In fact, the colors of military uniforms in this era are really varied. For example, the U.S. military uses earthy yellow, the French army uses blue-gray and red, the German army uses iron gray, Russia is pure gray, and the British are the most popular. Their The clothes are big red, so they are called "lobster soldiers".

Li Mu prepared green for the Cubans, which is unique in this era. This is not a deliberate insult to the Cubans. The Cubans have no taboos against the Chinese. Li Mu chose green to strengthen the protection color. What else is there in the lush tropical rain forest? Color is more convenient to hide than green.

Of course, Li Mu is definitely not wearing such clothes. Li Mu does not need to go to the front line, so he does not need to wear a green hat.

"Sit casually, just as if you were in your own home. I do not like being too formal, and casually will make you more comfortable, and it will also make me more comfortable." Li Mu said easily, and took the hat to Yan Shun and took it off. The blazer, loosened the bow tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of the shirt, which made me feel more comfortable.

The court is a serious place. Li Mu pays more attention to his own image. Neatly dressed in formal occasions is respect for others and for himself.

"Ah, Rim, I have to say, you are a guy who knows how to enjoy, let me see-oh oh, Lance Champagne in 1856, this is the best, guys, do you want a glass?" Benjamin Enter the play fast, as soon as you enter the door straight to the wine cabinet.

Li Mu's office is often occupied by a group of alcoholics, so the wine cabinet is essential. Li Mu's wines are all kinds of exquisitely plundered from Washington, let alone in Springfield, even in the whole New England area, it is rare. So in Springfield, Li Mu's office is the most favorite place for all drunks. If you can get Li Mu's invitation, it will be a lucky thing.

The United States and the United Kingdom have deep roots. Therefore, the British people have basically the same problems as Americans. Alcoholism is the same. Even the Americans are too much. In the next few decades, the United States will issue a "prohibition order" to control Alcoholic beverage sales in the United States.

Li Mu did not know if Benjamin was an alcoholic, but it was clear that Benjamin could not refuse the temptation of fine wine. When he saw the Lance champagne from France, Benjamin couldn't hold it.

In fact, there are champagnes in the United States. Millions of bottles of inferior sparkling wine in the United States are sold in the market under the name "champagne", but for the upper class, only sparkling wine produced in the French province of Champagne can be called " "Champagne", and the production of such things is not stable due to the weather. In 1856, because of the weather, the output of champagne was very low, so it is not that how delicious champagne was in 1856, it is just that the value is rare. .

"This one must have a drink—" George Dewey could not help but tempted to take the initiative to help.

Ma Han was not in a hurry, dropped the sentence "thank you" and went straight to Li Mu's bookcase.

There is a huge bookcase in Li Mu's office, which occupies half of the wall of the office. It has a rich collection of books and involves many categories. It is estimated that there are thousands of books in total. In the nineteenth century, a library was almost opened.

"Please give me a glass of wine with ice-" Li Mu also wants a drink, which is Li Mu's habit.

While talking, Li Mu opened the curtain behind the desk, revealing the huge map on the wall.

Li Mu's desk was originally a map of the New England region. Since Li Mu decided to go to Cuba, he changed to a Cuba map. Of course, it is different from the normal Cuba map. On this map of Li Mu, Pine Island and Guantanamo Bay It has been painted red.

Obviously, Benjamin had done their homework before coming here and had a deep understanding of Cuba's maps. After Li Mu opened the map, several people in the office noticed the differences in the maps and gathered together.

"Thank you—" Li Mu accepted the iced wine from George Dewey and began to introduce: "The red area is now our territory. According to the agreement signed between me and the Republic of Cuba, if the Republic of Cuba successfully rids Spain People, to obtain independent status, then the red area will be a thank you for supporting the Republic of Cuba. So the red area on the map is the area we want to focus on, regardless of the success of the Republic of Cuba, we must ensure that the red area is controlled by us Hands. "

"We--that is, Pine Island and Guantanamo Bay will be our American territory?" Benjamin exclaimed.

"Guantanamo Bay-it's a good place to build a naval base." George Dewey had a flame burning in his eyes.

"We must control the Caribbean Sea, where there is a national interest in the United States." Ma Han rarely spoke, this guy is a strategic visionary, as soon as he came up, he built a house.

"Gentlemen, I may be wrong. Pine Island and Guantanamo Bay are mine, not the US government." Li Mu interrupted the heated discussion and poured cold water on George Dewey.

"What are you doing at Guantanamo Bay?" George Dewey rolled his eyes.

"Do you want to be king?" Benjamin had an ideal.

"Even if it is given to you, you can't guarantee that you can stay in your own hands, so it is the right way to hand it over to the US government." Ma Han watched coldly.

"Why to the US government?" Li Muwen sat on the Diaoyutai, and the old **** was still unmoved.

It is not impossible to give to the US government. Of course, there must be benefits. The ordinary benefits are not enough to impress Li Mu. Li Mu's appetite is very great now.

"The US government can pay for it, and then we can have the entire Caribbean Sea--" George Dewey had a navy in his head.

Pay for it!

This is the usual way for the United States to expand its territories. In 1800, the United States obtained the vast territory of the Louisiana region between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains from France for $ 15 million in 1800, from Canada to the north, and from the south to the Gulf of Mexico. It later became 13 states in the United States, with a total area of ​​about 2.6 million square kilometers and less than $ 5 per square kilometer.

In 1819, the United States and Spain signed a treaty, and the United States acquired more than 150,000 square kilometers of Florida for only $ 5 million.

In 1848, the United States signed a treaty with Mexico. The United States paid only $ 15 million for a nominal amount, and obtained nearly 1.4 million square kilometers of land, including California and New Mexico.

In 1853, Gazden, the US envoy to Mexico, purchased another 100,000 square kilometers of land on the US-Mexico border for $ 10 million.

By 1867, six years ago, US Secretary of State William Seward and Russia began negotiations on Alaska. Eventually, the United States reached an overnight purchase agreement with Russia for $ 7.2 million, and the United States bought it at an absolutely cheap price. To the huge peninsula with an area of ​​more than 1.5 million square kilometers and its surrounding Aleutian Islands.

How about, it ’s more magical. That ’s how Americans bought a huge country with money, so do n’t say “impossible”. Nothing in this world is absolute. Reality is always more absurd than fiction.

"Washington can send you a one-ton medal, and you can hang him on the door of the factory." Benjamin's approach sounded a bit unreliable, but if this medal was made of gold, then Li Mu could also consider it.

"You control the foreign territory in your private name, which will make you a target of criticism. At that time, everyone will question what you want to do." Ma Han's words were sharper and pointed directly to the core of the problem.

Yes, as a U.S. citizen, Li Mu is indeed not suitable for controlling extraterritorial territories, and even if Li Mu is rich, he cannot recruit troops to fight against a country, so strategic places like Guantanamo Bay are still sold. Better for the US government,

Maybe Li Mu sold Guantanamo Bay to the US government. Then the US government would acquiesce to Li Mu's control of Pine Island. Compared to Guantanamo Bay, Pine Island is irrelevant.

Private property is sacred and inviolable. It is written in the "Declaration of Human Rights" that although it is the original of the French, the North American Bill of Rights originates from the European spirit of "18th century."

"These issues will be discussed after we have controlled Guantanamo Bay. Everything must be built under the control of Guantanamo Bay, otherwise everything is empty talk." Li Mu is not in a hurry right now. The reason why Li Mu talks about this now is to Mobilize George Dewey.

It is undeniable that even if Benjamin is a second-generation ancestor, Benjamin is also patriotic. Otherwise, during the Civil War, Benjamin would not enter the military camp as a noble son. As for George Dewey and Mahan, these are two fanatic "patriotism" "If you want such people to be willing to be driven by the half-sized boy Li Mu, the name" National Righteousness "is best used.

You see, you do n’t work for me personally. You are for the US government and the United States. So when you get to Cuba, you have to do your job well.

"Hehe, the Spaniards, in my opinion, they are terrible dogs." George Dewey was confident, and now his heart had flown to Cuba.

"The Americas should be Americas that are Americans." Although Mahan's tone is large but a bit indifferent, in fact, the subtext should be: America is the American America.

"I like Cuba. There are so many beauties--" Benjamin's saliva has flowed into the river.

In fact, this beauty has a little relationship with the place of origin. It is said that mixed races are easy to produce handsome men. In places like Cuba, they have been colonized by Spanish for a long time. The race is long mixed, and the proportion of beautiful women is naturally very high. high.

Of course, there are some places where even mixed **** cannot produce beautiful women, such as Africa—

"Well, you guys are ready for these two days. The day after tomorrow we will go to New York and Cuba on April 1." Li Mu's time is precious, not much time with Benjamin they spend in the office.

The day after tomorrow is actually only 27. There are still a few days before April 1st. The reason why Li Mu wants to go to New York in advance is to open up the relationship with the New York Customs. In the next few years, it is estimated that the materials required by Li Mu will pass through the port of New York. It is still necessary to establish a good relationship with the customs.
