"The best enemy is the British!" Li Mu said surprisingly.

"Cut!" Almost everyone, including Ulysses Grant, expressed disdain for Li Mu.

This is nonsense. The British are indeed the best target, but the United States cannot regard Britain as an imaginary enemy. The war between the United States and Britain has been over for decades. Americans do not want to repeat the same mistakes.

But for now, although the strength of the United States is in a period of rapid rise, the United States has not yet competed with the British.

It is one thing for Americans to drive the British out of the United States, but it is another thing to leave the United States and compete with the British. The United States does not yet have this ability.

"Well, no kidding, I think our goal should be Mexico. We all know that Mexico has just experienced a civil war and has been invaded by the French in the past few years. There has also been a campaign scandal the previous year. If we target Mexico, Contributing, then it will definitely reduce the opposition of the Congress. "

"Mexico-" Ulysses Grant was lost in thought, and it was clear that Mexico was more suitable than Britain.

Compared to Britain, the threat of Mexico is not worth mentioning. Just over 20 years ago, the United States seized 2.3 million square kilometers of land in Mexico through the US-Mexico War, so this beam is already tied, whether or not Hype, Mexico is the enemy of the United States.

Another benefit of hyping Mexico is the Gulf of Mexico. If John Rockefeller knows the news, even if Grant doesn't show up, Rockefeller will push hard.

"This is a good idea. I think we should turn the Gulf of Mexico into our inland seas." After George Dewey became a fan of the United States and was promoted to the rank of major admiral, George Dewey was hot and had the right to speak in front of Grant.

Of course, even if George Dewey is a civilian, George Dewey can speak in front of Grant, but whether he will be valued by Grant will have to say two more.

"I need time to think about--" Grant didn't rush to the conclusion, and Grant had to weigh the gains and losses before he could make a decision.

In fact, Grant understands Li Mu's careful consideration. The United States does not have a standing army. If the United States has a standing army, then it is reasonable and reasonable that the US Department of War must buy weapons from Li Mu's Steed Weapons Company. This is what the US government should give to Li Mu. Reward.

"But you don't have to worry about Rim. It's because your order will be yours, and no one can take it." Grant gave Li Mu a peace of mind. According to the information obtained by Grant, the "python" pistol produced by Steed Weapons Company was in It has performed very well against Indians. The United States Department of War has designated the "python" type pistol as a US Army standard pistol. Soon, a large order will be sent to the Steed Weapons Company. Grant only indicated this in advance.

"Thank you, I believe that the products of Junma Weapons Company will not disappoint you, Mr. President. In the current United States and even around the world, there is no better pistol than the" python "revolver." Li Muyou Confidence, although Springfield, Colt, and Winchester have all launched double-action pistols, Li Mu has enough confidence in the "python".

"Rim, do you have anything to tell me about the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment?" Grant finally mentioned the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, which is also the second question Li Mu wants to talk to Grant.

"Regarding the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, I believe you should have received the corresponding report. The performance of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment in this war has explained everything. This is a trusted unit, so I hope that the United States can establish a Standing army, standing army composed of professional soldiers, instead of those temporarily recruited by the generals of General Sherman, if the soldiers of General Sherman are professional soldiers such as the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, the Indians need not worry, the war is absolutely It won't last until now. "Li Mu's three words still do not leave his profession.

Sherman led the army to fight with the Indians in Montana, Montana is the last nest of the Indian Sioux. In order to survive, the Indians formed an alliance, and under the leadership of the chief "sit bull" and thank Herman's army fought fiercely.

Montana is the last territory of the Indians. The Indians have no way to retreat, so the war is high, and Sherman has not sought any cheap.

"How many people are there in the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment?" Grant was interested in the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment.

"There are 5,000 people in this force, of which 1,000 are serving as presidential guards in Havana, and one thousand are accepted by Mr. Green Giles in Guantanamo to protect the security of Guantanamo. I mobilized five hundred people to the Grand Bahama Island Five hundred people went to Trinidad, and the rest were all on Pine Island, and there will be the base camp of the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment in the future. "Li Mu was also helpless and demolished a good army of 708 It is not Li Mu's original intention, but this is also helpless.

The war has ended, and the United States of Cuba has disbanded more than half of its troops. The country retains only 20,000 people, some in Havana, and some in Santiago and the central Cuban city of Spyritus. In this case, if one The complete Guantanamo Infantry Regiment is so eye-catching.

The resumption of the territory north of Bayamo brought nearly 10,000 Chinese workers to Li Mu. With more than 9,000 people, Li Mu now has nearly 20,000 Chinese workers. This is already a large group, occupying nearly one hundred Cubans. If four-fourths of the population maintains a strong armed force, it will inevitably attract criticism.

"Well, no matter how you hide it, you must always have a force to mobilize in your hands." Grant smiled at Li Mu, making Li Mu hairy.

"Uh, why?" Li Mu couldn't help asking.

"Oh, be patient, you should know when it's time to let you know." Grant raised a toast to Li Mu, and then walked away.

"Oh, Lim, congratulations-" Ebour, who came to Cuba with Grant, raised a toast to Li Mu.

"Ebble, tell me, what do you mean by Mr. President just now?" Li Mu was irritable.

Ebble looked around, and then Grant, who was having a good talk with Sylvester, got to Li Mu's ear and said softly, "Hawaii--"

Hawaii!

Li Mu was shocked and finally understood Grant's meaning.

Hawaii was an important transit point for the Qing Empire to the United States. Li Mu really knew Hawaii during this time.

Hawaii in 1873 was under the rule of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

In 1872, King Kamehameha V of Hawaii died. Because Kamehameha V did not designate an heir, in accordance with the Kingdom's Constitution, the king will be appointed by Congress, and several Hawaiian chiefs and tribal leaders will compete.

On January 1st of this year, Hawaii held a general election for the king. As a result, William C. Lunelliro, who promised to amend the constitution and give his people more power, was successfully elected as Lunelliro I.

Li Mu had envisaged that if the United States would still wait until 1897 to annex the Kingdom of Hawaii, then Li Mu might be able to make amends in advance and establish a Chinese-dominated country in Hawaii.

Unfortunately, it seems that the United States has also coveted Hawaii for a long time, saying that Hawaii may not become Li Mu's next goal.

Speaking of which, the United States really coveted Hawaii for a long time. In 1830, American missionaries arrived in Hawaii. From 1840, the number of American and Japanese immigrants, businessmen, and investors increased on the island. In 1842, the United States first The recognition of the Kingdom of Hawaii is mainly due to Japan. If Japan forcibly annexes Hawaii, the United States will intervene on the grounds of anti-aggression. In 1864, during the Civil War, Hawaii was forced to sell land to the US military to grow coffee, and the United States leased the Hawaiian harbor.

At the time of the elections in Hawaii earlier this year, US Secretary of State Hamilton Fish said that the United States would never allow other countries to annex Hawaii, but did not explicitly say that the United States would not annex Hawaii.

Combined with Ulysses Grant's attitude, Li Mu can be sure that the United States is estimated to have begun targeting Hawaii.

"Rim, allow me to introduce, this is Mr. Chen of the Qing Empire-" Nelson brought the old man to Li Mu, and Li Mu looked at it, not who is Chen Man-

"Thank you, Nelson, this gentleman doesn't need your introduction." Li Mu laughed and raised a toast to the old man.

"Hum, Mr. Riem, it's not easy to meet you." The old scalp smiled.

"Hehe, where does this come from? If the Superintendent wants to see Li Mu, just send someone to say it, and you don't need to run away from Springfield to Havan" Li Mu grinned disapproving, and Chen old man Playing around with flowers.

In fact, old man Chen is right. Old man Chen has been to Havana for more than half a month, and he has repeatedly sent people to post to Li Mu's residence, but the reply he received was that Li Mu was not in Havana.

Li Mu is of course in Havana, and has always been in his own home. Li Mu's home in Havana is the mansion of a former Spanish count. This is a huge castle-style building with more than 160 rooms. The garden, grass, and swimming pool cover an area of more than two hectares. In terms of luxury, Li Mu's home is more luxurious than the presidential palace. Only because Li Mu's mansion is located outside the city of Havana, will he fall into Li Mu's hands.

The old man 's motivation to come to Cuba is not pure. This guy played Cuba under the banner of investigating the living conditions of the Chinese in Cuba. However, everyone knows that there is a Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, mainly Chinese, in Cuba. Relationship, if the old man reported it according to facts, Li Mu would never want to get any immigrants from the Qing Empire.

The old man Chen finally got the chance to meet Li Mu because Li Mu had split up the Guantanamo Infantry Regiment, so even if the old man wanted to investigate, there was no evidence.
