Chapter 447: Chen Mo's Terrifying Strength!
Now, after experiencing the blood enhancement of the vampire ancestors Marcus and Chen Mo, as well as the enhanced super soldier serum, Zachary Taylor's hungry appearance has changed dramatically.
The original height of less than 1.7 meters has increased to nearly 1.85 meters, and his figure has changed from short and fat to slender and strong, and his face is more than 20 years younger than before, and his temperament has changed a lot, becoming more sharp and strong, and vibrant!
Zachary Taylor, who has come back from the dead and changed in appearance, can 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 intrigue, struggle and calculation.
In this way, Zachary Taylor lived in Chen Mo's Brooklyn Manor and saw Chen Mo's various miracles, and Zachary Taylor was also in awe of Chen Mo.
Now that 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 manage the central bank for him in the future, Zachary Taylor also corrected his mentality, and his title to Chen Mo became "boss"!
After really joining Chen Mo's command, Zachary Taylor knew how terrifying Chen Mo's strength was!
In the entire New York area, except for the center of New York, more than 700 square kilometers of land are all Chen Mo's territory!
And this is only the tip of the iceberg of the land owned by Chen Mo, every state in the United States has a large amount of land belonging to Chen Mo, especially in the western region that is still under development, and almost all the high-quality land has been pocketed by him, and the total area of the land he owns should be calculated in tens of thousands of square kilometers.
Combined, these lands are larger than even the total area of a state in the United States!
His own 3,000 acres, but 12 square kilometers of small cotton plantations in front of this huge land, is just a drop in the ocean, at the beginning Victor said that Chen Mo owned 10,000 times the land area of his, in fact, not only did he not exaggerate, but also said less!
Looking at the two tiger teeth exposed at the corners of Victor's mouth, who was rare to have patience and gave him a detailed account of the land situation in Chen Mo's hands, Zachary Taylor was annoyed at the same time, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he boasted in front of the two of them, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot, he couldn't compare with anyone, he had to compare with Chen Mo!
And Victor's enthusiastic narration is not over, since Zachary Taylor has joined their master's command, it can be regarded as his own person, and there is no need to hide many things from him, remembering Zachary Taylor's "provocation" to Chen Mo on the way home, Victor decided to tell him all about Chen Mo's strength.
These lands that ordinary people could not imagine were only a small part of the wealth in Chen Mo's hands.
Not to mention the oil buried under these lands, after all, the oil industry has not yet begun to develop, but the large gold mines that have begun to be mined today bring astronomical 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 is almost complete, a large number of mechanized factories using steam engines to power machines have been built, and cotton gins, sewing machines, tractors, and steamships have been used on a large scale.
At the same time, the manufacture of a large number of machines and the use of steam engines also greatly strengthened the demand for steel and coal, and Chen Mo, who had the advantage of foresight, had already occupied a large number of coal and iron ore producing areas, and built a number of large iron and steel plants, machinery factories and shipyards.
At a time when many capitalists were vying to set up factories, Chen Mo directly started from the source and intercepted the huge industrial dividends in the upper reaches of the industrial revolution.
In addition, after several years of development, the fur trade in the Missouri, Mississippi and Rocky Mountains regions was completely monopolized by the Indian tribes subdued by Chen Mo, and the profits generated by the fur trade every year were extremely staggering.
After years of development, the number of Indians subdued by the Lakota tribe led by Chief Geronimo has reached tens of thousands, and these people still live in the forests and grasslands as before, but their weapons have been upgraded from bows and arrows to muskets, and their living conditions have also been greatly improved with Chen Mo's funding.
Except for the occasional occasional armed, fierce Indian warrior escorting truckloads of furs to upstate New York, no more Native Americans were exposed.
And because the area where these Indian tribes operate has been completely monopolized by Chen Mo, outsiders can't enter at all, and they don't have any understanding of the situation and changes inside, so in the eyes of others, the Indians that Chen Mo subdued are still only the original weak Indian tribe.
The fur company with thousands of armed personnel has not attracted the attention and vigilance of the US government, and these Indian soldiers in Chen Mo's hands, although they are fierce and individual combat effectiveness, but are "scarce" in number, will not attract the fear of the country.
Not to mention that Chen Mo himself is still a powerful capitalist and can be regarded as a member of the American ruling class.
After donating a huge amount of campaign funds to Zachary Taylor last time, Henry Clay, the leader of the Whig Party, noticed this big rancher with deep pockets, and was even more overjoyed when he learned that Chen Mo had a huge amount of land and terrifying money in his hands, especially when he learned that Chen Mo still had several large banks in his hands.
One of the central goals of the Whig Party led by him was to get Congress to create a private central bank and implement a business-oriented monetary policy led by the new central bank, which was the pursuit of all bankers, and was in line with their interests, so they were natural allies.
So Henry Clay soon took the initiative to contact Chen Mo, wanting to draw him into the Whig Party and become a part of their interest group.
Chen Mo was not very interested in the Whig Party itself, a party controlled by bankers that would not last long, and had only existed for a total of 25 years in the history of the United States since its founding in 1832, and although it succeeded in propping up two presidents, it did not succeed in turning them into "puppets" to achieve their political goals.
After the "death" of President Harrison and President Taylor, the power of the Whig Party has shown signs of decline, and some members of the non-banker camp in the party have gradually discovered some problems, and the weak compromise of Whig leader Henry Clay on the issue of slavery has also disappointed many Whigs who oppose slavery.
