Maritime defense is indeed a problem. Fortunately, the Spanish Navy has no time to take care of the mess in Cuba. The bourgeoisie in Spain is still in a revolution. The Spanish King Amadio I took the initiative to abdicate on February 11, saying that I, the Italian, do not want to interfere with the spoils of you Spanish. After learning that the king abdicated, the Spanish Parliament overwhelmingly announced the establishment of a republic. Amadio I left Madrid amid firecrackers, returned to Italy with ease, and became his Duke of Aosta again.

It is said that Spain has been in trouble in recent years. In 1868, a coup occurred in Spain. General Juan Prim overthrew the unpopular Queen Isabella II and established the Alliance Government. In 1869, the Alliance Government convened a Constitutional Assembly.

The Constitutional Assembly decided to retain the Spanish monarchy, and the first task of the alliance government was to select a king for Spain, so Spain embarked on a journey of doom.

The alliance government first chose Prince Leopold, the Hohenzollern family of Germany, as the king of Spain. This proposal was strongly opposed by France and became the fuse of the French-Prussian war.

In desperation, the alliance government chose the second prince of the newly established Kingdom of Italy, Amedio, Duke of Aosta, as the king.

The king was just selected, and in late December, Juan Prim was assassinated and Spain fell into chaos again.

This is not the end. In 1872, last year, the Second Carlos War broke out, and the Catalonian region announced that it would no longer accept the jurisdiction of Amadio I.

Amadio I burst into tears. He just wanted to be a king quietly, but he didn't expect the Spanish to be so troubled, so Amadio I resigned voluntarily - I won't play anymore, who do you love to be the king?

To sum up, Spain is much more chaotic than Santiago. On the surface, the bourgeoisie established a republic, but in fact it was a mess in the country. The Catalonian region declared independence, and the Carlos War broke out again in order to fight for the throne. The Republic was willing to suppress it but was unable to do so. Before Amadio I resigned, he accepted a new army minister. As a result, this appointment led to the resignation of all artillery officers in Spain, and the Spanish Republic could not even find the officers who controlled the army.

This is understandable why the Republic of Cuba was in trouble some time ago, but the Spanish were weak in attack.

It’s not that I don’t want to fight, but that I really can’t fight, and it’s not a crime of war.

Li Mu's strength is not strong enough now. If Li Mu's strength is strong enough and he pours some oil into Spain, he might not have to attack George Dewey, and Viagra Nikolaou would take the initiative to seek peace.

Of course, Li Mu has always ignored three points, and such a good opportunity must not be missed, so Li said arrogantly: "Do you think my investment is just a little weapon? Childish! You don't think about it. Is it just because of the struggle for power and profit within the Spanish government? It's true that I issued bonds, but most of the money is spent to support the opposition in Spain. Without a large amount of financial support, do you think the opposition in Spain can cause such a big stir?"

This was at the joint meeting between Li Mu's team and the Republic of Cuba, and Li Mu finally got angry.

Although he won the first Battle of El Cristo, the threat from the Spanish was not completely lifted, so the attitude of the Cuban Republic was not very firm on the command of the troops. When George Dewey analyzed the situation for Darwin Andrew and Caspar Hardy, the topic was not controversial. After all, no one in the Cuban Republic could lead the troops to compete with Viagra Nikolaou.

Is there no dispute if there is no competition for military leadership?

Don’t be naive. These shameless guys who have no lower limits have refreshed Li Mu’s three views. If they don’t compete for military leadership, they can compete for economic leadership.

The war caused great damage to San Diego. In order to ensure that enough people were joining the army, the conservatives finally compromised and allowed their slaves to join the army. The liberals took the opportunity to grow bigger, and they also wanted to fight for greater power.

Li Mu issued national debts in New York under the name of the Republic of Cuba. As early as when Li Mu first met Darwin Andrew, Darwin Andrew mentioned that now Darwin Andrew has re-mentioned the old story, asking Li Mu to spend some of the money to help the Republic of Cuba restore Santiago's prosperity.

Let Li Mu take the money?

What a joke, why is the iron rooster not shit?

Because the iron rooster has no hair at all!

After Li Mu got angry, the venue fell into a brief silence.

George Dewey and the others would never have thought that Li Mu would be so shameless—

Darwin Andrew and others were shocked by Li Mu's big moves. They did not doubt whether what Li Mu said was true or not. Before that, their eyes were always limited to Santiago and Bayamo, and they did not even cover the entire Cuba. They exported revolutions to the Spanish mainland, which was something they had never thought about.

"So gentlemen, give up those unrealistic fantasies. In order to drive away the Spaniards and gain independence for Cuba, we must give up more at this stage. All this is definitely worth it. I don't need to say that as long as we drive away the Spaniards, our efforts will be rewarded ten times a hundred times." Li Mu started to pour chicken soup after he got angry, not believing that he would not be fooled by these country bumpkins.

"So, can we issue more national debts?" Darwin Andrew was indeed no longer obsessed with the government debts that Li Mu had issued, but he focused on the tycoons on Wall Street.

Well, this choice is even more unwise than asking Li Mu to pay. Is it so easy to fool you as a Wall Street tycoon? If it weren't for Morgan's help, Li Mu's national debt wouldn't be sold.

"I'm afraid it won't work. Before we pay off the last treasury bond, we are not qualified to continue issuing treasury bonds. After all, for Wall Street, the credibility of the Republic of Cuba does not guarantee much." Li Mu was not optimistic, of course, it was not absolutely impossible. It depends on how determined Darwin Andrew was.

"They can accept the first time, then they should be able to accept the second time." Darwin Andrew was unwilling to give up. It was like facing a huge treasure mountain, but because he had no key, he could not enter.

"Okay, you can try it-" Li Mu didn't force it. If Darwin Andrew had the ability, then let him try it. Anyway, Li Mu was not ready to provide any help: "I think that to solve the current dilemma, we should start with ourselves. Santiago may have financial exhaustion, but Havana must have money. As long as we can capture Havana, we can get as much money as we want."

Compared with Santiago, Havana is indeed rich. Not only is there a world-famous Havana cigar, but also a sugar factory, winery, and plantation run by the Spanish. As long as Havana is captured, it will be enough for these leaders of the Cuban Republic to eat to eat.

Of course, it is not easy to capture Havana. Havana is the center of the Spanish rule in Cuba. Although Vila Nikolau lost the first Battle of El Cristo, it was not hurt. The Cuban Republic needs more efforts to capture Havana.

"At present, I don't think we have the ability to attack Havana in the short term." Caspar Hardy still retained a little sober, and the Spaniards were not so easy to defeat.

"How short is this short term? Half a year? Nine months?" Li Mu didn't know Caspar Hardy's bottom line.

"No, no, I don't think we can't do it in three to five years." Caspar Hardy was more pessimistic.

"Three to five years? Stop being funny. I haven't spent three to five years here. At the latest, we will launch an attack on Bayamo. Before the end of next year, Cuba must achieve de facto unification. Either we unify Havana or Havana will unify us." Li Mu's time is precious, and it is impossible for him to stay in Cuba and play slowly with these people.

Li Mu has communicated with George Dewey to pass the training plan. Recently, George Dewey will step up training of soldiers. It is expected that by the end of October, all of these soldiers will be completed and an attack on Bayamo will be launched.

"At the end of this year? Will it be a little too fast?" Darwin Andrew had doubts about Li Mu's radicalism.

"We are short of funds now and we are not able to launch a counterattack against the Spaniards." Caspar Hardy puts facts and reasoning. If you want to fight, please go to fight yourself. Don't take the government of the Republic of Cuba to accompany you to be buried. Anyway, I have no money.

"The lack of money in the government does not mean that there is no money in society. San Diego has never been a slum. As long as you want, raising millions of dollars in San Diego is easy." Li Mu encouraged Casper Hardy to activate his own potential.

Li Mu's suggestion is to hide evil intentions. The so-called "raising" is actually to encourage Casper Hardy and others to scrape the land. As long as Casper Hardy and others make the people live in poverty, they will completely lose the support of the Cuban people. At that time, it will be easy for Li Mu to find someone to replace them, and the wealth they plunder will become Li Mu's possessions.

"Raising--" Caspar Hardy did not notice the twists and turns here, and carefully thought about whether Li Mu's suggestions were feasible.

"I think it's OK. At the most critical moment some time ago, some people were not thinking about uniting themselves against the Spaniards, but transferring wealth to foreign countries and arranging their families to evacuate. I think these people are all accomplices of the Spaniards. Even if they did not inform the Spaniards, they affected the stability of Santiago, so they should pay the price." Rayleigh Toine was not polite, and the first knife was cut at his own people, and the reason for using them was extremely clumsy.

An affair with the Spanish?!

The last person to be worn with this big hat was Cespedes.
