Although Chen Mo was in the steel suit, he still sensed John Jacob Astor's small movements, knowing that he thought he was dreaming just now.
With a disdainful smile in his heart, Chen Mo controlled Jarvis to open the suit.
"Buzz~buzz~ka~ka~"
There was a continuous sound of machine operation and armor opening and closing. Under the astonished gaze of John Jacob Astor, the dark and cold steel suit was like a Transformer deforming. The front armor quickly unfolded to both sides.
The tall and majestic figure inside was revealed!
Chen Mo, who was wearing an exquisite suit, slowly walked out of the opened battle armor. He casually adjusted his wrinkled sleeves. Chen Mo walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down casually. He looked up at the person opposite with a look of horror on his face.
The lustful John Jacob Astor had a smile on his lips, but his voice was extremely cold and he spoke slowly.
"I'm here to thank you for helping me buy so much land, and you also sent me more than ten good horses tonight."
John Jacob Astor was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but looking at Chen Mo's skin color and facial features that were obviously different from those of white people, combined with what Chen Mo just said, a name quickly emerged in his mind.
"It's you!"
John Jacob Astor never imagined that the Chinese businessman who he regarded as stupid and backward would possess such ghost-like abilities, magical steel armor that could change and fly, and easily break through solid armor.
He was shocked by the capabilities of the house.
"Who the hell are you?!"
John Jacob Astor's voice was trembling. Chen Mo at this time was completely different from the Chinese businessman in his impression. Is he a human, a ghost, or an angel sent by God to punish him?
?
Ignoring John Jacob Astor's questions or the random thoughts in his mind, Chen Mo waved his hand and released the dozen gunmen he had just killed not long ago from the space and threw them into the study.
On the ground, more than a dozen corpses were piled into a hill on the ground, which made John Jacob Astor horrified.
How come these corpses appear out of thin air? Is he really an angel? Or a messenger from hell?!
"I have already sent the people who came to help you deliver the horses on their way. Now, it's time to send you to accompany them."
Chen Mo's cold words rang in John Jacob Astor's ears. At the same time, John Jacob Astor also saw a familiar face among the pile of corpses on the ground, with the angry eyes.
Opening his eyes, his face was originally full of ferocious ferocity, but now it was a face of horror. It was not his number one killer, Rex!
…
That night, the luxurious villa of John Jacob Astor, the richest man in the United States, in downtown New York exploded and caught fire. The entire villa was turned into ruins in the explosion. The fire burned extremely fiercely. After the fire brigade arrived, they worked hard
It could not be extinguished for a long time.
Fortunately, the area near John Jacob Astor's mansion was relatively empty and there was no wind that night, so no greater damage was caused.
Several hours passed, and it was almost dawn, and the fire gradually subsided. John Jacob Astor's luxurious villa was completely burned, and even the body was turned into fly ash. The person who caused all this
It was just a heavy high-explosive bomb loaded into the leg armor of the steel suit released by Chen Mo in John Jacob Astor's study.
After the demise of John Jacob Astor, his property was quickly auctioned off, and the large piece of land he had previously purchased at a high price was acquired by Chen Mo at a price much lower than the original price.
After all, those lands were too remote, and no one except Chen Mo was interested there.
Moreover, the fight between Chen Mo and John Jacob Astor for control of the fur trade in the Missouri area had spread quickly with the appearance of the Indian warriors who arrived in Manhattan. John Jacob Astor
After suffering losses in the Missouri area, he turned against Chen Mo and had a hand in his acquisition of these lands.
However, just after he bought all the remaining land near New York City, his villa exploded and caught fire. It almost razed the villa to the ground, the powerful explosion, and the fire that lasted for several hours.
The terrifying intensity of the fire was extinguished, all of which was obviously man-made.
Anyone who is interested can guess that this must have something to do with Chen Mo.
However, there is no surveillance in this era, so all this can only be said to be speculation. There is no evidence to prove that Chen Mo is related to this incident, just like John Jacob Astor dealt with those competitors.
In the United States today, the law is far less powerful than in later generations. Killings and darkness are happening every day. Wealth and power are the foundation for a foothold in this country.
For Chen Mo, John Jacob Astor was just a little adjustment in the long time he would spend in this world. After wearing a steel suit and going out for a drive, testing weapons, and destroying them by the way, Chen Mo
He quickly put it behind him and continued with his arrangements.
Before the four areas of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island were officially assigned to New York City, they merged with Manhattan to form the five boroughs of New York. Chen Mo had already bought it decades in advance.
In addition to Lower Manhattan, all the land in New York, including the now developed New York City area in the southern part of Lower Manhattan and the remaining land in the northern part of Lower Manhattan that is about to be developed, were also purchased by Chen Mo.
Most of it.
At this time, Chen Mo has become the true master of New York in the future.
This will also be his base camp for the next hundred years.
However, Chen Mo's pace of land enclosure did not stop there. New York was just the beginning. After taking nearly all of New York, Chen Mo began his truly crazy land enclosure operation.
From the beginning of the 19th century to the present, through purchasing land from European colonial powers and conducting foreign wars, the United States has successively acquired large areas of territory in the west, including Oklahoma and Texas in the southwest, and Montana in the northwest.
The vast lands of Oklahoma, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
Unlike the eastern region, where the soil is fertile and the climate is suitable, which is suitable for developing agricultural planting and establishing farms, the land in the west is relatively barren and not suitable for growing grains, but it is conducive to the growth of pasture. Moreover, the land in the west is flat and vast, with a vast area and sparsely populated areas.
Very suitable for the development of animal husbandry.
After completing the preliminary layout of the New York area, Chen Mo set his sights on the west.
