522 Simple and crude
It wasn't until he got on the train that Li Mu finally got a chance to be alone with Will.
The second is still very cute, the little one is not going to go yet, he is as fat as a little ball of meat, he is very energetic, and he likes his two sisters very much.
When a woman sees a child, she always gets a lot of motherhood, so now women are circling around the child in the box, trying to dress up the second as a girl.
Li Mu and Will didn't think there was any fun in this kind of thing, they couldn't bear to see the little guy being tossed by a group of women, and they didn't have the ability to rescue him, so they simply didn't see it and didn't bother, and hid at the junction of the carriage to smoke cigars.
"It's really a thousand precautions, it's hard to prevent thieves, you cheated my Gloria away like this, I have to warn you, since you have established a relationship, then you have to treat her well, otherwise I will not let you go." Will remembered that his daughter from the family was stolen by Li Mu, and he still felt unhappy.
"Reluctant? Then I'll go back and make it clear to Gloria. Li Mu was still unhappy.
"Hey, hey, what's your attitude? It's like no one wants my Gloria, what's wrong? Could it be that being with Gloria has wronged you? Will tried to build momentum.
But now that I think about it, it seems a little late, who made Will usually not have the authority that a "guardian" should have.
The relationship between people is actually very magical, Gloria is of course very good, to have a figure, to have a good look, although the personality is a little rude, but overall it looks good, at least not to annoy, plus Gloria is the eldest daughter of the Barron family, a shareholder of the Horse Group and San Diego Investment Company, and the founder of the Urban Beauty Magazine, and the founder of the Urban Beauty Store, people who want to marry Gloria line up and can circle around Manhattan three times.
Gloria has always had many admirers in New York, and his cousin is just one of them, and there are many people who are afraid of the power of Li Mu and Will and dare not show it at all.
However, this by no means includes Li Mu.
Although the U.S. government has not confirmed it, almost everyone knows the fact that Li Mu is now the richest man in the United States, so others may bow down under Gloria's skirt, but Li Mu will definitely not, with Li Mu's strength, he can't marry whoever he wants, if Li Mu wants to, even if he marries a princess, it will not be difficult to come back.
So it seems that it is really not easy for Will to stiffen his waist in front of Li Mu.
Of course, the face that should be given still has to be given, so Li Mu behaved quite well: "As long as you don't force me to change my mouth and call your father-in-law, it's easy to say anything." โ
Regarding this change of words, in fact, it is not a big problem, Gloria and Sandy are also Will and Will at home every day, it is just a title, and it does not mean anything.
Will didn't force it, and ended the topic immediately: "Of course not, whatever you want, it's like you can break someone's leg at will." โ
It seems that the conflict between the Horse Apparel Company and the Texas Cowboys is already well known.
This kind of thing can't be hidden, from Springfield to Texas, the train is just passing through Washington, D.C., the people of the Horse Clothing Company are a bit excessive, after breaking people's arms and legs, they don't even provide the most basic medical care and send people away, the train goes all the way to Washington, and those Texans are treated, so now many people are waiting to see a good show.
"Breaking a leg is just the beginning, and if Owen Hart is obsessed, then it won't be as easy as breaking a leg." Li Mu didn't take this matter to heart, since Li Mu went to find Samuel Tilden, Li Mu has been waiting for the Texans to make peace.
Now it seems that the Texans have no intention of repenting, so Li Mu no longer has the luxury of hoping that this matter can be good, since the Texans don't want to end this problem in a peaceful way, then let's do it hard.
"You're always so sharp..."Will's words were not blame, but emotion.
It must be said that Will has benefited a lot from Li Mu's sharpness, when he clashed with Amis, if it weren't for Li Mu's sharpness, Will might have been forced to be a forest ranger, so Will definitely has no position to accuse Li Mu.
Considering the relationship between Will and Li Mu all along, in this kind of matter, Will can only choose to maintain the same front with Li Mu.
"Wait and see, since the Texans don't want to sell me cotton, then I'll let them not sell a pound of cotton, and what kind of cotton farmers' association, they really think they can control the market? I can only hehe. "Li Mu does have a big plan, this is the Texans who took the initiative to send it to the door, and Li Mu is not welcome.
The development of the Horse Group is still very good in the states dominated by the Republican Party in the North, but the traditional sphere of influence of the Southern Democratic Party is still a desert for the Horse Group, so the provocation of the Texans is not bad news for the Horse Group, as long as it can open up the situation in Texas, then the Horse Group can take advantage of the trend to extend its tentacles to the south.
Not to mention the southern states of the United States, for the whole of the United States, Texas is very special, if the Horse Group can open up the situation in Texas, then it can take advantage of the situation to enter other states that have been broken by the Republican Party.
"What do you want to do? Send someone to kill Owen Hart? "Will is a soldier and has always solved problems in the simplest and most brutal way.
In this regard, Will and Li Mu are really a family, Li Mu did not answer Will's question directly, and the way was also simple and rude: "Wait and see, if everything goes well, there will be news tomorrow." โ
"How long are you two going to stay here?" Claudia came out to greet Li Mu and Will.
"Here it isโ" Will threw the cigar out the window and walked towards Claudia with open arms.
A very interesting fact, Li Mu and Will chatted here for a long time, and they didn't mention the first snow in a word.
In fact, everyone knows that it is unlikely that Chu Xue will be separated from Li Mu, so since this is the case, sometimes you still have to pretend to be stupid.
When Li Mu and Will were chatting on the train, Owen Hart was playing dumb in a tavern across the street from the Houston City Hall.
"Those damn Republicans are so bullying, we just made a little mistake, they are going to terminate the contract, they are going to pay us a huge amount of compensation, and it comes down to the fact that we lost the war, so now the Republicans can do whatever they want, and we, except passively accept it, can't do anything..."
Texas is rich in cowboys, and the people here are rough and irritable, and often fight when they disagree, and even lead to a duel in a hurry, and if the person dies in a duel, then his family is usually proud.
So the character of Texans can be imagined, they are a group of people who are not afraid of power, advocating freedom, when the Mexicans wanted to rule them, they became independent, and then the U.S. government wanted to co-opt them, which also triggered their fierce resistance, the pursuit of freedom, has been deeply rooted in the bones of Texans, for a pure Texan, not free, rather than die, this is really not a slogan.
As the traditional sphere of influence of the Democratic Party, Texans generally do not have a favorable opinion of the Republican Party, so Irving Hart's words immediately resonated in the bar.
"That's right, those Republicans are a bunch of damn liars, they robbed us of our property, they robbed our servants, they robbed us of our glory, we should do something about it, or we will be driven to death by them sooner or later." Immediately, someone chimed in.
Texas is the largest producer of cotton in the United States, so if you count the economic losses of the American states during the Civil War, Texas must be at the top.
When it comes to the Civil War in the 21st century, people usually use the term "emancipation of black slaves" to explain everything, as if the Americans started the Civil War to abolish slavery.
In fact, it was just a beautification of later generations, the reasons why the Americans launched the Civil War were very complex, there were both economic and political factors, and the provocation of the British could not be ignored, and the only thing that did not touch the side was the slavery system.
In April 1861, the Civil War broke out, in the early days of the war, the Northern government because of the general low personal ability of soldiers, in the battlefield defeat and retreat, after a year and a half of the war, the Northern government has been close to running out of oil, if there is no new force to join, then the war will be unsustainable, Lincoln in order to save the decline, in September 1862 announced the abolition of slavery, the emancipation of black slaves, to attract blacks to join the war, this is the victory of the local government.
Therefore, the Civil War is nonsense in order to liberate the black slaves, it should be the Civil War that objectively promoted the liberation of the black slaves, and the farmers in Texas are the biggest victims after the liberation of the black slaves.
One can imagine how deep the resentment in the hearts of Texas farmers is.
In Texas, politicians can easily gain public support by scolding the Washington administration.
"We lost the last war, so we lost the glory of our fathers, we lost everything, and now a new war is about to start, and the Horse Group is the vanguard of those shameless politicians in Washington, so we have to pick up the gun again, take back our land, and regain the honor that should belong to us..."
In fact, the Junma Group has been involved in Texas a few years ago, under the wilderness of East Texas, there is the largest oil field in the United States, Li Mu bought the East Texas oil field two years ago, so Li Mu is also a landlord in Texas now.
Maybe it's still the largest landowner in Texas.
Of course, because Li Mu bought it through the San Diego Investment Company at the time, not many people knew this information, and it was not surprising that Owen Hart, as a Texas congressman, knew the news.
After all, it was Christmas Eve, so the party in the bar didn't last long, and the bar closed early before nightfall.
Owen Hart put on his top hat and wrapped his trench coat tightly and walked out of the bar surrounded by a dozen people.
As soon as he walked out of the bar door, Owen Hart suddenly remembered something and turned to explain it to his secretary.
"Tom, send a telegram to Mr. Tildon that I'm going to re-examine the legality of the San Diego Investment Company's purchase of the East Texas farm, a whole 1.5 million acres, and since it only costs a measly $1.4 million, I want to know how such a contract is approved by the state government." Owen Hart, a farmer himself, felt his heart bleed as he watched so much land being acquired by the San Diego Investment Company at a very low price.
"Mr. Tilden has gone to Miami for vacation, and I will send a telegram to Mr. Tilden's office." The secretary nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Owen Hart's car finally drove over, and it was embarrassing that Owen Hart's car was also a BMW car produced by the Stallion Group.
However, Owen Hart and the secretary deliberately ignored the car logo in front of the front of the car, the secretary quickly stepped forward to open the rear door, Owen Hart sat in the car, and when the door was closed, the secretary did not forget to send his blessings: "Have a nice Christmas Eve, sir." โ
"Thank you, Tom, and good luck." Owen Hart's expression was not very pleasant, leaning back in his chair and rubbing his forehead, his face full of exhaustion and worry.
It is understandable that in the current United States, it takes courage to go against the Junma Group, and ordinary people are afraid that just thinking about it, the spirit will be directly crushed.
"Do you want to go home, sir?" The driver asked softly in the front seat.
"Hmm..."Owen Hart was not in a high mood, and he didn't even have the spirit to speak.
The driver quickly started the car, and the car sped away along the street.
On the last street corner before arriving home, Owen Hart's car stopped.
"What's going on?" Owen Hart was upset.
"It looks like there's an accident ahead." The driver did not get out of the car.
It was indeed a traffic accident, when the two carriages were staggering, the coachman did not control the distance between the carriages, and as a result, the axles of the carriages collided together, and the axles of one carriage were broken, and the whole road was blocked.
"Damn the wagon, damn the streets, damn the weatherโ" was not far from home, and Owen Hart cursed as he pushed the car door open and decided to walk back on his own.
When he first passed by the carriage paralyzed in the middle of the road, Owen Hart subconsciously thought that in fact, the Horse Group was not useless.
The thought flashed through Owen Hart's mind, and Owen Hart shook his head as if trying to get the thought out of his mind.
Just then, a young man across the street pulled out a python detective revolver from his arms.
Bang...
