Chapter 246 France's plenipotentiary representative

"What a troublesome thing, why is there nothing about the Republic of Panama?"

The freighter docked at the Port of Cristobal in Panama. Of course, Panama is called the Isthmus of Panama, not the Republic, because Panama did not become an independent republic at this time. Guo Jinzhang did not know when this small country that divided North and South America and connected the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean appeared, but he was sure that the emergence of this country must be quite connected with the United States. Maybe it was the Americans who used some tricks for their own interests, which caused Panama to split from Colombia.

But if you think about it carefully, it may not be a bad thing to split Panama from Colombia. You should know that Colombia in later generations is not a good place. Although Guo Jinzhang is not a professional, he still knows the three well-known drug production bases of Golden Triangle, Golden Crescent and Silver Crescent. Golden Triangle is planted in large quantities in the jiā world of Laota, Myanmar and Thailand; Golden Triangle is in Afghanistan, while Silver Crescent is in South America, and has a very good relationship with Colombia. Even international news often says "Colombian drug lords". Moreover, the control of the domestic situation has always been very good, and it is often troubled by domestic guerrillas and drug dealers. It can be said that Colombia is definitely one of the most unsafe countries in later generations.

"I just asked

This place belongs to a place called Cologne." Jian Wang came over with a bearded man. This bearded man was the captain of their cargo ship, named Rubar, and was also the translator for the translation of Guo Jinzhang and the Barnabas. Because the common language in Panama is Spanish, and Guo Jinzhang and Jian Wang, as well as the soldiers of the 300 Red Corps on the ship know nothing about it.

"Cologne? This person is familiar with him." Guo Jinzhang shook his head and recalled something.

"Mr. Guo, do you know this place?" Rubar said with a bearded smile: "You are very knowledgeable. You know, although Cologne is the largest port in northern Colombia, and many ships have to unload cargo here and then transport the cargo to the Pacific Ocean via railway, but there are not many people who know the name of this place."

"But in my impression, Cologne is not a city, it is just a community..."

"Community?"

"Yes, what kind of bridge is Cologne...a community." Guo Jinzhang let out a long sigh. His first impression of Cologne was actually a newly built community. He wanted to buy a house in that community, but unfortunately the price was too expensive. In the end, he had no choice but to buy a second-hand house... It was a toothache to think about it. Why are there so many people in China and the housing prices so expensive? Look at him now... As long as he returns to Tangzhou, he can easily enclose one or two acres of land as a bedroom?

"What should we do first?" Jian Wang asked again.

"Captain Rubar, take us around." Guo Jinzhang looked at the road leading to the distance and said to Rubar.

"No problem. Cologne is the largest trading point in this area, and it is very lively here." Rubar nodded repeatedly, but after he finished speaking, he did not take a step immediately and left, "Mr. Guo, do you think... do you want to bring some bodyguards?"

"bodyguard?"

"It's the bodyguard." Rubar nodded, "Mr. Guo, maybe you don't know that it's not peaceful here... Gun battles will happen frequently. Although you may not be afraid, I think it's necessary to ensure your safety."

"Then let the brothers get off the boat." Guo Jinzhang thought for a while and said to Jian Wang.

"Right off the ship now?" Jian Wang was stunned. The original plan was not like this. Moreover, the soldiers of the Three Hundred Red Finger Corps suddenly appeared... This problem would be very big. Didn't the US Navy rely on only 160 people to fight, so the new Granada government did not even dare to pay back the battle? What if this scares people?

"Drop off the boat." Guo Jinzhang waved, "Anyway, everyone is here, so I don't know if I hide on the boat? We don't want to pretend to be a pig and eat tigers, and do things like wearing a si-visiting and so on... get off the boat."

"good."

Jian Wang smiled, and said nothing, and immediately turned around and ran towards the freighter. Then, two hundred fully armed Red Corps soldiers appeared on the dock at the port of Cristobal. Jian Wang was careful and wanted to leave a way out for his group of people and save some support. In addition, the remaining one hundred people also had to protect the ten-ting Green machine guns on the ship...

"What did you say?"

A fully armed force suddenly appeared near the port. Although the number of this force did not seem to be large, more than 200 people were enough to overturn the entire city of Cologne... The news quickly spread from the port to every corner of Cologne, and quickly reached the office of the mayor of Cologne. The mayor, who was drinking and spanking with people in a bar, almost ran away on the spot... More than 200 armed personnel appeared on their territory without saying a word. The mayor really couldn't imagine that there was a more applicable title than the word "invader".

"Mayor, what should we do? Those guys have caused panic in the port area, and this momentum is about to spread to the city." The mayor's secretary who sent the message asked the mayor with a sad face. The public security situation in Colombia is not good, and the political situation has changed a lot, especially in the Panama area. Because it is the shortest distance between the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, many forces led by major powers are quite distributed here, and this situation further exacerbates the public security situation in Panama... The so-called mayor may not be able to take care of places outside the municipal fu.

"What else can I do? Go and see if you can send a telegram to inform the Santa Fe Bo Columbia University, see what the men have said. Let's not worry about the others." The mayor also replied with a sad face.

"But what if they fight?" the secretary asked.

"Is there any force in Cologne that can defeat an armed force that wins more than 200 people?" the mayor asked.

"No." The secretary shook his head very quickly.

"Then what else do you have?" the mayor asked again.

"Look... can we inform the French?" the secretary asked immediately, obviously he had already been holding on to this idea.

"French? We are going to find the French for our own affairs?" The mayor glanced at him unhappily, "Don't you think this is embarrassing? And... the French are not necessarily stronger than these two hundred people."

"But they can at least represent France." The secretary seemed to have a little bit of a jingle, "I heard that those guys seem to be yellow people... The French will definitely be able to deal with them."

"Yellow race?" The mayor was stunned.

"Yes, it's just yellow people, those guys saw it with their own eyes." The secretary replied.

"That's very troublesome." The mayor shook his head again... Many of the residents of Cologne are white, and so are the mayor himself. However, not all white people will feel superior when facing yellow people. Small and poor countries like Colombia will also feel guilty and short-sigh when facing China at this time... This is actually caused by the so-called national strength. At this time, China is no longer weak, and only a few countries can bully the past. In addition to these few countries, China's comprehensive strength is still at the forefront of the world. Of course, this is not a pride... In an era when almost all the world is colonized by European countries, what is there to be proud of a sovereign state to compare with the people of those colonies? What's more, the Chinese rulers and ordinary people may only be at the end of the world in any aspect at this time... There is really nothing to be proud of.

"Then what you mean..." Seeing the mayor's hesitation, the secretary was also a little unsteady.

"Just do what you want," the mayor sighed, "Remember, monitor their every move at any time..."

"Yes. I will report their situation to your office at any time." The secretary replied.

"No, no, no, you don't have to go to my office, just come here. I will be waiting for your news here..." the mayor shook his head.

"Um?"

...

Guo Jinzhang didn't know that the mayor of Cologne had no interest in contacting him. The guy didn't even dare to go back to his office, as if he was afraid that he would be blocked by the armed forces of more than 200 people and could not get out of the municipal government. Even the guy was preparing to greet the French in order to use the French's power to deter these yellow people of unknown purpose.

However, even if Guo Jinzhang knew about it, he wouldn't care too much, and he might be very happy. Because, he finally found a trace of the pleasure of the invader... It turned out that the feeling of being afraid of others was so pleasant.

"Isn't it good for us to do this?"

With more than 200 soldiers carrying guns and live ammunition behind him, Jian Wang was a little embarrassed to walk on the city avenue so arrogantly. Because the places they passed along along the way were full of flying dogs... Everyone was running away in a hurry, as if they were afraid of rushing into them. This made Jian Wang, who was kind, feel a little sad. After all, Panama is not the United States, and the residents here have never bullied them.

"We can't blame us," Guo Jinzhang smiled. "We didn't say we were here to fight, they were afraid... We can't let the brothers behind us go back by themselves, right?"

"Do you want to find their municipal government?" Jian Wang didn't know how many people would scare if his words were heard. The fear of others made him feel that they were not very good. He just wanted to find someone to notify the Colombian government quickly, and then Guo Jinzhang would negotiate with the other party to take down the canal.

"Don't worry, let's take a look first." Guo Jinzhang smiled and pointed to both sides of the road. "Awang, if it were you who came to block the mayor of Cologne, what do you think the development direction of Cologne should be?"

"What direction of development?" Jian Wang asked. Guo Jinzhang's words turned too fast, and he had not come back to his senses yet.

"Economic." Guo Jinzhang said.

"Economic?" Jian Wang thought for a while, "Are you talking about industrial and commercial things?"

"That's right." Guo Jinzhang nodded, "Do you think if you were the mayor, how can Cologne develop better?"

"How can I understand this?" Jian Wang shook his head and smiled again. However, although he said so, he still carefully observed the surrounding situation... Although the geographical location of the city of Cologne is important, the actual situation here obviously does not conform to its strategic position. Various types of garbage can be seen everywhere on the streets, the roads are narrow and broken, and the buildings on both sides are low and crowded, which makes him feel quite uncomfortable when he came out of Washington just now.

"If I were to do it, I would definitely have to carry out municipal construction first... to widen the road and build it into cement roads. Then, build a few specialized markets... Also, to do a good job in urban cleaning, and to establish a trustworthy and highly qualified police force to maintain urban public security..."

"That's all?" Guo Jinzhang continued to ask. He was familiar with what Jian Wang said, which was exactly the measures he had taken when they occupied San Francisco.

"What else are there if it's not these? I can learn these two tricks from you." Jian Wang said with a wry smile.

"Actually, it is very easy for Cologne to develop. As long as a free trade port is built, it can develop quickly... Of course, there is another very important premise." Guo Jinzhang said.

"Canal?" Rubar suddenly spoke.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Captain Rubar, you also have research on these things." Guo Jinzhang smiled.

"This is not my research." Rubar smiled. "In fact, things about the Panama Canal have been quarreling for decades... Everyone knows that as soon as this canal is built, it will immediately become the confluence of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Whoever owns this canal is equivalent to owning a golden river. And Cologne, close to this golden river, will naturally become the most important port on the Atlantic Ocean, and naturally no one can stop its rise."

"That's right." Guo Jinzhang nodded, "Canal, as long as there is a canal, Panama will develop immediately, and even become one of the richest regions in the world."

"This is impossible." Rubal smiled bitterly.

"Why?" Jian Wang asked.

"No matter who builds this canal, it will not allow Colombian governments to enjoy dominance. The agreement signed by the French and Colombia only allows Colombian governments to have less than 10% profit... The minimum guarantee of this money is only 250,000 US dollars. Although this is indeed a huge sum of money, what is enough for a country? Especially in Colombia governments, corruption is still prevalent..." Rubar sighed.

"Corruption?" Guo Jinzhang was stunned for a moment, "I thought that a political fu that could stick to the bottom line and would rather put a canal that can bring huge profits for a long time in order to ensure his own interests would be a clean political fu. So it seems not?"

"I often travel through the Caribbean from the United States to get here. Mr. Guo, I can guarantee that as long as you are willing to make money, you will get almost everything you want... Of course, this must also be what Colombia can provide." Rubar smiled.

"Don't let the people in the Colombian political circles hear this, they will be dissatisfied." Guo Jinzhang said with a smile.

"Dare they not satisfied with the Red Corps? God, I think unless they are crazy," Rubar smiled exaggeratedly.

"That's not necessarily..." Jian Wang suddenly pointed forward, "Look, is that theirs?"

"Haha, we're finally here," Guo Jinzhang also saw the carriage galloping. The other party was very fast. Although the people on this street had already run away because of their arrogance, there were still many people watching them around... But the carriage didn't care about the appearance of those people at all, and rushed forward at full speed, which made him a little unhappy... No matter how arrogant you are, you can't do such dangerous moves. What if you hurt someone?

"Call them to stop." Do whatever you think of. Since you feel unhappy, you have to stop it... Since occupying Washington, Guo Jinzhang felt that he was becoming more and more scrupulous.

"First team, line up forward." Jian Wang also looked at the rampant carriage and was extremely unhappy. When he heard Guo Jinzhang's order, he immediately waved his hand... Soon, twenty soldiers from the Red Corps lined up in two rows to block him, Guo Jinzhang, and Rubar. The guns in his hand also aimed at the carriage, and the remaining soldiers set out in formation.

"parking"

Two hundred people all looked at the guns. The people in the carriage obviously did not expect to encounter such a formation, so how could they dare to continue rushing over? There were still thirty or forty meters away from Guo Jinzhang and the others, so they had to stop honestly.

"Ask who they are and why they are destroying the city order here."

Seeing the carriage parked in the distance, the people above were still motionless, as if they were holding a shelf, Guo Jinzhang felt even more disgusted and immediately ordered Rubar.

"No problem." Rubal responded and immediately translated Guo Jinzhang's words to the opposite side in Spanish.

...

"I... destroy the city order?"

The people in the carriage were very angry by this question. He was just a carriage, but Guo Jinzhang was more than 200 armed personnel... He was just rushing around, but most of them were still in the middle of the road, and there were no people around, so he didn't hit anyone at all. Guo Jinzhang had no idea how many people had scared along the way, but that guy actually said that he was destroying the city order...

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" The person in the carriage was still angry, and a question from the coachman came from front.

"Tell them that I am Pierre Terry, the plenipotentiary representative of the French Republic to the Republic of Colombia, and let them know their identity." The man in the carriage said with a hatred.

"Yes, sir." The coachman responded and immediately shouted in Spanish. However, soon, Pierre, who was preparing to appear in the most arrogant posture in the carriage, collapsed his tingly straight backbone, because he heard the answer from the other side:

"Lieutenant General of the United States of America, Commander-in-Chief of the Red Corps, Jin Zhang. Guo"

"It's him... this guy actually appeared here. What do he want to do?" Thinking of the rumors about the Red Corps, the French plenipotentiary representative couldn't help but change his color.
