At the section of the Panama Canal near the Atlantic Ocean, Qin Changfeng had not been so nervous in many years. He could even feel sweat oozing out of his palms.
His eyes were fixed on the canal in the distance, where the merchant ships had already entered the lock.
According to their original design, this section required the locks to be opened, lowering the water level to allow ships to pass.
But no matter how much the water level has dropped now, this thing looks more or less magical.
If the water level drops too much, the merchant ship may hit the bottom, which is something no one wants to see.
Qin Changfeng watched the water level slowly drop, watching helplessly as the ship dropped in height in his field of vision.
When it drops to a certain height, the gate opens.
Qin Changfeng watched the boat pole move forward, slowly crossing the river and entering another gate.
In his eyes, the ship was like an old man descending the stairs, cautious but very safe.
Finally sailing out of the Panama Canal with his sight!
Seeing this scene, Qin Changfeng was so excited that his body and mind trembled. The Panama Canal they built was successful!
This is a world-class project supervised by him, and its difficulty is several times that of building the Suez Canal.
Such a project is now completed in his hands.
Qin Changfeng could not hide his excitement, and the construction workers on both sides of the canal shed tears of excitement when they saw the successful construction of the Panama Canal.
The successful construction of this canal will bring unprecedented development to the surrounding areas, and no one can ignore all this development.
And such an epoch-making canal was built in their hands.
The Spanish spies lurking among the crowd felt even more anxious and humiliated after seeing the successful construction of the Panama Canal.
When they first built a colony in Panama, they not only thought about building a canal here to open the pass between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
But this idea did not succeed.
The Spanish government at that time thought that it would cost an unknown amount of money to build this canal, but now it is seen that Long Yan is building the canal here.
This is simply more uncomfortable than losing money themselves.
But now, this is an indisputable fact, and they no longer have the ability to continue to dictate this area.
Spain now also had to worry about troops from the Portuguese colonies.
I live in fear every day.
France and Britain also received the news at about this time.
The Panama Canal is opened!
After learning that Long Yan had established a city-state in Panama, they were very afraid.
Richard even learned that Long Yan was building the Panama Canal here, and immediately launched an attack on Long Yan's army.
But such an attack obviously did not take Long Yan's troops seriously.
In the end, the French failed and lost large parts of their important colonies.
Now the French are looking at this canal that has shrunk their colony because the French have suffered huge losses but did not take it down.
They felt even more aggrieved, but they no longer had enough ability to continue fighting against the Long Yan Army.
Even now they still need to shake hands with Long Yan's army and make peace in exchange for Long Yan's weapons.
Use these weapons to defend against their feud, their true enemy, Britain!
The British were also hidden among them, and they watched the construction of the Panama Canal succeed.
There was even more envy, jealousy and hatred in my heart!
Britain and Long Yan fought for control of the Suez Canal in Egypt, but unfortunately they failed.
They were defeated by the Longyan people, and more importantly, the two countries have now become allies.
For the canal built by Long Yan in Panama that can connect the two oceans, the British people have no good solution even if they are greedy.
But now they have the capital to negotiate terms with Long Yan on the Panama Canal.
They have already built the Dreadnought class battleship.
He already has enough ability to compete with Long Yan.
But not now, but after the problem with France is completely resolved.
Only then can they truly discuss the next conditions with Long Yanjun.
…
"General, do you really want to let people from those countries covet our Panama Canal?"
Qin Changfeng smiled and said: "This is what Mr. Qing Yangshuo means. Don't pay attention to them. Let's continue doing whatever we need to do."
After hearing this sentence, no one will continue to pursue these foreign spies.
Qin Changfeng did this intentionally. They just wanted to let outsiders know that Long Yan had now built the Panama Canal.
And it can be promoted unscrupulously.
I’m not afraid of you coming to destroy me!
For Long Yan, they paid a very high price to build the Panama Canal.
If the Panama Canal built cannot be profitable, any golden waterway will be nonsense to them.
That's why Qing Yangshuo wants to let those countries that need to pass through this waterway know.
But regarding their covetousness, in front of the powerful Longyan Navy, they didn't know what it meant to be afraid of fighting.
This time, the purpose is to let those young people who want to cause trouble know that Long Yan's things are not so easy to obtain.
Qin Changfeng ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare for military exercises and let them all know how powerful our Long Yan Army is."
"yes!"
The soldiers under his hands vibrated and shouted.
The spies sent by these countries to spy on intelligence looked at the ships getting closer and closer on the coast, and their expressions changed drastically.
This is Long Yan’s supply ship, and there are as many as three of them!
Surrounding this supply ship is a patrol ship strike group. This kind of troop configuration is currently not available in Britain and France.
Long Yan's ships now all use steam-powered structures, which are much more powerful than those traditional wooden-hulled ships.
At this time, commands were issued from the supply ship, and the spies looked at the target ship traveling in the distance.
At that moment, Long Yan's patrol ship strike group launched a frantic attack.
At this point, the target was completely destroyed in just one moment!
When the target ship approached, these spies clearly discovered that for this military exercise, Long Yan had actually set the target into a supply ship.
Judging from the degree of fragmentation, this supply ship was directly torn into pieces by the patrol ship strike group just now.
And not only that, this acting battle took less than a minute from start to finish.
God, this is unbelievable to the French who have faced the horror of supply ships.
Back then, their fleet had more powerful firepower than the Dragon Flame Army's troops.
Their troops had no way of breaking through the supply ship's defense.
At that time their troops attacked for a long time.
It wasn't until the end that an ambush was used to sink a Long Yan supply ship, but even so. They also paid an even heavier price, and all the troops who attacked the supply ship were wiped out.
