Seeing Long Yan displaying his military power unscrupulously, even these hostile countries.
I also have to admit that Long Yan is powerful at sea.
Countries like France, after seeing the strength of Long Yan's navy, directly gave up the idea of seizing the Panama Canal by force.
After all, it really can’t be beaten.
As for the Briton, he felt hesitant and uneasy in his heart. He didn't know whether his newly developed fearless-class battleship could escape unscathed when facing such a dragon flame fleet.
What will happen when facing the Long Yan Army's strike group?
He didn't know or think clearly about it.
However, the size of their current British troops is absolutely incapable of being like the Long Yan Army, who could use a genuine supply ship as a demonstration prop.
After the Dreadnought-class battleship was put into production, no second one has been built until now.
Under such circumstances, Britain does not dare to think too much about the Panama Canal, at least for the time being.
He must weigh his own weight, whether he can defeat Long Yan's army, and whether the Dreadnought-class battleship he owns is a threat to Long Yan?
He couldn't think clearly, so he could only hide what was going on in the Panama Canal, and of course everything that happened on the Panama Canal today.
He will report it truthfully.
…
France soon received news from Yuncheng.
After receiving the news, Richard summoned Fang Dalong and Wan Shang at the speed of light.
Richard had ideas about the Panama Canal. When he saw Fang Dalong and Wan Shang, he asked with certainty: "Is there any way for you two to let us get a share of the Panama Canal?"
Wan Shang: "..."
Fang Dalong: "..."
"Sir, do you think we can do something about the Panama Canal with the two of us?"
After the information was made public, the two of them naturally learned about the Panama Canal.
The two of them sighed in unison, wondering what Richard was thinking.
They actually think that the two of them can find a way for them to get a share of the Panama Canal.
Richard sighed: "Isn't it just on a waterway that our merchant ships can pass through? This shouldn't be difficult."
The two of them were very helpless, why did they feel that Richard was so irritating when he spoke.
It feels so natural.
Wan Shang and Fang Dalong knew very well what price Long Yancheng had paid to build the Panama Canal.
Why do you, France, feel that such a difficult thing is just a matter of words?
"Sir, give up this idea. If you really want to talk to Long Yan about canal cooperation, then go and talk in person."
"The two of us can't do this."
"The two of us are just gathering intelligence."
Richard had no choice but to let Wan Shang and Fang Dalong go back.
…
On the other side, Clincy convened the Supreme Council in the British Colony.
The only question raised at this meeting was about the Panama Canal.
Clancy stuck to his guns.
He still believes that Britain now has more ships and more powerful battleships.
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 explains 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 maintained 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, it is 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 praised.
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 ridiculous to even think about taking a piece 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 Panama Canal is comparable to the Suez Canal 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, delaying 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.
At this time, George came to Longyan City.
