire West Coast, Junma Group chose to put most of the West Coast factories in Oakland, There is also a branch of the Horse Affiliated School, all of which have the same rules as the Horse Affiliated School in Massachusetts, and the vast majority of students are Chinese, and they do not accept applications from white and black children at all. "James Garfield's deputy director of the campaign office, Isaiah Hodge, has obviously studied the city of Oakland, and even Li Mu can only introduce it in such detail here.

Obviously, there was a part of Isaiah Hodge's words that reminded James Garfield of something unpleasant, and James Garfield's face immediately became ugly.

"There is nothing wrong with the Chinese, we raised $2.5 million tonight, at least half of which was donated by the Chinese, we should pay more attention to the positive side of the Chinese, and also, will black children take the initiative to apply for admission to the school affiliated with the horse? It seems that few black people are willing to send their children to school. Arthur casually said perfunctorily, thinking in his heart that he was going to find an opportunity to get rid of Isaiah Hodge and have a good chat with James Garfield.

But it wasn't easy, and every night, James Garfield's campaign would meet together to review some of the issues on the day's itinerary and work out the next phase of the event, which they usually discussed late and Arthur didn't want too many people to know what he and James Garfield were talking about.

"Hehe, Mr. Governor, your words are suspected of racial discrimination." Isaiah Hodge joked casually, this hat is not lightly buttoned, and Isaiah Hodge seems to have forgotten that what he just said is actually suspected of racial discrimination.

It's just that compared with Arthur, Isaiah Hodge is more subtle in terms of racial discrimination.

"I just accidentally said the truth, if you want to be respected, you have to do something respectable, obviously compared to the Chinese, the vast majority of blacks are not so respectable, including a large part of the white people, I am not discriminating, if so, I am also discriminating against myself." Arthur would not be stumped by such a language trap, and his experience as governor was not given in vain.
