Holy Roman Empire

After the situation was broken, the chaos did not occur in the outside world's expectation, and only the three countries of England, France, Austria and France were the real hands to seize the colony.

It is not that other colonial empires do not want to compete, but mainly because of lack of strength, it is good to be able to hold the existing territory, and they simply cannot compete.

It ’s a good thing to have fewer competitors.If it is resolved through negotiations, I am afraid that Anglo-French Olympics will not be able to eat single food.

The seemingly absurd behavior of the London government is actually well thought out.It is only the small countries whose interests have been damaged, and everyone can only hold back even if they have resentment in their hearts.

Vienna Palace

Foreign Minister Weissenberg: "Your Majesty, just after the news from South America, the French are in contact with the Colombian government and are preparing to restart the Panama Canal program."

Franz frowned: "Do you know the true purpose of the French?"

The Panama Canal is desperate. The plan has been in existence for hundreds of years, but progress has not been smooth.

As early as 1534, the Spaniards sent people to carry out exploration. In order to dig the canal, a post road was also built.Only because of the outbreak of the European War, the plan died.

In 1814, the Spaniards restarted the canal plan, unfortunately a colonial uprising broke out again, and the plan died again.

The Republic of Colombia also has a canal plan, but after Austria occupies the Central American region, the plan died again.

From the standpoint of the Republic of Colombia, the opening of the Panama Canal can certainly bring huge economic benefits, but strategically they face greater pressure.

Everyone is not guilty, he is guilty.

Before the canal opened, the Panama area was of limited value and was not worth prying to.Once the canal is open to navigation, the situation will change. How can the Republic of Colombia rely on the Panama region?

Count on the French?

This is probably to lead the wolf into the room. When the time comes for the Panama area, France is absolutely indispensable.

Foreign Minister Weisenberg: "At present we have insufficient information to determine the true purpose of the French.

On the surface, it seems to be spontaneous behavior by the capitalists. The French government did not come forward. This may be a temptation."

Franz nodded, which should be the most reasonable explanation.

Austria has been operating in Central America for two decades, and it is now deeply entrenched, and its forces have long penetrated the Panama region.

Since the French failed in Mexico, their influence in the Americas has plummeted, and it is almost impossible to compete with Austria.

Although the benefits of excavating the Panama Canal are large, the risks are even greater.Once Austria sends troops to seize the Panama area, their investment is not to say that all of them are drifting, and most of the shrinkage is likely to happen.

After thinking about it, Franz said: "No matter what the French want to do, ignore them. Once the canal plan is launched, create an excuse to declare war with Colombia and directly capture the Panama area."

Under the butterfly effect of Franz, the international situation has changed beyond recognition.Familiarity with the advantages of history is long gone.

Without the advantage of the prophet, we can only respond to changes now.What the French want to do is uncertain, but it is true that the Panama Canal is not allowed to be opened.

...

In the Republic of Colombia, since the French proposed to open the Panama Canal, President Aguileo Para Gomez had a headache.

The huge economic value brought by the opening of the Panama Canal is naturally clear, but the prerequisite is that Colombia has the strength to hold it.

Austria ’s penetration of Colombia is no secret, especially in Panama, where the highest proportion of the local population is German.

With so many leading parties, once war breaks out, the Panama area may fall in a few days.Everyone knows the hidden danger, but no one dares to deal with it.

There are many contradictions within the Republic of Colombia. In the past 13 years, the twelve presidents have been changed, and on average they have been changed once a year.

President Aguileo Pala Gomez did not consider addressing this issue.Austria has not been aiming at them, it is already lucky, who dares to take the initiative to cause trouble!

The arrival of the French detonated the problem under this cover.Every day, domestic capitalists advocate the benefits of opening the Panama Canal, without taking into account the accompanying risks.

Of course, opening the Panama Canal from the standpoint of capitalists is indeed very beneficial. Even if the Panama area is lost, it will not affect their business.

The capitalists in Colombia are not purely local national capitalists. The dominant ones are still compradors. The shadows of countries such as Britain, France, America, and the West all exist.

Aguileo Para Gomez: "Mr. Nino, you can't agree to the canal plan that you put forward.

Unless your government comes forward to persuade the Austrians, otherwise we cannot restart the Panama Canal plan, which is related to our territorial strategic security."

Nino smiled slightly: "His President, the Austrians are aggressive and have penetrated the Panama area. Don't you want to get rid of the Austrian threat?

As long as the Panama Canal is opened, your country will have the canal as a bargaining chip, and the major European powers will not watch Austria control the golden waterway.

After the introduction of all forces, the Austrians must consider the positions of European countries even if they want to start.

The government of Vienna is not a madman. A Panama Canal is not enough to risk them. The risks are not as great as you think."

Whatever Nino confuses, Aguileo Para Gomez is indifferent.No matter how nice the French say, they are castles in the sky.

After the opening of the Panama Canal, all parties may indeed prevent Austria from monopolizing the canal, but this does not mean that the Republic of Colombia will be allowed to take charge of the canal.

Not to mention, did the French spend so much energy, not to get the dominance of the Panama Canal?

Aguileo Para Gomez has self-knowledge. With the strength of the Republic of Colombia, there is simply no way to get the canal dominance, not even the economic power.

Without sufficient benefits, why should he take risks!Austria is not a soft persimmon. If the Viennese government is angered, what if you beat them first?

This year, a big fist is axiom.Weakness is the original sin. Aguileo Para Gomez doesn't think the French will turn their backs for Colombia and Austria.

Aguileo Para Gomez: "Mr. Nino, this is only your personal judgment and does not represent the position of European governments.

The Panama Canal just stayed in theory. We sent people to do surveys and wanted to dig a grand canal in the Panama area. It was not that simple.

Your country has dug the Suez Canal, you should know the difficulty of the canal construction.The situation in Panama is even worse, and the investment required is very large.

If the consent of the Austrians cannot be obtained, they will cause trouble and the canal may never be navigable.

It is impossible for European countries to stand on the opposite side of Austria for a non-navigable canal. Even your country may not necessarily support us."

This is the core of the problem, and the value of the Panama Canal can only be reflected after it is open to navigation.There is nothing now. If you want to get everyone's support by relying on your mouth, you are simply insulting everyone's IQ.

The area where Central America can dig canals is not limited to Panama.Only in comparison with other places, the strait of Panama is the narrowest.

This is an advantage, but it also has disadvantages. For example, there are many poisonous insects in Panama, which will threaten the lives of excavators.

In this era, human life is really worthless, but large-scale casualties will still increase costs.

The French may not have discovered these problems, and absolutely cannot conceal the Republic of Colombia as a ground snake, otherwise they will not give up developing this golden waterway.

Nino knew that white wolves with empty gloves were impossible. There were no substantial benefits, and it was difficult for the Colombian government to cooperate.

"Your Excellency, as long as your country grants us the right to develop the canal, these issues are no longer a problem.

You can rest assured that the investment required for the Canal Plan is so large that we cannot let our funds float.

In return, we are willing to persuade BNP Paribas to provide your country with interest-free loans of 100 million francs to help your country weather the economic crisis."

Aguileo Pala Gomez's face was somber, and this is where it helped, clearly counted them, and wanted to take advantage of the fire.

After the spread of the economic crisis, European countries such as Anglo-French and European countries have dumped surplus domestic products at low prices overseas. South America is one of the hardest hit areas, and the Republic of Colombia is naturally unable to protect itself.
