Now, after experiencing the blood enhancement of the vampire ancestors Marcus and Chen Mo, as well as the enhancement of the improved super soldier serum, Zachary Taylor's appearance has undergone tremendous changes from before.
His original height of less than 1.7 meters has increased to nearly 1.85 meters. His figure has also changed from short and fat to slender and strong. His face is more than 20 years younger than before, and his temperament has also changed a lot.
, become sharper, stronger and more energetic!
Zachary Taylor, who was resurrected from the dead and changed his appearance, could no longer return to the White House. In fact, even if he could, he did not want to return to that dark place full of conspiracies, struggles and calculations.
In this way, Zachary Taylor lived in Chen Mo's Brooklyn Manor and saw all kinds of magic in Chen Mo. Zachary Taylor was also in awe of Chen Mo.
Since he stayed at the manor and planned to participate in the war that was about to break out to conquer half of the United States and completely crush slavery as he said, and to manage the central bank for him in the future, Zachary Taylor also made a correct decision.
mentality, the title of Chen Mo also became "boss"!
Only after joining Chen Mo's command did Zachary Taylor realize how terrifying Chen Mo's strength was!
The entire area around New York, except for the city center of New York, covers more than 700 square kilometers of land, all of which is Chen Mo's territory!
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the land owned by Chen Mo. A large amount of land belongs to Chen Mo in every state in the United States, especially in the western region that is still under development, and almost all high-quality land has been collected by him.
, the total area of land he owns is calculated in units of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
The combined area of these lands even exceeds the total area of a state in the United States!
His small cotton plantation of 3,000 acres, which is only 12 square kilometers, is just a drop in the ocean in front of this huge land. At first, Victor said that Chen Mo's land area was 10,000 times that of his. In fact, he not only
It’s not an exaggeration, it’s an understatement!
Seeing the two tiger fangs exposed at the corner of Victor's mouth, who rarely had the patience to tell him the situation of the land in Chen Mo's hands in detail, Zachary Taylor was angry and at the same time couldn't help but think of the scene when he was bragging in front of the two of them, with a look on his face.
I couldn't help but feel a little feverish. I couldn't compare myself with anyone, but I had to compete with Chen Mo!
And Victor's enthusiastic narration did not end. Now that Zachary Taylor has joined their master, he can be regarded as one of his own, and there is no need to hide many things from him. Remembering that Zachary Taylor was in
When he "provoked" Chen Mo on the way home, Victor decided to tell him all about Chen Mo's strength.
These lands that are unimaginable to ordinary people are only a small part of the wealth in Chen Mo's hands.
Let’s not talk about the oil buried under these lands. After all, the oil industry has not yet begun to develop, but the several large-scale gold mines that have begun to be exploited are already bringing astronomical amounts of wealth every day.
There are countless other coal mines, iron ore and other mineral deposits.
Now that the Industrial Revolution in the northern United States has been basically completed, a large number of mechanized factories using steam engines to power machines have been built. Cotton gins, sewing machines, tractors and steamships have been used on a large scale.
At the same time, the manufacturing of a large number of machines and the use of steam engines also greatly increased the demand for steel and coal. Chen Mo, who had the advantage of foresight, had already occupied a large number of coal and iron ore producing areas and built
There are many large steel plants, machinery manufacturing plants and shipyards.
While many capitalists were rushing to build factories, Chen Mo started directly from the source and intercepted the huge industrial dividends at the upper reaches of the industrial revolution.
In addition, after several years of development, the fur trade in Missouri, Mississippi and the Rocky Mountains has been completely monopolized by the Indian tribes conquered by Chen Mo. The profits generated by the fur trade every year are extremely astonishing.
After these years of development, the number of Indians conquered by the Lakota tribe led by Chief Geronimo has reached tens of thousands. These people still live in the forests and grasslands as before, but their weapons have no longer been used.
Bows and arrows were upgraded to muskets, and living conditions were greatly improved with Chen Mo's help.
Except that every once in a while, a group of heavily armed and powerful Indian warriors would escort carloads of furs to upstate New York, there were no more Indians exposed to the world.
Since the areas where these Indian tribes operate have been completely monopolized by Chen Mo, outsiders cannot enter at all and have no understanding of the conditions and changes inside. Therefore, in the eyes of others, the only Indians Chen Mo has conquered are the original ones.
Weak Indian tribe.
Fur companies with thousands of armed personnel have not attracted the attention and vigilance of the U.S. government. Although these Indian warriors in Chen Mo's hands are tough and have strong individual combat capabilities, they are "sparse in number" and will not arouse the fear of the country.
Not to mention that Chen Mo himself is a powerful capitalist and can be considered a member of the American ruling class.
After donating a huge amount of campaign funds to Zachary Taylor last time, Whig Party leader Henry Clay noticed this wealthy rancher. After learning about the huge land and terrifying financial resources in Chen Mo's hands, especially
Henry Clay was even more delighted when he learned that Chen Mo still owned several large-scale banks.
One of the core goals of the Whig Party led by him is to urge Congress to create a private central bank and implement a commercially oriented monetary policy led by the new central bank. This is what all bankers pursue and is consistent with their interests, so
They are natural allies.
So Henry Clay quickly contacted Chen Mo and wanted to draw him into the Whig Party and become a member of their interest group.
Chen Mo is not very interested in the Whig Party itself. This party controlled by bankers will not exist for too long. Since its founding in 1832, it has only existed in the history of the United States for a total of twenty-five years.
, although they successfully nurtured two presidents, they failed to turn them into "puppets" and achieve the political goals they pursued.
After the "deaths" of President Harrison and President Taylor, the power of the Whig Party has shown signs of decline. Some people in the non-banker camp within the party have gradually discovered some problems, and the leader of the Whig Party, Henry C.
Ly's weak compromise on the slavery issue also disappointed many anti-slavery Whigs.
