853 Eighth Generation Ancestor
James Garfield's assassination is still fermenting. George Dewey came to Li Mu as soon as he learned the news, not to ask for advice, but simply being nervous. At this time, those who are close enough still have to join together to keep warm, and no one knows what else to face next.
"There is nothing. James' assassination is indeed a loss for America, but not for us. You have to know that Chester will become the president of the United States next. Compared with James, Chester is more trustworthy. At least you don't have to worry that Chester will get a bunch of professors to replace your job." Li Mu was fine, thinking about the problem from the perspective of a capitalist.
At this time, busy cutting off one's eyes is to make it more obvious. Taking the opportunity to gain benefits is a normal reaction. Li Mu is so regretful in front of George Dewey. Just because of the relationship between Li Mu and Arthur, under normal circumstances, if Li Mu is in New York now, he will definitely be able to gain greater benefits.
"This is the only good news in misfortune. I just think that the Democratic Party is too much this time. I don't know if Washington will investigate this matter. Although the stupid murderer now seems to be just a private act, I always feel that there must be a behind-the-scenes murderer in this matter." George Dewey's intuition told him that the reason why James Garfield was assassinated could not be as simple as the Washington Police Department announced.
The news released by the Washington Police Department is indeed a bit ridiculous. Although it is not as bizarre as another time and space, it is incredible that a down-and-out lawyer assassinated the president. No matter how the Washington Police Department explains, some people will always be unacceptable. George Dewey is one of them.
Of course, compared with others, George Dewey's reasons for doubt are indeed more sufficient. After all, George Dewey is a soldier, and his sixth sense is still very keen. No matter how the Washington Police Department explains, there are always some details that cannot be believed. For example, why Charles Giteo knew that James Garfield would appear at the train station and arrived at the train station an hour in advance to prepare. If the reason is as simple as the Washington Police Department announced, it is really impossible to convince the public.
"George, you have to know that the important thing now is not to investigate the murderer, but to stabilize the situation. If someone really commands the assassination of James behind the scenes, then the truth will come out sooner or later. The main messenger behind the scenes will definitely pay the price. But then the future is, the sooner the case is closed, the better. I can guarantee that the Washington Police Department will do this." Li Mu pushed others with his own permission and did not believe that the Washington Police Department would make a big fuss.
This question is obvious. Although James Garfield successfully won the support of most people and became president, it is for the living James Garfield. If James Garfield was not dead, then this matter would definitely be pursued to the end. However, James Garfield is dead, that is two things. No one will stick to this issue. Democrats hope that everyone will forget this matter.
Although it is difficult to convince the reason for Charles Gateo's assassination of James Gatefield, all the conclusions show that even if many people do not believe in the reason for Charles Gateo's assassination of James Gatefield, the Democratic Party has taken the blame. Who made Democrats have a criminal record? Great Lincoln died at the gun of the Democrats, and most people do not doubt the conclusion of the Washington Police Department.
"Some Democrats are really too arrogant and they have to pay the price." There is no doubt that George Dewey hates this kind of thing, which does not show how loyal George Dewey is to James Garfield, and George Dewey hates such a random act of breaking the rules.
"Don't bother whether they will pay the price. Now they have achieved their goal. Do you believe it or not? I can guarantee that in four years, the Republican Party may not find a suitable candidate to participate in the presidential election. For example, Chester will definitely not participate. It is easy to solve this problem. Let the Democratic Party win once. What I am worried about is whether such things will become the norm in the future. I think the Presidential Palace should strengthen its protection of the president. To be honest, the security department of the Presidential Palace is too lax now." Li Mu expressed his concern for the country and the people, and it is a good idea to blame the dereliction of duty of the Presidential Palace security department. Anyway, many people will definitely be unlucky this time.
James Gartfield was assassinated at Baltimore and Potomac train stations in Washington, when Charles Giteo walked behind James Gartfield and fired three shots at James Gartfield from close range, one of which hit the head.
At that time, James Garfield had at least ten bodyguards around him, but none of the bodyguards noticed Charles Garfield and allowed Charles Garfield to easily approach James Garfield and shot James Garfield at close range.
After Charles Gateo shot down James Gateo, James Gateo's bodyguards reacted and shot Charles Gateo to death. This was another mistake. He failed to capture Charles Gateo, thus missing the possibility of tracing the messenger behind the scenes.
Overall, during the entire process of Charles Giteo assassinating James Gartfield, the bodyguards around James Gartfield performed very amateurly. Their performance was not as good as ordinary policemen. Leaving the president's safety to these people is simply irresponsible to the United States. Even if Li Mu didn't say it, some people would rectify the security department of the President's Palace. At least Arthur dared not be careless. Arthur was still waiting to leave office and travel around the world. If someone was assassinated during the presidential term, it would be too unfair.
"Hmph, if the Democrats can show the qualities that make people believe, voters will naturally vote for the Democrats. They do this now and it will only be disgusting. I don't know what others think. I will never vote for the Democrats anyway." George Dewey hated the Democrats, but George Dewey forgot that George Dewey has no right to vote unless George Dewey takes off his military uniform.
Li Mu Yangtian beat him up, and he didn't take this opportunity. Although the Democratic Party performed poorly, the Republican Party was not much better. In recent years, the people's dissatisfaction with the Republican Party has accumulated and will soon reach the final critical point. If it weren't for Li Mu's participation, it would be a question whether James Garfield could win the election this time. As a "senior" Republican, Li Mu is now ready to betray the Republican Party.
It’s not considered betrayal. There are actually quite a few non-partisans in Congress. They are not qualified to participate in the presidential election because they do not have enough support. These people are fencemen. Whoever promises them more will vote for.
The same is true for Li Mu. No one stipulates that the choice of a party must end in one's own business. Hard-core Republican voters sometimes vote for Democrats. It's normal for people like Li Mu to have a good time.
Even if he did not consider the Republican Party's loss of power, Li Mu had reason to let the Republican Party taste the feeling of losing Time Magazine. Now many Republicans take the help of Time Magazine for granted and lack sufficient gratitude to Li Mu and Time Magazine. It is time to teach those people a lesson, otherwise no one would know how painful it would be to be targeted by Time Magazine.
As expected by Li Mu, Washington did not have the intention to investigate the envoy behind the assassination of James Garfield. In the official statement, Charles Garfield was regarded as Charles Garfield's personal behavior of Charles Garfield. The day after the death of James Garfield, the Washington Police Department hurriedly announced the closing of the case, and then Congress announced that the state funeral was held for James Garfield three days later. Although Vladivostok is far away from the United States, according to Congress's requirements, Vladivostok must also lower the flag to hold a memorial service for James Garfield.
Vladivostok can still do this requirement from Congress. On the day he received the Congress's telegram, Vladivostok lowered the flag at half-mast and then held a simple memorial ceremony. Except for a few people such as Li Mu and George Dewey, the death of James Garfield did not cause any trouble in Vladivostok.
At the end of January, Lei Haobo arrived in Vladivostok via Goryeo to meet Li Mu. On the one hand, he expressed his gratitude to Li Mu, and on the other hand, he also wanted to win more support from Li Mu.
During the Qing Dynasty, Lei Haobo didn't know how powerful Li Mu was. Because of the Qing government's blockade, few Chinese even knew that Li Mu was.
After arriving in Ryukyu, he had a certain degree of contact with the Ryukyu government. Lei Haobo realized what the name Li Mu meant to these countries around the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention the distance, in Ryukyu, the mercenaries under Li Mu not only helped Ryukyu resist the invasion of Japan, but also counterattacked Japan, supported the shogunate to overthrow the emperor's rule, and completely turned Japan into a colony of Ryukyu.
In Luzon, the mercenaries of the Far East Company drove away the Spaniards and established a new Luzon government. Luzon has now become a paradise for Chinese people. As long as he can speak Chinese, he can be unimpeded in Luzon.
In Annan, the instructors sent by the Far East Company are helping France train the Annan minion army. If Spain is a declining colonial empire, then France can be said to be at its peak. Even such a country has to demand Li Mu, you can imagine how great the turmoil in Lei Haobo's heart is.
When seeing Li Mu again, Lei Haobo performed more humble than the last time.
"Master Li, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you call him as a high school, you will definitely follow him. It will be easy to overthrow the Qing court at that time. Lei is not talented. He knows his own weight and is willing to follow Master Li. After the matter is completed, Lei is willing to assist Master Li as the throne and reappear in the peaceful and prosperous era-" Lei Haobo has invested enough money. As long as Li Mu is willing to come forward, Lei Haobo is willing to settle for the second best.
"Stop, don't say such things in the future. You know your own affairs. I am not without self-knowledge. No matter whether it is the emperor or the president, whoever loves to be the one who is the one who I don't wade into this muddy water, don't think about pulling me into the water. I am an American now, a second devil. If I think too much, I will be scolded for my ancestors." Li Mu gave Lei Haobo a basin of cold water. The current emperor of the Qing Dynasty is still a baby. The president of the United States has just been shot to death. Li Mu felt a chill when he thought about it. This is almost like a curse.
The national leader is not that easy to be a good person. Abraham Lincoln is great enough, but someone still wants to kill him. The situation in the Qing Dynasty is more complicated than that of the United States. None of the central officials and local governors are easy to mess with. Li Mu doesn't want to be intrigue all day long. In the United States, Li Mu can enjoy better than the emperor, and there is no need to do this.
This is true. Don’t think that the emperor’s enjoyment is so good. It’s not easy to eat a hot meal. If life is a little extravagant, someone will talk to you next to you. The simplest fact is that Li Mu’s quality of life is definitely better than Emperor Guangxu. Emperor Guangxu lives in the shadow of Empress Dowager Cixi every day. Li Mu doesn’t have to look at anyone’s face. He wants to be in New York and come to Vladivostok to Vladivostok. Such days are simply not changed to an emperor.
"Master Li, as long as you don't say it, no one knows it." Lei Haobo refused to give up.
This is true. Anyway, Li Mu is 100% Chinese, with black hair and yellow skin, which is no different from other Chinese people. As long as Li Mu doesn't take the initiative to mention it, no one will feel uncomfortable.
"Lei Master--" Li Mu gave Lei Haobo enough face. This title has no meaning, but is just used to show Li Mu's attitude. Although Li Mu had just spoken, Lei Haobo hurriedly left the seat and said he did not dare, Li Mu did not change his words: "Lei Master, I am not polite to you. I am just a business between me and you. The arms I gave you are not given in vain. If you don't give money now, you will give more in the future. Just don't let me down."
Li Mu can put the right position and support Lei Haobo, Li Mu completely treats it as a business. In the future, Lei Haobo will not give money. As long as Lei Haobo rebelled successfully, Li Mu will get more benefits.
Of course, this interest is also mutually beneficial. Li Mu must be nostalgic and will not do anything for money. Now the Qing Empire is almost all poor and careless. In the future, as long as Li Mu is given a chance, Li Mu will open factory schools in the Qing Empire. Although these factory schools are also for profit purposes, an undeniable fact is that this will greatly promote the modernization process of the Qing Empire, which is enough. Li Mu has always believed in the creativity of the Chinese. As long as he gives Chinese opportunities, Chinese can do much more than Li Mu imagined.
"Please rest assured Mr. Li, Mr. Li's great kindness, Mr. Lei will never forget him. Now Mr. Lei has accomplished nothing and cannot promise you that as long as Mr. Lei succeeds in the future, Mr. Li will give you twice as much as Mr. Li gives you." Lei Haobo's expression was sincere, but this guy's expression ability is very problematic. He clearly said a few words that were very grateful, but it sounded very distasteful.
