The reason why the corruption in the United States is noticeable is related to the gradual improvement of the United States' international status. Compared with the United States, other countries in South America are more severely corrupt, but people have never paid attention to South American countries, and these countries are even eligible for negotiation. nothing.

How much can you do for $ 50,000?

In the United States, $ 50,000 can be used to buy the latest phantom sedan, which can buy two senators, or five members of the House of Representatives, or five governors.

If it was in Europe, $ 50,000 could be used to buy a small island, be a free king, and even get the recognition of the sovereign state.

If it is in South America, 50,000 US dollars is enough to form a mercenary to subvert a country to buy an ambassador to a foreign country. Of course, it is more than enough, let alone signing a contract, even if it is treason.

The supplementary agreement similar to that requested by Li Mu is actually similar to treason.

Martinez Silva was indeed unable to resist the temptation of 50,000 dollars. On the day of receiving the check, Martinez Silva signed with the actually retired U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. Supplementary Agreement on the Panama Canal.

This is also the last agreement signed by Ulysses S. Grant.

As expected by Ulysses S. Grant, after the signing of the Supplementary Agreement, Martinez Silva was indeed reprimanded by the President of Colombia, and the Colombian Congress passed a resolution at the same time refusing to recognize the validity of the Supplementary Agreement.

It does n't matter if you do n't pass it. In fact, the impact has already been caused. After the news that the Colombian Congress did not agree with the “Supplementary Agreement” came to the United States, the US public outcry. The Senate announced that it was considering starting the Nicaragua Canal Plan.

Let 's not talk about how Colombians and French think of the United States 'decision to start the Nicaragua Canal plan. Nicaragua agrees with this decision of the United States. The President of Nicaragua immediately decided that he would visit the United States at the end of April, and US President Rutherford Hay Sri Lanka discussed how to build the Nicaragua Canal.

As soon as the news came out, several families were happy and sad, and although the French were anxious, the Colombian government immediately fell into deep fear.

The canal is extremely irreplaceable. Similar to the terrain of the American continent, considering the current shipping capacity, one canal is enough to change the inconvenience of traffic. Whether it is the Panama Canal or the Nicaragua canal, one can be enough, and two are pure waste. Therefore, if the Nicaragua Canal is launched first, then the Panama Canal will not be necessary.

On March 15th, Martinez Silva, who had been removed by the Colombian government, was reactivated. The new post is a special envoy of the President of Colombia, who is fully responsible for discussing with the US government the launch of the Panama Canal plan.

"I had packed my baggage and booked a return ticket to Colombia, but it was re-opened without expectation. Life was really wonderful." At the welcome dinner hosted by Li Mu for Martinez Silva, Martin Ness Silva was filled with emotion.

The Colombian government can also be considered aggrieved. Although it is clear that Martinez Silva played a disgraceful role in the process of signing the Supplementary Agreement with the US government, Martinez Silva is helpless and still If you want to appoint Martinez Silva as special envoy of the president, the strength of the United States in the Americas is undoubtedly revealed in this matter.

"I told you long ago, don't worry, in fact, you don't have to return to Colombia. In New York, I can guarantee your safety, even anywhere in the United States." Li Mu knew Martinez Silva was carrying The seriousness of the signing of the "Supplementary Agreement" between the Colombian government and Ulysses S. Grant has long prepared Martinez Silva for a back road.

With 50,000 dollars, the world is as big as Martinez Silva can go. At the price level at this time, even in New York, Martinez Silva can live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Although the U.S. Senate nominally proposed to consider the Nicaragua Canal, in fact, Li Mu and the Panama Canal Company are still determined to the Panama Canal, so Li Mu now also needs a Panamanian expert, and Martinez Silva is undoubtedly the most suitable. Candidate.

"No, no, no. I am a Colombian. I will not betray my country. Although I signed an agreement with you that is not good for Panama, in fact, in my opinion, only your U.S. government can build the Panama Canal. , Not French diplomats thousands of miles away, that 's why I signed an agreement with you. There is a difference between them. ”Martinez Silva does n't think he made a mistake and is not prepared to follow Li Mu 's Ask to stay in the United States.

It is normal for Martinez Silva to think so. In fact, many people who are too self-conscious always make such mistakes. They only do what they think is right, no matter what others think.

Although in the history known by Li Mu, indeed, as Martinez Silva thought, the French simply could not build the Panama Canal, Martinez Silva carried the Colombian government and Ulysses S. Grant The signing of the Supplementary Agreement was, in fact, that Martinez Silva betrayed the trust of the Colombian government and failed to align with the collective will of the Colombian government. This error is very serious. Unfortunately, Martinez Elva probably never knew it.

"Okay, okay, you're right, let's get back on track and talk about how we can hand over the Panama Canal's excavation and use rights to our Panama Canal Company. It should be noted that our Panama Canal The company requires at least 100 years of use rights. "Li Mubu and Martinez Silva are entangled in this matter, or it is better to say something that everyone is interested in.

"100 years, this is too long, we will not accept such a request." Martinez Silva was firm and refused to go at the pace of Li Mu.

The Panama Canal is a large project. The Panama Canal started in history in 1883 and was opened to navigation in 1914. It lasted for 30 years. Although this caused a lot of time delays due to the problems of the International Canal Company and the constraints of the United States, it also It can reflect the hardship of the Panama Canal.

If the Panama Canal Company takes over the Panama Canal, the time will definitely not be so long, but it will probably be repaired for a decade or so. If it is still the same as the last time, the United States only requires a 20-year period, maybe the canal has not been repaired yet. The deadline is up, and moths will be raised, so it is better to solve all problems at once.

"30 years? How can it be ... Suez Canal has only been built for ten years. The Panama Canal is much shorter than Suez Canal, so it can't be used for more than ten years." Martinez Silva believes that Li Mu exaggerated the construction of the Panama Canal. Difficulty.

The total length of the Suez Canal is 190 kilometers. In terms of length, it is indeed longer than the Panama Canal. However, the French have difficulty in building the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal.

Strictly speaking, the Suez Canal was not built by the French.

According to historical records, probably around 1800 BC, Egypt's 12th dynasty, Pharaoh New Nusert III, ordered the construction of a canal connecting the Red Sea and the Nile.

The canal was abandoned in the 13th century BC during Ramses II.

In the future, the rulers of Egypt rebuilt the canal many times, and the canal also experienced building-improving-destroying this cycle.

In modern times, after Napoleon's failure, France rebuilt France 's second colonial empire. At this time, French colonies in the Americas were occupied by the British, and France was forced to expand east. Therefore, opening the Suez Canal is of great significance to France. Therefore, French talents are among the predecessors. The canal was rebuilt.

Compared to the Suez Canal, an ancient site, the Panama Canal is much younger. Although some people wanted to build a canal that connects the Pacific and the Caribbean, it has never been implemented. Considering the topography of the Panama Isthmus, the difficulty of building the Panama Canal , More than double the Suez Canal.

It is precisely because the difficulty of building the Panama Canal is underestimated that French talents will be tormented by the problem of building the Panama Canal, and the Panama Canal has been in navigation for 30 years.

"... Look, this is the difficulty we face, complicated terrain, inconvenient traffic, rampant diseases, and insufficient manpower. These problems need to be solved one by one, so 20 years is not even enough to complete the canal construction work. Our Panama Canal Company requires 100 years of use. Power is not excessive at all. "Li Mu also insisted that he is concerned about his own interests and no one will easily give in.

"These problems do exist, but they have been gradually resolved. For example, the exploration of the Panama Canal was almost completed 40 years ago, and for example, the transportation problem. We now also have the Panama Railroad available. As for disease and manpower, Don't worry about this. Our Colombian government has enough sincerity to build the Panama Canal even if it is a national effort. "Martinez Silva's reason is equally good.

"The previous exploration work did not make any sense and must be redone. As for the Panama Railroad, which is not under the control of our Panama Canal Company, if we want the Panama Railroad to serve the canal wholeheartedly, we must first complete the acquisition of the Panama Railroad. This will Increasing our costs again. As for manpower and disease, do you think that the canal can be made only by you, Mr. Special Envoy? "Li Mu politely started the mockery mode and first destroyed Martinez Silva's confidence. Then take advantage of the opportunity to lower prices.

"If we can build the Panama Canal with our own strength, then I will not be here ... As for the previous exploration work, I hope that you can respect the lives that have been lost as a result of Mr. Riem." Martinez Elva kept abreast of costs and only chose what was in his favor.

"Even Mr. Special Envoy, you understand that the Panama Canal cannot be built by relying only on the strength of Colombia. Then we must have professionals stationed on the construction site. How can these people's safety be guaranteed? Of course we must respect the lost life, but respect does not It 's equal to accepting the whole thing ... ”Li Mu took out a prepared document and handed it to Martinez Silva, leaning on the back of the chair and said lightly:“ This is an exploration report of our Panama Canal company engineers. The exploration results show that The sea level in the Pacific Ocean is 20 centimeters lower than that in the Caribbean, so the originally designed selevel canals could not be achieved at all. "

This report was completely created by Li Mu according to his own memory, and has nothing to do with the engineers of the Panama Canal Company. If the French were awarded the right to build the canal, then Li Mu would be so busy that he would not take out this report.

Now it's time to change. It's okay to disclose this news to the Colombians in advance. Anyway, the strength of the Colombian government, even if they know this information, they will not be able to design a new canal.

"This ... how is it possible ..." Martinez Silva couldn't accept such a result, but in the face of facts, Martinez Silva had nothing to say.

Martinez Silva knows very well that Li Mu cannot lie on this issue. Now that Li Mu has taken out this report with confidence, the conclusion must be definite.

If it is the same as what Li Mu wrote, then the previous exploration of the isthmus of Panama is really what Li Mu said: worthless.

It is not worthless, at least the previous exploration has a preliminary understanding of the terrain of the Panama Isthmus, which can save the Panama Canal Company a lot of trouble.

However, it is not necessary to tell Martinez Silva directly that shopping malls, such as battlefields, have no good relationship at the wine table. They should be able to pull their faces when they are in Mongolia, and they can be when they are in this pit. Got it.

"Even so, 100 years is too long ..." Although Li Mu had agreed with his heart, Martinez Silva was still unable to accept Li Mu's request.

"If it's not 100 years ..." Li Mu frowned, seeming to be extremely embarrassed, as if he had suffered a huge loss: "... then 99 years will be fine."

Martinez Silva's mood had just relaxed a little bit, and then she couldn't stop laughing and crying.

What is the difference between 100 and 99 years? This is not shopping mall pricing, some tips, and implementation of the mantissa pricing method is more in line with people's psychological expectations and makes it easier for people to accept.

"I haven't finished it. If our Panama Canal Company is willing to continue to lease the Panama Canal after the expiry date, then your Colombian government cannot refuse our legitimate request from the Panama Company." Rhythm.

"Impossible, we will never accept such a request." Martinez Silva shook his head like a rattle. If Martinez Silva agreed to Li Mu's request, then Martinez Sil Wa just like Li Mu said, there is no need to go back to Colombia.

Going back is also the life of the guillotine.
