Chapter 869: panama canal

"Your Majesty, this is some information we have investigated through public and private channels. This is about the investigation you requested, Your Majesty. ﹏>_﹎ Bar>`-·-=`--" Jun Zhixian brought some The information is for Wang Guorui.

Wang Guorui looked at the information, then began to look at this information, and then began to compare the maps of the Americas. Then this Jeon Ji-hyun is serving by the side. Kang Tongwei is ready to give birth now, so the responsibilities of the office are all in charge of Jeon Ji-hyun, so Jeon Ji-hyun's responsibilities are also very heavy.

"The French have been preparing for the construction of the Panama Canal since then, but the French capital cannot raise these funds, so they have been continuously transferred until now. The Panama Canal in the Americas has been in demand for centuries, but it has always been There is no way to fix it. The Panama Canal is a difficult problem. The technology back then was not enough to build this canal. But if this canal can be built, the strategic significance is very huge. And this canal, it can be said to be Seven inches of America. The Americans intend to control America, and if America is a long snake, then the Panama Canal is seven inches of the snake. If we can get their seven inches stuck, then the Americans will be useless Even, if we can hold it firmly here, I am afraid that the Americans' radiation influence on South America will be greatly reduced in the future."

"The Americans advocate the Monroe Doctrine and have a strong control over the Americas. Although we are currently unable to send troops there, it is enough to put a nail in the United States, so that the Americans can do whatever they want It is very difficult to move. Especially to curb their industrial development potential and cut off their market, so that we can safely guarantee our market, especially the blockade of American goods. 8﹏>﹍--`··- `-·-`=”

But Jun Ji-hyun immediately asked: "My lord, haven't you already planned to do something in this Hawaii? It won't be long before the Secret Service will also formulate a plan to restore the so-called Kingdom of Hawaii. After the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii, we will There is a garrison there, and the Americans are dead tigers, so what are we afraid of?"

"This is not necessarily the case. It doesn't hurt to make more preparations. Although we have Hawaii. But we only contain the Americans militarily, but we cannot effectively contain them economically. Even if we establish a garrison, it will be impossible. Attack them economically. Americans have a complete industrial system. It is unrealistic for us to want to perish, so we cannot attack their industrial system by force. Then we can only choose to kill their development potential in this economy. Especially It is they who are in the industry. I stir up the contradiction between whites and blacks, which can effectively affect their industrial development. But this black man is just adding chaos to them politically, but I have to do more preparations. No one will I will dislike myself for having too many cards in my back hand!"

"This Panama Canal, do you know the significance of this canal?"

Jun Zhixian looked at this place in Panama, combined the collected information, and said: "This canal can be excavated in this place, and then goods can be directly transported by ships from the eastern United States, and then directly through the canal to reach us. Asia. Compared with this process, they can reach Asia from the east of the United States through the North Atlantic and Atlantic Oceans, and then through the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca. In this way, they have traveled a long distance, which is longer than the direct distance from Panama to Asia. It’s a lot longer. It’s a full third of the distance, and you have to go through the colonies of many countries in the middle, so the political risk is not the slightest!"

Wang Guorui nodded and said: "Yes. ﹎雅>文_8··--`If you start from the eastern part of the United States and go all the way through the Atlantic Ocean and through the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, not only will the distance be very long, but the shipping cost will increase a lot. The way from the west has to pass through the colonies of many countries. South Africa is owned by the British, and Africa is also divided up by major powers. When they reach the Strait of Malacca, it is even more risky, because the Strait of Malacca has been controlled by us. Control, and there is nothing prominent in it on weekdays, but once the critical time comes, I can completely block the Strait of Malacca. Even as long as we control the Strait of Malacca, then we can completely charge tolls or something, which is enough to make them miserable. Although Sumatra is currently The island is controlled by the Dutch, but the relationship between the Dutch and us is known to the whole world."

The Panama Canal is very important. Even more important than the original history. Wang Guorui occupied Nanyang and controlled the Strait of Malacca, which was a big blow to Westerners. Borneo, the former Kalimantan Island, has already stationed Chinese troops, and although Sumatra Island is controlled by the Dutch, what is the relationship between China and the Netherlands. The whole world knows it. Wang Guorui and Queen Wilhelmina even have daughters, and any fool knows the relationship between them.

Therefore, the Strait of Malacca is no longer reliable. Although Wang Guorui has not blocked it, it is still open to Western cargo ships. But everyone knows that Wang Guorui can completely block the Strait of Malacca if needed. At present, Western cargo ships are allowed to come over because China's current industrial base has not been fully cultivated, and many industrial products cannot be produced by itself, so imports from the West are allowed. But once China can produce those products one day, although Wang Guorui may not completely block them, he can collect tolls on them in the Malacca Strait. Even in the case of domestic tariffs, it is still necessary to search again. In this way, if the goods are searched twice together, no matter how cheap the foreign devil's goods are, the cost will definitely skyrocket.

"In addition to land, resources, civilization, etc., the wealth left to us by our ancestors also has another wealth, that is, population. A large population means a large market demand. And a large market demand has a huge impact on our industrial cultivation. Help. Western foreign devils began to come to the East, that is, to obtain markets and resources. And we also need to protect our market. If our products can be produced by ourselves, then we must protect our products from being The products of foreigners are dumped. In this way, we implement our trade protectionism, so that our industry and technology can have enough markets to sell products, and form a virtuous circle as soon as possible.”

Wang Guorui also probably knew that later generations of Chinese people like to buy foreign goods, and this is also because foreign devils have advanced technology and lower production costs. And Wang Guorui probably knew the methods of the foreign devils. They used technological means. When China developed a high-grade technology, they also took advantage of the trend to liberate those technologies in the past, and then began to open up to China. In this way, China has spent a lot of time and energy researching the technology, and as a result, there is no market at all in the face of cheaper prices from foreigners.

Every time China researches the technology, it cannot be put into the market, and after research, it cannot obtain market benefits, so it cannot even earn back the research cost. This is also the reason why Chinese companies in later generations are seldom willing to invest in scientific research, because every time the research is done, they will also fall into a state of being unable to obtain benefits.

"So we can control the Strait of Malacca and customs, and then we can use the tariffs and tolls in the Strait of Malacca as a hub, and the sales price of Western industrial products in our country. We can protect it to a certain extent, but it is impossible to protect it. If it is too strict, it will make our domestic enterprises fearless, and it will not be conducive to their investment in scientific research."

"Since the Strait of Malacca is impassable, Americans and even those Westerners will definitely have some interest in the Panama Canal. After all, we control the Strait of Malacca, which means that their political risks have increased a lot~www. lightnovelpub.net~ If the Panama Canal can be opened, then they can communicate through the Panama Canal, so that they can avoid our control of the Strait of Malacca. Even in the Pacific Ocean, there are no powerful countries, and their political and military risks are also small Even, if necessary, they can transfer troops directly from Europe through the Panama Canal."

"Once they build the Panama Canal, the European army can quickly transfer troops from the Panama Canal to our Asia. According to our previous strategic plan, we will start from the Strait of Malacca to resist the invasion of foreigners. And we The narrow area of ​​the Strait of Malacca can be used to block them, so they have a huge navy, but they cannot exert enough combat power. In the Strait of Malacca, they are our live targets."

"But once the Panama Canal is repaired, the problem will be big! At that time, their navy will be able to cover the troops of the army. Once they reach the Pacific Ocean, the huge Pacific Ocean is enough to exhaust our navy, and we will not be able to effectively know each other. Whereabouts. In this way, we search everywhere, but we can’t find any place to fight. Then we will suffer a lot. So we must find a way to make some articles on this Panama Canal matter, and then we will take good precautions. I think some British people can't sit still anymore. If the Panama Canal is built by foreigners, it will be of great significance both politically, economically and militarily. Boo!" (To be continued.)
