The U.S. government has been watching Panama for a long time, a few decades ago, even if the U.S. government at that time was not able to build the Panama Canal, the U.S. government still tried to get the right to dig the Panama Canal, I can't get it, no one can think of it, if it weren't for Li Mu and their group of tycoons, probably the U.S. government would have to wait for more than ten years before the French could not sustain it.

Now the situation is different, with the aircraft in service, the exploration of the Panama Canal is proceeding rapidly, it is possible for the US government to own the Panama Canal more than ten years in advance, it can be said that the US government has never been so close to the Panama Canal, such an opportunity the US government certainly cannot let go.

Of course, dreams are dreams, reality is reality, Li Mu and their group of tycoons are not so easy to handle, they want to grab meat from the mouth of the canal company to eat, and it depends on whether Hayes has the ability.

"The Panamanian model is very good, and it gives us more possibilities, and we can make more useful attempts, and if we can get the local government of Panama and the central government of Colombia to break without causing diplomatic disputes, I think it's good for us in the United States, and for you Canal Company." William Evaert doesn't want to go around in circles, everyone's time is precious, William Evatt can only stay in New York for two days, in these two days, William Evaert has a lot of work to do, and he can't waste too much time here in Li Mu.

"Of course, it's good for our canal company, but it's not clear how much good it will be for the U.S. government, of course, it depends on Washington's attitude, and from my personal standpoint, I certainly want the U.S. to have more influence." Li Mu blatantly wants benefits, otherwise Li Mu may really not give William Evatt face.

In the process of the establishment of the Panama Company, it can be said that the US Government did not play much of a role, and now that the Panamanian Company is about to blossom and bear fruit in Panama, Washington is eager to jump out to pick the fruit, and Li Mu will certainly not obediently comply, if Washington does not give the Canal Company and the Panama Company corresponding compensation, then even if Panama becomes independent, Washington will not get any substantial benefits.

At most, the Panamanian government and Washington will barely maintain the current cooperative relationship, which is the biggest concession the Canal Company has made.

Putting personal interests above national interests may sound inconceivable, but in fact it is the most normal thing for the tycoons of the capitalist world, otherwise the Rockefellers would not have monopolized the American oil industry, otherwise the DuPont family would not have monopolized the American gunpowder industry, and in the same way, the Horse Arms Company would not have annexed Springfield, Colt, and Winchester.

Li Mu and these tycoons, although they are all nominally Americans, actually do not put their eggs in the same basket, such as the Morgan family, although J· P. Morgan's main trajectory is in the United States, but the Morgan family's current base camp is in the United Kingdom, so it is difficult to say that J. Morgan is the main activity track in the United States. How loyal P. Morgan is to the United States, don't look at J. Morgan. P. Morgan looked sanctimonious all day long, but in fact J. Morgan was in fact a non-sensious man. P. Morgan's allegiance was only to the interests of his family.

The same is true of Rockefeller, who maintained good relations with the British government despite the headquarters of Standard Oil in New York, which remained unaffected even after the deterioration of Anglo-American relations after the American Civil War.

Li Mu's Junma Group is the same, today, Junma Group is no longer purely an American company, in Cuba, in East Asia, and even in mainland Europe, Junma Group has taken root everywhere, the more so, the weaker the influence of the US government on Junma Group.

Of course, Washington understands all this, but Washington can only watch the tycoons cunning, and can only try their best to curry favor with Li Mu and other tycoons, otherwise once a tycoon shifts his business focus outside the United States, he will regret it at that time.

"Before I arrived, the senators passed a special resolution to provide the Panamanian government with an interest-free loan of $10 million." In the face of Li Mu's lion's big mouth, William Evatt was prepared.

10 million US dollars, compared with the total investment of the Canal Company of more than one billion yuan, is not much, but it is the greatest sincerity that Washington can show, you must know that the current United States has not completely come out of the shadow of the economic crisis, the US government has taken out the 10 million, has been squeezed out of the teeth, you can imagine how painful those "marionettes" in the Senate made this decision.

"What does the interest-free loan to the Panamanian government have to do with the Panamanian company?" Although Li Mu has been deeply involved in politics, he is not clear enough about some of the twists and turns in politics.

"Strictly speaking, this money is provided to the Panama region, just to clarify the direction, but not to the object, so if you canal company has an idea, you can get this money." William Evatt explained in more detail that politicians in Washington seem to be more radical than the Canal Company tycoons.

For well-known reasons, the military is a continuation of politics, and the economy is the basis of politics, so if you give a term to the degree of radicalization, the military is, of course, the first to bear the brunt, then the politicians, and finally the businessmen.

Of course, Li Mu, an arms dealer who looks forward to fighting every day, cannot be included in this list, in this sense, Li Mu has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements, and the most radical person in the world should be Li Mu.

William Ewart's attitude is clear that although the Isthmus of Panama now has a nominal Panamanian government, the Panamanian company can carry out another coup d'état in Panama and introduce a Panamanian government that is fully in the interests of the canal company, so that the canal company has the final say on how to use the money.

"We don't have much idea about that, the Panamanian company is just a company that focuses on security, and controlling the country is not part of the Panamanian company's business." Li Muyan was insincere, and his standard mouth was upright.

In Cuba, Li Mu has fully tasted the benefits of behind-the-scenes operations, although Sylvester is nominally the president of the United States of Cuba, in fact, in Cuba, the Junma Group is the real behind-the-scenes boss, in the past few years since the establishment of the United States of Cuba, the Junma Group has been involved in all aspects of the Cuban economy, in most areas of Cuba, the notice of the Junma Group is even more effective than the executive order of the Cuban government, which fully reflects the status of the Junma Group in Cuba.

Li Mu and J· If the Panamanian company can control the Panamanian government in the future, and then control the entire Panama Canal, then it can be said that the future Caribbean Sea is equivalent to the American inland river under the control of the Panamanian company, which is a great temptation for the United States and Panamanian companies.

Although there are many benefits, Li Mu does not want to be so easy, of course the US dollar is a good thing, everyone wants it, but what Li Mu wants now is not limited to the US dollar, Washington needs to come up with more temptations, maybe then Li Mu will give in.

"Reem, I really hope we can all be open and honest and return to the state where we fought side by side a few months ago-" William Evatt couldn't help but sigh, although he knew that the relationship between the two sides could not go back to the past, he still felt unfamiliar with the current Li Mu.

This is normal, there is no feast in the world, Li Mu and Hayes a few months ago, of course, can fight side by side for a common goal, but after Hayes became president, the premise of cooperation no longer exists, the current Li Mu is still the original Li Mu, everything is for the interests of the Horse Group, but the current Hayes is no longer the original Hays, after becoming president, Hayes wants to represent the interests of Washington, the interests of the entire United States, which is actually in conflict with Li Mu's starting point.

Regarding William Evatt's feelings, Li Mu only smiled politely and did not respond.

William Evatt didn't expect to make Li Mu change his mind with a single sentence, in order to achieve his goal, William Evatt also needed more chips.

"The Americas are the Americas of the Americans, but we hope that the Americas are the Americas of the United States, so the Panama Company will have better prospects, we are all extremely sure of this, the Panama Canal, just an attempt by the Panama Company, I think your Canal Company must also want to get more, first of all, I want to state that if the Canal Company can be consistent with Washington in the matter of the Panama Canal, then the Panama Company in the future will gain the friendship of Washington, I can't give you any promises now, but I believe, In the future, there will be more opportunities for cooperation between Washington and Panama companies, and we will have the opportunity to get what we want, and I will continue to communicate with other members of the Canal Management Committee, but for now, Ream, I need a commitment from you, because the more opportunities Panama companies and so on, the more benefits your Kufma Group will get. William Evatt is now extremely envious of Li Mu's identity as an "arms dealer", if William Evatt can have so many hole cards in Li Mu's hand, then William Evatt does not need to waste more saliva on Li Mu now.

The military background of the Panama company determines the business scope of the Panamanian company, which William Evatt said is right, the more the Panamanian company grows, the more orders the horse arms company can get, so although there are many shareholders of the canal company, Li Mu is the one who takes the biggest benefits.

"William, I don't disagree with what you said, but what you said are already facts, even if there is no guarantee from the U.S. government, we should get what we want the Horse Group, we will definitely be able to get, about the relationship between the Panama Company and the U.S. government, which you stated, I do not deny, we established the Panama Company in order to facilitate the handling of some things that our Canal Company does not come forward with, of course, if the object is replaced by the U.S. government, this relationship is the same, so I suggest, The U.S. government might wish to sign an agreement with Panamanian companies to officially recognize the status of Panamanian companies, so that our cooperation would be prerequisite. Li Mu wanted to ask the U.S. government to form a million-dollar army, and then order weapons from the Junma Arms Company, but this request was not realistic, so Li Mu retreated and hoped that the U.S. government could give more support to Panamanian companies.

If the U.S. government and Panamanian companies sign an agreement, then it means that Washington is ready to endorse the Panamanian company, although this possibility is not very likely, but it does not mean that there is not, the relationship between "temporary workers" and the government is complementary to each other, "temporary workers" are the government's backers, but the government should also give "temporary workers" enough confidence, otherwise, "temporary workers" will inevitably not be able to let go when they work.

"On this point, I think I still need to think about it-" William Evatt did not promise Li Mu on the spot, on this point, although William Evatt is the US Secretary of State, but without the authorization of Congress and the approval of Hayes, William Evatt has no decision.

See, the secretary of state is such a tragic existence, so Hamilton Fish left office without nostalgia.

"Then think about it, although the Panamanian company is registered in Panama, we all know the background of the Panamanian company, so what else is there to worry about." Li Mu is not worried that this agreement cannot be signed, the Panama company needs the recognition of the US government, and the US government wants to realize the interests of the United States in the Isthmus of Panama, and it also needs the cooperation of the Panamanian company, after all, the US government cannot directly send troops to the Isthmus of Panama, in that case, the US government will arouse unanimous international condemnation, which the US government cannot afford at this time.

Over the next two days, William Evat met separately in New York with Rockefeller, J. Evatt and J. Brown. To William Evatt's disappointment, almost all of them were on the same page, and unless Washington and Panama signed an agreement, Panamanian would not guarantee the interests of the U.S. government on the Isthmus of Panama.

Although Li Mu and Rockefeller and William Vanderbilt are not monolithic, but when it comes to common interests, none of the tycoons is stupid, so William Evaert is facing the capital power of the entire United States.

At the end of August, William Evatt, on behalf of the U.S. government, formally signed an agreement with Ford Benjamin, the general manager of the Panamanian company, to entrust the security of the U.S. government's embassies and consulates in Panama to the Panamanian company, and the entire contract was worth $10 million.

It's so expensive.
