It wasn't until eleven o'clock at night that Li Mu could afford to eat dinner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Mu organized a research group headed by Zhang Leye in the Junma Arms Company to study bullets using smokeless gunpowder, and Li Mu went to the factory today to guide the research work, and he has not returned to Springfield until now.

Now Li Mu should be regarded as a small inventor, but when it comes to specific affairs, Li Mu's role can indeed only be a guiding role.

For research work, it is enough to have a person like a "prophet" to guide it, at least to ensure that there is no deviation in the research direction, which is a big bug in itself, and it doesn't matter whether Li Mu really understands military industry.

When it comes to bullets, what impresses Li Mu the most is the Mauser 7.92mm rifle cartridge, which has been in use since its appearance in 1905 and has gone through two world wars until the Korean War, which shows its strong vitality.

Li Mu determined the research direction is 7.92 mm rifle bullets, and in order to dig a pit for his peers, Li Mu did not put forward the concept of pointed bullets, but the use of round bullets, and so on 7.92 mm round bullet research success, Li Mu will launch a rifle using 7.92 mm round bullets, in this way, the horse weapons company can first circle a wave of money in the market, and then wait for peers to catch up, the horse weapons company can take advantage of the trend to launch pointed bullets, and launch the use of pointed bullets of the rifle, but also another wave.

And Li Mu prepared more than one pit, the rifle that Junma Weapons Company is preparing to launch is a single-shot rifle, not a magazine rifle, and after the peers also launch a single-shot rifle, Junma Weapons Company will immediately launch a magazine rifle, so that it can continue to maintain a leading position in technology and always be one step ahead.

Don't underestimate this one step ahead, this is enough for the Horse Arms Company to maintain a technological lead for decades, but at the same time it will not be too far ahead, when the time comes, including the Springfield Arsenal, the Colt Factory, etc., these competitors will always be in a state of catch-up, and it will never catch up, it will not take too long, maybe just a few years, the Horse Weapons Company will be able to consume all competitors alive.

As for the little fat man's Zaihan Factory, I'm sorry, Li Mu didn't look at it at all, and the Zaihan Factory did not have the qualifications to become a competitor of the Horse Weapons Company now.

Li Mu is also a busy person now, and he has to discuss with Bresta how to be a bad person when he eats.

"Let Chad take action tomorrow, set up a card on Samuel's way to deliver the machine, and make some trouble for Samuel, it's best to find a reason to detain Samuel's machine, and detain him for three days and five days - you have been staring at Samuel for the past two days, no matter how Samuel goes to the printing house, not a single newspaper is allowed to go on sale." Li Mu was bent on killing Samuel and not leaving Samuel alive.

"Don't worry, Reem, I've bought Samuel's deputy, Sammy Larkin, and Samuel won't be able to escape my palm." Bresta was confident, gobbling up as he spoke, and it was amazing that he could still pronounce words clearly.

It is said that it is dinner, but in fact, it is more suitable for supper, Chu Xue prepared preserved egg and lean porridge for Li Mu, with homemade beef jerky, and matcha two-color biscuit rings, which are full of color and flavor, and what is more rare is the combination of Chinese and Western.

Li Mu is growing up, so Chu Xue has always prepared more meals for Li Mu, and Bresta can be regarded as catching up, and he can enjoy the craftsmanship of the chef of the Qing Empire.

"Sammy Larkin -- tell him to be careful not to show his feet, and tell him that when Samuel is finished, he will be the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, and that I will give him three times his salary at Springfield Republic." Li Mu has always been generous to his own people, and bribing Sammy Larkin not only found a helmsman for Time Magazine, but also hit Samuel, which really kills two birds with one stone.

To be Samuel's deputy, Sammy Larkin no longer needs to prove his ability, Samuel has to focus most of his energy on the content of the newspaper, to fight against people like Grant and Li Mu, and to rely on articles to get ahead, in fact, the Springfield Republic is generally managed by Sammy Larkin.

It should be said here that Samuel, a "public knower", does not know much about interpersonal relationships, although Samuel's small life is good, but Sammy Larkin's life is not very good, although it is not down, but it is also tight, so this gave Li Mu a chance, and Bresta bought Sammy Larkin without much effort.

Of course, such a purchase may leave hidden dangers, but in the United States in the 19th century, "loyalty" was a luxury, and Li Mu never had the luxury of getting everyone's loyalty, as long as Sammy Larkin was conscientious in his future work, then Li Mu would let Sammy Larkin go.

Again, money is a good thing, but if you have a life to earn it, you have to spend it, as long as Sammy Larkin realizes what kind of person Li Mu is, then Sammy Larkin probably doesn't have the courage to betray Li Mu.

betrayed a literati like Samuel, Samuel scolded Sammy Larkin in the newspaper at most, and there was no substantial harm to Sammy Larkin, Sammy Larkin can still live, and even in Li Mu, Sammy Larkin will live better, but if he betrays a person like Li Mu, the price may be unbearable for Sammy Larkin to bear.

"Hehe, don't worry, Reem, Sammy Larkin will never dare to disobey the sun, if Sammy Larkin dares to be a two-faced person, I will tie up his family in front of Sammy Larkin and throw him into the Connecticut River." Bresta spoke harshly, but his face was full of smiles, and he asked Hatsuyuki to add food.

Chu Xue, who was waiting on the side, looked at Bresta with a disgusted expression, pouting and not meaning to help.

This treatment is a little different, maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, Li Mu and Bresta are the same with sores on the top of their heads and pus on the soles of their feet, but why should Chu Xue respond to Li Mu's needs, and judge Bresta as if they were two people-

"It's good to eat some, do it yourself, love to eat, don't eat and roll-" Li Mu is not welcome, the first snow is Li Mu's forbidden belly, Li Mu will never let others call the first snow.

"What a stingy fellow—" Bresta grumbled, but he could not resist the temptation of good food, and had to do it himself.

"Please take care of yourself after eating, I'm going to be out of company." Li Mu drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, and led Chuxue to visit Yan Hu on the second floor.

Yan Hu finally woke up tenaciously after ten days of coma, to say that Yan Hu was also extremely lucky, the two bullets that day hit Yan Hu and did not hurt Yan Hu's internal organs, otherwise the reincarnation of Da Luo Jinxian would not be able to save Yan Hu, the reason why he was in a coma for so long was more because of excessive blood loss, if it wasn't for Li Mu's bowl of salt water that day, it is estimated that Yan Hu would still not be saved.

It was already the middle of the night, the second floor was quiet, and the faint smell of disinfectant water echoed in the corridor, Li Mu frowned a little.

Li Mu asked the ward to be ventilated every day and the air to be kept fresh, but now there is still the smell of disinfectant water, which is obviously Li Mu's request has not been thoroughly implemented.

"Recently, the weather has been cold, and it is cold in spring-in order to ensure the temperature in the room, ventilation cannot be carried out for too long, this is a corridor, and ventilation is not easy-" Chu Xue is also ice and snow smart, Li Mu just frowned, and Chu Xue understood Li Mu's mood.

"You go to bed early every day in the future, if I come back late, you don't have to wait for me-" Li Mu looked at Chu Xue, who was thin, with a look of pity.

Chu Xue was a little malnourished when she was a child, and her body was a little thin, but after arriving at Will's house, although her nutrition could keep up, Chu Xue began to grow taller again, so although she had a good complexion and a great body, she still looked very thin.

However, the height is good, Chu Xue is now about one meter six, shorter than Li Mu, standing by Li Mu's side is just right, and the body shape matches very well.

"I'm not sleepy, and I won't be able to sleep if you don't come back." Chu Xue doesn't talk much, but there are a lot of feelings.

Li Mu couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around Chu Xue's shoulder, making Chu Xue's face flush, and then pushed open the door of Yan Hu's ward.

"Mr. Reem—" Yan Hu's special guards immediately stood up to greet him.

There is still a difference between intimacy and intimacy, Li Mu arranged one nurse for everyone else, and two for Yan Hu, one during the day and one at night, to ensure that Yan Hu was taken care of at all times.

"Mu-Brother Mu-" Yan Hu slept lightly, and still maintained due vigilance, as soon as Li Mu pushed the door, Yan Hu woke up and held the handle of the gun placed in the bed.

"Lie down, lie down, I just came back, come and see you-" Li Mu held down Yan Hu and didn't let Yan Hu get up.

"I'm in good health, and I'll be discharged from the hospital in a few days-" Yan Hu's body is still in good shape, and he recovered quickly after waking up, and it seems that he will be able to be discharged from the hospital soon.

After all, the Yan family was born in the palace, and there was still something to save their lives, when they left the little fat man's side, Yan's mother carried an old ginseng with her, if it weren't for the mountain ginseng to hang herself, maybe Yan Hu really wouldn't have woken up.

"Don't worry, now let's kill Amis, in Springfield, it's not easy for anyone to plot against me, you can rest in peace, and then come out to work when your health is better, I am going to set up a security team, when the time comes, you will be a captain first, if you have the chance, I will send you to West Point, and when you come out, you will be a general, if Washington does not set up a standing army, I will privately pay for you to build a force." Li Mu and Yan Hu are now a real lifelong friendship, if there is someone in this world who can make Li Mu completely trust, Yan Hu must be the first, which is proved by Yan Hu with his own life.

The reason why the gunmen hired by the Spaniards were able to set up an ambush was because of the assistance of the mayor of Amis, otherwise, if a large number of strangers came to Springfield, they would not have escaped Will's intelligence network.

Now that Amis's power has been eradicated, it will be difficult to ambush again, and Li Mu will never give people a second chance.
