As the mayor of New York, it really shouldn't be too easy to clean up a certain newspaper in New York and teach them a lesson.

Especially when the mayor has a lot of capital and has both political and economic resources, it is simply invincible.

The reason why the U.S. government is a government controlled by capital is that politicians have to accept capital funding when they run for election, so that they will have enough economic strength to kill their competitors.

The reason is very simple, once the poor ghost has the opportunity to make money, he will often do whatever it takes to eat ugly, no matter what kind of money he has to do everything he can to get it back, there is no way, he is really poor; And the rich will be somewhat restrained in this regard, at least they don't have to worry about their livelihood, even if they can't govern, they still live very well, so for some small money, the rich don't look down on it, and it is often these "small money" that have the most to do with the livelihood of the small people.

Arthur is undoubtedly a rich man now, Arthur owns tens of millions of dollars worth of shares in the Rose Company, which has been laundered by Columbia Investment Corporation, and is Arthur's legitimate income, so Arthur has an advantage in this regard, even if no one funds Arthur, Arthur can make a difference in the future.

Li Mu didn't care how Arthur gradually promoted the disclosure of accounts, or even how Arthur wanted to deal with the "New York Tribune", after the press conference, Li Mu knew what happened at the press conference, if Horace Greeley did not target Gloria but only "Time Magazine", Li Mu would not care about a loser like Horace Greeley at all, but when it came to Gloria, Li Mu would not fade it away.

Will is also in New York at the moment, and when he heard about what happened at the press conference, Will was furious: "Tiger, take someone to seal the New York Tribune for me, damn it's been looking for trouble, the account for the war against Montana some time ago has not been settled, and now it is bullying Gloria, I want to make that damn Horace Greeley pay." ”

Horace Greeley is Grant's sworn enemy, and the political dispute between the two has risen to the ultimate level, no matter what the Grant government does, Horace Greeley has to pick a bone in the egg, and even for national policies such as the "Westward Expansion Movement", Horace Greeley has to complain in the newspaper.

Just some time ago, when George Dewey strategically retreated and wanted to lure the Indians out of the mountains to be strangled, Horace Greeley attacked George Dewey and Will in the "New York Tribune" and other military generals, saying that George Dewey, as a naval officer, is now an army general, because Secretary of War Bernap is in a daze, and that it is irresponsible for the lives of young Americans to hand over a unit like the First Division of the Army Cavalry Division to a small sergeant, etc., in short, how disgusting people come.

It is said that the United States is at war, and public opinion at home should be unified, and such behavior of the "New York Tribune" is absolutely not allowed, but just because of Horace Greeley's qualifications and his status as an opposition party, all this has become a grandiose statement, and the full exercise of "supervisory power" in the name of beauty really disgusted Will's gang.

At that time, Will had the idea of teaching the New York Tribune a lesson, but it was beyond the reach of the whip, so it was put on hold for the time being, and now Horace Greeley once again came up without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and Will was planning to count the old and new hatreds together.

"Yes General, carry out your orders right away." For such an order, Yan Hu did not resist in the slightest.

If you ignore the hair and skin color, the current Yan Hu is a copy of Will, the same tall, the same upright, and in his early twenties, he has become a senior general in the US Army, and the future is unpredictable.

Unlike Li Mu, who has always been respected, Yan Hu is now very popular, and during the period when Yan Hu returned to New York from Springfield, Clinton Castle was much more lively, and the members who used to hang out at Clinton Castle were gone, replaced by their daughters.

No way, the aura on Li Mu's body is too dazzling, the chairman of the Horse Group, the "king" of New York, the "emperor" of the United Republic of Cuba, the "mastermind" of Hawaii, and the largest farmer in Indiana and Illinois, these identities are enough to take out one of them, and it is simply an eyesore to concentrate on one person, so although Li Mu's personal image is very good, few families are interested in Li Mu.

Just like Gloria was not provoked by anyone in New York, Li Mu was also ignored, and now the relationship between Li Mu and Gloria is well known, and in the case that the first snow is not known to the public, the two of them can be regarded as growing up together and having no guesses, so no one fights Li Mu's idea.

"Seizure—will it be too late?" Li Mu is not as unscrupulous as Will, and there are many ways to retaliate against Horace Greeley, and such a blatant bully is the most unskilled.

"Hmph, it's not at all, Horace Greeley is something, this guy is a fool, as a founder of the Republican Party, but mixed with the Democrats, such a person will never become president, if he becomes president, the United States will be directly divided." After becoming a general, Will spoke even more unscrupulously.

"Hehe, it's just taking advantage of each other, even with the support of the Democrats, Horace Greeley can't compete with Mr. President, no matter what the Democrats do, the Democrats haven't had a chance to come to power in the past ten years, so the Democrats are just trying to disgust us." Li Mu saw it thoroughly, politicians are a group of guys with the most bottomless bottoms, and they said that the festival is to play the piano to the cow.

"It's a trivial matter, you don't have to worry about it, you still use dim sum to win the bid of the War Department, the future of the US Army is at stake, you can't lose to the British." Will didn't want Li Mu to take care of these trivial matters, in Will's opinion, Li Mu's time was precious, and he should deal with more important things.

One of the direct consequences of the Montana War was that it contributed to the establishment of a standing army in the United States, and Sherman was not unable to command, and in the Civil War, Sherman also performed well, but relying on a group of sailors who went ashore and the militias of various states, it was not easy to win the Indians who fought to the death for the right to survive.

George Dewey parachuted into Montana with the prestige of defeating the Spaniards, and at the same time brought with him a serious army tempered by the Cuban War, compared with the systematically trained army, the Indians' combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning, whether in terms of weapons or tactical skills, the regular army was superior, so the Montana War ended in the victory of the United States government.

In the past, the United States did not set up a standing army because the army had no existential value, there were no too powerful countries around the United States, and it was enough to send marines for small-scale wars, so there was no room for the army to exist.

Now it is different, the army has completely proved its value in the Montana War, so the War Department not only does not abolish the First Cavalry Division, but also organizes the Second Cavalry Division and the Third Infantry Division on the basis of the First Cavalry Division, which can be regarded as basically confirming the existence of the army.

Since the War Department has decided to establish a standing army, it will need a large amount of weapons and ammunition, so the War Department recently issued a bidding request to all major US arms companies, including the Horse Arms Company, the Springfield Arsenal, the New Haven Arms Company, the Hartford Rapid-Fire Weapons Company, and so on.

Well, in fact, all of them are subsidiaries of the Junma Group, and the Ministry of War also knows about the Junma Weapons Company, but everyone has a tacit understanding, and no one debunked it, but when the telegram was sent, the War Department also sent a copy to Enfeld, England, which is a bit of an examination.

Relations between the United States and Britain were a bit strained over the state of Hawaii, so the War Department used this incident to send an invitation to Enfeld, which was also a signal to ease relations.

Of course, the signal is the signal, the facts are the facts, and if the Horse Arms Company loses to the British in the bidding, then it is estimated that the whole War Department will not give the Horse Weapons Company any good face.

"Don't worry about that, what does Enfield have? The world's first breech-loading rifle? Don't be funny, the Horse Arms Company has launched the magazine type Springfield rifle, and the British have no chance of winning in this regard, and besides the pistols, do you think the one-handed robbery made by the British can compare to the Python of the Horse Arms Company? I'm afraid your soldiers won't think so; The only way for the British to win is artillery, but as long as they give the Horse Weapons Company half a year, the British will not have any advantage in artillery, and the Horse Weapons Company can completely swallow the orders of the Ministry of War, not only this one, all the orders of the Ministry of War in the future only need to contact the Horse Weapons Company. Li Mu has confidence in the Horse Weapons Company, and Enfield has no advantage in front of the Horse Weapons Company except for his qualifications.

The only shortcoming of the Horse Arms Company is artillery, but now it is making up for it, and after the completion of the New Haven Artillery Factory, the Horse Arms Company will make up for this last shortcoming, and then the Horse Weapons Company will be the largest arms company in the world, and there is no one.

"Half a year—hehe—" Will couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly as he remembered the announcement from the War Department some time ago.

The War Department's procurement of weapons this time does not include artillery, and it will not be until half a year later that the War Department will purchase artillery.

As Will thought, the Ministry of War was in line with the development rhythm of the Horse Weapons Company, otherwise this time period would not have been so coincidental.

Well, it's no secret that there is a little bit of frustration between the arms company and the military, not to mention that Li Mu and Bernap are old friends, and Bernap has accepted Li Mu's invitation and will work in the Junma Group after retirement, so although Bernap doesn't say it, no matter what Bernap does now, he must give priority to the Junma Group.
