It is not difficult to get Long Yan to hand over part of his rights to the Panama Canal.
But after the people in the military department received the letter from the spies, they tried their best to dissuade them from any unrealistic ideas.
The military people saw the information recorded above that Long Yan's troops only dispatched a strike group and instantly destroyed a supply ship. Faced with such force, if our troops choose to take action.
We must consider the possibility of defeating Long Yan.
At present, they have only built one Dreadnought-class battleship, but Long Yan made four of them at once, and even destroyed one without mercy.
This shows their attitude.
Even the imaginary enemy was their own ship, and they did not take Britain's Dreadnought-class battleships into consideration at all.
"We believe that now is not the best time to be tough with Long Yan. If Long Yan attacks us, with our current maritime power, it is very likely that we will lose everything!"
But Clancy always insisted on his view that this was a negotiation.
It is not a threat of force.
The Military Department said: "Negotiations are possible, but the most we can do is ask Long Yan to allow our ships to pass here. As for other ideas, they are not realistic for us."
"General, you also know that we still have to fight the French army."
Clincy breathed out, interrupted the military department mercilessly, and said coldly: "What I'm talking about is the power to pass, but it's a route. George has already set off, let him talk.
If we can't agree, let's talk about other things."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
The meeting broke up unhappy in the end. The military could no longer bear Clancy's stubbornness.
But now it is impossible for them to fall out with Clancy.
And at the other end is Longyan City.
Qing Yangshuo received the news of the opening of the Panama Canal, which was also news worth celebrating for him.
"It's good that it's activated, it's good that it's activated..." Qing Yangshuo exclaimed in admiration.
The opening of the Panama Canal marked the further strengthening of Long Yan's control in the Americas, and Long Yan finally had a place to display his powerful naval power.
But while receiving this message, Qing Yangshuo also received other messages.
Seeing these countries jumping like this when facing the Panama Canal, Qing Yangshuo smiled coldly.
In his opinion, these countries are nothing more than chickens and dogs.
It’s simply ridiculous to even think about taking a share of the pie!
However, Qing Yangshuo still allowed cooperation from some countries. After the opening of the Panama Canal, the countries in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean were most affected.
These people are also Long Yancheng’s biggest partners.
After all, the construction of the Panama Canal consumed Longyan City's endless resources. If Longyan was the only country to occupy this canal, it would not be of great significance.
Therefore, the joining of other countries is a good thing for Long Yan.
The reason why the Suez Canal is so important is not just because it is the throat of Mediterranean countries and controls the lifeblood of many Mediterranean countries.
The reason why the Panama Canal is comparable to the Suez Canal is naturally for the same reason.
Although the Panama Canal does not control the lifeblood of any country, it has greatly reduced the distance between two oceans and two worlds.
It is of immeasurable value to the economy and development of various countries.
In Qing Yangshuo's vision, the Panama Canal is regarded as an open canal, and ships from all countries can pass through it.
They, Long Yan, only need to charge a small fee to make a lot of money.
Qing Yangshuo believes that no country can refuse the convenience gained in exchange for such a fee. If they did not use the Panama Canal, they would have to go around more than 3,000 kilometers and be delayed by one to two months.
It is also because of such conditions that Britain wants to come to the Panama Canal to get a share of the pie.
