In the 19th century, among all capitalist countries, only the United States would give Li Mu a relaxed environment. He did not care about Li Mu's complexion, did not care about the influx of Chinese people, or Li Mu controlled the military industry that was crucial to the country. If it were Britain, France or any other capitalist country, Li Mu, as a yellow man, would probably not be able to achieve his current achievements.

Li Mu really deserves this trust, which is also the special feature of American culture. Like Chinese culture, American culture is also extremely inclusive. Otherwise, an immigrant country in the United States would never be able to replace Britain in such a short period of time and become the most powerful country in the world.

From this perspective, Li Mu is even a representative of the American spirit during this period.

Will's concerns are not groundless. As a Chinese, even if Li Mu has achieved such great achievements in the United States, Li Mu still has to be careful and dare not make mistakes. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the good situation will be doomed. This is precisely because of this reason. After Li Mu walked out of Springfield, he began to move closer to Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan and others. Relatively speaking, capital is relatively pure. As long as Li Mu can bring benefits, capital does not pay attention to Li Mu's skin color.

The establishment of the Far East Company was the best opportunity for Li Mu to tie up the capitalists such as Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Henry DuPont, Andrew Carnegie to his own chariot. For this reason, Li Mu would rather give up Luzon, the raw material origin and commodity dumping market. Being with this group of people, Li Mu didn't care whether he would offend some military generals. Rockefeller and others would effectively help Li Mu disperse his firepower. In Li Mu's understanding, whether it is the current United States or the future United States, capital will always control the greatest power of this country. Soldiers are just tools of capital.

Of course, Li Mu could not be honest with Will about this. Even if Will is Li Mu's father-in-law, he has formed a close community of interests with Li Mu.

"Don't worry, some officers may think that I stole their credit, but I am not alone on their opposite side. I have John and Piper around me, and they are all shareholders of the Far East Company. Although I offended some people, I have gained more friendship. So, don't worry, nothing will happen. If someone really wants to use this as an excuse to make a fuss, I think his fate will be very tragic." Li Mu still believes in the power of capital. Whoever dares to go against capital in this country will die without a place to die.

Not long ago, Time magazine announced the United States' GDP in 1877. For the first time in history, the United States' GDP exceeded 9 billion US dollars, reaching 95 billion US dollars.

Coincidentally, on the personal wealth list, Li Mu, Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, Henry DuPont, and Andrew Carnegie ranked in the top five. Their assets totaled one-sixth of the United States' GDP in 1877. Among them, Li Mu successfully topped the wealth list with US$370 million.

It is necessary to make clear that these five people are all supporters of the Republican Party, which is also one of the dividends of the Republican Party winning the Civil War. This dividend will last for more than ten years, and even until the end of the century, the Democratic Party will not be able to turn the tables.

The GDP share can only indicate the status of these five people in the US economy, and it does not fully indicate the importance of these five people to the United States. Look at the industries in which these five people are located, military industry, communications, electricity, oil, finance, gunpowder, and steel, which covers almost all aspects of the United States. It can be said that the US economy is based on these industries. Without the support of these basic industries, the United States may not have struggled from the economic crisis yet.

You should know that this is not the ultimate of capital development. In the future, the wealth of these people will further expand, and there will be more extreme situations than now. Therefore, don’t use the amount of wealth to measure the influence of capital on the US country.

That's not enough!

"Shit, they are all capitalists who eat people and don't spit bones. Do you have any trust? Are you friends? I can guarantee that if one of you fails one day, then these so-called "friends" will pounce on you faster than others. The Vanderbilt family is the best example, and you now look the most dangerous one." Will doesn't believe that capitalists are a solid piece. Li Mu and his group had a good relationship with William Vanderbilt at the beginning, but the bodies of William Vanderbilt and his son were not cold yet, and the Vanderbilt family became the target of division. Li Mu and his group ran the fastest.

There is no way, capital is born with sensitivity. Generally speaking, the bigger the business, the more flexible it is, and the greater the opportunity to discover "business opportunities". Therefore, we cannot blame Li Mu and others for not thinking about the old relationship. This is also considered the "survival of the fittest" in the capital field. It has nothing to do with feelings and has no reason to say.

This does not mean that friendship is not trustworthy. "Friendship" is also divided into people. For example, the friendship between Will and his colleagues is naturally more trustworthy because they are both soldiers. In fact, Li Mu regards the "friendship" between Li Mu and Rockefeller, in fact, Li Mu regards it as "cooperation".

"Haha, it just looks like it, don't worry, as long as there is a Junma Weapon Company, I will be the safest one." Li Mu didn't believe Will's judgment. Over the years, Li Mu has been deliberately preparing a huge network of relationships for himself, including the New York State Government and the Senate, which are part of Li Mu's network of relationships.

Li Mu still has one trump card that has not been brought out. In front of Will, Li Mu has something to say, that is, Panama, Bahamas and Far East. Even if Springfield Security Company is not counted, there are more than 15,000 mercenaries working for Li Mu, which is a force that cannot be ignored for anyone.

Only Will is a soldier, so Li Mu is embarrassed to say these words. After all, it means "stretching muscles", which will make Will feel a serious threat, and in turn, it may lead to family disagreements.

Of course, if Li Mu doesn't say it, it doesn't mean Will doesn't know. After all, Li Mu didn't hide it from Will when he was preparing these companies, so Will glared at Li Mu and stopped entangling: "You're sure, I'm just reminding you that I don't want my little Will to lose his father so early."

Oh, yes, counting this way, Will is actually part of Li Mu's relationship network. As long as the First Cavalry Division's headquarters is still in New York, no one can touch Li Mu.

"After you said this, I suddenly remembered a question. This time, the War Department was embarrassed by the Spanish War. How about it? Do you want to go further?" If possible, Li Mu of course hopes Will can continue to climb up.

With Will's position, if you still want to climb up, then you may only be the "Minister of War" to meet this statement.

Regardless of the result, because the Far East Company performed well, the War Department was to blame this time. If it were to operate at this time, Will might not have been unable to take office.

If Will comes to power, it would be nice. With the relationship between Li Mu and Will, Li Mu would probably be able to get all orders from the War Department. Although the orders from the War Department now belong to Junma Weapons Company, that is the result of public relations. Junma Weapons Company spends more than one million dollars every year. In the future, Junma Weapons Company will be much easier to make public relations. As long as Gloria puts Will in front of Will, she will give you whatever she wants and will make as much money as she says, and she doesn't have to give a cent rebate.

"Go a step further - don't want it, at least not now." It seems that Li Mu's proposal is indeed very attractive to Will. After a long time, Will said it difficult.

"Then when did you think that William is still very young now, if you wait for him to retire, you will have to wait." Li Mu didn't care who would be the Minister of War. Anyway, Sherman would work at Junma Weapons Company even if he left office and continues to contribute to the US's defense cause.

Speaking of the "Minister of War", there is basically no such thing as "retirement". As long as your physical condition allows, no particularly big mistakes are made, under normal circumstances, there will not be too many personnel changes in the top military leaders.

"Thank you, Reim, but sorry, I don't want to do this now." Will thought about it again and again, but still rejected Li Mu's proposal. Of course, it was difficult to refuse.

As long as you are an official, no one doesn’t want to climb up, so politicians won’t talk about it now. Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers.

"Whatever you want, I just raised a possibility, not that it is necessary to be at your fingertips. It doesn't matter if you don't want it. There is still a chance in the future." Li Mu did not force it. Of course, it was a good thing that Will could be promoted, and it doesn't matter if he couldn't. It was just a proposal, and Li Mu didn't dare to make a promise.

As the saying goes, the emperor and the ministers of the year, in fact, all war ministers cannot end well in office. Not to mention the president's constraints and Congress's supervision, it is very unreasonable to occupy a certain position for a long time. Li Mu remembers that Hayes seems to be implementing the "civilian system", and the War Department is obviously the top priority for Hayes to implement the "civilian system".

The "civilian system" implemented by Hayes was derived from the British civil service system determined by Britain in 1853. Although the civil service system was not completely implemented in the UK, even if it was only part of it, it created the world's best and most dynamic civil service team for Britain. This is a clear contrast with the current official system of the United States. Many important positions in the US government are held by officials with military backgrounds. These officials generally have not received a good education. At the same time, their experience in handling affairs comes more from early military careers. As we all know, soldiers are the purest group in the world. In political arena, this flaw is undoubtedly fatal. The rule of soldiers ultimately leads to the inefficiency of the US government, with many internal mountains and frequent corruption, which seriously damages the government's image.

In view of this, President Hayes is currently vigorously promoting the civil service system in the United States. Unfortunately, President Hayes' civil service system has great flaws. He not only implements the civil service system in the government, but also implements the civil service system in the military, which is strongly opposed by the military.

Little Will now sleep when he is full and cry when he is uncomfortable. Nothing can attract his attention. At dinner, Xiao Cotton Jacket also had his own fixed position on the dining table, right next to Li Mu. Chuxue finally got the qualification to sit on the dining table because she had to take care of Xiao Cotton Jacket. However, Chuxue had to take care of Xiao Cotton Jacket most of the time, and he had no chance to eat.

"Okay, give her the bowl and spoon and let her eat it by herself." Li Mu disagreed with Chuxue's meticulousness, but some of the seedlings are used to force the growth. The little cotton jacket can only barely sit on the baby chair now, and he can't hold the spoon himself. Li Mu wants the little cotton jacket to eat by himself, which is really too early.

As long as Xiaomengao is involved, Chuxue has always listened carefully but turned a deaf ear to Li Mu's opinions. This time it is the same. Chuxue nodded while feeding Xiaomengao to drink porridge, and firmly rejecting Xiaomengao's little hands that want a spoon. This made Xiaomengao very unhappy, but seeing Chuxue's stern eyes, Xiaomengao was very smart and did not persist.

"A child who is just half a year old, I have to be able to eat by myself and will be on Time magazine tomorrow." Gloria is relaxed now. Little Will is full and is sleeping, and is taking care of her with a nanny. This is Gloria's most relaxing moment.

"Nonsense, you and Sandy were like this at the beginning. You never need anyone to take care of you when you eat. It's a pity that you grew up in a blink of an eye." Will sighed. The second generation sat on the baby chair beside him. This little guy is no longer cared for now, and he is very happy to eat.

"Sister--" Unfortunately, the second generation still cannot understand the relationship with Xiao Cotton Jacket.

"No, no, it's not my sister, you are his uncle." Will tried to correct the second emperor's mistake.

English is indeed not as profound as Chinese. In English, no matter it is uncle, uncle, uncle or uncle, you can use one word to replace it. Children who learn English often understand interpersonal relationships faster, at least they don’t have to remember as many as a dozen or dozens of interpersonal names.

"Okay, you guys eat slowly, I'll eat it." Chuxue finally fed the little cotton jacket, as if he hadn't eaten much, so he carried the little cotton jacket away from the dining table.

Fortunately, Chuxue no longer needs to clean the dining table, but Chuxue is still not used to bothering others, so he takes the initiative to take the tableware of himself and his little cotton jacket to the kitchen.

"I'm fine too-" Sandy was also very fast, and she caught up with Chuxue in three or two steps, and went upstairs with her mutteringly. Soon, the little cotton-padded laughter came.

Will wanted to call Sandy, but opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Looking back at the II who was chewing his head, Will's expression was a little disappointed.
