Governors Island, also known as Governors Island, is located in Upper New York Bay in New York City, approximately 1 km from the southern tip of Manhattan Island and covers an area of approximately 37 hectares.

Prior to 1800, the Governor's Island was under the jurisdiction of the New York City Government. In 1800, the federal government took over the Governor's Island and built fortifications and barracks on the island. Since then, the Governor's Island has become an important base for defending the New York Bay.

After the Civil War, the Governor's Island came under the jurisdiction of the United States Navy and was used by the New York Marine Police.

The most famous building on the Governor's Island is William Castle, which is a ring-shaped military building with an appearance similar to that of Fujian Tulou. The New York Maritime Police Command was previously located here.

In fact, since the Civil War, the defensive value of the Governor's Island is gradually declining. Even the New York Parliament has proposed that the jurisdiction of the Governor's Island should be taken back to ease the crowded situation in Manhattan.

In fact, it ca n't be relieved even if it is recovered. The Governor 's Island and Manhattan are across the sea. It is only possible to build a bridge to connect the Governor 's Island and Manhattan. The Governor 's Island is too small. In order to use these more than 30 hectares to build a The costly bridge is obviously uneconomical, so few supporters of this proposal.

Even so, the New York Maritime Police must take precautions, so two years ago, the New York Maritime Police relocated their headquarters to the nearby Brooklyn area, and the Governor's Island was gradually deserted.

If there were no accidents, it would not be thirty years before Governor Island would be reopened as the home of the US National Coast Guard.

There must have been an accident where Li Mu appeared, so Li Mu is now in the basement of William Castle.

"Although we have not completely defeated Tweed, the season for receiving goods has arrived, so-" Li Mu said, pushing the door in front of him vigorously.

Here was originally a warehouse where shells were stored. The nameplate on the door clearly marked the purpose, but now there are no shells or gunpowder in the warehouse, and there are dozens of boxes stacked in the center of the warehouse.

"Oh, I seem to smell something." Arthur walked into the warehouse with a smile.

"There is an old saying in the East: Wiseness is against being wisely misunderstood, and the same is true of Tweed. Tweed is really old, hasn't he ever thought that he has been under our surveillance? Want to be in the New York Marine Police? He took things away under his eyelids and had to say that it took some luck. "Li Mu put on a pair of gloves, walked to a box, and opened the lid of the box.

The box was full of gold. Under the light of the dim light, the color of yellow orange was particularly attractive. Arthur picked up two gold bars and struck each other, and the bars made a clear and pleasant sound.

Arthur threw the gold bar back into the box, and opened the other one. This one contained various documents. Arthur opened a roll. It was the stock of Yili Railway. This railway was wildly sought after on the New York Stock Exchange. Even the economic crisis cannot stop people's enthusiasm.

"How much is the total here?" Arthur abandoned the evaluation. There are dozens of such boxes here. If there are gold and bonds in it, the total price must be an astronomical figure.

"I don't know, because there is not only gold and bonds here, but also a lot of antiques. The value of these things is inestimable-" Li Mu said, opening a long box at hand, and taking out a long scroll from it to unfold it. .

Immediately after being unfolded, Li Mu's movements became cautious immediately, and even half-knelt on the ground and slowly rolled up the long box.

This is the "Zhao Yebai" by Han Qian in the Tang Dynasty. The words "Han Qian Zhao Yebai" in the upper left of the figure are mentioned by Li Yu, the late Tang Dynasty lord, with the title Mi Mi and the stamp "Zhu Wenyin".

Not to mention the value of the painting itself, the historical value it contains is already inestimable.

"Arthur, no matter what you think, I want this painting—" Li Muxian started off to be strong. Such calligraphy and paintings that are called "national treasures" must not be overlooked.

"Ah, whatever you want, take as many as you want." Arthur generous, there are dozens of boxes here, Li Mu could not take all of them.

"Okay, don't regret it." Li Mu was rude. After a while, Li Mu found out Zhang Xuan's "Training Map" in the Tang Dynasty, Guo Xi's "Early Spring Map" in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Shen Zhou's "Snow Mountain Map" Volume "and several other fine works.

"Ha, you greedy guy, I'm going to take a look too. I can't let you take away all the good things-" Arthur was also polite, and hand-drawn a box with gold as a stool, and shared the booty with Li Mu.

There are a lot of good things. Generally speaking, most of them are in the West. In the East, because the value has not really been reflected, there are not many antiques here.

Li Mu was rude and swept away all the antiques related to the East, including two huge bronzes. Their boxes were extraordinarily large, and each box could only contain one.

Roughly estimated that if these antiques were not counted, the gold and bonds here would be worth about $ 30 million, more than Tweed's rumored $ 20 million property, and less than $ 200 million.

The money did not belong to Li Mu and Arthur. The operation last night was monitored by Arthur's New York Marine Police. Li Mu's "Seaborne Cavalry" was responsible for the operation. All participants will have a share, but because of the There is enough wealth, so the biggest part must belong to Li Mu and Arthur.

It was not until early morning that Li Mu and Arthur came out of the basement.

"What happened to Tweed's family?" Arthur then remembered paying attention to Tweed's family.

"They are on a small island near Newfoundland, where there is no trace of isolation, when will Tweed fall down completely, and when will they be released." Li Mu did not conceal, this came to Tweed's family. That said, it's not necessarily a bad thing, at least for now they don't have to worry about it, and no one will think about them anymore.

"Newfoundland-I can imagine how cold it is." Arthur sneered.

It is already the end of October, and the sky in New York has started to snow. Newfoundland is further north than New York, so the weather in Newfoundland should be colder than New York.

"Rest assured, I have left them enough daily necessities. As long as they are not so lazy, they can live well." Li Mu is not worried. If there is an accident, it should be so.

This world is like this. Weak meat and strong food, the strong respected and accepted the rules of the game, then we must bear the corresponding consequences.

"Oh, I knew you weren't so heartless." Arthur looked relaxed and didn't care much.

No matter who it is, I want my partner to be a little human, not a guy like Gould who doesn't recognize six relatives.

"You are hypocrisy. Maybe they are not guilty, but they are enjoying the high society life that Tweed uses the evil means, then they should be prepared to pay the price." Li Mu is not pity, in this world No one is innocent, even Li Mu. If Li Mu loses his reputation one day, Li Mu will not blame anyone. He can only blame himself for not being strong enough.

"Well, I'm hypocritical, I don't deny this, so how about me, a hypocritical person, invite you evil guy to have a drink?" Arthur wanted to celebrate the bumper harvest.

"I'm glad to be." Li Mu followed the good.

In the villa next to William Castle, Li Mu and Arthur had a drink by the fireplace.

It was originally a villa of the New York Marine Police Commander. Although the base is abandoned, the facilities in the villa are still complete.

"What are you going to do with this? Have you considered selling it to someone?" Li Mu hasn't been to Governor's Island for a long time, but has liked it here.

The Governor's Island is only one kilometer away from Manhattan. There is a dock on the island that can dock yachts or small warships. For others, living on the Governor's Island is definitely inconvenient, but for Li Mu there is no such problem. If it can be near Manhattan There is a place that is quiet and safe, Li Mu does not mind paying some price.

"No, why, you want?" Arthur was empathetic.

"Of course I think, you know, I contributed Clinton Castle and became the headquarters of the beach club. I always have a place to live." Li Mu's reason is very valid.

At least Li Mu thinks so.

"Your requirements are really low." Arthur was unhappy, this is the property of the US federal government, and it will take some effort to turn it into private property.

But for 10 million US dollars, Arthur had to agree to Li Mu's request.

"Tomorrow you go to the customs. Let's sign a lease agreement and wait for a few years. There will be a solution." The Arthur curve is roundabout. As long as the lease agreement is signed, Li Mu can start construction.

"Oh, no problem." Li Mu laughed abruptly.

In a few years, Arthur is about to become president of the United States. It is too easy to sell an island to a private person.

Even if Arthur is not the president, Li Mu is sure to get the Governor's Island, George Dewey, Benjamin and Mahan return to Washington to report. They are lobbying Ulysses Grant to set up a standing army. If the lobbying is successful, then the army will be certain The navy's military expenses will be shared, and Li Mu will then buy a Governor's Island at a price that the navy cannot refuse.

In fact, this plan can start to operate now. Sherman is not making smooth progress in Montana. The military expenditure is getting higher and higher, which has threatened the interests of the Navy. In recent years, the naval warships are in the transition from paddle wheel to propeller. During the period, the Navy had a strong need for dressing up. If Li Mu now took a check to the Navy Department, the Navy Minister would personally receive Li Mu.

"So what do you want to make here?" Arthur was interested in Li Mu's plan.

"Of course it's my house, maybe I can get a farm or something." Li Mu's brain hole widened.

"Get a farm in New York Bay-you can really figure it out." Arthur shook his head and smiled, not knowing how to evaluate Li Mu's thoughts.
