If Li Mu is still the unknown young boy in the United States, then Li Mu may still have the opportunity to return to the Qing Empire. Now it is impossible. The value of Steed Group has far exceeded the acceptable level in Washington. Li Mu can only be the United States in his life. People, as long as Li Mu shows suspicion of transferring assets even a little, Washington will immediately take measures. For a tycoon like Li Mu, Washington cannot be without any precautions. For example, the guards around Li Mu do not know how many secret agents are installed in Washington.

It's not just Li Mu, such as Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. Washington will also try to monitor it. As long as Li Mu and their tycoons don't do anything that offends the interests of the United States, Washington will willingly support Li Mu for them and maintain Li Mu. Their interests, but as long as Li Mu has acted against the interests of the United States, Washington will never condone them.

Therefore, Li Mu had no choice but to reject Lei Haobo.

Of course, not all of them refused. Li Mu could not return to the Qing Empire, but this did not mean that Li Mu could do nothing. As a qualified "arms dealer", Li Mu could use his own methods to help overthrow the Qing Empire.

"Before you want to do anything, I suggest that you be prepared. For example, you can recruit some staff and send them to Ryukyu or Luzon for training. At the same time, Steed Weapons Company can provide you with all the help you can. Light and heavy machine guns, and even various types of artillery, if you have insufficient funds, Bank of America can even provide you with an interest-free loan. Of course, you must have a suitable mortgage. "As long as Li Mu is not allowed to go into battle, everything else is fine Okay.

Regarding this collateral, in fact, there is great flexibility. For example, the customs of the Qing Empire were mortgaged to the British.

Objectively speaking, this is not a bad thing. Since the Englishman Hurd began to control the Qing Empire Customs, from 1865 to 1875, the income of the Qing Empire Customs steadily increased from 8.3 million silver to 12 million. The total revenue is only about 60 million yuan in silver, and the customs tax has accounted for nearly 20%. After the Second Opium War, 16 million military expenses to compensate Britain and France were allocated from tariff revenue.

By 1866, the Qing Empire ’s external compensation was actually paid off, so the six achievements of customs tax were allocated by the court to the provinces for Westernization movements across the country, such as the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration, Jinling Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, Fuzhou Ship Management Bureau, and The ship administration school, Tianjin Machinery Bureau, the Changjiang Estuary to Nanjing Shimonoseki, and other 9 battery turrets, and later the Beijing Normal University Tongwen Pavilion, young children went to the United States to study in the United States. The funding came from customs.

It is a sad fact that customs control in the hands of the British will generate more taxes than control in the Qing Empire. Therefore, Hurd is still the General Taxation Department of the Qing Empire Customs.

The collateral that Li Mu refers to is a tax similar to the national customs. For Lei Haobo, who has not yet started, it is basically a flower in the mirror. Even if Lei Haobo rebelled successfully, the customs control was in Li Mu. Here, there is no impact on Lei Haobo, and if Lei Haobo's rebellion fails, then it doesn't matter if the influence is not affected. Bank of America's money to Lei Haobo is equal to Li Mu.

In other words, this is Li Mu ’s personal assistance to Lei Haobo. Just through the Bank of America's turnover, the money immediately became justified.

"Lee Yee, Leimou has no teeth to memorize." Lei Haobo is also an old oiler in the business field. He immediately heard Li Mu's meaning and was overjoyed for a while.

Just kidding, asking people to give people, asking for money, and not fighting for power. Such a boss is the real angel investment. Lei Haobo never imagined that Li Mu would speak so well.

"By the way, remind you, if you need an instructor, don't be polite. I recommend Far East Company or Ezo Company, I believe they can meet your requirements." Since I decided to help, Li Mu simply helped a little more thoroughly, shrimp Yi Company will not say that Far East Company is a mercenary company already registered in Washington. As long as Lei Haobo's contact with the Far East Company is limited to the commercial area, no one can find Li Mu's.

This instructor, of course, depends on how you understand it. In fact, the boundaries are not so clear. As long as the procedures are legal, the instructor can even be used as a mercenary, which also belongs to the commercial category.

"Master Li, send someone to the Far East Company for training and hire an Ezo instructor to teach in China?" Lei Haobo was very clever and immediately understood Li Mu's meaning.

"Ha ha ha ha, of course you can." Li Mu is satisfied. To overthrow the Qing government, he needs a clever man like Lei Haobo. If Lei Haobo is stubborn, Li Mu's support for Lei Haobo will be discounted.

Of course, before officially raising the anti-flag, Lei Haobo still has some work to do. For example, Lei Haobo's nationality will be changed to a European country, and Lei Haobo's family will also emigrate to Luzon. Rebellion by the side.

On November 20th, Jimmy's expedition finally landed on the island of New Guinea.

No, in fact, within the Far East company, the name of New Guinea Island has been replaced by Jurassic Island. If you have not seen "Jurassic Park", you probably don't understand why Li Mu used this strange name instead of "New Guinea Island." "But there is no problem. Don't mention the name" New Guinea ", even if it is" Guinea ", the source of the name is not very logical. It is said that a French navigator arrived at the coast of West Africa and asked a local Woman: "Where is this place?" The woman did not understand French and said "Guinea" in Turkish, indicating that she was a woman, so the navigator mistakenly thought it was a place name, so it spread.

What logic is there?

The eighteenth-century Jurassic Island still retains its original original ecology without any trace of human involvement. Jimmy's landing position is located in the northwest of Jurassic Island, which was the position where the Dutch landed on the island in 1828. Unfortunately, the Dutch did not develop any form of Jurassic Island. There were two abandoned wooden houses on the landing site, and there was a engraving in Dutch to indicate that the island was owned by the Dutch. In addition, there is no trace of civilization.

Of course, now, this stele has no effect. On behalf of the Dutch East India Colonial Government, Baron Riem has transferred all the rights of the Dutch on the island of New Guinea to Li Mu privately, so the first thing after Jimmy landed The thing is to order people to destroy the stone monument set by the Dutch, and then replace it with the symbol of the Steed Group.

The size of this stele is quite large. I do n’t know how much effort the Dutch sent the stele to Jurassic Island. It was easy to destroy it. The two mercenaries hurriedly buried a packet of explosives under the stele. After a loud noise, the stele was blown into pieces. These pieces of gravel will become the cornerstone of the construction of the pier in the future.

The two wooden houses were out of repair due to years of disrepair, and Jimmy had no intention of repairing them. Several mercenaries used to knock down the wooden houses and ignite them. The fire ignited the nearby grass and burned a lot of open space. This made Jimmy very Satisfied, decided to set up a forward base here.

It's explosives and it's on fire. I can't hide the indigenous tribe on the island, but Jimmy doesn't care. This is not Luzon. There is no Chinese on the island. Jimmy can finally let go.

The construction of the temporary camp is very troublesome. The Far East Company has strict regulations on the setting of the temporary camp. The spacing between the tents, the trenches and barbed wire outside the camp wall, and the height of the outer wall all have detailed standards. It is possible to prepare materials in advance, without the need for local materials, which greatly reduces the workload of the expedition.

In order to complete the camp trimming work as quickly as possible, Jimmy also picked up the hammer and smashed a 3.5-meter-high, 1-meter-wide one at the end into a sharp triangle into the ground.

Fortunately, the process of building a temporary camp was smooth, without any trouble, no wild animals, no tribal indigenous people, and the weather was even clear.

At night, Jimmy didn't dare to care. Jimmy told the machine gunner on the sentinel tower that as long as the sun goes down, no creatures, as long as they try to approach the temporary camp, they should be killed.

Jimmy's worries were not unnecessary. At night, the temporary camp was completely dark, and the mercenaries strictly followed the rules. Even if they went to the toilet, they had to solve it in their tent.

Outside the temporary camp, more than a dozen bonfires were burning, all trees and bushes within 50 meters of the camp's outer wall were cleared, and the sentry on the sentry tower did not dare to take care. In one corner, the light machine gun in his hand had been opened for insurance.

"Hi Tom, do you have a cigarette? Give me one." A sentry felt a bit sloppy and needed some stimulation to focus.

"Change one pack for another, otherwise don't think about it." Tom took the opportunity to blackmail. When the mercenaries set off, each of them had a quota of thirty packs of cigarettes. This is one of the benefits of the operation personnel. This rule only applies to the task. Will be executed.

"Vampire!" The guy who forgot to bring a cigarette thought he was unlucky. Although the tent was 20 meters away, no one dared to leave the post without permission, otherwise the price would not be as simple as a pack of cigarettes.

In the case of the First Cavalry Division, such a case was spread. When the current War Secretary Sherman led the army to attack the Indians, a sentinel was dismissed privately. As a result, the camp of the 7th Cavalry Regiment was raided by the Indians in that battle. All 211 cavalrymen, including Lieutenant Colonel Custer, were killed. It was not until two days later that Alfred Terry led the army to rescue the remaining troops.

No one paid attention to the real cause of the death of Colonel Custer and 211 cavalry, but this case has become an unforgettable warning for all mercenaries in the Far East Company. Since then, no one has dared to take the lives of himself and his comrades. Just kidding, the sentry is on duty, even if he goes to the toilet, he has to settle on the post.

"Tom, it is said that there are tens of thousands of indigenous people on this island, maybe even more. If we kill them all, do you say, is it possible that Mr. Ream will pay us at Indian prices?" With a pack of cigarettes The guy who switched to a cigarette at the cost has nothing to say, this is the best way to stay awake.

"Bob, don't even think about it, there are no indigenous people on this island, none of them." Tom lamented that without indigenous people, there was one less opportunity to make a lot of money.

"How could it not? I tell you, as long as we kill the indigenous people, Mr. Riem will not be stunned." Bob held the light machine gun in his arms, as if he saw countless dollars flying towards himself.

"Bob, there's something wrong with me." Tom was very alert. Before joining Far East, Tom was a veteran cowboy. He had excellent results when he joined Far East.

"Where?" Bob threw away his cigarette **** and looked in the direction shown by Tom: "You are really a genius, there is something there, but not indigenous, maybe a wolf, or a wild dog, maybe an owl Maybe. "

Bob didn't take it seriously, and Tom's direction was indeed wrong, but it wasn't indigenous, but a wild animal that was common during night duty in the wild.

In the eighteenth century, there were wild crises, wild animals, wild wolves, wild boars, and other large cats. Sometimes, tigers, lions, and other large cats are also common, similar to the undeveloped unknown land of Jurassic Island. Even if there is no unknown creature, in general, as long as the wild animal does not take the initiative to attack the sentry, the sentry cannot fire, because at night, the sound of the gun represents the enemy's situation, unless the sentry is in danger of life, it is not allowed shot.

"Impossible, Bob, there are some people, there must be some people." Tom can be sure that what he saw just now must be people, and there is more than one, but to his disappointment, the camp was not attacked in any way, which made Bao In the next shift, Bob kept laughing at Tom.

Early the next morning, Tom reported to his platoon leader what he found last night.

"Somebody, are you sure?" The platoon leader first determines the authenticity of the message. The sentinel sometimes does read it wrong, but regardless of whether the message is true or false, it must be treated carefully. Think about it. One of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers There are only more than a hundred mercenaries on the island, and you can't be too careful.

"I'm sure there must have been someone outside the camp last night, but they did not attack the camp, maybe it was just a reconnaissance." Tom was very sure, although after the day dawned, Tom who whistled deliberately looked and did not find No trace, but subconscious intuition told Tom that he must have read it correctly last night.

"Well, I'll take you to meet Jimmy. I hope we won't be scolded." The platoon leader didn't dare to care about it.
