Panama!

The misfortune of many countries stems from its geographical location, such as Afghanistan, which wants oil but no oil, no economy, no population, and a harsh environment, but it is the passage for the Soviets to go south, and it is a bridge between the East and the West.

The same is true of Panama, whose misfortune lies in the fact that it is located in a narrow section of the middle of the American continent, so on its territory, a Panama Canal has been dug out artificially, and together with the Suez Canal, it has become the two most strategic artificial waterways in the world. Ships that used to travel between the east and west coasts of the United States had to make a detour through Cape Horn in South America, but the Panama Canal could shorten the voyage by about 15,000 kilometers. The canal can save up to 6,500 kilometres of voyage from one coast of North America to South American ports on the other, and 3,700 kilometres of voyage for ships sailing between Europe and East Asia or Australia, making it a golden waterway.

However, the management of the canal has always been the United States. In 1903, the United States forced the newly independent Panama to sign an unequal treaty, obtained the right to dig the Panama Canal, and leased the canal and the canal zone forever. After the completion of the canal, the total annual revenue of the canal is about 300 million US dollars, the vast majority of which is the income of the United States, and Panama can only get a fraction of it. The United States even designated the 16.1-kilometer area on the west bank of the canal as the Canal Zone, set up the US Southern Command, and did not allow Panamanians to enter, and the Canal Zone became a "country within a country."

The Panamanian people are unwilling to be monopolized by the Americans, and they have been fighting, especially after Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, which greatly encouraged the Panamanian people. They are determined to reclaim the canal too! Especially in 83, the commander-in-chief of the Panamanian Defense Forces, Noriega, took control of the military and political power in Panama and became the de facto leader of Panama, and as the leader of the military government, he was also ambitious. The hope that the management of the canal could be taken back has naturally become a thorn in the side of the United States.

In May, Panama restarted its presidential election, and the results of the vote count showed that the opposition parties jointly elected presidential candidate Guillermo Ndara to win the election, but Noriega declared the election null and void and imprisoned Guillermo.

Historically, the United States imposed economic sanctions on Pakistan in September of that year, and on December 15, Noriega declared a state of war with the United States. Self-appointed head of state. On December 20, the US military launched Operation Justice, codenamed "Operation Justice," and dispatched troops to Panama, exposing the essence of US imperialism's hegemonic interference in small and weak countries.

And now, it's only August, although Panama has made a fuss about the invalid end of the presidential election, the United States still has no battle plan against Panama, and at this time, Panama actually had a shooting incident first!

Bush's eyes were instantly filled with coldness. And Cheney, who was on the side, was fiery: "Panama? How dare Noriega take the initiative to attack us? It's like looking for death! Mr. President. I propose that we immediately draw up a plan for the invasion of Panama, overthrow the Noriega government, and install a government friendly with us! ”

Since the Vietnam War, the United States has not made a big move, the military. It's for war! The United States needs enemies, it needs war, to prove that taxpayers' money is not spent in vain!

"I approve the proposal." Bush said: "It's time for our military to show its might, and it will be easy for us to overthrow a small country!" ”

The army must prove it to the world. The American army is the strongest! Besides, this is a war on our own doorstep, and if it is fought like the Bay of Pigs in Cuba, then the US military will simply be automatically disbanded.

This inconspicuous incident caused the US war machine to kick off at full speed, and their target was Panama!

Baker on the side couldn't help but say, "What about India?" ”

At present, the United States does not yet have the ability to win two local wars at the same time, and the main force of the United States is still in Europe, guarding against a possible counterattack by the Soviet Union; now, it has to go all out to fight a war at its own doorstep; if it interferes in India's internal affairs again, then the army will not have sufficient capacity at all, and if nothing else, the logistical support will absolutely not be able to supply it.

The topic that was just discussed was how to deal with Pakistan's dominance in South Asia, which was considered the number one threat facing the United States, and now it suddenly became a response to Panama.

Hearing Baker's words, Bush said: "In the case of India, we in the United States can first exert diplomatic pressure and wait until we have settled Panama and then go back to dealing with the Indian issue." ”

For the United States, the matter at its own doorstep is, of course, the most important. Besides, in Bush's eyes, the Panama issue can be resolved very quickly, and it should not be too late to deal with India's affairs when the Panama issue is dealt with.

He didn't know that the situation in the princely state of Hyderabad, India, was simply unpredictable.

The Indian army's offensive was fierce, and under their powerful offensive, the rebels in the princely states of Hyderabad were defeated one after another, and finally, they were driven to the southeast corner of the city, and they were just around the corner.

Government buildings, television stations, and power plants were taken by Indian government forces one by one, and the situation was very unfavorable to the rebels in the princely state of Hyderabad, and if they continued to hold out and did not withdraw, it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.

"Boom!" With the explosion of a cannonball, there was a tremor on the ground.

"Whoa, whoa." The concrete above the head began to fall and crumble, and it seemed that this basement would not last long.

Everyone's face was ugly, they thought that a dirty bomb attack would make the Indian government compromise, but now, they attacked even more fiercely!

"We should have quit fighting guerrillas a long time ago! This city still has to be captured by the Indian government army! Salad said, his face was pale at this time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he hadn't had a good night's sleep all these days.

"Our perseverance will set an example for the people of Hyderabadstan, and we are warriors who fought bloody battles for the establishment of the country!" "Besides, we haven't failed yet, maybe it's just a turning point!" ”

"A turning point? Our people are almost gone, how can we turn around? "Salad really regrets it, he definitely doesn't want things to be the way they are, there is no one in his hands, what else can he use to fight a war and build a country?

"The turning point is now!" Just then, a loud voice came from outside.

Hearing this, Massoud suddenly burst into joy that Osama had finally returned!

His face was also tired, but the light in his eyes was still dazzling, and the murderous aura was very heavy, so Mr. Ben came to these people.

"Mr. Ben, didn't you say you were going to New Delhi to detonate a new dirty bomb?" Salad said.

"New Delhi? I didn't go, it was too far. Osama said lightly: "Moreover, I claim to make an explosion in New Delhi, but that is just a claim, the police there are already prepared, and it is easy to fail to go there." ”

"Shall we just wait?" Salad continued.

"Of course not, our attacks will not stop, and we are here to reflect our value." Osama said: "We're going to attack, and we're going to attack the government forces!" ”

The target of the attack was the government army! It's going to strike here! Hearing Osama's words, Salad was stunned for a moment, and then began to shake his head: "No, no, this is the capital of our Hyderabadstan, and creating an attack here will destroy our city!" ”

Salad had never thought of launching an attack here, it was madness!

"You don't agree?" Osama's eyes were cold.

This guy is a devil! Salad didn't dare to meet Osama's gaze at all, this guy was in Calcutta, killing dozens of innocent people! As for the number of people who have been exposed to radiation, there are thousands!

"No, of course not." Salad knows that as long as he doesn't say a word, the other party will really kill him! Salad's men were all sent to the front, and the people who were responsible for protecting them here were all brought by Massoud.

"Hmph, you're not afraid of radiation yourself, are you?" Osama said.

This sentence really spoke to Salad's idea, and when he heard that a dirty bomb attack was going to be launched here, the first thing that came to his mind was, of course, whether he would be exposed to radiation!

Seeing that this guy didn't speak, but his lips moved, Osama knew that this guy thought so, so Osama patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, it's the east wind blowing now, and our people will detonate it in the western city, so even if a dirty bomb is detonated now, those radioactive dust will only fly west with the wind, and it won't affect us here." In these two days, as long as we do not drink the contaminated water, there will be no problem, the day after tomorrow, there will be a heavy rain, the heavy rain will completely wash away the radioactive fallout, we just stay here and wait until the rain is over, we can regain the whole city, we will defeat the Indian government army, we will turn a new page in Hyderabad! ”

Hearing Mr. Ben's words, Salad finally agreed, and when the fear passed, the excitement gradually took over his mind, and he drove out the Indian government army, and his side ushered in a complete victory!

Osama's face showed his characteristic smile again, he seemed to have seen the tragic situation of those Indian government soldiers, let them go to hell! (To be continued......)
