Arthur is right, I have to admit that it was the United States that made Li Mu, this period of the United States, can give Li Mu a relaxed environment, a little earlier, the business atmosphere in the United States has not yet formed, a little later, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" will make it difficult for Li Mu to move an inch, the original history is that Arthur signed the "Chinese Exclusion Act", this time and space is impossible, as long as Li Mu is there, the United States will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

"In the past, what I was most worried about was that you had too close contact with the Qing State, but now there is no such worry, but a new problem has arisen, Reem, you have to grasp the balance, it may be a good thing to subvert the Qing State, but it may also be a bad thing, although we don't want to see the worst happen, but Reem you have to be prepared to face the worst, of course I support you, and I will try my best to persuade the Congress to support you, but this support is not without a bottom line." Arthur knows the politicians in Congress very well, that is, a group of vultures who are not profitable, and if they can't see the benefits, it is difficult for them to support Li Mu like Arthur.

"You just need a plan, don't worry too much, this is a business, of course there are losses and profits in business, everyone wants to make money, but God will only favor those who are ready." Rockefeller's attitude is the most detached, Li Mu can overthrow the Qing government, of course, then these capitalists in the United States will get the market of the Qing country, if they can't and it doesn't matter, it will be regarded as a failed investment, this money Rockefeller does not care.

"Don't worry about Chester, don't be intimidated by the paper power of the Qing State, although the Qing State has two million troops, but those troops will not die for the Qing State, I have the most say in this regard, so if there is a danger, it can only be from the outside, I think Yan Shun should not give the British and the French a chance to interfere." Of course, Li Mu knows the Qing State, better than everyone thinks, and even better than the rulers of the Qing State, if you only talk about combat effectiveness, those armies of the Qing State are not even comparable to the mercenaries trained by Bai Qi, Li Mu can't think of any chance for the Qing Kingdom to turn the tables, as long as Yan Shun does not make the mistakes that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made at the beginning, then the Qing Kingdom has already died.

In fact, decades ago, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had the opportunity to overthrow the Qing government, but it is a pity that the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom lost their enterprising spirit after capturing Jinling, and they began to enjoy the fruits instead of continuing northward, which gave the Qing Empire a chance to breathe.

When Yan Shun went to the Ryukyus, Li Mu talked to Yan Shun about this issue, and Li Mu told Yan Shun a lot of his experience, including trying to win over the local governors of the Qing State, taking advantage of the contradictions between the poor people and the landlord class in the Qing State, and dividing the garrison generals of the Qing State.

As for the possible interference of the British and the French, Li Mu certainly did not forget, the promises of the politicians are the least valuable, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was because of the complete rejection of the British and French, and as a result, the British and French were completely pushed to the side of the Qing government, Li Mu will definitely not make such a mistake, and even Li Mu wants to use the British and French to achieve the goal, everyone knows that the Qing State has not completely opened the domestic market to Western countries, as long as it makes a fuss on this point, it is not difficult to get the support of the British and French, As for whether this will harm the interests of the Chinese, it does not matter, even if there is a sacrifice, it is only temporary, and in any case, the situation will never be worse than the history of another time and space.

"Oh, does the Qing have two million troops?" Arthur also doesn't know much about the situation of the Qing Kingdom, a country's military strength should be the country's top secret, but Li Mu can say it casually, which makes Arthur have a little more confidence in Li Mu.

"There really is, the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion, and the largest navy in Asia, with a total strength of two million people, it is not surprising, but most of these armies have lax military discipline and low combat effectiveness, and they can use them to scare people, but they can't fight, even if there are one or two armies with strong combat effectiveness, but for the Qing State, it is only a drop in the bucket." Li Mu is talking about the Black Flag Army, two months ago, the Black Flag Army defeated the invading French army in the Red River Delta, public opinion was in an uproar, the French government urgently increased military spending to South Vietnam, used to expand the war in North Vietnam, the Black Flag Army also became famous in the first war, known as the strongest combat force in the Qing State.

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Army, Li Mu did not have the right to speak because he did not know much, but Li Mu understood the combat effectiveness of the colonial army of the South Vietnamese government, because those troops were trained by the instructors of the Far East Company, in fact, in daily training, the performance of those colonial troops was not bad, but on the battlefield, the colonial army could not exert its combat effectiveness at all, on the one hand, the soldiers were unwilling to work for the colonists, on the other hand, the Qing State was the suzerainty of Annam, which made the soldiers very resistant when performing the task.

According to Li Mu's understanding, in the Qing State, there are not many troops like the Black Flag Army, in fact, the Black Flag Army is a group of people who cannot survive in the Qing State, and they fight against the French not for profit, but for survival, which will bring the greatest motivation to the soldiers of the Black Flag Army.

Generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army is a tragedy, after entering the customs, the eight banners of the Manchu honor guard are getting worse, when Wu Sangui had breakfast, the Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, the myth of the invincibility of the 10,000 has actually been shattered, to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, the eight banners of the Qing Dynasty have been completely abolished, in order to exterminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing Kingdom had to rely on the local governor, the establishment of the green battalion, the green camp performed well when it was first established, but with the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the green camp was corrupted faster than the original Eight Banners, If the Qing State is facing war now, then the Qing State can only organize and train a new army, and in another time and space, it is the new army organized and trained by the Qing government that completely buries the Qing government.

"It's good that you're sure, I hope your information isn't wrong." Arthur is still very convinced of Li Mu's intelligence ability, "Time Magazine" has played a greater role in supervising officials than prosecutors in the past few years, of course, most of the officials exposed by "Time Magazine" are Democratic officials, and they are relatively friendly to Republican officials, which is also the reason why the Republican Party still has a certain upper hand in public opinion, not to mention that the Republican Party is very poor, and the Democratic Party is not very good.

"Hehe, it's easier than you think to get intelligence in the Qing Kingdom, and even many times, some military secrets of the Qing Kingdom are published in the newspapers in a grand manner, so if you want to collect intelligence in the Qing Kingdom, you just need to buy enough newspapers." Li Mu did not lie, and the person responsible for collecting intelligence for Li Mu was the Japanese under Bai Qi.

Sometimes the Japanese love to drill the horns of the horns of the character is still very cute, such as collecting intelligence, the Japanese are very good at this kind of thing, they can sometimes do the ultimate in one thing, white people can't do this aspect, the white gunners under Bai Qi are all action-oriented, let them collect intelligence, they can lose themselves.

"Just don't write our military secrets in Time Magazine." Arthur was simply taken aback, if what Li Mu said was true, then the newspaper practitioners in the Qing Kingdom were too unprofessional, and there were also those officials in charge of security, and their performance was also very amateurish.

"How is it possible, we have censorship." Li Mu is not worried about this problem, when he founded "Time Magazine", Li Mu established the news censorship system, and now the news censorship system has become the official regulation of the National Association of Journalists, and the censorship of newspapers and periodicals with Democratic tendencies is the strictest, and the newspapers and periodicals of Democratic nationality often complain that the National Association of Journalists is a fake public and private interest.

That's right, it's a fake public and private, this is the advantage of having the right to speak, it was Time Magazine that took the lead in establishing the National Association of Journalists, not a newspaper leaning towards the Democratic Party, which set the tone for the National Association of Journalists, and the Democratic Party can complain, but the National Association of Journalists will not change.

Li Mu stayed in Washington for a week, and within a week, Li Mu had contact with at least 20 congressmen, and most of them expressed understanding of Far East Company's behavior, and if Far East Company's income increased, Washington would also benefit, and no one could refuse the temptation of money.

The night before Li Mu returned to New York, Old Man Chen asked Li Mu to have dinner, Li Mu did not refuse, just had a meal, it was impossible for Old Man Chen to pull out a pistol at the dinner table to force Li Mu to change his mind.

I haven't seen him for more than two months, the speed of old man Chen's aging is visible to the naked eye, and the Young Children's Overseas Business Bureau was finally revoked, Li Mu did not hand over Rong Hua and Tan Yaoxun as asked by Old Man Chen, as for how the officials of the Young Children's Overseas Business Bureau will explain to the emperor after returning to China, this is not a matter of concern to Li Mu.

"I want to start a point, the abolition of the Bureau of Young Children Going Overseas is inevitable, and the Qing State will not allow us Han people to master advanced knowledge, they want us to be obedient people and slaves, rather than to improve our lives and improve our social status through hard work." Li Mu still comforted casually, although Li Mu did not feel sad because of the young children who went abroad, but Li Mu still felt sorry for those students who interrupted their studies, they left the Qing Kingdom at the age of eleven or twelve to come to the United States, received education in the United States, grew up in the United States, and now they return to the Qing Kingdom, and they have to readapt to everything in the Qing Kingdom, which will be very difficult for them, but people live in this world, who can go well, the emperor also has his own troubles.

"Reem, that's Qing Guo, not the United States, and it shouldn't be up to you to talk about it." Old man Chen seems to have come to his senses and accepted the reality, but he still does not allow Li Mu to slander the Qing Empire, for Li Mu, the Qing government is a standard reactionary government, but for Old Man Chen, the Qing Empire is his motherland, and this reason is enough to overwhelm everything.

"Yes, you are right, I am an American now, I should not comment on the Qing Empire casually, if you have the opportunity, I would like to invite you to visit Springfield Institute of Technology and Medical School, I believe that after you have been there, you will have the most intuitive understanding of the current education model." Li Mu actually wants Old Man Chen to see more, is the thousands of Chinese students in Springfield Institute of Technology and Medical School, the Qing Empire sent students to the United States, only sent 120 people to terminate the plan, Li Mu has no restrictions on cultivating Chinese students, just like Li Mu said, the Qing State does not want the Han people to master advanced knowledge, because they are afraid that the Han people have too much knowledge, which will endanger their rule, this kind of idea will eventually be swept into the garbage heap, and the Qing government is the same.

"I'll go, I'm about to leave office, the new minister to the United States is on his way, and when he gets to Washington, I'll be back home, and before I go home, I'll definitely go to New York and see the Springfield Institute of Technology and the School of Medicine with my own eyes." Old man Chen was leaving, which made Li Mu feel a little sad.

"Why would you return to China at this time, even if you leave office, stay in the United States for a while longer." Li Mu can't say that war will break out in the Qing Kingdom soon, and an old master like Old Man Chen will definitely not cooperate with Yan Shun and them after returning to China, Yan Shun and they are the chaotic ministers and thieves in the eyes of Old Man Chen, and at that time, Old Man Chen's result is estimated to be very sad.

"I don't care, Reem, for the sake of us coming to the United States on the same ship, tell me, do you just want to develop the Qingguo market?" After all, Old Man Chen still showed his intention, if it was someone else, Old Man Chen would not care, but Li Mu is a little special, Li Mu is Chinese, and the white people who went to the Qing Kingdom under the banner of doing business in the past are different, Old Man Chen intuitively, there must be a problem here, Li Mu's purpose will not be so simple, now Old Man Chen has a certain understanding of the Western world, if it is just to make money in business, then Li Mu should go to open up the European market, Europeans through a hundred years of global colonization, Most of the world's wealth has been snatched back to Europe, and the Qing used to be rich, but now that money is gone, otherwise the Qing would not have let an Englishman be the chief of customs and rely on customs taxes to pay off debts.

"Of course - it's not just about business, as I just said, the Qing government just wants to enslave us Han people, you are an official, and your life can be passable, but have you ever paid attention to the Han people at the bottom of society? Do you know what kind of life they're living? Yes, I am an American now, and I have no position to express my opinion on the issue of Qing Guo, but the Qing country is experiencing the worst humanitarian disaster in the world, and anyone with compassion will pay attention to the problems of Qing Guo, and I will pay more attention to it, because before I became an American, I was also a Qing country, and I was first and foremost a Chinese, a Han Chinese. "Li Mu didn't hide it this time, humanitarianism is really a good excuse, you can use it casually.
