Situ Lei must have been mixed with water in what he said.

Although Li Mu is young in this life, his mental age is already mature enough and he is over the age of what he hears.

In the eyes of many Westerners, the faces of Easterners are not three-dimensional enough, so in the eyes of many Westerners, the Easterners look similar, which is an issue that cannot be ignored. Although Situ Lei said that the Japanese were the leader party on the San Francisco riots, this leader party may also be from the Hongmen.

In fact, there are many intrigues among Chinese people. Many people are civil war, internal and foreign war laymen, and rats are holding guns. In Li Mu's impression, although some people in the Hongmen do not forget their roots, it is impossible for everyone to forget their roots. As a gangster, it is too harsh to use moral standards to demand them. Don't forget that this is a country built by the United States, a country built mainly by white people. It is not easy for Chinese people to survive in the United States. It is impossible for them to rely solely on benevolence, righteousness and morality to influence white people.

Li Mu is the best example.

It is very simple to verify that Stu Lei's words are. Li Mu is not ignorant in San Francisco. In order to better immigrate from the Qing Empire, Corbyn Reim has the largest transfer station on the West Coast in San Francisco. The manager of the transfer station is Cole's lawyer from the legal department of Junma Investment Company. Li Mu only needs a telegram to verify whether what Stu Lei said is true or false.

So Li Mu was not worried, and even asked Situ Lei directly that Li Mu would verify Situ Lei's words.

"Don't worry, if Situ said half a lie, he would ask Situ Tian to thunder and would not die well." Situ Lei was not surprised and made a great oath to Li Mu.

"Don't need God to do it. If what you said is fake, I can replace God and make you unable to die a bad death." Li Mu was not polite and warned Situ Lei in his own way.

This warning is not intimidation, Li Mu does have this ability.

However, Situ Lei was quite brave, or because he had no ghost in his heart, he was not afraid. After hearing Li Mu's words, Situ Lei bowed and smiled, "Since that's the case, Situ is disturbing Mr. Li, please forgive me."

Very good, this means taking yourself as a hostage.

Li Mu admired this openness and believed Situ Lei eight points in his heart.

"How many people are there in Hongmen? I mean the kind that can be sent out to do business." Li Mu wanted to understand the scale of Hongmen, so that it would be convenient for his future positioning.

Li Mu had many things at hand and was inconvenient to come forward directly. He needed a man to help Li Mu deal with certain dark side matters, just like the New York gangs controlled by Tweed.

In the past, when Li Mu's people were not convenient to come forward, they would always hire gunmen to come forward. This method was not a long-term plan after all, and it was easy to leave a handle for people. Although gunmen were useful, they were not as caring as their own. So if the Hongmen had value to support, Li Mu would not mind setting up a Hongmen hall in New York.

The components of a city are not only official, but also require some dark side additions. From a certain perspective, these dark side are also necessary. Since they are necessary, they cannot afford to others. The mafia of noodles and the Yamaguchi group of Maruko, all of which are so ugly that they are not as majestic as the "Hongmen" when they are heard.

"Mr. Li, the eight inner halls and eight outer halls under the jurisdiction of the Lord of Hongmen Mountain, have thousands of nominal disciples. In fact, only three or five hundred people can be pulled out to do business at any time. It was a little better before, and white people lingered on the east coast and rarely went to the west coast. However, in recent years, white people have begun to move westward, and our Chinese have not had a good life." Situ Lei's expression was not very good-looking. An organization that had been developing for two hundred years, with only such people, no wonder they were bullied in San Francisco.

"I wonder what position Mr. Situ holds in Hongmen?" Li Mu didn't want his grandfather to come and go. In front of Li Mu, few people are qualified to call him.

"I dare not be called a sir, so I served as the Dongge ceremony in Hongmen." Situ Lei replied respectfully.

The East Pavilion holds the ceremony, probably the head of the auditorium, and belongs to one of the eight inner halls.

"New York, are the Hongmen interested?" Li Mu sent an invitation to Situ Lei.

"New York - What does Mr. Li mean?" Situ Lei's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of incredibleness when he looked at Li Mu.

"If the Hongmen is interested in New York's business, we might as well sit down and chat. You should know that there will be major changes in New York during this period. Instead of taking advantage of others, it is better for you Hongmen to come." Li Mu did not delay. In a word, the Hongmen now has not shown enough value to Li Mu pay attention to. Li Mu has the demand for the Hongmen, but it is not irreplaceable.

"Of course, everything depends on Mr. Li!" Situ Lei did not hesitate and seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Why, Mr. Situ doesn't need to ask the General Assembly for instructions?" Li Mu smiled, very satisfied with Situ Lei's decisiveness.

"It is the greatest blessing for the Hongmen to be favored by Mr. Li. My Hongmen is looking forward to it, and he will definitely only Mr. Li's leader—" Situ Lei couldn't wait to express his loyalty.

If you want to live in the United States, or want to live better in the United States, you must find a strong backer. This is the consensus of everyone in the Hongmen.

The Hongmen fought alone before, because the Hongmen did not find a suitable partner. If such a person appeared, there would be no big difference between being based in San Francisco and being located in New York.

Li Mu is a Chinese, and the Hongmen is a gang of Chinese, so in the increasingly harsh environment, seeking over to Li Mu is the best choice for the Hongmen, so Situ Lei, the leader of the auditorium, came to visit Li Mu.

"If possible, you can come here now. New York has been changing recently, and it is a good opportunity for the old to change the old and the new." Li Mu was even more decisive. It was not too late to do this matter, and the sooner it was to start, the more profits it would be.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, Situ will generate electricity to San Francisco now." Situ Lei did not hesitate and firmly grasped the olive branch handed over by Li Mu.

Fortunately, there is a telegraph room on the Governor's Island. If you don't have to go to Manhattan for sending telegrams, Li Mu placed Situ Lei on the Governor's Island, waiting for Cole's call to reply.

Two days later, Cole sent a report about the Hongmen: Just before the San Francisco riot, the previous generation leader of the Hongmen suddenly passed away, and the Hongmen was in chaos. In order to compete for the position of the leader, the Hongmen several bigwigs refused to give in, and they fought on the streets of San Francisco, which triggered a farce of white people being killed and injured. Then, when the Hongmen faced the attacks of white people, the Hongmen had not selected the new leader, which led to Situ Lei's trip to New York.

This explains that Situ Lei came to New York to ask for help from Li Mu, otherwise the Hongmen would have the dignity of the Hongmen, and these gang members who are used to being big brothers may not be willing to surrender.

With Cole's investigation report, Li Mu was not worried about Situ Lei's tricks. Although Situ Lei did not tell Li Mu and Li Mu did not blame Situ Lei for being a boss and making trouble, because rushing to be a boss and being a street fire was not a glorious thing. If it were Li Mu, Li Mu would have no shame to say it everywhere.

Just as Li Mu was sitting on the Governor's Island and watching the storm, the situation in New York became more and more tense.

The New York City Council will vote again on whether to impeach Tweed on December 20. If there is no accident this time, the vote will be passed smoothly. Tweed will lose its current immunity and the New York court will investigate the case of Tweed's corruption.

Tweed was certainly unwilling to fail because Tweed is still in office as mayor of New York, so Tweed is not powerless to resist. On the 12th, the congressman Brandt Hurst, who had previously proposed to impeach Tweed, was shot dead at the door of the apartment, and the whereabouts of the gunman escaped and disappeared.

On the 14th, George Jones, the issuer of the New York Times, was involved in a car accident. The driver died on the spot. An editor who accompanied him was seriously injured. Although George Jones himself survived, his legs were squeezed and had to be amputated.

On the 15th, the headquarters of Time magazine was hit by thugs. Although there were no casualties, the printing presses inside the headquarters were destroyed, the paper stored was burned, and the economic losses were more than 100,000 US dollars.

Li Mu couldn't suffer any loss. On the morning of the 16th, Ma Hongni, the leader of the New York gangster who was hiding in Brooklyn County, was killed in a villa. Those who died with Ma Hongni also included more than a dozen thugs under Ma Hongni, as well as Sidney Freeman, the secretary of the New York City Government.

"Reim, you made it difficult for me to deal with." Will held his nose and eyes up, not giving Li Mu a good face.

Will is not the deputy mayor of Springfield now, but the commander of the First Cavalry Division of the United States Army.

Washington finally decided to establish a standing army, with the first number being the "First Cavalry Division of the Army", also known as the "Guantanamo Infantry Division".

Yes, this unit was established on the basis of Guantanamo Infantry Regiment. The entire First Division had about 4,500 soldiers, more than 3,000 soldiers were Chinese, and the first division commander was Will, who performed well in Cuba.

Although Will's time to go to Cuba was short, he performed well in Cuba. In the second Battle of El Cristo, Will led the cavalry of Guantanamo Infantry Regiment to pursue the Spaniards. In the nearly half month of pursuit, Will led the troops to travel more than 700 kilometers and fought fiercely with the Spaniards more than 20 times. The soldiers killed and captured were more than fifteen times the total number of soldiers led by Will. Will became famous as George Dewey.

Recently, Washington finally confirmed the establishment of the Standing Army, and George Dewey, who has been confirmed to go to Montana to replace Sherman, nominate Will as the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division.

Grant agreed to George Dewey's nomination.

According to the plan, Will should lead the First Cavalry Division to Montana with George Dewey, but because New York's security situation has become dangerous recently, Will's first stop was changed to New York.
