275, Panama under the city 2
With the fall of Hawaii, the White House and the Department of Defense of the United States have fallen into a high degree of tension, and many states in the United States are in chaos, especially the states on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean that have not officially joined the United States.
The U.S. government urgently mobilized troops to the west, and columns of troops roared westward.
In a tunnel in Rocky Mountain, a train full of soldiers is passing through the mountains, and the entire train enters the tunnel.
Suddenly, violent explosions occurred at both ends of the tunnel, and the two tunnel exits collapsed on board, burying the entire train alive.
The incident broke out and shocked the whole United States.
Roosevelt was furious at the White House.
"Somebody did it, damn it."
Secretary of State Hull said bitterly: "A little more than a month ago, a small Chinese force attacked San Francisco, and dozens of them fled in the direction of Rocky Mountain, and now it is suspected that they did it." ”
Roosevelt became more and more angry: "Dozens of people, tens of thousands of people have been invested in encirclement and suppression, has it not been solved until now?" ”
Hull smiled bitterly: "I thought it was a very simple thing to deal with dozens of people, but we didn't pay attention to it. It wasn't until this incident broke out that we asked. These dozens of officers and soldiers of the Chinese are the elite of the elite, not only have excellent combat skills, but also know Chinese martial arts, and the strength of each of their punches can exceed 500 pounds. The troops who surrounded and suppressed them, and once a company of soldiers was silently killed by them in the night. So far, only thirteen of the opposing sides have been killed, and our losses have exceeded five thousand. ”
Roosevelt looked at Hull, laughed for a long time, and said, "Hull." You know? Your story is not good at all, you have no sense of humor at all. I understand that you must be worried that I am overly worried about the loss of Hawaii and want to make me laugh and relax with such a ridiculous thing, right? ”
Hull said bitterly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I'm not in the mood to tell a story at all, it's all true. ”
Roosevelt suddenly slapped the table hard, stood up with difficulty on his crippled legs, and roared angrily: "Impossible. Are our American officers and soldiers all rice buckets? Five thousand to thirteen. Could it be that every soldier of the Chinese is an incarnation of God? Even 5,000 pigs can kill dozens of people. ”
Herdau: "There was once a Chinese officer who was surrounded by a French regiment while supporting the rebels in French Annam. The French tried to capture him alive, but he killed hundreds of people almost with his bare hands, and finally the French generals could not stand it and ordered him to be killed. He paused. Got it. I think you're going to have some balance in mind. ”
Roosevelt was so angry that he couldn't even speak. He couldn't imagine, was this still human?
Hull felt the tremendous pressure of Roosevelt's silence and stiffened, "Your Excellency, President." The problem now is that many officers and soldiers of the army refuse to take the train to the west, but the Chinese are likely to attack the west. ”
Roosevelt sat down on the presidential chair, as if he had exhausted his strength just now, and said weakly: "If you are Chinese, if you attack from Hawaii, where will you attack?" ”
Hull thought for a moment and said, "San Francisco! There were many Chinese there, and although they have now migrated to the South American Empire, it is Chinese easy to find people who are familiar with the terrain and environment, and they are most likely to capture San Francisco. ”
Roosevelt shook his head and said, "Wrong! You're just on a tactical level. If I were the Chinese military leader, Li Bufan, I would definitely attack Panama. ”
"Panama?"
"That's right! It's Panama! Roosevelt affirmed, "Capturing or destroying the Panama Canal is equivalent to blocking the rapid passage of the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific Ocean, our Pacific Fleet is almost completely annihilated, and in the Pacific Ocean, our American warships and coalition warships are far from being the opponents of the Chinese Navy, so as to ensure China's sea supremacy in the Pacific, then the entire Pacific Ocean will fall into the hands of the Chinese, and it will be a disaster, and the Chinese can fight wherever they want." ”
Hull's face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "Then we should immediately send troops to reinforce Panama." ”
Roosevelt nodded and said, "Of course, reinforcements are necessary." I want to know now, when Bailey retreated, really ordered to blow up the oil depot at Pearl Harbor and sent people to dive to plant bombs, completely destroying the sunken warship? ”
Hull nodded solemnly: "Yes, Your Excellency, I have confirmed it again and again, and at the same time, Admiral Kate has also indicated that he has seen it with his own eyes. However, the destruction of these warships can only ensure that the warships have no repair value, and can also ensure the damage of the main guns, but some secondary guns may still be dismantled and used by the Chinese. ”
Roosevelt nodded, "I see, it's good to be able to do this." It would be the greatest irony if the warships of the Pacific Fleet were repaired and used by the Chinese bigwigs, as in Da Nang. He pondered for a while, "If the fuel is destroyed, the Chinese navy's mobility will be limited, plus they must first send troops to control the Midway area, even if they immediately send a supply fleet from the mainland to deliver supplies to Hawaii, then the Chinese will have at least ten days to get enough fuel, and if they want to attack, it will take at least half a month." ”
Kherr breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Great, in half a month, our reinforcements will definitely arrive in Panama." ”
Little did Roosevelt and Helvain know, however, that just a few days later, a large fleet of ships, laden with supplies ordered from the United States by the South American Empire, would pass through the Panama Canal, under the banner of the Morgan consortium.
Dozens of huge ships of more than 5,000 tons loaded with all kinds of ore, steel, and coal passed through one lock after another.
A crew member asked the captain, "Boss, Hawaii has been occupied by the Chinese, will our voyage be dangerous?" ”
The captain said, "What are you afraid of?" As soon as we entered the Pacific Ocean, we hoisted the flag of the South American Empire. Besides, the Chinese have just occupied Hawaii, so quickly relaunch the attack. ”
The crew breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved, huh?" What was that? ”
The captain frowned, "What? ”
The crew looked up and said, "There seems to be a voice from the sky, it should be an airplane." ”
After being reminded, the captain apparently also heard the voice, and said with a smile: "It should be the training of our aircraft." Saying that, looking up, he saw waves of silver-gray fighters drilling out of the clouds, diving towards the fleet at high speed, and shouted in horror on the spot, "Damn, Chinese planes!" ”
China's air force is a silver-gray fuselage, which has become a kind of symbol, and the Chinese air force has dealt a major blow to the coalition forces because of its repeated military exploits, and for this reason it is called the silver devil in the West.
And now, the dense silver demons swooped down towards their huge fleet, and the fear was as if everyone had suddenly come to hell, and for a while all the crew members of the ships were in chaos, and some of the crew members reflexively controlled the ships to dodge, but they were in the narrow canal, which caused a series of collisions.
"Boom." With two loud bangs, the two ships in front and behind the entire fleet were bombed by dives and bombs, and the violent explosion caused the ships to disintegrate on the spot, which made the entire fleet blocked in the middle, followed by the dive of countless aircraft
When the White House received the telegram, Roosevelt was so angry that he swept the documents from the president's office to the ground.
Hull gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, China is trying to block the Panama shipping lane." ”
Roosevelt said hatefully: "Did you find out?" Why is there a fleet of ships passing through the Panama Canal? ”
Hull said bitterly: "It's the Morgan consortium's supplies, ordered by the South American Empire." ”
When Roosevelt heard the words "Morgan Consortium", he swallowed a vicious breath in his stomach, this behemoth is definitely not something that he can move as an acting president, as long as the other party gently expresses his dissatisfaction, he will have to roll up and go home, and he will not even see the sun tomorrow. I had to grit my teeth and say: "Damn, there must be something wrong with the South American Empire." When the war broke out, in order to save the civilians in the occupied areas, the coalition agreed to the neutrality of the South American Empire, and the Chinese all over the world concentrated on the South American Empire, among which there must be Chinese spies. ”
Hull said with a bitter face: "Then what now?" ”
Roosevelt said with a gloomy expression: "Very bad, the Chinese are trying to prevent the allied navy from reinforcing the Pacific, and they want to guarantee their sea supremacy in order to gain absolute superiority in the Pacific direction, and even land and fight in the Americas." ”
Hull immediately said: "We can bypass South America and enter the Pacific. ”
Roosevelt said hatefully, "But that will take time." Since the rise of Chinese leader Li Bufan, every battle he planned, once he launched an attack, the offensive rhythm was very tight, so that the opponent was even more unable to deploy defenses and counterattacks, so as to quickly achieve victory. ”
“”
Far away in the hall of the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing.
"Soldiers, noble and fast!" Li Bufan looked at the sign of the blockage of the Panama Canal in the sand table and said proudly, "The Americans must never have imagined that the pace of our attack would be so fast. After the capture of Panama, the aircraft carrier battle group of our navy Chen Shaokuan immediately set off. ”
Duan Qirui looked at the sand table and said in a deep voice: "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
Li Bufan sneered: "There are more and more planes of the Western coalition forces, although the performance is still inferior to ours, but fighting more and fighting less also puts us under tremendous pressure. However, airplanes need to consume fuel, and mechanization in the West is also developing rapidly, and oil is also needed for maritime transportation. The largest oil producers in the Americas are mainly in Venezuela and Mexico, and destroying their oil fields is tantamount to curbing their development even more fundamentally. ”
Xu Shuzheng said suddenly: "The Talara region in northern Peru also produces millions of tons of oil every year, and it cannot be left to the enemy. ”
Li Bufan and Li Huashan looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "Wouldn't it be better to use it for me?" ”
"For my use? (To be continued......)
