490 The mouth is so hard

Li Mu only received the relevant battle report on the third day after the end of the Battle of Nassau.

On the night of June 22, the vicious Redbeard gathered more than 300 pirates and launched a surprise attack on the port of Nassau.

The Nassau Governor's Mansion was unprepared for pirate attacks, and the sailors on merchant ships in the harbor were forced to take up arms to defend themselves, and after killing dozens of pirates, the pirates with heavy losses shifted their targets to Nassau City, where they were in service, and nearly 600 civilians in Nassau City died in the battle from Nassau Governor Sean Bradley, and the 150-man guard of the Governor's House did nothing in the face of the pirates' frantic attack, and they scattered as soon as they fought, which led to the final death of Sean Bradley.

The armed merchant ships of the San Diego Investment Company, the Water Hound and the Great White Shark, arrived in Nassau after dawn, and faced with the port of Nassau, which had been burned by Redbeard, the Water Hound had to return to Guantanamo, and only then did the tragedy in Nassau Harbor inform the British government.

"Do you think the British will believe such a report?" J· P. Morgan was a little big, holding his head at a loss.

J· When P. Morgan promised that Pastor Lee would put pressure on Washington, he never imagined that things would turn out to be where they are today.

In J· In P. Morgan's view, this report is indeed full of loopholes, and with the character of the British, it will certainly not give up.

"Of course the British won't believe it, Redbeard is British, Sean Bradley is also British, they may use each other, but if you want to talk about cannibalism, let alone the British, even I don't believe it." Li Mu said very frankly, to put it bluntly, this report was deliberately thrown out by Li Mu to disgust the British, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the British will definitely investigate anyway.

Of course, even if the British had sent a mission now, and by the time the mission arrived in Nassau, it would already be July, and they would not have found anything.

In Li Mu's report, Sean Bradley was dead, Redbeard had disappeared without a trace, the Governor's Palace Guard had lost seven hundred and eighty-eight on the night of the war, and the rest of the people could not provide any valid information at all, and even if the British wanted to investigate, they had to find evidence first.

Panama is tropical, and July is the hottest season of the year, and when corpses are not disposed of in time, they can easily cause plague.

The Water Hound and Jaws are working to help the surviving people of Nassau rebuild their homes, including cleaning up the dead before Nassau will become a dead city in a few days.

There were no witnesses, and there was no physical evidence, and the British, if they wanted to know what had happened on the night of June 22, had to get Sherlock Holmes out of it.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry, but Conan Doyle hasn't started writing Sherlock Holmes yet...

"Really, you are so unscrupulous, are you not afraid of the anger of the British?" J· P. Morgan felt that the situation was out of his control, and to be honest, J. Morgan felt that the situation was out of his control. P. Morgan didn't feel that this was so unexpected, as long as Li Mu was involved, it was easy for some accidents to happen. P. Morgan is used to it.

"Cut! The British had already used even pirates, so could they declare war directly on the United States because of this? There are British people in the first year of junior high school, there is my fifteenth, and they are the ones who broke the rules of the game first, so don't blame me for being ruthless now. "Manhattan is run like an iron bucket by Li Mu, and Li Mu is really not worried about the retaliation of the British.

If the British had a follow-up method, it would have given Li Mu and the British a reason to fight to the end.

"I initially thought you were just trying to deal with pirates, but I didn't expect your target to be whining, or the entire Bahamas, isn't your appetite a little too big?" J· P. Morgan felt like he was on a thief ship, but unfortunately he couldn't get off the ship now.

Looking at Li Mu's arrangement, it is indeed one link after another, first seducing Redbeard out, using Redbeard to attack Nassau Harbor, and then the sailors of the San Diego Investment Company took over...

J· P. Morgan had reason to suspect that perhaps Shaun Bradley, the governor of Nassau, was killed by Li Mu. P. Morgan will not ask Li Mu to verify this, and even if he asks, Li Mu will never admit it.

It would be better if the Bahamas were terra nullius, although the Bahamas did not have a high status in the British Commonwealth, but after all, it was a British territory in the pure sense, and the British would certainly not give it up easily, especially after the British suffered this big loss.

In terms of the value of the Bahamas alone, in a few decades, it is possible that the British will voluntarily abandon the Bahamas, given that there are no gold mines, no oil, and no necessary population.

It's hard to say now, even if Sean Bradley can't do it again, it is the Governor of Nassau appointed by the Queen of England herself, and dying in Nassau for such an unknown reason is equivalent to a slap in the face of the Queen of England, if no one is responsible for this, then the Commonwealth team will not be easy to bring in the future.

"No, no, no, you're wrong, my purpose is Redbeard, Sean Bradley was killed by Redbeard, and the sailors of the San Diego Investment Company protected the civilians of Nassau, I don't have any interest in Nassau or the Bahamas, and the expansion of territory should be a state act, not done by me as a businessman." Li Mu's expression was serious, indicating that this pot brother resolutely did not carry it.

At this point, Li Mu's attitude is resolute, no matter who asks, Li Mu will resolutely refuse to admit it.

As long as Li Mu and the Junma Group abide by the law, Washington will provide due protection for Li Mu and the Junma Group.

If Li Mu expresses interest in Nassau Harbor or the Bahamas, then Washington will definitely be wary of Li Mu, and this will not be worth the loss.

Li Mu didn't plan to be the king, even if the king could marry as many wives as he wanted, no one cared, and Li Mu didn't want to try.

Of course, in the United States, if you just want to marry a few more wives, it is not impossible to do it, such as Mormonism, as long as Li Mu announces his conversion to Mormonism, then no matter how many wives Li Mu marries, no one cares, and Washington's attitude at that time is at most not publicity.

At Li Mu's level, marrying a few wives is no longer the focus of the public's attention, ordinary people can still have lovers, even if Li Mu makes a lot of romantic affairs, it is just to add a little lace news to people after dinner, and the newspapers are too lazy to report it.

Don't dare to report ...

Although J· P. Morgan didn't even believe in the punctuation marks that Li Mu said, but J· P. Morgan also couldn't confirm that no one knew what happened that night except Li Mu, so J· P. Morgan can only hope that Li Mu's mouth will always be so tight.

Of course, Li Mu's tone was very tight, and when facing Sherman, Li Mu still said the same thing.

Sherman had come to Li Mu as Ulysses Grant's envoy, and Washington had sent an official note to the Nassau governor's palace about Redbeard, which had become a hot potato, and Ulysses Grant was eager to know what was going on.

In the face of Sherman, Li Mu was still resolute and gave a chance to make peace with J· P. Morgan said exactly the same thing.

"You mean Redbeard killed Sean Bradley, and then your men killed Redbeard... Do you think anyone will believe this statement? Sherman was also unconvinced, and his gaze at Li Mu was full of contempt.

Li Mu spread his hands and did not respond to such questions.

J· P. Morgan is a partner of Li Mu, and Li Mu can do something to J· P. Morgan was patient, but for Sherman, Li Mu did not have much patience at all, even if Sherman was representing Ulysses Grant.

What happened to the president?

The president is also elected by everyone with one person, one vote, and Li Mu's biggest reliance in his hands now is the vote, if there is no support from Li Mu and the Junma Group, Ulysses Grant wants to be re-elected for a third time is a fool's dream.

Of course, it is not easy for Ulysses Grant to be re-elected now, but at least with Li Mu's support, it is still relatively likely.

"So what are you going to do next? Let your people control Nassau? Sherman is also helpless in the face of Li Mu, not to mention that Sherman has no evidence to prove that Sean Bradley was murdered by Li Mu, even if there is evidence, can Sherman take action against Li Mu?

Don't be funny, without the support of other Wall Street tycoons, it would be impossible to deal with Li Mu, but would be counterattacked by Li Mu.

Like the former Minister of War Berknapp, Sherman is also a confidant of Ulysses Grant, and a general election will be held next year, and if Ulysses Grant cannot be re-elected, then maybe Sherman will also go to the Horse Arms Company as a consultant like Bernap, so it is not a good idea to offend Li Mu at this time.

"Of course not, in fact now I am ready to order my men to leave Nassau... If you want it, now is a good opportunity..."Li Mu slammed down, behaving like a desireless internationalist warrior.

"What am I going to do in Nassau? If now the US Navy appears in Nassau, then a war will definitely be provoked. "Sherman is not confused, even if a soldier needs military merit to make a career, military merit is not such a way to make a profit.

The British are now like wounded wolves, staring at everyone with blood-red eyes, trying to find a target to breathe a bad breath, and at this time the US Navy goes to Nassau, which is an effect of directly declaring war.

"It's good to fight, I'm an arms dealer, and you're a soldier, so we should all like war, you're not a pacifist, you'll be able to achieve a lot of bones..."

The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come...

"It's true that I want war, but I don't want an inexplicable war, and I'm not a pacifist, but I won't let my children waste their lives innocently..."

"Come on, don't say it so nicely, do you dare to say this in front of an Atlanta?" Li Mu didn't believe it at all, in the face of his compatriots, Sherman could kill without hesitation, let alone any benevolence, righteousness and morality with this person.

"It's a time of war, and you have to make everyone feel your determination, and you have to make them feel the end of their resistance, so that the war can end as soon as possible." It is clear that Sherman does not think that he has done anything wrong, and from the position of the Northern Army, Sherman is indeed not wrong.

"Okay, dear William, I'm going to have lunch with Mr. Arthur later, would you like to come along?" Li Mu wanted to end the conversation and casually sent an invitation to Sherman.

Entertaining Sherman didn't have to worry about Li Mu, Will was sitting in the garden, and he just had something to communicate with the Minister of War.

"No, no, no, you haven't told me how I should reply to Mr. President." Sherman was very dissatisfied with Li Mu's explanation, and by analogy, it is estimated that Ulysses Grant would not be satisfied with this explanation either.

"Come on William, don't dwell on this matter, some questions will never be answered, such as how Redbeard came out, and such as the relationship between Redbeard and Sean Bradley..."

"You mean Redbeard and Sean Bradley—" Sherman wasn't sure, his beard looking curly, like a question mark.

"Yes, according to the information I have gotten, they must know each other, maybe not as close as the relationship between the two of us, but they are definitely not enemies." Li Mu almost said that Redbeard and Sean Bradley were in cahoots and were complicit.

"Where did you get the information?" Sherman was still skeptical, but relatively speaking, with this news, he could already fool Ulysses Grant.

"It doesn't matter where I got the news, you just need to know it's true." Li Mu didn't want to say too much, Li Mu could be sure that the British probably didn't want this matter to make a fuss, so the final result of this matter was likely to be over.

Although the ancestors of the British Royal Navy were pirates, but since they have successfully cleared their hands on the shore, they naturally do not want to have any contact with pirates, and now the British are most fortunate that Redbeard's identity has not been exposed, otherwise it will be a big scandal.

Li Mu's purpose was to make the British uncomfortable, so the more the British wanted to avoid it, the more Li Mu had to press it step by step.

Li Mu now has conclusive evidence of Redbeard's identity, and when the time is right, Li Mu will make it public.

Stone and Henderson are not dead, they were both captured by the Sea Ranger and are now being held on Isle of Juventud.
