Chapter 450: Strange Oil Painting!
The silver long swords held high exuded an incomparably strong killing aura, which made people feel chills when they looked at it.
This painting is obviously from everyone's hand, and every detail in the picture is depicted extremely vividly, and the spirit of killing is blowing in the face.
However, the man couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, how could these obviously extremely strong knights attack directly towards the closed castle gate, this was simply suicide, no matter how powerful the knight was, he couldn't directly break through the heavy castle gate.
The man's eyes couldn't help but fall on the black-robed knight who took the lead.
The others were all dressed in silver armor, except for him, who wore a distinctly distinctive aristocratic robe with silver trim on a black background, though his head and limbs also seemed to be covered in a layer of black armor, reflecting a pitch-black metallic sheen in the sunlight.
What a strange knight!
The long sword he held high in his hand was also more slender than that of other knights, although it was not gorgeous, but it had a simple and atmospheric royal atmosphere.
This obviously very extraordinary black-robed knight held the long sword in his hand, and the black war horse, which was far taller and stronger than the other war horses, was draped in silver-black armor under his crotch, and his slender and powerful four hooves moved, leading the knights behind him by a large margin, and rushed towards the castle gate.
Under the painter's pen, the black-robed knight and the entire knight group reveal not tragedy and sadness, but sharpness and victory!
The black-robed knight has an unstoppable aura of strength, as if as long as the long sword in his hand falls, he can split the city gate with a sword and lead the knights behind him to rush into the castle!
And the whole oil painting is really incredible, it seems that it is not the artist's imagination, but the real thing.
It was a long story, but it was just a flash of thought, and it was only a few seconds since the man opened the door and entered the room.
The man who was attracted by this incomparably real but bizarre oil painting quickly remembered his purpose, quickly put aside the doubts in his heart, gathered his mind, and looked at the young man sitting behind a solid wood desk under the oil painting.
The man, who was over forty years old, did not slack off because of Chen Mo's youth, but bowed to Chen Mo very respectfully and solemnly, and said respectfully.
"Sir, it's an honor to be received from you!"
Looking at the man's performance, Chen Mo was quite satisfied in his heart, nodded lightly, and said slowly without hurrying.
"Sit down!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The man bent down again and thanked him, then walked over to the chair in front of his desk and sat down.
"How's it going on the Republican side?"
Chen Mo was the first to speak and asked casually.
"Sir, after two years of development, the strength of our Republican Party is no weaker than that of the Democratic Party, and it has completely gained a firm foothold in Congress."
Chen Mo felt the restlessness in the other party's heart, and then connected with the current political situation in the United States, he quickly understood his purpose this time.
"So, you want to compete with the Democrats for the presidency this time?"
Although Chen Mo's words were questioning, his tone was extremely affirmative.
Seeing that Chen Mo said what he thought in his heart, although the man was surprised, he still nodded and said.
"Yes, sir! We are now fully capable of confronting the Democrats! ”
Looking at the tall and thin man in front of him with a confident face, Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
"Lincoln, do you say that slavery can be peacefully abolished?"
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 inquiry, Lincoln replied directly without the slightest hesitation.
"Of course not, you once said that slavery was the economic basis on which the southern plantations depended, and it was impossible for those southern slave owners to give up their fundamental interests!"
Chen Mo nodded slightly, this is a fact that he has clearly conveyed to them a long time ago, and it has long been accepted by everyone, and no one in the Republican Party today is no longer delusional about peacefully solving the problem of slavery.
"Do you think that the people of the whole 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, and under Chen Mo's sharp gaze, he suddenly began to doubt whether his original idea was correct.
Moreover, he didn't look at Chen Mo carefully when he was in respect before, and at this time, when he met Chen Mo's gaze, Lincoln suddenly discovered that the young big capitalist sitting in front of him actually had a pair of dark eyes that were incomparably deep, as if they could see through people's hearts, and contained infinite wisdom.
Under the gaze of these eyes, Lincoln only felt that all his thoughts seemed to be hidden, and it was no wonder that he was able to say his thoughts in one mouth.
Finally breaking free from Chen Mo's eyes, Lincoln listened to Chen Mo continue.
"We are now firmly established in Congress and represent the interests of northern business owners and western ranchers, but the votes are in the hands of all citizens!"
Chen Mo's words made Abraham Lincoln's eyes shock.
"Our attitude towards slavery has always been very resolute, and if our party members succeed in being elected, they will inevitably take tough measures on the issue of slavery, and a civil war could break out at any time."
"This is not what ordinary people want to see!"
Without waiting for Lincoln to speak, Chen Mo added.
"At least not now!"
Speaking of this, Chen Mo paused for a moment, glanced at Lincoln with a thoughtful face, and continued.
"The Democratic Party's election platform has been released, and they have 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 preserve the unity of the country, and repeatedly stressed that a Republican victory would mean the dissolution of the Union."
"Do you think the Republican Party, which has a radical anti-slavery platform, will win?"
After listening to Chen Mo's words, Abraham Lincoln's face couldn't help but become solemn, he raised his head to look at Chen Mo, and asked in a heavy voice.
"Sir, is our program wrong?"
Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
"Our program is not wrong, but the timing is not right, the situation in the country is not yet fully mature, the dangers of slavery have not yet been deeply understood by the general public, and the people are not ready for war."
"It's like a pus-filled bag on the body, when it hasn't fully bulged, don't rush to pick it up, wait patiently, and when the time is fully ripe, it will naturally break and expel all those bad things!"
