Central America, Caribbean Sea. The Greater Andrés and Lesser Antilles are like a chain that separates the Caribbean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. In the early days, the islands were colonized by Spain and Portugal. But as the two old colonial powers declined, Britain and France took their place. After the rise of the United States, the entire Caribbean became the sphere of influence of the United States.

Americans have always made the Caribbean their backyard. China, however, has succeeded in driving a wedge in the Caribbean. First, the Mexican coup d'état, with the pro-Chinese Madero government taking control of most of Mexico's territory, while the U.S.-backed Díaz was able to survive in a few northern Mexican states. In addition, after the end of the Middle East war, China acquired Guadeloupe, an important island in the Lesser Antilles, from France. Although China's influence in the Caribbean is weak, after the acquisition of Guadeloupe and the establishment of a military port on Basseterre on the island, China's influence in such an area has been greatly expanded!

Guadeloupe is located in the middle of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Caribbean Sea to the west, the Strait of Guadeloupe to the northwest, and the Dominican Strait to the south. It has a tropical rainforest climate with an average temperature of 26C. Columbus arrived on the island in 1493 and it was ruled by Spain in the 16th century. In 1635, French colonists occupied the island. It was later won by the British several times. In 1815 it was again under French rule. After the Middle East War, defeated France transferred the island to China.

Guadeloupe consists of several islands in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Caribbean Sea. The closest to the main islands are the British Dependency of Montserrat in the northwest and Dominica in the south. Martinique, another French overseas department, is located about 119 km to the south. Guadeloupe's main territory is the twin islands of Basseterre to the west and Grande de Terre to the east, separated by the narrow channel Strait de Salé; The other islands in the archipelago are Marie-Galant Island in the southeast, Radesilard Island in the east, and Sage Island in the south. Two other island dependencies – Saint Barthélemy and Saint Maarten.

Basseterre Island covers an area of 943 square kilometres and is a line of mountains that stretch from north to south, with the highest point being the Soufrières mountain at 1,467 metres high. Other notable peaks are the 1,354-meter-high Santuche Mountain and the 1,263-meter-high Grand Decouvelt Mountain. The mountains form a watershed, from which the rivers flow to the sea. The main river on the island is the Gauvis River; The other rivers are the Great Pleine, the Petit Pleine, the Mustique, the Lezalde, and the Ross. Basseterre Island has a beautiful coastline consisting of winding bays and picturesque beaches. Grande Terre covers an area of 570 square kilometres and is generally low, with only a few steep slopes above 149 metres. The islands of Sint Maarten and Saint Barthélemy have rugged terrain, with heights of 424 and 281 meters respectively.

After China acquired Guadeloupe. A large number of fortifications were built on the island, and a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition were stored. Because this island is isolated from overseas, it must be prepared to hold on for a long time. On the island, the Chinese deployed two battalions of defenders, one battalion for infantry. Garrisoned all over Guadeloupe. The other battalion was the Coastal Defense Force, which was responsible for guarding the fortress of the port of Basseterre. The fortress of the port of Basseterre, which took China three years to build, had four batteries and thirteen fortresses, and a total of sixteen 210-mm coastal defense guns, 32 155-mm coastal defense guns and dozens of 105-mm and 75-mm guns were deployed. The Chinese Navy also deployed a small fleet of four light cruisers and four destroyers in Guadeloupe. The main task of this fleet was to cruise the Caribbean Sea, especially the Panama Canal estuary. If a large warship of the U.S. Navy is found trying to pass through the Guò Canal, it will immediately report to the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, so that the Pacific Fleet can intercept the large warship of the U.S. Navy at the mouth of the Pacific Ocean in the Panama Canal. After the opening of the canal, the U.S. Navy tried several times to quietly allow battleships to open the Guò canal. went to the west coast, but was repeatedly discovered by the Chinese Navy and blocked back in time, which made the US Navy hate itchy. And this small fleet in Guadeloupe naturally contributes to it!

September 15, 1911. The Great War in Europe was in full swing, and Germany and Britain and France were fighting a major war in northern France and in Belgium. Although the German offensive was very ferocious. However, the Anglo-French forces were also resilient, and after paying a huge price, they finally resisted the German attack. However, Britain and France were also under increasing pressure, and the two countries continued to urge Russia to intensify their attack on Germany, and at the same time, the United States, another important member of the Entente, also became the target of the two countries' urging. Britain and France demanded that the United States send at least 200,000 troops to Europe. Under such circumstances, the United States has no choice but to provoke a war with China first.

On the afternoon of 15 September, a large fleet of twenty large battleships, flying the Star-Spangled Banner, passed through the waters south of the Cayman Islands, and consisted of dozens of heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers. Behind it, there are more than 20 transport ships!

On board the battleship Nevada, the flagship of the US fleet, Admiral William Benson, commander of the West Coast Fleet of the US Navy, is assigning tasks.

"General Abore, let's separate here! I led the main force of the fleet through the Guò Panama Canal to fight against the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy. You lead part of your fleet to Guadeloupe. The Chinese have only a few light cruisers and destroyers in Guadeloupe, I will give you two 'Delaware-class' battleships and two 'Florida-class' battleships, as well as two heavy cruisers and some light cruisers and destroyers. Be sure to occupy Guadeloupe and uproot the Chinese stronghold in the Caribbean! Admiral William Benson said.

"Yes, General! I'll get the job done! Major General Edward Abor said firmly. With so many powerful warships to deal with Guadeloupe, which has only a few small warships, if he still fails, then he probably won't have the face to live.

"General Kunz, the fleet of the Chinese Navy in Guadeloupe is nothing to worry about, the only thing to worry about is the coastal defense fortresses of the Chinese. In addition, the Chinese had two battalions of more than 2,000 defenders there, and at the same time built a large number of fortifications on the hills of Basseterre Island. It is not easy to occupy the whole island of Guadeloupe. Our Marine Corps has just been formed for a short time and is not very experienced. So be careful in battle! William Benson reminded the island. The U.S. Marine Corps has just been formed, and there are only three divisions in total, and this time it was the 2nd Marine Division that was responsible for landing on Guadeloupe.

"Yes, General!" Major General Edward Abor nodded, but he was a little unimpressed!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the American fleet parted ways. Admiral William Benson led the main fleet to the southwest and headed for the Panama Canal. At the same time, a large number of light cruisers and destroyers have already departed, ready to repel the warships of the nearby Chinese Navy. According to the plan, they will arrive at the canal around nine o'clock in the evening and open the Guò canal by tomorrow morning, thus avoiding the interception of the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy.

Rear Admiral Edward Abor led a fleet of four battleships and continued south to Guadeloupe, preparing to dispose of China's only naval base in the Caribbean.

At 9 p.m. on the 15th, the American fleet arrived at the Panama Canal and began to open the Guò Canal. However, due to the large number of canals, it may take a full day to fully access the Guò canal. However, as long as the capital ship passes first, they will not have to be afraid. Perhaps because God is on the side of the Americans, the Chinese Navy has only one light cruiser at the mouth of the east side of the Panama Canal. After being driven away by the US Navy, they retreated to the south. After reporting to the Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy, it did not attract the attention of the Pacific Fleet. In the past two years, the navies of China and the United States have also been regularly chasing each other in the Caribbean.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of the 16th, all the 'Nevada-class' and 'New York-class' battleships of the U.S. fleet had already passed through the Panama Canal, and the follow-up warships would all pass through Guò within three hours.

At this time, the fleet led by Rear Admiral Edward Abor also appeared in the sea less than fifty kilometers from the port of Basseterre in Guadeloupe. The destroyer "Conghua" of the Chinese Navy spotted the incoming American fleet and sent a telegram to the port of Basseterre at the first time!

The detachment of the Chinese Navy in Guadeloupe consisted of four 'Ningbo-class' light cruisers and four 'Fuqing-class' destroyers, namely the light cruisers 'Foshan', 'Huizhou', 'Jiangmen' and 'Zhanjiang', and the destroyers 'Conghua', 'Zengcheng', 'Lechang' and 'Nanxiong'. At this time, in the port of Basseterre, there were two light cruisers and two destroyers, and the rest of the battleships were on duty outside!

The commander of the Guadeloupe Naval Base was Navy Colonel Yu Boxuan, and after receiving the telegram from the destroyer 'Conghua,' his face could not help but change drastically; on the one hand, he ordered the naval base warship to leave the port immediately, and at the same time ordered the coastal defense troops to prepare for war. On the other hand, it is to immediately send telegrams to the Pacific Fleet and the country. The Americans obviously had bad intentions in sending so many warships this time.

At 6:25 a.m., U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Edward Ebor ordered the fleet to attack the destroyer "Conghua" of the Chinese Navy, and the Battle of Guadeloupe began, and the third Sino-American war began!
