In mid-May, the Ministry of War ordered a $ 3.5 million military purchase order from Steed Weapons Company. In addition to the conventional weapons such as rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and light artillery, the order also had up to 120 254 mm seas. Li Mu keenly felt that the preparations for the war in Washington were gradually accelerating.

As early as last year, Li Mu and Hayes discussed the issue of external expansion. At that time, the relationship between Li Mu and Hayes was in the honeymoon period. The two people's views on this issue were surprisingly consistent. In the choice of objects, Li Mu and Hai Sri Lanka also unanimously chose Spain.

External expansion is also the consensus of all Americans. With the continuous development of the economy, American products need a wider market, cheaper raw material production places and commodity dumping places. This can not meet the rapid development of business only by expanding domestic demand. Demand, after all, the United States is an immigrant country. Those new immigrants have no wealth and no wealth. Most of them came to the new continent because they could not mix in the old continent. It is unrealistic to expect to squeeze oil and water from these people. So the United States Expansion is needed, colonies are needed, a lot of colonies.

The current world is a world system dominated by Britain and France. Although the United States is a rising star, there is no room for intervention, so if you want to expand abroad, you can only achieve it through war. At this time, the choice of objects is very important. It can show the determination of the United States and the strength of its opponents, and Spain meets almost all requirements.

Through the Cuban War of Independence, the United States and the United States have fully realized that the Spanish were strong and strong, so preparations for the war have almost begun when Ulysses Grant was in office. Hayes has only accelerated the process since he took office.

"I met General Sherman in Washington yesterday. General Sherman promised that in the next year, there will be at least more than $ 6 million in arms purchase orders. Of course, before that, we need to prepare about percent For public relations expenses of about 10, considering the overall size of the order, I think 15% would be a more suitable ratio. "Henry, who had just returned from Washington, immediately went to Governor's Island. The Ministry of War's order also signed a car order contract with the Ministry of Finance. Compared with the previous contract, the unit price increased by nearly one-fifth.

At this stage, the United States is almost the same as those in the third world in the 21st century. No matter what you do, you have to do public relations first. If you want to get a contract worth one million dollars from the government department, you must prepare at least 10%. At 15% of public relations expenses, this ratio is similar to the ratio of tipping to a restaurant.

"You and Zhang Leye will take care of it, even if it is 20%, tell Zhang Leye not to go too far, otherwise everyone's face will not look good." Although it is already familiar with light cars, Li Mu still has to say something, otherwise The Weapons Company group didn't know what moths to make.

It 's true that wool comes out of the sheep. Although the public relations costs for the Ministry of War are high, the price of selling weapons to the Ministry of War is also high. The price of a magazine-type rifle produced by the Chuntian factory is 35 dollars. It costs $ 45 to sell to the Turks and $ 50 to the Ministry of War. It is also a carbine with a short barrel and the cost is even lower. In this way, it is most cost-effective to sell weapons to the Ministry of War.

Junma Weapons Company not only produces weapons, but also produces other military equipment such as backpacks, blankets, raincoats, military boots, etc. In the first half of this year, a number of leather boots ordered by the California National Guard experienced serious accidents in which pigskins were used instead of cowhide. Although there was effective public relations by the public relations department, this incident did not have a major impact in the end, but it was enough to sound the alarm for Junma Weapons Company. It is not a good idea to do tricks on military shopping. Li Mu does not need to save costs in this regard. On the contrary, Li Mu also hopes that those soldiers will become loyal customers of Steed Weapons Company after they are discharged, so the product quality must pass.

"Unless Zhang doesn't want to get a salary in the second half of his life, I think Zhang will be serious." Henry did not like Zhang Leye, and Henry never concealed this.

After the military boots incident, Steed Weapon Company carried out a "rectification campaign" for a period of time. Zhang Leye as the company's general manager should have been suspended and reassigned, but under the interference of Li Mu, Zhang Leye was eventually criticized and fined $ 18,000 at the same time. It happened to be Zhang Leye's salary for one year.

Through this incident, Henry has also realized that Zhang Leye still occupies a certain position in Li Mu's heart, so Henry no longer targets Zhang Leye, but don't expect Henry to give Zhang Leye a good look.

"What's George doing recently? I heard he went to California?" Li Mu hasn't been out of Governor's Island recently, so he doesn't know where George Dewey went. He only heard Will mention it once.

Through the east wind of expanding armaments, the Army was also supplemented to some extent. Originally, some people in Congress even proposed the dissolution of the Army's First Cavalry Division. Will therefore on the Governor's Island repeatedly called some people in Congress as "national thieves." The army expanded from one division to three divisions. The first division is still a cavalry division, and the second and third divisions are both infantry divisions. Although the strength is not as good as the cavalry division, it is already a big one for the army. progress.

It 's not all good news. According to the plan of the Ministry of War, the two new divisions are under the command of the Navy. They want to come along with the Navy in the war against the Spanish, so although the two divisions seem to be Army forces, but nothing to do with Will.

Will has not realized what this means, but Li Mu clearly knows that this is probably the predecessor of the future Marine Corps, and the Army is nothing like the two, so Will is destined to rejoice.

However, at this moment, Li Mu does not need to remind Will. Both the Marine Corps and the Army are under the command of the Ministry of War. They need to order weapons from Steed Weapons Company. They are all customers of Li Mu, so Li Mu will definitely treat them equally. So that a bowl of water is level.

"The Department of War formed the Pacific Fleet in California, and George served as the commander of the Pacific Fleet. It is estimated that George will remain in Hawaii in the future." Henry is more aware of the actions of the Department of War. If the Spaniards are now smart, they will send someone to New York to take Henry away. , Then you must be well-versed in the preparations of the Ministry of War. After all, a large part of the preparation of the Ministry of War's materials is completed by the Steed Weapons Company.

"Isn't the Pacific Fleet stationed in Guam?" Li Mu was confused again on this issue, and unknowingly confused the age.

"Damn it, are you thinking about changing your child's diapers now? Guam is now Spanish territory. Unless we drive the Spanish out of the Pacific now, the Pacific Fleet will only be in Hawaii." Henry couldn't help laughing. This common-sense error is hard to see in Li Mu.

Li Mu was really wrong. Before the capture of Guam, the Pacific Fleet Command had always been in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It was through the Spanish-American War that the United States captured Guam from the Spanish, and then the Pacific Fleet removed the station from Hawaii moved to Guam. During World War II, Guam was occupied by Japan. The Pacific Fleet moved its command back to Hawaii. Since then Guam has become an important fulcrum of the United States in the Western Pacific military system.

"Ah, okay, I remember it wrong, but the Pacific Fleet has placed its headquarters in Hawaii. Does that mean that the importance of Hawaii is rising?" Li Mu changed when he knew he was wrong, saying that the world has changed for more than a century. The history of Li Mu was not very good at first. Now, because of Li Mu's intervention, the history is beyond recognition, and it is normal to not remember it.

Without Li Mu's intervention, probably the Cubans are still fighting guerrillas with the Spaniards, the US government is still ripping the Panama Canal with the Colombian government, Hawaii is still under the rule of the King, and Japan is undergoing the Meiji Restoration. As for Ryukyu—

Well, Ryukyu should have ceased to exist during this period.

"Of course, Congress has decided to build the Pacific Fleet Command and naval port in Hawaii. I don't think it will take long for Hawaii to become the focus of the United States." Henry confirmed that Hawaii is becoming hot, and with the Pacific Fleet in, Hawaii 's prospects are promising. .

Hawaii was originally a world-famous tourist destination, where the sun and the beach are lingering, and there is also a passionate Hawaiian girl, which is now Hawaii is not well known to Americans, otherwise there will be many people willing to move to Hawaii.

At least going to Hawaii to be a neighbor with a beauty is much more fun than going to Montana and an Indian to be a neighbor.

"Looks like, I still have an island in Hawaii." Li Mu suddenly remembered, as if that was the case.

Indeed, compared with the price of islands in the 21st century, the islands this year are almost the same as free gifts. Every time Li Mu hears similar news, there is always a feeling of losing money without buying. In these years, Li Mu has almost reached Where to buy, Far East, Hawaii, Bahamas, Caribbean, etc. Perhaps until the day Li Mu died, the island in Li Mu's hands was also comparable to the "Island King" who had more than 1,000 islands in the future.

Of course, although the number of islands in the "Island King" is large, the quality is incomparable with those of Li Mu. Li Mu owns Cuba's Treasure Island, Bahamas's Grand Bahama Island, Hawaii's Molokai Island, etc. These islands are free to bring out a group of "Island Kings" that can completely explode in the 21st century.

"Molokai, an area of 260 square miles, has about 50 residents on the island, and they are all leprosy, so-sorry, so far this asset has not brought you even a cent of profit. "Henry doesn't agree with Li Mu's arrogance. In Henry's view, it doesn't make any sense at all. Although Henry heard Li Mu describe the black sandy beaches on Molokai, what about it? Thinking of the leprosy on the island, Henry had no interest at all-not even mentioning Molokai, as if mentioning the name would be contaminated.

"Say nonsense, none of the leprosy patients above, your information is lagging. The latest situation is that a new resort has been built on the island that can accommodate 200 people at the same time. This year, we will have 100 outstanding employees of Junma Group to go to Hawaii. As a reward for the holiday, they can also bring a family member. This is a benefit that belongs only to our Steed Group. "Li Mu is proud of himself. Molokai really cannot make money for Li Mu, but Li Mu will never ignore Molokai. Value, buying islands everywhere seems to be a bit of a villain. In fact, those islands are all high-quality assets. Li Mu 's ideal is that even if Li Mu 's children and grandchildren do not fight in the future, there are so many islands as real estate. They lost a few more years.

After purchasing Molokai Island, Li Mu paid for all the leprosy patients on the island to nearby Lanai Island, and then Molokai Island became Li Mu's private territory.

Although Molokai Island is already an uninhabited island after the removal of leprosy patients, there are a steady stream of immigration ships from Pacific companies. The construction of Molokai Island has never stopped. At present, there is a considerable scale on Molokai Island. In addition to the simple houses for the temporary transfer of immigrants, a resort has been built near the black sand beach. The construction of this resort fully refers to the leisure concept of the 21st century. The resort not only has gyms and leisure facilities. Entertainment facilities. There is also an 18-hole golf course nearby. In the nineteenth century, this resort was a paradise. If it was not required by Pacific company staff, many new immigrants from the Far East will settle directly on Molokai Island. .

Speaking of which is actually contradictory, it is said that Molokai Island is also U.S. territory. The immigrants who settled in Molokai Island can also enrich the Chinese power in the United States, but this is not in line with Li Mu 's expectations. In Indiana and Illinois, State, Li Mu and a large area of land are uncultivated and uncultivated, so these new immigrants are destined to miss the blue sky and white clouds of Molokai. Unless they perform well in the future, they may be able to come to Molokai as outstanding employees. Vacation.

"Are you sure you want our new employees to go to Molokai? I have to remind you that leprosy is contagious." Henry disagreed with Li Mu's idea and offered benefits to employees. Henry did not object, but such benefits, Henry absolutely Do not want.

"God, are you setting up our biological laboratory? They may not be able to cure leprosy now, but prevention is no longer an issue. As long as you pay attention to hygiene, many infectious diseases can be avoided." Li Mu is not worried. Although leprosy It's scary, but it hasn't reached the point where Li Muwen's color has changed. If it wasn't for the ineffectiveness of the biological laboratory, leprosy should have become history.
