Politics is always cruel. Leaving opportunities to the enemy means not giving yourself opportunities, so Li Mu will not leave any handle for others. Although Washington is not Li Mu's sphere of influence, this does not mean that Li Mu has no influence in Washington. In the Ulysses Grant era, Li Mu had many friends in Washington, especially at the Washington Police Department. Li Mu could easily find a lot of people willing to serve for money. For police in other places, the president may be a little awe, but for police in Washington, the president is the least rare, and even rarer than the police, because everyone wants to be president, not everyone wants to be a policeman.

The best thing is that Zach Richardson is not Li Mu's friend. Li Mu doesn't even know Zach Richardson. Zach Richardson is a friend of Ulysses Grant's brother-in-law Eble. Eble has settled in Paris for many years, so even if Zach Richardson is exposed, he will not contact Li Mu.

To Zach Richardson's disappointment, Charles Giteo did not take action in the church. If Charles Giteo took action, then Zach Richardson would get $100 million after Zach Richardson shot and killed Charles Giteo.

Don’t think that you are used to Li Mu’s income. You just think that $10,000 is not enough. In fact, it is enough. This money is enough to buy a state senator this year and use it to bribe Zach Richardson. The salary of the Washington police is not as high as the New York police. If you only earn $100 million based on a normal salary, Zach Richardson will have to work hard for ten years. Now, only Zach Richardson needs to fulfill his responsibilities as a policeman at the right time. Zach Richardson can get a salary equivalent to about ten years, so Zach Richardson has no reason to refuse the money.

Even if Zach Richardson doesn't want to make this money, some other police officers are willing to make it. Moreover, when Chu Wushuang's people found Zach Richardson, Zach Richardson no longer had the right to refuse. Refusal means that Zach Richardson will be silenced, and it will definitely be created as a way of death for accidental death, so Zach Richardson can easily make a choice.

When Charles Giteo came out of the church, someone came over immediately: "Hey, Charles, I heard you want to do something for the Democratic Party, when will you act? We're all waiting to see."

The person who spoke was a drinker Charles Giteo met in the tavern. Charles Giteo never shy away from doing something for the Democratic Party, and it also mentioned it to many people, but no one ever thought that Charles Giteo would really do it. Like most people who lost their composure after drinking, most people think that Charles Giteo was just bragging. Only Charles Giteo himself knew that he was really taking action.

"No, I can't be presumptuous before God, and there are too many people in the church, I can't implicate those innocent people." Charles Gateo was a little disappointed. At this moment, James Gateo had already left in a car under the protection of the bodyguard. Even if Charles Gateo wanted to do it, he would have no chance.

One thing to be noted is that this is really not an excuse. Charles Giteo really thinks that way. So far, Charles Giteo has not realized how crazy his idea is. Killing James Giteo is what Charles Giteo thinks is right. This idea is deeply rooted in Charles Giteo's mind. Charles Giteo is a stubborn person.

"Then let's wait and see what you will do, don't let us down." The drinker laughed and left.

"I will do it, you can wait and see." Charles Giteo waved his fist at the back of the drinker, regretting that he didn't shoot just now.

Once the opportunity is missed, it is not easy to find it. After this day, Charles Giteo stayed in Washington for a full month in order to find opportunities. During this month, Charles Giteo's luck has always been very good. Not only did he find a kind-hearted person who was willing to provide a house for Charles Giteo to live in, but he often met drinkers in the tavern who were willing to invite Charles Giteo to have a drink. Even Charles Giteo would find money when walking on the street, which allowed Charles Giteo to stay in Washington and continue looking for opportunities.

In the original history, after Charles Gateo assassinated James Gateo, the US police released the investigation results of Charles Gateo. It was found that Charles Gateo borrowed $30 to Washington, and then stayed in Washington for three months. Finally, Charles Gateo finally found an opportunity to shoot James Gateo.

I don’t know how Congress believes the police’s investigation results. It’s probably because there are guys in Congress who “why not eat meat”, so they don’t know how much it costs to live in Washington for three months.

Of course, it is more likely that Congress does not want to understand at all. What Congress wants to see is an investigation report, not the content in the investigation report.

On December 24th, on Christmas Eve, Charles Giteo finally heard another news about James Gartfield in a tavern at the railway station. Tomorrow morning, James Gartfield will go to the railway station with Mrs. Gartfield to see off his friends, which is another good opportunity.

Yes, Charles Giteo often gets this kind of news, otherwise Charles Giteo would not have known that James Giteo was going to church for a service. It would not have been possible for the Presidential Palace to announce James Giteo in advance, just to prevent people like Charles Giteo. Charles Giteo could not have been guarding at the door of the Presidential Palace every day. The guards would check anyone they thought was suspected.

Therefore, the tavern has become the best news channel. Don’t ask why any drinker in the tavern has news about James Garfield. Perhaps the guy who is talking is the staff around James Garfield himself. Maybe the staff around the president have not experienced as much confidentiality education as the 21st century, so anything can happen.

Like the last time, Charles Gateo went to Baltimore and Potomac train the next day. To Charles Gateo, the news in the tavern was very accurate. At 10 o'clock in the morning, James Gateo did appear at the train station with Mrs. Gateo to see off his friends. The person who boarded the train, Charles Gateo knew him, was the New York tycoon Rockefeller.

This is normal. If Rockefeller returned to New York after spending Christmas Eve with James Garfield, James Garfield would indeed see him off.

When James Gartfield and his wife waved goodbye to Rockefeller on the platform, just like the last time, Charles Giteo was less than five meters behind James Giteo, but Charles Giteo hesitated again this time.

This time, there was no God present. The reason why Charles Giteo did not take action was because Charles Giteo found that Mrs. Giteo's health seemed to be not very good, so Charles Giteo believed that Mrs. Giteo might not be able to bear the scene of her husband being shot.

Well, it doesn't matter. Even if Charles Giteo doesn't take action this time, Charles Giteo can continue to find opportunities because the news in the tavern has always been very accurate.

At Christmas, Li Mu had already arrived in Vladivostok and stayed at the private residence of the former Russian Governor's Office.

This private residence is actually a castle-style building with Russian appearance. Each roof is a standard battle helmet-style dome. The exterior wall paint is made of red and white. There are 150 rooms in the castle. Vladivostok originally wanted to transform the castle into a military camp. However, after Li Mu arrived in Vladivostok, Vladivostok sold the castle to Li Mu for US$5,000.

This price is not cheap. Everyone knows that the entire Vladivostok state was bought by Li Mu, so strictly speaking, the entire Vladivostok state belongs to Li Mu's private ownership. This was originally Li Mu's thing, but now it is just the original owner. In fact, the Vladivostok state government is more willing to give this castle to Li Mu, but Li Mu does not accept this kindness, because Vladivostok current Vladivostok requires more money and no resources can be wasted.

It is indeed not wasted. Vladivostok covers a large area and the basic conditions of the city are still very good. At that time, the Russians regarded Vladivostok as a permanent city, so Vladivostok has a complete underground pipeline facilities and urban transportation system. When the Russians evacuated, they did not have time to destroy all this, which reduced a lot of trouble to the Vladivostok government.

Of course, there are still many troubles. Russians have been coveting Vladivostok for a long time, but in fact, it was not until 1860, 20 years ago that the Russian government forced the Qing government to ced Vladivostok to Russia. This is also the reason why the Russian government easily gave up Vladivostok, because it was too easy to come, unlike the bare-handed Britain and France. The Russian government did not pay any price to acquire Vladivostok. It was after the Second Opium War that forced the Qing government to ced Vladivostok.

This is the degree of cunning of the Russians. The British and French launched the Opium War, and the Russians got the greatest benefit, and this benefit was that full-screen blackmail was obtained. Therefore, many times, scammers are more hateful than robbers, because robbers only rely on their bodies to bully people, and the robbers can also say "Skills are not as good as people", while scammers bully people from IQ, which makes people feel that "everything lives on a dog". This behavior is more hateful to some extent.

Because the time to own Vladivostok was too short, the Russians had not had time to build a large scale in Vladivostok. To be precise, most of the achievements in Vladivostok were completed by Russians hiring Chinese and Goryeo. Therefore, although Vladivostok's land covers a large scale, the urban facilities are not perfect enough to provide at least 100,000 people with a living capacity. Currently, the 100,000 immigrants in Vladivostok rely on external support for their livelihoods, so waste is really shameful.

In fact, the supplies are still very rich. At least Japan and Ryukyu are used as a supporter. The Chinese who have just moved to Vladivostok have clothes and food to eat. Although the place where they live is not perfect, it is a world of difference compared to their days in the Qing Dynasty.

The Vladivostok government did not let 100,000 people stay idle. In addition to children, even women, if they want to get food and warm clothes to fill their stomachs, they have to obtain them from the Vladivostok government through their work. This method is so powerful that it immediately calms the hearts of new immigrants and makes them look forward to the future.

"The temperature in Vladivostok is very low in winter and it is almost impossible to carry out outdoor activities, so immigration work is basically stagnant at present. However, the staff sent to the Qing Dynasty are not idle. They are counting the Chinese who are willing to immigrate to Vladivostok and will send them here as soon as the spring next year." Although there are many difficulties, Chen Guofang is still optimistic. With Li Mu and Junma Group as their backers, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

"It's not easy to settle them for 100,000 people. Are there so many jobs for them?" Li Mu was more worried about the current 100,000 people. Compared with future immigrants, the current 100,000 people are their last team. If the Chinese who immigrated to Vladivostok in the future find that these early immigrants did not live like humans, ghosts, and ghosts, then they might feel that they were deceived into hell in an instant, which would be a devastating blow to Vladivostok's future immigration work.

"Yes, I asked them to smash stones. There are mountains everywhere here, and some stones are for them to smash stones. This winter, they will smash stones. After the spring next year, these stones can be used to build roads, as the foundation of houses, and as mortar. Anyway, they are very useful. Next year, we will build a house that is enough for 300,000 people to live in. This problem is still very difficult. If road construction is added, 100,000 people to smash stones for a winter may not be enough." Chen Guofang made a good arrangement. In fact, even if the stones are useless, it is fine. The important thing is to find work for so many people to do so that they don't have time to think about it. After the spring, there will naturally be a lot of work waiting for them to do. At that time, they will build houses, open up land, farm, and welcome a new life. Without urging people, they will move to find things to do.

This is the cutest thing about immigrants. Lazy people will not immigrate because they are too lazy to move. So as long as these diligent guys have the opportunity, they will burst out with amazing subjective initiative. This is how the North Wilderness was developed.
