Li Mu didn't want Yan Hu to retire, so Li Mu rejected Sherman's arrangement.

If you want to become a competent arms dealer, you must be able to make your voice heard within the US military, although the relationship between George Dewey and Li Mu is good, but after all, it is still not as relieved as Yan Hu, Li Mu tried his best to send Yan Hu into the army, and he does not want Yan Hu to quit now.

Yes, Panama companies are very short of people, especially senior management talents, but people like Yan Hu are undoubtedly wasted in Panamanian companies, after all, Yan Hu has a bright future, which is not comparable to the senior executives of a private security company.

Yan Hu is still serving in the First Cavalry Division of the Army, serving as the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Regiment, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, he can already be regarded as a senior officer.

In addition to crossing Yan Hu's name off the retirement list, Li Mu accepted all the other people on the list, although most of them had to retire because of their service years, and there must be chess pieces deliberately planted by the Ministry of War, but Li Mu was not in the mood to find out people, if this could gain the trust of the Ministry of War and the Presidential Palace, Li Mu thought it was worth it.

"Send a telegram to Hakuki, ordering Hakuki to establish an advance base in Hokkaido and prepare to send people to develop Sakhalin." Li Mu decided to start the implementation of the second phase of the plan, the core of which was Russia.

Sending Bai Qi to the Far East, from the very beginning, was to prepare for causing trouble for Russia, although now the whole world does not look down on Russia as a country, but Li Mu never dared to despise it, the polar bear has this trait, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, although it seems that Russia is old, and the national strength is extremely weak, but this country can always repent at the most critical time and find itself in time, which is very terrible.

Because of geopolitical reasons, Russia is also the country that has caused the most harm to the Chinese in history, and Li Mu can never forget the large territory that was ceded and the forced independence of Mongolia...

Oh, and now Mongolia is not independent.

That's not good, as long as possible, Li Mu will try to make trouble for the Russians, and even if possible, Li Mu wants to force Russia to spit out the large amount of land they illegally occupied.

As a businessman, Li Mu can participate in the formation of a mercenary army to subvert a country like Colombia that is weak and has little right to speak, but if he competes with a country like Russia with a territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, then Li Mu is too arrogant.

When he thought of confronting Russia, Li Mu first thought of the Japanese.

Li Mu can never forget how disgraced Russia was in the Russo-Japanese War, which was also a war in which Japan really impressed the world.

Since in the past history, the Japanese were able to defeat the Russians, then now with Li Mu's support, Japan has more cards in his hand and has a greater chance of winning, which is worth the risk for Li Mu.

"Russia, that's an old imperialist country, some time ago, Russia just ordered $2.6 million in weapons from our Horse Arms Company, and now we're doing it... Is it appropriate? Yan Shunhe couldn't understand Li Mu's thinking, and in Yan Shun's view, maintaining good relations with a country like Russia was more in line with the interests of the Junma Group.

"Suitable, since the Russians place an order, then, of course, we have to sell weapons to it, but at the same time the plan to build forward bases cannot be stopped, no matter what the future holds, it is the Russians and the Japanese who die, what does it have to do with us?" Li Mu showed the ruthlessness that an arms dealer should have, and Russia completely tore its face, which is indeed not in the interests of the Junma Group, but it is in the interests of all Chinese.

That's enough.

In Li Mu's view, whether it is a Russian or a Japanese, in fact, there is no good thing, "not my race, its heart must be different", Li Mu thinks that this sentence is very reasonable, I did not reserve enough space for the Chinese to live in their world, so if the Chinese want to survive, they must build a world dominated by me.

"Well, as you wish." Yan Shun no longer talks nonsense, in this kind of matter, Yan Shun can express his opinion, but whether to adopt it depends on Li Mu's decision.

Hokkaido is not technically Japanese territory now, and before Tokugawa raised his army, the Meiji government was fighting the local Ezo people in Hokkaido and attempting to occupy Hokkaido by force.

The Tokugawa Tachitake army broke all this, and the war against the Ezo people has now ceased, and Hokkaido is still not part of Japan.

With Hakuki's intervention, Tokugawa Tachigen could conquer Hokkaido as quickly as possible, which not only cleared the way for Hakuki to set up an advance camp, but also helped Tokugawa Tachigen gain a wave of prestige in Japan and stabilize Tokugawa Riken's current unstable rule.

The so-called "forward base" is an enlarged version of the Ryukyu immigration transit station, which is equivalent to a huge logistics camp, which is not only responsible for the training of new soldiers, but also hoards large quantities of strategic materials to support the ongoing war ahead.

According to Li Mu's plan, at least three giant bases should be established in Hokkaido, which can accommodate 100,000 people to receive training at the same time, so that they can have the strength to compete with Russia.

That's right, it's 100,000 people, don't look at Russia's history of punching Hitler, kicking Napoleon, known as the "European gendarme", in fact, the strength of the Russians is like that, without the help of the "weather general", the Russians simply do not have the ability to create so many miracles of war.

What is even more beneficial to Li Mu is that Russia has not yet begun to build the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the vast East Siberian region is almost like a no-man's land, except for Vladivostok, where the Russians have hoarded some troops, and want to transport troops from the European mainland, they have to travel thousands of miles around most of the world, and it is precisely for this reason that in the past history, Japan had a chance to defeat Russia.

"Tell Ford Benjamin, let him be ready, give me as many Japanese soldiers as possible, and our next target is Russia, although this time the Panama company will not be the protagonist, but there must be a deep involvement of the Panamanian company, so that there is a possibility of victory." Li Mu did it strategically contempt for the enemy, tactically attached importance to the enemy, and did not leave a chance for the Russians to turn the tables.

Although nominally the war between Japan and Russia has nothing to do with Panama companies, if the war starts, it will not be difficult for Russians to discover the role of Panama companies, and a tough Panamanian company will be needed to not only resist pressure from the Russian side, but also withstand possible reproach from Washington.

The current Washington has not yet realized how big a freak like the Panamanian company can become, and the future Panamanian company will surely surprise everyone, including the US government.

"Tell Lawrence Lucas that from now on, to absolutely meet all the needs of Bai Qi, the Pacific Company will have an independent set of accounts in the future, and regard this task as one of the assessment items for Lawrence Lucas." Li Mu is well aware of the importance of logistics in modern warfare, and the Pacific Company will take ensuring the needs of hundreds of enterprises as an important business in the future.

There is a huge economic complementarity between the Far East and the United States, the United States needs the market of the Far East, as well as an almost inexhaustible supply of human resources, and the Far East needs the United States and industrial products and agricultural and sideline products, so in the future, the ships of the Pacific Company can travel between the Far East and the United States, and the capacity can be distributed more scientifically, which is also a good thing for the Pacific Company.

Basically, what Lawrence Lucas will do next is no different from the previous one, when Bai Qi was in the Ryukyus, the Ryukyus had to import a large number of industrial products and agricultural and sideline products from the United States because of the lack of industrial base, and now Japan is the same, Japan also lacks an industrial base, and at the same time lacks agricultural and sideline products.

It is a miracle that Japan, with such a large territory and so little arable land, can support so many Japanese people.

In the future, Li Mu wants to use the Japanese as gunmen to deal with the Russians, which requires helping Japan solve the most practical problems, and only by solving these two most basic problems can Tokugawa Liyan put down his burden and wholeheartedly find trouble with the Russians.

"By the way, I would like to say hello to Hawaii, and at a convenient time, invite Tokugawa Riken to visit Hawaii, and also say to Benjamin Harrison, is it possible to invite Tokugawa Riken to visit the United States in an official name." If Li Mu wants to dispel Tokugawa Liyan's concerns, he must give Tokugawa Liyan enough benefits.

Tokugawa Liyan's biggest concern now is that the foundation is unstable, although Tokugawa Liyan is very smart and did not have his own emperor, but found a mascot, but there is still no lack of opposition in Japan, although more people did not express it clearly, but it is obvious that there is a lack of sufficient respect for Tokugawa Liyan, at this time, if the US government can send an invitation to Tokugawa Liyan in the official name, it is equivalent to the US government in fact recognized the status of Tokugawa Liyan "Shogun Zhengyi", which is undoubtedly a relief for Tokugawa Liyan.

If Li Mu can really push the U.S. government to do this, then Tokugawa will become Li Mu's most loyal "retainer" from now on, not to mention letting Tokugawa's words confront Russia, even if Tokugawa can confront the United States, he will dare to confront the United States.

With the support of the entire Harrison family, Benjamin Harrison is rising in the ranks of American politics and is currently in the official position of Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Although the power of the House of Representatives is not as great as that of the Senate, being able to serve as the Speaker of the House of Representatives is already a giant in the American political arena, even if the current Benjamin Harrison is not qualified to send an invitation to Tokugawa on behalf of Washington, he can also do this on behalf of the House of Representatives, and the effect is basically the same, and the House of Representatives is also part of the US government.

If Li Mu can really achieve his goal and confirm the legitimacy of Tokugawa Liyan's "Zhengyi General" in the name of the House of Representatives, then to a certain extent, it also represents the statement of the US government, which should be regarded as a "public opinion kidnapping", but except for Li Mu, no one should care about this, especially for ordinary Japanese, what they can see is nothing more than that Tokugawa Liyan has obtained an official invitation from the United States, as for whether it is the US government, the House of Representatives, or the Hawaii state government that issued the invitation...

What does it matter, does it make a difference?

Not at all.

After making the recent work arrangements, Li Mu was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and devote all his next energy to the upcoming wedding ceremony.

This is the benefit of being the boss, Li Mu only needs to move his mouth to determine the general direction of the work, and the specific implementation is naturally implemented by the managers at all levels below, and the next thing Li Mu has to do is to understand it from time to time, so as to make sure that the development of things is not out of the predetermined track.

Li Mu and Gloria's wedding is still expected to be held in Trinity Church, and this time, Li Mu and Gloria are known to everyone who doesn't want to toss, as long as they can get the blessing of the closest people.

Even so, when studying the guest list, Li Mu and Gloria still had a hard time.

People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, who to invite at the wedding and who not to invite, this is actually a very serious question, Gloria is good to say here, except for Will's family, no one else is on the invitation list, and even Li Mu's "cousin" who has almost forgotten his name has not been invited.

Although Li Mu didn't want to invite too many people, the names on the list were still getting longer and longer, and at the end, Li Mu felt that there was not much difference between him and Da Zheng.

After all, there is only one wedding, and like Gloria, although Li Mu said no, he still hopes to get more blessings in his heart, a large part of which comes from Li Mu's life experience, whether it is in his previous life or in this life, Li Mu is an orphan, so Li Mu attaches more importance to feelings.

Whether it is family affection and friendship, Li Mu attaches great importance to it.

Li Mu is now a business partner or a fox friend, in fact, there are a lot of people, such as Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, who have always had a good relationship with Li Mu, although the public opinion is not good, don't you invite them to Li Mu's wedding?

If you don't invite it, it will even affect Li Muwei's cooperation with Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie.

That's more than worth the loss.

Another example is Li Mu's best friends, George Dewey and Benjamin Harrison, they will definitely not be absent from Li Mu's wedding, so do you want to invite Alfred Mahan?

This is another problem.

In the end, Li Muzhen felt a little numb, so it looked like it was no different from doing a big job.
