From outside Junma Group, Junma Group's behavior of establishing peer associations is standard, but so what? People with the right to speak will not make any comments on this. People without the right to speak will not care about anything they say.

In just one month, there were four more organizations like "Industry Associations" in the United States, including the communications industry, power industry, automobile industry, and aviation industry. In addition, the weapons industry that has been established long ago, it can be said that nearly one-quarter of the existing industry associations in the United States are controlled by Junma Group.

There are pros and cons. On the one hand, it is convenient for Junma Group to manage. Each industry association is a branch, and the association's headquarters is equivalent to the previous branch headquarters. All businesses in the entire association rely on the association's headquarters. Junma Group quietly controlled four - no, five industries that are crucial in the future.

In fact, there is another industry. If Li Mu is willing, Li Mu can also set up an industry association to control it, that is, the emerging security service industry in the United States in recent years.

This security service industry is actually mercenaries. The largest mercenary companies in the United States are all under the control of Li Mu, including the most popular Panama Company, the oldest Bahamas Company, and the strongest Far East Company. These companies are all under the control of Li Mu. If Li Mu is willing, they can also establish a security service industry association to regulate the mercenary industry in the United States. However, Li Mu did not do this. Mercenaries are different from commodities. The industry is too destructive. The three major mercenary companies controlled by Li Mu, and the smallest Panama Company also have more than 3,000 employees. This is a force that can subvert the regime. Li Mu cannot and dare not put these forces on the table. Once he does that, it is a self-inflicted effort, and even Arthur cannot protect Li Mu.

Yes, although Panama is the most popular, among the three major mercenary companies, Panama is the weakest. To be precise, even Washington is not sure how many mercenaries the Far East controls. Although there are less than a thousand people on the list of Far East companies, Far East companies are backed by Luzon and Ryukyu. Japan can raise tens of thousands of people at any time, with tens of thousands of people, with no edges and no edges. The size of the Army's First Cavalry Division is only more than 10,000 points. If Far East companies put all their strength on the table, then Li Mu will immediately become Washington's most concerned target.

The same is true for the Bahamas. The Bahamas are nominally under British control, but in the Bahamas, more than 90% of the islands have now been purchased by the Bahamas and become Li Mu's private territory.

In recent years, the Bahamas' sphere of influence has been expanding. Cuba, Haiti, Panama, Dominican, and Colombia. Before we knew it, the Bahamas' sphere of influence has spread across most of the Caribbean Sea. As long as the Panama Canal is not open to navigation, the Bahamas' status in the Caribbean Sea will not be shaken.

Even if the Panama Canal is open to navigation, the status of the Bahamas will not be shaken. The Pacific and Atlantic Ocean are the two most important regions in the world. As long as the Bahamas companies control the estuary of the Panama Canal, no one can ignore the existence of the Bahamas companies. Everyone knows that the company's behavior these days is often actually a national behavior.

A large part of the reason why Li Mu was rampant in Washington was because of these mercenary companies controlled by Li Mu.

The dominant idea of ​​the United States is still Monroeism. The first basic principle of Monroeism is to oppose European colonial behavior in the Americas, and the second basic principle is to ensure the independence of the Americas and not interfere in European affairs.

Monroeism is actually isolationism. Half a century ago, the United States decided to live its life in a closed door, not wanting to be interfered with by Europe or in Europe. In fact, the United States has included the entire America in its sphere of influence. This is in the interests of the United States, but not in the interests of Europe. Therefore, for half a century, the United States has been fighting against Europe to strive for independence from the United States and even the entire South America.

One of the biggest keys to the implementation of Monroeism is that today's America, or today's South America, is basically under European colonial rule, so Washington shouts every day, "America is the Americas of Americans." However, due to the restrictions of Monroeism, Washington cannot directly interfere with European colonial behavior in the Americas.

At this time, the existence of mercenaries is very important. You should know that mercenaries have no nationality. Therefore, no matter how excessive mercenaries are in South America, the United States does not have to bear any responsibility for this. Doesn’t Washington know how big the Bahamas Company has in South America?

They knew that, but Washington's response was not restriction, but support, which gave Li Mu the greatest degree of freedom.

At the end of October, according to the original plan, Yan Shuncong San Francisco took the Pacific Fleet cruiser "Entertainment" to the Far East via Hawaii. He was accompanied by three merchant ships of the Pacific Company, which were filled with rifles and field artillery. Yan Shun carried commercial advice from the Far East Company to the Qing government. If the Qing government did not agree, then the next thing was war.

The so-called "business advice" is actually more appropriate to describe it as "commercial blackmail". Li Mu did not want to do business well with the Qing Dynasty, otherwise the loading of the merchant ship should not be weapons, but steak and red wine.

"Actually, it is more appropriate to leave this kind of thing to me to implement. You probably don't know how much I want to go to the Far East. I want to hand over the ultimatum to the Qing government and then fire the first shell with my own hands. I want to drive the parasites back to my hometown with my own hands and make them pay the price for the mistakes made by our ancestors." Li Mu's last words were Li Mu's true thoughts. The others were just for Arthur and Rockefeller, and there was no meaning.

Although Li Mu knew that after the fall of the Qing Empire, the rulers of the Qing Kingdom had already paid the price for the mistakes made by their ancestors, if Li Mu was asked to come, Li Mu would definitely do more extreme and thoroughly, so that Li Mu would not have been in vain for a walk in this world.

When Li Mu was going to take the college entrance examination in his previous life, there was a classmate who had a good relationship with Li Mu. Because of the extra points in the college entrance examination, he changed his ethnic group to ethnic minority.

Of course, Li Mu knew very well that his classmate who had a good relationship was a standard Han nationality. Eight generations were all Han nationality and had nothing to do with ethnic minorities. However, because he got extra points in the college entrance examination, Li Mu's classmate changed his ethnicity.

Is it sad?

Of course sad!

Should it be?

From the perspective of Li Mu, it should be that even if Li Mu had something to do with him at that time, Li Mu might have chosen to change it. This is the general environment. When an individual cannot change society, he can only adapt to society.

Before Yan Shun returned to the Qing Dynasty, Li Mu warned Yan Shun that the first problem was that he would never mention any slogans related to "nationality". Even if mentioning the nation would arouse the unity of the Han people, he would never mention it.

Yes, in Li Mu's plan, there was no distinction between the Chinese in the future. Whether she was herding sheep or farming, whether living in the mountains or living in plains, whether they like to drink salted beans or sweet beans, all Chinese in the future can only have one ethnic group, that is, the Han people. Any other statement cannot be mentioned. Even those clothing, language, writing, and traditional customs called national characteristics must be completely unified, without any room for change. The princes use the barbarian ritual to barb them, and when they advance to China, they will be China. Only with the high unity of customs, the high unity of tradition, and the high unity of culture can all kinds of troubles in the future be avoided.

Of course, to implement thorough unification, it will definitely arouse a certain degree of resistance, but this is not a reason for artificially dividing the people into different levels. After Yan Shun returned to the Qing Dynasty, he did not need to work hard to win the support of ethnic minorities to resist the tyranny of the Qing government. Disputes in the short term are inevitable, but if they persist for ten, twenty or fifty years, then all disputes will disappear.

"No, no, Lim, you can let Leo go to Qingguo to do these things, but you can't, you have no position, you have no reason, don't forget that you are an American now." Before Arthur could speak, Rockefeller warned Li Mu first.

This warning came in time. Although Arthur is now president and Washington can make the greatest compromise on Li Mu's behavior, this compromise is not without bottom line. Junma Group, Li Mu, and even Junma Laboratory are too important. The United States cannot afford such losses, and even possible losses.

"Okay, I'm ready to deal with the Qing Empire's minister. How much do you want to do? Just do business? I don't think so, then is overthrowing the Qing government? How are you going to deal with the pressure from Europe?" The issue that Arthur was concerned about was more practical. For Li Mu, letting Yan Shun return to the Qing Dynasty was just a big game, but the Qing Dynasty was not Cuba or Luzon. Those European countries, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and even Russia, all had huge interests in the Qing Dynasty. If Yan Shun wanted to overthrow the Qing government, then these pressures were the first problem that Li Mu had to solve.

"There is no pressure. Europe has interests in the Qing Dynasty. No one denies this. No matter what government replaces the Qing government in the future, the interests of European countries in the Qing Dynasty will not be affected. The treaties signed by the Qing government and Europe before will be recognized by the new government. Maybe it will do more thoroughly. What does this matter? For those European countries, or for us, they just have changed a partner. Maybe this new partner will cooperate more thoroughly and understand our requirements better. I can't think of a reason to interfere." Li Mu did not want to completely subvert. If there is any gain, there will be losses and the truth that cannot be broken.

Regarding the contracts signed by the Qing government with the great powers before, Li Mu really did not intend to completely deny that the rise of the country was definitely not smooth sailing. There are only so many resources in the world. One country wants more, and other countries will definitely have less left. Another time and space republic joins the WTO and has to work hard to exchange shirts for planes. He does not have the ability to formulate the rules of the game, so he must follow the requirements of the rules of the game. As long as European countries do not interfere with Yanshun, it is enough. Li Mu did not expect too much.

Interfering in this matter is also an issue that Li Mu had to consider.

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, Britain and France also had early contacts with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before deciding to help the Qing government eliminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It was these contacts that made the British and French people understand that even if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom overthrew the Qing government, it would not be possible to safeguard the interests of the British and French people. This eventually led to the birth of the "foreign gun team", and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was short-lived.

If Yan Shun formally erected the anti-bank, it can be confirmed that the British and French would also have contact with Yan Shun in advance. At this time, Yan Shun's attitude is very important. If the requirements of the British and French are not met, the British and French will interfere, and even assist the Qing government in exterminate Yan Shun's rebellious behavior.

However, if Yan Shun showed a certain degree of cooperation, and even Yan Shun's promise to the British and French was more beneficial than the promises given by the Qing government, then the position of the British and French was really hard to say. It was so difficult for Standard Oil to open up the Qing market, and the same was true for British and French companies. If Yan Shun promised to open up the market to European countries, then Li Mu could be sure that even if European countries do not support Yan Shun, at least they would not provide help to the Qing government.

This is enough. Although the Qing government in this time and space did not experience the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, and the failure of the Reform of 1898, don’t think that those local governors were loyal to the little emperors in the capital of the Qing Dynasty. People did not punish themselves for themselves and were punished by heaven and earth. Why did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom become more and more intense? It is closely related to the wait-and-seeness of the local government? Did the Qing Dynasty at that time have no capable ministers except for shaving his head?

Stop funny. The reason why the Qing government gave Zeng so many honors was because Zeng Zhang spared no effort in the process of extermination of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Qing government rewarded "loyalty" rather than "ability". This must be clarified.

"Reim, I don't pay attention to the Qing Dynasty, I don't pay attention to Leo, and I don't pay attention to Europe. I'm just you. No matter under any circumstances, I hope Reim, you can remember that you are an American now, so you have to safeguard the interests of the United States, because America has given you everything you are now. I'm welcome, if you are still in the Qing Dynasty, then no matter how outstanding you are, you will never achieve what you are today." Arthur looks really like an American president now. Don't look at Arthur who always said he would resign. At the critical moment, Arthur still puts American interests first.
