The Americans were surprised to hear that the Chinese wanted to take away the power to dig the Panama Canal. They didn't expect Wang Guorui to want to snatch the power of digging the Panama Canal, you must know that they had planned to dig this canal not long ago, but because they had killed too many soldiers in China, they had to come up with this money for compensation, and they embezzled the budget, so the Panama Canal digging plan was also delayed.

They should have been ready to dig according to the contract, but the chance of success is almost zero. Originally, according to the contract, this was a breach of contract, but what if it was breached? The Americans are the hegemon of the Americas, and the United States is the only big and powerful country in the Americas, and other countries have not even been able to complete industrialization, so how can they compete with him? So even if they don't dig it smoothly, that Colombia can't say anything.

But now the problem is that Wang Guorui actually sent people to participate in the seizure of the power to dig the Panama Canal, so that the Americans were angry. Especially Wang Guorui actually stretched his hand here, and then of course they couldn't accept it.

"We absolutely do not allow the Chinese to interfere in our Americas, don't the Chinese know? We have made it clear to the world that we do not interfere in foreign affairs, but foreign countries do not interfere in our affairs. When President Monroe proposed that the Americas were the Americas of our United States, and no one could colonize the Americas, didn't they Europeans agree? Someone said right away.

But they forgot that the Chinese have never recognized their American Monroe Doctrine, and Wang Guorui has never promised them that America is American's! As long as the strength is sufficient, won't the Monroe Doctrine of the Americans also clean them up?

But this American has always been proud, even if they were cleaned up by Wang Guorui in China, they did not give up their so-called pride. Obviously, they still look down on China in their bones. Because a habitual thinking that has been developed is not so easy to eliminate. Even if China has become more and more powerful in later generations, it is still the same in the eyes of these white people. The British still stubbornly think that China is an upstart, and they still look down on China. Even in the later Internet era, there are some idiots who say that it only takes 3,000 people to conquer China.

And even if they are defeated once, they will not be so easy to admit that China has been able to equal them. It's like even one of them became a slave back then. In the eyes of the former master, he still looked down on them, and always found a reason to attack him.

"If I let the Chinese interfere in our Americas, how can we continue to rule the Americas? We can't go on like this, or we're afraid we're going to be really embarrassed. At that time, once the Chinese are allowed to meddle in our Americas, what will the European countries think? Will they make them think that since the Chinese can come to our Americas, will they Europeans be able to come? We must uphold our Monroe Doctrine, or we will certainly face a blow. Therefore, we must drive the Chinese out! ”

In fact, this is also to maintain their so-called Monroe Doctrine. They want to assert their absolute dominance in the Americas, and then they can defend their interests in the future. In fact, the Americas have been regarded by the United States as their territory, and even as their sphere of influence and their colonies, and they rely on the resources of the Americas to achieve development. And relying on the various resources of the Americas to achieve industrialization is also related to their national security. If a powerful country sends its strength to intervene in the Americas, it will pose a huge threat to the stable development of the United States.

The main reason why the US military is so weak is that they have not experienced too many wars, and they have not experienced wars and have no war pressure. Naturally, it is weak. The Americans have no strong enemies in the Americas, and they have no enemies. It can develop smoothly without thinking too much about the games, strife and even wars between major powers. Plus they don't have too many civil wars, and they won't be interfered with by foreign countries. So they grew rapidly, and their armies were weak, but that was because they had no enemies.

They can cut military spending to advance into the technology industry, which will help them develop rapidly. The pressure on their defense is not great. Naturally, you can also relax a lot. If their military defense pressure is very high, they will not be able to develop effectively.

The rapid development of the United States is based on the absence of a powerful foreign enemy. However, once you have to have a strong foreign enemy, you naturally have to consider the issue of national defense. And the issue of national defense will inevitably consider a large number of recruits, once a large number of recruits are recruited. It will inevitably make many people take out of production to become soldiers. Once the population is sent to the army, it will reduce the labor force, and then the surplus labor force will be even more intense.

So this is a link after link, the American army is small and weak, but in exchange for the huge development of the economy and industry. Of course, they know that once they face huge pressure on national defense, they will definitely face a serious slowdown in their development, and in the end, it will inevitably cause huge pressure. So they will never allow the Chinese to interfere in their Americas, so of course they are very repulsive.

"Immediately order the front, we must force that Colombia and tell them that they must not let the Chinese take away the development rights of the Panama Canal!" President McKinley said.

In Colombia, the U.S. minister used all kinds of coercion and inducement against the Colombian president. Then the president of the Conservative Party of Colombia had to compromise, because the Americans were closer to them, the Chinese were far away, and under the thinking that the county officials were not as good as the current management, they had to choose to agree with the Americans.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Envoy, but we can't agree to your terms. We Americans have signed the treaty, so we must abide by the spirit of the contract. The spirit of the contract says that we in the West must abide by it, so we can't break the treaty, do you understand? Said the Colombian president.

Wang Guorui's envoy complained in his heart: "What are you talking about the spirit of the contract now, but how many of the treaties you signed with the Manchu Qing back then were completely abided by the contract?" Aren't the contracts between nations meant to be torn up? The reason why it can't be torn apart is nothing more than a lack of strength. ”

The Colombian president knows that the Americans are closer to their Colombia, and naturally knows very well that the Americans have more influence on the Americas, and the Chinese are separated by a Pacific Ocean and cannot effectively threaten Colombia. So they have now chosen to refuse the Chinese's terms, and instead continue to give the Americans the power to dig this Panama Canal.

Anyway, the Colombian president doesn't think that Wang Guorui can send troops to Colombia, after all, they are separated by a Pacific Ocean, and if Wang Guorui wants to go on an expedition to Colombia, it is impossible. On the one hand, the Chinese cannot attack Colombia, on the other hand, the Americans can influence Colombia at any time, and they naturally choose to support this American.

So they all chose to support the Americans.

"Very well, Mr. President, I hope you don't regret it. You should know that we Chinese are no longer the China of the past, and we China have all stood up again since His Majesty the Emperor expelled the Manchu Tatars. We Chinese will definitely stand tall again in the world in the future, so I hope you don't make a mistake! Wang Guorui said.

The Colombian president is not afraid to say, "Okay, let's wait." I don't believe that you Chinese can reach out to the Americas. ”

Obviously, the Colombian president does not think that China will be able to reach out to the Americas and then influence Colombia. As for whether China will be strong, he really doesn't care. As the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones will stand on top, the British, the French, the Germans, the Russians, the Americans, etc., let them hold on to it. These small countries, that is, to be the fodder for the wall, have no qualifications to interfere in the struggle between the big countries. If these small countries casually interfere in the struggle between the big powers, aren't they looking for death?

For ******** reasons, this Colombia could not have given up on the Americans, but risked offending the Americans to help the Chinese. If he doesn't even have the awareness of this ********, then he really doesn't have to be the president.

"Okay, I'll go first, I hope you can deal with those rebels well!" Wang Guorui's envoy said.

And after Wang Guorui's envoy left, the Colombian president was not at ease. If Wang Guorui's envoy threatened him hard, threatening him what would happen if he didn't agree, he wouldn't be afraid. But Wang Guorui's envoy was very plain, not too threatening, but made him very scared. As the saying goes, in many diplomatic occasions, if you are weak-minded, the more you threaten the enemy. It's like the foreigners often threaten China with war, so that the Manchu rulers will compromise. But in fact, it is not so easy for them to start wars, and most of them are just blackmail, and starting wars is not so simple.

As a politician, he understands this kind of inward-looking situation. But if Wang Guorui's envoy neither scolded nor threatened, but was very bland, he was not at ease. As the saying goes, a dog that bites people doesn't bark, this kind of enemy who doesn't threaten you, but doesn't know how to deal with you behind your back, is actually the most terrible enemy!
