Chapter 252 Big Gold Mine

Just a week after Guo Jinzhang proposed a "military confrontation exercise" to the French government to gamble on ownership of Guyana, Paris, Ferdinand de Resaib's residence.

...

Resaibo has been particularly annoyed recently.

As the general manager of the French Intermediate Canal Company, he is confident in building the Panama Canal, but he did not expect that he would meet a super troublemaker like Guo Jinzhang when the project was about to begin. Well, or he can't be called a troublemaker. That guy is simply a robber. Chiluoluo showed his sharp fangs and greedy ambitions in front of the whole world.

"I can't let this guy succeed... He can't even think about it. We are French, and France will not allow a villain to steal the interests that originally belonged to France."

There was a person sitting in front of Lesaibu, who was exactly Santos who had met Guo Jinzhang, the special envoy of the Colombian president. Lesaibu's words also clearly showed Santos' purpose... They were discussing matters about the Panama Canal and Guo Jinzhang.

"Mr. Resaibo, I once had a negotiation with Mr. Guo. Do you know what I knew in that negotiation?" Santos could understand Resaibo's depression. No one would be happy when he was about to get rich, not to mention that this was not an ordinary way of wealth.

"What do you know?" asked Resaib.

"Mr. Guo told me that his trip was actually the result of negotiations with the United States of America... Americans' ambitions for the Panama Canal have never disappeared, especially for France to easily obtain the construction and lease rights of the canal under their negligence, which made them feel even more unacceptable. Therefore, according to the agreement, Mr. Guo had to come to Colombia." Santos said.

"If that's the case, why is he still so active?" Resaib had no doubt about Santos's words. The Americans' ambitions for the Central American Canal are well known to the world, and doing such things is reasonable. But he is very dissatisfied with Guo Jinzhang's actions... Since you are not willing to come by yourself, why are you still working so hard? You are so naughty?

"Because he can get benefits, huge benefits." Santos smiled, "You know, the Red Corps is very poor. Because they did not loot when they fought with the Americans, and the more than 10 million dollars paid by the American political gang did not provide much help to them."

"But he will never try to grab the canal from me." Leisab snorted coldly.

"There is the support of the Americans behind him, absolutely support." Santos also became serious. "Mr. Resaib, you should know what this means... In America, as long as Americans make up their minds to oppose something, then no matter who it is, there is basically no possibility of anything. As the Americans themselves said, Latin America is their backyard in their own backyard. They definitely cannot allow others to take a kick, and they are also a kick in an important position."

"Mr. Santos, why do I feel like you are talking to that Chinese? Have you forgotten your own position?" Resaib said suddenly unhappy.

"I haven't forgotten my position. However, Jin Zhang and Guo have great autonomy. Moreover, compared with American politics, we are more willing to be with someone like him who is relatively small in power and strength, which is difficult to affect Colombia, but it can greatly influence or even prevent American politics from cooperating with people who have turned against the past." Santos said solemnly.

"I knew..." Lei Saibu was so angry that he hummed. When Santos came to find him, he felt something was wrong, and the other party expressed his support for Guo Jinzhang inside and out, which further verified his idea. And now, Santos has obviously torn off his face.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Resaib," Santos bowed slightly to Rekamp, ​​"You know, no matter what, we hope that the Panama Canal can be successfully completed and navigated. On this basis, we hope that this canal can bring more benefits to Colombia... Jin Zhang. Guo can do this."

"He is a puppet of the Americans. Do you think the Americans can agree to you to gain great benefits from it? Think about what the Americans did, they always wanted to dominate the canal and exclude you from all the affairs of the canal, and they wouldn't even pay you a penny." Lesepb said angrily.

"But Jin Zhang. Guo won't." Santos smiled, "The Panama Canal will be a golden river, Jin Zhang. Guo won't easily give it to the American political fu, and the American political fu can force it from our hands, but it is absolutely impossible to snatch it from Jin Zhang. Guo... because that means more terrible consequences."

"What do you want me to do? Give up the Panama Canal?" Resaib snorted coldly and looked at Santos with contempt.

"It would be better if this could be done." Santos smiled.

"But you can't imagine that I will never agree, and I will never agree." Resaib said almost gritting his teeth.

"We know this is not an easy decision for you, but Mr. Resaib, as the general manager of the canal company, what you need to do is not just to build the canal successfully... You may have obtained funds from Mingfang and have recruited enough personnel, but you have not received more important support. And these play a crucial role in whether the canal can be built successfully." Santos sighed, "I can give you an example first, which is the Panama Railway."

"So what?" Resaib snorted coldly.

"Americans have actually been preparing to make things difficult for you in terms of material transportation. Their plan was even done when you signed an agreement with us... The Panama Railway operating company will cause trouble for you anytime and anywhere, affecting the progress of the entire project." Santos said.

"...This is not a big news at all, we had expected it long ago." Leisaibu suffocated for a moment, but soon recovered.

"We believe you did anticipate it, but there are many things that you can't predict. As far as I know, the Americans still have an important information that will make the entire project pause or even temporarily dismount." Santos' tone was already covered with a hint of disdain. Of course, as an outsider, his disdain was well hidden and was not noticed by Lesaibo. But he also knew that even if Lesaibo was noticed, it would be useless, because this guy was obviously for the Panama Railway.

The company may be worried about the troubles caused to them... Have you expected it? If you had expected it, the French would not have planned the canal along the railway line. Therefore, these people who were làng were sure to have been stunned by the news he provided. You should know that if something happened in terms of material transportation, the investment amount of the canal needs to be increased by a large amount. This is not a small amount. As for the situation along the Panama Canal, if you don’t have a thousand dollars, you can simply transport things smoothly, but how much is the entire canal invested?

"What important information?" Resaib was indeed having a headache about possible problems on the railway. Santos' reminder woke him up from his original optimistic imagination... Americans have been entangled with this canal for decades. How could they really watch him take the river away and use their own railway to help? He was too "làng" and even wanted to build the canal along the railway...

"Sorry, this information is very important. I cannot tell it unless Colombia can get enough benefits. And..." Santostoned for a moment, "The information was provided by Jin Zhang. Guo. If he knew that I would tell you such important information, once it gets angry, Colombia may face the invasion of war."

"He dares to start a war?" Lei Saibu said disdainfully.

"Hasn't he declared war on France in disguise?" Santos asked back.

"this……"

Lei Saibu was speechless. Indeed, Guo Jinzhang had declared war on France. Although the declaration of war was not formal, almost the whole world already knew about this... Most people were disdainful of the Chinese boy's arrogance. The French ambassador to Qing even sent a telegram, claiming that this behavior had also caused a strong response in China, but most Chinese officials thought that Guo Jinzhang was too arrogant, "the son was a Zhongshan wolf, and he would be rampant when he succeeded." This telegram was widely publicized in France. The French did not know what the Zhongshan wolf was, nor did he know why the wolf was so famous. But it was obvious that the Chinese were extremely dissatisfied and disdained with Guo Jinzhang's behavior. This relieved the strong dissatisfaction caused by the French people's "declaration of war" and regarded Guo Jinzhang as a clown-level figure. However, he was just an ordinary citizen, as a foreigner.

The manager of a large company who was an official, Lesaib knew the truth very well: French political affairs did not want to go to war with Guo Jinzhang, and those guys were afraid that the Americans would interfere with the Chinese, and that would support the Chinese. In that case, the French army that fought across the ocean would definitely be hit by the Red Corps... Once defeated, France would lose a large part of the few colonies in the Americas again. The fact is that when fighting against the Red Corps that had just stepped down from the battlefield, the French military had no confidence at all... According to the former French Marshal François Ahil Bazin who fled to Italy, "The current French army is not likely to defeat a Chinese army with high fighting spirit and confidence, especially the leader of this army is familiar with modern warfare and has an extremely superhuman sense of tactical smell... and most importantly, the battle between France and the Red Corps is most beneficial to Germany."

Although some people think that Germany is struggling to develop its own country and will not take the opportunity to attack France. However, it is fine to say this. Germany's iron-blooded prime minister is still there, so who dares to take it lightly? Therefore, based on the idea that it is difficult to defeat and cannot afford Germany in vain, France only weakens the impact of Guo Jinzhang's declaration of war on France as much as possible in terms of propaganda and public opinion, and remains silent in other aspects.

However, silence does not mean disdain. People all over the world know a fact: the French Republic retreated in the face of a villain's challenge.

Therefore, in France, members of the Royalist Party are very frequent. They believe that the republic will only make France weaker and weaker. They should have an emperor, an emperor who can lead France to recreate glory. Who is this emperor? Everyone almost unanimously supports the members of the Bo Naba family... Because, although Napoleon III made France a defeated country and lost the two territories of Artsace and Lorraine, people are still willing to believe that the members of the Bo Naba family will lead France on the glorious path of Napoleon I. Therefore, the Royalist Party began to contact the former French queen in Britain, the wife of Napoleon III... A nv person who is ranked among the most beautiful NV people in Europe with the Bavarian Rose Princess Sissi and is known as the royal violet. Similarly, that is also his cousin of Ferdinand de Reserb.

"I really don't understand, what's wrong with this world?"

Lessib was increasingly puzzled. France was one of the great powers and was the leader among the great powers. Even if it was defeated by Germany, it could still make the land power so nervous. Otherwise, Bismarck would not have looked for allies everywhere... But they were really trapped in the hands of a small Guo Jinzhang... When did the great powers be so worthless?

"We don't understand." Santos also smiled bitterly. Guo Jinzhang's strength made him and the Colombian political corps he represented feel extremely shocked. A force with only tens of thousands of people who can be almost "small" in the world can first fight a war with the American political corps, and then threaten France... The most unexpected thing is that both the United States and France retreated in front of Guo Jinzhang and his Red Corps. Colombia is far stronger than the Red Corps, but why are they always bullied by others in this and that, and sometimes they can't even make aggrievances?

"No matter what you say, I will not agree to stop the Panama Canal...I will not give up."

While sighing, he was helpless, but Lei Saibu finally chose to persevere.

"Hope you've always thought so, but I don't think you'll have much time to stick with it." Santos sighed, "After all, the Inter canal is not just yours."

"Um?"

Hu Shi, a master who had not been born at this time, said, "History is a little girl who can be dressed up."

According to the historical records of later generations, "Guo Jinzhang, the commander-in-chief of the Red Corps at the time, finally completed the acquisition of the Oceanic Canal Company after arduous negotiations, and paid 11 million US dollars to obtain the construction and lease rights of the Panama Canal..."

But what is the truth?

No one expected that the final result of this "acquisition" was the politics of the Colombian Republic that no one paid attention to or even completely ignored in the entire battle.

Santos, the then President of Colombia, convinced the major shareholders of the Ocean Canal Company through various means, forcing them to give up their shares and eventually transferred them completely to Guo Jinzhang. As for how Santos convinced these guys who were jealous of money... it was just a threat.

Perhaps it was learned by Guo Jinzhang that the Colombian envoy told the major shareholders that according to the agreement between France and Colombia, if the Intermediate Canal Company cannot complete the project within the specified time, Colombia will regain all rights of the canal. Now, the Colombian government is negotiating with the Red Corps about the development of Cologne and the construction of affiliated ports... The implication is to tell the major shareholders of the Intermediate Canal Company that if you continue to persist in possessing the relevant rights of the Panama Canal, then not only will the American railway cause you trouble, but our Colombian

The political party of Biya will become uncooperative, and you will not even be able to use ports... In the face of such a threat, although the shareholders of the Oceanic Canal Company are extremely angry, they have to pay attention. However, unless they use force, they will not be able to force Colombia, let alone Americans. Once they use force, the Red Corps and even Americans will become their opponents... They have no chance of victory. If they are defeated, they will not only lose the Panama Canal, but even French Guinaya will not be able to protect them. You must know that the man named Guo Jinzhang is grinding his fangs.

If the work is blocked, the use of force may suffer a greater loss. What if I ignore it?

That won't work.

Once the time comes, the agreement is invalid and Colombia will take back all rights.

The project period is very long, and it takes twelve years to drag them to death?

Please, Americans have been waiting for this canal for decades, but they can't afford to wait for just a decade? What's more, with Americans, Chinese, and a group of Colombian natives joining forces, can they start construction or not? If construction cannot start, once the five-year counter-test period passes, Colombia can immediately take back all rights according to the agreement. When will this counter-test time expire? Next year

So, no matter how you look at it, selling all the shares quickly while you are not investing enough and making another profit is the best choice. They are businessmen, so there is no need to be thankless for one breath.

So, the Oceanic Canal Company was in the hands of Guo Jinzhang.

While this news satisfied Guo Jinzhang and Columbia, it also made Washington happy.

...

"Those Chinese people almost finished the money they had. They had no chance. The canal will eventually fall into our hands."

James Brian, who had resigned from his position as Secretary of State and was trying to obtain a senator, jumped up almost happily after receiving the news, then quickly rushed to the White House and found Chesert Arthur, who was "enjoying" the last presidential time, intending to discuss with the same unlucky presidential gentleman how to grab the Panama Canal from the Chinese.

However, just as they gathered some people and were discussing the plan to seize the river in a hurry, another news came, which directly shocked them:

Big gold mines are discovered in Alaska
