There is a kind of relationship in nature that two organisms live together for mutual benefit, and it is a highly developed interspecific relationship between organisms, and it is a kind of interspecific relationship that cannot survive without one or the other, and this relationship is called "symbiotic relationship".

In the United States, the relationship between the rich and the politicians is a standard symbiotic relationship.

Without politicians, the interests of the rich cannot be effectively protected, and a natural protective layer is missing; At the same time, without the plutocrats, politicians will have no foundation for survival, they will not only have no soil for survival, but also lose the meaning of existence.

This is the case with Burnside and James Garfield, without the support of Li Mu and Rockefeller, who are rich people, Burnside and James Garfield would not have been able to qualify as members of Congress, and they would not have been able to obtain the prominent status at this time, and at the same time, if they lost the protection of Burnside and James Garfield, the interests of Li Mu and Rockefeller would not be fundamentally guaranteed.

Under this premise, whether Burnside and James Garfield want to or not, they must maintain a unified position with Li Mu and Rockefeller, but there will be slight differences in their respective demands, but this is not a fundamental difference and belongs to the scope of mediation.

"Everett, James, I know what you are afraid of, and from your point of view, of course you are willing to postpone the start of the project, but I would like to remind you that the opportunity is not always there, and this is the most vulnerable period in Spain, and we cannot afford to miss it." Li Mu directly pointed out that if he waited for four years before starting the war, to be honest, Li Mu did not have the confidence to fully defeat the Spaniards.

Don't look at the Spaniards are now in the weakest period in history, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, after all, the heritage of hundreds of years of colonization is still there, and the wealth plundered by the Spaniards from all over the world is still there, if the Spaniards are given a few years, Li Mu is not sure how much strength the Spaniards can recover, although in the past history, the United States did defeat the Spaniards and won the Spanish-American War, but if the war side was replaced by the Far East Company, Li Mu was not sure of victory.

One thing Li Mu is very sure of is that although the current Far East Company has the support of the Horse Group, Standard Oil, Carnegie-Riem Steel, and the National Gunpowder Association, this does not mean that the Far East Company can do whatever it wants, at least the Far East Company cannot obtain the latest model of warships, which also means that the Far East Company has congenital deficiencies that cannot be ignored, if it is according to Li Mu's setting, the Far East Company can certainly defeat the Spaniards, but if there are other variables, Li Mu does not have enough confidence.

Just kidding, don't look at Spain is now in decline, in fact, Spain still has a heritage, at least Spain is by no means a country that can be slaughtered by others, the Far East Company relies on the individual strength of the cowboys, if it comes to large-scale operations on the sea, this Far East Company has an irreparable gap with the Spaniards, although the Far East Company is not bad for money, although the Far East Company can recruit unlimited cowboys to the Far East, but if it comes to the level of warships, the Ministry of War will not allow the Far East Company to have this kind of big killer.

It is easy to understand that in the 21 st century, US military contractors can contract any military mission of the US military, but there has never been a contractor who has such a weapon of mass destruction as nuclear weapons, even if those mercenary companies have a strong background.

"Reem, it's not a matter of time, it's not a matter of strength, what I can promise is that no matter what the situation will be at that time, the contract that should belong to the Far East Company will not be less at all, all you need is a little more patience, and this request is not too much." Burnside still insisted, looking at Li Mu with sincerity, while James Garfield's gaze at Li Mu was a little complicated, hopeful, and at the same time a little inexplicable and obscure.

When it comes to relationships, Li Mu and Burnside have a better relationship, the beard doesn't have much scheming in many cases, he always goes straight to the point, what to say, and still retains the straightforwardness of being a soldier.

Relatively speaking, the relationship between James Garfield and Li Mu is not so harmonious, you must know that in the last presidential election, if it weren't for Li Mu's obstruction, maybe James Garfield would have entered the presidential palace, so although James Garfield has deliberately repaired the relationship with Li Mu in the past two years, after all, the mustard already exists, and it is not so easy to dissolve.

After listening to Burnside's words, Li Mu did not immediately express his attitude, to put it bluntly, it was still "political achievements" from it, whether it was Hayes or James Garfield, they all hoped that the United States would go out of the Americas during his term of office and truly win its due position in the world, which was destined to be a glory that could go down in history, maybe it would take decades to reincarnate, so Li Mu could understand why Burnside hoped that the war would be delayed for a few years before breaking out, anyway, the final result would be the same, and the winner could only be the United States.

"Everett, you have to know, it's not my decision alone, and while we're talking about it, I'm sure that at least half of the members of Congress are also discussing it, and maybe there will be Democrats in Congress, so Everett, a lot of things can't be completely shifted by our minds, and when most people agree with a goal and are willing to work for it, I think we should be more in line with the will of the people." Li Mu's coercion of public opinion has reached a new stage, but don't think this is arrogant, Li Mu does have this strength.

Whether it is Li Mu or Rockefeller, or J· P. Morgan, Henry DuPont, and even Andrew Carnegie, who has just emerged in the past two years, it is undeniable that they all have their own spokesmen in Congress, and when Li Mu lobbied Burnside and James Garfield, Rockefeller They were not idle, this night, I don't know how many people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, because their decisions would affect the fate of many people in this world.

Probably Burnside didn't expect Li Mu to be so insistent, and after exchanging a look with James Garfield covertly, Burnside still agreed to Li Mu's request and promised to vote in favor of tomorrow's congressional deliberations.

When the other legislators said goodbye one after another, Chen Guofang casually found a reason to stay, and talked to Li Mu about another matter that might affect the future fate of Hawaii.

"The establishment of the Pacific Fleet has designated Hawaii as the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, and I have no intention of targeting General George Dewey, but the establishment of the Pacific Command has already had a certain degree of influence on our control in Hawaii. Chen Guofang gave Li Mu a big problem, and the target was the newly established Pacific Fleet.

The Pacific Fleet's use of Hawaii as the location of its headquarters has affected the status of the Chinese in Hawaii to a certain extent, and you must know that before this, the Chinese have become the main ethnic group in Hawaii, and more than 55 percent of the population in Hawaii is Chinese, and although the Pacific Fleet's move will not necessarily affect the status of the Chinese in Hawaii, it has already brought hidden dangers, and Li Mu certainly did not feel it in New York, but Chen Guofang already had a painful pain.

Although the Pacific Fleet currently has less than 20,000 people, with the construction of the Pearl Harbor base, the population that the Pacific Fleet can influence in the future may expand to more than 100,000 people, and by that time, not to mention the other islands in Hawaii, at least in Oahu, the members of the Pacific Fleet and their families will become the main members of the island, which is not good news, I have received a lot of news in recent times, and even our compatriots have sold their plantations to go to the United States, which is very dangerous, We need to pay enough attention to it. Chen Guofang seems to be complicating the problem, but this is not groundless, and the root cause is that the Chinese in Hawaii do not have enough security.

"Don't worry about the Pacific Command's problems, George is not unreasonable, don't worry about it first, put this issue aside for a while, and talk about it later." Li Mu is on both sides and mud, there is no standard answer to this kind of question, so Li Mu can only do this.

Geographically speaking, Hawaii is not the most suitable headquarters for the Pacific Fleet, and considering the transportation and communications conditions of this era, Guam is the most suitable location for the Pacific Command, but Guam is currently under the control of the Spaniards, and the Pacific Fleet is beyond the reach of the whip, so this question - has to be considered in the long run.

"It can't be delayed, Rim, the construction of a naval base requires millions of dollars, although the Pacific Fleet's headquarters on Oahu will promote the economic development of Oahu for a short time, but in the long run, it will do no good, so we can't back down on this issue." Chen Guofang did not want to see the Pacific Fleet put its headquarters in Hawaii no matter what, although it seems to be the best choice at present, but from the perspective of the Chinese, this is definitely not a good thing, and it will definitely affect the social status of the Chinese in Hawaii.

The United States is a federal state, and the states have unimaginable autonomy, and many times within the state, the authority of the state capital is even higher than that of the central government in Washington, and this is the case in the state of Hawaii, almost all Hawaiians recognize the state of Hawaii, but not everyone recognizes the central government in Washington, which raises a very serious question, if - just if, one day in the future, the state of Hawaii is ready to secede from the United States government, then will the existence of the Pacific Fleet affect this?

The answer is almost yes.

"Lao Chen, don't think too much, if it should be ours, it will definitely be ours, it shouldn't be ours, and you can't ask for it." Li Mu thought about it, and knocked Chen Guofang quietly.

The current Horse Group, in the Far East, in South America, and even in the Pacific, seems to have the ability to be almost independent, but in fact this is not the case, the reason why Washington can tolerate the Horse Group, is because of the American nature of the Horse Group, if one day the Horse Group wants to break away from the United States, then there is no need for Washington to do it, Rockefeller and J· P. Morgan: They will eat the Horse Group alive.

This is not a joke, this is an analysis of the fundamental interests of Standard Oil and the Morgan family. P. Morgan's personal relationship was good, but it was based on their shared interests, and if that foundation went wrong, the resulting alliances would soon fall apart.

"Reem, some time ago, on a passenger ship from Qing to San Francisco, there were 350 of my local villagers from Chaoshan, I may not know what kind of life the villagers in China live, but when I learned what happened to them, I really couldn't suppress the resentment in my heart, just the day before yesterday, General George ordered the dissolution of the Liberation Society on Oahu, prohibiting us from any political-related gatherings, I have to say that this is definitely a serious offense, so Reem, think about our comrades in China." Chen Guofang moved with affection and reason, and under the gaze of the halo of "national righteousness", he did not believe that Li Mu continued to resign.

Although there is a suspicion of self-selling and boasting, compared to the new immigrants who have just escaped from China, life in the United States is like paradise.

The Chinese who have come to the United States are polarizing at a rapid pace, and some of them are content with the status quo, enjoying the stable life they have always dreamed of, and are unwilling to do anything that might endanger their current status quo. On the one hand, they want to bring more relatives from China, and on the other hand, they also begin to try to find a fundamental solution to the problem.

What can fundamentally solve the plight of the Chinese in China?

The answer is simply about to come out, as long as the barbaric rule of the Manchus is overthrown, with the wisdom and wisdom of the Chinese, not to mention standing tall among the nations of the world in a short period of time, at least it is certain to hold up their chests, and the "Liberation Society" came into being in this context, just by listening to the name to know the nature of this organization, they did not play the banner of "Heaven and Earth Society" openly, and they already estimated the face of the Junma Group.

"On this point, I will communicate with General George, I still believe in General George's character, I believe that he will give you a satisfactory answer, it is necessary to remind you that any non-governmental organization in Hawaii must be formed under the premise of complying with the requirements of the Constitution, we cannot exist separately from the United States, at this stage, or for a long time in the future, we Chinese who are living abroad must rely on the protection of the United States in order to live a better life in the United States." Li Mu must think more than Chen Guofang, as for those spontaneously formed alliances, to be honest, Li Mu is not optimistic about these organizations, counting on them to save the Chinese in the Qing State from fire and water, it is better to count on the Far East Company.
