Li Mu's and Gloria's engagement ceremony was considered to be the last event in New York in 1876.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Li Mu and Gloria's engagement ceremony was indeed star-studded. Since the end of the Civil War, Ulysses Grant put on military uniforms for the first time as a witness of Li Mu and Gloria. Hayes, as the next president of the United States, will be the host of the engagement ceremony between Li Mu and Gloria. The youngest daughter of Rockefeller and the youngest son of J.P. Morgan will serve as flower girls. 25 of the 76 US senators will participate After Li Mu and Gloria's engagement ceremony, others also sent their special representatives.

It is worth mentioning that, because of the military background of the woman, all guests with military experience wore military gowns, making the entire engagement ceremony simply a party of officers.

Unlike Will ’s engagement ceremony, Li Mu ’s and Gloria ’s engagement ceremony has a strong political and military color. Gloria ’s departure from Governor ’s Island to Trinity Church is less than 300 meters. Thirty-eight lancers in heavy armor and spears approached Gloria, followed by a traditional military band. A total of 120 drummers struck the snare drums and surrounded Gloria's carriage.

It was also during the engagement ceremony that Li Mu first saw the Barron family crest. The main body of the crest was a tower shield. Two shielded rifle guns crossed each other on the tower shield, surrounded by bauhinia. wreath.

The guests of Li Mu's party were not all suits and leather shoes. All the Chinese who attended the engagement ceremony were all robes, even Li Mu.

This robe is different from the robe currently popular in Qing Dynasty. It is not a simple robe, but a suit made strictly in accordance with the Chinese tradition. In order to put on this dress, three tailors invited from Qing Dynasty Lived for half an hour.

Of course, this suit was originally not so troublesome to wear, it was only because of Li Mu's unskilledness that it prolonged the process.

The engagement ceremony was presided over by Nick Bishop of New England. Nick Bishop was not appointed by the Vatican. After all, most Americans believe in Protestantism and cannot beat the Vatican.

The whole engagement ceremony didn't feel much different to Li Mu. Compared with the last engagement ceremony between Will and Claudia, it was just a different position.

After the church section is over, guests will routinely move to the Clinton Castle Hotel for a banquet at the Clinton Castle Hotel.

According to the predetermined procedure, both Li Mu and Gloria attended the dinner. When Gloria led Li Mu out of the Trinity Church, Li Mu accidentally found that there seemed to be some noise on the other side of the street. Several people wanted to make a banner, but As soon as the banner was taken out, those people were thrown over by the police officers in the crowd and the security personnel of Springfield.

Taking into account the presidential election some time ago, Li Mu's engagement ceremony, security is naturally the top priority. Bresta mobilized more than 500 police officers to participate in security work. Situ Lei even worse. In order to ensure that the engagement ceremony will not happen In any accident, the Spring Security Company mobilized more than 900 security personnel, which can understand why the banner of those people could not be printed out. Among the people around, one in every three people was a police officer or a security officer. If accidents occur at this level, both Sturley and Bresta can resign.

"What happened just now?" Li Mu found the space and asked Yan Shun when he got into the carriage.

"God knows that there will always be some people who are unwilling to be lonely. Fortunately, we are well prepared." Yan Shun's mood was not very high.

This is understandable. After all, it was Gloria and not Chu Xue who got engaged to Li Mu. Yan Shun was unhappy.

However, Yan Shun did not mean to interfere with Li Mu ’s family members, including Yan ’s father and Yan ’s mother, who believed that Gloria was the most suitable person for Li Mu. Not to mention the two brothers Yan, who had long considered Li Mu as their family. Regardless of whether Li Mu will give Chu Xue a place.

Li Mu and Gloria took the carriage to the Clinton Castle Hotel. After listening to Yan Shun's answer, Gloria should be more sensitive: "It seems we can't get the blessings of everyone, it's a pity."

Gloria said regret in her mouth, but there was no regretful expression on her face. It seemed that Gloria was also mentally prepared.

That ’s right. Even the most popular people ca n’t guarantee that everyone likes you 100%, so it ’s normal for someone to jump out. This means that they have no other way to kill the enemy. Lose 800 ways to find some awkwardness for Li Mu.

However, this degree of awkwardness does not make Li Mu take heart, not because Li Mu is big, but Li Mu and them are not at the same level at all. The understanding of "awkwardness" is unequal at all. .

The Clinton Castle Hotel also lights up. In order to complete the task assigned by Li Mu, the Clinton Castle Hotel canceled all the reservations and vacated all the reception capacity to serve Li Mu's engagement ceremony. Situ Lei also transferred all the members of the Springfield company. The chef of the catering company came to help the Clinton Castle Hotel.

Although the protagonist of the banquet was Li Mu, Li Mu did not have time to entertain the guests. In the tropical rain forest box at the corner of the banquet hall, Li Mu kept receiving a wave of guests, and could not relax for a moment.

The personnel changes of the Junma Group some time ago have been fermented until now, and have finally attracted attention from all parties. It is through this personnel change that many people have learned about the relationship between San Diego Investment Company and the Junma Group. This has led many people to the strength of the Junma Group. With a new assessment.

The previous Steed Group has never had an official contact with the San Diego Investment Company at the official level. Although the name of the San Diego Investment Company and the Steed Group is a cross-holding, the change of personnel is too sensitive after all, and it can be seen at a glance. It can be seen that the relationship between Junma Group and San Diego Investment Corporation is not as clear-cut as it seems.

Considering the influence around Cuba and the Caribbean, Santiago Investment Corporation has a size not less than that of the Steed Group, which is more terrifying. A Steed Group is enough to be disturbing. If you add a San Diego investment The company, then the wealth under the control of Li Mu has steadily surpassed the Vanderbilt family, becoming the first family in the actual sense of the United States.

The first family in the United States in name is of course the President's family. In fact, this is just a concept advocated by the media. Politics is the continuation of the economy. The president needs the support of a tycoon to succeed on the stage, so it is clear at a glance who is important.

Even Ulysses Grant was shocked by the news.

"Yes, I own a part of the San Diego Investment Company, but you also know that the San Diego Investment Company is not wholly owned by the Steed Group, including the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, and even the Vanderbilt family. Steed Group is far from representing Santiago Investments. "In the presence of Ulysses S. Grant, Li Muyakou denied the relationship with Santiago Investments.

"You're right, the equity of San Diego Investment is indeed very complicated, but neither the Morgan family nor the Rockefeller family has the right to decide the general manager of San Diego Investment." Ulysses Grant is not stupid, many Li Mu denied that it was useless.

The shareholding of the San Diego company has been seriously dispersed to this day. Although Li Mu has listed several families, he has not yet finished. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Mu deliberately ignores the Barron family. If the Barron family is included, then Li Mu Already has absolute control of the San Diego Investment Company, which Li Mu is trying to avoid.

Prior to the emergence of the Junma Group, these large companies in the United States were basically family businesses, such as the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family. They had absolute control of the family business, and even some were wholly-owned enterprises. There was no equity at all. Say.

The emergence of the Steed Group broke this situation. Starting from Li Mu and Rockefeller's cooperation with Mobil Oil, these big families in the United States gradually became closer and the industry began to appear cross-controlled. This is a good thing for Li Mu and allowed Li Mu and Steed The group plays a greater role and has greater influence, and at the same time allows these big families in the United States to form a closer whole. They are no longer fighting alone or appearing in the international market as a whole.

This disruption is revolutionary.

"I have no intention of tangling the equity of the San Diego Investment Company. What I really want to say is, Rim, I hope you can better use your influence and expand the voice of the United States in the Caribbean. I believe this will also give Junma Group New opportunities for development. "Ulysses Grant, as the president of the United States, has been criticized during his administration, but his vision is unusual after all.

Since the United States put forward "isolationism" more than a hundred years ago, the term has developed anew. Americans are no longer satisfied with the development of the domestic economy and have begun to consider external expansion. For Li Mu and Steed Group, it is true It was an opportunity. After all, Li Mu's involvement in the Cuban War of Independence was the first attempt of the United States.

The most immediate benefit to the United States from the Cuban War of Independence was the Guantanamo Naval Base. The United States has since established an enclave in the Caribbean surroundings, and it is also a base camp, allowing the United States to finally have a chance to make its own voice in the Caribbean.

Ulysses Grant's attitude is clear: America is the Americas of the Americans.

Does this sound loud and tall?

In fact, it is full of selfishness.

There is only one U.S. dominion each week. If the American countries are all independent, even if all the nations are tied together, it will not be enough to compete with the United States. This makes the American ambitions as vigorous and irresistible as spring weeds. Americans Can't wait to get involved in the Caribbean.

"Of course I will, you know, through the Cuban War of Independence, I have a good relationship with the Cuban ruling class. This is our useful attempt. If possible, I hope to extend this model to other countries in the Americas within ten years. , Or even within five years, we may be able to clean up the power of the old European colonial empire from the surrounding areas of the Caribbean Sea, and that is when we can really flex our muscles. "Li Mu's tone was even greater than that of Ulysses S. Grant Be radical.

The United States really wants to control the Caribbean, and Li Mu also wants to expand the influence of the United States in the Caribbean. After all, there are many things. It is not convenient to use Li Mu and Steed Group as personal names or company names. Earlier, Li Mu's work would be much better.

"Speaking of the Cuban War of Independence ... It also requires us to think long-term ..." Ulysses Grant thought and thought, endured and endured, after all, there was still a trace of reason left untouched by Li Mu.

The old European colonial empire had a saying: Africa is the back garden of Europe.

If this is the case, then the Americas are the green pastures in front of the old European colonialist houses. Whether it is the back garden or the green pastures, it is almost impossible to give up, so if the United States really expels European forces from the surrounding areas of the Caribbean Sea, Then it is tantamount to the United States declaring war on Europe as a whole.

As an arms dealer, such a scene is of course Li Mu's pleasure to see, but for Ulysses Grant, this is like a disaster. Even if Ulysses is arrogant, he will never Take this step.

At least not now.

"Why not? Look around the Caribbean, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Dutch ... what else can these countries have to do? They only want to sleep on the meritorious merit sheet and keep their ancestors The legacy they left behind is already a big blessing, so they do n’t deserve these colonies right now, and in my opinion, the word colony is really too old. Now it ’s the nineteenth century. We need a new model. Really seek benefits for the United States. "Li Mu spared no effort, as long as he had the opportunity, he desperately advocated the importance of the Caribbean Sea to the United States.

"I know, I know, let me think again ..." Ulysses S. Grant finally lost, and facing the beautiful scenes described by Li Mu, it cannot be said that Ulysses S. Grant could not remain sane.

"Well, I'll wait for your good news ..." Li Mu didn't expect to persuade Ulysses S. Grant through a brief exchange.

In fact, Li Mu's purpose is not in Cuba, nor in the Caribbean Sea. Li Mu's real purpose is the Panama Canal. In this era, if Li Mu and the Steed Group's approach is right, then they may really be able to seize the right to excavate the Panama Canal.

King of the Canal!

The name is really exciting.
