Although Chen Mo was in the Iron Man Armor, he still sensed John Jacob Astor's small movements and knew that he thought he was dreaming just now.
With a disdainful smile in his heart, Chen Mo controlled Jarvis to open the armor.
"Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Ka ~ Ka ~"
The sound of machinery operating and armor opening and closing sounded continuously. Under John Jacob Astor's astonished gaze, the dark and cold Iron Man Armor was like a Transformer, and the front armor quickly unfolded on both sides, revealing the tall and mighty figure inside!
Wearing an exquisite suit, Chen Mo slowly walked out of the battle armor. He casually tidied up his wrinkled sleeves, walked to the chair in front of the desk, and casually sat down. He raised his head to look at John Jacob Astor, whose face was full of shock. A smile hung on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was incomparably cold as he slowly said.
"I'm here to thank you for buying so much land for me and sending me more than a dozen good horses tonight."
John Jacob Astor was taken aback when he heard that. However, when he looked at Chen Mo's skin color and facial features that were obviously different from Caucasians, and connected what Chen Mo had just said, a name quickly appeared in his mind.
"It's you!"
John Jacob Astor never would have thought that the Chinese businessman, who he thought was stupid and backward, would have such a god-like ability. The mysterious metal armor that could transform and fly, and the ability to easily break through a sturdy house, all of these made him feel extremely shocked.
"Who the hell are you?!"
John Jacob Astor's voice trembled. At this time, Chen Mo was completely different from the Chinese businessman in his impression. Is he a human or a ghost, or an angel sent by God to punish him?
Ignoring John Jacob Astor's question and ignoring the wild thoughts in his heart, Chen Mo waved his hand and released a dozen gunmen who had just been killed by him from the space and threw them on the ground of the study. More than a dozen corpses piled up on the ground, making John Jacob Astor terrified.
How did these corpses appear out of thin air? Is he really an angel? Or a messenger of hell?!
"I have already sent the people who came to help you send the horses on their way. Now, it's time to send you to accompany them."
Chen Mo's cold words sounded in John Jacob Astor's ears. At the same time, John Jacob Astor also saw a familiar face in the pile of corpses on the ground. The face that was originally ferocious and ferocious, but at this time, it was his number one assassin, Rex!
…
That night, the richest man in the United States, John Jacob Astor's luxury villa in downtown New York exploded and caught fire. The entire villa was turned into ruins in the explosion... The fire burned burned was so fierce that the fire brigade couldn't extinguish it for a long time after they arrived at the scene..
Fortunately, the area around John Jacob Astor's mansion was relatively empty, and there wasn't much wind that night, so it didn't cause more damage.
Several hours passed, and it was almost dawn before the fire gradually subsided. John Jacob Astor's luxury villa was completely burned, and even the corpses were turned into flying ashes. The cause of all this was a heavy high-explosive bomb loaded in the leg armor of the Iron Man Armor released by Chen Mo in John Jacob Astor's study.
After the destruction of John Jacob Astor, his property was quickly auctioned off. The large piece of land he had bought at a high price was bought by Chen Mo at a price much lower than the original price.
After all, those lands were too remote, and no one was interested in them except Chen Mo.
Moreover, Chen Mo and John Jacob Astor's competition for control of the fur trade in the Missouri area had quickly spread with the appearance of the Indian Warriors who arrived in Manhattan. John Jacob Astor suffered a loss in the Missouri area, so he went against Chen Mo and interfered in his acquisition of these lands.
However, just after he bought all the remaining land near New York City, his villa exploded and caught fire. Looking at the powerful explosion that almost razed the villa to the ground and the terrifying fire that didn't go out for several hours, it was obvious that it was man-made.
People with good intentions can guess that this must have something to do with Chen Mo.
However, there is no surveillance in this era, so all of this can only be said to be speculation. There is no evidence to prove that Chen Mo is related to this incident, just like John Jacob Astor dealt with his competitors in the past.
In today's United States, the law is far less powerful than that of later generations. Killing and darkness are performed every day, and wealth and power are the foundation of a foothold in this country.
For Chen Mo, John Jacob Astor is just a little adjustment in the long time he will spend in his world. After going out for a ride in the Iron Man Armor, testing the weapon, and destroying it by the way, Chen Mo quickly put it behind him and continued his arrangement.
When the four areas of the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island were not officially assigned to New York City and merged with Manhattan to form the five districts of New York, Chen Mo had bought all the land in New York except for Lower Manhattan decades in advance. Even the New York City that has now developed in the south of Lower Manhattan and the remaining land in the north of Lower Manhattan that is about to be developed were bought by Chen Mo.
At this time, Chen Mo has become the real master of New York in the future.
This will also be his base camp for more than a hundred years in the future.
However, Chen Mo's pace of land enclosure did not stop there. New York was just the beginning. After taking down almost all of New York, Chen Mo began his really crazy land enclosure.
Since the beginning of the 19th century, the United States had acquired large territories in the west, including Oklahoma and Texas in the southwest, as well as Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in the northwest, through the purchase of land from various European colonial countries and foreign wars.
Unlike the fertile soil, suitable climate, and suitable for the development of agricultural cultivation and the establishment of farms in the East, the land in the West is relatively barren and not suitable for grain cultivation, but it is conducive to the growth of pasture. Moreover, the land in the West is flat and vast, and the population is sparse, which is very suitable for the development of animal husbandry.
