On April 1, Li Mu and his entourage took the cruise ship "Queen Elizabeth" of the New York Atlantic Cargo Company and went south along the east coast of the United States, and on April 6, the "Queen Elizabeth" arrived in El Ramón, Cuba, which is the base camp of the Republic of Cuba.

In 19th-century Cuba, there was no salsa, no three-stringed guitar, no white-sand beaches, only vicious colonizers, and the world-famous Cuban cigars.

When Li Mu saw Céspedes, Céspedes was holding a thick Cuban cigar.

Carlos Manuel de Céspedes was born in Bayamo, Cuba in 1819, and is in his fifties this year.

It's a pity that Li Mu didn't feel how much aura Cespedes had, Li Mu's first impression of Cespedes was a bit funny, which stemmed from Cespedes's beard, Cespedes's beard was trimmed very personally, and the beards on both sides of the chin were trimmed cleanly, only a dense "one vertical" was left in the middle, which was very eye-catching to look at the mountain.

I don't know how much time Cespedes spends on this beard every day in order to ensure this feature, anyway, in Li Mu's opinion, it's not worth it, having such a personalized beard is too eye-catching, and the Spaniards can recognize Cespedes as long as they are not blind.

Of course, the current Céspedes definitely does not think that he will have nothing until next year, and when he met Li Mu, Céspedes was very excited, which means that Li Mu brought aid from the United States, which made Cespedes more confident to drive away the Spaniards.

"Ream, welcome to Cuba, and soon you will know that the people and the land are friendly, that we treat our friends wholeheartedly, and that you will feel at home here." Cespedes said very politely, holding Li Mu's hand and not letting go, fully conveying his kindness and excitement.

"Thank you, Mr. President, on behalf of President Grant, I would like to pay you the highest tribute, because it is because of your kindness and courage, Mr. President, that the Cuban people have been united against the Spaniards, and that you are destined to go down in history, and that it is my honor to fight alongside you." Li Mu is also polite, and he is very skilled in clichés.

"Come, allow me to introduce you to General Rayleigh Toynbee, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Cuba." Cespedes began to introduce the welcoming crowd on the shore, and Li Mu took the initiative to reach out and give Cespedes face.

"Welcome, Reem, I heard that you have brought a lot of officers with you, and I hope they can help the Republic of Cuba train an invincible army." Toynby was very polite, and the half-bow posture made Li Mu feel very useful.

You don't have to think about it to know that the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Republic of Cuba is not in a good mood, and Li Mu came over with the officer corps, obviously to seize power, and Toynbee has a reason to be unhappy.

"Thank you, it's an honor to fight alongside you." Li Mu plans to only say this sentence today, hoping that few people are worthy of being introduced by Cespedes.

There are indeed very few who have introduced Rayleigh Toynby, and Céspedes has followed up with Vice President Caspar Hardy, National Assembly Darvin Andrew, and Supreme Court Justice Arthur Robbins.

For Hardy, Andrew, and Robbins, Li Mu paid special attention to them, if Li Mu remembered correctly, it should be these people who conspired to remove Cespedes, and then deprived Cespedes of his guards, and finally sent Cespedes to the Spaniards.

shook hands with a group of dignitaries of the Republic of Cuba one by one, Li Mu introduced Benjamin, George Dewey, and Mahan to Cespedes, and Cespedes also welcomed them, especially Benjamin, for this second ancestor, Cespedes was extremely enthusiastic, even a little extraordinary, which made Li Mu feel that Cespedes was really not very discerning.

When Li Mu said the surname "Harrison", Céspedes' eyes lit up obviously, and then he threw Li Mu aside and shook hands with Benjamin for two minutes, so that George Dewey, who was waiting for Li Mu's introduction, was a little embarrassed.

This is tragic, in fact, in Li Mu's plan, the military support for the Republic of Cuba is mainly in charge of George Dewey, Mahan is responsible for assisting as a staff officer, and Benjamin is just Li Mu's playmate.

He deserves to be regarded as a fool and calculated!

After a little greeting on the dock, Cespedes invited Li Mu and his party to the military camp in El Ramon, where Cespedes prepared a welcome banquet for Li Mu and his party.

Although the Cubans opposed the colonial rule of the Spaniards, it was also thanks to the long rule of the Spaniards that Cuba had a relatively complete road transportation network.

After getting into the carriage, George Dewey sighed in a low voice: "I finally know why you don't like Cespedes now, let such a guy be president, I don't think this Republic of Cuba is any better." ”

"Don't care about Cespedes' attitude, this guy is just a decoration, you have to pay attention to Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynby, if I'm not mistaken, these two guys are the most powerful people in the Republic of Cuba, as for Céspedes, I guess this guy has long been hollowed out." Li Mu has been observing since he came ashore, and he will not hesitate to share his observations.

"We've only been ashore for less than an hour, and you can tell?" Benjamin was a little incredulous.

"Hehe-"

"Hmph—" George Dewey and Mahan each mocked Benjamin, who was still confused, in their own way.

"Just as Céspedes shook hands with you, Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee had a rich eye contact behind Céspedes, Rayleigh Toynbee wanted to remind Céspedes, but was stopped by Darwin Andrew, Céspedes is the president of the Republic of Cuba, although Rayleigh Toynbee is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, but he is also subject to Cespedes's control, if Cespedes is very prestigious, Rayleigh Toynbee will never dare to interfere with Cespedes." Li Mu gave his own reasons, and then gave his own speculation by the way: "If you don't believe it, then you just wait, when you have dinner, or in the evening, at most no more than tomorrow, Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee will definitely take the initiative to find you." ”

"What are they looking for me for?" Benjamin was still confused.

"Oh my God, what did you learn from a group of politicians?" Li Mu disliked Benjamin more and more.

George Dewey and Mahan also pouted their disdain, much to Benjamin's chagrin.

"Think about it, your ancestors signed the Continental Declaration, your grandfather was president, your father was a congressman, you have the highest military rank among us, and now you are a general, so if my guess is correct, the Cuban gang is taking you as the leader, Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toynbee if they want to replace Cespedes, then they will definitely test your tone first, they definitely don't want to replace Cespedes and then lose the aid from the United States - well, you can take this opportunity to knock on the money, But remember to give my brother a few profits, if you dare to swallow it alone, don't blame me for finding more than a dozen Cuban beauties for you to ****, and it is estimated that you will not have the face to find a field for you at that time. "Li Mu is also a money skewer, and he didn't forget to give his brother a few extra money when he analyzed.

Ma Han didn't react much to the "profit sharing" mentioned by Li Mu, but looked at Li Mu a little differently, it seems that he didn't expect Li Mu to really have two brushes.

George Dewey was more sensitive, and as soon as Li Mu's words fell, George Dewey immediately echoed: "That's right, if you eat meat, you should let your brothers drink soup, otherwise I will tie you up and throw you into Guantanamo Bay." ”

Uh, George Dewey is also quite ruthless, and this threatening way is also similar to Li Mu.

"Hehe, you don't have to envy him, Cespedes is not a fool, he will definitely not be unaware of being set up, this time we will help the Republic of Cuba train soldiers is a good opportunity for Cespedes to take back power, so I estimate that if Cespedes figures out our division of labor, then Cespedes will definitely look for you, and when the time comes, you will also remember, if you eat alone, I will also find more than a dozen Cuban beauties to make you ****, and then send you back to Montmontpelli, and promote your great deeds." Li Mu didn't let go of George Dewey, anyway, no matter who got the benefits, he had to give Li Mu a share.

George Dewey is a native of Montpelli, Vermont, this is a guy who values family affection, which can be seen from Dewey's clean self-esteem, Li Mu seized this point to threaten George Dewey, and it can be regarded as finding George Dewey's seven inches.

"Oh no, Reem, you can't do that." George Dewey expressed his displeasure with Li Mu.

"That's good, if you get a benefit, then you have to take it out for everyone to share, we are a team, we should share weal and woe." Benjamin finally found an opportunity to fight back and add fuel to the fire.

"Speaking of division of labor - I've always been curious, Ream, what is your division of labor in our team?" Ma Han, who had not spoken, pointed the finger at Li Mu.

"yes, what's your division of labor?" George Dewey was also curious.

"He's tasked with inventing airplanes, and if you can't, you're waiting to go to Rim." Benjamin hasn't forgotten his bet with Li Mu.

"Isn't my division of labor -- well, I'm going to be in charge of procuring supplies for everyone, making sure that supplies don't run out of stock, and I'm going to coordinate our relations with the Republic of Cuba to make sure that we get the benefits we deserve, and I'm also responsible for wiping your ass?" Li Mu found several jobs for himself in an instant.

"It's all nonsense he said, and I think he just wants to be lazy, so he didn't get to work." Benjamin saw through the essence of Li Mu at a glance.

"You see that he is so old, but he pretends to be an adult every day, do you feel very unpleasant?" George Dewey's violent silver was on the move.

"I warn you—" Li Mu saw that the situation was not good, and immediately issued a warning.

However, this level of warning is obviously ineffective.
