921 Once in a lifetime

In fact, the news that Li Mu decided to support Democratic presidential candidates to participate in the election has caused much greater impact than what Li Mu thought he was.

To this day, Li Mu represents not only more than 100,000 employees of Junma Group, but also Li Mu's tendency also determines the tendency of millions of audiences of Times Media, which are the decisive forces that determine the outcome of the election. A few years ago, Republican candidates enjoyed the convenience of controlling public opinion, and Democratic candidates were brutally suppressed. Even if they had the opportunity to report with a single claw, most of them were negative news. You can imagine how gritted their teeth at Times Media.

Although he gritted his teeth, the Democratic Party had no choice but to do anything to fight with the original Times Media Company. The Democratic Party had tried to compete for the right to speak with the original Times. Unfortunately, even if it was free gifts, the newspapers and magazines founded by the Democratic Party could not sell Times, which made the Democrats unable to do anything.

Now, due to the use of radio, Times Media's advantages in public opinion have been expanded again, which is different from newspapers and magazines with narrow audiences. After all, newspapers and magazines have requirements for the audience's cultural level. At least people who have not received education will not consciously sell newspapers. Radio does not have this problem. As long as there is no problem with hearing, it will be affected by radio. Unless Junma Laboratory is willing to open up technical resources, no media in the world can compete with Times Media in a short period of time. This fact is simply desperate.

After Li Mu turned against him, Republican candidates will face the dilemma of former Democratic candidates. All the pain that Democratic candidates have suffered will be realized in Republican candidates one after another, which has almost announced the result of the next presidential election.

Li Mu did not stay in Washington and accepted the praises of Democratic politicians. After talking to Arthur in a deep conversation, Li Mu returned to New York in a low-key manner, but did not meet Edward Jeffrey and the others, and hid directly on the Governor's Island.

On Governor's Island, Edward Jeffrey wanted to make an appointment when he met Li Mu, but there were always a few people who didn't need to make an appointment. On the night when Li Mu returned to Governor's Island, Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan came to find Li Mu together. Even if Li Mu was reluctant, he would give these two people face.

"You guys are really too much. I just came back today. Can't I leave something until tomorrow?" Li Mu finally felt the pain. After several hours of continuous train, Li Mu was exhausted both physically and mentally. It was only when Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan came together to pull Li Mu up from the bed, otherwise Li Mu would not care if the sky fell.

"You are the real excessive. I remember it seems like we are friends. So can you please respect your friends' mood before making any decisions? Even the tabloid reporter in Washington knows that the great Mr. Reim broke up with the Republican candidate, but we were still stupid and stupid to attend the Republican fundraising party to raise funds for the Republican candidates. This is your friend's way?" Rockefeller was very angry. For a long time, Li Mu, Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan were considered partners and were also considered the three behind the Republican Party. Now Li Mu was going to cause trouble, but Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan were kept in the dark, and Rockefeller was angry again.

In comparison, J.P. Morgan was still calmer, so J.P. Morgan was not in a hurry to attack, but was also waiting for Li Mu to explain that if Li Mu's reasons were not sufficient, then J.P. Morgan would not be polite.

"Just donate. Although I have stated that I will not support the Republican Party in the next presidential election, I am still a Republican member. I donate to the Republican election in Washington, which is nothing." Li Mu didn't care at all. Donate. Li Mu, Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan each donates millions every year. Sometimes Li Mu and others will also donate to the Democratic Party. This is normal in the United States. On the issue of political stance, the United States is not black or white, and Americans also understand the principle of putting eggs in the same basket. Especially Li Mu and others are all rabbits, and only three nests are small.

"Then what are you? Betting on both ends? Please, if this is the case, can you do it more secretly and not make it known to everyone." Rockefeller of course also knows the principle of cunning rabbits having three holes, but on the surface, he still needs to maintain a loyal personality. In other words, except for J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller and Li Mu's reputation are not good, so this is very important.

"Reim, you say 'next time', so can I understand that you are targeting someone?" J.P. Morgan realized Li Mu's purpose, but there was a deviation in understanding.

"No, no, no, I'm not targeting James. In fact, no matter who participates in the next presidential election, I will not support him." Li Mu denied it, kidding that a James Bryan who has not won the election is not worth Li Mu's doing so. So what about James Garfield who has won the election? If Li Mu hates James Bryan, then James Bryan will not have the opportunity to run for the election.

Never ignore Li Mu's influence within the Republican Party. One thing that needs to be emphasized again is that Li Mu himself does not have the qualifications to run for US president, so Li Mu's position in the Republican Party is very transcendent. No matter who it is, he will not regard Li Mu as a competitor, but will only strive for Li Mu's support as much as possible. Even if it is James Brian, no matter whether James Brian suspected that James Garfield's death was instructed by Li Mu, and no matter how much James Brian himself hates Li Mu, as long as James Brian wants to win the election, then James Brian will have to get Li Mu's support, which is also the reason why James Brian appeared at Li Mu's home on the shore of Yingying Lake.

Although the results are not good.

"John, Piper, you have to know that after the establishment of Times Media, we have increased the intensity of social investigations. We have started to collect public opinion about two years ago. More and more evidence shows that voters' dissatisfaction with the Republican Party continues to accumulate. It should be said that the node of quantitative change caused by qualitative change has not yet reached, but we have also stood on the edge of the cliff. I have not informed you of these news because our situation is different. Standard oil products are sold to Republicans and Democrats. The money **** is lent to Republicans and also to Democrats.

Time Media, when I founded Time Media, Time Media had a distinct Republican stance. Now Time Media is becoming more and more important. What can I do? Do nothing, and when the Democratic candidates win the election, they will see them split Time Media? None of your companies do this crisis, but Time Media has it, so I have to do something." Li Mu faced Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan, another reason, not that the pension business is not important, but that Time Media is equally important compared to Li Mu.

There is no way, Li Mu, Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan are both shareholders of Angus Job, so no matter what the profits of Angus Job, the interests of Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan will not be damaged.

Times Media is different. Li Mu is the only boss of Times Media. If Times Media's interests are damaged, then no one will help Li Mu share the burden. Therefore, Li Mu needs to be selfish and profit is the first, and no one has the position to accuse Li Mu.

Speaking of spin-offs, don’t look at Junma Group, Standard Oil is now arrogant because Washington has not yet split the Trust Groups such as Junma Group and Standard Oil, or the reasons are not sufficient. After all, the Trust Group in the United States has not had a long history, and Standard Oil’s history is slightly longer, and it is only more than a decade. Therefore, the harm of the Trust Group has not yet appeared, or it has not yet attracted attention.

However, we cannot ignore the existence of these threats just because no one pays attention to it. Li Mu has always tried to split the Junma Group, at least on the surface, to break up the Junma Group, which means to postpone this process as much as possible.

There is another reason that cannot be ignored. The reason why Times Media is dominant is because of the control of the American media industry by the National Journalists Association, and the cultural field is also different in the industrial field. The basis of this control is actually not solid. If a Democratic president comes to power and restricts the National Journalists Association, Times Media will definitely be suppressed. Therefore, Li Mu must give the Democratic Party some hope so that the Democratic Party realizes that they can also use the power of Times Media, so that Li Mu can ensure that Times Media will last forever.

After Li Mu said that, Rockefeller, who was still angry just now, immediately stopped fighting. J.P. Morgan became even more calm. No one was a fool. Li Mu had already said this. If Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan could no longer understand, they would have to break up with Li Mu.

The consequences of the breaking are by no means what Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan want.

"Have you finished the talk? Please forgive my presumptuousness." Will joined in time, breaking the somewhat embarrassed silence.

Will was still carrying George Dewey behind him, which surprised Li Mu. George Dewey should be in Hawaii now and should not appear in New York.

"I'm on vacation." George Dewey took the initiative to explain that he was also Li Mu's old friend and wanted to meet Li Mu without making an appointment.

"I'm on vacation too. Thank you Reim, you doubled my happiness." Will took the initiative to come over and gave Li Mu a big hug.

Li Mu knew that this was because of the child in Gloria's belly.

It is understandable that George Dewey is on vacation, but Will is a bit irritating.

The 1st Cavalry Division's headquarters is in New York. Will never return to Governor's Island for more than three days. After Gloria came back, she just called and immediately called Will back from the barracks.

What really puzzled Li Mu was that he didn't know why George Dewey appeared here.

"The war has begun." George Dewey looked at Li Mu with a stinky expression.

Li Mu immediately came to his senses, yes, it was already spring. If there were no accidents, the Far East Company should have declared war on the Qing Dynasty. This is indeed worth George Dewey coming to Li Mu.

"Since the war has begun, shouldn't you guarantee the logistics for Far East now?" Li Mu reminded George Dewey to be conscientious, not only to do his duty to the United States, but also to the Far East Company, because George Dewey is also a shareholder of Far East Company, so he can't get dividends in vain.

"Hmph, I don't think the Far East Company needs logistics. God knows how many mercenaries the Far East Company trained. Now they have landed, and there are still many rebels from the Qing Dynasty responding. This scene makes people familiar." George Dewey was very upset.

Once upon a time, Washington was still discussing whether to declare war on Spain. The newly established Far East Company defeated the Spaniards in Luzon with a group of newly recruited mercenaries. When George Dewey led the newly established Pacific Fleet to the Far East, he had only time to participate in the final battle against Manila, which made George Dewey regretful.

Everything that happened in the Qing Dynasty made George Dewey look familiar, the same recipe, the same taste. Although the Qing Dynasty had stronger war potential and greater strategic depth than Luzon, George Dewey did not think that the Qing Dynasty could withstand the attack of the Far East Company. As Li Mu's friend, George Dewey knew very well about Li Mu. Although Li Mu did not say it, George Dewey also knew that Li Mu had made a lot of preparations for today. Hiring mercenaries was just a means. According to George Dewey's understanding of Li Mu, when Li Mu decided to attack the Qing Empire, the Qing Empire was already doomed.

"Haha, don't be upset George, the Pacific Fleet cannot be put into battle. You know, Washington will not allow it, and other countries will not allow it." Li Mu knew that George Dewey was angry, not because of anything else, but because there was no room for intervention: "Are you ready? Friends, the world's largest market has opened its arms to us. Don't blame me for not reminding you that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Li Mu has always claimed that he was only taking action against the Qing Dynasty for the Qing Dynasty's market. Li Mu used this reason to gain support from Washington, otherwise Li Mu would not be able to withstand the pressure from those European countries. At least this reason could be accepted by most people. The Qing Empire was too large and the population was too large. Any country, even Britain, had no ability to occupy the Qing Empire. Therefore, European countries could accept the Far East Company's war against the Qing Dynasty, just like the European countries were watching the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.
