It turns out that for a government that is rotten to the bone, it is really much easier to tear down and rebuild than to set things right. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

If this was the United States, maybe Li Mu and Benjamin would have taken the right medicine, but this is Cuba, and for the two Americans, they really don't need to have too many scruples.

In just one day, Santiago changed its flag, a red flag embroidered with sickles and axes was raised at the head of the city, and the name of the country was changed from "Republic of Cuba" to "United States of Cuba".

The change from the "Republic of Cuba" to the "United States of Cuba" was the idea of Sylvester López, who wanted to express his loyalty to the United States of America.

And "Scythe Axe" is purely Li Mu's prank, Li Mu is looking forward to seeing the scene of "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Scythe Axe" fighting side by side one day, which must be very happy.

Well, except for Li Mu, probably no one else will get any pleasure from it.

After a simple ceremony, the United States of Cuba was proclaimed, and Sylvester López was elected President of the United States of Cuba without any suspense, and Sylvester López's first executive order after taking office was to appoint Nelson Morris as Prime Minister of the United States of Cuba and authorize Nelson Morris to form a new government.

At the same time, George Dewey was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Supreme Armed Forces of the United States of Cuba, and Ricardo González was appointed Minister of Finance of the United States of Cuba.

Oh, Ricardo Gonzalez is Morgan's spokesman in Cuba, and on the day of the coup, Ricardo approached Li Mu and asked Li Mu to confirm whether the previous national debt was valid.

After all, the Republic of Cuba no longer exists, so it's normal for Ricardo to have this concern.

While confirming the validity of the previous $8 million treasury bonds, Li Mu asked Morgan to continue to issue $5 million treasury bonds as the start-up capital for the new government.

This time, Morgan did not bargain, not only agreed to Li Mu's request, but also prepared to issue an additional three million as the support of the Morgan consortium for the United States of Cuba.

In order to dispel Morgan's doubts, Li Mu instructed Sylvester to appoint Ricardo as Minister of Finance to show his sincerity.

Well, Li Mu really doesn't need to fight the idea of this national debt anymore, the benefits of the coup are beyond imagination, for three days after the coup began, Li Mu has been hiding in the San Diego military camp and has not gone out, supervising Raul and leading a group of housekeepers to count Li Mu's income in the past few days.

Raul is Li Mu's housekeeper, and the inventory of property really needs Raul to come out, and Li Mu can't do it, after all, Li Mu's income not only includes a huge number of precious metals, but also includes a variety of valuable artworks, and the valuation of these works of art needs Raul to carry out.

In the nineteenth century, housekeepers were not only good at serving people, they had to be proficient in etiquette, good at shopping, familiar with financial knowledge, they had to know everything about the family, and even had a certain management ability, they had to be able to manage other servants and security personnel, and they were proficient in the identification and preservation of handicrafts was naturally one of the responsibilities of the housekeeper.

With the outbreak of the coup d'état, more housekeepers lost their jobs, and Raul set up a five-person housekeeper team for Li Mu without much effort in the past few days, and after they finished counting Li Mu's harvest, they would be sent to Guantanamo, Springfield, New York and other places to guard Li Mu's property.

Li Mu originally had no property in New York, but just last month, Samuel began reclaiming land on the Manhattan Peninsula and buying properties near Battery Park in an effort to create an unparalleled nest for the Horse Collective in Manhattan.

Li Mu's home in New York is in Battery Park, and the Immigration Bureau, which originally worked in the castle, has moved to Queens, and according to the agreement between Li Mu and Arthur, one of the four castles will be preserved, and the other three will be demolished to build the headquarters of the Horse Investment Company, the Horse Arms Company, and Time Magazine.

Li Mu agreed to Arthur's request, but when signing the contract, Li Mu kept an eye on it, although he wanted to keep Clinton Castle, but Arthur did not indicate the purpose of Clinton Castle in the contract, so Li Mu was ready to redecorate Clinton Castle as Li Mu's home in New York.

Before being sent to various places, these future stewards had only one task, and that was to first light up Li Mu's gains in this coup.

As the back-the-scenes financier of the coup, Li Mu only spent $100,000 to acquire all the plantations and mines owned by Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee, and this harvest alone was worth all the investment.

How big were the mines owned by Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee?

In fact, there are not much, almost the entire Maestra Mountain, and most of the Pugliar Mountain, Li Mu only paid 100,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to taking most of the southeast corner of Cuba Island.

Incidentally, this area occupies 70 per cent of the area currently controlled by the United States of Cuba.

In addition to the mines and plantations, there were also a large number of precious metals, including gold coins filled twelve chests with a total weight of about 1,400 kilograms, silver piled up in two storerooms, the total weight of which cannot be calculated for the time being, and a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, many of which were from the European Renaissance.

According to rough estimates, Li Mu has harvested more than 10 million US dollars in property in the past few days, and if this money is used for the operation of the Republic of Cuba, according to the level before the coup d'état, it will be enough to keep the Republic of Cuba running until the next century.

People die for money, birds die for food, and they work hard to fight with the sky, the earth, and people, so why bother.

Of course, not all of these properties belong to Li Mu, Li Mu also has to share the profits with Benjamin, George, and Mahan, and even Sylvestre.

This is not a problem, Li Mu has always been very generous to his own people, and when it is time to pay, Li Mu is not stingy.

On June 1, Li Mu summoned relevant people to share the spoils equally.

Eh, this word is really uncivilized, it should be said that Li Mu summoned his friends to share the joy of victory.

"Ten million dollars—that is, we'll each get about two million dollars—" Benjamin was the first to react when Li Mu finished announcing the number.

George Dewey looked at Li Mu in a daze, forgetting to swallow the barbecue in his mouth, Mahan's attention finally shifted from the notes in front of him to Li Mu's face, looking at Li Mu's eyes full of incredulity, Sylvester has a good psychological quality, but he is also obviously full of eating speed.

"Yes, two million-" Li Mu did not object to Benjamin's distribution method, although it seemed that the distribution ratio should be determined according to the size of the output, but compared to the future achievements of these people at the table, Li Mu was willing to spend this money to befriend them.

For example, George Dewey, who is the only special general in the United States, how much does it cost to get George Dewey's friendship?

It seems that this problem does not need to be measured, and in the future, George Dewey can say a word to help the Junma Arms Company in arms procurement, and all of Li Mu's investment will be recovered.

For example, Mahan, the only strategic master in the United States in the future, whose "Theory of Sea Power" is still in play even in the 21st century, wants to "share the spoils" with such a person, isn't it worth two million dollars?

Totally worth it!

Another example is Benjamin, this is the future president of the United States, himself from a famous family, and it is impossible for such a person to use two million dollars to pull people into the water if he wants to use two million dollars in another twenty years.

And besides, Sylvester, the current president of the United States of Cuba, is it too much to give him two million now?

Not much at all, in the future, with the military progress of the United States of Cuba, Sylvester will give back to Li Mu countless two million.

"This--this is not good, I think this money should be handed over to the treasury-" Mahan finally came to his senses and made a hated offer.

"Shut up and look at your notebook!" Sylvester didn't dare to speak, but Li Mu and the three of them roared almost at the same time.

Surrender to the treasury?

To that treasury?

American?

This has nothing to do with the U.S. government.

So give it to the Republic of Cuba?

Please, the treasury of the Republic of Cuba before the day of the coup d'état could not even feed rats.

"Why don't we set up a company and use the money for investment in Cuba—" Benjamin suggested in a plausible way.

Think about it, Li Mu only spent 100,000 US dollars to buy almost two mountains, so 10 million-

God, I could buy almost the entire island of Cuba.

This politician's heart is simply boundless, and Li Mu is a pure and kind white rabbit compared to him.

"We should procure armaments, drive the Spaniards out of Cuba first, and create an independent United States of Cuba, and I believe we will be able to recoup this investment tenfold and hundredfold." George Dewey's starting point was still military, which may sound more feasible, but it was still not out of the realm of investment.

"Mr. President, your suggestion?" Li Mu didn't let go of Sylvester, this was a good opportunity to test his loyalty.

"My suggestion - that replenishment of armaments must be necessary, that we must get rid of the Spaniards before we can guarantee our returns, and that we should set up an investment company so that we can get what we want, and of course, if we want to gain more favor, then it is better to put some of them in the treasury, at least that will give the staff of the new government more peace of mind, and of course, from my personal point of view, it would be better for each person to get a little return first-" Sylvester said in a big circle, None of them can be offended.

See, when a politician is also talented, why don't leaders speak first when they meet?

are waiting for the final summary, otherwise, how can it show that the leader has considered the problem comprehensively?
