202 Don't Waste the Opportunity

The so-called "pure team" is actually to eliminate dissidents, those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish, eliminate unstable factors in the team, and unite and continue to work towards the next goal.

Cespedes is not stupid to be the president of the Republic of Cuba. He also knows that the team should be cleaned when it is suitable. However, this is not easy. Every pure team can be said to be a pain. If you understand the appropriate method, you can indeed achieve the expected goal; but if the timing is not good, the whole team will definitely fall apart.

Here we will introduce the basic situation of the Republic of Cuba. Unlike the United States, which has eliminated slavery through the Civil War, there is still slavery in Cuba now, including Cespedes, who is a big slave owner. It is precisely because of this that Cespedes easily pulled hundreds of people to work hard for him.

In the early days of the founding of the Republic of Cuba, because the Spaniards were unprepared, the Republic of Cuba did make rapid progress on the battlefield of fighting the Spaniards. However, after defeating Bayamo, the hidden dangers of the Republic of Cuba gradually emerged. At this time, the Spanish colonists also began to be vigilant against the Republic of Cuba and transferred regular troops from the local area to encircle and suppress the Republic of Cuba. Therefore, the rising momentum of the Republic of Cuba was curbed, and the front battlefield of fighting against the Spaniards began to fall into a stalemate and was now on the defensive.

The biggest problem in the Republic of Cuba is the lack of manpower in the control area.

Compared with the Cuban Republic controlled areas, the Spanish-controlled northwestern part of Havana as the center is more populated, which means greater potential for war. Therefore, in order to increase the strength of the Cuban Republic, Cespedes had to target slaves within the Cuban Republic.

It must be noted that Cespedes himself favored the liberation of slaves, so at the beginning of the uprising, Cespedes declared that all his slaves were free people and invited these free people to join the ranks against Spanish colonial rule, so Cespedes won.

After capturing Bayamo, Cespedes announced the establishment of the Republic of Cuba and won the general election to serve as President of the Republic of Cuba.

At this time, the indecisive side of Cespedes's character finally appeared, and the cause was the liberation of slaves.

Like all new governments, there are different camps of interest in the Cuban Republic, including conservatives who favor slavery and liberals who oppose slavery. In order to reconcile the conflict between the two factions, Cespedes thought he was smart to promulgate a new bill, that is, slaves can join the army, but only with the consent of the slave owner.

Cespedes' original intention was to neither offend conservatives nor liberals, but this compromised slave policy was actually unpleasant on both sides. Conservatives believed that Cespedes violated their interests, and liberals believed that Cespedes' opposition to slavery was not thorough, so Cespedes' reputation dropped rapidly, and contradictions within the Cuban Republic became increasingly apparent.

After understanding Cespedes' situation, Li Mu could only sigh: "The revolution cannot please both sides. You either fight for the liberals and completely abolish slavery, or you fight for the conservatives and protect the interests of the slave owners. How can you please both sides? Do you want everyone to like you? That is impossible."

Li Mu was also not negligent in treating Darwin Andrew and invited Darwin Andrew into the study on the second floor.

"Mr. Reim, first of all, I want to welcome your arrival, the new hope that your arrival brings to the Republic of Cuba." Darwin Andrew spoke up and did not raise the national debt as soon as he came.

"Thank you for your welcome. Mr. Darwin, the Republic of Cuba is a country full of hope. The future of this country is infinitely possibilities. I hope we will work together to drive away the Spaniards and give the Cuban people a free country." Li Mu would also sing a high-profile sing, and the tune was equally high.

"Haha, I'm afraid you can see that Mr. Reim is now full of crises, and it's not easy to drive away the Spaniards." Darwin Andrew did not waste his time and quickly entered the topic.

"Crisis - There is also a chance in danger, it depends on whether you can seize it." Li Mu did not avoid the difficulties he was about to face, and only if he had difficulties, he would be motivated.

"Mr. Reim, one fact I want to tell you is that the agreement signed by President Sespides and you do not have legal effect, and the National Assembly has not approved this agreement, so if you want to get what you want, you may have to do more." Darwin Andrew did not go around with Li Mu, asking to bypass Sespides and cooperate directly with Li Mu.

"Haha, I want to tell you the fact that this contract was not signed by President Cespedes and I alone. You also know that I have issued national debts in the name of the Republic of Cuba. If the interests are not fulfilled, then I will not live a good life, and the big guys on Wall Street will not let go of those who will damage their interests. As for whether the National Assembly will approve it, to be honest, who cares—" Li Mu's attitude was surprisingly tough, and he disdained the Cuban National Assembly represented by Darwin Andrew.

There is no doubt how cruel the Wall Street bosses are. Even people like Morgan who claim to be "moral" privately raise a large number of gunmen. If the Cuban National Assembly does not approve it, then the Wall Street bosses can jointly organize an army to obtain what they deserve by force.

"Mr. Reim, I think we should still be respectful of public power." It seems that Darwin Andrew didn't expect Li Mu to be so tough. He slowly spoke and began to think about how to deal with it.

"Mr. Darwin, I think the spirit of contract should be paid more attention to. When President Cespedes signed the agreement, he was still the president of the Republic of Cuba. Now you say that the parliament has not approved this agreement, so what do you want to do?" Li Mu was not polite and directly pointed out Darwin Andrew's unjust intention.
