The Coast Guard is an armed force responsible for the enforcement of coastal waters and waterways. It belongs to the Department of War and is one of the five major armed forces in the United States. Its scope of work includes the United States coast, ports, inland waters and international waters. In the event, the command of the Coast Guard was under the control of the Navy.

If this explanation is not detailed enough, it can be more intuitive to understand the Coast Guard as the Republic's armed police force.

"It's not appropriate to dispatch a warship in such weather-or, after the snow has stopped-" Ford Humphrey did not want to take responsibility, and sending a warship in such weather would take a lot of risk.

"What's the point of sending a warship after Snow stops?" Li Mu was upset. If Snow stopped, there was no need to send a warship. Li Mu himself could organize enough capacity. In this regard, merchants have More motivation than soldiers.

Many times we often emphasize that science and technology are the driving force for development, war promotes scientific and technological progress, etc. In fact, what really pushes humanity forward is the unsatisfied desire of human beings. Businessmen are absolutely adequate in this respect. As long as there is profit, regardless of the previous Daoshan is still a minefield, and the merchants are fearless.

"It is illegal to dispatch a warship directly." Ford Humphrey's eyes flashed inexplicably, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very funny.

Li Mu immediately understood that legal or illegal procedures were just excuses. The real reason was that Ford Humphrey did not have enough motivation.

Unlike politicians, soldiers have more confidence when facing businessmen. After all, soldiers do not need the support of businessmen, and votes do not have any effect on soldiers. The US Constitution even stipulates that when you join the army, you will automatically lose a period of time. Voting rights, so Li Mu is more patient when facing Ford Humphrey than when facing Arthur.

"Well, in order to thank the Coast Guard for its help, our Steed Group can donate a special fund to the Coast Guard-well, how about 100,000 dollars?" As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem. Save time.

"Yes, but it is not enough to offset the severe cold outside." Ford Humphrey had a big appetite. Li Mu was an arms dealer and the soldiers originally wore a pair of pants, so Ford Humphrey extorted Li Mu with no guilt. .

"200,000 US dollars-" Li Mu doubled directly, and emphasized that this is the final offer: "If the price is not yet satisfactory to the Coast Guard, then I have to think of another way, believe me, this matter is The Coast Guard is more than just a donation, you can get more out of it. "

200,000 US dollars is enough for Li Mu to form a fleet. There will be brave men under the reward. Although the snow disaster has a huge impact on transportation, as long as the price is sufficient, someone will be willing to venture out. We must know that sailors have never lacked. courage.

"The deal, I immediately send someone to open the fairway. Are there any special requirements?" Ford Humphrey accepted the price, and it was the king's way to accept it when it was good. Too greedy often got nothing.

"Of course, we have two freight trains trapped in Waterbore. If possible, I hope you can bring the goods above back as fast as possible. Damn, you stay in the barracks and do n't even know that the outside has become I 'm willing to bet that at least half of the families have stopped cooking. The key is that food is not available in the market, and they ca n't buy it with money. ”Li Mu is not polite. Except for the employees of Junma Group, Li Mu will not Regardless of the lives of others, that was a concern for Arthur and Edward.

By January 17th, the snowstorm had further intensified, many private houses were overwhelmed by snow, the factory had all been shut down, children were banned from staying at home, and nearly a thousand people were frozen to death every day. In order to keep warm, citizens even demolished roads. The postbox next to it was thrown into the fireplace as long as it could ignite. New York's external traffic was completely cut off. Even the Coast Guard's warships could not be dispatched. The ice in the river was one meter thick and required professionalism. To deal with icebreakers.

The only good news is that the Steed Group has stored enough food, and that donation played a big role. The Coast Guard sent warships from New Haven to ship the much-needed supplies for the Steed Group, but when it was dispatched again, one The destroyer unfortunately hit the reef as soon as it left the port. Fortunately, the rescue did not cause major casualties. Ford Humphrey immediately suspended the Coast Guard operation.

"This 200,000 US dollars is a bit injustice-" For this result, although Li Mu was helpless, he could only accept that the soldiers of the Coast Guard were also human and could not take life to take risks.

"Now is a good opportunity. In New York only, our Steed Group has relatively sufficient material reserves. Mayor Edward hopes we can lend a helping hand against the sudden snow disaster." There is no panic in the room and Henry wants to seize the opportunity for Steed Group. A wave of prestige.

"Where is Arthur? He has no idea?" Li Mu was curious. At this time, if there is no action, it does not conform to Arthur's style. Everyone knows that this is a good opportunity to feel good. A qualified politician will never let go.

"This afternoon, Mr. Governor has a speech in Congress. At that time, Mr. Governor will call on all New Yorkers to unite and go out to fight the snowstorm. From tomorrow on, the New York City government will start distributing free of charge in three downtown districts. Although the variety of food is not abundant, it is better than nothing. "Henry is in charge of docking with the city government and knows Arthur's itinerary.

That's right, the way to fight the cold is more than just heating. Exercise is actually a better way. Considering the poor medical level of this era, preventing colds after exercise is equally important.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Just as Li Mu and Henry talked about Arthur, Arthur came to visit Li Mu.

"The ghost weather is so cold, it is hard to imagine that I have never seen such a severe snow disaster. I heard that Russians live in ice and snow for eight months every year. I do n't know how they survived—" Ah As soon as he entered the door, he groaned, fully expressing his admiration for the Russians.

Speaking of Russia, the snowstorm in New York may not be considered serious by the Russians. The problem is that although Russia is cold, it has perfect cold protection measures. People are cold outside, but the home is warm, and New York has not done it at all. To prepare for the snowstorm, the two cannot be compared.

"Shouldn't you prepare your speech now?" Li Mucai, regardless of how the Russians survived, only cared about how Arthur called on New Yorkers to take action against the snowstorm.

"That's Lesley's job. I'm only responsible for memorizing the speech and then repeating it in full." Arthur was not worried. In order to support James Garfield's presidential election, Arthur prepared a comprehensive team of secretaries, prepared All the speeches are trivial, and they are almost by hand.

"Rim, help, I need your help." Arthur came to ask for help and wanted to help himself, without the cooperation of Junma Group.

The Junma Group not only has sufficient materials, but more importantly, the Junma Group has sufficient human resources. In New York, the Junma Group has more than six factories, including the Junma Construction Company, with more than 20,000 employees, occupying the population of New York City. One percent of every 100 people in New York work directly for the Stallion Group. The number of New Yorkers indirectly affected by the Stallion Group is definitely more than 100,000, so Arthur asked Li Mu for help. Regardless of whether it is supplies or manpower, Steed can meet Arthur's needs.

"No problem, I will let Taylor cooperate with your publicity. If you need other help, just talk to Henry directly." Li Mu said that he fully cooperated with the relationship between Arthur and Li Mu, and even Arthur didn't have to run this trip. .

"I knew that you wouldn't let me down." Arthur was most concerned about the Times report. In this regard, Li Mu has never let Arthur down: "This ghost weather doesn't know when it is head I asked Professor Cesi of Columbia College to ask when Daxue would end, but this guy actually said that when Xue stops, it depends on God 's will, God, I do n't know what kind of students Columbia College will teach. Maybe they are all magic sticks. "

Here at Li Mu, Arthur is indeed relaxed, so even such an outrageous thing can be said.

In the nineteenth century, human understanding of nature remained at the stage of divination. There are no satellite clouds for reference this year, and the West does not have a theoretical system in this regard. Prediction of the weather can only depend on experience. The most unreliable, so there is no such thing as weather forecasting.

Well, in fact, the weather forecast for the 21st century is almost the same as rolling a dice. It feels impossible to see all the luck. Basically, it hasn't been reliable a few times.

"Relax, you won't keep falling. Snow will always stop, so you have to seize this limited opportunity." Li Mu told the truth, now it's all like this. It's not helpful to think about it. Or think about it. How to borrow from this, this is the behavior of mature thinking.

"I hope so. The key now is to completely sever external communications. Can't you think of a way?" Arthur asked too much, and even Li Mu couldn't help it.

It is not only the trees and houses that are crushed by the heavy snow, but also almost all of the external communication lines in New York. You must know that these communication lines are directly erected on the ground and have no resistance to the snow disaster.

As for the "method" Arthur said, I want this problem to be truly solved, unless it is possible after the emergence of radio technology. Although Li Mu has invested in Steed Lab, he has not yet started relevant radio research, so Li Mu There is no way, after all, at this stage, even the relevant theories have not been perfected, so there is no way to start, even if the horse racing laboratory has a genius such as Nikola Tesla.

"Wait and see, maybe there will be a solution in another few decades, I hope you will need it at that time." Although you ca n't see the hope, Li Mu knows that over time, one day, I 've seen it in my life Everything will appear. Li Mu is confident that he can see it in the future. As for whether Arthur can live to that day, Li Mu cannot guarantee.

"Ha, whether we can live for decades is a problem, so let's just be realistic." Arthur gave a haha, not too confident about his life.

"Relax, you're still young--" It was a bit strange to hear such words from Li Mu, twenty.

Arthur was born in 1829. In fact, he is only 45 years old this year. As a politician, Arthur has not even ushered in his own mature period, so Arthur need not be so pessimistic at all.

At 1 pm, Arthur left Governor's Island to the New York City Hall to prepare his speech.

Li Mu had nothing to do in the afternoon. He simply went to the city hall to watch the lively event. He happened to meet Rockefeller's car in Battery Park. As a result, Rockefeller also decided to go live.

Compared with a few days ago, the snow situation has gradually weakened, and people can clearly feel that the weather is about to clear up.

Because there is too much snow to clean up in time, the roads are full of snowdrifts. The cars are driving on the road. It feels like walking through the canyon. Only the children are ecstatic. They do n't have to worry about their lives being affected. The heavy snow also provided them with enough "ammunition" for snowball fights, and many children even skied on homemade sledges on the road.

"You said, shouldn't we have an ice hockey league?" Rockefeller's attention wasn't at all in front of the snow disaster. This is the thinking that successful businessmen should have.

"Yes, the sports industry has infinite possibilities. At present, this is not fully reflected. In the next few decades, everyone will be surprised at the value of the sports industry, so don't doubt, now is the best opportunity." Li Mu I agree with Rockefeller's idea. If Rockefeller is also biased by Li Mu, now he has also begun to play cross-border.

"I was looking at the major professional football league you made. That's why. Now that you agree, let's get another major hockey league." For Rockefeller, this is just a big toy. In the future Whether it will be successful or not will be of no value to Rockefeller, just because of interest.

Speaking of ice hockey, this ancient sport originating in the Americas evolved from land hockey. Compared to rugby, ice hockey has a better mass base. In Canada, this sport is currently very popular. In 1855, Canada Kingston held its first ice hockey game. Two years ago, the first official ice hockey game was held at the Victoria Ice Arena in Montreal, Canada.

Until entering the city hall, Li Mu and Rockefeller were exchanging topics about professional leagues. Li Mu even proposed to host a competition involving the Steed Group and Standard Oil, which aroused Rockefeller's great interest.

Yes, as long as it is confrontation, Rockefeller likes it.
