664 Cooperation

Edmund Stevenson was an unexpected surprise prepared by Li Mu for Chris Bart. As Chris Bart's lieutenant colonel, it was not difficult to meet Edmund Stevenson, but it was almost impossible to attract Edmund Stevenson's attention. Li Mu created an opportunity for Chris Bart. After all, in the future, the Bahamas company wants to gain a foothold in the Caribbean, and it still needs the cooperation of the Guantanamo Navy.

"You should pay attention to maintaining a good relationship with Guantanamo. That is the key to whether the Bahamas can gain a foothold in the shortest time. Of course, you don't need to accommodate Guantanamo because of this. You should be tough when it's time to be tough-" Li Mu thought for a long time before finding a suitable statement to remind Mike Zhang: "It's similar to your previous relationship with the New York City Police Department."

Before coming to the Bahamas, Mike Zhang had been serving Springfield Security Company. Part of Mike Zhang's job was to be responsible for connecting with the New York City Police Department. Facts have proved that if certain conditions were given, Chinese people were indeed good at making relationships. When in New York, Mike Zhang fully utilized his advantages in interpersonal communication and had a lot of activity funds to make relationships with the police. The various casinos opened by Springfield Security Company also played an important role. Thanks to the less stringent supervision mechanism at this time, Mike Zhang had a very good relationship with the New York City Police Department and maintained a good relationship with Bresta himself. It is precisely because of this that Li Mu transferred Mike Zhang to the Bahamas Company, which was more conducive to Mike Zhang's performance of his strengths.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I won't be long before I'll let the commander and I kill the chicken head and burn yellow paper." Mike Zhang is confident that compared to the police, soldiers are actually more simple and more foolish. Mike Zhang is confident that it won't take long to get together with Edmund Stevenson.

"I was just trying to remind you that you must pay attention to this point. Don't mix Bresta with Edmund Stevenson. Edmund Stevenson is the commander and has received a complete higher education. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Officer's School. Do you think he will be brothers with you? Don't be stupid, you have to hold him." Li Mu said seriously. If the two people can't grasp the standards in their interactions, the effect will be counterproductive.

In fact, even if Bresta, although Bresta was just a little policeman around Will before, if he had not had a bonus with Li Mu, Bresta would not have looked at Mike Zhang directly, so this may give Mike Zhang an illusion that most Americans are very friendly to Chinese people. This idea is very dangerous. Don’t underestimate anyone in the world, especially those with a certain status. The reason why the superiors can get promoted is that they must be outstanding.

Although Li Mu was very serious and looked down on Mike Zhang's meaning, Mike Zhang didn't care. Looking at Edmund Stevenson who was chatting and laughing with Chris Barth, Mike Zhang curled his lips slightly and said with a little sourness: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I don't know what kind of person I am, and I will definitely not ruin your big event."

It seems that this guy is quite self-aware, that's fine. If Mike Zhang is not jealous, it will be Li Mu's turn to have a headache.

Speaking of goods, in fact, Li Mu has always wanted to improve Zhang Leye, Chu Wushuang and others' cultural level, at least their education seems to match the current Junma Group, so that it will not be so inconsistent. After all, Zhang Leye and Chu Wushuang and others are not very strict with each other. Zhang Leye used to be just a worker, but to put it nicely, he was just an engineer. Chu Wushuang was a gangster who was in the gangster before. Such an identity must not match the current senior officials of Junma Group.

The wish is good, but the reality is cruel. Perhaps because of the age of being too old, the memory of Zhang Leye and Chu Wushuang are very repulsive of the tutors and crash courses prepared by Li Mu for them. Zhang Leye is a little better, and Chu Wushuang has been abandoned by Li Mu. Li Mu hired a tutor for Chu Wushuang for nearly a year. The result is that he finally taught Chu Wushuang to learn 26 English letters, and there is no more progress.

"Don't underestimate yourself. You are now the general manager of the Bahamas company. You are in control of the most powerful armed force in the Bahamas region and may even be the most powerful armed force in the entire Caribbean in the future. Now you are qualified to become the commander of the US Naval Base in Guantanamo. What's wrong with such a thing?" Li Mu still wanted to cheer Mike Zhang up. Although Mike Zhang and others look good on the surface, they are actually inferior in their hearts. Li Mu wants to make them at least confident.

"So, I will make a batch of business cards in a few days-" Mike Zhang was just heartless and immediately a little swelling.

Because the printing technology of this era is not up to standard, it is basically handmade. The cost is quite expensive and not yet to the point of being a big mess. Therefore, Mike Zhang had no business cards at all before. Now that Mike Zhang has made a fortune, it is a matter of making a batch of business cards.

"Go and do it. Make a batch of gold foil and you must be worthy of your general manager." Li Mu finally generously asked Mike Zhang to use gold as a business card.

"You can't use gold. If you use gold, how can you be willing to give it to others?" Mike Zhang is not so wasteful. He wants to show off his business card. If the cost of showing off is too high, it will not be in line with Mike Zhang's personality.

"Reim, what are you talking about?" Edmund Stevenson finally remembered the real master and walked over with Chris Bart with a cup: "It's hard to imagine that Chris and I are actually alumni. Although we have a big age difference, we both graduated from Annapolis Military Academy."

Annapolis Military Academy is the US Naval Officer's School. Because this school is located in Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, it is also called "Annapolis Military Academy".

The U.S. Naval Officer School was founded in 1845. Judging from Edmund Stevenson's age, if Edmund Stevenson had studied at the Naval Officer School, then Edmund Stevenson should be one of the earliest students.

"Yes, I didn't expect that General Stevenson was my senior, which is my honor." Chris Bart was very conscious and immediately sent a high hat.

Don’t think that Americans are just stern and disdainful of human nature. In fact, it’s not the case at all. Americans can also be very sleek when needed.

"This is indeed a coincidence. In fact, the Affiliated School of Junma is also considering cooperating with the Annapolis Military Academy. In the future, more and more people will come to the Annapolis Military Academy. When I was in Cuba, Alfred and I discussed this issue many times. We agreed that only by establishing a strong navy can we build a strong country." Li Mu and Edmund Stevenson also have enough common language.

A preliminary cooperation agreement has been reached between Junma Affiliated School and Annapolis Military Academy. Junma Affiliated School will donate a special amount to Annapolis Military Academy in exchange for 50 special admissions quotas from Annapolis Military Academy to absorb graduates of Junma Affiliated School who are willing to join the Navy and enter Annapolis Military Academy to study.

As the only naval officer school in the United States, the quota of Annapolis Military Academy is extremely precious. The Qing government sent children to the United States to the United States, one of the purposes was to ask the United States to help the Qing Dynasty train a group of naval officers. From the first group of children studying in the United States to the United States, it has been five years since the first group of children studying in the United States. The children of that year have finally reached the age to study in higher education institutions. At this time, the Annapolis Military Academy suddenly refused to enroll in the United States on the grounds that there was no enrollment plan.

This is not because the Annapolis Military Academy discriminates against Chinese people. It is indeed because the students recruited by the Annapolis Military Academy have reached their limit. The US Navy has finally begun to prepare for external expansion this year. The Navy needs a large number of officers to supplement it, and it really has no spare time to cultivate naval talents for the Qing Empire.

Some graduates of Junma Affiliated School are willing to join the military. For this reason, the donation donated by Junma Affiliated School is specifically used to expand the Annapolis Military Academy. What's more, graduates of Junma Affiliated School have become American nationality and will serve the U.S. Navy even if they graduate from Annapolis Military Academy, they will serve the U.S. Navy, so Annapolis Military Academy has no reason to refuse.

Regarding whether Chinese people are allowed to join the US Navy, there has been a certain degree of controversy within the Junma Group. Some people believe that Chinese cannot waste their precious lives on helping the United States expand externally. Junma Affiliated Schools will spend more than $500 on each graduate in seven years, and Chinese must never work hard for white people.

This is an extremely short-sighted view. As an American, if Chinese people do not shed blood for the United States, then why should they allow American society to accept Chinese? This is a very realistic question. Why Jews have been criticized worldwide is because of the selfishness of Jews. Chinese cannot follow the old path of Jews. Sacrifice for the United States can be done, but those who sacrifice must be valuable and those who cannot sacrifice silently.

"This is a wise choice. Companies should have a certain sense of social responsibility, especially companies like Junma Group." Edmund Stevenson praised Li Mu very much.

As an old navy, Edmund Stevenson certainly pays attention to the development of the US Navy. If the Junma Group cooperates with the Annapolis Military Academy, it will win the favor of all navies and will continue to increase the influence of the Junma Group. This is a profitable deal.

"Of course, wise, you must know that I have received 50 places in the Annapolis Military Academy-" Li Mu accidentally put the bait, which was better than just opening a check for Edmund Stevenson.

"Oh, 50, let's talk about this later." Edmund Stevenson immediately took the bait. Who doesn't have a relative or old friend or something, Guantanamo Naval Base may not necessarily get 50 graduates from Annapolis Military Academy every year.

With military academy quota as a temptation, like a carrot in front of a donkey's nose, Edmund Stevenson immediately responded to his request and even agreed to sell the two soon-to-defunnels to the Bahamas at a discount. Although these are two destroyers using paddle wheels, warships are warships, and their performance is far greater than that of civilian ships, which solves the urgent need for the Bahamas Company, which is in urgent need of ships.

The United States is now undergoing large-scale replacements. Propelled warships will gradually replace paddle-wheel destroyers within a few years. With the Guantanamo Naval Base's status in the US Navy, the replacement must be in the second sequence. If you want to get the new destroyer as early as possible, you must want to make some external moves.

Of course, paddlefish will be eliminated sooner or later, so Mike Zhang felt quite wronged about this deal, so after the banquet, Mike Zhang was still muttering.

"Why do you need two paddle steamers? It costs 100,000 US dollars. A new ship that can be ordered from Vanderbilt Shipyard with propeller propeller and then loaded with our cannons. It is no better than two paddle steamers--" Mike Zhang sighed, unable to understand why Li Mu had to do such a loss-making deal.

"Mike, this is not the issue we need to consider. Mr. Reim does this, so there are naturally Mr. Reim's reasons." Chris Bart did not complain. Those were two real warships. What should I complain about? After graduating from the Annapolis Military Academy, did Chris Bart dream of having an opportunity to drive a warship on the ocean?

"Of course Mr. Li has his reason. What I am worried about now is where to find a suitable sailor. This is a warship. The commander said just now that the weapons on it will not be removed, so do we have qualified gunners? I'm afraid that those thick embryos won't even use rangefinders." Mike Zhang understood the importance of establishing a good relationship with Guantanamo Naval Base, so he only dared to say it privately, but he would never dare to say it in front of Li Mu.

The current employees of the Bahamas are from Panama. In addition to some Americans, some are Japanese mercenaries. These Japanese mercenaries performed extremely well in the war against Colombia. They were fearless and had an almost stubborn and firm attitude towards orders. Even if they knew they were to die, they would be ready to die. Therefore, these Japanese mercenaries were loved by Ford Benjamin in a very short time. This time, Ford Benjamin sent some Japanese mercenaries to the Bahamas to be cannon fodder. This is how Ford Benjamin likes Japanese mercenaries.

The Japanese are indeed brave in fighting, but their cultural level is worrying. After all, Japan has just begun the Meiji Restoration and has not yet had time to popularize compulsory education, so those Japanese really don’t know how to use rangefinders.
