In late May, the latest Montana war report came, and George Dewey's troops were defeated again.

George Dewey is different from Sherman. He uses the big victory to replace Sherman against the Indians. The United States has high hopes for George Dewey.

George Dewey did live up to expectations. He defeated the Indians not long after he took office. The situation was very good. The whole United States was happy and was waiting for George Dewey to give another good news and completely defeat the Indians. However, after waiting for the news of George Dewey's defeat, it was really frustrating.

Strictly speaking, George Dewey's defeat was worse than the last Sherman defeat.

When Sherman was defeated, George Dewey could be expected. Now that George Dewey is also defeated, who else can be used? You can't let Grant get on the battlefield again.

"I believe George. Even if George retreats, it should be to achieve some strategic goal. This cannot be a defeat. Let's see. When the battle report comes again, it will definitely bring news of victory." Li Mu was confident in George Dewey and did not believe such news at all.

"That's not necessarily the case. People's hearts are floating now. Although the economy has recovered, the economic crisis has not left. If George was not defeated, the War Department should come out to refute the rumors. But the War Department has not yet made any movement, which is very telling." Rockefeller is not optimistic, and there will be no waves.

"No matter what, life must continue. Do what we can do. This is our responsibility." J·p·Morgan was open-minded and did not spread rumors or believe in rumors.

Li Mu and the others were chatting at Clinton Castle, which was more similar to a salon, and only a few people were qualified to participate. J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller were regular visitors.

"I hope George is really defeated, so that I can buy the bottom again." Rockefeller became shameless and had no lower limit. He would definitely not be punished for himself.

"There is also a chance now. War bonds fell by three points this morning, and I bought a lot." Li Mu was proud. This was not considered a big profit in war, but supported Washington to quell the rebellion.

In fact, the US government really has no money. The US dollar is not an international currency these days, and it is not easy to cut wool. Therefore, if the US government wants to do something, the easiest way is to issue bonds. The US government has a long history of issuing bonds. It began to issue them during the War of Independence. This time, in order to attack the Indians, Washington issued another 10 million US dollars of war bonds. As a result, when the bonds were issued, it encountered an economic crisis. The sales of bonds were not good. Li Mu had already bought a lot. This time, taking advantage of the decline in bonds, Li Mu took advantage of it again, which was also considered to support Washington with practical actions.

J·p·Morgan and Rockefeller smiled but said nothing. It seemed that these two people bought a lot.

"Pi Bo, do a favor. I want to acquire shares in Chuntian. Can you contact me?" Speaking of capital operations, Li Mu still has to rely on j·p·Morgan.

Speaking of status in the US economy, J.P. Morgan is not as good as Rockefeller, but Rockefeller is known as a "robber tycoon", so when it comes to popularity, Rockefeller is really not as good as J.P. Morgan.

The negotiations between Junma Group and Dylan Stevenson were very smooth, and the price had basically reached an agreement. Li Mu would acquire the shares in Dylan Stevenson for $4.2 million. Li Mu was acceptable at this price, so he has entered the substantial stage.

Li Mu is not enough to control Chuntian by the shares in Dylan Stevenson, so Li Mu also needs to contact other Chuntian shareholders to acquire more shares so as to achieve the goal of controlling Chuntian.

"What are you doing? You really want to merge with Springfield, Colt and Winchester?" j·p·Morgan immediately understood what Li Mu meant.

"Why not? If Springfield, Colt and Winchester are merged, the horse will become a big company comparable to Krupp and Enfeld, which is beneficial to us." Li Mu did not hide his intentions. It is unlikely that he would hide this scale acquisition in the United States from J.P. Morgan.

"What an ambitious guy. I can try it, but it's not guaranteed." j·p·Morgan promised to help.

"Thank you very much-" Li Mu sincerely. With J·p·Morgan's help, it can save Li Mu a lot of trouble.

"I suddenly remembered that Winchester still has a part of its shares pledged to me. How about it? Do you want it?" j·p·Morgan provided Li Mu with an unexpected news.

"Winchester - of course!" Li Mu is welcome, even if it is a premium acquisition, Li Mu will get it.

To put it bluntly, j·p·Morgan is a loan shark. If you want to get money from him, you must have collateral. Needless to say, someone's capital is not moving, so he used Winchester shares as collateral to borrow money from j·p·Morgan.

Now is an economic crisis. People go bankrupt every day and people jump off buildings every day. If the money is not paid back, the shares will become j·p·Morgan. j·p·Morgan is a capitalist. At least he is not interested in industry yet, so j·p·Morgan is willing to transfer these shares to those who really need them.

"Reim, if you have the heart to buy Springfield, you might as well focus more on our gas station. God, do you know how many gas stations we have now?" Rockefeller was dissatisfied and believed that Li Mu was not going to misunderstand his job.

Li Mu really doesn't know how many gas stations have been built now, but Li Mu has injected nearly one million US dollars into Standard Oil. According to this ratio, Standard Oil's gas stations should be at least spread throughout New York and Boston.

That's right, although cars have appeared, due to production, cars are still a rare thing now. There are less than 500 cars on the market, so gas stations do not need to spread to other areas, and are only built in New York and Boston.

"I believe in you, so I will transfer all my rights to you." Li Mucai, no matter how many gas stations there are, gas stations are just a remedy for Li Mu. The focus of Junma Group's business is military industry, which has never changed.

"Don't force me. If you want to keep your shares, then you'd better be diligent." Rockefeller even more dissatisfied.

In order to build a gas station, Rockefeller established a new company - Mobil Petroleum. Li Mu accounts for 40% of the shares of this company, which mainly sells refined oil.

When Li Mu joked that he only asked for 40% of the shares, he still heard the words. At that time, Rockefeller even joked why Li Mu didn't want it. Li Mu responded that he was afraid that Rockefeller would kill him in the future.

Although Mobil Oil has not been established for a long time, its potential is heart-wrenching. Rockefeller really wants to kill Li Mu now, so that Rockefeller can completely control Mobil Oil.

Of course, "killing" is just a thought. Although Rockefeller has gunmen, Li Mu has more gunmen and has stronger combat power. If you really need to start practicing, Rockefeller has no advantage.

Although it cannot be done, if there is a chance to reduce Li Mu's holding ratio, Rockefeller will definitely take action.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to ensure the monopoly of Standard Oil, then you'd better be honest." Li Mu was not polite. If Rockefeller was not honest, Li Mu didn't mind getting "Standard Oil" out.

The monopoly of standard oil is based on the control of oil fields and refineries. At present, more than 90% of the oil fields discovered in the United States are controlled by Rockefeller.

Although Rockefeller's oil empire seemed to be solid, Li Mu knew that there were still many oil fields that had not been discovered. If Li Mu had created several large oil fields now, Rockefeller's oil empire would collapse quickly.

At least it is no longer an oil trust.

"Reim, do you know something?" Although Rockefeller didn't know what Li Mu had, Rockefeller was very sure. As long as Li Mu spoke in this tone, it would mean that Li Mu was sure to take Rockefeller.

"Reim, if there is any good news, don't forget that you have an old friend." J·p·Morgan suddenly interrupted.

J·p·Morgan is not stupid either. If he can get a piece of the pie, j·p·Morgan doesn't mind making Rockefeller uncomfortable. Anyway, j·p·Morgan's business and Rockefeller's business do not conflict.

"Haha, don't worry." Li Musheng was sure of his victory and didn't care about Rockefeller's threat at all.

"No, you must know something. Tell me quickly, for the sake of our alliance." Rockefeller became increasingly uneasy.

"It's useless to tell you now, wait a little longer, it's not the time." Li Mu is not planning to get out his trump card yet, and it's really not the time.

Just late last year, Li Mu asked Henry to contact the Texas government and purchased about 200,000 acres of land from Texas to build a super-large farm.

Sorry, 200,000 acres are really not a super-large scale at this time, and they are not even large-scale.

But below these 200,000 acres of land is the East Texas oil field with a reserve of more than 680 million tons.

Texas is the second largest state in the United States, second only to Alaska. In 1835, Texas was independent from Mexico. In 1845, Texas joined the United States and became the 28th state in the United States.

Although it is already American territory, Texas has almost no development in recent years. When Henry came to this area, he saw an extremely desolate scene. Although there were some woods, the land was extremely barren, the traffic conditions were extremely bad, and there were even few families in the entire area.

Henry wrote a report to Li Mu, specifically introducing the situation in East Texas, emphasizing that there is no potential for developing a ranch here.

Li Mu definitely couldn't tell this land that there was a lot of oil hidden under it, but Henry just bought it at all costs.

Henry had no choice but to buy the land from Texas for a dollar per acre.
