Politicians are all good at getting rid of blood. Many times, the combat effectiveness of politicians is reflected in their mouths.
James Garfield has been in politics for decades and is of course a good player in the blood of the chicken. However, this set has limited effect on Arthur. Arthur himself is also a successful politician. He has already practiced to the full level of various blood of the chicken. James Garfield needs something in substantial sense to convince Arthur.
"The Democrats have been attacking our Republican Party. One of the main reasons is that there are many Republicans who are willing to destroy national interests in order to seize personal interests. I am not targeting anyone, but Chester, you must understand that Reim's Affiliated School is no longer just an educational issue. It is even contrary to the concepts we advocate now. We are trying to win the support of black people as much as possible, just like we did in the Civil War. We are trying to win the support of middle voters as much as possible. They will become an important factor in determining the election results. I am not trying to limit the Affiliated School. It is just that at this critical time, we need to show an attitude, an attitude that proves that we can lead America to continue moving forward, so that we can get the affirmation of voters and completely defeat the Democrats." James Garfield's purpose is still to run.
This is correct, but it seems that James Garfield has gone astray. In order to win the favor of voters, should he have to take action with the Junma Affiliated School? The two are not in conflict. If James Garfield can treat Junma Affiliated School correctly, these two can actually coexist.
Especially under the premise that Li Mu controls public opinion orientation, James Garfield does not need to do meaningless things. It is enough to maintain a good relationship with Li Mu. But the problem now is that James Garfield wants to stay away from Li Mu a little bit, which in Arthur's view is completely in the opposite direction.
"James, I want to remind you that Reim is not just a person. Reim represents the political tendency of nearly 400,000 Chinese in the United States. Compared with the total population of the United States, you can indeed ignore these 400,000 people, but don't forget that these 400,000 effective votes are enough to have enough influence on the election results. At the same time, I want to remind you, think about the relationship between Li Mu and John and Piper. Reim holds shares in Mobil Oil, Piper holds shares in San Diego Investment Company, and Lim and John founded Far East Oil Company together. They are also shareholders of Panama Company, and General Henry, Lim's Horse Weapons Company and the National Gunpowder Industry Association are strategic partners. Now the United States is
The patent rights of all the smokeless gunpowder companies are producing are in the hands of Junma Laboratory. Similar examples include Reim Carnegie Steel. Do you know why Reim's name is in front of it? Because at Reim Carnegie Steel, Reim actually holds more shares than Andrew, and is the largest shareholder of Reim Carnegie Steel. I don't need to emphasize the strength of San Diego Investment Company and Bank of America. What I want to tell you is that don't push Reim to the Democratic camp, which will lead to a result that our Republican Party will absolutely not be able to bear." Arthur is making his final efforts. If this cannot convince James Garfield, then Arthur is ready to give up.
Arthur really couldn't figure it out. The companies owned by Li Mu are not a secret in the United States. Washington is very clear about all this. James Garfield should be more clear. In order not to arouse James Garfield's disgust, Arthur did not mention the good relationship between Li Mu and the Democrats, but this is also a fact. Almost all Republicans know that Grover Cleveland used to be the chief lawyer of the Junma Group. Li Mu did not have no way out, but could only hold the Republican thighs tightly. James Garfield did this to undoubtedly destroy the Great Wall.
"I know, I know, Chester, I know-" James Garfield rubbed his forehead and looked painful. James Garfield knew that Arthur was right. This is exactly what made James Garfield suffer: "I know you have a good relationship with Reim, and I don't mean to target Reim. I just want to, just want to keep a low profile during the period before the election. As for the Junma Affiliated School, yes, I want to promote the Junma Affiliated School model nationwide. We need a little time, a little time--"
Perhaps James Garfield did not expect that Arthur would react so much to James Garfield's words. In other words, James Garfield knew that Li Mu was very strong, but if Arthur did not emphasize, James Garfield seemed to have not realized that Li Mu's strength was so strong, so he was incoherent for a moment and spoke a little incoherently.
James Garfield is like the stupid thief who covers his ears. If he doesn't think about it, he will pretend that it doesn't exist. When he finally has to face it, he will find that everything has been out of control.
"Listen to my James, don't try to treat Reim as your enemy. Alia Hodge's guys, they will make you doom. Think about it, our campaign office is in a tour and canvassing way according to the route and method arranged by the editors of Time magazine. Do you think that if you stay away from New York, you will be away from Reim's sphere of influence? Without James, look at all outside the window. This is also Reim's sphere of influence." Arthur was also tired. Everyone is adults. Can you not be so naive? If you want to deal with Li Mu, let alone the Chinese represented by Li Mu, just a consortium with business relationships with the Junma Group, it will make James Garfield unable to withstand it.
In fact, Arthur hasn't finished speaking yet. Li Mu still has some hidden strength under the surface, which is not mastered by Washington. For example, the companies invested by San Diego Investment Company have all had close relationships with Li Mu. If this part is included, it would surprise James Garfield even more.
Of course, don't forget that Li Mu still has tens of thousands of mercenaries overseas, and even Arthur dared not say that Li Mu's strength is partly strong. If he really wants to get it on the table, then Li Mu can probably launch a coup directly.
In fact, Arthur and James Garfield are standing on the balcony of the presidential suite on the top floor of the Clinton Castle Hotel. The balcony of the presidential suite at the Clinton Castle Hotel is very large. Each Clinton Castle Hotel requires three presidential suites. These three presidential suites occupy the entire top floor. The balcony area is more than 30 square meters and the view is very wide.
The Clinton Castle Hotel in Oakland is built next to the San Francisco Bay. The balcony is opposite the invincible sea view. It is night now, and the sea surface in the distance is pitch black, which makes the lights on the square downstairs even more magnificent. In fact, Oakland has a lot of car ownership. Junma Automobile Company has placed the only car factory on the West Coast in Oakland. Although Phantom Automobile's sales are not high due to economic reasons, BMW and Volkswagen, which are slightly lower in grades, are very good. The huge car ownership brings the most intuitive impression that the streets next to the square are full of traffic. If you only look at the nearest square, the prosperity is almost comparable to Manhattan.
If what Arthur said was still far away from James Garfield, then what Oakland showed before James Garfield was a real impact. If Li Mu was just an educator who founded the Junma Affiliated School and Springfield Institute of Technology, then James Garfield could still put some pressure on Li Mu. Unfortunately, Li Mu was not. Arthur said for a long time, but James Garfield was unmoved, but when he saw the prosperous vitality displayed by Oakland, it forced James Garfield to remain silent.
"Think about James, Reim is not our enemy. Letting the independent school of Junma and Springfield Institute of Technology maintain its independence is not harmful to the United States. No matter what, students who graduate from Junma and Springfield Institute of Technology are all Americans and will serve America. I don't think this is a bad thing. At least some people are willing to do this, which is much better than everyone is busy making money." Arthur was actually helpless. If he was simply jealous of the students of Junma and Springfield Institute of Technology, then it would be better to blame other capitalists for their indifference. Could Rockefeller not have the strength to carry out education? Can't J.P. Morgan build a school? Of course they can, but they don't, which is very telling.
"I admit you are right Chester, but I still retain my attitude. Let's go back to the right issue. We must first win the campaign-" James Garfield finally admitted that Li Mu is not something James Garfield can mess with.
However, this did not reassure Arthur. Arthur actually knew James Garfield very well. James Garfield gave up temporarily, just because James Garfield's weight is not enough now. So if James Garfield wins the election and becomes the president of the United States, will James Garfield re-introduce the past?
Based on Arthur's knowledge of James Garfield, this is very likely.
Just as Arthur and James Garfield were arguing, Li Mu was receiving Chen Guofang on Governor Island.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Chen Guofang's first senator was about to expire. Li Mu originally thought that Chen Guofang would continue to fight for the next re-election, but what Li Mu did not expect was that Chen Guofang gave up the opportunity to be re-election and chose to go to Vladivostok to run for the first governor of Vladivostok.
"I thought you would seek re-election. I heard that you did a good job. Whether it is the Hawaii state government, the voters in Hawaii, and Washington, you are very satisfied with your senator job. If you want to fight for re-election, you will almost certainly be elected." Li Mu is indeed a little regretful, but it is also good for Chen Guofang to go to Vladivostok. Compared with Hawaii, Vladivostok needs more mature politicians like Chen Guofang.
In fact, Hawaii has a very good foundation. Long before the founding of Hawaii, Hawaii was a gathering place for Chinese people. Compared with the past, Hawaii now has more Chinese and more powerful people. Nearly half of the local parliament members are Chinese, and even 70% of the employees of the Hawaii state government are Chinese. Compared with the parliament, government employees are actually more meaningful.
Compared with ordinary people, members of parliament are still a bit arrogant. The ones who really deal with ordinary people the most are the lowest-level government employees, such as patrol police officers from streets, police officers in fire departments, and staff of affairs bureaus that approve tax revenue. These people have a greater impact on ordinary people. Members of parliament have term of office. If the reputation is not good after the expiration, they may never recover from it. However, government employees are different. Whether they are white or Chinese as governors, they actually have to rely on these ordinary government employees.
"Indeed, if I seek re-election, there is a great chance of success. When I resigned from the Senate position, I heard that Hawaii had a parade to retain me, which was enough. I missed the days of being a senator, which gave me the best memories, but I know better that compared with Hawaii, Vladivostok needs me more. Now Vladivostok only has Chinese people, and almost no white people. There will be more Chinese people in the future. Perhaps in the past few years, or even more than ten years, no white people will take the initiative to immigrate to Vladivostok. I believe that if I give me ten years, Vladivostok will become the largest and best gathering place for our Chinese people outside the Qing Empire. I have this confidence." Chen Guofang still has ideals, otherwise Chen Guofang would not choose to go to Vladivostok. This is a new beginning and an opportunity for Chen Guofang. If Chen Guofang does well, he will receive more honors than when he is a senator.
"I have to admit that you are more courageous than me, at least I don't even want to go into politics now." Li Mu was indeed ashamed, but there was not much shame. Li Mu knew a long time ago that the best way to improve the status of Chinese people was to overthrow the rule of the Qing Empire. However, Li Mu was unwilling to do this. This matter was too difficult. Li Mu could pay money and guns, but it was unlikely to let Li Mu charge in the battle. Li Mu was not so great. Don't look at Li Mu having some achievements now, in his bones, Li Mu was still the cautious and cautious citizen.
