"Real man? Haha, it has nothing to do with this. Darwin Andrew dared not do too much because we have a strong America behind us. If there is no such layer of protection, you can try it-" Li Mu did not think that his courage made Darwin Andrew be afraid of the mouse. Without the halo of the US government, Li Mu and Benjamin should be in the prison car now.

It is indeed important to have a strong motherland.

Perhaps the United States is not strong for the British and French powers, but for the Cuban Republic, which is in a turmoil, if it loses American aid, the Cuban Republic can only wait for death. Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toinbi cannot bear this consequence.

"So, what should we do now?" Benjamin's passion gradually faded and he finally calmed down.

"Go back and find a way with George and Alfred. It is the most important thing to withstand the Spanish offensive, and then find a way to find Cespedes." Li Mu had no good idea now, so he could only take one step at a time.

Li Mu had a vague premonition in his heart. If Li Mu had not read Darwin Andrew wrongly, then Darwin Andrew would kill Cespedes now, forcing Li Mu to have to cooperate with Darwin Andrew.

Although Li Mu is strong, he is an American after all, and the Cuban problem is finally solved by Cubans. Even if Li Mu is well-intentioned, Li Mu can only rule Cuba through the Cubans. Without Cespedes, even if Li Mu looks down on Darwin Andrew, Li Mu can only choose to cooperate with Darwin Andrew.

So, although Li Mu didn't want to kill Cespides, Cespides died because of Li Mu.

If this situation really happens, there is nothing we can do. Li Mu cannot exchange his own risk in exchange for the safety of Cespides. The reason why Cespides has reached this point is due to his own fault. Nowadays, everyone should live up to their destiny.

During the period when Li Mu went to the Presidential Palace, George Dewey was not idle either. When Li Mu returned to the military camp, martial law had begun. A horse-resistance was installed at the gate. Sandbags were used to pile up fortresses next to the gate. The soldiers with live ammunition were on high alert and were already in combat.

"You are finally back. I just told Alfred that if the sun rises and you are not back yet, I will take the army to ask for people." George Dewey breathed a sigh of relief when he came.

"It's very dangerous. We were almost taken hostage to Balakoa." Li Mu felt a little dizzy, jumped out of the carriage and stood on the ground and stomped his feet hard. Li Mu felt a little more at ease.

"What's going on in the Presidential Palace? Not long after you left, Rayleigh Toinby sent someone to ask for the troops, but I didn't even let him in." George Dewey resisted the pressure and firmly controlled the army.

"Luckily you didn't hand over the troops, otherwise the general and I would definitely not be able to come back today." Li Mu first praised George Dewey's insistence, and then explained what happened: "Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toinby launched a coup, and Cespedes was missing. Bayamo has lost. Including our military camp, there are now 40,000 troops available for mobilization, but only half of them have weapons."

The situation was really bad, and George Dewey couldn't help but swear: "These stupid pigs have come to this time and are still not forgetting to fight for power and profit. Don't they know that without the Republic of Cuba, they will have nothing?"

"You can't use your way of thinking to try to understand the way of thinking of a lunatic. This is a group of idiots. The identification has been completed." Li Mu was not polite, and was speechless at the performance of these people.

"What should we do now?" George Dewey led Li Mu directly to the office. The guard at the door of the office was busy saluting. The adjutant helped George Dewey open the door. George Dewey didn't even feel like returning the salute.

A huge narrow sand table was piled up in the middle of the office. On the sand table, small flags were used to represent the city's name, centered on Santiago and Guantanamo. The northernmost point is Bayamo and the uppermost point is Marcane.

"From Bayamo to Santiago, we need to cross Mount Maestra. Considering the rugged and difficult roads, the most likely route for the Spaniards is to bypass Mount Maestra and attack Santiago through Palma Soriano through El Cristo. If we want to withstand the attack of the Spaniards, then we must set out now and take the lead in occupying El Cristo. If we cannot succeed, once the Spaniards occupy El Cristo, they can go south and capture Santiago in one fell swoop." George Dewey pointed his finger at El Cristo, and this is the key to withstanding the Spaniards.

From the topography, Mount Maestra is a narrow mountain range that covers almost the southeast of Cuba Island. There is a narrow valley about 60 kilometers wide between Mount Maestra and Mount Puliar. The valley runs east and west, and the middle goes south through El Cristo and Santiago, and Guantanamo goes east.

"We must occupy this place." Even though Li Mu was not in military affairs, he could see the importance of El Cristo, which was the only barrier in northern Santiago.

"But we only have 6,000 people, and the troops are seriously insufficient. Moreover, the San Diego people may still pull their backs. If we take them all away, then our retreat will not be guaranteed." George Dewey also knew that we had to occupy El Cristo, but the current situation was that with Darwin Andrew and other teammates, George Dewey did not dare to make a bet alone.

"Notify Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toinby to come for a meeting." Even though he was extremely disgusted, at this time, Li Mu still needs the cooperation of Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toinby.

"I'm afraid they dare not come." Benjamin didn't think Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toinby had the courage.

"They will come because they don't come, the ones who come will be the Spanish." Li Mu was sure that Darwin Andrew would not give up his power, so Darwin Andrew would definitely come.

Sure enough, an hour later, Darwin Andrew and Rayleigh Toe arrived due to a convention.

"My friend, I want to inform you of a sad news. Just half an hour ago, President Cespedes was assassinated by the Spanish-" Darwin Andrew got off the car and informed Li Mu of the latest situation. Although his tone was sad, there was no sad expression on his face.

"That's really regretful." Li Mu was not sad either. This was expected, but a little sad.

In a damn era, even the president of a country cannot control his own destiny, which further strengthened Li Mu's determination to rely on his own everything.

In the office, George Dewey once again explained the current situation and then hugged his arms and waited for Darwin Andrew's response.

"Marty George, on behalf of the Republic of Cuba, I grant you the right to command the army. You can now mobilize all the troops in Santiago to fight against the Spaniards. Let go of Marshal George. No matter what the result is, you are the hero of the Republic of Cuba." Darwin Andrew is indeed a hero, and he is very decisive when it is time to delegate power.

If this is not the case, Rayleigh Toinby has proved that this guy is useless with his own actions. If he doesn't trust George Dewey, nothing Darwin Andrew did will make no sense.

Darwin Andrew was also very smart. From the point of his name George Dewey as "marshal", it fully demonstrated that Darwin Andrew admitted everything that Sespedes had promised before, which at least temporarily comforted Li Mu and George Dewey.

"As you wish, thank you for your trust—" George Dewey didn't know whether Darwin Andrew's current position is the speaker or president, so he simply vaguely said it.

With the authorization of Darwin Andrew, George Dewey did not hesitate and immediately ordered the ready-made army to advance towards El Cristo as quickly as possible. At the same time, he ordered all the troops that could be mobilized in Santiago to gather in the barracks. George Dewey wanted to screen out the elite troops and continue to reinforce El Cristo.

At this time, Li Mu was fine, and Li Mu was finally able to go back and rest.

"It's really a headache--" Li Mu complained and fell on the sofa in the living room. He was obviously tired and exhausted, but he was not sleepy at all.

"Stop for a while, I'll get some water to burn your feet--" Chuxue put a bowl of dried scallop shrimp porridge in front of Li Mu, and went to the kitchen again in a blink of an eye.

Chuxue was not asleep yet and was waiting for Li Mu to come back. When he saw Li Mu, Chuxue immediately called himself like a gyro.

Raul is still very capable. With Raul, Chuxue's workload has been greatly reduced. Although there are maids at home, Chuxue never lets do anything to serve Li Mu.

"Forget it, stop busy-" Li Mu didn't want to burn his feet or drink porridge. Li Mu wanted to calm down and think carefully about what to do next, so Li Mu got up and got himself a wine.

Although rum is good, the alcohol content is too high. Relatively speaking, Li Mu still likes wine and is a sparkling wine with a sweeter taste. This is actually considered the category of champagne. After adding ice, watching a series of bubbles winding up from the bottom of the cup and smelling the mellow and elegant fruity aroma can make people calm down quickly.

As Li Mu expected, when Cespedes died, there is no need to investigate the cause of Cespedes' death. It must have something to do with the Spaniards, but it must have been done by Darwin Andrew. Based on Li Mu's understanding of Darwin Andrew, this guy will definitely do it seamlessly.

With the change of presidential candidates, the Republic of Cuba has entered a new era. If Li Mu wants to guarantee his interests in the Republic of Cuba, he can only choose to cooperate with the new president.

But does this mean that Li Mu always has to be controlled by others?

Not necessarily, Darwin Andrew can launch a coup to overthrow Cespedes, so others can also launch a coup to overthrow Darwin Andrew, just this person is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who

You still need to look for it slowly.
