Panama City and the town of Colón have a total population of 51,200, accounting for more than 90% of the population of the entire Panamanian region, and the rest are mostly plantations and agricultural people in the countryside.

As a result, Panama has the highest percentage of urban population in the world, much higher than the proportion of urban population in the United Kingdom.

This is because of its unique geographical advantages, Panama has been a land transportation hub across the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean since the Spanish colonial period, and a large number of people and goods are transferred every year, which has created the prosperity of Panama City and Colón Town, but also caused the phenomenon of unusually high population in local towns.

It is precisely because of this special social structure that the upper echelons of the city council, led by Mayor Cecil Rodrio, have a high say in the ownership of the Panama region.

After being provoked by Brigadier General Pan Hengchen, Mayor Cecil Rodrio and a group of senior members of the Panamanian City Council frequently traveled back and forth to the naval base to bargain over some details.

End of June

The two sides finally reached an agreement, and the Tang Kingdom took out a total of 8 noble titles and fiefdoms with one count, two viscounts, and five barons, in exchange for Panama's formal secession from the Republic of New Granada and an official declaration in the arms of the Tang Kingdom.

July 7, 1849

The mission, with Count Juan Carlos, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Kingdom, as a special envoy, arrived in Panama City to witness the official statement of withdrawal from the Republic of New Granada read out in public by Mayor Cecil Rodrio.

Immediately, Mayor Cecil Rodrio and a group of senior city council representatives of the Panamanian people took the oath to join the Tang Kingdom as one of the provinces.

During the celebration ceremony

Count Juan Carlos personally read the king's edict, conferring the title of Brigadier General Pan Hengchen as Count of the Kingdom, enjoying fiefdoms and family coats of arms, which have been passed down from generation to generation.

Cecil Rodrio was crowned Count of the Kingdom, enjoying a fief and a family crest, and he continued to serve as mayor of Panama for generations.

Divided into meritorious naval officers, several high-ranking members of the Panama City Council were nobles of the kingdom, and encouraged all the monarchs to join hands and work together to build a prosperous Tang Kingdom.

At this point, Panama City was transformed into a sea of joy, with people singing and dancing, dragon and lion dances to celebrate the occasion, and only the Americans of Panama Railroad were depressed.

In a fine three-storey baroque building

William White, director and general manager of Panama Railways, with a hooked nose, poured a large glass of gin into his stomach with his mouth open, feeling the burning of the liquor from his throat to his stomach, and slammed the glass on the table.

The delicate glass shattered instantly, and the sharp glass ballast cut through William White's fingers, and blood flowed out immediately.

"William, your hand is broken." Duffy-Lewis, who was in the office, frowned and reminded.

He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Panama Railroad Company, but is not involved in specific operations, and is a large slave owner and cotton plantation owner in the southern state of Zuozhia.

There were two other people in the office, but they were all employees of the railway company, and they didn't dare to say anything when they saw this.

"Leave it alone, maybe a little injury will make me feel better." William White took the white handkerchief handed by his subordinate staff, hastily bandaged the wound on his hand, then stood up irritably, pointed to the crowd singing and dancing outside the window;

"Look at these idiots, I don't know what to be happy about being betrayed?

I really can't believe that the Tang Kingdom has reached out to Central America, and our federal government has done nothing, pretending to be deaf and letting it go.

What happened to President Taylor?

Is he still the brave general we know to have led his army into Mexico City?

What about the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine of the Founding Fathers?

Should the Orientals be allowed to run amok in Central America?

God, I'm really going crazy, is the world changing too fast, or I can't understand it?

How could the American cowboy, who has always been proud, be afraid of the Tang Kingdom like a snake and scorpion?

I'm going to pay for an army to sweep these shit Orientals out of Panama, and the Bogotá government pretending to be deaf and dumb, all those idiots deserve hell, a bunch of filthy shit, Farke......"

It can be seen that William White has become angry, and the Tang Kingdom's full-scale invasion of Panama and the adoption of this region as one of its own provinces has really stimulated him.

It's not that William-White is righteous, but because the Tang Kingdom is not a simple character, and will never let the land bridge connecting the two oceans be in the hands of the Americans, and sooner or later it will intervene and take away this lucrative business.

This undoubtedly hurt the interests of the Panama Railroad Company in the United States, and also hurt William White, and it is no wonder that he was so angry.

"Calm William, yelling won't solve anything, and the Orientals are not interested in it and will not be intimidated by you, their courage and skill are tougher than we think, and their appetite is greater, maybe quitting at the right time is not the worst idea."

"What are you talking about...... How is this possible? ”

"Everything is possible, in fact, the Tang Kingdom is a tough and difficult player to deal with, not these weak Central Americans can be compared, it is impossible for us to play with it at will." Duffy-Lewis shrugged helplessly, his eyes looking calm and wise.

His wealth consisted mainly of a vast cotton plantation in Zodia, and 647 black slaves, and his investment in the Panama Railroad was a business, and even if he lost it, it was not to the point of breaking his bones.

For this, I can't make a hard bar with the Tang Kingdom.

With a glint of anger in his eyes, William White forced a look at Duffy Lewis and said; "Look...... Before the battle began, there were already people who were going to be cowards, and our evasion would only make the Easterners more greedy, and they would leave us with no bones left. ”

"Don't say it so ugly, it's just a business, and the price given by the Oriental is not bad, but the profit is a little less."

"Why should I give up my business? The monopoly of the Panama Railroad can be done for 100 years or more, you won't get a better business anywhere else, and I will never back down, I must fight to the end. ”

"William, as you say, I can sell cotton for 100 years, and make enough money for me to enjoy the life of high society, and I can maintain good relations with the Orientals, and buy from them the copper ore, silk, porcelain, and tea we want, and maybe get a title of nobility."

"Don't be delusional, man, the Easterners will just throw you into a white labor camp and toil until you die, building bridges, roads and cities for them, and not even an Indian woman will let you play, they are all devils and infidels who are sucking the marrow of the marrow, I said that."

"It's a good thing you're not God, but just a bombastic maniac." Duffy-Lewis sneered, got up, walked to the door, took off his top hat and put it on his head, and turned back to speak; "I think the offer of the Oriental is good, and the shares of the Panama Railway will be transferred to them, and as for you to do whatever you want, just let go and do it. I don't know where any mercenaries can defeat the army of the Tang Kingdom, it's ridiculous, but I sincerely wish you success. ”

When he was done, he politely made a hat salute, opened the door and left, leaving only William White's face blue and red with anger, as if he had opened a dye shop.

If you don't blow it up, William White is just the king of the cannonball, let him organize a mercenary army to attack the naval base of the Tang Kingdom, not to mention whether he has that kind of financial resources, first of all, the courage is not enough.

Capitalists are all businessmen who drag their families with their mouths, and it is okay to let them wave their flags and shout in the world of public opinion, and they are more instigated than one by one when they really go to the battlefield, and they are very desperate.

The price offered by the Tang Kingdom is 3.4 million US dollars, which is 40% more than the money invested by the Panama Railroad Company of the United States, which should be said to be very sincere.

After the opening of the Panama Railway Company, due to the rapid rise of the Tang Kingdom, the materials and personnel transported by the Panama Railway were dozens of times that of the same period in the original history, and they made a lot of money.

The 76-kilometer-long railway easily made a huge profit of nearly one million dollars in a year.

Such a good business that is almost making money every day, let alone 3.4 million US dollars, even if it doubles, I don't want to sell it!

The scarcity and uniqueness of the Panamanian Railway, as well as the nature of the land bridge across the two oceans, inherently determined that it could not be measured by equal value.

As William White said, you can do it for 100 years or more, and of course you can't let it go!

"Alright, all right, go out and let me be alone, God! How can you be such an idiot? William White took out a nameless fire on his subordinates, drove them all out, and then sat down in a chair with a cloudy face.

After considering Duffy Lewis's words, and after deep thought, he had to admit that the old fox had a point.

Those people in the Tang Kingdom are not good at stubble, and it is definitely not possible to work hard.

Not to mention anything else, you will be hanged directly on the charge of fornicating with pirates, confiscating all property and stocks, which is drizzle, and completely doing this kind of spicy and black thing.

Are the more than 300 pirates hanged at the naval base all pirates?

I'm afraid not

Among them, there are also some white family principals who strongly oppose the Tang Kingdom, and I don't know whether they have fornicated with pirates, but it is true that those wolf-like soldiers confiscated property, and it is also true that they killed people.

In these years, Panama is thousands of miles away from the United States, coupled with the lack of information and information, those Orientals in the Tang Kingdom want to do the black, and when those friends in the US Federal House know, I am afraid that even the daylily will be cold.

It's definitely not okay to do it hard, it's too dangerous.
