Although Rockefeller and J· P. Morgan is the current super-rich in the United States, but among the super-rich, there is also a chain of contempt.

For example, those who engage in industry look down on those who engage in finance, those who engage in industry look down on those who engage in commerce, and those who engage in the military industry look down on those who engage in other industries, so Li Mu is at the top of the chain of contempt. P. Morgan, William Vanderbilt, etc., Li Mu is not very eye-catching.

This sounds a little manic, but in fact it really reflects Li Mu's position in the current US economy, after all, Li Mu's military industry is almost a monopoly industry, in this industry, no other company can compete with Li Mu's horse weapons company, Li Mu does have enough confidence.

It's just that compared with Rockefeller, Li Mu has always covered it up better, so Li Mu's reputation is not bad now, at least no one calls Li Mu "robber tycoon".

Of course, Times Media has made a great contribution to this point, if it were not for the deliberate maintenance of Times Media, the reputation of Li Mu and Junma Group is estimated to be rotten by now, worse than Rockefeller and William Vanderbilt.

In mid-June, Hakuki commanded the Ryukyu army and the Japanese servant army to capture Kyoto, and Emperor Meiji and his ministers resisted stubbornly in the battle, and were completely lost in the chaos.

It should be said that the war against Japan was much easier than Li Mu imagined, and Li Mu originally thought that the Meiji government's army would carry forward the spirit of bushido and fight the Ryukyu army and the Japanese servant army to the end, and would never forget the wind and surrender.

In fact, this was not the case at all, after the occupation of Kyushu Island by the Ryukyu army and the Japanese servant army, the Meiji government army was on the verge of collapse and could no longer organize effective resistance, so that in the process of capturing Kyoto, the Ryukyu army and the Japanese servant army completely annihilated the garrison of Kyoto, that is, the last hole card in the hands of Emperor Meiji - the Guards Corps.

As for the death of Emperor Meiji, there is no need to dwell on this issue, in fact, even if Emperor Meiji took the initiative to surrender, he would inevitably die in the end, his fate is like this, no matter what, Tokugawa Liyan could not let Emperor Meiji live until after the war.

In early July, Li Mu finally received the news of Emperor Meiji's death, and finally, Li Mu and the U.S. government sent a telegram of condolence to the Japanese government almost simultaneously, expressing condolences for Emperor Meiji's death and congratulating Emperor Akihito on his succession.

Emperor Akihito in this time and space is not the son of Emperor Meiji, but a descendant of the Tokugawa family, who was only about six months old when he succeeded to the throne, so the real power of Japan still falls into the hands of the new "Shogun of Seiyi" Tokugawa Liyan, and when Emperor Akihito really governs, it will be at least 20 years later.

Of course, it is more likely that Emperor Akihito will not live to be 20 years old at all, and that Tokugawa Riken will support a new "emperor" to succeed him, so it will take 20 years before Tokugawa Riken will face a new political crisis.

In late July, the new U.S. Secretary of State, William Maximell Aivaert, traveled from Washington to New York to discuss Japan's future with Li Mu.

"I believe it now, what you said can indeed be done, it's only been just over a year, you not only lifted the Ryukyu crisis, but also overthrew the emperor's rule, to be honest, now facing you, I have a sense of crisis..."

"I have said countless times that what happened in Japan has nothing to do with our Junma Group, and this war in Japan is actually the final decisive battle between the old forces and the new forces, and it is impossible for the Japanese to let us Americans sing the leading role, so although I admit that in this Japanese war with the participation of American citizens, these people have nothing to do with our Junma Group." Li Mu still avoided the important and lightened it, and put all the responsibility on the internal consumption of the Japanese.

"Come on, I don't have to say anything like that, I know how you do it, it's like in Cuba, it's very easy." William Aiwart did not believe Li Mu's nonsense, and firmly believed in the conclusions he had analyzed based on facts.

Speaking of fighting against Japan, it was much easier than fighting against Spain in Cuba, after all, the Japanese army was extremely inferior in weaponry, and it was simply unable to compete with the regular army of the Ryukyus, and even the Japanese servant army could not defeat it.

The Spanish army in Cuba, although the equipment is as backward as the army of the Republic of Cuba, but after all, at least there is a breech rifle that can fire fixed ammunition, which is much stronger than Japan, and the Meiji Emperor almost emptied the treasury to complete the refitting of the Guards Division, leaving extremely limited time for the soldiers of the Guards Division, and they did not even have time to adapt to the new equipment in their hands, so they were all wiped out by the Ryukyu Army and the Servant Army, and did not play any role at all.

"I didn't do anything in Cuba... Mr. Secretary, please don't confuse the two. Li Mu will definitely not admit that now is the time to make a fortune in silence, and Li Mu will definitely not confess like William Walter.

"Well, you don't, I believe you, but others don't think so, so I came to New York from Washington this time just to hear your blueprint, what position should Japan occupy in the Stallion Group?" William Walter pressed forward step by step, not giving Li Mu time to think at all.

"Japan, what do you think I can look up to them, in addition to rich human resources, Japan has almost no merit, the current Golden Horse Group, and there is no need for external forces to intervene, what we have to do is to safeguard the interests of the Horse Group, to ensure that the Horse Group has been moving forward, this is enough." Li Mu also does not enter the oil and salt, no matter what William Walter says, Li Mu flatly denies it.

"To be honest, I miss the time when we worked together to win the campaign for President Hayes, at least we were honest and not like we are now, even though we all got what we wanted, but we drifted apart..."

"The ass decides the head, with the change of our positions, it is normal to have disagreements, now you and Mr. President will consider the problem, will stand in the perspective of the United States, and I still only represent the Horse Group, so it is normal for disagreements to occur, what we need most now is effective communication, maybe now public opinion is not so important to Mr. President, but please believe me, you have not really fully understood the role of public opinion, I only hope that it will not be too late when you really understand." Li Mu's words are also a gun with a stick, to put it bluntly, when you asked me for something, you were obedient to everything, and never said half a word.

Now that Hayes has finally assumed the presidency of the United States with the support of Li Mu, Li Mu wants William Walter to understand that since Li Mu has the ability to send Hayes to the presidential throne, then Li Mu must have a way to pull Hayes off the presidential throne.

"Of course, this is also what I want, we are the best partners, at least there can be no infighting between us, so Ream, in East Asia, just enough..."William Walter just rightly expressed his concern, Japan is just a fuse, in fact, the contradiction between Li Mu and Hayes has existed for a long time, all it takes is an accelerator for the spear to explode.

"Huh... What can I say, William, you should know that before Mr. President took office, he promised to expand the size of the army, but now it seems that there is no movement at all, so what can I do, and what do you want me to do? Li Mu remembered his identity as an arms dealer, and war was what arms dealers liked the most.

Before becoming president, HiSilicon did promise Suzuki that it would expand the size of the army, and that all the weapons needed at that time would be ordered from the Horse Arms Company.

The reason why Li Mu and Rockefeller are still able to stay calm is that they are waiting for Hayes's next move, if Hayes can't fulfill those promises at that time, then Li Mu and Rockefeller will have to consider whether to change a six-month-old child to become president of the United States.

It sounds a bit exaggerated, and the U.S. political system does not allow six-month-old children to be presidents, and Li Mu's words truly reflect Li Mu's inner thoughts, which is what Hayes is most worried about at present.

"Regarding the expansion of the army, the War Department is conducting hearings, and it may not be long before a new presidential decree is released." Wilhelm Walter did not dare to make a promise in place of Hayes, but he could not fail to respond.

"That's great, I'm waiting for good news..."Li Mu finally got the news he wanted, and considered whether he should give William Walter a step down.

"I almost forgot about business, Far East, what I want to ask is the Far East, Ream, a Ryukyus, plus Japan, should be enough to satisfy your appetite, so next, Reem, Mr. President and I hope that you can stop in moderation, even if you want to make a splash, you have to find an opponent who matches the size, otherwise even if you win, you will not gain the respect of the opponent." William Walter was bitter, but a little confused, because William Walter himself could not determine the goal of Li Mu's next move.

"I remember that a few months ago, we discussed this issue, and of course Spain is a good object compared to Japan, but unfortunately, I don't know what Mr. President thinks, if we don't take advantage of the civil strife in Spain to take South America and the Pacific, then we will definitely regret it in the future." Li Mu and William Walter are also old friends, during the Hayes campaign, Li Mu did analyze the future of the United States with William Walter, and the final conclusion is that Spain, as long as it successfully grasps the breakthrough of Spain, the United States can really enter the historical stage and become a member of the behind-the-scenes chess players.

"I also hope, but we need an opportunity, an opportunity that all American people can accept willingly and willingly, but Li Mu you know, opportunities are not always available." William Walter has not forgotten the agreement with Li Mu, but there is still a lot of work to be done in Washington before it can be implemented.

"There is no reason, we can make a reason, there is no excuse, we can make an excuse, as long as the Spaniards fire the first shot, the rest will be logical." Li Mu is still black-bellied, and he is not soft at all when it comes to Spain.

At present, the US economy is thriving day by day, and its international status is constantly improving, but compared with the old imperialist countries such as Britain and France, the United States still lacks confidence, so the United States needs the right to speak.

If you want to eat persimmons, then of course you have to start eating soft, Spain, which has just experienced civil strife, is now the soft persimmon that can no longer be soft, and all the United States needs now is an excuse to start a war against Spain.

In the past, it was precisely after winning the Spanish-American War that the United States really achieved an international status that matched its national strength, and now the United States is in the darkest hour before the dawn, and Li Mu does not mind helping the US government show the way.

Again, the arms dealers love war the most, and only by fighting can the arms dealers have food, so Li Mu very much hopes that the US government will launch the Spanish-American War as soon as possible.

"Make a reason..."William Walter was still immersed in Li Mu's words and did not come out.

"Yes, it's to create a reason, the Navy has been refitting since two years ago, and now there must be abandoned warships docked in the harbor waiting to be dismantled, these warships should not end up like this, the soldiers should die on the battlefield, so it's really not as difficult to find an excuse as you think." Li Mu went one step further and taught William Walter how to blame the Spaniards.

In history, the trigger for the Spanish-American War was the bombing of the USS Maine, since the US government declared war on the Spanish government, completely expelling the Spanish power from the Americas and the Pacific.

As for the cause of the accident of the "Maine", there was another theory later, that is, the Americans deliberately blew up the "Maine" and then blamed the Spaniards.

In the 21st century, because the World Trade Center Towers were destroyed, the United States then launched the "War on Terror", and there are many versions of the World Trade Center Towers being hit, one of which is that the Americans directed and staged the tragedy and found the most suitable excuse for starting a war.

That's what Li Mu is saying now, since there is no reason, let's create a reason, as for whether this reason is sufficient, who cares...

"This thing... I will report back to Mr. President as soon as possible, and if I can, the results should be available within a week. "William Walter is more confident at this point.
