The preparatory work for the car rally actually began two months ago. On the first weekend of January 1895, the car rally will officially open in New York.

If you want to host a successful rally, the track is indispensable. It is not easy to find a track that meets the requirements in Manhattan, which has a lot of money. After the field inspection, Li Mu finally chose the track in the Junma Automobile Factory.

The Junma Automobile factory covers a very large area, with a total area of 30 square kilometers. Now it uses less than one tenth, and the rest is grass.

Although the grass has not yet been used, the use has been planned, the road has been partially paved, and it is also an asphalt road. It is not difficult to transform these roads into race tracks. Junma First Construction Company entered the field for only half a month. The 2.5-kilometer track has been completed, and the bleachers are currently being installed. It is expected that 100,000 people will watch the race.

Without Li Mu's advance intervention, the world's first car race would be held in Paris in 1887, and now this honor definitely belongs to New York.

Li Mu has developed quite perfect rules for the New York Rally. The rally is divided into two parts: qualifying and the main race. When the main race starts, the players will have a total of 40 laps on the track. Considering that it is still 1874, so this It's a big challenge for car performance.

Li Mu is still very confident about Junma Automobile's products. Junma Automobile factory conducted relevant tests on "BMW" and "Phantom" half a year ago. The results were not bad. The phantom ran through the whole process without any problems. There was a slight problem with BMW's engine, but after the emergency treatment by technicians, the entire process was successfully completed.

It is estimated that there will be a total of nine teams participating in the New York Auto Rally. Among them, the Junma Automobile Factory will organize four teams to participate, namely "BMW", "Phantom", "Mustang" and "Volkswagen".

If there were no accidents, one, two or three would belong to the Steed Weapon Factory.

However, it is not easy to say. For example, the standard oil fleet organized by Rockefeller uses a "phantom" car produced by the Junma Automobile Factory. As long as the driver and logistics personnel have no problem in technology, the standard oil fleet is still very competitive.

If Rockefeller is really keen, Li Mu has just decided to hold a rally. Rockefeller is the first to register. Although there is no car factory under Rockefeller's name, as long as the team participates, it is itself a propaganda of Standard Oil.

Rockefeller's abacus was very good. Li Mu held rally to promote cars, and if cars are popular, the first beneficiary is Standard Oil. Do n't forget that Standard Oil is a super trust. I want to buy gasoline in the US market. Standard oil goes.

Like Rockefeller, there is also J.P. Morgan. Cars also need insurance. J.P. Morgan now controls the largest insurance company in the United States. The Morgan family has reached an agreement with the Steed Group. The family insurance company is recommended to every customer, and as long as the customer who bought the car chooses to purchase the insurance of the Morgan family, the Morgan family will give part of the rebate to the Steed Group.

Hmm, this is what complements each other.

In mid-December, the battle in Montana was finally over, and Will led the last batch of the Cavalry's First Division to withdraw from Montana and arrived at Myers Station in mid-December.

Miles is in Montana, and Washington has placed the First Cavalry Division in this area. The significance of vigilance and surveillance of the Indians is obvious.

However, the Indians are now basically free of threats. The last Indian armed group was annihilated in Payet in mid-November. The Indians no longer have a formed armed force and want to restore their strength indefinitely.

Will, as the teacher of the riding division, had a two-month vacation this time. This time Will finally remember to bring Yan Hu back. If Yan Hu is not allowed to go home again, it is estimated that Mother Yan will cry blind.

The son of a thousand miles is worried. Although Yan Hu is barely a senior general now, there is not much chance of charging, but after all, anything can happen on the battlefield, so Yan's mother is very worried.

So Yan Hu stayed in New York for only one night, and returned to Springfield by train the next morning.

After Yan Hu left, Li Mu was able to take care of Yan Hu's "luggage."

Well, it's not appropriate to use luggage to describe it. After all, the wicker box of a half section of train skin is too large.

The Indians like gold products very much. The last time Will returned to New York, Li Mu was shocked by Will's great efforts. This time he was shocked again, so that Li Mu had a little regret not to go to Montana. It seems that he missed a lot. good stuff.

Fortunately, the Yan family and Li Mu did not distinguish each other. Li Mu never digs for food and clothing. The Yan family did not treat themselves as outsiders. They owe Li Mu so much that they may not be able to pay it off in this life. That doesn't matter to you or me, anyway, this life is the same as life and death.

Yan Hu still trusts Li Mu, and entrusts the returned items to Li Mu for treatment, and then no longer asks questions. Li Mu opens a bank account with Yan Hu and deposits one million dollars for Yan Hu at one time.

This one million US dollars is not the value of gold brought back by Yan Hu. In fact, the value of gold brought back by Yan Hu is much more than one million. Li Mu knows that Yan Hu is now a senior military officer and spends more money. When it 's not good, he always asks Li Mu for money. This is convenient for Yan Hu to use at any time.

As Christmas approaches, a major event takes place in Washington.

The cause of the incident was whiskey. About two years ago, the Minister of Finance Benjamin Bristol found that the taxation of alcoholic goods did not match, so he sent people to investigate, and the results were shocking. Wine merchants and government officials were embarrassed. They Formed a huge chain of interests, imported a large amount of whiskey from Europe, then St. Louis filling, and finally disguised as American whiskey for sale.

The U.S. government now imposes high tariffs on imported goods. Businessmen in St. Louis do so. The government loses more than $ 5 million in taxes each year. Think about the current GDP of the U.S. government, so the big $ 5 million case It really shocked the country.

If that is the case, it is not enough to be speechless. Benjamin Bristol organized a group of incorruptible officials to conduct in-depth visits, and soon closed several wineries and several domestic tax offices. As the investigation progressed, Benjamin Bristow found that the corruption and bribery involved were serious. Benjamin Bristow was eager to bring these people to justice, but there always seemed to be an invisible hand that was destroying Treasury officials. Efforts, whenever the Bristol sent a secret investigator to obtain evidence, the whiskey group seemed to know in advance that they were going, and the evidence of the crime was suddenly disappeared.

This dramatic situation was repeated many times, and Bristol gradually realized that the criminal group might have its own eyeliner at high levels of government.

Soon, Bristol organized another investigation, and then Bristol intercepted a telegram from Washington, which said "Reorganize the housework, friends want to come to you".

What's even more speechless is that the telegram came from the hand of the President of the President's Palace, Abel.

Seeing that his brother-in-law was about to be imprisoned, President Grant was greatly shaken. On the one hand, Grant instructed Bristol to "not allow any guilty person to escape", but at the same time pleaded with Ebble and wrote a compliment. Boer's testimony of honesty in defense of Ebour at trial.

Faced with such a testimony, the jurors were reluctant to vote in favour of Abel's innocence because of the reluctance of the jurors to openly confront the president.

At the same time as Abel, 110 other people were tried, except for Abel, who were convicted.

When hearing the news of Abel's innocence, President Grant happily danced and immediately sent his son to congratulate his sister.

This is a funny but bitter scene in American history.

Public opinion throughout the United States was uproar, and even "Time" published a headline headline "Sad Day" on the front page.

Angry Bristol resigned as Treasurer.

People inside the Republican Party also said sadly, "The Republican Party has become by far the most corrupt and corrupt party."

The next day Abel was acquitted, Arthur came to Li Mu.

Li Mu could see that Arthur was in a bad mood, so he went to San Jose with Arthur and invited Arthur to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Arthur finally said distressedly: "Our Republican Party is over. The next presidential election, I feel we will definitely lose."

The current public opinion is very bad for the Republican Party. Some radical newspapers in the south have blatantly asked Grant to step down and advance the presidential election. Arthur and Li Mu are both Republican middlemen. The standard Grant is not related. Li Mu is better. After all, Li Mu is not an official. As the mayor of New York, Arthur is under extreme pressure in this wave.

New York is the gateway to the East Coast of the United States. The financial center of the United States, Republicans and Democrats all regard New York as a must-try place, so the collision of ideas here is fierce.

"Not to wait, when the next year's election begins, this wave of waves has passed. At that time, the Independence Centennial Exhibition will be held, so we still have the opportunity to reorganize." Li Mu is not in a hurry.

If Li Mu is right, after the Civil War, the presidency has been occupied by the Republican Party for 16 years. It was precisely after Arthur stepped down that the Democratic Party got the chance to take office.

At the cusp of the whisky case, the Republican Party must have had a hard time. Since you have done something wrong, it should be a few words of abuse.

Grant's term will not expire until 1877. It is still early, so Li Mu can't worry.
