The cooperation between different volumes will certainly not be completely fair and equitable.

In the 21st century, many small enterprises in order to get in touch with large enterprises, would rather lose money but also cooperate, in order to join the ranks of suppliers of large enterprises, in this case it is not possible to take a long-term view, the future road can go better.

As a Jew, and at the same time a successful Jew, Solomon Lobe will certainly not be stupid in this regard, and if the Boston consortium cooperates with other companies, it may be able to take a stand, but it can't cooperate with the Horse Group.

After completing the cooperation with Solomon Lobu, Li Mu was in a happy mood.

Li Mu does not intend to form a united front on behalf of the Chinese and Jews now, it depends on the sincerity of Solomon Lobu, if Solomon Lob can show his sincerity in future cooperation, then Li Mu does not mind giving Solomon Lob some more political resources.

Li Mu doesn't know how much power the Boston Consortium has in Congress, but if it comes to the Senate, Li Mu doesn't think that the Boston Consortium has stronger strength than the Horse Group.

Political resources are always scarce, after all, there is only one president.

Speaking of the president, although the official presidential election will not begin until next year, the parties are actually already building momentum.

Li Mu naturally supports Ulysses Grant's third re-election, although Li Mu knows that this is unlikely, but Li Mu has already been labeled with the military, so although the prospects are not good, Li Mu can only choose to support Ulysses Grant.

Ulysses Grant's rivals aren't just from outside the party, James Bryan and Rutherford Burchard Hayes, who are also from the Republican Party, are Ulysses Grant's strongest opponents.

James Bryan is a former leader of the House of Representatives, and after the Republican Party lost its majority in the House of Representatives, James Bryan moved into the Senate and also became the Republican Senate leader.

Born in Pennsylvania, James Bryan began his political career in 1862 when he was elected to the House of Representatives.

James Bryan served as Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1869 until last year, when the Republicans lost their majority in the House of Representatives.

Like Ulysses Grant, there is a lot of support for James Bryan in the Republican Party, but there are also many who oppose James Bryan's candidacy for the Republican Party.

Opponents also argued with corruption, with James Bryan rumored to have accepted a $64,000 check from Union Pacific Railroad after the Union Pacific Railroad was forced to break up, and there were also rumors that James Bryan owned the bonds of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad, which looked worthless now because of the economic crisis, but will eventually re-enter circulation as the economy recovers.

The rumors against James Bryan are just rumors, and no one can confirm them and put James Bryan on the bench.

Similarly, James Bryan has not been able to prove his innocence, although he has unparalleled speech skills and outstanding charisma, but after being involved in these scandals, James Bryan has an indelible stain on him.

What do the Americans hate most right now?

It's not the Republican and Democratic parties' donkey-elephant rivalry, nor the economic situation that has not yet recovered as expected, but the endless scandals, the scandals surrounding Ulysses Grant, which have seriously affected the image of the Republican Party, so whoever is involved in the corruption scandal will be farther and farther away from the presidency.

Relatively speaking, Hayes is much cleaner, when Hayes proposed to run for president, Li Mu's position has wavered to a certain extent, Hayes is an Ohio, the current governor of Ohio, Benjamin Harrison's hometown.

During the Civil War, Hayes joined the Northern Army like Ulysses Grant, and during the war, Hayes fought bravely and repeatedly, and at the end of the war, he was promoted to the rank of major general, and like Ulysses Grant, Hayes was also a famous national hero.

When Benjamin Harrison was running for the Senate, Hayes gave Benjamin Harrison a huge help, and now is the time for Benjamin Harrison to repay Hayes, if Benjamin Harrison gives up supporting Ulysses Grant and supports Hayes instead, then Li Mu really has to think carefully about where to go.

In fact, there is nothing to consider, Hayes is known for his "integrity and efficiency", opposes political parties to divide fertilizer, opposes black-box operations, and advocates the civil service system.

If Hayes only has the above problems, Li Mu can tolerate them, and Hayes also has a political proposition of opposing protectionism, advocating the reduction of tariffs, the reduction of tax burdens, and the strengthening of economic ties with European countries.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, American companies have relied on the protection of high tariffs to make great progress, and if tariffs are lowered and markets are opened to European countries, then American companies will definitely usher in a new round of reshuffle.

In view of Hayes's economic policies, Li Mu will definitely not support Hayes, which Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison made very clear.

Ulysses Grant's opponents include candidates running for the Democratic Party, in addition to James Bryan and Hayes.

Although the Democratic Party lost the war, it won the hearts and minds of most of the southern states, and this is also due to the Republican Party's missteps, precisely because the Republican Party's suppression and discrimination against the Southern people caused the Southern people to completely fall to the side of the Democratic Party.

At the end of the Civil War, the Republican Party had a chance to win the hearts and minds of the people, and the Democratic Party suffered a heavy blow at that time, and the Republican Party even had a chance to turn the United States into a one-party dictatorship.

Democracy once again played an important role at this time, and the Republican Party made a series of stupid moves, first delaying the start of post-war reconstruction in the South, and then imposing heavy taxes on the southern states, coupled with the Republican Party's own incompetence, a series of scandals broke out, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the people of the South.

So far, the Democratic Party has made a comeback as the ruling party in many southern states, and succeeded in becoming the majority of the House of Representatives last year.

Li Mu is not worried about the rise of the Democratic Party, in fact, although Li Mu is a Republican, he has always maintained a good relationship with the Democrats, and even the chief lawyer of the Junma Group is a hired Democrat, which also determines that the Junma Group will not become a target after the Democratic Party comes to power.

Can't put all the eggs in the same basket, the cunning rabbit still has three holes, Li Mu will definitely not make a mistake like throwing a lone bet.

In August, before the Republican party election, Li Mu returned to Washington to prepare for the Republican party election.

The restoration project of the Washington Monument is underway, and the Horse Construction Group undertook this project, Li Mu promised Ulysses Grant that the Washington Monument would be completed before the president took office next year, and Ulysses Grant also counted on relying on the Washington Monument to attract popularity, but unfortunately he didn't know who would be cheaper at that time.

The party election is also very important, if you can't win the party election, then you are not eligible to run on behalf of the Republican Party at all, and it is impossible to talk about being elected for three consecutive terms, so after Li Mu arrived in Washington, he immediately got the opportunity to have dinner with Ulysses Grant.

Dinner was held at the Presidential Palace, accompanied by Abel Corbyn, and Mrs. Grant cooked the best apple pie and beef pie for Li Mu.

The meal was a bit embarrassing, Li Mu and Able were originally partners, but after the Whiskey Group case, the Abel Riem Shipping Company was spun off, Li Mu devoted himself to immigration on the West Coast, and Abel once monopolized the shipping of New York Harbor to the United Kingdom.

At this time, Britain was the largest trading partner of the United States, and New York was the largest port on the east coast of the United States.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, after the Junma Group and the British had a bad relationship, Abel gradually ceased to be treated by the British because of the cooperation with Li Mu, and for more than a year, Abole's business was greatly affected, and the cargo ships dropped from the peak of 160 to less than 100 at present.

Ulysses Grant will definitely not let his sister "starve", let Abel Corbin accompany him, and also have the intention of letting Li Mu and Abel reunite together.

Li Mu didn't want to do this, Abel is not a business genius, not even an ordinary person, he is greedy and ignorant and has no bottom line, if there is no Ulysses Grant to help him, such a person is a pile of stinky shit.

The general election will begin next year, and it is still unknown whether Ulysses Grant will be re-elected, so Li Mu will definitely not cooperate with Abel in any form.

As far as Li Mu's current status is concerned, he no longer needs to curry favor with Able in order to gain the favor of Ulysses Grant.

Probably also saw Li Mu's perfunctory, after dinner, Ulysses Grant invited Li Mu to take a walk on the lawn in front of the presidential palace, and did not let Abel accompany him.

"I've heard about Benjamin Harrison, and it's a shame that what we need most now is unity, and together we can meet any challenge." Ulysses Grant is a little disappointed, but that doesn't affect Ulysses Grant's perception of Benjamin Harrison.

The United States is very good at this, although the political struggle is equally brutal, but it is not bloody, whether Benjamin Harrison supports Grant or Hayes, this is a normal choice, and it will not affect the relationship between Benjamin Harrison and Ulysses Grant, let alone be retaliated against by Ulysses Grant.

Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison have a bad relationship, and promptly defended Benjamin Harrison: "That's not what Ben really thinks in his heart, the cooperation between him and Mr. Hayes should be just a deal, but I believe that this will not affect the final result, so Mr. President, now next year, you will still be the owner of this house." ”

"Hahaha, I've always believed..."Ulysses Grant was photographed by Li Mu very coolly, and he could see the little tongue happily.

"But we must not be careless, strategically we must contempt the enemy, tactically we must attach importance to the enemy." Li Mu still maintains enough calm, and it is far from the moment when the dust has settled, even if he wants to celebrate, he will wait for Ulysses Grant's successful re-election before celebrating.

After all, in the history that Li Mu is familiar with, there has never been a horse group in the United States, the Centennial Exhibition of Independence will be held in Philadelphia, the Spaniards will not be driven out by the Cubans until the end of this century, and the Hawaiian Islands will also not join the United States until the end of this century.

Compared with the history that Li Mu is familiar with, the reality has changed beyond recognition, so Li Mu is not sure whether Ulysses Grant can be re-elected for a second time.

Although Ulysses Grant did not succeed in the history that Li Mu is familiar with, Li Mu is still willing to give it a go, after all, Li Mu also has certain political resources, which are enough to become a decisive force in some specific circumstances.

Compared with James Bryan and Hayes, Ulysses Grant's re-election has many benefits for Li Mu, at least Li Mu no longer has to spend a lot of money to win over those ministers, and he does not have to accept some unknown variables.

That's right, it's a variable, except for Ulysses Grant, no matter who is president, it will bring new variables to Li Mu and the Junma Group, of course, this variable may also be a good aspect, but why take the risk, it may also be bad.

"You are right, strategically we must despise the opponent, tactically we must attach importance to the opponent, no matter what enemy we face, we should be up to 12 points." No matter how well he behaves as president, as a commander-in-chief, Ulysses Grant is still qualified, and he must understand the meaning of these two sentences, great ideas are great in any era.

"Rest assured, Mr. President, I will be your eternal supporter." Li Mu made a promise to Ulysses Grant, this promise is invaluable to the current Ulysses Grant, and with Li Mu's support, Ulysses Grant can be said to have achieved half the success.

"Thank you Ream, you will definitely not regret your decision, in fact I am considering raising the tariff on arms to one hundred and fifty percent..."
