839 Plan B

Li Mu has always been cautious in treating the Qing Empire. The Qing Empire was not Cuba, Panama, or Luzon. A country with a population of 450 million, Li Mu believed that he could not bear such a great responsibility, so Li Mu chose a simpler way to cultivate more talents and let those with insight solve this problem.

In any case, what Li Mu can be sure of is that the Chinese in this time and space should not experience so many hardships that the Chinese in another time and space have experienced. At least there will be no Sino-Japanese War in this time and space, and there will be no arduous eight-year war of resistance. As for the rest, Li Mu cannot decide. Without the Japanese's deliberations, even if the situation is bad, it will not be much worse.

What's more, with Li Mu and Junma Group here, the Chinese in this time and space will definitely not be surrounded and intercepted by another time and space. As long as the Chinese establish their own country, Li Mu will spare no effort to export technology and funds. With the continuous stream of talents, the Chinese will rise again sooner or later. Li Mu believes that he can see all this in his lifetime.

Entering October, James Garfield and his campaign ended their national tour and canvassing back to their base camp in New York, preparing for the national election that began in November.

Even though Junma Telecom and Junma Construction were all out of reach, they only promoted the broadcast system to New England and nearby Philadelphia, Washington, and other areas before October.

But this is enough. As long as the Republican traditional advantageous areas can be successfully won, it is enough to ensure that James Garfield wins.

Li Mu still arranged for James Garfield to go to the broadcaster for three public canvassing votes before the election began, and tried his best to win points for James Garfield.

Of course, in order to look more fair, the broadcaster also gave Samuel Tilden two chances, but there was still a strong focus on the choice of time. The broadcaster arranged for James Garfield for James Garfield to be the prime time, and the duration was longer, and there were basically no deletes.

The ones for Samuel Tilden are different. In addition to the bad time period, the broadcaster's editor made some technical "adjustment" to Samuel Tilden's speech, which made Samuel Tilden's speech far less effective than expected.

Li Mu felt that broadcasters have shown enough bias on this issue, but there are still many Republicans who expressed dissatisfaction. They believed that broadcasters should stand firm and not give Samuel Tilden any chance. The broadcasters' current behavior is equivalent to betting on both sides, which is a standard speculative behavior.

"No matter how we think, the most important thing about the news media is a fair position. Of course, we can have a choice. Media people can be Republicans or Democrats, but at least we must do it to look impartial and maintain a fair position so that the news media can have better initiative. Otherwise, just like the Democratic Echo, no one will buy the Echo except hardcore Democrats, but everyone will buy Time magazine, not only Republicans and middle-aged voters, but also some enlightened Democrats. This is the role of fair position." Li Mu still explained to James Garfield that before he reached the last step, Li Mu was still unwilling to break up with James Garfield.

No one wants to be a villain, and Li Mu is even more unwilling. There is no airtight wall in the world. If Li Mu really takes the blame for the world, then no matter how secret Li Mu does, there is a possibility of leaking the secret. Unless Li Mu silences all the insiders, that is impossible, because Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang who handled this matter, Li Mu would not attack Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang. Considering the status of Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang among the first generation of Chinese Americans, unless Li Mu wants to completely turn against those first generation of Chinese, Li Mu will maintain his relationship with Situ Lei and Chu Wushuang.

"Reim, don't explain to me. I believe you. Your Time magazine beat Echo backwards step by step. Echo is simply defeated. You are professional in the field of propaganda, so you don't need to explain to anyone." James Garfield is still smart. Maybe in the field of education, James Garfield does have an opinion on Li Mu, but in the field of propaganda, the authority of Li Mu and Time magazine is unshakable. Coupled with the freshman broadcast system, Li Mu's authority in this area will continue to strengthen in the future.

This is also one of the benefits of "time travelers". Before this, both Democrats and Republicans did not really pay attention to propaganda and public opinion. Before Li Mu founded Times, before the start of the presidential election, Democrats and Republicans revealed each other's old secrets in newspapers, exposed each other's black materials, and sometimes even launched personal attacks, without a planned propaganda plan and public opinion guidance. Times can be said to be ahead of all newspapers around the world in this regard. The literacy rate of people in this era is not high. Times uses comics and soft articles a lot, which has achieved very good results. Newspapers like Echo are vulnerable.

In fact, Echo has now started to use comics and soft articles to learn the promotional methods of Time magazine, but the gap is still a bit big. Things like comics and soft articles that are technically content cannot be learned by spending money. The power of Time magazine lies in its accumulation earlier and its attraction to talents. Even if it spends money, Time magazine will not be too fond of Echo. Therefore, in a short time, Time magazine still has a crushing advantage when facing Echo.

Of course, this advantage will not narrow in the foreseeable future, and will grow bigger and bigger. Time magazine now has broadcaster assistance. In the future, Li Mu will let Nikola Tesla start studying radar. During the process of studying radar, television will also be invented. At that time, the gap will widen to a point that makes Democrats desperate. It can be said that within decades, as long as Li Mu is there, Democrats should not expect to defeat Republicans in the propaganda field. This is the area where the Republicans have the greatest advantage in the Democratic Party.

"You may not think so, but others may think so. In fact, in this era, we are all involuntarily. You have to travel all over the country for presidential election, find as many allies as possible, and ensure that we can still suppress the Democratic Party in the next four years. And I want to fight for the benefits of Chinese people across the United States as much as possible. Even if this will damage other ethnic groups sometimes, I have reasons that I cannot give in. You can understand, I can understand, but some people will not understand." Li Mu was generous to James Garfield for the last time. If the effect is not good, then everything will be fine. If Li Mu does not get enough response, then Li Mu will have to start Plan B in advance.

Sometimes it is better to hide it, and it is better to open the skylight and speak out. Even if Li Mu doesn't say it, James Garfield also understands that Li Mu will try his best to fight for the Chinese, which will of course harm the interests of other ethnic groups. The United States produces only a few materials every year, and it has not yet reached the point where the whole world is being fucked by the United States. Chinese people eat more beef, others will eat less beef, and Chinese people take more eggs, others will get less eggs. This is a very realistic problem.

In fact, in the United States, if it were other countries, Li Mu would not be so righteous. As an immigrant, no matter how arrogant Li Mu was, he had to consider the interests of the indigenous people.

There is no need to worry about this problem in the United States. The natives of the United States are Indians. Now Indians are either driven to the western mountainous areas or locked in cages on reserves. All whites, blacks, Chinese, and Mexicans are new immigrants. There is no problem of who robbing whom. Everyone robbing Indians together is just a problem of robbing more or less. People with not big fists are not qualified to let people with big fists develop their style. They can only wait for people with big fists to eat enough before picking up some leftovers.

"Of course, I can understand that if it were me, I would do the same." James Garfield said nothing wrong, but this was exactly what Li Mu was most worried about.

If James Garfield took the opportunity to give Li Mu some advice, put forward some suggestions to Junma Affiliated School and Springfield Institute of Technology, and even complained about Li Mu for a few words, and made some demands on Li Mu, then Li Mu would be more at ease.

It is precisely this "I can understand" that may bring about the variable that Li Mu is least willing to see.

The word "understanding" is very flexible. You can understand this word as James Garfield can accept Li Mu's actions, or you can understand it as James Garfield can understand why Li Mu did this, but James Garfield can't accept it.

In other words, if James Garfield becomes the president of the United States in the future, if James Garfield starts to restrict Li Mu and the Junma Group, then James Garfield can also say at that time: I also hope you can understand Reim. I don’t want to do this, but I have to do this.

"That's good, so I can rest assured. It seems that I can have a good sleep tonight. You may not know that more than one person has reminded me that there may be some misunderstanding between you and me. Now it seems that there is no need to worry at all. We are all adults and we all know what we are doing." Li Mu was still smiling while speaking, but in fact he was roaring inside. This was too unlucky. If he had known this would happen, Li Mu would rather work with Samuel Tilden. At least Samuel Tilden would give Li Mu more promises Li Mu that Li Mu wanted, and Li Mu would not have to worry that Samuel Tilden could not do it, because the Democratic Party wanted to pull Li Mu into the Democratic camp, so no matter what Samuel Tilden promised to Li Mu, even if Samuel Tilden promised the War Department would place an order of $100 million to Junma Weapons Company, Samuel Tilden would definitely do it.

This is not a whim. One hundred million dollars sounds like a lot. Washington does not have that much money, but this is not a problem. A long time ago, Washington had already started to borrow from Junma Group. The treasury bonds purchased by Li Mu, borrowed from Washington, and the amount of debts for various orders, have now exceeded 100 million US dollars. The interest Washington has to pay Li Mu every year is more than 15 million US dollars.

Li Mu's words are actually reminding James Garfield that he hopes James Garfield knows what he is doing. As the largest creditor of the US government and as the boss of Junma Group, it is unwise to choose to oppose Li Mu. Even if James Garfield is elected president in the future, it is not wise to oppose Li Mu. In the United States, there has always been a cooperative relationship between consortiums and politicians, and there has never been a confrontation. Li Mu hopes that James Garfield can face reality and fight against large companies like Junma Group. James Garfield is not enough to see.

"How could there be misunderstandings between us? We are friends, aren't we? We have always been intimate and have always cooperated happily. I believe that our good relationship will go a step further in the future. As for those who spread rumors, they will be shameless at all." James Garfield said with a firm statement, and his sincere expression was almost the same as taking an oath in the church.

If Li Mu hadn't had his own information channel, then Li Mu might have believed it. Of course, Li Mu wouldn't say anything now. He sent James Garfield away enthusiastically. Li Mu called Situ Lei: "Situ, prepare to launch Plan B, do his hands and feet cleanly."

Yes, Li Mu has given up improving his relationship with James Garfield. During today's meeting, Li Mu did not find even a trace of sincerity in James Garfield, which made Li Mu feel discouraged.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, it would be nice to be president. Although Arthur is not willing to stand up, if James Garfield cannot perform his presidency, then Arthur can only take over.

If Arthur succeeds, then Li Mu doesn't have to worry about any problems. Arthur will definitely not stumbling to Li Mu. On the contrary, Arthur will try every means to protect Li Mu's interests, even if it will harm the interests of America. Li Mu believes that Arthur will not betray the friendship with him.

This kind of friendship is really iron. Compared with Arthur, the friendship between James Garfield and Li Mu is not even considered a plastic flower.

"Okay, no problem." Situ Lei didn't say much and quickly hung up the phone. Although the call between Li Mu and Situ Lei would not be heard, Situ Lei never talked much on the phone.
