Regarding the transfer of the power to develop the Panama Canal to China, the President of Colombia is also thinking about it and dare not agree without authorization. However, the news spread quickly, and the U.S. envoy to Colombia immediately learned of the news. After all, the United States is very powerful in the Americas. There must be American agents in this Colombia. If they don't even know about this, the Americans will be out of luck. So after getting the news, they immediately came to question the Colombian president, obviously 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 US minister said angrily.

However, Wang Guorui's special envoy was not a vegetarian either, and said directly: "You Americans want this development right, but when will you develop it? You have the ability to develop it, and you have a contract spirit, but you seem to follow the time. Didn't even come to develop it?"

The American envoy immediately retorted: "This is a civil war broke out in Colombia itself, we can't come here!"

Of course, the US minister’s reasoning is half-true and half-false. On the one hand, it is indeed because of the Colombian civil war that they are not easy to come and develop. There is another very important reason, that is, there is no money. The Americans don't have enough money left over to develop the Panama Canal. In fact, their funds were sufficient, but they turned out to be too ambitious and wanted to participate in the war in China to make a fortune. As a result, the Chinese and the Japanese did not fight, the British did not fight, the Russians did not fight, and only the Americans were beaten. This is a tragedy for the Americans. There are only a few dozen soldiers left in the hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are all dead. It is not good for the Americans not to give pensions, and it is not good not to give some preferential treatment to the families of those who died in war. So they embezzled what was supposed to be the budget for the Panama Canal as funds to stabilize domestic sentiment.

So they actually don't have enough funds themselves, and the Colombian civil war is just an excuse. Of course this excuse is half true. If there is a civil war in Colombia, it is naturally not suitable for development. But in fact, even if there is no civil war, it is impossible to have enough funds and budget to develop this canal. But of course he didn't want to admit to himself that he lacked internal funds. Just put all the blame on Colombia.

"I wonder if you, the United States, have financial difficulties and cannot support the important task of developing the Panama Canal at all?" Wang Guorui's special envoy said.

Since Wang Guorui's special envoy came here, he naturally had to do some homework. He naturally knew that the right to develop the canal already belonged to the Americans, since he wanted to get the right to develop the Panama Canal from the Americans. It is naturally impossible to bypass the United States. So he naturally wanted to investigate, and even asked intelligence personnel in the United States to help investigate. But soon he also knew that the United States obviously had financial problems and could not support such a huge Panama Canal construction project. Although this kind of 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 drag down a country, this is no joke. The Suez Canal in Egypt has been excavated intermittently by successive dynasties, but it has not been clear for so many generations. So it is conceivable that the canal is not as easy as building bridges and paving roads, this is a gold swallowing beast!

The Americans had their canal budget diverted, and of course they couldn't start work.

The American envoy saw that Wang Guorui's special envoy pointed out the difficulties of the United States so directly. Then he countered and said: "It seems that you, China, are able to come up with money? I think your finances are not very good, right?"

"Who said that if we only need to hand over the excavation power of the Panama Canal to China, our emperor is confident that the first budget of 300 million yuan will be used as the first budget! Our one yuan represents one gram of gold, so three 100 million yuan represents 300 million grams of gold." Special Envoy Wang Guorui said.

In fact, where did the Special Envoy of the Kingdom Rui get any authorization, and the 300 million budget, all of which were just casual nonsense from his upper lip touching his lower lip. Where does Wang Guorui have so much money? Wang Guorui has not even figured out the domestic infrastructure, so how could he build the Panama Canal? His brain has not been flooded yet. So this 300 million budget is completely nonsense.

Anyway, the most unbelievable thing in this world is the words of politicians. As for the most untrustworthy among politicians, that is, the words of diplomats. So he was talking nonsense, anyway, Wang Guorui told him that even if it was a lie, he would deceive the right to dig the Panama Canal. As long as the excavation power is in their hands, none of them can say anything. As for the next step, he has plenty of ways to deal with them.

Of course Wang Guorui knows that he does not have the financial resources to develop the Panama Canal. After all, this financial power is not for bragging, it is an out-and-out gold-swallowing beast. Wang Guorui doesn't even have the infrastructure in his country right now, so where will he get the money to invest in the Panama Canal? He told the special envoy that he could be deceived when necessary, anyway, as long as he could be deceived, that would be all right.

It's not that Wang Guorui doesn't want to dig the Panama Canal, he just wants to hold the power of digging in his own hands. Only in your own hands can you avoid being dug by those foreign devils. The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and it is even related to Wang Guorui's strategic deployment in the East. The current transportation capacity is much stronger than that of the past. In many cases, it must be viewed from a global perspective, not just the domestic or surrounding countries. Now it is necessary to play a game of chess around the world, and only by taking the whole world into account can we avoid problems.

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

And Wang Guorui's special envoy continued to fool around and said: "If we start to work, then we can drive many of your local people to find employment. Aren't there many people here who are unemployed because of the war? We can absorb a large number of surplus population, and then we can help you Wouldn’t it be great to stabilize society?”

This is actually nonsense, there is no shadow at all. Anyway, when the time comes to get this development right in hand, then it can be shirked completely. At that time, those Colombians will really be in a difficult situation. Anyway, as a weak country, would they dare to fall out with China, which has begun to flourish? At that time, Wang Guorui will have ways to delay.

It's not that Wang Guorui doesn't value the Panama Canal. He knows that even if he wants to develop the Panama Canal, it will be ten or twenty years away. But the reason why he wanted to get the Panama Canal so quickly was that he wanted to prevent the foreign devils from getting the so-called Panama Canal. Once they took control of the Panama Canal, it would be very unfavorable for him in the future. Once they come from the Panama Canal, they can completely bypass the natural danger of the Strait of Malacca, come directly from the Panama Canal, and then use the British colonies of New Zealand and Australia as a springboard to attack China.

There are no dangerous positions along the way to stop them, and they rely entirely on the navy as their foundation. Moreover, in the future, Wang Guorui plans to establish a so-called Kingdom of Hawaii in that Hawaii. Once the Panama Canal is in the hands of foreigners, Hawaii will be the meat on the chopping board and can be eaten at any time. Wang Guorui is too far away from Hawaii, so it is difficult to support him effectively. The Panama Canal is almost seven inches from the United States. Once the Panama Canal is in hand, it will almost cut off any influence of the United States on the Pacific Ocean.

"Let me think about it!" said the Colombian president.

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

But the American minister immediately threatened: "You have to remember, after all, this is our place in the United States. Our United States has absolute influence in the Americas. It is impossible for you Chinese to send soldiers here. You Chinese, absolutely Impossible."

"Hehe, although we did not accomplish enough, we failed more than enough!" Special Envoy Wang Guorui countered.

The American envoy's face darkened. This is really shameless. He actually said that? This is right, although China has little influence in the Americas~lightnovelpub.net~Although it is not enough to succeed alone, it is absolutely more than enough to fail. Although it is difficult for Wang Guorui to do things alone in America, it is very difficult for him to do anything he wants to do. But ruining other people's good deeds is definitely "more than a ruin". Destruction is far easier than construction. Wang Guorui just wants to destroy the idea of ​​Westerners digging the Panama Canal, and he doesn't want to actually dig it himself.

Wang Guorui knew that he would not be able to dig the canal in a short time, but he just hoped to spoil their good deed, so that they themselves could not dig the canal by Europeans. He didn't want to dig by himself, if he did, it would be more harm than good. So his goal is just to spoil their good deeds, not really digging by himself.

So the American minister's face was very dark when he heard this. This obviously understood the meaning of the Chinese. These ministers stationed abroad still have two brushes, and it is impossible not to know what the Panama Canal means. So he quickly realized the situation, and he immediately went back to the embassy to send a telegram to the country to ask for instructions, hoping that the country would provide corresponding guidance and political support as soon as possible, and put political pressure on the Colombian Republic.
