Regarding the transfer of the power to develop the Panama Canal to China, the Colombian president is also thinking about it, and he does not dare to agree to it without authorization. However, the news soon spread and the U.S. minister to Colombia immediately learned about it. After all, the United States is very powerful in the Americas, and there must be American agents in this Colombia, and if they didn't even know about this, the Americans would have been unlucky a long time ago. So after getting the news, they immediately came to question the Colombian president, apparently not wanting to lose the right to develop the Panama Canal.

"Mr. President, you Colombia can't tear up the contract like this, do you still have the spirit of the contract?" The American minister said angrily.

However, Wang Guorui's envoy was not a vegetarian, and said directly: "You Americans want this development right, but when will you develop it?" You have the ability to develop, you have a contract spirit, but you don't seem to have developed it according to the time, right? ”

The American minister immediately retorted: "This is the outbreak of civil war in Colombia itself, and we can't come here!" ”

Of course, this American minister actually has a half-truth for this reason, on the one hand, it is indeed because of the Colombian civil war, and it is not easy for them to come and develop. There is another very important reason, and that is that there is no money. The Americans do not have enough remaining funds to develop this Panama Canal. Originally, they actually had enough funds, but they turned out to be too ambitious and wanted to participate in the war in China to make a profit. As a result, the Chinese did not fight, the British did not fight, the Russians did not fight, and they exclusively hit the Americans. So the Americans are tragic. Only a few dozen of the more than 100,000 soldiers remained, and more than 100,000 people died. It is not good for the Americans not to give bereavement pensions, and it is not good for them not to give some preferential treatment to the families of those who died in the war. So they embezzled the budget that was supposed to be used for the Panama Canal as money to calm domestic sentiment.

So they are actually underfunded themselves, and the Colombian civil war is just an excuse, of course, this excuse is half-truth. If there is a civil war in Colombia, then it is naturally not suitable to develop. But in fact, even if there is no civil war. It is also impossible to have enough budget to develop the canal. However, of course, he is not willing to admit that he lacks internal funds, as long as he puts all the blame on Colombia.

"I wonder if you, the United States, are in financial difficulties and unable to support the development of the Panama Canal?" Wang Guorui's envoy said.

Since Wang Guorui's envoy is here, he naturally has to do some homework. He naturally knew that the right to develop the canal already belonged to the Americans, and since he wanted to get the right to develop the Panama Canal from the Americans, it was naturally impossible to bypass the United States. So he naturally wanted to investigate, and even asked American intelligence officers to help investigate. But he soon learned that the United States was clearly in financial trouble. It could not support such a huge Panama Canal excavation project. Although the Panama Canal is also an infrastructure, the cost of this canal is not comparable to the cost of repairing bridges and roads in China. A canal is almost enough to bring down a country, and this is no joke. The Suez Canal in Egypt has been dug intermittently by successive dynasties, and as a result, it has not been figured out for so many generations. So this can be imagined that the canal is not as easy as building bridges and paving roads, this is a gold-swallowing beast!

The Americans' canal budget was misappropriated, and they, of course, could not get started.

The U.S. envoy saw that Wang Guorui's envoy pointed out his U.S. difficulties so directly. Then he shot back and said, "It seems that you China can also come up with money?" I don't think you're financially good either, are you? ”

"Who said that. If the power to dig the Panama Canal is handed over to us China, our emperor is confident that the first batch of 300 million yuan will be used as the first batch of budget! Our one yuan represents one gram of gold, so 300 million yuan represents 300 million grams of gold. Wang Guorui said.

In fact, where did the envoy of this kingdom get what authorization, what 300 million budget. It's all his upper lip touching his lower lip, casually talking nonsense. Where does Wang Guorui have so much money, Wang Guorui hasn't even figured out the domestic infrastructure, how can he go to build this Panama Canal, his brain hasn't entered the water yet. So this 300 million budget. It's all.

Anyway, the most untrustworthy thing in the world is the words of politicians, and the most untrustworthy among politicians is the words of diplomats. So he is talking nonsense, anyway, Wang Guorui told him, even if it is a lie, he will deceive the power to dig the Panama Canal. As long as the excavation power is in their hands, then they can't say anything. As for the next, he has a way to clean them up.

Of course, Wang Guorui knows that he does not have the financial resources to develop the Panama Canal, after all, this financial resources are not boasted, it is an out-and-out gold-swallowing beast. Wang Guorui has not even done a good job of domestic infrastructure at present, where will he get the money to invest in this Panama Canal? He told the envoy that he could deceive if necessary, and that as long as he got it, it would be fine.

Wang Guorui didn't want to dig the Panama Canal, he actually just wanted to take the power of digging in his own hands. Only in your own hands can you avoid being dug by those foreign devils. This Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and is even related to Wang Guorui's strategic deployment in the East. The current transportation capacity is much stronger than in ancient times, and in many cases it is necessary to look at the whole world, not just the country or a few surrounding countries. Now we need to play a game of chess with the whole world in mind, so that problems can be avoided.

"300 million yuan? 300 million grams of gold? "The Colombian president's eyes lit up.

Wang Guorui's envoy continued to fool and said: "If we start to work, then we can bring many of your local people to work." Aren't there a lot of people here who don't have jobs because of the war? Wouldn't it be great that we could absorb a large surplus of people and then help you stabilize your society? ”

This is actually, and there is no shadow at all. Anyway, when the time comes, you can get this development right in your hands, so you can completely shirk it. When the time comes, those Colombias will really be difficult to ride a tiger, anyway, will they dare to make a fuss against China, which has begun to thrive? When the time comes, Wang Guorui has a way to delay.

Wang Guorui doesn't value the Panama Canal, he knows that even if he wants to develop the Panama Canal, it will be more than ten or twenty years later. But the reason why he wants to get hold of this Panama Canal so quickly is actually nothing more than to prevent this foreign devil from getting this so-called Panama Canal, and then once they control the Panama Canal, it will be very unfavorable to him in the future. Once they came through the Panama Canal, they could bypass the natural dangers of the Strait of Malacca, come directly through the Panama Canal, and then use the British colonies of New Zealand and Australia as a springboard to attack China.

There were no dangerous positions to stop them along the way, and it was entirely based on the navy. And the future kingdom Ruike plans to establish a so-called Hawaiian kingdom in that Hawaii, once the Panama Canal is in the hands of foreigners, then Hawaii is the meat on people's boards, which can be eaten at any time. Wang Guorui is too far away from Hawaii to support effectively. The Panama Canal is almost seven inches in the hands of the United States, and once the Panama Canal is in its hands, it is almost equivalent to cutting off any American influence in the Pacific.

"Let me think about it!" said the President of Colombia.

Wang Guorui's envoy then left the Colombian presidential palace with the American minister, and then looked at each other unpleasantly.

But the American minister immediately threatened: "You have to remember, after all, this is our American place, our United States has absolute influence in the Americas, and you Chinese cannot send soldiers over." You Chinese, it is absolutely impossible to achieve anything in the Americas. ”

"Hehe, although we have not achieved enough, we have more than enough failures!" Wang Guorui's envoy shot back.

The American minister's face turned dark, this is really shameless, he actually said that? This is true, although China has little influence in the Americas, and although it is not enough to achieve things alone, it is absolutely impossible to lose more than anything. Although Wang Guorui is difficult to do alone in the Americas, it is difficult for him to do anything. But if you spoil other people's good deeds, it is definitely "more than ruined". It is much easier to destroy than to build, Wang Guorui just wants to destroy the idea of Westerners to dig this Panama Canal, and he does not want to actually dig it himself.

Wang Guorui knew that he would not be able to dig this canal in a short time, but he also hoped that their good deeds would be ruined, so that their own Europeans could not dig this canal. He didn't want to dig it himself, and if he did, it would be more than worth the loss. So his goal is just to spoil their good deeds, not really to dig it himself.

Therefore, when the American minister heard this, his face was also very dark, which obviously roughly understood the meaning of the Chinese. These foreign ministers still have two brushes, and it is impossible not to know what this Panama Canal means. So he quickly realized this situation, and he immediately returned to the legation to send a telegram to the country asking for instructions, hoping that the country would provide corresponding guidance and political support as soon as possible, and put political pressure on the Republic of Colombia.
