This photo of Masayoshi Oshima quickly dominated the front pages of all the New York media.

The gloomy background, the broken windows, the gloomy faces of the soldiers, and the hateful eyes of the United States of America and the Japanese Government are full of danger and uncertainty.

Where Masayoshi Oshima can't see, there is also a broken rotten egg on the outer wall, with white egg whites and red egg yolks, just like the Japanese flag.

The headline on the front page of the New York Times was "The War Continues", and although the U.S. government and the Japanese government did not declare war, the photo of Masayoshi Oshima was indeed very symbolic.

After reading the newspaper, Arthur came to Governor's Island to visit Li Mu.

"What do you want to do? Urging the U.S. government and the Japanese government to declare war? In these extraordinary times, you need to calm down. Arthur disapproves of Li Mu's method of controlling public opinion, which makes Arthur feel out of control.

"It's not yours who died, and of course you won't have any pain, and if it was the New York City Police Department that was attacked, would you still say that?" Li Mu was dissatisfied with Arthur's attitude, and Li Mu thought that Arthur did not give him enough support in this matter.

Arthur and Li Mu have a good relationship, but this does not mean that Arthur will unconditionally support Li Mu to do anything, Arthur is the mayor of New York City, is a qualified politician, at this time Arthur will think more, comprehensively weigh the interests of all parties, and then make a due response.

Li Mu is different, Li Mu is the boss of Junma Group, and he only needs to be responsible for the employees of Junma Group, as for the life and death of others, this is not within Li Mu's consideration.

"I understand your feelings, someone really needs to pay for this at home, but not now, the Sasebo smokeless powder factory has exploded, and the Japanese have already paid the price, this matter should be over, just stop." Arthur bitterly did not want to see the conflict further intensify.

"If it was until the explosion at the Sasebo smokeless powder factory, then it would have been possible to stop in moderation, but not now, 15 people have died, 40 people have been injured, three of them need to have their limbs amputated, they will be permanently disabled, which means that dozens of families will be affected forever, if you want to stop now, the 100,000 employees of the ZAMA Group will definitely not say yes." Li Mu now has the confidence to make such a request.

Just last month, the ZAMA Group finally exceeded 100,000 employees, of which ZAMA Construction Company had the largest number of people, with more than 35,000 people on the roster, and then ZAMA Arms Company, including the Springfield Factory, New Haven Factory, and Hartford Factory, with a total of more than 20,000 employees, and then ZAMA Motors, ZAMA Electric, ZAMA Communications, as well as Budweiser Beer and Springfield Fried Chicken, the total number of registered employees has exceeded 100,000.

This number does not include Carnegie-Rim Steel, Mobil Oil, Bank of America, and other companies in which Li Mu has a stake.

Of course, this is just a paper number, the actual number is not so much, the horse group has begun to put people in Illinois and Ohio on a large scale, as long as they are willing to run the farm, they can get a lot of land from Li Mu at a low price, these land are near the railway, the transportation is convenient, the land is fertile, and the safety is relatively guaranteed, so many people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars to get the ownership of 100 acres of land from Li Mu.

Note that this is ownership, not management, and can be passed down from generation to generation.

Although the population is constantly diverging, including family members, the Junma Group still has only 100,000 employees on paper.

The ZAMA Group is the first company in the United States to employ more than 100,000 people, and Washington is preparing to hype about it.

Once Washington confirms this news, it also means that the Junma Group has become a benchmark in the American business community, and at the same time has given Li Mu a powerful talisman, as long as Li Mu does not commit treason in the future, no one can help Li Mu.

Li Mu talked about the scale of the enterprise, and even Arthur had to swallow his anger.

Merchants in Chinese society have always been fat pigs, and when they reach a certain level, they will face the fate of being slaughtered.

The United States is different, the United States is a capital-controlled country, and its huge population base represents a large number of votes, which no one dares to despise.

Especially for people like Arthur who want to make a difference in politics, a large enterprise like the Horse Group is the object of their attention no matter what.

So when Arthur faced Li Mu, he was extremely unconfident: "Of course, of course, I'm not saying that it's just that, it's just that now is not a good time to retaliate, Watanabe Shin was injured in an accident yesterday, you should know, and now this has become a diplomatic incident." ”

Arthur actually can't say it, as a diplomat, Watanabe Shin has diplomatic immunity, even if Watanabe Shin violates the US Constitution, the US government can only expel Watanabe Shin from the United States, but has no right to try in the United States, and now this kind of thing has happened, which is indeed unexplainable to Arthur.

"Yes, I heard about it, I heard that it was hurt by potatoes, I just regret it, why not a stone!" Li Muhao did not hide his hatred for the Japanese, even in front of Grant, Li Mu would say so.

Western society is relatively simple, although there are also intrigues and intrigues, but it only exists in a small number of people, for the vast majority of people, like is like, dislike is not like, love and hate are clear, never procrastinate.

Li Mu doesn't need to hide his attitude, because Li Mu will definitely not stop there, if he is like Watanabe Shin, what he says in his mouth is high-sounding, and he turns around and finds someone to smash black bricks, that kind of behavior is destined to be spurned by everyone.

"Nobu Watanabe has already boarded the train to Washington this morning, and this matter is now out of our reach, so Ream, at least in New York, be restrained, and you don't want New York to become Montana." Arthur came to Li Mu for a reason, at least Arthur could drag Li Mu and prevent Li Mu from going to trouble Watanabe Shin.

"I want to run, hehe..." Li Mu sneered, no matter whether Watanabe Shin took the train of the Vanderbilt family or Jay Gould's train, he didn't want to escape Li Mu's surveillance.

"You, what do you want to do?" Arthur was shocked, and then remembered the relationship between Li Mu and this gang of bigwigs.

In this matter, the bigwigs in Manhattan are definitely advancing and retreating together, as soon as the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold, as long as there is a war, they will have to hoard materials, they will have to mobilize armaments, and new orders will be generated, which is a happy thing.

As Li Mu expected, Watanabe Shin chose the Vanderbilt family's train to go to Washington.

In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the Vanderbilt family and the Stallion Group should be a life-and-death enemy, or at least a rival, because in the automotive industry, there is fierce competition between the two large groups, especially in the second round of the National Rally in Boston, which has just passed.

In this race, the Vanderbilt family team finished fourth, while the third and third places were both teams of the Kufner Group.

Although they still didn't finish on the podium, the Vanderbilt family team's results were much improved compared to the first race, which led William Vanderbilt to vow after the race that the Vanderbilt family team would be on the podium in the upcoming race in Washington, D.C., and the key was to beat the Stallion Group.

William Vanderbilt's oath convinced outsiders that the relationship between the Vanderbilt family and the Horse Group was indeed bad, and only insiders knew that the Vanderbilt Automobile Factory was actually a vassal of the Horse Automobile Factory, which had no meaning for the ranking in the car rally, but was just a product of coordination.

The speed of 30 kilometers per hour is definitely not fast, and it has nothing to do with the word "galloping", and it can't even catch up with horseback riding.

But to be able to run at 30 kilometers per hour all the time is awe-inspiring enough, especially for a politician like Nobu Watanabe.

Looking out the window at the rapidly receding bushes and the wild cattle in the field in the distance, Watanabe Shin's face was a little ugly, but he was still full of confidence: "If one day, we in the Great Japanese Empire can build such a railway network, then we don't have to flee New York in a hurry." ”

To be honest, if it weren't for such a low mood, Watanabe Nobu would have wanted to laugh at the Vanderbilt family.

The land on both sides of the railroad belonged to the Vanderbilt family, and just looking at the lush vegetation, Watanabe knew that the land was so fertile that if it was cultivated and sown with a handful of seeds, it would be a good harvest in the fall.

Thinking of this, Watanabe Shin felt sad.

Japan is a small country, but the Japanese have nothing to do and love to make people, so in order to feed such a large population, Japan uses every cent of land in the country to the extreme, and seeing that the United States has such fertile land but no one takes care of it, Watanabe Shin really feels wasteful.

But now I don't have time to sigh about this, now Watanabe Nobu and his entourage can only be described as "rushed", yesterday the crowd gathered in front of the Japanese Consulate in New York, until 10 o'clock in the evening, no one knows what kind of backhand the Horse Group has, tomorrow's retaliation will be more violent, so Watanabe Shin made a decision to evacuate New York overnight.

The embassy staff was already panicked, and Watanabe Shin's order was given, and before dawn, the staff had already packed their luggage, disposed of all the confidential documents, and were ready to board the train.

The Vanderbilt family was a former shipping giant, and the Japanese government bought a lot of scrap ships through the Vanderbilt family to dismantle steel, so Watanabe Shin and William Vanderbilt had a good relationship.

Through William Vanderbilt, Watanabe even got a special train, which somewhat restored the confidence of the embassy staff and kept them from collapsing.

Masayoshi Oshima, who didn't know that he had become famous, stood behind Nobu Watanabe, and the expression on his face was still unruly, although he was getting farther and farther away from New York, Masayoshi Oshima was still resentful in his heart.

Escaping New York in such an awkward manner was a standard shame for a true samurai, and if he could, Masayoshi Oshima would rather die on the battlefield than bear such a stigma.

Noticing Oshima's attitude, Watanabe Shin shook his head slightly: "Oshima-kun, the Chinese have a famous couplet, I will send it to you now, I hope you can have some understanding." ”

After Watanabe finished speaking, he came to the desk and splashed ink in one fell swoop.

Where there is a will, it turns out to be a ruin, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all.

Hard-working people live up to their salaries and taste the courage of 3,000 Yuejia can swallow Wu.

It must be said that Watanabe Shin's Chinese characters are written beautifully, much better than those written by Li Mu, a genuine Han Chinese.

This is also the sadness of Japan in the East Asian cultural circle, the influence of Han culture is too great, Japan as a single ethnic country, the vast majority of people speak Japanese, but there is no corresponding language, the official language of Japan is Chinese, whether it is the emperor's edict, or the title deed of the Shengdou Xiaomin, are written in Chinese.

As a member of the Japanese upper class, Watanabe Shin naturally writes Chinese characters very well, and even Watanabe Shin himself is proficient in Chinese, but few people know this.

This is not uncommon, many Japanese people can speak Chinese, and they have to be high enough and rich enough to know Chinese.

This couplet tells the story of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who are both representatives of the weak defeating the strong, who are constantly striving for self-improvement in adversity, and finally defeat powerful opponents and achieve their own hegemony. We are now facing the same situation, which can make our national strength weak and poor in resources, but we have a heart of self-improvement, as long as we work hard and everyone does their own work, then sooner or later our great Japanese empire will be prosperous and strong, all enemies will kneel in front of us and beg for mercy, we will become the strong in this world, and get the status that truly belongs to us. "Nobu Watanabe is pure and seductive, and the expectation hidden in his eyes is moving.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will take your teachings to heart." Masayoshi Oshima was grateful, and when he bowed, it was 90 degrees, and his upper body was already parallel to the floor.

At the Japanese Consulate in New York, Nobu Watanabe was a man of great authority, and he was adept at using a variety of methods to encourage morale, promote juniors, and solve problems for the embassy staff.

Watanabe was about to say a few more words of encouragement when a hurried and noisy sound of horses' hooves was heard, followed by a group of knights whipping their horses and swaying through the window.

The knights wore clothes sewn from animal skins, feathers on their heads, and colorful oil paint on their faces, and the point was that they all carried weapons, and they all seemed to be very advanced, either pistols or shotguns.

"Indians?" Masayoshi Oshima exclaimed in surprise, and a deep uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.

The train has now left New York State and is running on Pennsylvania soil, which has not been seen since at least 50 years ago, although it was once a paradise for Indians.
