"Your Majesty, this is some information that we have investigated through public and private channels, and this is about the investigation that your majesty has requested." Jun Ji-hyun brought some information to Wang Guorui.

Wang Guorui looked at the information, then began to look at the information, and then began to compare the map of the Americas. Then this Jun Ji Hyun is serving on the side, and now Kang Tongwei is ready to give birth, so the responsibilities of the office are all for Jun Ji Hyun to be responsible, so Jun Ji Hyun's responsibilities are also very heavy.

"The Panama Canal has been being built by the French since that time, but the French capital has not been able to raise these funds, so it has been transferred to the present. The Panama Canal in the Americas has been in demand for centuries, but it has never been able to be built. The Panama Canal was a problem, and the technology was not enough to build it. But if this canal can be built, the strategic significance is very huge. And this canal can be said to be the seven inches of the Americas. The Americans intend to control the Americas, and if America is a long snake, then this Panama Canal is the seven inches of the snake. If we can jam their seven inches, then the Americans will also be scrapped. Even, if it can be held tightly here, then I am afraid that the radiation influence of the Americans in South America will be greatly reduced in the future. ”

"Americans advocate the Monroe Doctrine and have a strong desire to control the Americas. Although we can't send troops there at the moment, it's enough to stick a nail in the United States, so that it will be difficult for Americans to move whatever they want to do. In particular, to curb their industrial development potential, to cut off their markets, so that we can secure our markets, especially to block American goods. ”

However, Jun Ji-hyun immediately asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you already planning to do something in this Hawaii?" It won't be long before the secret services come up with a plan. Restore that so-called Kingdom of Hawaii. And when the time comes, after the Kingdom of Hawaii is restored, we will garrison there, and they Americans are all dead tigers, what are we afraid of? ”

"Not necessarily, and it doesn't hurt to be more prepared. Although we have Hawaii, we are only trying to contain the Americans militarily, but not economically. Even if we build up garrisons, we won't be able to fight them economically. The Americans have a complete industrial system, and it is unrealistic for us to want to perish, so we cannot attack their industrial system by force. Then we can only choose to stifle their development potential in this economy. Especially in their industry, I provoked the contradiction between their whites and blacks, which can effectively influence their industrial development. But this black man is just making trouble for them politically, but I have to do a lot of preparation, and no one will dislike having a lot of cards in my back hand! ”

"This Panama Canal, do you know the significance of this canal?"

Jun Ji-hyun looked at this Panamanian place. Then, combined with the information gathered, he said, "This canal can be excavated in this place, and then it can be transported by ship directly from the eastern part of the United States, and then it can reach our Asia directly through the canal." This process is much more similar to how they traveled from the eastern United States through the North Atlantic and Atlantic Oceans and then through the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca to reach Asia. And then they traveled a long way, much longer than if they were to go directly from Panama to Asia. It's a third more than that, and you have to go through the colonies of many countries in between, so it's not a little bit more politically risky! ”

Wang Guorui nodded and said, "Yes." If you start from the eastern part of the United States, the Atlantic Ocean and go all the way through the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, not only is the journey very long. It will cause a lot of increase in the cost of sea freight. And on the way from this west, you have to pass through the colonies of many countries. South Africa is British, and Africa is divided among the great powers. When they get to the Strait of Malacca, it is even more risky, because the Strait of Malacca is already controlled by us, and there is nothing to highlight in it on weekdays. But when the critical moment comes, I can block the Strait of Malacca. Even if we have mastered the Strait of Malacca, then we can collect tolls or something, enough to make them miserable. Although Sumatra is currently under the control of the Dutch, the relationship between the Dutch and us is still very good. The whole world knows about it. ”

The Panama Canal is very important, even more so than it was in its history. Wang Guorui occupied the South Seas and controlled the Strait of Malacca, which was a big blow to Westerners. Borneo, the original island of Kalimantan, already has Chinese troops, and although Sumatra is controlled by the Dutch, the whole world knows what the relationship between China and the Netherlands is. Wang Guorui and Queen Wilhelmina even have daughters, and fools know their relationship.

Therefore, the Strait of Malacca is no longer reliable, and although Wang Guorui has not blocked it, it still gives cargo ships to Westerners. But everyone knows that Wang Guorui can block the Strait of Malacca if needed. At present, Western cargo ships are allowed to come over, but China's current industrial base has not been fully cultivated, and many industrial products cannot be produced by themselves, so imports from the West are allowed. But once China can produce those products one day, then Wang Guorui may not completely blockade them, but he can levy tolls on them in the Strait of Malacca. Even in the domestic tariff, it is still raided again, so that if the goods are looted together, no matter how cheap the goods of foreign devils are, the cost will definitely skyrocket.

"In addition to land, resources, civilization, etc., the wealth left to us by our ancestors is also a wealth, that is, population. A large population means a large market demand. The market demand is large, which is of great help to our industrial cultivation. The sense of Western devils began to come to the East, that is, to obtain markets and resources. And we also have to protect our market, in the case that our products can be produced by ourselves, then we must protect our products from being dumped by foreigners' products. In this way, we practice our trade protectionism, so that our industry and science and technology can have enough markets to sell products, and a virtuous circle will be formed as soon as possible. ”

Wang Guorui also roughly understands that later generations of Chinese like to buy foreign goods, and this is also because the technology of foreign devils is advanced, and the cost of production is lower. And Wang Guorui also probably knows the methods of foreign devils, they use scientific and technological means, when China develops a high-grade technology, they also take advantage of the trend to liberate those technologies in the past, and then begin to open up to China. In this way, China has spent a lot of time and energy to research the science and technology, and as a result, there is no market at all in the face of the lower prices of foreigners.

Every time China researches the technology, it cannot be put into the market, and the research cannot obtain market benefits, so it is impossible to even earn back the cost of research. This is also the reason why Chinese companies in later generations are rarely willing to invest in scientific research, because every time the research is done, it will also fall into a state of inability to obtain profits.

"So we can control this Strait of Malacca and customs, and then we can use customs duties and tolls in the Strait of Malacca as a hub, the selling price of industrial products of Westerners in our country. We can protect it to a certain extent, but it is impossible to protect it too strictly, which will make our domestic companies fearless, and it will not be conducive to their investment in scientific research. ”

"Then since the Strait of Malacca is impassable, then Americans and even those Westerners must have some interest in this Panama Canal. After all, we control the Strait of Malacca, which means that their political risk has increased a lot. If the Panama Canal can be opened, then they can communicate through the Panama Canal, so that they can circumvent our control of the Strait of Malacca. Even in the Pacific, there are no great powers, and their political and military risks are much smaller. Even, if necessary, they can transfer troops directly from Europe through the Panama Canal. ”

"Once they build the Panama Canal, then the European army can quickly move troops from this Panama Canal to our Asia. According to our previous strategic plan, we will start from the Strait of Malacca to defend against foreign invasion. And we can use the narrow territory of the Strait of Malacca to intervene, so that they have a large navy, but they will not be able to exert sufficient combat effectiveness. In the Straits of Malacca, they are our live targets. ”

"But once the Panama Canal is opened, the problem will be big! When the time comes, their navy can cover the army units, and once they reach the Pacific Ocean, the huge Pacific Ocean is enough to make our navy exhausted, and it is impossible to effectively know the whereabouts of the other side. In this way, we look everywhere, and we can't find any place to fight, then we will suffer a big loss. So we have to find a way to do something about the Panama Canal, and then we can take precautions. I think I'm afraid some of the British can't sit still anymore. If this Panama Canal is built by foreigners, it will be of great significance politically, economically and militarily, and I am afraid it will be a particularly huge sweet tooth! (To be continued.) )
