From Li Mu's standpoint, this is definitely not something he is doing, but from Benjamin Harrison's standpoint, it is not necessarily true.

Although the War Department and the Far East Company are currently in a cooperative relationship, there is still a certain degree of competition. The Far East Company hopes to obtain enough profits in Luzon, so it would rather exclude the War Department from Luzon. If the Far East Company had not been able to deal with the Spanish colonial fleet, the Far East Company might not even need the Pacific Fleet. If this is the case, then Li Mu may indeed deliberately cause some trouble for the War Department, even if it would damage the reputation of the Junma Weapon Company.

Of course this is Benjamin Harrison's understanding. From Li Mu's standpoint, this is definitely not the case. The interests of Far East Company are very important, but they are not big enough to make Junma Weapons Company pay for it. After all, Far East Company has many shareholders, Li Mu only has a part of the shares, while Junma Weapons Company has very few shareholders, and Li Mu occupies most of the shares. The gap between this is not enough to be calculated.

"But the current conclusion is that the problem lies with Junma Weapons Company, and this is the conclusion reached by your company's investigation team." Benjamin Harrison was a little confused about why Junma Weapons Company had to reveal its shortcomings. If there was a problem with other companies, they would like to put all the responsibilities on others. They would have to rely on three points if they ignored it. If it was replaced by Junma Weapons Company, it did not shirk responsibility. According to Benjamin Harrison's understanding of Li Mu, this did not conform to Li Mu's character.

"Look clearly, it was a problem with the bullets, but it was not a problem with the Junma Weapons Company, but the War Department was not well kept. The bullets allocated to the troops were not provided by our Junma Weapons Company, so the responsibility lies with the War Department, and it has nothing to do with the Junma Weapons Company." Li Mu argued reasonably, that was not written in the report, and Benjamin Harrison definitely did not read it carefully.

That's right, this is in line with Benjamin Harrison's understanding of Li Mu. It's the same as other capitalists. Such a thing is definitely not the responsibility of the company, but the bloated organization of the War Department, poor management, over-the-top people, unclear rights and responsibilities, etc. As long as you need it, you can find countless reasons. The lawyers raised by major companies are not just a waste of money, and even if the lawsuit is fought to the Supreme Court, you cannot admit your mistake.

"The responsibility of the Ministry of War?" Benjamin Harrison's tone was full of uncertainty, and then Li Mu heard the sound of page turning on the phone.

Well, this guy really didn't look carefully.

"The bullets sent by the Ministry of War were not sent to Washington with the gun, at least not this time. Although they were all bullets produced by the Springfield factory, there were batches of bullets. Kenny could confirm that the bullets distributed were at least five years ago. At that time, Junma Weapons Company had not even had time to merge with Chuntian. So if there was a problem, it was only the reason for the Ministry of War. They were poorly managed, which led to some bullets being invalid. Now they are placing the blame on Junma Weapons Company. What's wrong? Is it easy to bully our Junma Weapons Company?" Li Mu was unreasonable. It was not necessary to hold anyone accountable. At least he had to take this opportunity to howl. Children who would cry had milk. People should not think that Junma Weapons Company is a soft persimmon that can be pinched flat and flattened at any time, and rounded.

Thanks to the arms company for its usual caution. Although the standards for bullets are the same, before Junma Weapons Company did not merge with Springfield, Colt, and Winchester, in order not to be plotted against, major companies each had a set of special marks expressed in letters. As long as an insider looked at the letters on the bullet box, they would know whether it was their own company's product.

Junma Weapons Company has more stringent requirements in this regard. Thanks to technological progress, other companies only stamp the mark on boxes, but Junma Weapons Company stamps the mark on bullets. This is actually not a hassle. Just do some tricks on the mold that suppresses the base fire.

A bad guy in the War Department is probably used to working in the office and is not sure how much bullet production is now. Although he has replaced the bullet box, the bullet cannot be replaced. As the deputy general manager of Junma Weapons Company, Kenneth Trollop is certainly aware of Xiaojiu in it, so the conclusion is not enough.

"Come on, who dares to bully you now? OK, who do you want to trouble now? William or Edmund Dalton?" Benjamin Harrison didn't want to get involved in this kind of mess, but since Li Mu found him, he couldn't pretend not to know. This is the value of his allies.

Edmund Dalton is the commander of the Second Infantry Division of the Army. The Far East Company is in Luzon, and the most affected is Edmund Dalton. You should know that the reason for the establishment of the Second Division was to attack Luzon. Now that the Second Division has not been organized yet, the Spaniards have already shown their decline. Edmund Dalton is very worried that he will not get the opportunity to go to the Far East at all. In that case, it is still unknown whether the Second Division still has the need to exist.

Although Congress decided to start war with Spain, the basic strategy has not changed. The United States still needs to vigorously develop its navy. The value of the army is still in dispute. Some people have proposed to withdraw the first cavalry division in New York, not to mention the second and third divisions, which are still ineffective.

"I don't want to find any troubles. William doesn't know about this. Edmund Dalton is not right. He is a soldier and there are not so many twists and turns. But should Congress be generous? I heard that there are several states' National Guards that have not changed their clothes. Should they give Junma Weapons an order?" Li Mu turned around and turned around and asked him about this benefit. This benefit can only be asked from Washington, and he cannot target someone, otherwise the Junma Group will immediately arouse the disgust of all American soldiers.

Soldiers are a special group. No matter how they fight, they are internal conflicts. If outsiders intervene, they will attract unanimousness from all soldiers in minutes. Although Li Mu is an arms dealer and has a close relationship with the military, and is Will's son-in-law, he is still not a military insider. Not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with William, Edmund Dalton and others. Even if it has something to do with it, if Li Mu aims the revenge at William Sherman or Edmund Dalton, then Li Mu and the Junma Group will also attract counterattack from the military.

Of course, Li Mu did not target anyone, because this matter really has nothing to do with William and Edmund Dalton. If William wants to deal with the Junma Group, he will definitely disdain to use this method. As for Edmund Dalton, he does not have the ability to penetrate the War Department, so this is an accident, an accident caused by a small person who wants to shirk responsibility.

"I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. You should know that Congress has no say in this regard. Not to mention other states, even Washington, DC, Congress cannot directly interfere. So if you want an order, please find someone yourself. Haven't you always insisted that your Junma Group has the best public relations department in the country?" Benjamin Harrison's words were a little sour.

To be honest, Benjamin Harrison himself is envious of the public relations department of Junma Group. If Benjamin Harrison's team has the excellent "communication" ability of the public relations department of Junma Group, then even if Benjamin Harrison does not have the support of Li Mu, he would dare to jump out to participate in the presidential election.

As for the same thing, the propaganda agencies these days seem to be terrible. Before Li Mu supported Hayes to participate in the presidential election, candidates actually had to travel around the country in one state in order to gain support, and there was no focus. Whether it was the traditional Democratic Party’s franchise or the Republican votes, candidates had to visit them without missing a single visit. Moreover, they also did not pay much attention to the power of newspapers. Although there were no national newspapers at that time, it would be unreasonable that even those newspapers that were best-selling in major cities did not pay attention to them.

It is recognized that Junma Group's public relations department is very excellent. It is not without scandals in recent years. After all, many technologies are not mature enough, and it is normal for product problems to occur. However, over the years, Junma Group has not been affected by product quality issues. This is not something that can be summarized by a simple "capital power". Rockefeller is also a big business, but Rockefeller's nickname is "robber tycoon", which is fundamentally different from Li Mu's "war dealer". After all, the war in the United States is foreign. In other words, Li Mu cheated all foreigners, while Rockefeller cheated all his own people.

As for the war against the Indians, I’m sorry, although the United States in the 21st century was particularly generous to Indians, Americans these days did not think that Indians were their own people. Washington is still paying for Indian skulls.

"Stop coming, you can't directly interfere with the local government, but you can formulate policies, not to mention that you have no choice, you are the Speaker of the House of Representatives." Li Mucai didn't believe that Congress had no choice in local state governments, so everyone wouldn't have a sharp head and wanted to be president. He would be very free to establish himself as a king in the local area.

"Okay, okay, I'll think of a solution, but don't have too much hope, we are under a lot of pressure." Benjamin Harrison did not promise Li Mu. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare.

During the economic crisis, in order to protect its own industry, President Ulysses Grant increased import taxes to increase the impact of European goods on American companies. This method is a bit shameless and violated the fundamental principles of free trade, but it is very effective. At least a large number of companies in the United States benefited from it and survived the economic crisis and achieved greater development.

Not to mention that the US government was shameless, it was not right that all countries in the world did this at that time, and the Qing Empire had no reaction. However, it was normal that the Qing Dynasty was too far away from the center of the world, so it was normal that it did not respond.

Now that the economic crisis is over, all countries should abolish the tariffs added during the economic crisis and resume normal trade. However, this is definitely not what capitalists hope. Capitalists all hope that other countries will cancel tariffs, and their governments impose a tariff of 1,000% on imported goods, which is in the interests of capitalists.

Of course, Li Mu hopes so much, not just Li Mu. Rockefeller, Henry DuPont, Andrew Carnegie and others think so during this period. So as long as there is a chance, capitalists such as Li Mu will lobby for Congress. Even if such unequal tariffs cannot be maintained all the time, at least they must postpone the restoration of tariffs as much as possible.

For Li Mu himself, Li Mu has other demands. For example, Li Mu really hopes that Congress can pass a special decree to restrict the import of arms. In this way, even if Li Mu does not force it, the United States can only use the Junma Weapons Company to update weapons.

This appeal is not a fantasy. Everyone knows the importance of the arms industry to a country. Even the corrupt ruling group like the Qing government hopes that the weapons used by the Qing army can be produced as much as possible. However, the Qing Dynasty did not have enough production capacity, so it had to buy weapons from various countries. Even so, most of the weapons purchased by the Qing Dynasty from countries around the world were concentrated in heavy weapons such as warships and artillery. As for light weapons, the Qing Dynasty would rather be updated slowly than put all its hopes on foreigners.

The United States' technical capabilities are definitely above the Qing Dynasty. At least the United States has sufficient production capacity. This time, the United States has expanded its navy and army at the same time. The United States did not order even a screw from Europe. All orders were digested within the United States. Junma Weapons Company also made a lot of money. Of course, Li Mu hopes that he can make money so comfortable in the future.

Speaking of this, Li Mu finally began to miss the Conneils Vanderbilt, whose grave grass was already ten feet tall. If those two guys were still alive, it would not be so difficult for Li Mu to push Washington to pass this decree.

Of course, the thought of missing him flew in a flash. Li Mu did not take this matter seriously. The Vanderbilt family had already withdrawn from the shipbuilding industry and devoted all their salutes to the railway industry. Even if the United States expands its navy, this big fat piece of meat would not be the Vanderbilt family, so Li Mu still begs for others rather than to ask for others.

It's not right. On this issue, Li Mu can win over Henry DuPont. You should know that Junma Weapons Company produces bullets, and all the gunpowder needed for shells is purchased from DuPont. If Congress can pass such an order, it will be very beneficial to DuPont. Therefore, the burden cannot be carried by itself. Carrying two people together will definitely be more labor-saving than carrying it one person.

DuPont's nest is in Delaware, but like most large companies in the United States, DuPont's headquarters is in New York. You should know that DuPont is the second trust in the United States after Standard Oil. This company is not obvious, but in the field of gunpowder, DuPont's background is similar to that of Junma Weapons in the field of arms.
