This world-famous war was fought like a joke from the beginning. It would be a fantasy to expect two feuding countries, scattered warlords, and politicians to work together to resist the invaders, let alone this time.
The two invaders were not the French who had been bleeding themselves to exhaustion in the original history. The German and Russian army soldiers transferred from the Philippines, under the cover of tsunami-like naval gunfire, boarded landing ships and easily rushed to Port-au-Prince and Port-au-Prince.
Beaches in Santo Domingo.
The black devils and the soldiers with black and white hybrids holding old-fashioned black powder rifles that had been phased out by the US military resisted on the beaches of their respective capitals for less than half an hour and then dispersed. Immediately afterwards, Germany and Russia
The two armies easily captured their respective objectives, and then began to enter the hot, humid, yellow fever-infested jungle just as the warriors of the two countries expected.
Investors all over the world stared at the remote jungle with wide eyes, and the eyes of the Haitian and Dominican soldiers in the jungle almost popped out. These alien colonists came and went as freely as they did in the jungle.
It's no longer important. What's important is why didn't they fall ill one by one like the French?
In the jungle battle that lasted for a whole month, the 40,000-strong German-Russian expeditionary force was alive and kicking except for less than 100 people who died of tropical epidemics such as yellow fever, cholera, and malaria, 300 people who died in combat, and 200 people who were injured.
Withdrew to Port-au-Prince and Saint-Domingue, especially the most high-profile yellow fever, the infection rate was less than 1 in 10,000. In fact, there were only three cases of death from the disease, not even those who died of poisoning due to excessive spraying of organophosphorus.
many.
Thirteen people died of poisoning due to excessive pesticide spraying, all of them Russians. The Germans, who are strict by nature, did not suffer such ridiculous situations. However, hundreds of soldiers from Haiti and the two countries died from eating fruits sprinkled with organophosphorus. Of course,
There are also a large number of wild animals that have suffered unreasonable disasters.
This strange situation soon helped Germany and Russia completely conquer the island, especially in Haiti, which was under the responsibility of the Germans, who generally had little cultural knowledge. For this reason, they even regarded these colonists as
God, there will be no good results in fighting the gods. The niggas chose to surrender very wisely.
Dominica's resistance also did not last long. The country's population was already small, so how could it withstand such a blow? Only half a month after Haiti surrendered to the Germans, after a fratricidal fight within Dominica, Eru was originally
One of his officers killed the dictator and then surrendered to the Russians. Two puppet states, each subordinate to the Kaiser and the Russian Emperor, were quickly established. In addition, the new Kingdom of Haiti government established the small northern town of Port-de-France and its surrounding areas.
One hundred square kilometers of land was leased to China for a period of fifty years. From then on, they began to live a beautiful colonial life again.
Of course, no one cares about their fate at this time. For those Tyrannosaurus rex, these two little animals have completed their historical mission. After the experiment, no one will take a look at the white mice.
After learning that Yang Feng's vaccine was indeed very effective, the Panama Canal project immediately became the hottest topic in the international capital market. The new Panama Canal Company was officially established in London. The original French Panama Canal Company, Chinese Emperor Yang Feng, and Russian Emperor Nicholas
Ra II each owns 20% of the shares, and the British Baron Rothschild and Deutsche Bank each hold 10% of the shares. The remaining part is sold in the form of stocks on the British and German stock markets.
Then there is the issue of local control in Panama. Because the French Panama Canal Company has an agreement with the Colombian government, they have the right to dig the canal. However, because they cannot complete the project within the contract period, the agreement between the two parties is on the verge of being invalidated. In theory,
The New Panama Canal Company, which takes over this project, needs grace from the Colombian government. But now these five companies are in no mood to discuss this kind of issue with this kind of cat and dog.
What Yang Feng meant was to simply let the Panama region become independent from Colombia and establish a country of their own for the Panamanians. The canal company would lease the entire canal excavation area to them, and then use some of the profits to send them away every year. If the Colombian government disagrees,
Then there is no need to be polite to them.
This proposal was unanimously agreed by the other four companies. As for the remaining specific operational issues, it can be carried out by the people below. In addition, the supporting construction machinery must be purchased from Yang Feng, as well as various medicines.
The yellow fever vaccine is naturally his. The cholera vaccine was already available at this time, but it is not as effective as Yang Feng's, so it must be his. Quinine is easy to handle, but there is no other. Yang Feng's antibiotics are also considered miracle drugs.
Naturally, the level cannot be used casually on these workers. Besides, if thousands of people die in such a big project, it is not worth mentioning. The construction machinery must be purchased from the Yang Group. Even if this thing is produced in other countries, the quality
It can't be compared with Yang's consortium. In this way, Yang Fengguang actually earned back his investment by selling medicines and machinery.
In addition, there are security issues. The army cannot be sent to protect this thing. Although the five partnerships are already dominant in this world, everyone still has to save face, right? Then a mercenary team must be organized. The number
It cannot be less, there must be at least several thousand people, and they must be permanent. This permanent means forever.
The best way to do this is to set up a security company under the canal company, but before that, Umbrella Company can only take charge of it. In addition to security, there are also transportation issues, which can be easily solved. There is no shortage of ships in Europe.
There is also a railway there, which was built by Americans and later sold to the French.
In fact, Americans have been thinking about this canal for more than half a century. They have been working hard, including building a railway there, as preparations for this. They were even about to reach an agreement with the Colombian government. However, the Civil War brought everything to a halt.
They were all disrupted. The French took advantage of the situation and almost lost their pants in compensation. In recent years, the United States has recovered and started to care about the canal again. The Spanish-American War pushed them back again. They can't blame the American people for being like that.
Anger and decades of hard work kicked these guys aside.
In addition to these, there are also technical problems. When Emperor Yang, who had never been to Panama, took out a complete set of canal drawings, including the design of the locks, the European engineers were stunned. They really could not imagine this noble emperor.
Your Majesty, while completing artistic creations, scientific inventions, and ups and downs, how on earth did you complete such a huge engineering design? Even if you have hundreds of clones, it is probably impossible to complete so many things.
"This is just a preliminary plan. You can study it first. I will send a group of Chinese engineers to work with you. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved during the construction process, you can report them directly to me and I will help you solve them.
Yes, when it comes to digging canals, who has more experience than us Chinese." Yang Feng said to the chief engineer and a group of technicians who came specially from Europe.
The chief engineer almost cried when he looked at the dozen or so big boxes of drawings in front of him. This is still called a preliminary plan. If it is not a preliminary plan, how many drawings do you have to prepare? After they returned to Europe carrying the drawings, the Panama Canal plan was officially
Entering the construction stage, General Motors, Yang Power and the newly built Great Wall Heavy Industries in Guangzhou will be responsible for all construction machinery at the same time. Of course, these small things do not need to be concerned by His Majesty the Emperor.
Panama's independence issue was unanimously supported by the Panamanian people. Soon after the first batch of construction machinery arrived, Panama declared independence from Colombia and signed an agreement with the Canal Company. The Canal Company obtained the right to dig and operate the Panama Canal.
As well as the ownership of land within fifteen kilometers on both sides of the canal, the canal company is allowed to have an armed security force of no more than 5,000 people. After completion, it will pay 50,000 pounds to the Panamanian government every year. In addition, no taxes or fees are required.
pay.
Anyway, the Panamanian government is self-aware and knows how huge the power behind the canal company is. They can directly rule this land with just one sentence. Now it is a great thing to reward themselves with some scraps, not to mention that others will give them back.
It would be a joke for Panama to become independent without them.
The Colombian government was extremely angry about Panama's independence and even claimed to use force to deal with the rebels. Unfortunately, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China recognized the Republic of Panama as quickly as possible and announced that they would jointly provide protection for Panama if Colombia dared to invade.
This country, then just wait for the wrath of these Tyrannosaurus rexes!
Before the Colombian government could take any actual action, the German and Russian armies, which had just ended the war in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, including the Chinese fleet stationed in the Port of Peace in Haiti, aggressively sailed to the Colombian coast, especially since it included a whole
Ten landing ships filled with soldiers means that once the Colombian army dares to enter Panama, the three-nation coalition will be ready to land and beat them.
From the perspective of various countries, the Colombian government can only swallow this breath this time. After all, even China, which is the weakest among them, is not qualified to provoke them. They can crush them to death with just a finger.
However, what happened next was shocking. After half a month of mobilization, the Colombian army actually entered Panama.
"Interesting, there is support behind this!" Emperor Yang looked at the telegram in his hand and said with a smile. (To be continued...)
