If you don't want to be tough, you are talking about Arthur's situation. Since you don't care how long you can stay in the position of president, Arthur doesn't have to worry about possible impeachment by Congress, or even if it is successful, it's better if it is successful. Anyway, the United States has no vice president and the Senate Speaker, so there will be no successor. However, James Brian's situation is a bit embarrassing. With Arthur's unrestrained president, James Brian wants to be safe and difficult to step down. If Arthur makes any amazing moves, James Brian will inevitably be implicated. This will continue to consume the little reputation accumulated by James Brian's decades of political ups and downs. In the future, it will be even more difficult for James Brian to compete for the president.

It doesn't matter to Li Mu. As a vested interest in the party's weight distribution system, Li Mu does not hate the party's weight distribution system, and is even a little grateful. However, if Arthur regulates the civil servant system and ends the party's weight distribution system, it would be no pity for Li Mu. The current Junma Group has passed that period of caution. No matter who comes to power, they must take the initiative to protect the interests of Junma Group. People like James Garfield are exceptions. With the lessons of James Garfield, if someone wants to target Junma Group in the future, they have to consider whether they can withstand Li Mu's counterattack.

It is necessary to have a vacation when you are on vacation. Perhaps Arthur doesn’t like the weather in Washington, and he is enjoying the fun in New York. He goes to the mountains to hunt with Rockefeller today, and watches football games with Li Mu tomorrow. He attends banquets of various names almost every night. In any case, New York is always short of these.

Relatively speaking, Li Mu's life is relatively simple, and he even doesn't even participate in banquets. He spends most of his time on the Governor's Island to cultivate himself and live a semi-secret retirement life ahead of schedule.

James Bryan, who found his job direction, was amazingly efficient. In just one week, he took out the first draft of the "James Bryan Act".

Like the Pendleton Act in another time and space, the "James Brian Act" is also a civil servant system formulated based on the actual situation in the United States. Arthur fully believes in James Brian's ability. After obtaining the "James Brian Act", he submitted it to Congress for deliberation almost word-of-mouth.

The result immediately caused an uproar.

Although members of Congress all know the drawbacks of the party's weight distribution system and the necessity of regulating the civil servant system, no one expected that Arthur would immediately fire the party's weight distribution system after just signed a presidential decree that might be infamous for thousands of years. After all, Hayes was so miserable that it was to regulate the civil servant system in the past. Now, Arthur did this and seemed to be impatient to die.

Some people must have noticed the previous contact between Arthur and Li Mu. Arthur had just submitted the "James Brian Act" to Congress. Someone here came to find Li Mu, who was also an old acquaintance, Benjamin Harrison.

"Chester is too radical. Now is not a good time to regulate the civil servant system. It is possible in a few years. I still think about promoting the standardization of the civil servant system in a few years." Benjamin Harrison is very sorry that Benjamin Harrison entered his second term as a senator this year. In a few years, Benjamin Harrison will be qualified to compete for the Presidential Palace. He will also be the second president born in the Harrison family. With the key training of the Harrison family and the support of Li Mu, all this is within reach.

This is the foundation of the old political family. Benjamin Harrison's personal talent is not good, but with the support of the Harrison family, Benjamin Harrison's political starting point is higher than that of most people. It can be said that these are the politicians born on the finish line and do not have family help, such as Hayes, and Grover Cleveland. If they want to go further, they not only need the right time, place, people, but also the indispensable luck. Benjamin Harrison was born with all this, which allowed Benjamin Harrison to remain calm no matter what he encountered.

"Chester didn't want to be president at all. If he didn't find something fun for him, I'm afraid he would resign on his own initiative." Li Mu was helpless. That was the US president. How many people wanted an opportunity, but Arthur abandoned it like a piece of clothing. This made Hayes, who was seeking re-election but failed, and James Brian, who fought repeatedly.

In fact, it is understandable that everyone has a personality, your honey, and his arsenic, if Li Mu is willing, he can also go to Ryukyu or Japan to be a local emperor, and even Luzon is fine, but Li Mu doesn't want to go. Being an emperor is more painful than being a president. Eating is the same as eating a bowl and sleeping is the same as two square meters, which does not provide Li Mu with much pleasure of want. Li Mu is very satisfied with his current life. He doesn't have to worry about criticizing what he wants to eat, and he can leave wherever he wants to play. These happiness will not be given to him with high power.

"If I participate in the presidential election in four years, how likely do you think it is?" Benjamin Harrison is also an idea. The Republican Party is now in disagreement. Benjamin Harrison is indeed very hopeful, but I don't know if this is what Benjamin Harrison himself means or the Harrison family means.

There is still a difference between the two. Li Mu believes that behind Benjamin Harrison, there must be a professional team. He is planning his political career for Benjamin Harrison. It can be said that Benjamin Harrison's every move was originally designed. As long as he is arranged by the professional team, Benjamin Harrison should have a great chance of entering the Presidential Palace. From this perspective, Benjamin Harrison is actually quite sad. Since he was born, he has designed his life. Without waves, there will naturally be no surprises.

"Do you want to run for election? Will it be a little earlier in four years?" Li Mu is really uncertain. In another time and space, Grover Cleveland was elected four years later. After another four years, Benjamin Harrison ran for the Republican election and succeeded. If Benjamin Harrison wanted to run for election four years in advance, to be honest, Li Mu really thinks that the possibility of winning is not high.

Li Mu is not omnipotent. Although the influence of public opinion and media on the presidential election is obvious to all, as the Republican support rate continues to decline, the media's influence is finally limited. Voters' confidence in the Republican Party is declining. After Arthur's four-year term, confidence should further decline. Even if Li Mu goes all out, the result will be unpredictable.

Of course, even though that's the case, if Benjamin Harrison decides to run for the election, Li Mu will of course do his best. This has nothing to do with success or failure, but only with friendship.

"Just discussing this possibility, I also want to fulfill the family's expectations of me as soon as possible, and then do what I am willing to do." Benjamin Harrison also has his own sorrow. He is lucky to be born in a big family and does not need to worry about life and future. But with these innate advantages, there are the pressures that come with it. This is the relationship between rights and responsibilities.

"Isn't it something you are willing to do to be a president?" Li Mu really didn't expect that the president's job was so disgusting. First, it was Arthur, and now it was Benjamin Harrison. Those who didn't know thought that the president was going to Nevada to build the railway.

"What's the point of being a president? When you don't become a president, you have to flatter you vampires. If you become a vampires, you have to listen to your vampires. If you don't do it, you will be in danger of your life. I don't know when you will be shot to death for a ridiculous reason. It's just a job, I can have more choices." Benjamin Harrison really understands people. After studying the president's job thoroughly, those who don't know think that the president can do whatever he wants. In fact, what the president can do is extremely limited. For example, in the past, Hayes, he couldn't even change the chef of the President's Palace. That's someone else's job.

From Benjamin Harrison's perspective, the president is really just a job. Just look at Benjamin Harrison's origins. In fact, Benjamin Harrison has many choices. As far as Li Mu knows, Benjamin Harrison is an excellent lawyer. He graduated from Miami-Oxford. He is also a good writer and has talent in investment. Even if he doesn't do anything, Benjamin Harrison can live a very comfortable life, so people really don't want to go to the Presidential Palace to gilt. That's more of the Harrison family's expectations for Benjamin Harrison, not what Benjamin Harrison wants.

Even though Benjamin Harrison had sufficient reasons to despise the Presidential Palace, Li Mu still couldn't help feeling absurd. This is like a TV series that Li Mu had watched in another time and space, with billions of dads, with beautiful women around him, and his career was at its peak, but they were not what the protagonist wanted. Most people really couldn't understand this kind of thinking.

"Don't say so badly. The vampires you say have created the industrial civilization of the United States. If we were not for us, you would have to ride a horse from Washington to New York, and maybe you didn't even have a saddle. Your behavior is to beat monks after chanting scriptures and scold the chef after dinner. If you have the ability, don't ask me to donate money when you run for election. I admit that I am the vampires you say." Li Mu is not the style of letting others scold you and not talking back. He will be short of his mouth when eating others and will be soft-hearted when taking others. Don't say that Benjamin Harrison is just a senator. Even if Benjamin Harrison becomes president, Li Mu will not be polite to Benjamin Harrison.

An obvious fact: Although the trust capitalists are scolded, in fact, the participation of these capitalists is absolutely indispensable to building a strong country. Another time and space republic is indeed fair when it comes to eating, but the final result is that everyone has no food to eat. Capitalists like Li Mu and Rockefeller have indeed accumulated a large amount of wealth through their respective companies, but they are also wealth makers themselves. The accumulated wealth is a legal surplus, not the result of clever robbery. Even if there is a component of clever robbery, it is also a legal clever robbery.

"Haha, of course I have to donate to you and ask you to donate more, otherwise I would be sorry for the votes that I voted for you over the years." Benjamin Harrison was not at all short-spoken, and he had to be confident in asking for money. In recent years, as long as the votes related to the Junma Group were voted for, Benjamin Harrison voted for votes, which of course comes at a price.

The relationship between politicians and capitalists is mutually beneficial. The relationship between Benjamin Harrison and Li Mu perfectly interprets this. In history, Benjamin Harrison did the same. He was a noisy person during his tenure as president. Although Benjamin Harrison complains now, one of the most criticized aspects of his tenure during his tenure was to obey the orders of party tycoons, industrialists and bankers who had funded campaigns, and ignore the growing dissatisfaction among farmers and workers. Therefore, Benjamin Harrison only served as one president and was kicked out of the Presidential Palace by Grover Cleveland, who made a comeback.

Of course, all presidents have problems in this regard, but in different degrees. Benjamin Harrison’s biggest problem is that he only safeguards the interests of relevant stakeholders and ignores the welfare of the whole public. If Benjamin Harrison can take into account the interests of vulnerable groups while safeguarding the interests of capitalists, then Benjamin Harrison should be better evaluated.

When Benjamin Harrison takes office, Li Mu will definitely remind him at that time.

"No problem. When you run for the election, I will cover the fees you need. You just need to be prepared to be president." Li Mu took over the big bag, and he would definitely not make Benjamin Harrison embarrassed by that time.

Of course, Li Mu paid for the "all-inclusive" here. Li Mu refers to being responsible for helping Benjamin Harrison "raised funds". If there is not enough money at that time, then Li Mu may be able to provide a guarantee.

Of course, the possibility that it is not enough should be very small. After all, the campaign costs of the presidential election are actually not high. Except for national tours, most of the costs will be spent on media and public opinion. The largest and most authoritative media in the United States are controlled by Li Mu, so Li Mu has the final say on how much money he needs to spend.

"Very good, I remember, I will ask you for money at that time." Benjamin Harrison immediately made a decision. The cost of the campaign is not high for Li Mu, but it is quite a lot for the Harrison family. The Harrison family's resources are still concentrated on politics rather than on economy. Although the Harrison family is not short of money, Benjamin Harrison himself is not short of money, but compared with Li Mu, Benjamin Harrison is a poor person, even if Benjamin Harrison has many industries in Cuba, it is not enough.
