The Civil War Erupts!

In November 1860, Republican Party leader Abraham Lincoln was elected as the sixteenth president of the America, marking the first time the Republican Party came to power.

As a relatively new political party, the Republican Party had only been established for six years. This was their first presidential election victory, which also marked the beginning of their 24-year term in power. In the decades that followed, the Republican Party maintained an absolute advantage.

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

The Southern slave states seceded from the Union and in February 1861 declared the formation of the "Confederate States of America," with Richmond as its capital. They drafted a new constitution and elected Jefferson Hamilton Davis as the new president.

From April 12 to 14 of the same year, the Confederate Army launched a preemptive strike and captured Fort Sumter, thus beginning the United States Civil War.

This is the Civil War that we all know!

On the eve of the outbreak of war, Zachary Taylor, Victor, and James left Brooklyn Manor together and joined the Union Army. Thirteen years after the end of the Mexican-American War, they once again plunged into this civil war, which was larger in scale, more intense in battle, and longer in duration.

After the three left, the manor fell silent instantly.

At this point, Chen Mo's initial layout was basically complete. What followed was to develop step by step. With the progress of the times and technology, at some key junctures, he would seize opportunities and take the lead in occupying some industries with great potential, gradually expanding Chen Mo's business empire.

However, Chen Mo entrusted these matters to his business team. This team, which was originally established in New York, has developed and expanded over the years and is no longer the original team of a few dozen people. It has become an extremely large business group, and the core business team that Chen Mo initially established is in charge of the overall situation.

Today, Chen Mo's businesses are vast. In addition to the numerous large farms and ranches that have gradually developed over the years, spread across various states in the United States, the fur trade in Missouri, the Mississippi River Basin and the Rocky Mountains, the mining and smelting of minerals such as coal, steel and gold, large factories such as 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 venture into the military industry, railway and petrochemical industry. With his foresight and strong industrial and financial foundation, he has rapidly grown and become the leading monopoly giant in the industry.

Moreover, not long ago, Chen Mo also handed over a seemingly rudimentary four-stroke internal combustion engine blueprint to Tom, asking them to apply for a patent. Although it would be more than 20 years before automobiles were truly on the market, and mass production would not begin until the early 20th century, many things could be prepared in advance.

With technological and patent reserves, related supporting industries such as gasoline, rubber, and machinery processing can gradually begin to develop.

Chen Mo simply gave the orders, and his subordinates naturally carried them out for him.

Chen Mo himself stayed peacefully in his Brooklyn manor, calming down and beginning to analyze his own strength.

Previously, they were either busy scheming in the movie world to acquire various precious items, equipment, technology, or skills, or they were resting or developing their power in the real world. They simply didn't have enough time to calm down and systematically analyze and organize their various strengths, like they did in the Brooklyn China Martial Arts School in the world of Captain America, and to continuously train, optimize, and improve their strength in a targeted manner.

Putting aside external forces such as the Vibranium Shield, the King's Sword, the Iron Man suit, and the Vibranium Nanotech Combat Suit, Chen Mo has always valued his own strength the most.

Chen Mo's strength can be roughly divided into two aspects: one is his basic physical qualities, and the other is his combat skills and techniques.

Having undergone the enhancements of the previous movie worlds, Chen Mo's physical abilities have now reached eight times that of an ordinary person. His strength, speed, endurance, cell activity, bone strength, memory, reaction speed, and other aspects have all reached a "non-human" level.

This number may not seem like a big increase compared to his time in the Captain America universe, but the difference between eight times and six times is not just a two-fold difference. Even without considering the huge improvement in Chen Mo's combat skills, he could easily kill his former self now!

Improving physical fitness is not simply about increasing strength; it's about a comprehensive improvement in overall physical qualities. The combined effect of improvements in strength, speed, endurance, reaction time, and other aspects is not just additive but exponential!

If Chen Mo's original strength was 6*6*6, then now, Chen Mo's strength is 8*8*8. The difference between these two is not 6 and 8, but a huge difference of 216 and 512!

Therefore, in fact, every time Chen Mo's physical attributes doubled, the resulting increase in strength was enormous!

Even from the most basic physical data perspective, Chen Mo's improved physical fitness has led to a qualitative leap in his performance.

Chen Mo now has a bench press strength of over 1100 kg without equipment, can easily jump 5 meters from a standing position, and can cross over 10 meters horizontally. In a sprint jump, he can do so several times more.

Chen Mo's full-speed running speed reaches 30 meters per second, equivalent to more than 100 kilometers per hour, and he can maintain this speed for a long time. When sprinting at this speed, Chen Mo can easily jump to a height of six or seven meters and cross a distance of more than thirty meters, which looks almost like gliding, just like the peerless Lightness Skill in martial arts novels. Flying over rooftops and scaling walls is a piece of cake for him.

In addition, Chen Mo's muscle and bone strength and cell recovery speed are about eight times that of ordinary people. Without taking any defensive measures, ordinary pistol bullets can barely penetrate his superficial muscles before getting stuck, and rifle bullets can only just break through the muscle defense, but cannot penetrate his hard bones that are as strong as steel.

Of course, anti-materiel sniper rifles can still pose a threat to Chen Mo, but only if the bullets can hit Chen Mo.

With Chen Mo's current reaction speed, he can clearly see the trajectory of the bullet, and his body's reaction and speed also allow him to react quickly. Hitting Chen Mo is not an easy task; it is estimated that only a dense barrage of fire could possibly hit him.
