216 Furious (3rd Update)
Li Mu gambled that Darwin Andrew didn't dare to turn his face with Li Mu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Different identities determine their different ways of acting, Li Mu is Chinese, it is true, the status of Chinese in Cuba is not high, but this does not mean that Li Mu can be at the mercy of Darwin Andrew, if Darwin Andrew thinks that Li Mu is young, he can bluff Li Mu in a few words, then Darwin Andrew is wrong, as a traverser, being threatened is a very humiliating thing in itself, if he is unable to turn the tables, then Li Mu can only buy a piece of tofu and die.
Fight to the end!
This is indeed a very heroic word, at least when Li Mu said this word, Benjamin's eyes immediately lit up when he looked at Li Mu, and Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee looked at Li Mu in shock.
"I repeat to you again, I don't care who is the president of your Republic of Cuba, I only take what I should take, if you can't protect my territory, then I will protect myself, if you can fight side by side with me, then I welcome, but I want to emphasize that if anyone dares to mess with me behind my back, I will definitely leave him with nothing!" Li Mu sneered, staring at Darwin Andrew's eyes, no matter what Darwin Andrew did now, then Li Mu would not hesitate to grab the quill on the table and insert it into Darwin Andrew's eyes.
Perhaps sensing Li Mu's determination, Darwin Andrew could no longer maintain a calm and relaxed expression.
In fact, all toughness is pretended, and toughness is also relatively speaking, for the weak, of course the strong will be tough, but if you meet the stronger, even the strong have to show weakness.
Obviously, Darwin Andrew may be a strong man relative to Céspedes, but compared to Li Mu, Darwin Andrew is an out-and-out weakling.
Nothing, this is the threat from Li Mu, for those who have enjoyed the taste of power, the most uncomfortable thing for them is not to kill them, but to let them lose their power and have nothing, which will make him uncomfortable even more than killing him.
Throughout the ages, many people have pursued immortality, in fact, what they pursue is to maintain the power in their hands forever, if those people are beggars, they definitely don't want to live forever, maybe they have the intention of dying early and reincarnating.
Darwin Andrew is the same, in Li Mu's opinion, this guy is a standard serotic inward, Li Mu does not believe that Darwin Andrew has the courage to give up everything in his hands and die with Li Mu, if he really has this courage, Darwin Andrew will not remove Cespedes from power.
"Mr. Reem, you're really impressive." Darwin Andrew picked up a cigar and cut the mouthpiece with his fingers trembling slightly.
"How many troops are left in San Diego? Don't tell me that only those people in the barracks are left. Li Mu turned to Rayleigh Toynby, not wanting to threaten Darwin Andrew anymore.
Rayleigh Toynbee glanced at Darwin Andrew first, and after receiving Darwin Andrew's signal, Rayleigh Toynby answered Li Mu's question: "Including the 6,000 people in the barracks, our original troops are less than 10,000, and the troops withdrawn from Bayamo are about 30,000, but they have not undergone much training, because the retreat is relatively hasty, and the weapons are not sufficient, so we can come in handy now about 20,000 people." ”
This-
Li Mu really didn't know how to evaluate it, as far as Li Mu knew, just a week ago, the Republic of Cuba also deployed 50,000 people in Bayamo, but within a few days, even if Rayleigh Toynby ordered the troops to retreat early, only 30,000 people ran back, and most of the soldiers lost their guns in the process of fleeing, Li Mu did not believe that all the 20,000 people were killed, and it was estimated that the probability of escape was relatively large.
It's really a defeat.
"That is to say, we still have 40,000 people, and only 20,000 can be used, and Willis Nikolau has at least 50,000 people, of which 20,000 are regular troops from Spain-" Li Mu looked at the power on paper, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was little hope.
The combat effectiveness of the colonial army and the regular army is certainly incomparable, and from the point of view of training, the colonial army is certainly stronger than the troops of the Republic of Cuba, which was able to drive out the Spaniards only because of the courage to fight to the end, and now that the courage has been lost, the only advantage of the troops of the Republic of Cuba no longer exists.
"So we're going to Baracoa, avoiding the Spaniards for the time being, and when the Spaniards are exhausted, Santiago and Bayamo are still ours." Rayleigh Toynbee seemed to have found a reason to escape, and his voice was slightly louder.
"Mr. Rayleigh, I want to remind you of the fact that if you give up on San Diego, then you will never come back, because no one will believe that you will succeed, including the 40,000 people now, the reason why they will return to San Diego is because they still have hope for you, if you run away at such a time, then sooner or later they will leave you, and then I can pat my ass and go back to Springfield, at most I will return the money of the Wall Street tycoons, and I will not earn a penny, But what do you do? Exile in England or exile in France, setting up a meaningless government-in-exile and dying? Then ten years from now, twenty years from now, or at the end of your life, I can guarantee that you will regret holding back today. Li Mu tried his best to say that he didn't care, and the more he did, the more he could make Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee let their guard down.
After listening to Li Mu's words, Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynby looked at each other, although they didn't want to admit it, they also knew that the situation that Li Mu said was indeed very likely to happen.
"So, Mr. Reem, what would you do if it were you?" Darwin Andrew took a hard puff of his cigar and puffed out his mouth for a long time before slowly exhaling it.
Uh-uh, that's not elegant, and it's clearly out of line with the style of a cigar.
"Gather all the troops, get rid of those who are not strong-willed, and encourage them to fight the Spaniards to the end, even if they flee, they must flee with dignity, not like a lost dog, and leave with their heads held high on the battlefield full of sunsets." Li Mu can also sing a high note, only half of the words, as for how to fight, sorry, Li Mu doesn't know, that should be George Dewey's task.
"That is, you can't deal with the Spaniards either." The disappointment in Darwin Andrew's eyes was fleeting, but he was able to endure it.
"Mr. Darwin, let me tell you this, if you are going to Baracoa, so light, I can tell you right now, I will definitely not go, because there is only a dead end to go to Baracoa, if you want to stay in Santiago, then we can fight with the Spaniards, the outcome is still unpredictable, even if we lose, we lose without complaint. I think -- do you see what I mean? ”; Li Mu became more and more impatient, and the Spaniards immediately approached the city, and Li Mu did not have much time to deal with these people.
"Mr. Ream, calm down—" Darwin Andrew was still unhurried.
"I can't calm down-" Li Mu was furious, casually swept the candlesticks and documents on the table to the ground, and glared at Darwin Andrew viciously: "Now, you only have two choices, either cooperate with me and drive out the Spaniards, I don't care if you want to be president or president of the parliament, or you go to Baracoa, and I stay here to fight the Spaniards to the death, understand?" ”
Li Mu finally understood that it was useless to talk well to people like Darwin Andrew, what this kind of person was best at was to make peace with the mud, and then profit from it, but this kind of person himself has no ability, since Li Mu is now the financier of the Republic of Cuba, he must behave a little more arrogant, otherwise, Darwin Andrew may really dare to put Li Mu under house arrest.
"Mr. Ream, watch your attitude, this is Cuba!" Rayleigh Toynbee finally showed a bit of toughness.
"Shut up!" Li Mu angrily reprimanded Rayleigh Toynby, posing with a completely tearing face: "Look what you have done? I tell you very clearly now, if I lose all my investment in Cuba, I will definitely make you pay, whether you are in England or France, I will find you, let you live rather than die, if you don't believe it, you can try and see if the British or the French can protect you! ”
Li Mu doesn't want to be with Darwin Andrew's gang anymore, and he must be tough when he should be tough, otherwise Li Mu, the "gold master", will be too aggrieved.
Rayleigh Toynby didn't expect Li Mu to be so tough, although his face turned red, he couldn't answer a word in a dumbfounded voice.
"I'll repeat to you, no matter how much you toss, I want Guantanamo and Pine Island, and if I can't get these two places, then you'll be waiting to bear the wrath of all the Wall Street tycoons, and I can assure you that it will not taste good." Li Mu pulled the tiger skin and sang a big play, so he bet that Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee would not dare to tear their faces with Li Mu.
Li Mu bet right, from leaving the lounge to leaving the presidential palace, no one dared to stop Li Mu and Benjamin from leaving, and Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he got into the carriage, on the surface, Li Mu seemed to be calm and relaxed, but no one knew that Li Mu's underwear was already soaked.
"Reem, I just found out today, you are a real man!" Sitting in the carriage, Benjamin couldn't help but praise Li Mu.
When Darwin Andrew said that he wanted to take Li Mu and Benjamin as hostages, Benjamin's heart had already risen to his throat, but he didn't expect Li Mu to be furious, and Benjamin and Li Mu left the presidential palace unscathed, which made Benjamin really look at Li Mu differently.
The ups and downs of life are so exciting!
