218 Preparation
When he woke up, Li Mu found himself sleeping on the sofa. Chuxue curled up in a corner of the sofa, lying on the armrest of the sofa, feeling very fragrant.
It seems that Chuxue's girl has been with Li Mu all night.
Although Li Mu didn't want to wake Chuxue up, Chuxue woke up immediately as soon as Li Mu had a move.
"Go back to sleep in the room-" Li Mu felt pity and couldn't get hard on his lips.
"It's okay, I have time to take a break when you go out." Chuxue was quite reasonable, picked up the clothes prepared by her side and asked to serve Li Mu to wash.
Li Mu had a headache. Looking at his wrinkled clothes on his body, Li Mu refused Chuxue's service, went directly to the bathroom to take a shower, and then went out in high spirits.
The military camp was already crowded with people, and soldiers, who were excited, numb, or desperate, were lined up to the schoolyard. A team of soldiers gathered further away from the military camp. They had to go through screening first, and those who were physically injured or lacking energy had to be eliminated. They didn't even have the chance to enter the military camp.
But do you think you can escape the war in this way?
It is impossible. In addition to frontal combat, there are other aspects of war, including logistics assistance, maintaining rear security, recruiting new recruits, etc. Even if you can't get on the battlefield, you can't escape the vortex of war.
"Mr. Reim, someone wants to see you." Yan Shun appeared silently from the side.
"Who?" Li Mu asked casually.
"Li Bora and Santos." Yan Shun whispered.
"That Santos?" Li Mu's mind has not been online yet, and he really can't match the number.
In South America, Santos is a very ordinary name, with a lot of people on the streets. Among the Cuban people Li Mu met during this period, there were not ten or eight of them.
"Santos Gomez is the one who negotiated with you on behalf of President Cespedes-" Yan Shun looked around, looking afraid that people would notice this.
"Take him to my office." Li Mu was about to find someone to ask what happened. Santos came at the right time.
Unlike Li Mu's impression of suits and ties, Santos wore a soldier's military uniform and his hair became a common bald head for soldiers. When he saw Li Mu, Santos barely remained calm.
"Mr. Reim, President Cespedes was wronged. Currently, President Cespedes is detained by Darwin Andrew on a farm in the suburbs of Santiago. You must save President Cespedes. I think President Cespedes will not be stingy. Maybe you can get the entire Maestra and Puglia, and even the entire southeast of Cuba Island-" Santos doesn't know how things have developed.
"Oh--" Li Mu sighed, and was speechless about the intelligence lag of Santos, the local snake: "Where did you go last night?"
If Li Mu had received this information last night, then maybe things would turn around, but now Cespedes is dead, and everything else is in vain.
"I have been outside the military camp, but the entire military camp is on a state of alert, and I can't get in-" Santos was helpless. There must be Darwin Andrew's eyeliner in the military camp, and Santos dared not appear rashly.
This is also a coincidence. George Dewey's martial law was to prevent Darwin Andrew, but unexpectedly it also cut off the last glimmer of life for Cespedes.
"President Cespedes is dead--" Li Mu couldn't bear it, but he still told Santos the news.
"No - impossible -" Hearing Li Mu's words, Santos's originally hopeful eyes suddenly became dull and stood there for a while. Santos still accepted this fact helplessly, covered his face and sat on the chair and cried in tears.
Li Mu poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Santos. After a while, he asked softly: "What the hell happened?"
Santos burst into tears, his hands spread apart and his fingers trembled, and told Li Mu in a crying voice about what happened last night: "After the news of Bayamo's loss came, President Cespedes held a special meeting to discuss countermeasures. Darwin Andrew accused President Cespedes of private contact with the Spaniards at the meeting. This is all nonsense. I can guarantee that President Cespedes has never contacted the Spaniards, but Darwin Andrew has contacted the Spaniards - Darwin Andrew accused
President Cespedes leaked Bayamo's defense arrangement to the Spaniards, which is also nonsense. The control of the army is in the hands of Rayleigh Toinby. President Cespedes has no right to interfere with the command of Rayleigh Toinby. Rayleigh Toinby will not report Bayamo's defense arrangement to Cespedes. Only Darwin Andrew can leak it-Darwin Andrew then declared the impeachment of President Cespedes. President Cespedes's opposition is invalid and he was eventually removed from his post on the spot-"
Santos' words were mixed with many personal judgments, but Li Mu still understood the whole process.
"Does President Cespedes have no supporters in the cabinet?" Li Mu was really curious. If Cespedes was a human being like this, it would be a failure.
"Of course, there are, Vice President Mr. Casper Hardy and Justice Arthur Robbins oppose the revocation of President Cespides' post, believing that this is not fair. Even President Cespides is suspected of collusion with the enemy, it should be handed over to the Supreme Court for trial and can only be revoked after confirming his guilt. But this is useless. Even the captain of the President's guard has betrayed Mr. President, and Mr. Vice President and Mr. Justice are powerless." Santos is a bit naive in politics and is as naive as Cespides. Such a person is really not suitable to be a politician.
As for the information Li Mu knew, Vice President Casper Hardy and Justice Arthur Robbins were both liberals. Even if they opposed the impeachment of Cespedes, it was definitely not because they supported Cespedes, but because the impeachment was not initiated by them.
Cespedes was also a tragedy. Even the captain of the guard was bribed and it was not unfair to lose.
"You will stay in the military camp for now and don't go anywhere. There must be someone looking for you outside. As long as you don't go out, I will guarantee your safety." Li Mu wanted to save Santos. Although Li Mu was not sure what Santos was useful, no one could tell what the future was. Maybe Santos could come in handy.
"My family--" Santos then remembered to take care of his family.
"I will send someone to take them over, if Darwin Andrew hadn't had time to send someone to find them." Li Mu saved the people to the end, but he was just a few more people to have a meal anyway.
Saying away the sobbing Santos, Yan Shun brought Li Bola in.
"General George ordered me to obey your command--" Li Bora looked at Li Mu with kindness and a hint of confusion.
Although Li Bora served in the Cuban army, Li Bora is a Chinese like Li Mu, and naturally has a bonding bonus. So Li Bora is now intimate to Li Mu, but Li Mu is an American after all. Li Bora is not sure when Li Mu will return to the United States in the future, so Li Bora is confused about the future.
"How is your injury?" Li Mu first cared about Li Bola's body.
When Li Mu met Li Bola last night, Li Bola's arm was hanging on her chest like a rice dumpling. Although she didn't hang it up today, Li Mu felt that she wouldn't be able to get better so quickly.
"It's just a muscle tear, as long as you don't do a lot of energy, it's fine." Li Bola lifted his arm shoulder-to-shoulder, indicating that it did not affect his actions.
Muscle tear injury can actually be mild or severe. If the tendon is not damaged, it will be almost the same in just a week. If the tendon is damaged, the recovery period will be much longer, and it is likely that it will not be able to recover from normal conditions, leaving sequelae forever.
Li Bola's situation seems to belong to the former.
"Very good, how many people do you have now?" It is very important for Li Mu to determine how powerful he has.
"General George ordered all our Chinese soldiers to report to you that there are 442 people in total, 36 people were seriously injured and needed hospitalization, 211 people were slightly injured, and they could participate in military operations in about half a month, so we now have nearly 200 people for you to call at any time." It seems that Li Bola had done her homework before, and various numbers could be reported casually. Moreover, because Li Bola was an officer before, the words and sentences were very military.
"Don't be close, how many are there?" Li Mu didn't count it.
"There are 195 people in total, sir." Li Bora was accurate to single digits this time.
"Very good. Your current task is to transfer all the minor wounded to Guantanamo. The serious wounded will stay here for treatment. At the same time, you go to Santiago and find me a few more skilled surgeons. Once you find the doctor, you will transfer all the serious wounded to the same. In addition, you will find more Chinese people, no matter whether they are in the mine or in the plantation, as long as their identity is a slave, take them to Guantanamo - that's all for the time being." Li Mu first had to gather his strength, but there are less than two hundred people at present, and he couldn't do anything he wanted.
"Slaves - what if those landlords or mine owners don't let them go?" The excitement in Li Bora's eyes flashed and she immediately thought of the cruel reality.
"The gun in your hand is a fire stick? Whoever dares not let anyone go, fuck him for me! If you can't fight, come back and ask someone and bring the army together!" Li Mu was so murderous. No matter who blocked Li Mu from gathering the Chinese, Li Mu would let him know that the American financial backers were not easy to mess with.
"Yes!" Li Bola was extremely excited and his answer was loud.
"Leo, take them to change clothes, each person has a pistol, plus a shotgun or a Winchester Thirteenth consecutive shot, teach them to use grenades. If anyone dares to carry them, use grenades to blow them up." Li Mu ordered Yan to take Li Bola out.
