At dinner, Li Mu was invited to dinner with Grant at the Presidential Palace restaurant.

To be honest, all the cooks Li Mu encountered in the United States are incomparable with Lao Yan and Yan Mu. Li Mu must focus on Grant before he can distract his attention from the food in front of him.

Perhaps he noticed Li Mu's absent-mindedness, and Grant still cared: "Why? Not to your appetite-oh, I remember, you have a cook from the Imperial Palace of the Qing Empire."

It seems that Grant's understanding of Li Mu is really deep, which makes Li Mu secretly vigilant.

"The food is okay, I'm just a little nervous--" Li Mu showed weakness, acting like a normal young man.

It should be tense, but this is in the President's Palace, facing the President of the United States. If Li Mu feels as free as his hoe, it would be too wicked.

"Oh, don't be nervous. In the description of Burnside and Ebble, you are not a person who is easy to be nervous--" Grant certainly had him, but he was still in the suit.

"It depends on who we are facing. Of course I am not nervous about Burnside and Ebble, but I am facing the President of the United States, a federal hero. In Springfield, I have heard of There are a lot of stories about Mr. President— "Li Mu said here deliberately twitching his lips, looking like smiling, but more like making faces.

Li Mu's coping strategies have been studied with Ebble. Li Mu is now playing as a teenager who finally saw idols. Even if it is a bit exaggerated, it is acceptable.

"Is it-what is it, let's hear it-" Grant was interested, and it seemed that Grant was still paying attention to the wind.

"Most of it was during the Civil War. Well, Will was a soldier during the Civil War, so there are more things in this area-" Li Mu deliberately guided the topic to the Civil War period, which was the most glorious period in Grant's life.

Sure enough, Li Mu was the most itchy place in Grant's heart, which made Grant see Li Mu even more pleasing to the eye, and even a little love room and black: "Will, that is a good soldier, he is also a national hero of the United States-"

This statement is too false, and also a national hero, why didn't you see you send Will a one-ton medal?

"What do you think about the Republic of Cuba?" Grant lowered the knife and fork in his hand, raised the glass, and finally began to talk about business.

Yes, Li Mu is the "spokesperson" selected by the US government. It makes sense that Grant should know more about Li Mu. Perhaps this is the real reason for Grant to invite Li Mu to dinner.

Li Mu is a good baby in front of Grant, so Li Mu does not drink, Li Mu drinks boiled water.

After sorting out his thoughts by drinking water, Li Mu slowly spoke: "The Americas should be the Americas of the Americans. For the United States, Cuba's geographical position is too important, so even if the Stars and Stripes cannot fly above Cuba, The Spanish cannot be allowed to control Cuba. In my opinion, the entire Latin America, including Cuba, should be the sphere of influence of the United States. At least we cannot allow the Europeans to control. That is not in the overall interest of the United States. "

When Li Mu spoke, Grant listened very attentively. After Li Mu slowly spoke, Grant slowly put down his cup: "So-do you support Monroe?"

Monroe refers to the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe. In 1823, U.S. President Monroe addressed the Congress, stating: "In the future, no European power can take the independent and free country of the American continent as the object of future colonization." At the same time, Monroe also said that the United States does not interfere in the internal affairs of European powers. Nor do they allow European powers to interfere in the affairs of the Americas. This message is the "Monroe Declaration" in the usual sense, and it contains the principle of what is commonly called "Monroe Doctrine."

When "Monroe Doctrine" just appeared, it had caused a lot of controversy in the United States. The reason why Li Mu dared to bring up "Monroe Doctrine" in the presence of Grant was because Li Mu knew from Ebble that Grant himself was an avid "Door Romanian. "

About two years ago, Grant further elaborated on "Monroe Doctrine," declaring that the United States of America could not tolerate the transfer of European colonies from each other in the Americas.

Look, this is a typical example of someone in the DPRK who is a good official.

At this time, he must not hesitate, so Li Mu answered quickly: "Yes, I support Monroeism. For now, we have insufficient American strength, so we cannot compete for colonies in Asia, Africa, and Europe with established imperialism. But we At least we need a relatively pure Latin America so that we can retain the qualifications to compete with Europeans. "

In fact, the strength of the United States in this period was really not good, and the economic development was not bad, but it was far worse in military affairs. Perhaps it was the lack of natural enemies in the American continent. The Americans did not attach much importance to armaments. The United States even has a standing army. No, the navy has nothing to say, it doesn't even have a battleship.

This objectively created the illusion of "peace-loving" for the United States, so when the Qing government chose the direction of sending international students, it immediately caught on to the United States.

The "peace-loving" of the United States is just an illusion. In fact, the ambitions of Americans have never subsided. Just two decades ago, when the United States had just become independent and its national strength was relatively weak, some people in the United States were based on "Monroe Doctrine." Proposed to expel the Spaniards from Cuba.

The reason why the Americans didn't do it was because the American strength was not enough, and because the domestic contradictions were sharp, so the US government did not dare to take it too fast.

The situation is different now. The United States is getting stronger and stronger. After the Civil War, the sharp domestic contradictions of the United States have eased. Therefore, Cespedes has just established the "Cuba Republic". The United States ca n’t wait to recognize it. Let Li Mu act as a "spokesperson" in support of Cespedes to drive away the Spaniards.

Obviously, Grant was very satisfied with Li Mu ’s answer, so Grant dropped the cup and started a long story: "You are right, the Americas are the Americas of the Americas. From the standpoint of the United States, we will not tolerate European countries transferring each other's location in the Americas. The colonies of Europe cannot tolerate European countries' interference in the affairs of the Americas, nor can they tolerate European slavery to the Americans. Therefore, we must support the Cubans to drive away the Spaniards. This will be the first battle for the rise of the United States. The United States It should also have international power on an equal footing with European countries-"

Look, this is the true heart of Grant, and it can be said that many Americans have the voice. More than 20 years later, it was with this idea that the Americans defeated the Spaniards through the Spanish-American War, and began their hegemony. journey of.

Just when Grant was surging, Li Mu had maintained a focused listening state, and the expression on his face was just the admiration and enthusiasm, which further inspired Grant's desire to speak.

For nearly half an hour, Grant stopped and calmed down: "I can confirm for now that you are the best person to engage with the Republic of Cuba. Tell me what you want. I heard Burnside say that you A little trouble there? "

Finally, when it was time to give sweet dates, Li Mu endured the language bombing for half a night, just for this moment: "I don't have any trouble there. As a part of the United States, it is my duty to serve the United States-"

Before Li Mu finished, he was interrupted by Grant: "Yes, duty! Many people are unaware of this and always dream of falling out of the pie in the sky. Their wishes are doomed to failure, and there is no gain without paying-"

It looks like Grant is talking up tonight, and it's gushing.

Li Mu still listened, but this time from time to time echoed "Yes!", "That's it!", "It's true"-

After another ten minutes, Grant stopped talking: "I heard that you have a lot of business over Springfield. What if you want to leave your business and go to Cuba?"

To Cuba?

No, no, Li Mu never thought about it, but Cuba was fighting, Li Mu didn't want to be a cannon fodder.

However, since Grant asked, Li Mu could not pretend at this time: "Of course I do! We'd better send some experienced officers to Cuba to help the Republic of Cuba train the army and help them to formulate a combat plan. Otherwise, I am very worried. Due to the tactical literacy of the Cubans, they are afraid that they can't be beaten by the Spanish. Although Spain is already weak, after all, the camel is thinner than a horse, and the weaker the Spaniard, the more they can't be taken lightly, because they will definitely go all out To keep the last few colonies left. "

To be honest, Li Mu is also worried that his investment will be overwhelmed. Without the intervention of external forces, Li Mu is really not optimistic that the Republic of Cuba can defeat the Spanish.

In fact, in the original history, the Cuban Republic of Cespedes did not exist for a long time. After Willai Nicolaou led the regular Spanish army to Cuba, the Cuban Republic was declining in the frontal battlefield. Cespede There was also a problem with the control of the Cuban Republic of Cuba. In 1873, this year, Seth Pedes was deposed in absentia by the courts of the Republic. In February 1874, the new Cuban government insisted not to let the Seth Pedes in exile and deprive the Spedes's guard, and subsequently, Cespedes was killed by the Spanish soldiers in the province of Oriente while taking refuge in the mountains.

See, everything is a routine. First, he dismissed Cespedes' presidency, then deprived Cespedes of his guard, followed by Cespedes and killed by Spanish soldiers. No matter how you look at this process, Has a strong conspiracy.

If Li Mu only does business with the Republic of Cuba, then Li Mu will not care about the life or death of Cespedes, but if Li Mu is the gold master of the Republic of Cuba, he ca n’t say that for his own investment income, Li Mu has to deal with the anti-bones of the Republic of Cuba.掰掰 Wrist.
