As the largest state in the United States in the future, Alaska is rich in forest and animal resources, rich in mineral resources, rich in gold, silver, coal and other mineral reserves, and in Alaska, there are extremely rich reserves of oil and natural gas.

However, when this land was first bought, no one knew the huge value buried under its land, because it was located in the northernmost part of the American continent and had a bitter cold climate, it was not valued by anyone, and Chen Mo could easily take it down!

As for going directly to Russia, it is simply unrealistic.

The reason why Russia sold Alaska to the United States was not just that the land was useless and that it was as simple as finding someone to sell it.

At that time, the center of power of Tsarist Russia was far away in Eastern Europe, and it was difficult to effectively administer Alaska, while the United States, which was constantly expanding abroad, was very interested in this region, and if Alaska was sold to the United States, it would be better to develop relations and trade with the United States.

On top of that, Alaska is right next to the British colony of Canada.

In the Crimean War of 1853, Tsarist Russia had just suffered a heavy loss at the hands of the Anglo-French army, and was finally defeated, losing a large amount of territory.

Alaska is very close to Siberia, and if the British use it as a springboard to invade Russia, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So they needed a strong force that could stand up to the powerful British and help them hold the eastern barrier.

The United States is a force that can be used to contain Britain.

The United States was originally a British colony, but it achieved armed independence from the rule of the powerful Britain, and the American army and navy were able to compete with Britain, and many achievements were not too much for many countries in Europe.

In the case of Alaska itself, the then Russian tsar also considered it useless.

Alaska is too far away from the Russian mainland, and there is no profit, it is completely a burden to lose money, it is better to sell it to the United States to make some money, and you can also use the United States to block the British threat to the Russian mainland.

Therefore, there are also national strategic considerations for Tsarist Russia to sell Alaska to the United States, and it is completely impossible and unnecessary for Chen Mo to buy Alaska directly from Tsarist Russia.

He does not plan to build a country in this world, in order to prevent affecting the trend of history, these major events involving national territory, wars and other levels, Chen Mo does not plan to change, and when the United States buys Alaska from Tsarist Russia, he will do the same.

Zachary Taylor worked desperately on the battlefield to build a huge new territory for the United States, but these lands were easily pocketed by Chen Mo with a move of his fingers, and what he paid was just some money that he thought was just numbers.

Unbeknownst to Zachary Taylor, the fruits of his victory were "stolen" by Chen Mo, and he quickly entered Kentucky after talking to Victor and James along the way.

Two of these three people don't know how to respect the elderly, and one old doesn't know how to love "young", that's right, although Victor and James look eighteen or nineteen years old, their actual age is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they are not adults at all, so they can naturally be regarded as "young".

The two sides have a lot of arguments around Chen Mo along the way, Zachary Taylor is unwilling to be compared to others and is looked down upon by the two little guys, and Victor and James are even more determined to defend their masters, which is comparable to brainless fans, Chen Mo is simply an omnipotent existence in their hearts.

Zachary Taylor knew that his financial resources could not compare to Chen Mo, so he boasted about other aspects of himself.

He thought that as a general, he was naturally more heroic than a rich man, but he learned that Chen Mo was tall and strong, handsome and majestic.

Zachary Taylor looked down at his short and stocky figure and the farmer-like "big and thick" face in his mind, and couldn't help but regret that he was overconfident, and he shouldn't have mentioned this stubble in the first place.

By contrast, according to Victor and James, their "old man" was more like a general than he was.

Zachary Taylor, who had failed financially and visually, learned from the pain and did not mention it again for several days, but after a few days, he couldn't help but challenge the mysterious "old man" again.

However, with the previous lesson, this time Zachary Taylor did not speak rashly, but planned to test it first, and then give them a fatal blow when he was sure!

Glancing at Victor, who was riding beside him, Zachary Taylor asked casually, pretending to be nothing.

"Victor, how old is your lord?"

Victor didn't take it seriously when he heard this, tilted his head and thought about Chen Mo's young face, and said without looking back.

"You're in your twenties."

Zachary Taylor almost stared out his eyes when he heard this, he thought that the farmer who could own a huge land 10,000 times more than him must be at least forty or fifty years old, combined with the two of them said that he was more powerful than the two of them, then he was younger, how could he be thirty or forty years old, twenty years old? Are you kidding!

However, he also knew that the two would not lie at all, which means that the old man in the mouth of the two, the rich man who owns tens of millions of acres of land, turned out to be a young man in his twenties!

When I was in my twenties, I guess I was an ordinary soldier in the Kentucky militia.

Zachary Taylor rode on his old horse for a long time without saying a word, and finally accepted this fact, but he couldn't help but feel proud again, a young man in his twenties, no matter how powerful he is, must have a lot of things that are not as good as himself, after all, he has not lived in vain for more than 60 years!

Zachary Taylor immediately stopped hiding his purpose and declared war directly on the two small ones!

"Then he certainly doesn't have as many places I've been!"

Zachary Taylor's face was full of pride, and his big head was held high, as if he were going to say something more remarkable.

Victor and James looked at each other when they heard this, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but hook up a smile at the same time, if you want to fight, then fight!

In order to preserve the honor of the Lord, any provocation must be put to an end!

Victor turned his head and looked sharply at Zachary Taylor, seeing that old Taylor's heart sank, and he inexplicably had a bad feeling.

I saw Victor looking at him, with a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know if you're talking about domestic or foreign?"

Zachary Taylor was stunned when he heard this, at home or abroad? Except for this war that reached into Mexico, he has never been abroad!

"When, of course, it is the country, the country!"
