Donations are originally part of the election.

The problems the Republican Party is currently facing are actually also present in the Democratic Party, but they are only of different degrees.

Relatively speaking, the Democrats handle this problem smarter. They started raising funds in the party a long time ago and issued bonds specifically for the election. So it seems that the Democratic Party’s problems are not as serious as the Republican Party.

In fact, it is all a valley. Although the Democratic Party is now attacking the Republican Party under the pretext of "corruption" all day long, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if the Democratic Party comes to power, it might be more excessive than the Republican Party.

The problem is that most voters do not know the morality of the Democratic Party. They still look forward to a significant improvement in the government's style of conduct after the Democratic Party comes to power. Therefore, although Li Mu has prepared a lot of off-trading moves, the effect of these off-trading moves remains to be verified, and it does not mean that Hayes will definitely win the election successfully.

Time flies, and June 1st is coming in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Will and Claudia held an engagement ceremony at Trinity Church in New York. There were more than 500 guests attending the engagement ceremony, the most eye-catching of them were US President Ulysses Grant, Republican candidate Hayes and Democratic candidate Samuel Tilden.

Ulysses Grant and Hayes were both invited by Will, while Samuel Tilden's arrival surprised both Mu and Will.

According to US law, American soldiers cannot have political inclinations, but soldiers can vote in the general election, so winning the support of the military has always been the top priority of the campaign work.

Considering the relationship between Will and Li Mu, although Will himself has never publicly expressed his political tendencies in public, by the time the election begins, Will will undoubtedly vote for Hayes.

In fact, Will's engagement ceremony was also a show. Although Samuel Tilden knew that his chances of winning were not high, he still had to actively strive for it. This is also considered to do his best and know his destiny.

During the ceremony, because the capacity in Trinity Church is limited, less than half of the guests can enter the church to watch the ceremony. More people have to stay outside the church, which can only be considered a gesture.

But even this "stance" is not something that everyone is qualified to have. Only by holding an invitation signed by Will or Li Mu in his hand can you enter the scope of Trinity Church on June 1st.

The engagement ceremony is different from the wedding ceremony, and it is not as grand as the wedding ceremony, but there are also oaths and ring exchange rituals. When Will and Claudia exchange rings, Li Mu and Gloria were in the first row of the church, and were able to observe all the processes of the engagement ceremony at the closest distance.

"I don't want to be so cumbersome when we get engaged." Gloria was wearing a dress, staring at the ring on Claudia's hand without looking sideways, and was muttering in a voice that only two could hear.

This move takes hard work and is not possible for ordinary people.

"How are you going? You can't do it in our living room at that time..." Li Mu looked at him without looking at him, but his words were also off topic.

"That's not bad. I just want to get blessings from our own people, and the others don't care..." Gloria was so excited that she didn't care about these red tape at all.

In fact, after all, getting married is a matter of two people. Even if it is enlarged, it is just a matter of two families. Li Mu is not willing to do so with such a labor force.

But when people live in the world, it is impossible for people to do whatever they want. They always have to consider the feelings of others. So regardless of what Li Mu and Gloria think, their engagement ceremony will definitely be more grand than Will and Claudia's engagement ceremony.

"If it were us on top... God, I really don't know if I would laugh." Gloria seemed a little ready to move, and it seemed that she couldn't hold back herself.

"Calm down, let's talk about our affairs later." Li Mu gave Gloria a vaccination. Today's stage belongs to Will and Claudia, and Li Mu doesn't want to cause trouble.

Fortunately, the exchange ceremony passed quickly. When Will and Claudia showed their engagement ring together, there was warm applause in the church. Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. According to the plan, this should be the last item.

"Next, please move to the Clinton Castle Hotel, we will start a real carnival and celebrate the couple's knot under God's testimony." The emcee came forward in time and announced the successful end of the engagement ceremony.

On the way to the Clinton Castle Hotel, Yan Shun reported to Li Mu about the event that happened outside Trinity Church: "At the beginning of the engagement ceremony, two groups of people wanted to forcibly break into the martial law area, one group of people was a Democratic supporter, and the other was a native of Montana..."

Li Mu can understand that the natives from Montana have caused trouble for Will, but why are those Republican supporters? Li Mu really can't figure it out.

"They wanted to make a big news and called a photojournalist, but our preparations were done more thoughtfully. We seized two cameras and four reporters..." Yan Shun's work was still a bit simple and crude, and Li Mu was a member of the same lineage.

In fact, the Democratic Party also has its own newspaper, but compared with Time, the influence of Democratic newspapers is really not worth mentioning, so Li Mu never took this seriously.

"If you deduct it, deduct it. Be careful not to hurt them, and release them tomorrow." Li Mu was also simple and crude. The so-called "freedom of the press" is just a joke for Li Mu.

For media workers, "freedom of the press" is something that must be adhered to, but in fact, the so-called "freedom" is also relative. Within the scope permitted by the rules, freedom can certainly be unscrupulous, but if some minefields are touched, "freedom" will immediately become a castle in the air, which has never changed even in the 21st century.

In fact, this is effective in all industries. The so-called "freedom" is a joke. The "freedom" that people have has has been carefully reviewed by some people or certain departments. Complete "freedom" never exists. Even in a utopia, freedom is a luxury.

"Springfield reported that Gogil wanted to take a train from Springfield to New York yesterday, but was stopped by the police and the Rifle Association. I came to send a telegram. What is the right way to deal with Gogil." Yan Shun immediately put the reporters behind his head and asked another difficult question.

Welcome to the little fat man. This guy is unwilling to give up, but he can do very little. Perhaps the little fat man wants to come to New York to "report the emperor", but in Springfield, if Li Mu disagrees, the little fat man can't even get on the train now.

"Tell Richard and Ryan that if they can help me solve this problem, I will donate $100,000 to the Massachusetts government and the Massachusetts Rifle Association next year. If they can't do it, it's easy, tell them that it's not just one or two people staring at the position of governor of Massachusetts, and the mayor of Springfield." Li Mu's connections in Springfield are not just Bruce Motley.

Bruce Motley is the current governor of Massachusetts. Li Mu originally entrusted the settlement of Zaihan factory to Bruce Motley, but now it seems that it is obvious that Bruce Motley cannot complete it.

The city of Massachusetts and Springfield will have a new election next year. Richard Wesley has made it clear that he will participate in next year's gubernatorial campaign, and Ryan Matthew is also preparing to run for the position of mayor of Springfield.

Richard Wesley was a Massachusetts Justice, and Ryan Matthew was previously the president of the Springfield Rifle Association. They actually had a chance to get what they wanted, but if Li Mu didn't think so, then their situation was very dangerous.

After all, there are not many things that need Li Mu to deal with personally. After Yan Shun reported these two things, he immediately kept silent.

The convoy arrived at the Clinton Hotel, and the hotel was ready for reception. The red carpet extended from the entrance to the entrance along the steps. On both sides of the red carpet were full of energy waiters. They all received special etiquette training. They smiled slightly and showed their eight teeth at the entrance level. The waiters who received complete etiquette training were no less professional than those of famous ladies. This was a special gift prepared by Li Mu for guests at the Clinton Castle Hotel.

"Welcome to the Clinton Castle Hotel..." Li Mu got off the car and immediately welcomed a group of beautiful women.

Li Mu did not forget to help Gloria open the car door, and then raised his hand to call Bresta over.

As Will's old subordinate, Bresta will of course do his best to be responsible for the security of the entire engagement ceremony on this special day.

Li Mu reminded Bresta in a relatively obscure way, but Bresta reacted quickly: "Don't worry, Reim, I mobilized nearly 400 policemen today, and even dispatched police forces from the Independent Centennial Exhibition. Now I can guarantee you that there will be no problems in the whole process, and no matter what, the mood of the guests will not be affected."

This is the best, and Li Mu can still trust Bresta, so he chatted with Bresta for a few words and followed Will and Claudia into the Clinton Castle Hotel.

Today's Clinton Castle Hotel is decorated with lights and colors, including ribbons and balloons in traditional Western rituals, as well as the red double joys in traditional Eastern rituals. These red double joys are specially requested by Will. Li Mu originally planned to use them at his engagement ceremony, but after seeing them, Will expressed his love for them very much, so it comes in handy now.

Of course Li Mu would not object to this kind of thing. In fact, it is difficult to have the chance to appear in top-level occasions in white society, so this is also an opportunity. Li Mu can be used to test the guests' acceptance of Han elements.

What made Li Mu feel gratified was that it was not just the big red couple, but Americans seemed to have a more special liking for big red lanterns. Rockefeller even asked Li Mu for a batch to decorate his home specifically.

When he was about to enter the banquet hall, Mason secretly gestured to Li Mu, so Li Mu made an excuse and came to the stairwell with Mason.

"We found that there were violations in the Japanese exhibition halls. They were selling souvenirs and traditional Japanese handicrafts privately, which violated the regulations of the Independent Centennial Exhibition. I think... should we do something?" Mason's words made Li Mu feel happy.

According to regulations, all countries participating in the Independent Centennial Exhibition can build their own national branch halls, which is considered part of the Independent Centennial Exhibition.

Japan has invested a lot in this regard, not only spending huge amounts of money to buy land in Manhattan, but also establishing its own branch hall.

In fact, this branch hall is not very useful. Many countries regard the branch hall as an office for receiving citizens. Japan did this before.

However, Japan has another purpose in building a branch hall. After the Independent Centennial Exhibition is over, the Japanese will rely on their branch hall to re-establish the Japanese embassy and consulate in New York.

In addition, regarding the sales of souvenirs, the Independent Centennial Exhibition has clear regulations that all souvenirs must be officially carried out by the Independent Centennial Exhibition, and other countries and states in the United States have no right to carry it out.

If we follow the past experience, this regulation will not cause any objection. The problem is that the souvenir sales at the Independent Centennial Exhibition are so popular. The so-called wealth is moving, so some people have the idea of ​​souvenirs.

The Japanese hit the gun.

"Don't come forward, inform the Independent Centennial Exhibition Organizing Committee. They will do more thoroughly than you." Li Mu wanted to take this opportunity to completely disappear in New York.

At this point, the relationship between Junma Group and Japan has become irreversible, so Li Mu will definitely not show mercy. The effect of Junma Group is not good, and it is more authoritative to appear in the official name. Li Mu did not want to show off this.

"Okay, I'll notify them immediately... In addition, the exhibition team of Zaihan factory will board the bus and return to Springfield today. Should we do something?" Mason did not dare to make a decision privately, but still wanted to seek Li Mu's opinion.

After Li Mu and Gloria confirmed their relationship, Yan Shun's identity became a little embarrassed, so now Mason is not only Li Mu's driver, nor is Li Mu's security supervisor, but also Li Mu's personal assistant. Many things that are inconvenient to Li Mu come forward are carried out by Mason.

"Since they want to leave, let them go, and there is also the exhibition hall of the Qing Empire. Since they don't want to use it themselves, cancel it for them and leave it to those who really need opportunities." Li Mu's way of handling it was very simple. It was originally a good thing for Li Mu to buy exhibits from the Qing Empire, but now that it is so troublesome, Li Mu doesn't care about the "general general".
