184 The Ugly Man
As for Mahan and the others, Sherman really doesn't care. Although these people are famous in the future, they are not very good now. For example, George Dewey, who has been in the public since the Civil War. He has been to every important port in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean in recent years, but has been unknown and has never achieved anything more.
For example, Ma Han, now Ma Han has not entered the US Naval Academy, and Ma Han's "Theory of the Sea Power" has not formed a systematic theory. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Ma Han is a mysterious and treacherous brain. Although he often makes some amazing remarks, he does not have a theoretical basis as a support. Therefore, Ma Han is a famous weirdo in the US Navy.
Finally, Benjamin doesn’t have to look at this guy’s resume, just look at his background. No matter how you look at this guy, they are all second-generation ancestors. Although Benjamin won the rank of general during the Civil War, this glory was brought to him by his family background and had nothing to do with him. What can you do when you take him to Cuba? Is it auspicious?
No wonder Sherman almost laughed when he saw these people!
Li Mu didn't laugh. Li Mu knew that these people had various shortcomings, so Li Mu required a large number of grassroots officers. For an army, especially modern army, the status of commander is really not very important for small-scale operations. A large number of high-quality grassroots officers are the rocks in the army.
Li Mu himself does not know how to fight, so Li Mu is really planning to rely on George Dewey. Although this guy is not famous now, he is indeed a powerful character. As for Ma Han, he is the idol of the future US Navy, and Benjamin is the future US President. Li Mu asked them to invest in advance to build relationships and lay the foundation for future business, which is nothing to do with fighting.
Seeing that Sherman was determined, Li Mu didn't talk nonsense, so he got up and went to find another William, William W. Bernapp, the Secretary of the United States War, Sherman's immediate boss.
This time it was unobstructed. Li Mu went to Bernap's office for half an hour and spent $10,000 to exchange for a new "python pistol" order, and then changed the list.
Haha, the wool comes from the sheep. Although this order is not ten thousand pistols, five thousand pistols can also bring Li Mu a profit of 70,000 US dollars. It is still a profit, not to mention that there are not one hundred people on the list, but two hundred. I believe Sherman will be so angry that he scolds her when he sees this list.
It’s useless to scold grandma. Supporting the “Republic of Cuba” is the national policy of the United States. If Sherman dares to interfere, then Sherman, the general, will be considered to be the end of the matter.
Of course, complaining is inevitable, so Li Mu pulled Eibel when he went to find Sherman again.
Eble is the chief of the General Office of the Presidential Palace and Grant's brother-in-law. He doesn't look at monks and Buddha's faces.
Sure enough, this time went very smoothly. Although Sherman's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, he still gritted his teeth and signed the transfer order. Before April 1, everyone on this list would be gathered in New York Harbor, and Li Mu and they would take a boat to Cuba.
