Unlike George Dewey, who was in his prime, William Sherman, who was born in 1820, is nearly 60 years old, and there is a huge gap between his age and Li Mu, so Li Mu is not suitable to be brothers with William Sherman.

Li Mu had no objection to William Sherman himself, but he couldn't help but Will whisper in his ears every day, and Li Mu even disliked William Sherman a little more.

It should be said that at this time the soldiers still retained some gentlemanly demeanor. On the battlefield, although some people did whatever they could to win, more people still showed enough humanitarian spirit.

William Sherman belongs to the former. In order to win, William Sherman can do anything to make a fire at Atlanta. This decision has brought heavy disaster to the people of Atlanta. They shouldn't have paid the war, but because of William Sherman's thoughts, the entire city was burned. Even Will, who was the Northern Army, couldn't stand this behavior.

In fact, from Li Mu's perspective, William Sherman's approach is not bad at all. War is a contest of comprehensive strength. In order to win, he should have done everything he wants. It is normal to set fire to the rear of the enemy. As for those innocent victims, don't be stupid. Who is innocent in the war? The arms dealers never compassionately.

If William Sherman knew that Li Mu thought so, then William Sherman would definitely attract Li Mu as his confidant. In fact, because of the burning of Atlanta, William Sherman has been criticized over the years and has received far less praise than actually made. Speaking of this, William Sherman was also a bitter cry.

"If possible, I hope you can speed up the research of 254mm artillery. In modern warfare, the technological content is getting higher and higher, and the caliber of the artillery is getting bigger and bigger. It is best to blow up a city with one shell. That day, it will definitely be the end of the world for us humans." Even if William Sherman complained, he cannot do without his old career. The situation he said has become a reality in the future, but not only did humans not reach the end, but instead achieved a subtle balance of power, which really shocked many people.

Nuclear war is really not fun. The most powerful nuclear weapon is the nuclear weapons that stay in the arsenal. Why do those small countries desperately try their best to build atomic bombs just to have this deterrent power? William Sherman is still unable to understand this mood now.

"Maybe it will appear one day. Unfortunately, we have no chance to see it. As for the 254mm cannon, I can guarantee that this will be successfully developed in our lifetime." Li Mu was still relatively restrained when chatting with William Sherman. If he had chatted with George Dewey, Li Mu would have brag about his awesomeness long ago.

Regarding nuclear weapons, Li Mu may be able to catch up with them in this life, but William Sherman must not be able to see them. Even because of Li Mu's appearance, it can be imagined that the strength of the United States will definitely be stronger than in history. Therefore, it is possible to decide whether it will appear in the later stage. Whether it will be decisive is lacking in the prerequisites that have a decisive role.

Some people say that technology is the primary productive force, but in fact it is not right. War is the primary driving force for human development. Only when the real moment of life and death can the potential of scientific researchers be 100%. At this time, their efficiency is the highest.

William Sherman was also a naval expert. At that time, William Sherman strongly advocated the development of the navy and marched into the ocean, and had a large number of fans in the military. When Alfred Mahan wrote "On the Right to the Sea", there was a shadow of William Sherman's military thought.

"In fact, the 203mm caliber artillery has many shortcomings. As the main gun, its power is too small and the range is too close. As the secondary gun, it is too powerful and will affect the firepower balance of the entire ship. Therefore, the 203mm caliber artillery is destined to be just a transitional product. Come on, you can get the 254mm caliber artillery out, and you will find a way to get Congress to award you a medal." William Sherman also worked hard, and in order to seduce Li Mu, he brought Congress out.

Speaking of the influence on Congress, Li Mu is not a little better than William Sherman, but Li Mu does not have the need to point out the matter, so he still has to give the face: "If you want to say that, then the 254mm caliber is also a transitional product, and there will be 305, 354, or even 406 in the future, and there will be no end on the road of scientific research."

At present, only the British in the world have mastered the manufacturing technology of 254mm caliber artillery. Although the Junma Research Institute and Krupp have strong scientific research capabilities, they started late in the process and are temporarily lagging behind in this regard.

However, Li Mu is very confident that as long as the current situation continues to develop, it will not take long for Junma Laboratory to overcome the technical difficulties of 254mm caliber artillery, and the United States will also complete all-round surpassing the United Kingdom.

The meal was quite enjoyable. William Sherman gave Li Mu enough face. There was no big talk at the dinner table, which made Li Mu basically satisfied.

After dinner, Li Mu returned to the hotel arranged for Li Mu by the New Haven factory, and started wave after wave of reception again.

For Li Mu, this kind of "received" may have become a burden. The process is similar every time. First, listen to the "report" full of praise for a day, then make a brief comment, and pay attention to encouragement at the end. The entire meeting time is controlled within ten minutes. Many times, Li Mu's words are similar, and basically follow the script. For activities like this, there are scripts from the process to the lines. For Li Mu, such activities can be described as "boring", but for those who are qualified to report their work in person to Li Mu, this is the best reward for their hard work for a period of time. Therefore, Li Mu must make himself look serious as much as possible, so that they can leave a beautiful memory for them.

After finishing all the work, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. Li Mu could rest for about three hours and then start another busy day of work.

This is why Li Mu is unwilling to handle specific work. Fortunately, Henry is there, otherwise Li Mu would not be able to live such a day.

The next morning, New Haven Harbor was decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere, everyone was full of joy, and a festive atmosphere was everywhere.

In order to ensure the safety of the handover ceremony, the US Navy and the New Haven Municipal Government have designated the entire New Haven Port as a restricted area. The Marine Corps and the New Haven police department are on duty together, and there are also many National Guard members, who are peripheral security forces.

"At this kind of occasion, shouldn't it be an opportunity for Spring Security Company to make a big splash? Why can't I see the staff of Spring Security Company at the scene?" Li Mu thought for a long time and finally remembered something was wrong.

In New York, basically all large-scale open-air events are indispensable for Springfield Security employees wearing black uniforms. This has almost become a beautiful landscape in New York. Like the New York City Mounted Police, it is the most trustworthy person in the hearts of New York citizens.

Although Li Mu can also be sure that Springfield Security Company must have branches in New Haven. In fact, in major cities across the United States, as long as there are subsidiaries or offices of Junma Group, there are staff members of Chunta Security Company. The arms industry is the core industry of Junma Group, and the New Haven artillery factory is a top priority, so there must be a distribution of Chunta Security Company here.

"The New Haven branch is engaged in more private security services, and of course there are public services. However, the New Haven city government is more concerned about face and requires our employees to appear in public and must wear the costumes of the New Haven police station, so..." Yan Shun's voice came in time, and the answer made Li Mu laugh and cry. It turned out that there were employees of Chuntian Security Company at the scene, but Li Mu, the boss, didn't know.

It seems that compared with the New York City Government, the New Haven City Government is still more conscientious. At least the New Haven City Government is not ready to use Springfield Security as a scapegoat at any time, otherwise the New Haven City Government would not allow Springfield Security Security security personnel to wear the uniforms of New Haven City police.

Of course, this is more likely that the New Haven City Government has not found the correct way to open the "temporary workers", otherwise the current situation would have been not the case.

The 18 artillery waiting for delivery on the dock side have been prepared. Due to the technical conditions at this time, each artillery, including the base, weighs an astonishing 40 tons. Judging from the appearance alone, the thickness of the barrel is comparable to the future 305mm artillery.

This already represents the most advanced technology level in the world except the United Kingdom. Although Li Mu was unwilling to accept it, there was no other way to imagine. After all, compared with an old imperialist country like the United Kingdom, the United States' military industry background is still too weak after all. At this time, American technology can give birth to epoch-making products such as automobiles, but it cannot give birth to too many military products beyond the times.

Unlike Li Mu's suit, William Sherman and George Dewey were both wearing military dresses. They were mixed in military teams and chatting with a group of naval generals, especially George Dewey. This guy was so terrible that he seemed to have endless topics to talk to everyone.

Before the handover ceremony began, Li Mu and New Haven Mayor Daniel Moses took the opportunity to get along.

Like Li Mu, Daniel Moses is also a Republican and also from Springfield. This is an unexpected surprise for Li Mu. The two of them started talking from Springfield: "...It's such a beautiful place. I will never forget that when autumn comes, the beauty is so spectacular. Will always said that after retirement, you must go back to Springfield to spend your old age. I think so too, but I don't know what Springfield will look like at that time..."

This is so far. Li Mu is less than 20 years old this year, but he mentioned retirement as soon as he opened his mouth. This makes Daniel Moses, who is nearly sixty years old, feel so affectionate.

"Who knows what's going on in the future? I have to thank you. If you hadn't exposed the dark side of the Pacific Railway Company, I would have retired now..." Daniel Moses and Li Mu were chatting very enthusiastically. When the fellow villagers met, they were indeed crying.

When Li Mu defeated Mobile Credit Company, the outbreak of the Pacific Railway Company scandal, which triggered a high-level shock that almost affected the entire United States. This shock was not limited to the railway range, but related industries were also affected by the railway industry.

But according to Daniel Moses's meaning, he should be the beneficiary of Li Mu's exposure of the Pacific Railway Company scandal. It seems that this is also a person with a story, but Li Mu does not mean to ask the bottom line. Who can't have a secret? As long as Daniel Morgan doesn't take the initiative to talk about it, Li Mu won't ask.

"The artillery factory has caused a lot of trouble to the mayor and the municipal government here. I have always been grateful, but there is no appropriate opportunity to repay. After the ceremony is over, please be sure to give me a chance to have lunch together." Li Mu has now left the level of opening the mouth and began to contact feelings from a higher level.

If Li Mu speaks, he will look at whoever he wants, such as Hess and Arthur, maybe it is worth Li Mu speaks once. Even if Daniel Moses is fine, it is better to let the general manager of the New Haven Artillery Factory do it.

Li Mu said "grateful" is sincere. Heavy industries are actually high-pollution industries. Compared with "grateful", Li Mu should actually say "sorry".

Of course I'm sorry. Looking back, Li Mu still wants to put the artillery factory in New Haven. The transportation here is so convenient. The artillery on the dock will be loaded in a ship later. After a walk to the sea, I will be sent to the naval shipyard on the other side of New Haven Harbor. It's all saved.

"Of course, I also treasure a bottle of aged wine. You must have never imagined that I use grapes from Springfield. I can guarantee that compared with the champagne imported from France, my wine tastes not bad at all." Daniel Moses really had two brushes, which easily hit Li Mu's heart.

"Gentlemen, if it's about the same, let's start right away. Our lads can't wait. They ask me to express my highest respect to you on their behalf." George Dewey left the military phalanx and greeted him, and he was so old-fashioned that he was disgusting.

In fact, George Dewey is not old at all. There are several soldiers wearing effective military ranks in the room. They are obviously gray-haired. It is really funny to describe them as "young guys".

But this is the tradition of the navy. Whoever has a higher rank is his father. Compared with the army, the navy attaches more importance to these.
