715 Fate

Fighting is really normal for cowboys.

People who don’t know the profession of cowboys may think of cowboys as rough westerns, the chivalrous and righteous Zorro, or the unruly jeans and cowboy hats. In fact, this is not the case at all. Cowboys are a very hard-working profession, and their living conditions are actually more similar to homeless people. It is undeniable that some cowboys do well, but most of them are struggling at the bottom of society, and sometimes they are even forced to do things that have nothing to do with the profession of cowboys, such as thieves, robbers, etc.

This is understandable, why after the Far East company issued a recruitment notice, so many cowboys would come to sign up, and some even trekked from the far southern states. This is the case with the bad guy Bill. He is from Texan and came to New York to try his luck. Since this is already the case, it would be nice to try it in the Far East.

Chinese with big beards are obviously more special. In fact, Chinese have more choices in New York. In addition to joining Junma Group as an industrial worker, if you want to have some exciting life, you can also choose to join Springfield Company as a man in black. In short, Chinese people have more opportunities in New York than white people.

However, there are always people in this world who are special. This is how the bearded Chinese are. He and his companions are unwilling to accept a dull life. Going to the Far East adventure is obviously more exciting than being a man in black.

As a veteran cowboy, Bill has rich fighting experience. It is obvious that this occasion is not suitable for using weapons, so Bill immediately put on a boxer posture and hid his face behind his fist to provoke the bearded Chinese. His steps under his feet are pretty good, at least they are quite flexible.

The bearded Chinese took off her coat and threw it to her companion, revealing her bronzed muscles on her upper body. She jumped on the spot for a few times to be considered a simple warm-up, and then she hooked her fingers contemptuously at the rotten man Bill.

This action was very provocative. The cheers of the guys watching the fun around him immediately increased by a higher level. The bad guy Bill was stepping on a small step and was about to test his attack. Suddenly, a voice came from the second floor: "If you want to fight outside, those who dare to fight in the company will be cancelled."

It was so disappointing that the hall suddenly booed, and someone secretly gestured his middle finger to the second floor. The bad guy Bill responded quickly, and while he was relieved, he still shouted: "You should be glad for this, otherwise you will definitely make a fool of yourself today-"

The answer to the bad guy Bill is a big middle finger.

The registration work is still very fast. Given that many cowboys cannot even spell their own names correctly, Far East Company "borrowed" more than 20 clerks from the headquarters of Junma Group to register. After simply recording their names and hometowns, someone will review the applicant's qualifications. The review is also very simple. As long as you can shoot 9 shots on a 50-meter chest target, or travel back and forth in the Easter River, you will immediately become an employee of Far East Company.

"Name?" The girl in her early twenties was responsible for registering the bearded Chinese. Although she was young, she was already very skilled. When she saw the skin color characteristics of the bearded Chinese, the girl quietly filled in an A+ on the registration form of the bearded Chinese.

Considering that these people will go to the Far East to perform tasks in the future, the complexion is still very important. Don’t talk about discrimination or not at this time. In principle, as long as there are Eastern people who are willing to apply for the job, they will be approved, regardless of whether they are Chinese or not.

"Jimmy, both Chinese and English names are here." The bearded Chinese expression was calm and did not feel any preferential.

If possible, Chinese people are willing to find a name similar to their original surname when they take English names. For example, most Chinese people with the surname "Li" are called Liszt, and those with the surname "Liu" are called Lewis. Jimmy is lucky.

"What do you do? Have you ever had any military experience?" The girl was doing business.

"I am a member of the Springfield Rifle Association, participated in the Cuban War of Independence, and then served in the Army's 1st Cavalry Division, and retired at the end of last year." Jimmy said a long story short.

The First Cavalry Division of the Army—

When Jimmy said these words, she immediately won a lot of exclamation around her. The Army's First Cavalry Division was formed based on the Chinese troops that appeared in the Cuban War. Most of them have dual nationalities from the United States and Cuba. They are said to have the experience of participating in the Cuban War. They should not retire at this age. If they retire in time, they can serve in the Cuban army, so that they will not fall to the point of going to the Far East Company to make a living. It seems that Jimmy has his own story.

The girl did not make any special statement about this. After filling out the form according to the procedure, the girl signaled Jimmy to go to the backyard for testing, then looked up and shouted: "Next."

"Hey, man, I heard that the War Department is also expanding its army, why don't you try your luck there?" With the golden sign of the First Cavalry Division, someone immediately got close to Jimmy.

News that the War Department was about to form two new divisions has spread. People who are determined to join the army have already gone to California. Most of the people who come to Far East to register do not want to accept military discipline. Otherwise, serving for the country should be a more promising choice.

"Their uniforms are so ugly that I don't like them." Jimmy gave an unexpected answer.

"Hahahaha, that's right, man, I think so too."

Unlike the ammunition rifle that has been widely equipped, the weapon used by Far East Company is the Chunta 1875 leverage shotgun. This weapon has an oversized ammunition bay of eight bullets. It is skilled and sought after to fire all eight bullets in two seconds. In this era, it can be regarded as an unsolvable close-range killer.

It is precisely because the range of the leveraged shotgun is not far, so it loses to the ammunition rifle in the competition for standard weapons. However, this does not mean that the leveraged shotgun has no advantage. In fact, in the dense forests of the Far East, a range of more than 50 meters is almost meaningless, so shotguns are the king. For this reason, the War Department ordered a large number of shotguns from the Junma Weapons Company to prepare for jungle warfare.

Jimmy, who had participated in the Cuban War and had the experience of serving in the First Cavalry Division, successfully passed the test. Jimmy performed extremely well in rifle shooting. The chest target 50 meters away was beaten into a hornet's nest by Jimmy. The staff in charge of the test even skipped the swimming event directly and gave Jimmy a big green poke on the test form.

Well, in fact, because of Jimmy's skin color, even if Jimmy performed a lot in the test, Jimmy could still enter the Far East Company. After all, Far East Company needs not only combatants, but non-combatants are also equally important.

Walking out of the Far East Company, Jimmy touched the ten dollars settlement fee he had just received in her pocket, and sighed invisibly at the Junma Forum in the distance.

"Laoji, have you passed?" The Chinese who came to apply for the job came over excitedly and asked. Just by looking at his expression, he must have passed.

"Of course, pediatrics!" Jimmy laughed, her expression as confident as ever.

On the Governor Island, Yan Shun, dressed in formal clothes, walked quickly through the corridor, walked to Li Mu's office door, and threw an inquiring look at the secretary at the door.

The secretary smiled and nodded, made a gesture of "please come in", Yan Shun tidied up his bow tie, and then pushed the door open and entered.

Li Mu was looking through the latest issue of Time magazine behind his desk. On the front page is a large photo of James Garfield. In the photo, James Garfield clenched his fists as if he was shouting loudly, with an extremely firm expression.

"General George Dewey replied that the Resurrection Society was a misunderstanding. After all, Pearl Harbor is also on Oahu. It is said that the headquarters of the Resurrection Society is less than one kilometer away from General George Dewey's office. At this distance, General George Dewey will not allow any non-military organizations to exist. Member Chen Guofang is preparing to put the Resurrection Society headquarters on Molokai Island, so that it is far enough away from Pearl Harbor that General George Dewey cannot see even with a telescope." Yan Shun's stern report was not mixed with personal emotions.

When Li Mu heard the name "Luoluo Society", he felt inexplicably irritated. In Li Mu's impression, this name seemed to have always been associated with some people, which made Li Mu feel a sense of confusion of time and space. If a big man did not appear according to the original historical trajectory, the crime would be great.

"Tell Chen Guofang, change the name, Tiandihui, Hongmen, even if it is called the Axe Gang. If you use this name, are you afraid that the Qing government will not notice it?" Li Mu changed his mistake. This is not the same as the use of well-known enterprises in the 21st century. After all, the divine beasts are fierce, so there must be taboos.

"Okay, Colonel Steven of the Far East Company called, hoping to get more information about the Spanish Far East Colonial. General Bai Qi also heard that the advance base has been prepared and can settle in at any time." Yan Shun subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. As a Chinese, although Yan Shun had become an American citizen, Yan Shun did not forget those compatriots in the Qing Dynasty. Thinking about his days in the palace before, Yan Shun wanted to overthrow the Qing government now.

In name, what Li Mu did now has nothing to do with the Qing Empire, but it is not actually the case. Whether it is Ryukyu or Japan, they have now become the chess pieces prepared by Li Mu in the Far East. At the right time, these chess pieces can play a huge role, and the same will be true for the Philippines in the future. Just look at the map and you will know that if the Philippines becomes a colony of the United States in the future, it will be equivalent to the Junma Group setting up an encirclement for the Qing Dynasty at sea. At that time, there is only one problem before the Qing rulers. How can you die to be more decent?

"Tell Steven, get a boat full of manpower and set off directly to California. The Pacific company will send them to Ryukyu. The relevant training work will be carried out in Ryukyu. As for the information about the Spaniards, let him go to Ryukyu to find Bai Qi after he goes to Ryukyu." Li Mu did not delay, which is also the benefit of a private company. No matter what he does, he does not need to report it. His execution ability is more than better than that of the War Department.

Since he still has his own little plan, he must carry out relevant preparations. Li Mu did not forget that the Nanyang area has always had an anti-China tradition, and the Spanish in the Philippines are also a pioneer in this regard. Li Mu was out of reach before, but now he has the opportunity, so he naturally has to calculate the general account. It is not good that he has been so confused all the time.

Speaking of Nanyang's anti-China, there are actually many deep-seated reasons. From the standpoint of white people, they also have reasons to have to oppose it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to drive white people out of Nanyang with the strength of Nanyang Chinese. For the sake of their own colonial rule, white people can only impose those bloody tragedies on Nanyang Chinese.

Well, that's the same thing. Understanding is understanding, but it's unacceptable or unacceptable. This is also considered a bad habit of human beings. If white people deal with the indigenous people of South China, Li Mu might watch the fire from the other side of the river, and might also help the evildoers. But when the victim becomes Chinese, Li Mu will definitely not accept it. To put it bluntly, beating dogs depends on the owner. Although the Chinese in Nanyang have actually joined the local nationality and can be classified as indigenous people, they are still the same root and species. Since the Qing government did not regard the Chinese in Nanyang as their own people, Li Mu would seek justice for those innocent Chinese who died unjustly.

On July 15, the Pacific Company's Greenfield immigration ship left San Francisco with 500 Far East mercenaries and their carry-on weapons. Their destination was 9,000 kilometers away. Although the Greenfield used the most advanced propeller propulsion on the Greenfield, the voyage also took about 25 days.

About a week after leaving San Francisco, the Greenfield arrives on Molokai Island, where the Greenfield will stay for three days and then continue to move towards the Far East.

Jumping onto the stone pier on Molokai Island, Jimmy adapted first, and then became familiar with the heavy feeling of stepping on the ground.

There is no way, I have been floating on the sea for a long time, and after getting ashore, I am really a little uncomfortable. Although Jimmy had also experienced a long sea trip from New York to Cuba, Jimmy still didn't like this feeling and didn't like it at all.

As Li Mu's private property, Molokai Island obviously has distinct oriental attributes. The dock is full of signs with Chinese and English words written everywhere. Although Jimmy attended cram school in New York, she could not fully recognize the square characters. However, Jimmy was still very happy to see so many square characters in this place.

There is something happier, just on the other side of the dock, Bill, the bad guy who just got ashore, was laughing wildly: "Wow, hahahaha, Far East, I'm here, beauty, I'm here, gold, I'm here-"
