Napoleon Agustin I of Mexico is a little similar to Napoleon, and he is very good at arithmetic, and he has already calculated it in his heart at this time. The original price of an anti-US Navy package is 25.62 million silver yuan, and a nine-percent discount is 23.058 million silver yuan, and you have to spend 46.116 million silver yuan to buy two copies at a time.

And next door to Simon of the Republic of Gran Colombia. Bolívar actually needs this package as well...... Simon. Bolivarianism advocates the creation of an American federation against the Great Powers, and the Great Powers are undoubtedly against Bolivarianism!

Therefore, if Bolívar wants to achieve his ideals to a certain extent, he must have the tools to exclude the interference of the great powers. And Daming's "anti-American package" is undoubtedly Simon. The tools that Bolívar needs. Even if Bolívar only has a "package" in his hand, the British Empire will have to weigh it carefully if it wants to interfere in Bolívar's cause!

After all, the monarchy of the British Empire was once beaten by the Lushun class of the Ming Dynasty, and now there is a package, and the heroes and heroes are all alive, how can the British fight? The dignified Royal Navy of the British Empire, if it can't beat the Ming Navy, if it is beaten by the Navy of Greater Columbia, then there is still a face?

In addition, Greater Mexico and Gran Colombia could form an alliance. In this way, the two countries can come up with a total of three copies...... Or even five anti-American packages! That's five hero-class battleships, five hero-class armored cruisers, ten righteous-class cruisers, and fifteen frigate-class destroyers. With this strength, it is enough to have another elite army and burn white houses!

Thinking of this, Agustin I said to Guo Zhiqian: "In this way, we buy two packages in Mexico, and I will persuade President Bolívar to buy two packages as well...... There are a total of four packages, and you can also give me an eighty-fifty discount, can you do it? ”

Of course it works!

The eighty-fifty discount of the four naval anti-American packages is 87.108 million silver yuan!

It is worthy of being a local tyrant who has a mine at home, and he is proud to make a shot!

However, Guo Zhiqian was still embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "This, this...... Your Majesty, what can you do Simon. Lord of Bolívar? ”

Gustin I smiled and said, "Ambassador Guo, you are Simon's old friend, and you still don't understand his thoughts?" He didn't want the throne at his fingertips, and he wanted to establish a unified and powerful South American federation with all his thoughts. To succeed in establishing such a South American federation, can it be done without a strong navy? The road traffic between those South American countries is rotten, and the flow of people and goods between countries is mainly by sea. Without a strong navy, what does he do to maintain the unity of the South American Federation? And he can't resist the interference and infiltration of the European powers! ”

Not to mention, this Napoleon's fan brother has a point! Zhuge said for the Taoist heart: "Simon in history. Bolivar's prestige is so high, and he has so many followers, that he has reached the point of being the president of several countries. However, his Gran Colombia Republic did not survive in the end, and although the Republic of Peru and the Bolivarian Republic both asked him to be president, they did not merge with Colombia in the end. There are many reasons for this, of course, but the fact that Bolívar does not have a strong navy capable of protecting the sea traffic of South American countries must be an important reason. If he can control the sea routes where big landlords and big capitalists in various countries make money, then those who oppose him will have to think carefully. However, if Bolívar wants to control the sea routes of South American countries, it should not be enough to rely on two anti-American packages, right? After all, he has two oceans of sea to watch! ”

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao interjected: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you and Mr. Bolívar also need a canal connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. With this canal, your navy will be able to move freely between the two oceans, and the economies of Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Bolivarian and Chile will be truly integrated. Economic integration is the most powerful guarantee for national reunification. ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty," Guo Zhiqian immediately took over the conversation, "This Nicaragua Canal must be dug as soon as possible...... With this canal, the provinces of Central America will have their hearts set on Mexico City. ”

"But it costs a lot of money to dig a canal!" Agustin I spread his hands and said, "I only have enough money to buy two anti-American packages, and if you want to build the Nicaragua Canal, you will have to pay hundreds of millions, where is the money?" ”

"Lack of money?" Guo Zhiqian smiled, "Daming can provide a loan...... Not only can you borrow money to build the canal, but you and Bolívar can also get a loan for the money you and Bolivar used to buy warships. ”

"Hundreds of millions!" The Mexican emperor frowned, and he had a worried expression on his face.

I have to say that when the emperor is more concerned about the country's financial problems than when he is a president, he is worried that he will not be able to repay the debts of only a few hundred million.

"A few hundred million is not much," Guo Zhiqian said, "If you are really worried about not being able to pay it back, you will hand over the right to collect the canal to the contractor, and let the contractor collect the fee...... How nice it would be that the Mexican Empire would have a canal between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean without you having a single child!"

"But it's the same as the Suyinshi Canal, right?" The Mexican emperor still has a lot of eyes, and it is not possible to lose sovereignty in order to build a canal.

"No, not so ......much," Guo Zhiqian hurriedly waved his hand, "It's a canal toll right, and it doesn't involve sovereignty, and the Ming Dynasty won't garrison troops in the canal zone, and it won't set up any lease, what are you worried about?"

Your Majesty, you can absolutely rest assured of Daming. We have no ill will towards the Mexican Empire...... We really want to prop up the Mexican Empire to contain the United States! With all due respect, you Mexican Empire and the United States are no match! It is obvious to all how fast the United States has developed in recent years. When they first opened, they had only 800,000 square kilometers of land and 2.8 million people. How many are there now? More than 5 million square kilometers of land, with a population of nearly 20 million!

Moreover, the United States not only has a large land area and a large population, but also has a very rapid industrial development, such as textiles, petroleum, steel, shipbuilding, electric power, coal mining, ...... Everything you should have! In time, how can the future be limited? Now, if we don't contain the United States, I won't say that it will be impossible to eat the Pacific coast of Oregon in the future, but I'm afraid that New Manchuria will be difficult to preserve. And the empty land in the north of your Mexican Empire may not be able to hold it. At that point, the United States will become a Pacific Rim nation! It's hard for me to think about exclusive Pacific sea power!

Therefore, Your Majesty, as long as you agree to accept our help in building the Nicaragua Canal, we will not only help you develop your navy, but also your army. We also have an Army Development Package for Mexico! ”

"But how will Mexico's army develop?" This Mexican Napoleon had a sad face, "The navy can still be bought for money, and the basis of the army is the population!" ”

Guo Zhiqian couldn't answer this question, so he hurriedly gave Zhuge Weidao a look.

"Your Majesty the Emperor," Zhuge Weidao took over the topic, "our Army Staff of the Ming Empire has prepared a 'Texas Samurai Plan' for you, which is a military aid package that includes the sale of weapons and equipment, the dispatch of military advisory groups, the help to train troops, the help to recruit Japanese mercenaries, and the help to recruit and settle Japanese armed immigration groups. ”

"Japanese mercenaries? Japanese armed emigrants? The Mexican Emperor frowned, "Can those little Japanese beat the old Americans?" ”

"Yes!" Zhuge Weidao nodded very affirmatively, "Your Majesty the Emperor, you can not believe me, but please believe in the professional level of our Ming Army Staff, the elites of the Ming Army Staff are the best army staff officers in the world, and they are also the most knowledgeable about the United States and the Japanese...... That's why they learned that only samurai immigrants from Japan could withstand the American immigrant groups in Texas. Only if they resist it, His Majesty the Emperor's army and navy will have room to play! ”
