My Steel Suit

The power of Chen Mo has again begun a large-scale expansion in the west.

Actually, what James said to Zachary Taylors ten thousand times is still a conservative estimate. Hundred thousand times may be less than hundreds of times, but there are still tens of thousands of times. The whole western part of the country is generally good. It was all taken up by Chen Mo, plus the huge expansion of the southwest part now ceded by Brother Xi in Mexico, hundreds thousand times would only be a matter of time.

Today’s capitalists in the north have focused their attention on “high-end” fields such as industry, real estate, and finance, while the slave owners of the southern plantation plantation are closely guarding their plantations and slaves. Chen Mo takes advantage of this The gap ate all these lands in the west and quickly grew into the largest rancher and big landowner in the United States in just two years.

A large number of people who originally lived here and immigrants from other places flocked to Chen Mo after discovering that joining Chen Mo’s men is much better than digging in the soil.

The people who came to the west during this period were hard-working poor people. As long as they have food and clothing, and the lives of themselves and their families are guaranteed, they will cherish this job very much, whether it is a cowboy, Farmers, or miners, all work diligently and diligently, and Chen Mo is not stingy to give them the generous rewards they deserve.

Chen Mo’s enclosure is not only for enclosure, he also has a deeper purpose, and more than one.

These wild lands in the western United States are vast but sparsely populated. They belong to undeveloped desolate areas. Although they belong to the United States, they are not joined as federal states, but simply The area is divided into several regions. Each of these regions is the size of several other states, but the population is not as large as that of a city in the central and eastern regions.

Although these western regions are desolate and backward, in the future, more than a dozen independent states will be established, and there are strict requirements from region to state.

When these regions were established, the U.S. government issued a written federal decree that stipulated the conditions for establishing states in these regions.

In the beginning, they divided these areas into several independent special zones, which were first assigned by the Confederate Assembly to manage one governor and three administrative officials respectively. As the population of the area increases, another 3 To 5 territories.

When the population of any territorial state increases to 60,000, you can apply to join the federation and enjoy equal rights with the existing states.

In these barren, sparsely populated lands in the west, Chen Mos pasture occupies most of the high-quality land, and is itself the largest population gathering place. With the development of the pasture, more and more people are recruited. In the future, after these regions become federal states, most of the citizens will be Chen Mo employees.

Chen Mo will become the real controller behind these states, and the votes of the governor and even the president will be in his hands!

When the time comes, the entire western United States will become Chen Mo’s “territory”, controlled by Chen Mo behind the scenes, Chen Mo will become the most important lord among the Great Influences in the United States!

The United States itself is a country controlled by capitalists. As a big capitalist, Chen Mo, who controls huge wealth and a large number of votes sufficient to sway the presidential election, will surely become the target of various parties.

Behind each party is the support of a large number of capitalists. These parties represent these capitalists, interests, presidential elections, and party disputes. In fact, they are capitalist struggles!

However, Chen Mo has established large-scale enclosures in the West and even throughout the United States and established pastures not only to control votes. The flourishing period of the fur trade will soon pass. Chen Mo cant just point to his hands. His pastures and land, and just these, still unable to support his power to influence the political situation.

After all, with the continuous development of the west, his impossible ranch will always dominate the west. After all, the number of employees on the ranch is limited. As more and more people come to the west, especially other The arrival of businessmen and capitalists will bring more factories, enterprises and employment opportunities. Although Chen Mo has occupied the best land in the west, he is impossible to enjoy the west alone and not let others in. Development is also unfavorable.

So what Chen Mo has to do is to strengthen his own strength and always firmly occupy the dominant position. No matter how many merchants and capitalists arrive, he cannot shake his dominant position in the west.

To achieve this, pasture alone is not enough.

If all the land that Chen Mo bought in the United States is marked on the map and compared with a future world map of the US oil resources, we can easily find that Chen Mo The vast land owned has already covered more than 80% of the oil producing areas in the United States!

The rest are just small oil fields with small reserves.

In other words, most of the oil resources of the entire United States are buried in the land he bought!

However, oil at this time has not yet begun to be applied on a large scale, oil extraction and distillation processes are primordial and backward, and modern oil wells and refineries have not yet appeared.

Furthermore, the fuel engine that consumes the most oil in the future has not yet been invented, and the coal-fired steam engine is the mechanical power output in the industry.

Without an internal combustion engine, cars have not yet been manufactured, so in this era, the main purpose of petroleum is to extract kerosene using the local method for lighting.

Chen Mo not at all intends to speed up the process of history and allow the oil industry and automobile industry to emerge ahead of time. Therefore, his purchase of oil producing areas is just a precaution, and he bought it together while enclosing the land and building the ranch.

In addition to the oil called black gold, Chen Mo has not forgotten the real gold!

Chen Mo, the gold rush in the United States, has been heard a long time ago, just in time for this era, how could Chen Mo let it go.

Californias San Francisco and Los Angeles and other places have a large amount of gold reserves. When the United States obtained California and other regions from Brother Xi in Mexico and sent the governor and administrative officials, Chen Mo took his The enclosure operation has extended to the past. Who knows that under the vast new pastures, there are a huge number of gold treasures buried!

In fact, Chen Mo has always been thinking about a piece of land, Alaska!

This enclave located in northwestern Canada, across the sea from the mainland of the United States, does not border the United States. It can be said to be a huge treasure.

Today, this huge piece of land is still a colony of Tsarist Russia.

In history, after the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1853, Russia was afraid that the colony of Alaska would be taken away by the British. Someone proposed to sell Alaska to the United States. In April 1867, the two sides sold for 7.2 million US dollars. .
