The era of imperialism, the big powers embassy abroad also holds concurrent jobs to collect the information. After packing off Ninou, Minister Tom bustled about got up the consult relevant information material. 帝国主义时代,列强驻外使馆还兼职收集情报。送走了尼诺后,汤姆公使就忙碌了起来查阅相关情报资料。 Without the means that France is limited in the Colombian interests, Colombian ranking in the diplomatic activities is near the bottom. 没有办法,法兰西在哥伦比亚利益有限,在外交活动中哥伦比亚排名非常靠后。 Here is the minister basically is mixes to eat to wait for death, the time grew Minister Tom also to degenerate, the information is still collecting, must look along with his mood. 在这里做公使基本上都是混吃等死,时间长了汤姆公使也就堕落了,情报还在收集,要不要看就随他的心情了。 Now must attain the Panama Canal right of exploitation from the Colombian government hand, does not understand the weakness of opposite party, how ok? 现在要从哥伦比亚政府手中拿到巴拿马运河开发权,不了解一下对方的弱点,怎么行呢？ Time one minute/share one second passes by, Tom to the Colombian recent matter, has the approximate understanding. 时间一分一秒过去,汤姆对哥伦比亚最近发生的事情,已经有了大致了解。 As for the detailed information, was sorry very much the embassy funds are limited, without the ability deeply investigates. The information that now collects, in fact with similar that in the newspaper sees. 至于详细情报,很抱歉使馆经费有限,没有能力深入调查。现在搜集到的情报,实际上和报纸上看到的差不多。 Put down the information in hand, Minister Tom deeply frowned, obviously this above material, was not he wants. 放下了手中的情报,汤姆公使眉头紧锁,显然这上面的资料,不是他想要的。 „Teece, benefits the information that Austria moves in Colombia, and Panama Canal plans the related information to look.” “迪斯夫,把奥地利在哥伦比亚活动的情报,以及巴拿马运河计划相关的情报找出来。” Secretary Teece replied unhurriedly: „ Minister, the embassy only has the information of Austria altruistic activity, the Panama Canal plans is not in our gather intelligence range. 秘书迪斯夫不慌不忙的回答道:“公使阁下,使馆只有奥地利人活动的情报,巴拿马运河计划不在我们情报搜集范围内。 If desired, in a week we can check the Colombian government public material, must check the deep level material to need the extra funds. ” 如果需要的话,一个星期内我们能够查到哥伦比亚政府公开的资料,要查深层次资料需要额外的经费。” Minister Tom complexion gloomy, the French government is very wealthy, but French embassy in Colombia is very poor. 汤姆公使脸色阴沉了起来,法兰西政府很富裕,但是法兰西驻哥伦比亚使馆很穷。 This staff who provide from the embassy can look, the complete member adds less than 10 people, includes a cleaner and a chef, and two guards. 这一点从使馆配备的工作人员就可以看出来,全部成员加起来都不足十人,其中还包括一名清洁工、一名厨师、和两名卫兵。 This age communication is inconvenient, the power of minister stationed abroad is very big, hiring the ordinary staff is one of the authorities. 这个年代通讯不便,驻外公使的权力很大,雇佣普通工作人员就是职权之一。 The embassy personnel are so few, the main reason is the work funds is insufficient. Must otherwise, Minister Tom not mind that hires several staff. 使馆工作人员这么少,最主要的原因就是办公经费不足。要不然的话,汤姆公使也不介意多雇佣几名工作人员。 Does not have money a lot unable to manage, for example: The collection information, can only the selectivity collect with emphasis, the secondary information can only discard. 没钱很多事情都不能办,比如说:搜集情报,就只能选择性重点搜集,次要的情报只能舍弃。 Normally, the canal plan of Republic of Colombia cannot have the relations with France, their influence is too here small, is good unable to take. 正常情况下,哥伦比亚共和国的运河计划不会和法兰西有关系,他们在这里势力太小,有好处也拿不到手。 The present situation is obvious, is the unusual situation. Minister Tom not only complained the capitalist to mess about, not to consider the actual situation one time completely. 现在的情况非常明显,属于非正常情况。汤姆公使内心不只一次吐槽资本家瞎折腾,完全不考虑实际情况。 Looks in the franc face, since promised others, Minister Tom must fulfill the commitment, this is his professional ethics. 看在法郎的面子上,既然答应了人家,汤姆公使还是要兑现承诺的,这是他的职业操守。 „Does not have the issue, I special approval 10,000 francs to you, must investigate to be clear about the detail of Colombian canal plan as soon as possible.” “没问题,我给你特批1万法郎,必须要尽快调查清楚哥伦比亚运河计划的详细资料。” Secretary Teece had doubts, suddenly natural, this not like the minister who he knows. 秘书迪斯夫疑惑了,突然大方了起来,这可不像他认识的公使。 In his mind, ordinary period Minister Tom is a penny saved , a penny earned, particularly the intelligence service, the specialized spies do not have one continually, collecting the information is the embassy personnel on personally. 在他的印象中,平常时期汤姆公使都是能省则省,尤其是情报部门,连专业的间谍都没有一名,搜集情报都是使馆工作人员亲自上。 10,000 francs perhaps are not the big number, but to the intelligence service, that also broke the record. 1万法郎或许不是什么大数字,但是对情报部门来说,那也是破纪录了。 In the past three years, the complete operating expense of embassy intelligence service added that was less than 5000 francs. 在过去的三年里,使馆情报部门的全部活动经费加起来,都不到五千法郎。 One cent one point of goods, since the funds are few, naturally did not count on that can have many harvests. As a rule, excerpts some materials from the newspaper, in addition the hearsay in banquet, reorganizes to complete the task even. 一分钱一分货,既然经费少,自然不指望能有多少收获。通常来说,从报纸上摘抄一些资料,加上宴会上的道听途说,整理一下就算是完成任务。 The doubts turn over to the doubts, meaning that Teece has not actually gotten to the bottom. No matter how said, first takes the operating expense. 疑惑归疑惑,迪斯夫却没有刨根问底的意思。不管怎么说,先把活动经费拿到手。 „Such as you hope, minister. Most three days, you can see the related information.” “如你所愿,公使阁下。最多三天,你就能看到相关资料。” The rich easy to do matter, this just did not put out the operating expense, the efficiency was raised all of a sudden. 有钱好办事,这不刚拿出活动经费,效率一下子提升了上来。 Teece mixed many years here, the human relations network has established. The Colombian government looks like the screen to be the same, absolutely does not have the security awareness , wants to do some unimportant information, was really simple. 迪斯夫在这里混了很多年,人脉关系网早就建立了起来。况且,哥伦比亚政府就像是筛子一样,完全没有保密意识,想要搞到一些不重要的情报,实在是太简单了。 So long as is willing to put up the cash, comes out the raw data belt/bring directly. Without a doubt, Teece does not prepare to put up the cash. 只要肯砸钱,直接把原始资料带出来都可以。毫无疑问,迪斯夫是不准备砸钱的。 By his status, must examine the unimportant material, goes to the Colombian government archives directly and that's the end. 凭借他身份,要查看不重要的资料,直接去哥伦比亚政府档案馆就是了。 If some people dare to reject, he does the matter to create the diplomatic conflict. This is the move withstanding the test, the Colombian government most fears the diplomatic dispute. 要是有人敢拒绝,他就搞事情制造外交冲突。这是百试不爽的招数,哥伦比亚政府最怕外交纠纷。 ...... …… Ninou's family background is not high, can only be the middle class. To crawl upwardly, he made lots of efforts. This canal plans, to him, is a chance of a lifetime. 尼诺的出身不算高,只能算是中产阶级。为了向上爬,他付出了很多努力。这次运河计划,对他来说,就是一次千载难逢的机会。 The secret big shot pledged, so long as he can complete the initial work, convinced all parties to restart the canal plan, he was the first president in canal company, managed the canal to excavate, the operation work comprehensively. 幕后的大佬们可是承诺了,只要他能够完成前期工作,说服各方重启运河计划,他就是运河公司的首任总裁,全面主持运河开挖、运营工作。 The credibility of this commitment is high, the great person will not break a contract in this small issue, ready-made case. The first president in Suez Canal Corporation, is an example. 这份承诺的可信度非常高,大人物是不会在这个小问题上违约,还有现成的案例在。苏伊士运河公司的首任总裁,就是一个例子。 The high return naturally also follows the high difficulty, if who can do the matter, value this price. 高回报自然也伴随着高难度,要是谁都能把事情干成,也值不了这价。 The root supports the data analysis, Ninou soon discovered: Panama Canal couplet ally dispensable, their coastlines centralized in east coast. 根据手中的资料分析,尼诺很快就发现:巴拿马运河对联盟国来说可有可无,他们的海岸线集中在了东海岸。 Is the United States of America, the territory stretches across the east and west coasts on the contrary, to strengthen the business contact, is also busy building a railroad now. 反倒是美利坚合众国,领土横跨东西两岸,为了加强商贸往来,现在还忙着修铁路。 If the Panama Canal clears, reduced eastern the distance of West Pacific Ocean, Republic can obtain the huge economic interest and strategic value. 要是巴拿马运河开通,缩小了东西太平洋的距离,合众国就可以获得庞大的经济利益和战略价值。 In the age of this benefit decision state relations, embarks from the benefit, obviously is the Republic interests and canal plan is consistent, then this time partner can only be Republic. 在这个利益决定国家关系的年代,从利益上出发,显然是合众国利益和运河计划一致,那么这次的合作伙伴就只能是合众国。 Ninou was calculating at heart many, drew in Republic and Spain, the three countries join up to resist Austria to benefit in Colombia, the odds of success is very big. 尼诺在心里盘算了很多遍,拉上了合众国和西班牙,三国联合起来在哥伦比亚对抗奥地利,胜算还是非常大的。 Compares collaborates with British Austria, is jointly easier to win the leading power with western US, even if gave rise to the problem, France still has the strength to coerce them. 相比和英奥联手,还是和美西联手更加容易获得主导权,即便是发生了问题,法兰西也有实力压服他们。 Sends back a telegram to the home, after explaining the situation, Ninou nonstop went by boat to go to Republic, a preparation pull people joins a group. 给国内发回一封电报,说明情况后,尼诺就马不停蹄的乘船前往合众国,准备拉人入伙。 ...... …… By the American Civil War failure influence, Republic encountered the heavy losses, the government finance once went bankrupt, supports the financial group of government in the war, naturally is complete wipe-out that compensates. 受南北战争失败影响,合众国遭到了重创,政府财政一度破产,在战争中支持政府的财团,自然是赔的血本无归。 The post-war central government prestige damaged greatly, various States of Germany acted as one thinks fit, the regional protectionism was in vogue. The several financial groups of original space and time are dominant, now evolved hundred school of thought contending. 战后中央政府威望大损,各联邦州自行其是,地方保护主义盛行。原时空的几家财团独大,现在演变成了百家争鸣。 Ninou this time work task is very arduous, not only need convince the federal government, but must earn the support of these capitalists. 尼诺这次的工作任务很重,不光要说服联邦政府,还必须要获得这些资本家的支持。 Camel of skinny is big, as the Wall Street King, Morgan Financial group was still the federation's first financial group, but the influence did not have the original space and time is so abnormal. 瘦死的骆驼比马大,作为华尔街王者,摩根财团仍然是联邦第一财团,只不过影响力没有原时空那么变态。 In order to indicate to attach great importance , the Ninou's first stand chose the Morgan manor. 为了表示重视,尼诺第一站就选择了摩根庄园。 ...... …… „Mr. Ninou, I acknowledged you said is very reasonable, the Panama Canal clears truly is conducive to the economic development of Republic, what can we obtain?” Morgan asked directly “尼诺先生,我承认你说的很有道理,巴拿马运河开通确实有利于合众国的经济发展,可是我们能够获得什么呢？”摩根直接问道 Regarding this unexpected visitor, Morgan is not interested. As far as he knows, French capital does not have this person, if not French minister recommends, he thinks that met the swindler. 对于这位不速之客,摩根并不感兴趣。据他所知,法国资本界就没有这号人,如果不是法国公使推荐,他都以为是遇上了骗子。 Ninou showed a faint smile, put down the coffee in hand, unhurriedly reply: „ Heard that your country regional protectionism is in vogue, recently these years, Morgan Financial group developed is not very smooth! 尼诺微微一笑,放下了手中的咖啡,不慌不忙的回答道:“听说贵国地方保护主义盛行,最近这些年,摩根财团发展的很不顺利吧！ If the Panama Canal clears, the situation was different. The commercial trade of east and west coasts will prosper inevitably, Morgan Financial group had the right to speak in the canal, but also feared that these enterprises don't cooperate? ” 如果巴拿马运河开通,情况就不一样了。东西两岸的商业贸易势必会繁荣起来,摩根财团在运河中拥有了话语权,还怕这些企业不合作么？” Bounced check, if controlled the leading power of canal, must achieve this point is not difficult. 空头支票,如果掌控了运河的主导权,要做到这一点不难。 But the issue is the Republic strength is limited, after the canal clears, why can Morgan Financial group win the leading power? 可问题是合众国实力有限,在运河开通后,摩根财团凭什么能够获得主导权？ Depending on rich? 就凭有钱么？ Sorry, nowadays French Financial group many that they are richer. Morgan Financial group in continental Europe, most is also a second-class financial group. 抱歉,这年头法国财团比他们有钱的多。摩根财团在欧洲大陆,最多也就是一家二流财团。 Cannot attain the leading power, as a young shareholder, obedient drew bonus is right. If wants to make the monster, it is estimated that drew bonus continually does not have. 拿不到主导权,作为一名小股东,乖乖的等分红就对了。要是想作妖,估计连分红都没了。 When the time comes do not say that shears the wools of other enterprises, cannot do well Morgan Financial group to accept the French capital to invest, loses the autonomy again. 到时候不要说剪其它企业的羊毛,搞不好摩根财团自身都不得不接受法国资本入股,再次丧失自主权。 Morgan shakes the head: „ Mr. Ninou, this matter involved too greatly, does not only promote depending on our one. Must ask others to unite, the person of participation were many, how many can our rights to speak have? 摩根摇了摇头:“尼诺先生,这件事情牵扯太大,仅凭我们一家根本就推动不了。必须要找别人联合,参与的人多了,我们的话语权还能有多少？ Taking the liberty asked one, you are willing to pay many stocks, if were too few, everyone did not need to waste the time. ” 冒昧的问一句,你们肯付出多少股份,如果太少的话,大家就不用浪费时间了。” After Ninou hesitant moment time, gave one to think the favorable answer: „Develops the Panama Canal, the country that involves are too many, we must have more partners, Republic are most can obtain 21 stocks.” 尼诺犹豫了片刻功夫后,给出了一个自认为优厚的答案:“开发巴拿马运河,牵扯到的国家太多,我们必须要有更多的合作伙伴,合众国最多可以获得21的股份。” Develops the Panama Canal to have the coordination of local bully, how the Colombian government must divide one again, wins over the Spanish also to divide one similarly. 开发巴拿马运河少不了地头蛇的配合,再怎么样哥伦比亚政府也要分一份,拉拢西班牙人同样也要分一份。 Stands in the standpoint of French, must control the leading power of canal, without more than half stocks is incorrect, leaves the three countries to carve up only then remaining one less than half. 站在法国人的立场上,要掌控运河的主导权,没有过半的股份是不行的,留给三国瓜分就只有剩下的一小半。 In fact this is only the ideal number, if other European national capital participate, must emit part of stocks inevitably, 实际上这还只是理想数字,如果欧洲其它国家资本参与进来,势必还要放出一部分股份, This 21 is the bounced check, the stock that finally Republic can attain will be only less, after listing financing, proportion also further by dilution. 这个21都是空头支票,最后合众国能够拿到的股份只会更少,上市融资后,比例还会进一步被摊薄。 Morgan beckons with the hand: „ Sorry, Mr. Ninou. This business, Morgan does not participate. 摩根摆了摆手:“抱歉,尼诺先生。这笔生意,摩根就不参与了。 Depending on 21 stocks, is only impossible to convince all parties, the risk and income that we need to take are not proportional. 仅凭21的股份,根本就不可能说服各方,我们需要承担的风险和收益不成正比。 As far as I know, Austria benefits to the Panamanian area has been very careful. Also has massive immigrations in the area, may make the Panamanian area cloud over anytime. 据我所知,奥地利对巴拿马地区一直很上心。在当地还拥有大量的移民,随时有可能让巴拿马地区变天。 Once Panama fell into the Austria Libyan people hand, our investments have no safeguard. Will your country for our benefits, make war inadequately with the Austria advantage? ” 一旦巴拿马落入了奥地利人手中,我们的投资没有任何保障。贵国难道会为了我们的利益,和奥地利开战不成？” A Ninou brow wrinkle: „ Mr. Morgan, has this situation the probability to be small. The Panama Canal involved Colombia and Spain, we also to have your country four interests. 尼诺眉头一皱:“摩根先生,发生这种情况的几率非常小。巴拿马运河牵扯到了哥伦比亚、西班牙、我们还有贵国四家的利益。 Four countries collaborate, can invest into the strength of Panamanian area, not compared with Austria altruistic weak. 四国联手,能够投入到巴拿马地区的力量,丝毫不比奥地利人弱。 The Vienna government is not a boorish fellow, without grasping, even if there is ambition to the Panamanian area, they will not begin rashly. ” 维也纳政府不是莽夫,在没有把握的情况下,就算是对巴拿马地区怀有野心,他们也不会冒然动手。” Ninou had not pledged carelessly, everyone is a sensible person, wanted to deceive the opposite party is really difficult. 尼诺没有胡乱承诺,大家都是明白人,想要糊弄对方实在是太难了。 If really promised: France will protect everyone's investment, it is estimated that Morgan must catch up with the person. 真要是许诺:法兰西会保护大家的投资,估计摩根就要赶人了。 Does a capitalist representative, what qualifications have to represent the French government? Even the capitalist strength of France too, still without arriving casually can decide ability that the national politics moves toward. 一名资本家代表,有什么资格代表法国政府？即便是法兰西的资本家实力太,也没有到随便就能够决定国家政治走向的能力。 Do not say the present, even the financial group strength prosperous period, still can only affect the government policy decision, rather than decides for the government. 不要说现在,即便是财团力量鼎盛时期,也只能影响政府决策,而不是替政府做决策。
