"I really miss the high-speed trains and planes before crossing. It actually takes 3 days to take a boat from Edmond to Washington! If the laboratory is to speed up the research on the miniaturization of internal combustion engines, at least it will be faster than this to build a car!"

Internal combustion engine ships are still being built in the shipyard. Lin Feng can only take a steam ship to Meili Jian. He does not want to experience a steam train. It is not only noisy but also dirty.

Spend a grand Christmas with concubines and children at Lin's Manor Later, Lin Feng took Lin Shuhao and Lin Yuanfeng to Meilijian, and the old guys from the Shenwu Guard rushed to accompany them.

After arriving at Meilijian, the group split into two groups. Lin Yuanfeng was responsible for inspecting the land that had been purchased in various places. If the surrounding land was still If there are any that are idle, he will buy them in large quantities.

This time Lin Yuanfeng personally experienced the feeling of spending money like water. For a financial controller who usually spends millions of pounds with a single stroke of his pen, he spent a lot of pounds with his own hands. , buying huge amounts of land in New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, Philadelphia and other places seems to be very enjoyable.

Due to the continued turmoil in the country, land has become cheaper and cheaper. There is no one to compete with Lin Yuanfeng, and the Shenwu Guards who protect him are all idle. There was nothing to do.

What he saw along the way to Meili Jian allowed Lin Feng to fully understand Meili Jian in this era. No matter how detailed the intelligence was, it was nothing compared to a trip by himself.

The abolition of slavery has never been a political demand, but a matter of northern industrial factories and mines. To meet the demand for manpower, they need to liberate the slaves who are trapped in farms and good pastures and engage in low-efficiency agriculture and animal husbandry, and enrich them into manufacturing, textiles, metallurgical and mineral industries, etc., to engage in more efficient industrial production.

Dark-skinned slaves The handcuffs and shackles were taken off in the free states, but they did not gain true freedom or equal rights, and there are still remnants of black-skinned slaves in the free states.

Those black-skinned slaves who came out of the farms and ranches, They will also be treated differently in cities in free states. All public facilities and various service and entertainment venues will be strictly divided and marked with areas where dark-skinned people can enter. If someone mistakenly enters an area where they are prohibited from entering, they will be punished. Arrested by the police.

The most ridiculous thing is that in some places, even bathhouses, toilets, and roads are divided into black and white areas, separated by tall and strong railings or cement walls.

White residential areas are much stricter, and dark skinned people dare not walk If you go in, you may be killed by the residents who rush out at any time.

It is so difficult for dark-skinned people in free states. It is hard to imagine how miserable life is in slave states. Human beings have such huge racial prejudices against different skin colors. Lin Feng realized again In the future, when a mutation wave of mutants comes and mutants appear on a large scale, the discrimination and even hatred they face in human society may be a hundred times greater than color discrimination.

Even though he has already made a lot of preparations for this terrible future, he is trying his best to improve Lin's He still feels that the family's economic strength, the expansion of the family's political influence and military strength are not enough. The Lin family is not strong enough, the status is not high enough, and the influence is not huge enough.

Lin Feng not only wants the Lin family in the future, We must have enough political influence to speak out for mutants, have enough military power to protect them, and have enough personal strength to lead and restrain them.

……

As the 16th President of America who had just taken office not long ago, Abraham Lin* was a mature politician with great courage and skill. Although he was born in a civilian family and had many hardships in life and work, these all made him successful.

Everyone who has come into contact with Abraham Lin* praises him as an extremely charismatic and leadership person.

Those industrial and mine owners provided large sums of money to support his candidacy for president. Of course, it was out of their own interests and they were also moved by the words he shouted during the campaign to make the United States a great free democratic country.

This Mr. President, who came from a poor background, was like a tornado from the beginning of the campaign, destroying all his competitors. With the strong support of everyone, he sat on the highest throne of power in the United States.

To the surprise of the guards, Mr. President was waiting anxiously at the door, ignoring the falling snowflakes in the sky and not afraid of the severe cold that turned water into ice.

What kind of big shot is it that Meili Jian, the leader of the group, needs to personally greet him?

Not only the guards were confused, but also the think tanks in the White Palace didn't understand.

This is the first time that the President has refused to accompany them to receive, no, to welcome an unknown visitor.

Abraham Lin* paced uneasily. The person he was asked to greet personally was strongly recommended to him by the Holden family, claiming that if war broke out, the Lin family was the only one who could help him quickly defeat the southern slave owners' army.

According to the information he sent out FBI agents to investigate, the Lin family has only been established for 15 years, but has already purchased a large number of farms, ranches, factories, military factories, shipyards, trading companies, banks, etc. in the thirteen provinces and regions of Ghana. Industry, the output value contributed by their family's assets alone accounts for one-third of Ghana's total output value.

What is even more admirable and even frightening is that Ghana became an autonomous territory and was successfully established under the promotion of this family. From the federal government to provincial and municipal governments, the heads of any important power departments have taken refuge in the Lin family.

It is not modest to say that if the Lin family stomps its feet, the whole political, business and military circles of Ghana will be shaken, and countless people will be so frightened that they cannot sleep.

First Lady Mary Todd Lyng* walked out of the white palace where she was busy preparing for a banquet. A dozen maids wearing black long skirts, white half-hats, and white aprons around their waists were nervously preparing drinks and food. People noticed that there were several strange tall and thin maids among them.

"The guests haven’t come yet?"

Mrs. Mary gently hugged Mr. President's arm and followed his gaze to the end of the road.

She was a wealthy daughter who was born a banker. Her good upbringing made her a gentle and virtuous woman.

In terms of family background, Mary Much better than her husband, there were many wealthy and powerful children pursuing her when she was young. It is really hard to imagine how Abraham Lin*, a poor boy who was still studying law on his own while working, defeated many powerful children and allowed this wealthy daughter to accompany him to start a business from scratch. Staying in the White Palace till now

"Oh Mary, you shouldn't come out, it's too cold outside!"

Mr. President held his wife's baby in his arms and used his body temperature to drive away the cold on his slender palms.

"The telegram sent by Mr. Lin said that it would arrive this evening. Maybe it was delayed because of the ice on the road."

"Is it someone recommended by the Holden family? You really put your hope in the hands of a stranger. This is not the Abraham I know!"

Mary leaned her head on her husband's shoulder and sighed strangely.

Mr. President smiled softly, lowered his head and said to his wife

"No! I just prepare for the worst, multiple friends are always good!"

Mary nodded. She wanted to go back to see how the banquet was being prepared. Since her husband valued the guests, she had to help her husband win over the guests.

Returning to the warm white palace from outside, she looked at the people rushing back and forth. The maid, vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what was wrong.

At nine o'clock in the evening, a group of mighty knights galloped over and stopped in front of the white palace.

Lin Feng turned over and dismounted, looking at the same white as he remembered before traveling. palace, god���A little dazed.

This is the political center of Meili Jian. Countless policies and orders that affect the entire world are issued from here. The orders for Meili Jian become increasingly powerful, creating a hegemony that no one can shake.

However, the White Palace at this time belonged to Abraham Lin*, and he had not yet reached the invincible era when he could command the world not to disobey him.

Lin Feng smiled inexplicably and motioned to the housekeeper Lin Shuhao to negotiate with the guards.

Before the guards came in to announce, the tall President had already seen the long-awaited distinguished guests and strode to the door.

"Dear Mr. Lin, I have to say that I never thought that you are younger than Jimmy said!"

Abraham Lin* stretched out his big hand and praised enthusiastically.

Lin Feng shook his hand gently and said lightly

"Mr. President, I've known you for a long time, and to be honest, I didn't expect you to be so... affable."

After a few words of greeting, Mr. President took Lin Feng's hand and walked side by side towards the White Palace.

Before crossing, Lin Feng had only seen his photo. At that time, he didn't believe that this man was 193cm tall. Now that we walked together, he realized that if it weren't for After seclusion, my height grew again, and I was a little shorter than him.
