Although Doug never mentioned the Junma Group from beginning to end, Tom knew that Doug was serving the Junma Group, so it was impossible to sell Levitra Shipping to the Japanese, which meant that Junma Group.

Tom has never met Li Mu, but Tom knows how powerful Junma Group is in New York. Compared with Junma Group, although Levitra Shipping Company has a history of 50 years, even when Levitra Shipping Company is in its best business conditions, compared with Junma Group's strength, it is like a toddler baby with no ability to resist.

So Tom could not refuse Doug's request, although Tom did not like Doug.

"Okay, I'll return the deposit to William." Tom had no choice but to surrender.

It's impossible not to surrender. The Irish man in front of him kept putting his hands on the holster at his waist. Although he noticed that the sword was tense, the little Chuck, who had always been familiar with Tom, tried to put his hands on the counter. Although his eyes were full of concern and guilt when he looked at Tom, he had no intention of helping him.

Tom didn't blame Chuck. In fact, when Doug appeared, Tom realized that there were only two ways to stay in front of him, either obeying or dying as unknown as Lewis.

Lewis is also the owner of a shipping company. About a month ago, Lewis sold his company to the Japanese. As a result, the contract was not yet fulfilled, Lewis was shot and killed at the door of the apartment in an unknown way. As for Lewis' ships, they all disappeared overnight.

No one knows where these ships went. Although the New York Police Department photographed the investigation, they said they did not regret it and should not have too much hope for the results. Although the people from the Shipping Association also went to Mayor Arthur and asked Arthur to be fair, there has been no results so far.

Tom felt that this case may never be successful.

It's easy to kill someone, just spend a thousand dollars to hire a Wanderer.

But it is not easy to get a dozen boats overnight. In New York, there are not many people with such strength. The Junma Group must be one, or the Vanderbilt family also has such strength.

Neither the Vanderbilt family nor the Junma Group could be offended by Tom.

"Smart choice, Tom." Doug patted the Irish on the shoulders. The Irish everyone showed a hideous smile. When they turned around and left, they did not forget to take away the glass of rum in front of Tom that they had never moved.

"Damn guy..." Doug cursed casually, raised his hand and asked Tom for another cup: "You just need not sell the ship to the Japanese. As for whether the deposit is paid or not, it's up to you. If William sues you on this reason, I will deal with him. Of course, this requires you to pay an additional commission."

Doug held Tom's shoulders and took a lot of money, but he didn't brag about this. Although Doug was not very good, he could still be trustworthy when it comes to professional qualities. Otherwise, Doug would not be qualified to serve for the Junma Group.

For litigation, it depends on who is initiated. If it is a lawsuit initiated by a company like Junma Group, it is impossible to say. It will usually be held within one month and then the battle will be decided quickly, and the court will rule a result that is beneficial to a large company.

If a large enterprise like Junma Group is a defendant, the result is hard to say. The investigation and evidence collection stage alone will probably take a year or two, and it will be even longer by the trial stage. Ordinary people cannot afford this time, and there is not so much money to waste on vampire-like lawyers.

Moreover, it may not be possible to win after the court is opened. The lawyer fee is so expensive. Although if the party cannot afford to hire a lawyer, the court can appoint a lawyer for free, but when he arrived in court, facing a lawyer group composed of lawyers Yishuier, he thought with his feet that the chance of winning was not very high.

"No, I will give it back to him." Tom has a bottom line of being a human being. It is abominable enough to tear up the contract. The deposit should be returned.

"Okay, okay, our Mr. Tom is such a gentleman." Doug patted Tom's shoulder without any shame and laughed.

Tom picked up the cup in front of him and drank it all, his face full of fatigue and helplessness.

"God always opens a window for you while closing the door, so praise the Lord!" At the same time, Benjamin raised his wine glass to advocate.

Benjamin now has taken off his military uniform and dressed in a suit and tie. His identity is no longer an officer of the US Navy, but a noble senator of Congress.

After returning to the United States from Hawaii, Benjamin returned to his hometown of Ohio and began his own political journey.

The Harrison family had abundant political resources, and Benjamin was elected as the Ohio Senator without any effort.

Of course, in Benjamin's mouth, his Senate path was full of thorns and bumps. In the process of being elected by the Senate, Benjamin won as much support as possible through the alliance and alliance, defeating his powerful competitors, almost turning the tide alone, just like Benjamin did when he was in Hawaii.

Others don’t know what Benjamin did in Hawaii, but Li Mu knew it very well.

However, Li Mu did not expose Benjamin's lies. It is rare for him to be elected as a senator. If you start a new life, let him be proud first.

"Praise the Lord!" Li Mu responded to Benjamin's initiative and picked up the wine glass in his hand.

When he became a senator, he would basically have to work in Washington in the future. Benjamin deliberately detoured Boston before taking office, and caught up with Li Mu.

"I bought a piece of land next to Luoying Lake, right next to your house, and we will be neighbors from now on." Benjamin was proud and very happy for his foresight.

Although Li Mu did not deliberately buy a house and buy land, there are still many properties under Li Mu's name. Li Mu's property is available in Riverside Town in Springfield, Governor's Island in New York, Lake Lost in Cherry Lake in Washington, Charles River in Boston, and even Oakland on the West Coast.

Relatively speaking, the property in Boston is not luxurious, but the area is still large, with a three-story main house, two-story side house, stables, swimming pool, garage, and gardens. There is even a small dock next to the Charles River, and the total area is not much smaller than that of MIT.

Although Li Mu is based in New York, the butler Raul did not ignore it. The daily life here is managed by another Raul. The two have no kinship, but the names just coincide.

"In this troublesome autumn, you must be careful not to get caught." Li Mu reminded with kindness.

Although Arthur's series of good governance in New York injected a shot of a booster for the Republican Party, overall, the situation of the Republican Party has not improved. President Grant is still criticized, and the Washington administration is still not trusted. Republicans still need to do more if they completely reverse the public opinion situation.

Li Mu doesn't want to wade into this muddy water, so in the past two years, Li Mu should have rarely gone to Washington to avoid being in the spotlight.

Li Mu can hide, but Benjamin, who has become a senator in Congress, cannot. Moreover, because of Benjamin's background and his past experience, Benjamin will become the focus of the Democratic Party. At that time, countless people will surround Benjamin and use a magnifying glass to observe Benjamin's every move, hoping to find an excuse to attack the Republican Party.

"If they want to find a breakthrough in me, then they are wrong and I will disappoint them." Benjamin is confident that even if he is unclean, Benjamin is confident that he will not give him a handle.

In fact, it is not easy to find a handle from Benjamin. The Harrison family is a prominent family, and ordinary teaching tricks do not work for Benjamin. Benjamin owns shares in San Diego Investment Company, which will bring millions of dollars in returns to Benjamin every year, so Benjamin will not have any problems in terms of money.

As long as there is no money problem, Benjamin is almost impeccable. Although Benjamin is a bit lustful, it is abnormal for a politician to be without a romantic affair in this regard.

"Whatever you want..." Li Mu clicked until he stopped, not thinking that something big would happen.

Li Mu now has more and more political resources, including Langkill, Chen Guofang, Burnside, and Benjamin, Li Mu has four hardcore alliances in the Senate. Thinking of this, Li Mu is a little proud.

Each state can have two senators, so there are only more than 70 senators in the Senate now. It is not easy for Li Mu to find four hardcore alliances, and Rockefeller does not have the strength.

"Don't worry about me anymore. If you are in that mood, you should care about your horse weapon factory." Benjamin smiled with a bad look. Although the meaning of ridicule was obvious, it was just a prank among friends.

"What's wrong with the Junma Weapon Factory?" Li Mu was confused, but since Benjamin issued a warning, it must be groundless.

"Bernapp is going to be unlucky." The mockery at the corner of Benjamin's mouth was still obvious, but this time it was not aimed at Li Mu, but at Bernap.

"Bernapp..." Li Mu was confused. Recently, Li Mu has been busy with the United States car rally, and has not really cared about the War Department.

Only in Benjamin's subsequent explanation did Li Mu know the whole story.

This starts with the previous whiskey group case. When the whiskey group broke out, Grant's brother-in-law Eble was involved as a "protective umbrella". Although Eble escaped from prison through Grant's efforts, the Democrats did not give up. They were trying to find more evidence to strive to punish all guilty people.

As a result, after searching, he found Bernap.

Large-scale transnational smuggling is organized crime, and the individual's strength is insignificant. Ebel's information is conclusive. In addition, there is also Bernap's asylum. Only under the protection of the military can we successfully escape the encirclement and interception of the Coast Guard and smuggle a large number of whiskey from Europe to the United States.

Bernap is still smart and knows to abandon the car to protect the coach. He threw out the scapegoat in time before the investigation, so the previous investigation did not involve Bernap.

The situation is different now. Since Grant cannot be involved through Ebel, the Democrats focus on Bernap.

It can be said that American officials these days must have been wronged if they are all criminals, but if people like Bernap are not investigated, they will be fine if they do not investigate. As long as they are investigated, they can find some faults for you.

Li Mu knew Bernap's nature. Mr. "10%" had long been famous. If you want to do business with the War Department, you must give Bernap a 10% rebate, and even Junma Group was no exception. So Li Mu was not surprised by the news.

However, it doesn't matter much. Li Mu had long expected that Junma Group and Bernap had an agreement on this day. As long as Bernap stepped down as Minister of War, Bernap could serve as a special adviser to Junma Group. Therefore, Bernap's investigation did not have much impact on Junma Group. Even if Bernap resigned in disgrace, Junma Group could still use Bernap's influence and relationship network.

Of course, Li Mu will definitely not give up trying to win over the next Minister of War, so Li Mu is concerned about the candidate for the next Minister of War.

"It's hard to say now. If Bernnapp leaves office, then the successor may be Burnside or Sherman. It depends on the President's idea." Benjamin told everything and told the news he knew one by one.

According to Grant's usual employment habits, Burnside and Sherman are indeed very likely. They were both generals of the Northern Army during the Civil War, and Grant's direct lineage was deeply trusted by Grant.

It's pretty good. Both of them have dealt with Li Mu, especially Burnside, who has a close relationship with Li Mu. After the baptism of the "Fight on the Long Street", it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a friendship between life and death. If Burnside comes to power, the cooperation between the Junma Group and the War Department will be closer.

"If it was Burnside, then who would serve as the chairman of the National Rifle Association?" Li Mu thought a little too much. The War Department is an official organization, and the National Rifle Association is a private organization. They are all partners of the Junma Group.

The National Rifle Association has a total of millions of members, much more than the War Department’s soldiers. From this perspective, the National Rifle Association is more important to the Junma Group than the War Department.

Burnside has been the chairman of the National Rifle Association. If he takes office as Minister of War, then Burnside will not be able to step down from the position of chairman of the National Rifle Association. If the successor is a stranger, then this is not good news for the Horse Group.

"This is hard to say, but if you want, your family is a pretty good candidate." Benjamin didn't know much about the National Rifle Association, but he could also give his own advice.

Li Mu thought for a long time before he understood who Benjamin was referring to.
