Chapter 455: The Civil War Breaks Out!

In November 1860, Republican leader Abraham Lincoln was elected the sixteenth president of the United States, and the Republican Party came to power for the first time.

The Republican Party, a new political party, was founded only six years ago, and this was their first presidential victory, but it also marked 24 consecutive years of the party's rule, and the Republican Party still held the absolute majority in the decades that followed.

After Lincoln, a Republican who advocated the abolition of slavery, was elected president, the Southern slave owners feared that the Union would directly pass a resolution to abolish slavery in the hands of hardline abolitionists, which posed a serious threat to the interests of the Southern plantation owners, and in order to preserve the legitimacy of slavery, the Southern plantation slave owners began to create divisions and launch rebellions.

The southern slave states became independent, withdrew from the Union, proclaimed the "Confederate States of America" in February 1861, made Richmond their capital, and adopted a new constitution and elected Jefferson Hamilton Davis as the new president.

On April 12-14 of the same year, the Confederate Army preemptively captured Sumter Fortress, and the American Civil War broke out.

This is the Civil War as we know it!

On the eve of the outbreak of the war, Zachary Taylor, along with Victor and James, left the Brooklyn estate to join the Confederate army, and thirteen years after the end of the Mexican-American War, once again engaged in a larger, more intense, and longer internal war.

After the three of them left, the manor fell silent in an instant.

With the progress of the times and science and technology, at some key nodes, seize the opportunity, take the lead in occupying some industries with great potential, and gradually expand Chen Mo's business empire.

However, Chen Mo handed over these things to his business team to be responsible, this team originally established in New York has been developed and supplemented for so many years, and it is no longer the original team of dozens of people, but an incomparably large business group, and the one in charge of the overall situation is the core business team that Chen Mo established at the beginning.

In addition to the many large farms and ranches that have gradually developed in various states in the United States, the fur trade in the Missouri and Mississippi valleys and the Rocky Mountains, the mining and smelting of minerals such as coal, steel, and gold, the large factories such as iron and steel mills, machinery manufacturing plants, and shipyards, as well as large financial enterprises such as banks, insurance companies, and financial companies, Chen Mo has also begun to get involved in the military, railway, and petrochemical industries, and has relied on the advantages of foresight and a strong industrial and capital base, which has grown rapidly and become the premier monopoly giant in the industry.

And not long ago, Chen Mo also handed over a sketch of a four-stroke internal combustion engine that looked extremely rudimentary to Tom and asked them to apply for a patent, although there are still more than 20 years before the car is actually launched, and large-scale mass production is the beginning of the 20th century, but many things can be prepared in advance.

Technology, patent reserves, gasoline, rubber, machining and other related supporting industries can gradually begin to develop.

And all this Chen Mo just ordered to go down, and naturally there were subordinates to complete it for him.

Chen Mo himself stayed in the Brooklyn manor with peace of mind, calmed down, and began to sort out his own strength.

In the past, he was either busy planning in the movie world, obtaining various precious items, equipment, technology or skills, or repairing or developing his power in the real world, and he didn't have enough time to calm down, just like in the world of "Captain America", in the Brooklyn Chinese Martial Arts Gym, systematically analyze and sort out all aspects of his strength, and continue to exercise, optimize and improve his own strength in a targeted manner.

Aside from the external forces such as the vibranium shield, the sword of the king, the steel suit, and the vibranium nano combat suit, Chen Mo has always valued his own strength the most.

Chen Mo's own strength can be roughly divided into two aspects, one is the most basic physical fitness, and the other is combat skills and skills.

After experiencing the improvement of the previous film world, Chen Mo's physical fitness has now reached eight times that of ordinary people, and his strength, speed, endurance, cell activity, bone strength, memory, reaction speed and other aspects have reached the level of "inhuman".

This number doesn't seem to be much higher than when he was in the world of "Captain America", but the difference between eight times and six times is not just two times, even if you don't consider the huge improvement of Chen Mo's combat skills, now he can easily kill himself in seconds!

The improvement of physical fitness is not just as simple as the improvement of strength, but the overall improvement of the overall quality of the whole body, and the improvement of strength, speed, endurance, reaction and other aspects are fused together, and the increase effect brought by it is not just as simple as adding up, but an exponential improvement!

If Chen Mo's original strength was 6*6*6, then now, Chen Mo's strength is 8*8*8, and the gap between this is not 6 and 8, but a huge gap between 216 and 512!

Therefore, in fact, every time Chen Mo's physical fitness is doubled, the increase in strength brought about is very huge!

Even from the perspective of the most basic physical data, the improvement of Chen Mo's physical fitness has also made a qualitative leap in his strength performance.

Now Chen Mo has a bench press strength of more than 1,100 kilograms without equipment, and the jump height can easily reach 5 meters on the spot, the horizontal span distance is more than 10 meters, and the sprint jump is several times exceeded.

Chen Mo runs at a speed of up to 30 meters per second, which is equivalent to more than 100 kilometers per second, and can be maintained for a long time, in the case of sprinting at this speed, Chen Mo jumps hard, can easily reach a height of six or seven meters, and spans a distance of more than 30 meters, it looks similar to gliding, just like the peerless light skills in martial arts, and the eaves are not at all a problem.

In addition, Chen Mo's muscles, bone strength, and cell recovery speed are about eight times that of ordinary people, without taking any defensive measures, ordinary pistol bullets can shoot into his superficial muscles, and they will be stuck, and rifle bullets can only break through the defense of muscles, but they can't penetrate hard bones with strength comparable to steel.

Of course, the anti-materiel sniper rifle can still pose a threat to Chen Mo, but the premise is that the bullet can hit Chen Mo.

With Chen Mo's current reaction speed, he can clearly see the trajectory of the bullet, and the reaction and speed of his body can also allow him to react quickly, if he wants to hit Chen Mo, it is not a simple matter, it is estimated that only the covering attack of dense firepower can hit him.
