Chapter 24 The Americans prepare a big meal for the French

"Who did he think he was? Caesar?"

Guo Jinzhang's words were sent back to France as fast as possible... It would not be possible if not sent.ingee Because Guo Jinzhang arrived in Colombia in person and brought more than 300 people. Although these people could not threaten the national regime of Colombia, they could definitely suppress many voices. Moreover, who can guarantee that there is no support from the US government? The whole world has Americans' ambitions for the Panama Canal. The Chinese have divided two states from the US government. The US government asked them to come forward to fight and seize the canal lease from the French to exchange. This makes sense. In addition to these, the most important thing is that Guo Jinzhang has enough strength to make Pierre pay attention, because there is a considerable combat force behind this guy... It is an army that has suffered a great loss to the Americans.

Just like Pierre showed when facing Guo Jinzhang, after learning the news, the first thing the French government showed was anger, and then anger... François Paul Jules Grevi, the third president of the Third Republic of France, sent a telegram to ask Washington, asking Chessette Arthur if he wanted to do so, but he only got a "?" number, because Chessette Arthur had just received the news that Guo Jinzhang appeared in Cologne.

So Grevi went crazy completely.

At that time, France became the target of everyone's demonstrations? Especially this guy was just the leader of a small Chinese rebel army?

"Send troops, send troops...send troops, we must make those arrogant guys the majesty of the French Republic"

The president's roar spread throughout the Elysee Palace. Many government personnel working in the presidential palace thought that another war would break out, but soon, they disappeared from the president's roar...

"We cannot send troops to Colombia." Charles de Frasine is the current French Prime Minister. Although he is also angry at Guo Jinzhang's arrogance, his performance is calmer than Grevi. "First of all, Colombia has not yet expressed its opinion on this matter. Our current relationship with Santa Fe Bogota is not possible, and it is impossible to bypass them and send troops there directly; Second, we are not sure whether the Chinese are pushing Washington. If so, the strength we need to invest will be great, but in that case, we may fall into a war with the US government... The distance between the Americans and Colombia is much closer than us. Once the war breaks out, the situation will definitely be unfavorable to us; Third, the Chinese, he has strong strength, an army of tens of thousands of people, which has wiped out a hundred thousand American captains not long ago... It is enough to make us feel bad for ourselves."

"Can he still send all his troops to Panama?" Grevi stabilized his emotions after a brief furious. After all, he was a politician. Although he was angry, he still knew the importance of it.

"He doesn't have to send all the troops, only a few thousand people are enough to make Colombia admit defeat. It is conceivable that the US government will definitely be very happy to help him transport the troops. Moreover, the information sent back by Colombia shows that the guy seems to be interested in splitting Colombia... If that happens, he doesn't even need a few thousand people." Fresine sighed.

"Then we have no other way?" Grevi said angrily, "I want to protest to the US government, I want them to explain this... Let them stop the yellow people."

"The US government cannot control those Chinese people." Frasine had a bitter face, "A few days ago, we were mocking them for compromising with a group of Chinese people, mocking them for giving an independent diplomatic right to a local government, and even giving the other party the right to declare war, mocking the country they are in for allowing a group of Chinese people to establish a country in the country... But now, the Chinese have proved the correctness and forward-looking nature of their behavior with practical actions. The Chinese people's Tangzhou was just established and has no interest in any country, which makes the Chinese people not

We need to worry about any losses and let go of our hands and feet. The independent diplomatic rights and previous treaties make Americans not responsible for the actions of Tangzhou. This means that we cannot hold the US government accountable for the actions of the Chinese. But if we declare war on Tangzhou, the United States can become the backing of Tangzhou, and even tear down the skin to join the war at any time... What is certain is that if the Chinese grab the right to lease the canal, the whole United States will be happy and happy to help the Chinese for this, at least the US government will not miss such an opportunity."

"Then let's do it? Are you just watching a group of monkeys provoking France without any help?" Grevi couldn't help but yell again, "We will be impeached and stepped down because of this."

"Submit it to Parliament, anyway, France's real power is in Parliament..." Fresin sighed again. The current Third Republic of France was established on the basis of the Second French Empire. In 152, Napoleon III followed the footsteps of his uncle Napoleon I, becoming the French emperor and establishing the Second French Empire. However, due to the rise of Germany, the balance of power in Europe was changed, and the Second Empire lasted for only one year. Prussian Prime Minister Bismarck led Prussia to become the leader of the German region. In order to arouse national sentiment in the German region, Bismarck established a unified German country through the Emsmith incident, which caused France to declare war on Prussia, which triggered universal France in 70 years.

War. After the Battle of Seodang in September 170, Napoleon III was captured and the Second French Empire collapsed. On September 4, a coup occurred in France, the Second French Empire was overthrown, and the Third French Republic was established. However, at the beginning of the founding of the Third Republic, the royalists and the republics had been competing with each other. The second president of the Republic, Patrice McMahon, was a typical royalists. During his tenure, he had a fierce confrontation with the parliament controlled by the republicans and finally resigned. This result means that the parliament became a decisive force in French politics, while the president became a rubber stamp... In other words, Grevi and he, the prime minister, were just puppets of the parliament, and the power of the republic was in the parliament.

"Parliament, Parliament... Well, leave it to Parliament." After hearing the Prime Minister's proposal, Grevi had to agree after muttering meaninglessly.

The incident was then mentioned to both Houses of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Third Republic of France.

Then there is the rage of the MPs.

Then, the incident was sent back to the Elysee Palace and delivered to Grevi's hand... France has almost no power in Latin America. Faced with the threat of a powerful local faction, they can only use diplomatic means to counter the situation, and there is no other way. As for the war, it is impossible to think about it. The French are arrogant, like to be above the top, like not to take others seriously, and always like to look up to the top, but they are not stupid... Start a war? When Britain and the United States are eyeing each other, they fight against a powerful faction who has just eliminated 100,000 American teams? Winning may not necessarily bring much benefits. If you lose, you will not have the chance to reach out there. Maybe you will face another crisis. This kind of thankless thing, whoever loves to do, will do it, anyway, the French will not be so naughty.

But the problem is that the French government only conducts so-called mediation in diplomacy, but it forces the actual contractor of the canal. The French Intermediate Canal Company is as big as a fight... After discussion, the company's board of directors finally decided to speed up the construction of the canal project. The canal, which was originally scheduled to start next year, will start construction one month later, in order to create a fait accompli and completely cut off the Chinese people's thoughts about the canal. With the actions of the Intermediate Canal Company, tens of thousands of workers from more than 50 countries also began to assemble.

And at this time, what is Guo Jinzhang doing?

He is negotiating with representatives sent by Colombian President Raphael Nunes Morideo.

"Guo, your behavior is very bad. This completely destroys international rules." Morido's representative was very angry. Although he tried his best to suppress it, this anger was obviously not so easy to suppress. Thinking about it, the country was small and poor. He finally relied on the territory to open a canal to subsidize subsidies. As a result, because of the ulterior motives of Britain, the United States and other countries, it took decades to delay the agreement with the United States. They found France and negotiated a relatively acceptable treaty. As the project was about to start, everyone should be able to live a good life in a few years, but someone came to make trouble... This would be angry, especially for "poor" like Colombia. If Guo Jinzhang had not been backed by the United States and had strong military backing, Santos would have doubts if he would swing his fist to the other party's face as soon as he met.

"The rules are used to break, and now the most common international law is the jungle law, that is, the strong prey on the weak... Otherwise, Colombia would not have waited until today to start the canal project, right?" Guo Jinzhang couldn't understand the anger of the other party. Although he was born in New China and grew up under the red flag, this feeling of frustration due to his weak national strength is not unfamiliar to him... Not to mention anything else, the Diaoyu Islands are depressing enough, and there are the "protests" again and again...

"The strong prey on the weak? Humph, Guo, France does not seem to meet the conditions of the 'small', and you seem to not reach the 'strong' level in the international community?" Santos snorted coldly.

"There is a saying? I'm not fighting alone." Guo Jinzhang smiled.

"I'm not alone, you have a Red Corps behind you, and there may even be a US government. But you are still alone now. Do you really dare to provoke France again shortly after fighting with the US government?" Santos asked again.

"Why should I provoke France?" Guo Jinzhang asked back.

"Aren't you just provoking now?" Santos said.

"Provocation? We are just engaging in a very normal business competition... It's like doing business. Although you have reached an agreement with the French government to hand over the canal order to the French, as long as my conditions are more generous, you can hand over the order to me again, right?" Guo Jinzhang smiled.

"Good conditions? Can you afford to have better conditions than the French?" Santos was not angry because he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not the same as the US government, which had always been reluctant to see the canal. Perhaps this guy represented the interests of the American people at this time, but he was obviously different from the American interests represented by the US government.

"Let's talk about the French first," Guo Jinzhang continued to laugh, "I once told Pierre that I'm here, so the Panama Canal will become my whole product... Many people think this is my war clamor, and think that I became arrogant after defeating the US government, but the actual situation is not. I just want to tell the French that their canal cannot be built at all. In other words, they cannot complete the agreement with you."

"With France's power, if there is no external interference, the Panama Canal is only a matter of time. And they have successfully built the Suez Canal before this, which is a very good example," said Santos.

"Suez is different. It is very close to France. Relying on the power of France, they can complete the canal without any interference. But it is different in Panama. The US government has been staring at this land tens of years ago. They will not allow this important canal channel to be occupied by other countries, and Britain is also eyeing this canal... Compared with them, France's power in this region is almost negligible. Moreover, France's political situation seems to be so unstable, just like they were forced to sell Suez shares to the UK for foreign debt. Who would have lost the Panama Canal again for reasons? Oh, I said, in fact, the French cannot succeed in Panama like the construction of the Suez Canal." Guo Jinzhang said.

"Do you have a basis?" Santos asked.

"I heard that Fernande de Resaib, the Inter-Ocean Canal Company, has inspected the terrain of Panama and has determined the excavation route of the canal, right?" Guo Jinzhang asked.

"Of course. This work was completed as early as last year, and what remains is the allocation of workers and materials." Santos replied.

"That Resaib seems to have been studying the information about the Suez Canal?" Guo Jinzhang asked again.

"What's so strange about this? It's normal to dig a canal. It's normal to learn from successful experiences." Santos didn't understand what Guo Jinzhang meant. In his opinion, this sentence was a bit out of standard.

"Then I want to ask, Lei Saibu is planning to dig a kind of canal?" Guo Jinzhang asked with a smile again.

"Of course it is a sea-level canal like the Suez Canal." Santos became more and more inexplicable. It is of course a sea-level canal connecting the two oceans, otherwise it will be navigable?

"I can guarantee that Resaib has not studied the situation in the Caribbean and the Pacific, because, based on the information I reviewed on Capitol Hill in Washington, Panama is not suitable for building a sea-level canal..."

"?" Santos was shocked. The sea level canal cannot be built... That means that all the research done by Resaib and the design of the canal are in vain? No matter what, it must be started over again? However, after a brief shock, Santos shook his head. Resaib was the main contributor of the Suez Canal, and therefore became a member of the French Academy of Sciences and an academician of the French Academy of Sciences. He received the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor and the Indian Star Medal. Even the British Royal Family awarded him the title of Honorary Citizen in London. Such a canal expert may not even be clear whether Panama knew it was appropriate to build a sea level canal?

"I don't, you're making a fool of yourself."

"Lesaibu's overly capable, or he was immersed in his past honor and glory and could not extricate himself. He doesn't, the sea surface on one end of the Panama Isthmus facing the Pacific Ocean is 5-6 meters lower than the Caribbean Sea... Sea-level canal? Maybe it can be built in a dream." Guo Jinzhang sneered.

"?" Santos was shocked again, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Guo Jinzhang nodded, "When I was in Washington, I began to plan to obtain the construction and lease rights of the Panama Canal, so I read a lot of information in my spare time. The Americans' research on the canal has been decades, and they obviously have a greater say than Resaibo."

"Emperor..." Santos's face turned pale. He, Guo Jinzhang, would not lie because it was completely unnecessary. It doesn't take much or hard work to measure the height of sea level... However, it is much more troublesome to redesign the canal. And most importantly, since Guo Jinzhang dared to tell him this important information, then this guy must still hold more important information in his hand, and he is confident that with this information, the Colombian government will submit.

"Do you want to hear something else?" Sure enough, Guo Jinzhang spoke again.

"Please say." Santos had completely lost his temper. He had already felt Guo Jinzhang's strong confidence and determination.

"Is it the way the canal designed by Lesabbe is the same as the Panama Railway run by the Americans?" Guo Jinzhang asked again.

"Yes." Santos nodded, "This is mainly to facilitate transportation of supplies."

"The idea is no, but he is simply asking for trouble." Guo Jinzhang sneered, "because the Americans are ready to make things difficult for him. The US government will give a large amount of funds to the Panama Railway Company and let them make trouble for the Intermediate Canal, and the losses caused during the period will be compensated by the government."

"?" Santos was shocked again. The Isthmus of Panama is full of primeval forests. If the railway cannot be passed, then the transportation of materials alone will be a headache.

"Are you surprised? This is just one of the contents in the secret documents of the US Congress Foreign Affairs Committee." Guo Jinzhang smiled.

"One? Is it...is there any?" Don't jump.

"Of course there is." Guo Jinzhang shrugged, "In order to prevent the Panama Canal from being stolen by others, the Americans have prepared several big meals for the French... to ensure that the meal is 'delicious'."
