201 Powerless

Although there was no night bonfire party, Cespedes was not in a hurry to leave the barracks.

Li Mu did not live in the mansion specially prepared by Cespedes for Li Mu, but lived in the military camp. This was not Li Mu had any special feelings for the military camp, but Li Mu was afraid of death. Li Mu did not want to leave George Dewey and his protection area when he was unknown to us, and at least had a look after each other in the military camp. If Li Mu lived in Santiago City, if Riley Toinbee could not think too much or someone was confused, then Li Mu would really say that Tiantian should not be effective.

Although Sespedes flattered Benjamin, Li Mu and his small team were still centered on Li Mu, so Li Mu was allowed to choose the house in the military camp, and Li Mu lived wherever Li Mu wanted to live.

Li Mu didn't have any special requests. He pointed at it casually and chose the two-story building that he had just had just eaten. So Yan Hu and Yan Shun took a few gunmen and started working.

Chuxue was not busy, she wore a white cowboy hat like Li Mu, a white shirt with white sand on her cuffs and a red gauze scarf on the collar. The red and white look so beautiful. If that's all, that's fine. The key is Chuxue was not wearing a skirt, but a carefully designed breeches by Li Mu. She wore a half-high horse boots to her legs, and a short silver-shining "python" craft pistol hanging on the belt around her waist. She looked both cute and heroic, and she was really conspicuous in this male-filled military camp.

Benjamin likes beauty the most and can't help but whistle when he sees Chuxue.

This is not teasing, it is just a compliment from the heart, just like a sincere applause when seeing beautiful things.

As a result, Chuxue, who was counting supplies with a small notebook, not only did not appreciate it, but turned around and stared at death, which made Benjamin, the "Famous Second Generation" who came from a famous family, immediately turned away as if nothing had happened.

This scene fell into Cespedes's eyes and truly reflected a lot of information. As a result, after learning about Chuxue's identity, Cespedes immediately increased communication with Li Mu.

Benjamin is a descendant of a famous family, but Li Mu's little maid dared not give Benjamin any face, which fully demonstrates Li Mu's position in this small team. If Cespides could not even see this, then Cespides would not be the president. He would have long known who was trampled to death in an unknown valley as a stepping stone.

It’s a pity that Li Mu had seen through Cespedes at this time and no longer had any hope for Cespedes, so Cespedes did not receive much enthusiastic response from Li Mu.

George Dewey was indeed very enthusiastic about work. After obtaining the authorization for command training, George Dewey immediately disrupted the original organization of the Cuban army, divided all more than 6,000 Cuban soldiers into more than 100 groups according to the group of 60 people, and then randomly assigned more than 100 officers to lead the team and immediately carried out relevant training.

The first training content is to stand in a military posture.

Don’t underestimate the standing posture. This simple action can not only exercise will and enhance discipline, but also cultivate a good military appearance and enhance the collective cohesion of soldiers. This is the first lesson for all soldiers.

George Dewey and his military posture are American military postures. According to Li Mu's understanding, this is a standing method similar to "stand up". This method is not used to exercise the body, but a preparation action when exercising. However, because this action requires both hands and backs, the waist objectively makes the waist more straight, the upper body looks wider and the figure is more majestic.

At the same time, compared to the military posture of raising your head and chest, putting your legs together, your arms hanging naturally, and your middle fingers close to the seam of your pants, the straddle movement is more labor-saving, easier to train, and more suitable for these newly-entered recruits.

George Dewey is still experienced. He does not conduct high-intensity training at the beginning, but proceeds step by step, which makes it easier to produce results.

When Li Mu found George Dewey, George Dewey was also standing in the military position.

As the head of military training, George Dewey must set an example. George Dewey must know all tactical movements and be proficient in them, so that he can establish authority.

This is also the main reason why Li Mu is unwilling to go on the battlefield in person. Li Mu doesn't want to insist on fighting on the training ground regardless of the wind and rain. Li Mu came to Cuba to get money, not to suffer.

However, if someone is willing to suffer, Li Mu comes to George Dewey because of Yan Hu. Li Mu wants to send Yan Hu into the military camp. This is not Li Mu’s mandatory requirement, but Yan Hu’s own initiative request.

Li Mu just told Yan Hu that Li Mu needed to have his own spokesperson in the military, so Yan Hu proposed to join the army without hesitation, just like Yan Hu did not hesitate to block the gun for Li Mu.

"Join the army?" George Dewey glanced at Yan Hu with a determined look on his face, and he didn't have much intention of treating him differently.

Yan Hu's personal conditions are still very good. He is tall and strong. The size of the front chest muscles looks even more spectacular than the chests of many women. He is born with a good body like a door panel. The weather in Cuba is hotter. When Yan Hu was wearing military uniform, he rolled his shirt sleeves neatly above his elbows, so the sleeves that were originally wide and tight are now close to the muscles. The muscles on his arms look tangled and entangled, with clear lines like professional bodybuilders.

"Yes!" Yan Hu stood like George Dewey, with his feet shoulder-width apart, his hands behind his back and palms facing back, his left hand holding his right wrist, and the base of his thumb is the same height as the lower edge of his belt.

No one taught Yan Hu the key points of these actions. He just watched them for a while and learned them himself. This is talent.

"You have to answer 'Yes, sir'." George Dewey enters the role quickly.

"Yes, sir!" Yan Hu was not slow to learn.

"I can't hear the sound too small!" George Dewey demanded it strictly.

"Yes, sir!" Yan Hu's voice was so loud. Li Mu even stood beside him and his ears were a little deaf.

It was obvious that George Dewey was not adapted to this sound attack. George Dewey was stunned and nodded, as if he had accepted Yan Hu.

Just accept it. Li Mu didn't care how George Dewey trained Yan Hu next, and turned around and left the training ground. It was noon, and when the sun was the most harsh of the day, Li Mu had no feelings for the so-called healthy skin of wheat.

Back at the two-story building, Cespedes was waiting for Li Mu.

Li Mu was not surprised at all and led Cespedes straight to the study on the second floor.

Li Mu was lucky. This two-story building originally belonged to a general of the Spanish colonial army in the past. It is said that it was still an earl. The entire building was built with white marble. The exterior walls were full of religious patterns, sculptures and decorative patterns, and the interior decoration was even more magnificent. In comparison, Li Mu became a country bumpkin.

The general's residence is, even if it is arty, it must have a study room. There are still many books in the study room. Unfortunately, the bookcase is inlaid with gold foil, which destroys this rich cultural atmosphere.

These gold foils are not the ones that look like in the 20th century. They are all real gold, and they can be sold directly after peeling them off.

Li Mu's attention was naturally not on these golds, and he took the seat with Cespedes. Li Mu went straight to the point: "Before coming, General Burnside introduced me to the situation in the Republic of Cuba. To be honest, it was worse than I expected. What I am worried about now is that those investments cannot be recovered, and that would happen, I would become the junk stock in the eyes of Wall Street tycoons."

Li Mu's words are also meaningful. On the one hand, he shows his identity as a financial backer, and on the other hand, he emphasizes his backer. The key is to convey a message to Cespedes: Yes, I did have a Cuban national debt, but it is not to enrich my personal pockets, but to support the Republic of Cuba. So let's not mention money, whoever mentions who is a puppy.

Cespedes' attention was not on the national debt, but on the support of Li Mu: "In fact, before this, our momentum had been very good. We captured Bayamo and established the Republic of Cuba. The Spaniards retreated step by step. We had completed the unification of southeastern Cuba. If it weren't for the Spanish's increase in troops, we would have wanted to attack Havana in one go."

Havana is located in the northwest of Cuba, just opposite Santiago. Havana is the capital of Cuba and the largest city in Cuba. It is the ruling center of the Spanish colonization of Cuba. In Havana, the Spanish built castles and churches and established the famous University of Havana. Cespedes graduated from the University of Havana.

As the center of Spain's rule in Cuba, Havana is highly valued by the Spanish. In Havana, there is the largest industrial group in Cuba. The Spanish vigorously develop mining and smelting, sugar and winemaking in Havana. Havana's cigars are well-known worldwide.

Cespedes wanted to attack Havana just said. As for the current Republic of Cuba, even if the Spaniards did not reinforce, the Republic of Cuba would not have the ability for a while. Judging from the current situation of the Republic of Cuba, you will know that it is just where it is, and it has begun to fall into the vicious circle of internal friction for power and profit. Judging from this situation, even if the Spaniards do not attack, they can still wait for the Republic of Cuba to waste themselves to death.

"Attacking Havana is not a good choice. What you should do now is to be a pure team. Don't you feel that there are problems in your team? Although those contradictions have not surfaced yet, if you keep neglecting it, then the thousand-mile rise will sooner or later collapse into the ant hole." Li Mu still gave his own suggestions for Sespedes to come to Li Mu on his own initiative.

"Pure team - of course I think, but the situation is a bit complicated now." Cespedes smiled bitterly. He also knew that the current Republic of Cuba had serious hidden dangers, but Cespedes had lost power, so Cespedes was powerless and could only watch the situation continue to deteriorate.

The introduction of support from the United States is the greatest effort Cespedes made to break this situation.
