The contradictions between the Indians and the whites were irreconcilable, and the land was the focus of all the contradictions.

The Indians advocate freedom, peace, these two words actually have many ways to interpret, another meaning of freedom is to rely on the sky to eat, not to do farming, since hunting and picking fruits can fill the belly, then why bother to work hard between heaven and earth, before the white people came to the Americas, no one can threaten the Indians, so this way of life of the Indians has lasted for countless years.

The same is true of peace, there are many hunters and samurai among the Indians, these people are advocating force, except hunting, they have no other life skills, when the pasture becomes a farm, when the grassland is planted with crops, the area for the samurai to hunt is getting smaller and smaller, and violent conflicts will follow, at this time, since they can't fight, they can only love peace.

The land contradiction is so acute that the U.S. government is forced to implement a reservation system in order to ease it.

The so-called reservation system, in fact, is similar to the concentration camp, that is, the Indian tribes are confined to a specified area, and the whites cannot enter at will, and the Indians cannot leave at will, and the contradictions between the whites and the Indians are alleviated by this artificial segregation.

The idea is good, but there will always be differences in actual implementation, the United States also has policies and countermeasures, the reservation system is specific to the states, and there are still many problems when it is implemented, taking the Comanche people in the central plains as an example, before 1865 they had 300 million acres of hunting land, and two years later, the Comanche reservation was only about 3 million acres, this speed truly reflects the anxiety and crisis of the Indians in the face of white expansion.

Li Mu is going to fight now is this idea, although the Comanche reservations are left, Li Mu did not catch up with the feast, but in Iowa, in Missouri, in Kansas, there are countless Indian reservations, even if Li Mu does not interfere, these reservations will be swallowed by the white whales in the next few years, if the Indians will definitely lose those lands, Li Mu hopes that these lands will be inherited by the Chinese.

At least, the Chinese, like the Indians, have black hair and yellow skin.

At the end of May, Li Mu and Rockefeller returned to New York, and through Arthur, Li Mu met George Menibeni, the Commissioner for Federal Indian Affairs.

"The Indians are simply untamable, they are stubborn, they are ignorant, they never try to accept any advanced way of life, they are blindly immersed in the ancient hunting and tribal warfare, they are unwilling to leave their place of residence, they are not willing to settle, and many Indians think that settlement will make them die-" George Menipene looked depressed at the mention of his work, the Indian Commissioner was considered the most unpromising job in the Union, and was scolded for doing well and even more for not doing well.

Li Mu had never even been in contact with the Indians and was not qualified to evaluate the work of George Menibeni, but when he heard George Menibeni's first words, Li Mu knew the root cause of why the United States had not solved the problem of Indians until now.

Tame!

What creatures will be tamed?

Hunting dogs, poultry, or circus animal stars, can humans use the term "tame"?

But this is also normal, like many stubborn white racists nowadays, who believe that black people should not exist, and that the existence of black people is a blasphemy against God.

Well, fortunately, no one looks at the Chinese like this now, or no one dares to say this in front of Li Mu, otherwise Li Mu would definitely let him know the consequences of offending the Chinese.

We used a lot of methods to try to get the Indians to accept the settled life, they could not produce the means of subsistence, the Federation implemented rationing, distributed the necessities to them free of charge, they were not willing to work, the Federation gave them annuities, so that they had money to buy wine and find women, but those Indians were still not satisfied, they were willing to accept the materials and pensions allocated by the Federation, but they were not willing to settle, there was never anything in the world that did not work for nothing, those Indians probably took the federal government for fools, In fact, if you want me to say, some of the guys who make policies are fools, and they don't necessarily treat their parents well with Indians. "Probably because no one usually pays attention to George Menipeni's work, so when he finally has someone to talk to, George Menipene talks endlessly.

Li Mu played the perfect listener, not talking much, not commenting, not expressing his position, but from time to time with the help of tone particles to sigh, so that George Menipene had more desire to vent.

Li Mu doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean that others don't take a stand, Li Mu and George Menipene met in the lobby on the first floor of the beach club, which is an open space, and several members of the beach club were also present, listening to George Menipeni's complaints, a businessman named Larry Gibson couldn't bear it: "Then we should kill them all, damn politicians, they should have their heads stuffed into their stuff with our taxes to feed the Indians-"

Uh, well, in fact, many people have not received higher education these days, and it is normal for exports to be dirty, but what makes Li Mu embarrassed is that Larry Gibson is a raw material supplier to the Horse Arms Company, and most of the wood used by the Horse Arms Company is purchased from Larry Gibson's company, which is very embarrassing.

"I wouldn't be happy if I were an Indian, I've been to Byham, where the reservation is fenced around and guarded with guns, and Indians are like living in cages." Another businessman, Dick Raymond, who was also a supplier to the Horse Group and supplied leather to the Stallion Factory, picked up.

What Li Mu didn't expect was that New York also had an Indian reservation, but Byham was located in the Appalachian Mountains, and although Li Mu hadn't been there, he could imagine the scene of Byram.

There are also many Indian reservations in the eastern part of the United States, large and small, scattered in the eastern states, and the living conditions of the Indians in the reservations are probably similar to the Palestinians in the 21st century.

"Yes, it seems that the Indians are in a bad situation, but we are not to blame, so what can we do? The Indians refused to integrate with us, they still don't recognize the federal government, in their eyes, we are robbers, we are thieves, can you tolerate unrestricted immigration of blacks to the United States? "Georges Menipeni was eloquent and did not think he had done anything wrong.

Well, few Americans think that the federal government's attitude towards the Indians is wrong, and when it comes to the Indians, all non-Indians have a vested interest, so everyone has the same attitude, and that's the political correctness of the nineteenth century.

"Is there no other way than violence that can be accepted by the Indians? The Indians like to graze and hunt, and that's no problem, we also have pastures, can't we guide the Indians to graze? Li Mu tried to find an entry point, after all, regardless of whether the Indians were related to the Chinese or not, Li Mu couldn't bear to see the Indians fall to the point they are now.

In the United States, the Chinese and the Indians are both ethnic minorities, and although there is no such thing as a "minority" in the United States, if the Chinese want to strive for a status that is not discriminated against, they must unite all the forces that can be united, and Li Mulian can accept the blacks, and it is not impossible to accept the Indians.

Of course, the acceptance here is limited to cooperation, and does not involve other aspects, and aesthetically speaking, black people do not meet Li Mu's requirements.

"The Indians like bison because they can hunt as they please, but that doesn't mean that the Indians will graze, and if they can accept it, they won't be locked in cages." George Menibeni laughed, if only the problem could be solved so simply, the federal government is not stupid, such a simple solution, it is impossible not to try.

Bison is a necessary condition for the survival of the Indians, most of the time, the Indians are to hunt bison for a living, before the white people came to the American continent, there are many bison in the American continent, the bison may reach two meters tall, more than three meters five meters long, weigh more than one ton, and the speed can reach 60 kilometers per hour when sprinting with all their might, which is like a running train in the wild environment.

It is estimated that the number of American bison may reach up to 65 million, and although the Indians hunted bison, the large base of bison could ensure the breeding of bison populations, and the overall bison population did not decline on a large scale until the arrival of whites on the American mainland.

In order to cut off the basis of the survival of the Indians, the development of the Midwest in the United States was accompanied by the extermination of bison, in the United States, the bison in the southern states have been basically slaughtered, the number of northern bison is declining sharply, if the situation is not improved, then it will not be long before the Indians have no food source, but the bison will also disappear.

"You can teach them to herd if you don't know how to herd, and I'm sure they must prefer limited freedom to being in a cage, uh, forget it, what does that have to do with me." Li Mu did not believe that the relationship between the Indians and the United States was irreconcilable, and that the Ryukyuan and the Japanese could respect each other as if they were guests, and the Indians were no exception.

"George, why don't you let Rim deal with the Indians, Rim must be more competent than you." Larry Gibson laughed too, and while it sounds like a joke, it's not impossible to think about it.

In the beach club, Li Mu has never lacked praise, everyone is a smart person, so they can naturally hear what Li Mu means, Li Mu's personal ability is obvious, at least better than George Menipelli.

"That's good, of course, but I'm afraid Mr. Ream isn't interested." George Menibeni also laughed, he didn't feel embarrassed, but a little honored, not everyone is qualified to be compared with Li Mu.

"Hehe, I'm not really interested in the Indians, but I'm interested in the Indian reservations, I've heard Will talk about Montana, where there are endless pastures besides the gold mines, and if I could, I'd rather be a cowboy, and that life would be much more interesting than in the office." Li Mu said this really hateful, just like someone said that I was not interested in money, but no one dared to laugh at Li Mu, everyone laughed, and only regarded this as a joke.

Although, the joke is actually not very funny.

"Speaking of reservations, Mr. Ream, if you're really interested, then I have a job here that you have to do." George Menipene knows how to push the boat, he is sixty years old this year, and befriending a rich man like Li Mu may bring good luck to George Menipeni.

"Tell me about it." Li Mu is careless, just like wasting time as he wants, and he is idle anyway.

"Regarding the management of the reservation, you may not know, Mr. Ream, Dick said just now that there are people in charge of security affairs on the reservation, not only to prevent white people from entering by mistake, but also to prevent Indians from escaping, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs has a special force in charge of this, the number of people is about 2,000, in order to maintain this force, the Bureau of Indian Affairs will spend nearly 3 million dollars a year on this, Mr. Reem, if you want, you can take charge of this work, I know Mr. Reem you have the ability." George Menibeni's entry point is good, and the whole United States knows that Li Mu has a large number of mercenaries in his hands, so this matter really belongs to Li Mu.

In fact, this matter is not easy to say, even if a 2,000-strong army only needs 100 US dollars per person per month, in that year, the salary of 2,000 people alone will need 2.4 million, plus other expenses, 3 million US dollars a year is really not much.

However, this matter should also be looked at separately, after all, there is not much danger in being responsible for the security of the reservation, so the salary of the mercenary can be appropriately low, and it does not need to be too professional, then the cost will be further reduced, and if there are other benefits to the job, then it will be more cost-effective.

"Is it just security management, or is it security incidental management?" Li Mu has requirements, although there are overlapping responsibilities between safety and management, the two are still different, and the difference is big.

"Right now, it's just about security, but if it could be better with incidental management, then the cost could be further increased." George Menipene had a surprise, $3 million was just a security expense, and management was another way, in a sense, the Bureau of Indian Affairs spent more money on management, and as for the effect-

Hehe!

If you look at the current situation of the American Indians, you can see the efficiency of the management of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
