When China was building a lot of construction in China, Wang Guorui's envoys also went to Colombia, and then after a long time, he finally felt Colombia. However, at this time, Colombia happened to be in a state of civil war, and their internal war had been going on for a long time. And the civil war between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party has broken out, and both sides are now fighting each other, and there is no way that neither party can help the other. However, at the moment, both sides are also exhausted and simply cannot effectively defeat the other. The Conservatives could not destroy the Liberals, but the Liberals could not take power. If nothing else, neither of them can beat each other, and both sides are tired, so they naturally want to prepare for peace talks. In any case, war is the continuation of politics, and when political means cannot solve the problem, then war will inevitably occur. But when they find that the means of war cannot defeat each other, then they will also return to the negotiating table again. In fact, in the final analysis, war is no different from gangster fighting, when it can't be negotiated, then it will be quarreled and fought. If they can't beat it, then both sides will discuss how to divide the territory again.

"Honorable President, I don't think you can beat the Liberals now, do you? You're going to be tired now, and you're running out of money, aren't you? I don't think you're going to have enough capital to crack down on the Liberals, so I think we can help you. Our emperor is interested, and can support you with some weapons, so that you have enough weapons, so I think we can suppress those Liberals, right? Those big landlords in your country will not let go of this opportunity! Wang Guorui's envoy said.

The Colombian president thought about it for a while, and Wang Guorui's envoy came over on behalf of Wang Guorui. And they claim to be able to support some weapons so that they can have enough weapons to continue to suppress those Liberals. And this so-called Conservative Party actually represents the interests of those big landowners, and the interests of those big landowners are actually nothing more than a copy of the American Civil War. Because conflicts between industry and plantation are inevitable, especially when industry needs a large number of cheap workers. And those plantations also need cheap labor, so conflicts between the two sides are inevitable.

In fact, in the process of industrialization, China has also been affected by this resistance, and the landlords want to obtain labor at the lowest cost. Therefore, the development of the industrial and commercial industry is vigorously suppressed. Because they vaguely know that once industry and commerce develop, a large amount of labor will be absorbed, and their interests will definitely be damaged.

Of course, there are differences between China and foreign countries, China is dominated by landlord economy, and those foreigners are dominated by plantation economy. However, both of these require a lot of labor resources from comrades-in-arms, so they naturally must have conflicts. The conflict between economic development is irreconcilable. The military is a continuation of politics, and politics is often a continuation of the economy, so the economic base influences politics. Politics once again caused war, so their civil war was inevitable. Even in China, wasn't it after a war that almost forcibly eliminated the landlord class, so that the whole country was concentrated to achieve industrialization? Otherwise, if these landlords are allowed to engage in industrialization, they will not be able to do anything in a hundred years.

Sometimes, though, it's like that, and the ass often decides your head. What class you were born into. That would be bound by this class. This is not something you can change if you want to, it has been able to successfully betray the class since ancient times. That's a hard thing to do!

As for Wang Guorui, although he cracked down on the landlords at home, he would not exclude the landlords from outside. Because the landlords can never achieve industrialization, and history has proved that a country without industrialization will inevitably be a weak country, a country that will be slaughtered by others. Therefore, Wang Guorui attacked the landlord internally, but he did not exclude the landlord from ruling externally, so that he was not afraid of any problems! Anyway, it's not yourself who loses. Just like countries of different ********, can't they also come together because of national interests? What is more typical is that China and the United States in later generations will put national interests first in the final analysis!

"Sir, I want to ask you. We have never had any contact with China, so why do you insist on us? I think that there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason, so I know why you want to help us first? If you don't explain it to me, then we refuse! ”

Wang Guorui's envoy took the initiative to say: "We have taken a fancy to one of yours!" As long as you give us this thing, we can also support your large number of rifles and all kinds of weapons for free, and it is not impossible for you to defeat the so-called Liberal Party. I think you will be in great need of these weapons, and your economic strength is now too weak to sustain such a large war. So, I think we can all use these things to fight wars, and we are a new force for you! ”

The Colombian president began to think about it, and now that their war with the Liberal Party has reached the final stage, it is very obvious that they are now in a very obvious situation, and that is just a test of who can hold out more. In fact, this is often the case, and the war is fought to the end, which often tests the perseverance and resilience of both sides, rather than the real combat effectiveness. The war of this era is completely a war of attrition, and whoever can survive it will be able to win. And the First World War, in fact, both the Entente and the Central Powers were already very miserable, and then they Americans came at this time to become the last straw that crushed the camel. The Americans are too good at looking for opportunities, and their army is not very strong in combat power in that era, but it has the most gains.

"What do you want?" said the President of Colombia.

The Colombian president has planned that if China's conditions are not high, they will also choose to agree, so that in exchange for their own weapons to fight those enemies of the Liberal Party.

"We want the right to develop the Panama Canal." Wang Guorui's envoy said.

"The development power of the Panama Canal?" The Colombian president wondered.

The president of Colombia did not expect Wang Guorui to propose this thing, and this Panama Canal is actually planned to be dug in Colombia, but with their economic strength, it is simply not enough to dig this Panama Canal. In fact, more than 100 years ago, the Spaniards also tried to carry out surveying and mapping, and then planned to dig a canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, so as to separate North America and South America. In this way, there is no need to detour the whole of South America between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the economic benefits and benefits that can be brought by this are absolutely enormous. Although the current economic benefits are not as much as imagined, but in the future, once the trade between Europe and Asia is opened up again, and once the United States wants to export goods to China, then it will definitely face a very important means. Running away less means saving money, and saving money means more profits.

As for war, sometimes saving one minute can affect the outcome of a campaign, and the outcome of a campaign is enough to affect the direction of a war, the success or failure of a war, and the fate of a country and nation. Therefore, any military strategist attaches great importance to time and speed, and the speed of soldiers has been a principle since ancient times. And even in the theory of war, it is mentioned that speed is one of the most important factors in determining combat effectiveness, so once the Panama Canal is built, it will have many benefits.

And once the Panama Canal is completed, European troops will not have to bypass the complicated terrain to reach China from the Strait of Malacca. At that time, the role of China's Nanyang Station Area will obviously be greatly affected, and perhaps the strategic deployment of the Nanyang Theater will also be wiped out. Therefore, the development power of this Panamanian transportation industry must be in the hands of China. If the foreigners control the Panama Canal, it will be very unfavorable to themselves in the future. Therefore, Wang Guorui's right to develop the Panama Canal is inevitable.

When Wang Guorui's envoy said that he wanted the right to develop the Panama Canal, this made the Colombian president fall into deep thought, because the development right of the Panama Canal has actually been transferred, and now they have given the right to develop the Panama Canal to the Americans. If it is given to the Chinese again this time, I am afraid that it will really be "one daughter marrying two husbands".

What's more, he also knows that Chinese are not easy to mess with, although perhaps Western whites generally discriminate against Chinese, but as politicians, they naturally cannot consider such a simple thing. They have to be calm, they have to think more.

If China is offended for the sake of this Panama Canal, will China retaliate next? Of course, they are also afraid of offending the United States, especially the Americans are just around the corner. Although the Americans are not as strong as the Chinese, the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and the Chinese are far away in the sky, even if they send too much power. The Americans are very powerful, at least more powerful than other countries in the Americas.

The fact that the Americans were able to put forward the Monroe Doctrine one by one also shows that they have the strength to have this strength and the strength to absolutely control the Americas. Therefore, the strength of both sides is not weak, although Wang Guorui's China is stronger than the United States, but after all, the distance is farther. But the Americans are closer, which makes them very hesitant.
