Chen Mo's Terrifying Strength!

Now, after undergoing blood enhancement from the Progenitor Vampire Marcus and Chen Mo, as well as enhancement with the Improved Super Soldier Serum, Zachary Taylor's appearance has changed dramatically.

He has grown from less than 1.7 meters tall to nearly 1.85 meters, and his figure has changed from short and chubby to tall and strong. His face looks more than 20 years younger than before, and his temperament has changed a lot, becoming more sharp, strong, and full of vigor!

Having been resurrected and drastically changed, Zachary Taylor can no longer return to the White House. In fact, even if he could, he would not want to return to that dark place filled with intrigue, struggle, and scheming.

And so, Zachary Taylor settled in Chen Mo's Brooklyn Manor, witnessing all of Chen Mo's amazing abilities, and he was filled with awe and respect for Chen Mo Taylor.

Now that he had stayed at the manor and planned to participate in the war that was about to break out, which would conquer half of United States and completely destroy slavery, as he had suggested, and to manage the central bank for him in the future, Zachary Taylor also adjusted his mindset and started calling Chen Mo "boss"!

Only after joining Chen Mo's ranks did Zachary Taylor realize just how terrifying Chen Mo's strength truly was!

The entire area surrounding New York, excluding the New York center, spans over 700 square kilometers and is entirely Chen Mo's territory!

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the land Chen Mo owns. Every state in the United States has a large amount of land that belongs to Chen Mo, especially the western region which is still under development. Almost all the high-quality land there has been acquired by him. The total area of land he owns is calculated in tens of thousands of square kilometers.

The combined area of these lands even exceeds the total area of a single United States. state!

His own small cotton plantation of three thousand acres, which was only twelve square kilometers, was but a drop in the ocean compared to this vast land. When Victor said that Chen Mo owned ten thousand times the land area of him, in fact, he not only did not exaggerate, but also underestimated it!

Seeing the two canine teeth peeking out from the corner of Victor's mouth as he patiently explained the situation of the land in Chen Mo's hands, Zachary Taylor was annoyed. At the same time, he couldn't help but recall the scene of him boasting in front of the two of them. His face couldn't help but feel hot. Of all people to compare himself to, why did he have to compare himself to Chen Mo!

Victor's enthusiastic narration was not over yet. Now that Zachary Taylor had joined their master's ranks, he was considered one of their own, and there was no need to hide many things from him. Recalling Zachary Taylor's "provocation" of Chen Mo on his way home, Victor decided that he must tell Chen Mo everything about his strength without revealing a single detail.

These lands, unimaginable to ordinary people, are only a small part of the wealth that Chen Mo controls.

Leaving aside the oil buried beneath these lands, since the oil industry hasn't even started developing yet, the large gold mines that are already in operation are generating astronomical wealth every day.

There are countless other mineral deposits, such as coal and iron ore.

The Industrial Revolution in the northern United States was now largely complete, and mechanized factories using steam engines to power machines were built on a large scale. Cotton gins, sewing machines, tractors, and steamships were widely used.

At the same time, the manufacturing of large quantities of machinery and the use of steam engines greatly increased the demand for steel and coal. Chen Mo, with his foresight, had already taken the lead in occupying large coal and iron ore producing areas and built many large steel plants, machinery manufacturing plants and shipyards.

While many capitalists were rushing to set up factories, Chen Mo went directly to the source, seizing the huge industrial dividends at the very beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

In addition, after several years of development, the fur trade in the Missouri, Mississippi and Rocky Mountains regions has been completely monopolized by the Indian tribes subdued by Chen Mo, and the profits generated by the fur trade each year are extremely astonishing.

Over the years, the number of Native Americans subdued by Chief Geronimo and the Lakota tribe has reached tens of thousands. These people still live in the forests and grasslands as before, except that their weapons have been upgraded from bows and arrows to Musket, and their living conditions have been greatly improved with Chen Mo's assistance.

Apart from the occasional, fully armed and incredibly fierce Native American warrior escorting cartloads of furs to upstate New York, few other Native Americans were exposed to the world.

Since Chen Mo had completely monopolized the areas where these Indian tribes operated, outsiders could not enter at all and had no understanding of the situation or changes inside. Therefore, in the eyes of others, the Native Americans that Chen Mo had subdued were still the same weak Indian tribes from the beginning.

The fur company, with its thousands of armed men, did not attract the attention or vigilance of the United States government. Chen Mo's Native American warriors, though fierce and individually powerful, were "few in number" and would hardly arouse the country's suspicion.

Not to mention that Chen Mo himself is a powerful capitalist and can be considered a member of the United States ruling class.

After donating a huge amount of campaign funds to Zachary Taylor, Whig Party leader Henry Clay took notice of this wealthy rancher. When he learned about the vast land and terrifying wealth Chen Mo controlled, especially when he learned that Chen Mo also owned several sizable banks, Henry Clay was overjoyed.

One of the core objectives of the Whig Party, which he led, was to get Congress to create a private central bank and implement a business-oriented monetary policy led by the new central bank. This was exactly what all bankers were looking for and it was in their interest, so they were natural allies.

Henry Clay quickly contacted Chen Mo, wanting to bring him into the Whig Party and make him a part of their interest group.

Chen Mo wasn't particularly interested in the Whig Party itself. This party, controlled by bankers, wouldn't last much longer. Since its founding in 1832, it had only existed for twenty-five years in United States history. Although it successfully supported two presidents, it failed to turn them into "puppets" and achieve the political goals they pursued.

Following the deaths of Presidents Harrison and Taylor, the Whig Party's power was showing signs of decline. Some members of the non-banking faction within the party gradually discovered some problems, and Whig Party leader Henry Clay's weak compromises on the issue of slavery greatly disappointed many Whig Party who opposed slavery.
