457 Retaliation

At 5:45 pm, the sun sets, the moon is bright, the stars are sparse, and the lights are just on.

In this era that has not yet entered the electrical era, when it was time to come, everyone had to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

The situation is obviously different today. Half an hour ago, the staff of Junma Group started to work hard. They pulled out a roll of wires from the sewer next to the exhibition hall, and then connected the light bulbs together by the staff wearing safety helmets and orange work clothes.

New Yorkers are not unfamiliar with electric lights. Although electric lights have not yet entered the homes of thousands of ordinary residents, electric lights have been widely used in Central Park and Fort Park, especially the fully open Fort Park and Clinton Castle. Every evening, it has become the brightest scenery in Manhattan.

Although it is not unfamiliar, there is no curiosity at all.

When they saw colorful lamp posts standing up, both adults and children had no intention of going home, but surrounded the lamp posts, waiting for the moment when the lamp posts were lit.

At about six o'clock, there was no sign of warning. It seemed like a strong wind blew across the Junma Automobile Plaza, and it seemed like millions of spotlights flashed at the same time. Almost in an instant, 600 lamp posts on the square were lit up.

Afterwards, there were about a dozen lamp posts that were not lit for various reasons, one of which exploded because the voltage was too high in an instant.

This is all the beauty and no one cares about these small details. When the lamp posts were lit one after another, people in the square were cheering, and even if there were one or two accidents, they became a remedy in joy.

The staff of Junma Group took the opportunity to start another round of publicity. The entire square was filled with colorful flyers printed and blond beauty with bright smiles that made people unable to refuse.

"Sir, you must understand that our Junma Group is about to launch a home lighting system. It only costs ten dollars to install such a set of electric lights at home. You must know that two months ago, such a system costs 10,000 US dollars, so what are you hesitating about? You must hope that your wife and children will no longer have to endure the dim oil lamp..."

Similar words fill the entire square. In order to achieve the best results, the Junma Group has unified the fixed language skills. As long as you listen to the first sentence, you will definitely fall into the next language trap.

Junma Laboratory has finally made breakthrough progress in long-distance power transmission. Although the power transmission is not stable enough and there will be a lot of losses during long-distance transmission, it has solved the most basic transmission problem after all, so household electricity has finally been put on the agenda.

Junma Group is ready to build a hydropower station in the upper reaches of the Hudson River to provide electricity to the entire Manhattan. This will be the first hydropower station in the world and completely change people's living habits for thousands of years.

Compared with the previous power supply system of $10,000 per unit, ten dollars is indeed a low price. However, don’t expect to enjoy the best service at this price. The daily power supply time will be extremely limited. The reason why this technology is now introduced to the market is that Junma Group is to grab territory.

It’s not okay to not grab territory. Rockefeller is not a fool. The perpetual motion machine project has not yet seen progress. Rockefeller has also begun to look for new projects. There are many smart people in New York, and that is the Junma Laboratory. Research institutions such as Rockefeller Laboratory are already blooming everywhere in New York. Junma Laboratory, which has achieved achievements, have become the catch-up target of all scientific research institutions. As far as Li Mu knows, no less than three laboratories list long-distance power supply as a research project. Maybe when a certain research institution will make a breakthrough.

These institutes are not newborns without backgrounds like Edison's laboratory. Each institute has a large enterprise behind it, and it is no longer appropriate to use the simple and crude methods of the past.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, a large-scale fireworks show just began. Countless colorful fireworks rose into the sky and turned into countless gorgeous flowers in the sky. Although such fireworks party has appeared several times since Christmas, every time the fireworks appear, they can always make people feel intoxicated.

When countless fireworks began to bloom in the night sky, the joyful atmosphere finally reached its climax. However, such joy could not affect Clinton Castle. Because of the arrival of Ulysses Grant, the atmosphere was really tense.

"How about the attacked driver? Can you participate in tomorrow's qualifying race?" Grant came to New York yesterday, of course he couldn't hide this matter.

"No problem. Although the injury is a bit serious, I can guarantee that the people in our Junma Group are definitely tough guys." Li Mu knew what he said would make a president who was born in a soldier happy, which is also one of the reasons why Li Mu was invincible.

"That's good. When the qualifying matches, I will cheer him up in person." What Grant admires the most is the tough people. This can be seen from his style of employment. Since Grant took office, many military generals have been arranged to hold important positions in government departments. Although this has been criticized, you cannot ask Grant to do better, because military generals are the people he trusts the most: "Some people always want to degenerate themselves. The more they do, the more they will make mistakes, but many people don't understand this principle."

Grant seemed to be inspired, but the topic was unfolded.

"But they are just clowns. They will only hide in corners that ordinary people cannot see to make conspiracies, and they cannot become a big climate." Li Mu was confident. Perhaps due to his limited ability, Li Mu could not help Grant escape from the predicament, but Li Mu still didn't take these little troubles to the Junma Group.

Even if Mason was killed in the attack a few days ago, it would not shake the advantage of Junma Group in the rally.

The ranking of the competition is only one aspect. You are not focused on the organization of events outside the competition. For example, the fireworks performances are being performed in the square. At this level, it can be said that Li Mu and Junma Group have achieved success and have achieved the preset purpose. In other words, even if Jiahuanian has come to this point, Li Mu and Junma Group are winners.

"I really don't know who did it. You should have a goal..." Grant believes in Li Mu's strength in New York. From Li Mu's previous performance, Grant believes that Li Mu will not give up.

"Of course, although they hired gunmen from the south and were intermediaries made by the British, they probably forgot that this is New York, and they even used weapons produced by the Junma Weapons Company. It is really not troublesome to find them out. But I need your authorization so that I can handle this matter thoroughly." Li Mu has indeed already had a goal. As for whether there is evidence to support these words, who cares?

"Who?" Hearing that Li Mu wanted to authorize, Grant felt keenly that this matter was definitely small.

"The Japanese, only a small number of the four people involved in the attack. Their target is not actually Mason, or they have no fixed target at all. No matter who appears there at that time, they will become their target." Li Mu said with a conscience, as if he had really received a confession.

The relationship between the Junma Group and the Japanese government has dropped to a freezing point. The Japanese government once intended to repair it. For this reason, the Japanese Consul in New York, Nobu Watanabe, wandered in the Fort Park for a month, hoping to get a chance to meet Li Mu and ease the relationship between the Junma Group and the Japanese government.

Li Mu believes that when the Japanese government decided to open a smokeless gunpowder factory and ignored the interests of the Junma Group, the relationship between the Junma Group and the Japanese government was no longer likely to ease, so Li Mu did not give Watanabe Nobu. Even if Watanabe Nobu wants Arthur to reconcile, Li Mu still firmly refused.

After refusing the Japanese government's reconciliation, the revenge of Junma Group came so fiercely and resolutely. Although Junma Group is not able to promote legal documents such as the "Chinese Exclusion Act", Junma Group can use its own influence to prevent most Japanese immigrants from becoming US citizenship from San Francisco and New York. This is undoubtedly a blow to Japan, which has a small land area and urgently needs to export labor to the outside world.

The revenge of Junma Group was not only that. In October, when the newly born Bafan Iron Manufacturing sent people to the United States to seek further cooperation with the US shipbuilding industry and continue to purchase scrap ships to dismantle steel, Japanese talents were shocked to find that all scrap ships facing dismantling had been taken away by a strange company called the San Diego Shipyard, and the contract was signed in 1885 in one go.

That is to say, before 1885, Japan's shipbuilding or Japan's steel industry could not obtain any supplies from the United States.

This was a bolt from the blue for the newly born Japanese steel industry. The representative of Hachiman's ironmaking did not even return to Japan. He had no choice but to commit suicide in a small hotel in San Francisco.

It should be said that the Japanese government does not know that Junma Laboratory and Rockefeller Laboratory are both studying nylon. If there are results in this research, then the raw silk industry that Japan relies on to support the Meiji Restoration will be destroyed. I am afraid that the Japanese government's choice will not be assassination, but whether to launch a war.

"Japan, can you be sure?" Grant didn't believe that the Japanese dared to be so stubborn, and sent assassins to New York, so he was not far from Washington.

"Although the guy who escaped has not been caught yet, the three bodies left at the scene still proved a lot of information. My people recognized a guy named Jackson. He was from Florida, who participated in the Civil War and had no fixed job since the war. Someone had seen him dealing with a British man named William, and this William happened to be close to Nobu Watanabe Watanabe Watanabe. Can you imagine that their stupidity is incredible. Just ten days ago, Nobu Watanabe Watanabe deposited $100,000 in the Bank of America by secret, and William took the money." Speaking of this, Li Mu couldn't help laughing.

This is not stupid or stupid. The most dangerous place is the safest. There are always people who like to take risks. Now that Li Mu has discovered all this, it seems that Nobuna Watanabe and William are indeed stupid, but if Li Mu doesn't notice it, then Li Mu and Bank of America will become laughing stocks.

"The British, they are just a group of shameless cowards." Grant had no good feelings for Britain. The Palace of President was burned out by the British. The British almost got involved in the Civil War. Even the Battle of Montana that had just ended was mixed with the British.

"As sooner or later, they are going downhill now." Li Mu can't say hesitate to the British. Even if Nobu Watanabe can't find the British, he can still find French, Spanish or someone else as an agent.

"It seems that you really hate Japanese people very much." Grant understood this feeling, just like he looked at British people.

"If the British hate it, then the Japanese hate it a hundred." Li Mu did not deny that when Grant faced him, there was no need to hide it. Li Mu still had many plans to implement it.

"What do you want to do?" Grant finally touched on the essence.

"Calculate the time, Sasebo's factory should be put into production." It is not easy to make Li Mu suffer a loss. He must get up wherever he falls, and find the face he loses.

"Be careful, don't let someone catch the handle." Grant also understood, and instantly understood what Li Mu wanted to do, and there were still reminders that he should have.

This is also Grant's statement. Although Grant does not object to Li Mu's revenge on Japan, Li Mu should not plan to take the blame for the Junma Group.

"Don't worry, I have no plans to do anything. I just believe that good and evil will be rewarded. If you do something wrong, you will definitely pay the price." Li Mu is much more cunning than Grant imagined, and at least he will not go bare-handed.

After receiving Li Mu's promise, Grant finally relaxed and walked out of the second-floor living room with Li Mu. A grand banquet was being held on the lobby on the first floor, which was a welcome dinner specially held for Grant.

Seeing Grant finally appear, the president heard a shocking cheer and thunderous applause. All the Republicans were present. Everyone knew that the Republicans had not had a good time recently, and Grant was under great pressure, so everyone urgently needed to relax to meet the greater challenges.

"For New York!" Grant raised the wine glass in his hand to signal to everyone.

"For the Republican Party!"

"For Mr. President!"

“For the party tonight!”

It was indeed unhappy, and the response was a bit messy, just like the current situation of the Republican Party.
