Francisco could never have imagined why an army composed of Orientals would have such powerful combat power.

If it was defeated by the army composed of whites, Francesco could still forgive himself, but it was unacceptable to a group of troops composed of Easterners.

The ancient Eastern empire was an unforgettable shadow for the Westerners, but thirty years ago the British launched the Opium War. They completely uncovered the last fig leaf of the Qing Dynasty, allowing Westerners to truly realize that the once extremely powerful Eastern empire is now strong on the outside and on the inside.

Those Orientals with braids have become jokes among the white Westerners since thirty years ago.

Before this, Francesco believed that the army with braids was ineffective, and as weak as their appearance, they were as weak as women.

It was obvious that Li Mu, who was sitting in front of Francesco, did not have braids. Although he had the same yellow skin, Francesco confirmed that the yellow man in front of him was more cruel than all the yellow man he had met before. If he had no restraint, Francesco believed that this guy named "Rim" would definitely strip him naked and drop him at the gate of the military camp.

This guy can definitely do such a thing!

By the way, this Lim is not an oriental. Although she looks like an oriental, this Lim is an American-

Thinking of this, Francisco felt a little better.

Li Mu didn't know that Francisco's inner struggle was so fierce. Seeing that Francisco finally calmed down, Li Mu smiled and nodded, raising a cup to Francisco.

"Do you want a cup?" Li Mu didn't want to be rude. After all, he was a viscount. When he arrived on his territory, the friendship between the landlords would still be over.

Francisco didn't say anything, and looked at Li Mu with fear.

"Where are you from? Mr. Francesco." Li Mu tried to slander from Francesco. He finally caught a viscount, so he had to get some information.

"I am the Viscount Elbiso of the Kingdom of Spain. My family will pay me a ransom, and I ask for the treatment I deserve-" Francisco did not answer Li Mu's question. Although he was captured, Francisco did not seem to have completely lost his self-esteem, and this sentence was the only sentence over and over again.

"Okay, it seems that you don't want to cooperate, so you can stay here before the war is over until your family pays you a ransom." Li Mu stopped talking nonsense with Francesco and waved his hand to order Mason to throw Francesco into the prisoner-of-war camp.

Well, Will did not kill all the servants, and more than 300 servants were captured. They were all taken back to Guantanamo, waiting for them endless labor until the end of the war.

Li Mu does not raise idle people here, even the Viscount who can sell money.

Seeing Mason taking away the helpless Francisco, Li Mu picked up the battle report on the table.

Just yesterday afternoon, Viagra Nikolai launched its fourth offensive, and this time there was still no progress. From the beginning of the war to the present, the soldiers under Viagra Nikolai have lost nearly 10,000, but they have no instability. The Spaniards have not even broken George Dewey's first line of defense.

George Dewey's telegram to Li Mu still urged Li Mu to order the Guantanamo infantry regiment to move to the Spanish flanks, restrain the Spanish troops, and prepare to launch a counterattack on the Spanish.

Li Mu was determined to wait for the mortar. Without artillery help, Li Mu would not order the troops to advance towards El Cristo.

On July 20, a cargo ship from New York finally brought Li Mu's long-awaited mortar to Guantanamo.

With Li Mu's guidance, the development of mortars did not take detours, and they were on the right path from the beginning.

With Li Mu's guidance, the mortars produced by Junma Weapons Company are the same as those common artillery runs in the 21st century. In addition to being slightly inferior due to the insufficient power of explosives, there is no rifle in the barrel, and it also launches tail bullets, and it also sits on the sheet to withstand recoil.

Artillery is different from machine guns. Even if the structure of the mortar is relatively simple, it still requires some training to operate the mortar. For this reason, Junma Weapons Company sent more than a dozen engineers, who were responsible for training artillery soldiers to use mortars, and also recorded data so as to feedback back to Junma Weapons Company to improve the mortars.

Most of these engineers were poached by Junma Weapons from other arms companies. Two of them were from Krupp in Germany. They brought Krupp's latest technology to Junma Weapons, tight gun body and locking locking machine, which provided the possibility for Junma Weapons to manufacture large-caliber artillery.

There are also two professors from MIT in the team of engineers who are responsible for improving the computing power of artillery soldiers.

Green Giles, who came to Guantanamo with the mortar, came to communicate with Li Mu about the construction of Guantanamo as Grant's special envoy.

"Reim, you're so proud of your time--" Green Giles and Li Mu are old friends, and they joked with Li Mu as soon as they met.

"Haha, Green, it seems you're promoted again-" Li Mu noticed that Green Giles brought several secretary and entourage, and the director of the Audit Department of the Ministry of Finance did not have this style.

"Haha, thank you for your blessing. I am now the Chief Executive of Guantanamo and I am ordered to come and handle the handover with you." Green Giles shook hands with Li Mu seriously, and used a little force.

"Welcome, please rest assured, I will cooperate with you with all my strength." Li Mu understood what Green Giles meant, and it seemed that he was going to get rich again.

It is indeed necessary to make a fortune. After three months of preparation, Washington finally came up with a plan to build Guantanamo. In order to protect Guantanamo, an isolated territory, the US government will build Guantanamo in a large scale to ensure the interests of the United States.

In this plan, Washington is going to build a shipyard in Guantanamo Bay, and expand the docks in Guantanamo, and the forts and military camps are also going to expand. According to the information provided by someone, Washington will also hire an army to protect Guantanamo.

It is an economic crisis, and Washington's plan is not too much. The investment in the first phase of the project was only seven million dollars, and Green Giles was appointed as Guantanamo's first chief executive.

"It's only seven million dollars, which is too little." Li Mu looked at the plan given by Green Giles a little disgusted, and did not notice the bitter smile on Green Giles' face.

"It's still 'so', I guess it's only you who breathed so much." Green Giles shook his head and sighed, and his eyes at Li Mu were filled with "You're out of salvation."

"Okay, okay, this is really a big deal. Let me see what parts have to do with me." Li Mu didn't care and began to think about what kind of benefits he could get from this plan.

"Your Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, I'm going to hire a thousand soldiers, are there any problems?" Green Giles began to get into the state.

"Of course, $100,000 a month, and the soldiers' salary is paid by Washington." Li Mu offered the price, not thinking that $100,000 is a big figure.

"Hundred thousand dollars? Why don't you grab it?" Green Giles disagreed.

It is impossible to agree that hiring one thousand soldiers a hundred dollars per month is 100,000 dollars per soldier, and Washington has to pay the salary of these soldiers. This price is indeed a bit expensive, and even the serious American soldiers are not that expensive.

Li Mu raised 5,000 people, and even consumed food and drinks for food and drinks, only 100,000 US dollars a month, including the salary Li Mu paid to the soldiers.

"Is it very expensive? If soldiers are sent from the United States to Guantanamo, then Washington will not only have to pay the salary, but also pay the soldiers a special allowance for overseas stay. It would be better if it counts like this." Li Mu did not think that the price was expensive. Compared with American soldiers, the price was very cost-effective.

It is a different matter for the army to be stationed abroad and domestic. If a garrison is dispatched from the United States to Guantanamo, it means that the soldiers will not be able to see their families over the years, so the allowances that Washington has to pay will be higher than the original salary. Moreover, Cuba is currently in a state of war, and this is a war zone, and the cost of garrison will be higher. The key is that the United States now has no army, so the US government is now unadjusted, and Li Mu is a rare commodity, so the price is really not high.

"That's too expensive. I'm going to give you a discount for the sake of being the Chief Executive." Green Giles and Li Mu were close to each other, and this was Green Giles' killer weapon.

"Okay, for the sake of yours being the Chief Executive, I'll give you a discount, then - 95,000 US dollars." Li Mu gave face and gave it to the discount.

In fact, even if there is a little more discount, the government's money is always the best to earn. This advantage is not taken away. Guantanamo will not face too much threat on land, so sending regular troops is a bit of a waste, so it's better to get some militia to make do with it. Of course, regular troops can also come and rotate, just treat it as vacation. Anyway, the US government is responsible for the salary.

This business will not be compensated.

"You are such a vampire, so I still need five thousand workers." Green Giles didn't bother with Li Mu. Originally, it was just a show. Anyway, Li Mu would not miss Green Giles's share.

"Each person has 20 US dollars per month, 5,000 workers, I promise to be in place within three months." Li Mu still waved his big knife and offered a price according to the wage level of workers in the United States.

"It's another one hundred thousand, I suspect that you only have this number in your mind." Green Giles didn't give up the discount this time, just five thousand dollars, and he really couldn't open his mouth.

"Ha, if you want 10,000 workers, I promise not to offer a price of 100,000." Li Mu was very happy. The 100,000 here is a month, not every year, not to mention that Li Mu has a way to not give a penny to those workers, which is all earned by Li Mu.
