The silver swords held high exuded an extremely strong killing aura, which made people feel chilly in their hearts.
This painting is obviously made by everyone. Every detail in the painting is extremely vivid, and the atmosphere of fighting and killing is overwhelming.
However, the man couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. How could these obviously powerful knights directly attack the closed castle gate? This was simply committing suicide. No matter how powerful the knights were, they could not directly break through the extremely thick castle gate.
The man's eyes couldn't help but fall on the black-robed knight who was leading the way.
Everyone else was wearing silver armor, but he was the only one wearing an obviously distinctive noble robe with a black background and silver edges. However, his head and limbs seemed to be covered by a layer of black armor, which reflected in the sunlight.
Jet black metallic luster.
What a strange knight!
The long sword he held high in his hand was also slenderer than those of other knights. Although it was not gorgeous, it had a simple and majestic kingly aura.
This obviously extraordinary black-robed knight held up the long sword in his hand. The black horse, which was much taller and more powerful than other horses, was covered with silver-black armor. His long and powerful hooves were moving, and he was one day ahead of the knight behind him.
He cut off and rushed towards the castle gate.
In the artist's painting, what is revealed about the black-robed knight and the entire knighthood is not tragic and desolate, but sharp and victorious!
The knight in black robe has an unstoppable and powerful aura. It seems that as long as the long sword held high in his hand falls, he can split the city gate with one sword and lead the knights behind him to rush into the castle!
Moreover, the whole oil painting is really incomparable, as if it is not the artist’s imagination, but something that really happened.
All this sounds very long, but in fact it was just a flash of thought. Only a few seconds passed from when the man opened the door and entered the room.
The man who was attracted by this realistic yet weird oil painting quickly remembered his purpose, quickly put aside his doubts, gathered his thoughts, and looked below the oil painting, where he was sitting behind a solid wood desk.
young people.
The man who was over forty years old did not feel indifferent because of Chen Mo's youth. Instead, he bowed to Chen Mo with great reverence and solemnity and said respectfully.
"Sir, it's an honor to be received by you!"
Seeing the man's performance, Chen Mo was quite satisfied. He nodded lightly and spoke slowly and unhurriedly.
"Sit down!"
"Thank you, sir!"
After the man bent down to thank him again, he walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down.
“What’s going on on the Republican side?”
Chen Mo was the first to speak and asked casually.
"Sir, after these two years of development, our Republican Party is no longer weaker than the Democratic Party and has completely gained a firm foothold in Congress."
Chen Mo felt the restlessness in the other party's heart, and combined with the current political situation in the United States, he quickly understood his purpose this time.
"So, you want to compete with the Democratic Party for the presidential candidate this time?"
Although Chen Mo's words were filled with doubts, his tone was extremely sure.
Seeing that Chen Mo revealed what he was thinking, the man was surprised, but he still nodded and said.
"Yes, sir! We are now fully capable of competing with the Democratic Party!"
Looking at the tall and thin man with a confident face in front of him, Chen Mo shook his head gently.
"Lincoln, do you think slavery can be abolished peacefully?"
That's right, the tall and thin man sitting in Chen Mo's study at this time is the leader of the newly formed Republican Party, Chen Mo's spokesperson, and the future greatest president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln!
Hearing Chen Mo's question, Lincoln answered directly without any hesitation.
"Of course it's impossible. You once said that slavery is the economic basis for the survival of southern plantations, and it is impossible for those southern slave owners to give up their fundamental interests!"
Chen Mo nodded lightly. This was a fact that he had clearly conveyed to them a long time ago, and it had already been accepted by everyone. No one in the Republican Party now wants to peacefully resolve the issue of slavery.
"So do you think the people across the country are ready for war now?"
Chen Mo raised his head and looked into Lincoln's eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"this?"
Lincoln's original confidence was stopped by Chen Mo's words. Under Chen Mo's sharp eyes, he suddenly began to doubt whether his original idea was correct.
Moreover, he had not looked at Chen Mo carefully out of respect before. When he met Chen Mo's eyes, Lincoln suddenly realized that the young capitalist sitting in front of him actually had a pair of eyes that were so profound that he seemed to see through people's hearts and contained infinite wisdom.
's dark eyes.
Under the gaze of these eyes, Lincoln felt that all his thoughts seemed to be invisible. No wonder he was able to express his thoughts in one word.
After finally breaking free from Chen Mo's eyes, Lincoln listened to Chen Mo continue.
"We have indeed gained a firm foothold in Congress now, and we are effectively representing the interests of northern industrial and commercial owners and western farmers and ranchers, but the votes are in the hands of all citizens!"
Chen Mo's words made Abraham Lincoln's eyes tremble.
"Our attitude towards slavery has always been very resolute. If people from our party are successfully elected, they will definitely take tough measures on the issue of slavery, and the Civil War may break out at any time."
"This is not what ordinary people want to see!"
Before Lincoln could speak, Chen Mo added another sentence.
"At least not now!"
Having said this, Chen Mo paused for a moment, glanced at Lincoln, who had a thoughtful expression on his face, and continued.
"The Democratic Party's campaign platform has been announced. They promised people from all walks of life to maintain economic prosperity and order and stability, called on the North and the South to unite to maintain the unity of the country, and repeatedly emphasized that the victory of the Republican Party will mean the disintegration of the Union."
“Do you think the Republican Party with its radical anti-slavery platform could win?”
After listening to Chen Mo's words, Abraham Lincoln's expression turned serious. He raised his head and looked at Chen Mo and asked in a heavy voice.
"Sir, is our program wrong?"
Chen Mo shook his head gently.
"Our program is not wrong, but the timing is wrong. The domestic situation is not yet fully mature, the dangers of slavery have not yet been deeply understood by the majority of civilians, and the people are not yet ready for war."
"This is like a pustule on the body. Don't rush to open it before it swells up completely. Wait patiently. When the time is fully ripe, it will naturally burst and drain out all the bad things!
