Disraelli doesn't have the extra time to think about anything strange. He is really determined to participate in the construction of the Panama Canal.∮,

You know, this construction is not a waste of time. No one in the world is so stupid. So, as long as you participate in the construction, will the benefits come in the future?

Moreover, the canal project, let alone Panama, just talk about the Suez Canal built by France. It is not easy. The company was established in 1858, but now it is 1867 and the canal has not been completed. Although it is said that it is getting faster, it has been almost ten years.

In other words, it is very clear that the American Empire built the Panama Canal and could not be built immediately. Moreover, this is Panama, and this place is very sensitive!

It was very early, not long after the discovery of the New World in Spain, Spain wanted to build this canal, but the Spanish saw that there was silver on Mexico and the other side of America, there was almost nothing, so the canal was not done. Later, it was interesting.

Many people can see that Panama is so good, this place is so critical!

What a gold rush!

Because of the gold rush, many political forces have been involved. The reason is very simple. There are benefits and huge benefits!

How great is this benefit?

It’s still the rich man, Vanderbilt. You see, he is not a country title, but a businessman, and he makes a lot of money. What if he does it based on the background of the country?

Therefore, this Panama is really tempting. But, the Panama before was in the United States of Colombia, now called New Granada, and later they fought a civil war... To be honest, this civil war may have something to do with the Panama river.

Costa Rica, the British colony, is on top, while France, Spain, and the United States are competing.

But unexpectedly, Clint Lee made these things more complicated, or in other words, simple.

Complexity is for the European and American powers. But simple, it is naturally that Panama has become the place of the American Empire, so naturally everything will be easier for us.

To be honest, Li Mengyang probably didn't know. He picked peaches by chance...

The current situation has experienced another big battle. The British also came over and got involved. They felt that it might be an opportunity to attack Panama.

Needless to say, we encountered trenches on land and ironclad ships on sea...

The United Kingdom is very interesting. They are now superpowers, but because of their own conservative attributes, many things are not easily tried. For example, the Iron Crafts, they did it, but they didn't do much, and there was a Warrior, which was the same as the French Glory. This time the British dared not take it out, and the latest Monarch has not yet been in service, but the Monarch is also there and has not been any advancement.

As a result, this trip, not only did I say that I didn’t steal the chicken, but I also threw away a handful of rice, and my own Costa Rica was thrown away!

But now, there is an opportunity to make up for it. If Costa Rica is lost, it will be lost. If you can participate in the Panama Canal project, then the loss of Costa Rica is really nothing.

Therefore, Disraelli must now come up with a way to deal with the emperor of the American Empire and solve his national sentiment as a Han Chinese. This is necessary. Then, Disraelli's method will of course include the yes vote!

But is this ticket enough for the sovereignty of Mexico that was sent to me?

"Mr. Disraelli, you know that Mexico is now in the hands of our empire. In fact, before I came, Your Majesty's attitude was very tough. Did you see that Master Huang San? He is Your Majesty's father-in-law. They are all of the same type of people, and Your Majesty is even tougher than Master Huang San. To put it bluntly, Mexico is mine anyway, so what if you don't give it to me?"

This is Liszt's answer, that is, a yes ticket is not enough to see at all, so how many more do it needs to be done?

Before the voting, after the voting, Disraelli looked for a day to entertain Liszt.

...

"Mr. Lister, I have obtained the Queen's understanding as quickly as possible about Panama. Let me put it this way, I convinced Her Majesty that Her Majesty would issue a statement, which is to make some statements about the previous two wars... You know, some of our soldiers did not perform well in those two wars, and they were a little too savage."

Alas, this is interesting. Disraelli's meaning is probably that this is not an apology.

The UK should actually apologize to the Qing Dynasty because of the Yafan War, but you should know that this matter is not easy. Although the British condemn the act of burning the Old Summer Palace, they are protecting their children outside!

So what does this mean?

"I don't understand." Liszt said very simply, and the implication was to tell Disraelli and explain it clearly.

"This way..." Disraelli was forced to have no choice. "The Queen will say to His Majesty Clint Lee I of the American Empire, the Queen expressed regret for the immoral behavior in the war, and further stated that there will be no war between us and the American Empire..."

Before Disraelli could finish his words, Liszt immediately inserted it, "Isn't it so insincere?"

Yes, just apologize if you apologize. Why do you want to do this? What is "regret"? Why don't you just say it?

"This..." Disraelli's face looked bad. In fact, he knew that this was the biggest concession the queen could make.

You should know that the previous war was not fought against your American Empire, but you are mainly Chinese, but the problem is that from the perspective of countries... in this matter, first of all, we must admit that the American Empire is a country... Britain does not need to apologize to the American Empire. It is completely unnecessary. It is also to the Qing Dynasty to apologize.

So. This is actually a big concession, and it also gave the American Empire a great sweetness to Mexico, which is international recognition!

You have to know that this is the recognition of Britain. If Britain admits it, the superpowers will nod. What else can I say about other countries in the world?

However, Liszt is still not satisfied with this...

Actually, this guy Liszt is pretending!

You know, Liszt is not a diplomat. He has never done diplomacy. He used to be a liar, and he was the most tricked!

From the perspective of fooling people, now that the other party is regressing, I can't nod immediately, because maybe I can get more things in the future.

Anyway, if you cheat once, are you still afraid of being a little bitch? The bigger the better! It’s all a cheat!

Disraelli didn't know what Liszt did before. So he felt that the guy in front of him was a bit too much. But, if this matter was not done, it seemed a bit... I gave him all the yes tickets before.

Then let some more?

Disraelli thought about it and suddenly had an idea. He said, "Mr. Liszt, your majesty is a Chinese, so he will definitely like some things from the Qing Dynasty. Some words are not nice, but there are some calligraphy and paintings here in our British Empire..."

No need to say this anymore. Everyone understands it. It’s just the treasures I made when burning the Old Summer Palace!

In fact, these things are not worth much in the eyes of British people. He knew some of the porcelains, but they couldn't appreciate calligraphy and paintings, so they snatched auctions at that time. The calligraphy and paintings were basically not worth more than 20 pounds.

So, Disraelli didn't feel sorry for him.

Liszt laughed as soon as he heard this. Sure enough, this old guy still has something to do, so let's get it!

You can't force it too ruthlessly. If you are too ruthless, this scam will be... Oh, no, we are engaged in diplomacy. Diplomacy, the relationship between the two countries should be maintained well.

So Liszt smiled and said, "Disraelli really knows my Majesty better than me. It's great, very good."

"Haha..." Can Disrael still not understand?

Come on, this deal is settled!

The next thing is some details. Lister and Disraelli promised that the British Empire could participate in the construction of the Panama Canal, and there must be no problem.

Why can Liszt decide this? He is just an ambassador? Does he have the right?

You really don’t know, he really has this right, because this right was told by Liszt before leaving, Li Mengyang, the emperor, personally!

Yes, I just agreed early in the morning that Liszt will go out to see who is interested in the Panama Canal. If you are interested, you can bring in, such as the British!

This guy Li Mengyang actually thought about it early in the morning. What are the reasons why the British wanted to do this London Peace Conference?

On the one hand, it may be that Britain has some problems now, so they will not pursue such a distant place.

But, more importantly, the British want to gain benefits!

So where are the interests? Let's talk about it, do our American Empire have any common interests with the British?

Basically, there is nothing, and both of us are doing business with the Qing Dynasty, so we are simply competitors!

So, this benefit must not be in business, but in other places. Look at it, that is, Panama, and the previous Costa Rica incident proves this?

So since that is the case, everyone's interests are here, so there is a lot to talk about.

But, one thing is true, and it is difficult for Li Mengyang to get over it. That is, the British fought two Yafan wars with us Chinese, but they bullied us Chinese. Are you, Li Mengyang, want to cooperate with the British now?

It should be said that Li Mengyang himself also felt something was wrong, so he knew better that if this matter was not handled well, then the orthodoxy of his "Han Emperor" would be challenged.

But, seeing that there is something beneficial to it, don’t you do it anymore?

Building a canal. Although we have the strong engineering capabilities of Chinese workers, and the empire's money... is a bit tight, and there are too many subsidies. It is not easy to build a canal in this era. If you want to be fast and good, you must do your best to ensure safety. Can you do it without money?

So, we really have to introduce foreign capital.

There is another key issue. In fact, the British actually have many small islands and military bases in the Caribbean Sea, with many people, ships, and guns.

So, if you don’t deal with the British, you can’t do this business by relying on your own ironclad ship. Then the actual effect of this Panama Canal is not great!

When Li Mengyang talked about this issue, he instructed Liszt to at least give the British an attitude. Although these British guys are very arrogant, as long as they make a little statement, they can do it.

The situation is very good now. The British actually expressed their intention to reconcile to the American Empire, that is, the emperor Li Mengyang. This is not easy. And if it really happens, then internationally, the orthodox nature of the emperor Li Mengyang may be greater than that of the Qing Dynasty.

Look, the British people who cannot be handled by the Qing Dynasty, our American Empire has been handled by the United States! (To be continued...)
