It 's a universal truth that Li Mu and their group of capitalists can work together to control the national policy of the United States, not to mention the new Republic of Panama. In front of the huge Canal Company, The Republic of Panama has no resistance at all and has to yield.

Artificial sword, I am fish.

The current Canal Company and the Government of the Republic of Panama have already had broad and consistent interests on the basis of the Panama Canal. Therefore, after receiving the commitment of the Republic of Panama, the Canal Company will help the Government of the Republic of Panama to establish a large number of people within three months. With an army of 5,000 people, it also provided approximately $ 2 million in material aid to the Government of the Republic of Panama, which of course also includes the weapons and equipment required by the army.

Although Martinez Silva fought hard, the command of this army was ultimately owned by the Panamanian company. Although Martinez Silva was reluctant, he had to admit that the entire Republic of Panama could not find it. The result was that Martinez Silva was particularly frustrated by the fact that a qualified military person could lead the force.

Relatively speaking, the Panamanian company can really be called as talented. In the current Panamanian company, there are nearly a hundred officers with service experience in the regular US military. The highest rank is the colonel, and it is only one step away from the general. remote.

According to information obtained by Martinez Silva, the Colombian government, in order to calm down the "rebellion" in the Panama region, has recruited four troops with a division of nearly 50,000 and is receiving new training for British officers near Bogota.

In fact, when it comes to the army, compared with the British, the French army should be better, but the honor of the French army has been squandered in the Franco-Prussian war, so British training has become the best choice for the Colombian government at this stage.

It can be seen from this incident that the current Colombian government has messed up. If it is training the navy, it can make sense to hire British officers, but training the army, even if you do not choose the French, there are Germans to choose from. It doesn't make sense to choose the British.

The country of Germany is actually amazing. For hundreds of years before the reunification, Prussia provided mercenaries for the entire world, so it was normal to hire German officers. Even the French take it for granted. The British There is no opposition.

Because of its location, Britain, lonely outside the European continent, was extremely detached in European affairs. Before the Franco-Prussian War, Britain supported Prussia and cracked down on France. After the Franco-Prussian War, Britain turned to France and weakened Germany. The situation is that there are several forces on the European continent that check and balance each other, so that Britain can always maintain its detachment and no country can threaten Britain.

It is a pity that the British are countless and have no problem. It is not in the European continent, but in the distant American continent. In the end, it is precisely because of the rise of the United States that Britain has taken the place of the world.

Objectively speaking, Britain did not fail to anticipate the threat from the United States. In order to deal with the United States, the United Kingdom was also thinking about it. From the very beginning of the Independence War, to the Civil War just past, to the forthcoming "Geba War", Britain always played the role With a disgraceful character, he wholeheartedly wanted to suppress the rise of the United States and continue to play balance in the American continent.

It is a pity that the British still underestimated the ambitions of the Americans. If the British knew what the US government was planning during this time, the British government should have a clearer understanding of the United States.

On the evening after the meeting, Li Mu took a train to New Haven overnight to prepare to attend the artillery transfer ceremony the next morning.

This time, the 203 mm naval gun ordered by the U.S. Department of War from the New Haven Artillery Factory was transferred. The first batch of 18 was transferred. Within six months after this, the New Haven Artillery Factory will also provide the Department of War. 96 203 mm guns.

The 203 mm gun is the largest caliber gun that can be produced by the New Haven Artillery Factory. Steed Weapon Company and Krupp Group are developing a 254 mm caliber gun, but the success is far from expected, so in a short time, the 203 mm gun Will become the main naval gun of the US Navy.

The 203 mm gun uses all the advanced technology of the Steed Weapons Company and the Krupp Group. Even in the world, there are not many artillery pieces that can compete with the 203 mm caliber gun. This kind of gun will be equipped Become the main warship of the US Navy on the latest naval vessel to be installed in the US Navy.

Those who have travelled to New Haven with Li Mu also include George Dewey, who has just been awarded the rank of lieutenant general. They will meet with the Minister of War, Sherman, who has arrived in New Haven in advance to attend the ceremony tomorrow morning.

Li Mu and George Dewey were already close friends, and the two of them also saw each other and exchanged the latest information they got on the boat.

Mainly George Dewey said that Li Mu was listening. Li Mu would choose the more valuable part from it. As the focus of the work of Steed Arms in the future, George Dewey also needs to use Li Mu to achieve his goals. So the two Each has its own needs.

"The Ministry of War has now become a lunatic asylum. Every day there are people clamoring for lessons that are not long-sighted. If you ask them specific goals, they will count you all countries in the world one by one, so all they need is A war allows them to be suspicious. As for who to fight with, no one cares about this problem ... "From George Dewey's words, Li Mu probably learned the current status of the Ministry of War, which is very good, and it is in line with Li Mu and Steed. The interests of arms companies.

Li Mu and the new Secretary of State William Ewart talked about this issue. William Ewart doesn't seem to be keen on this issue, he just wants the United States to maintain a stable and peaceful period of rapid economic growth.

This idea is certainly good, and it is in the interest of the United States, but it is not in the interest of Li Mu and Steed Weapons Company, and it is not in the interest of the vast majority of Americans. Therefore, Li Mu 's prescription for William Ewart is to find When it comes to launching a foreign war, it is best to find an old imperialist country that is already weak in power and fight the international status of the United States in one battle. This is in the best interest of the United States.

Li Mu did not know whether William Ewatt had listened to his advice, but judging from the scale of the US government's ordering of naval guns during this period, it seems that launching a foreign war is not groundless.

"The United States needs an external war to tell the world, and to the entire American people, that the United States has stood up. This war not only has urgent practical needs, but also can meet the spiritual needs of all Americans. War is no longer something that can be decided by anyone. "Li Mu resolutely missed any opportunity to advocate war, especially for someone like George Dewey. If George Dewey became a fanatical militarist, it would not only be to George Dewey is still good for the United States.

"You **** arms dealer, in order to make money, you can do nothing about it." George Dewey sneered, without much maliciousness, more like a mutual teardown between friends.

"Don't tell me you don't want to, otherwise wouldn't it be more pleasant to stay in the Washington office, make a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, and chat with the beauty secretary?" Li Mu didn't care about George Dewey's cynicism. As far as Li Mu knew, George Dewey is going further and further down the road of "militarism."

No wonder these two can be friends.

"Of course I think, but compared to making money, I care more about my ideal ... do you understand the ideal? Don't tell me your ideal is to let all human beings around the world kill each other with weapons produced by the Steed Weapons Company. "In an absolutely private setting, George Dewey is a little bit brazen. If this word is passed on, it will be another big scandal.

"As you said, but my ideal is not to let people around the world kill each other with weapons produced by Steed Weapons, but to let people around the world take Steed Weapons to protect themselves when needed. Interests are not infringed. "Li Mu quietly changed his view. Although the result was no different, the meaning soon changed.

"You sly guy, talk about it. With your businessmen's eyes, if the United States needs a war, then who should we attack?" George Dewey trusts Li Mu's judgment, which is based on the mutual trust between the two people. .

While in Cuba, George Dewey trusted Li Mu's judgment ability, and Li Mu trusted George Dewey's commanding art, which made the friendship between the two.

"As long as it is not the United Kingdom, anyone can do it." Li Mu casually responded, swallowing back the "Spain" in his throat.

In fact, in Li Mu's view, it is of course most suitable for Spain to seek a foreign war, and it can only be Spain.

This period of time in Spain can be described as internal and external troubles, domestic political situation is chaotic, frequent civil wars, and foreign colonies are even more disturbing. Several colonies have declared their independence from the Spanish government.

During the Cuban War of Independence, both Li Mu and George Dewey had seen the combat effectiveness of the Spanish army. To put it bluntly, the performance of the Spanish army on the battlefield at that time was not even as good as that of the American militia.

It has been more than four years since the flash of light. In these more than four years, the domestic political situation in Spain has continued to deteriorate. Presumably, the fighting force of the Spanish army is worse than that of the Cuban War of Independence, so Li Mu firmly believes that Spain is the most suitable. American opponent.

"Every country is the same? Is it okay to go to war with the Qing Empire?" George Dewey deliberately made a difference and quickly grasped Li Mu's pain.

"Of course you can, as long as you can find a way to get Congress to agree ..." Li Mu will never hesitate on this issue. If George Dewey had this ability, Li Mu would be happy to see it happen.

Things in the world are really wonderful. Don't look at the empire's seemingly incomparable weakness. In fact, because of the surrounding powers of the powers, the international environment facing the Qing empire is very comfortable, and there is no need to worry about foreign invasion.

Sounds incredible, right? In fact, this is related to the population of the Qing Empire. After all, the Qing Empire has the largest population of 400 million in the world. This is the largest market in the world. All the powers are salivating, but they are not able to swallow it. Next, they are like playing mahjong. They must guard against going to home, but also against going to home.

"Wait and see, maybe that day is not far off. This time the Navy bought six new warships, and then there are eight more. When the warships are all listed, it is time to start the external war." George Dewey knew what Li Mu wanted, and believed that Li Mu had already learned the specific situation, so he simply asked for it.

This does not mean that Li Mu has an eyeliner in the Ministry of War. After all, the naval guns required by warships were ordered from the New Haven Artillery Factory. Based on the number of naval guns, it is not difficult to infer the specific number of warships.

"This is the best. At the right time, with the right opponent, fight the right war. Merchants earn profits, soldiers get meritorious service, and Chinese people are proud. Why not do such a good thing ..." Li Mu said bluntly. Regret, since it is good for everyone to fight, then come a little bit more.

The bus arrived in New Haven, and Li Mu was just in time for dinner with Sherman.

In order to get this order from the Ministry of War, Li Mu wrote a astronomical check for Sherman, several times more than the one given to Martinez Silva, so Sherman was happy. I was also a little worried, so I went to New Haven and stared in person.

However, it is clear that Sherman is measuring the number of gentlemen in the belly of a villain. Because of some additional expenses, Steed Weapons Company did make a little less, but these expenses are necessary and can be used for Steed Weapons Company and the American War. The Ministry has established a long and good relationship, so Li Mu did not cut corners.

American goods of this era are completely inferior to high performance and high quality. The market is full of fake and shoddy goods. Like American goods, American goods have been synonymous with "inferior products" for some time.

Of course, that's a long time ago. In recent years, the reputation of American goods has been much better, especially after the emergence of the Junma Group, because of the monopoly on a variety of products, there are no competitors at all, so it is impossible. In comparison, people have to die than people, and live to be thrown than goods. Without contrast, there is no harm in nature.

"Mr. Minister, thank you for coming in person. I believe that the transfer ceremony tomorrow will be smoother due to your arrival." Facing Sherman, Li Mu's attitude was much more polite immediately.

Of course, this also means that compared with George Dewey, Li Mu and Sherman's relationship is not as good as it seems.

"Thank you Lim, if it weren't for you, maybe I'm in Europe now." Sherman's attitude towards Li Mu was pretty good, not so much enthusiasm, not even indifference.

Enough is enough to maintain the current relationship.
