The telegram is very detailed, and it also introduces the current situation of the Panama Canal quite well, and after the experts see it, they can't help but feel sad, a Panama Canal that he led the construction of and represents the advanced engineering of the United States has been completely destroyed, although only the dam of the entrance part has been destroyed, not the overall structure, but this part is one of the most important parts of the entire Panama Canal, and even the most difficult part to recover.

Several experts came together to assess how long it would take to restore the locks to restore the Panama Canal to normal, but in everyone's predictions, there is no extremely short number, at least a year, or even two years.

No wonder they are so difficult, don't look at only not long, more than 80 kilometers, but the difficulty of digging is huge, as early as 1826, someone put forward a plan to dig the Panama Canal, in 1880 to officially start construction, but unfortunately it took 9 years, the designer ignored the difficulty of the canal, and finally failed, after more than ten years of deposition, in 1904, it was acquired by the United States, re-excavated, lasted 9 years, in 1913 all through, the real navigation was in 1914, It took at least nine years for the United States to take over the construction of the dam for decades, and in this sense, two years is normal for one of the most important dams.

If the United States is not able to completely repair the Panama Canal in a short period of time, then in the next year, more than a year, or even two years, there is almost no doubt that the United States will be directly challenged by China

Whether the Panama Canal is smooth or not, the impact on the future is very huge, but unfortunately the news from Panama has made the experts dumbfounded, this is the worst situation, the locks of the Panama Canal have been completely destroyed, and the remaining part, not only can not be used, but also must be blasted, otherwise, even if it is repaired, a little bit of tropical storm can have an impact on the locks.

It seems that the loss of the Panama Canal, among the losses of the entire US military, is not high, and it is completely incomparable with the losses caused by Wall Street and the financial turmoil in the United States, but in fact, this is related to the task of the US military in the next stage, and the US Navy is already at a disadvantage at the commanding heights of strategy.

In just over a year, less than two months, this unknown Cheng Bu has created a great reputation in the United States, but this name is built under the accumulated bones of the Americans, and the four capital ships have already created an infinite blood debt in the United States.

Yesterday, the U.S. military began to prepare, the Caribbean Sea, the environment is complex, has always been an area full of pirates, but that area is the inland sea of the United States, so many years of clearing Zixia, pirates have no longer appeared, although the United States has fewer activities in the Caribbean, they are very familiar with the Caribbean side, in the Admiralty, there are detailed charts.

In order to contain this fleet, at least 2.2 million tons of warships were dispatched, divided into several aspects, not to give Cheng the possibility of escaping, at this time, the first one to arrive in the Caribbean, is expected to arrive in the Caribbean Sea after 2 days, this fleet composed of 30 loading and heavy patrols, close to 140 large and small ships, more of a delay, a total of 2 similar fleets, respectively 2 days later, 5 days later, arrived in the Caribbean, their task is to search the entire Caribbean, blocking the way for Cheng Biguang to returnAs long as Cheng Bu is completely left in the Caribbean region before the European fleet returns, it will be considered a success.

The focus of the battle with Cheng Biguang's department, of course, is the capital ship formation withdrawn from the British, 12 battleships, which not only includes all the warships of the United States, but also some of the British support, this is a powerful, with a complete system and a strong and weak fleet, can not leave the four emperor-class here, in the next war environment, for the entire United States, it is very unfavorable, the Panama Canal has been destroyed, but the next war is still long, which can not determine the outcome of the war.

In the eyes of the Americans, even if the pirates located in the Pacific region are occupied, there is no problem, it is a big deal to be careful, fight with the Chinese, on the side close to the United States. During this period of time, the island's influence on naval warfare was minimal, that is, the issue of setting up some supply ports, as long as there were supply ports in this area, then within the scope of this supply port, there would be no new supply ports.

For the development of the island, it is only the most basic unless the island has unique resources, among which Hawaii is a very exceptional existence, it is not only a huge military port, but also a place to produce sugar, the annual sugar production, occupies a considerable share of the whole world, which also occupies a very important role in the economy of the United States, is a place that has to be paid attention to.

Unfortunately, Hawaii is too close to the area controlled by the Chinese, and when the Panama Canal was cut off, Hawaii was actually lost, and the United States did not have enough forces to put it on Hawaii, but China did it easily.

It is impossible for the fleet transferred from Europe to operate in the Americas for a long time, let alone be mobilized in the Pacific Ocean, and the Entente itself is facing a huge threat from Germany, and it is already good to be able to mobilize 12 warships from the middle, which is the importance that Britain attaches to the United States, but the United States has left the warships behind, which is absolutely unfavorable for the European war situation.

Britain can be in a short period of time, with rapid mobilization, less rest, and even land and air protection, in order to obtain a balance with the German high seas fleet when competing for the overall situation, so as not to fall behind, but this is not done all the time, nor for a long time, the reason why they are so generous is that the arrival of 12 capital ships will inevitably expel the Chinese fleet, and after excluding the Chinese fleet, these capital ships will be returned.

They didn't think that Cheng Biguang would choose the most risky method, setting up an attack on the Bana Canal to mobilize the American fleet from Europe, and this fleet from the European continent to the Atlantic, which would take a certain amount of time, Cheng Biguang also knew that according to the domestic self-set plan, at this time, the fleet responsible for interception was probably ready to block him in the Caribbean. Cheng Biguang can easily find fighters, in terms of the strength of the battleship, although the overall combat effectiveness, 4 fantasy-class is not as good as 12 capital ships, but it really fights, the troops are called aggressive, and the fantasy-class can easily overwhelm the opponent, taking advantage of the premise that the other party does not realize the strength of the fantasy-class, knock out a few more of the opponent's capital ships, and after getting off to a good start, the next thing is much easier, the fantasy-class sanctification is the most taboo, think about it, attack the record of 12 capital ships, It is enough to make it impossible for other fleets to get close, and if you can eat cheaply, you will go to the next cheaper, and if you can't eat cheaply, then you will leave, you can fight and fight, it is simply agile to the extreme.

Advance can be attacked and retreated, this is what Cheng Biguang is best at, the complex and changeable Caribbean Sea will become Cheng Biguang's battlefield, Cheng Biguang leads the fleet, just like a snake in the night, staring at the other party's possible fleet, as long as the other party has any omission, it will pounce frantically.

The United States was too familiar with the Caribbean, so it was easy to choose a few predetermined locations, and the warship on the way to New York was also rerouted and sailed directly towards the Caribbean. Straight above the Atlantic turned around.

In doing so, the United States is tantamount to saying that the voyage has increased, and the amount of time consumed is more than expected, and even the US Navy is quite tired, and the voyage of tens of thousands of nautical miles is a test for any soldier or even a ship.

For this, Cheng Biguang is not afraid at all, there are excellent reconnaissance planes, more than 100 kilometers around, can be detected clearly, as for the night, the radar detection radius of 15 kilometers is enough to find such a small guy as a torpedo boat, how can a large warship be missed, under the premise of not loving a sneak attack, 12 capital ships, against 4 emperor-class, as long as the first time, send out the first round of artillery fire, it is enough to put him in an advantageous position,

The United States sent a large number of warships, the battleships that came back from Europe can be regarded as the strongest link of the American warships, in the eyes of the Americans, the other party should not be so stupid, directly hit the fleet above, but Cheng Biguang is like this, if you want to fight, you will fight the strongest, and the strongest will be broken freely, and then, you will be able to advance and retreat, after all, behind the strongest, there is no supplementary fleet, once you leave the Caribbean Sea and enter the Atlantic Ocean, it is the real sea with a leap of fish, and the sky is high for birds to fly, They came to the weekly program, and they have already achieved excellent results, and there is no need to continue, as long as this time, to teach the Americans a lesson, let them suffer a little, it is good, in the continuation, it is really not good.
