Chapter 712 Concession? North America!

It's sunny.

In the setting sun, a rainbow crosses over the dilapidated fortress of San Lorenzo, but the beautiful colorful colors are already bringing victory and can no longer attract everyone's attention.

After being patronized by nearly 300 Chinese aircraft during the day, the fortress, which used to be considered unbreakable and could resist the fierce attack of the Xinhua Army, had become dilapidated. The rubble was scattered in every corner, flames rushed up from everywhere, and the fortress cannon modified with naval guns was crooked. If you take a closer look, you can It was found that there were many traces of melting on the barrel.

Now no one will take a look at these fortress cannons, and even a lot of equipment have been ordered to be left behind. The soldiers are crowded to pick up the transport ships they returned. Due to the narrow dock, they can only dock a few at a time. Although there are gendarmes to maintain the order, there is still a crash into the sea, which can't even be heard. One or two harsh gunshots.

"This is a defeated army that has lost its fighting spirit and glory. We are just a loser who wants to escape!"

Looking at the chaotic dock, Tony sighed secretly and quietly wrote this sentence in his notebook. Instead of squeezing forward, he obeyed the final discipline and lined up with more soldiers, waiting for the arrival of a new batch of transport ships.

Next to him, there was a dilapidated corpse, which sent out a strange smell and covered the road from the fortress to the dock. The blood stained the nearby plows, and everything in the eye was a mess.

There was a buzz above his head, which immediately triggered a disturbance. Tony looked up and saw only a Chinese reconnaissance aircraft appearing in the high altitude. Although the anti-aircraft gun had opened fire, it still hovered over the fortress as if it had not seen it.

"It's too high."

Tony shook his head. After being a lookout for half a year, he could roughly distinguish the height of the other party, which was really out of reach for rapid-fire guns and machine guns. Looking at the plane, he suddenly envied the eagle that soared freely. He was not envious of the other party's surname, nor their strength, but that they could fly freely.

"Let me give way, let me give way."

"Help me, God, help me!"

Suddenly, the rapid shout interrupted Tony's thoughts. He turned his head and saw two comrades-in-arms carrying a stretcher. A burned soldier on the stretcher was constantly howling.

The wailing and heartbreaking made the soldiers, including Tony, who were waiting for the transport ship, involuntarily bow their heads. After nearly a year of battle, the U.S. Panamanian Expeditionary Force was completely defeated.

Panama City was occupied, and the Chinese coalition forces were quickly crossing the canal to the north bank with the support of planes and tanks. All morale and morale disappeared in an instant, and a large number of deserters appeared in the blocking forces. At this moment, even if God came, it was impossible to recover.

No one wants to continue to fight. After all, this is not the United States. Even the United States has invested 1.6 million yuan, with a total cost of 400,000 casualties in a year. The number of more than 330,000 captured in the war has made it impossible for people to fight. What's more, today's bombing alone has killed and injured more than 6,000 soldiers. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid you won't be able to win if you run out.

What's more, after the occupation of Panama City, the east-west coast contact was cut off, and the navy became the Atlantic Fleet. It was meaningless to continue to guard Panama, so retreat was the only option.

However, it is not so easy to retreat. Terrible aircraft bombing has become a nightmare for everyone, so only transport ships can enter the port from evening to early morning.

On the dock, a destroyer took the lead in getting out of the shackles of the cable. George Marshall looked at the cabin and walked away. He looked a little lonely, as if he had aged dozens of years old, and sighed in his heart.

"Rumble."

Suddenly, three violent explosions in succession triggered restlessness on the dock and deck, but George Marshall was not nervous at all. Looking at the three huge thick smokes rising from Gaton Lake, he knew that it was the engineers who were ordered to blow up the locks.

After the three locks were blown up, even if Xinhua occupied Panama, it would take almost five months to completely repair it. That is to say, it is impossible for them to make use of the canal before the end of March next year.

This is an extremely critical time. After serving as Pershing's adjutant, he also knew some news. From the perspective of the navy, next March will be the centralized delivery period for warships of Allied countries. Including the United States, at least 13 new capital ships and at least 30 cruisers will be delivered, plus the current warships in the Atlantic Ocean. There will be another super fleet that may be up to nearly a hundred.

This is the last power of the agreement and the last power of the Atlantic Ocean!

According to the analysis of incoming and out telegrams, the senior officials of the agreement have completely given up the strategy of the Pacific decisive battle, and are ready to take advantage of the desolation and depth of the west coast of the United States to drag Xinhua into endless consumption, which has reached the strategy of weakening the enemy and then trying to counterattack.

But the question is, will the United States still have the ability to fight back after the West Coast is in a mess?

The senior officials of the agreement obviously put the treasure on the navy and prepared to take advantage of the many Caribbean islands and the complex natural conditions of the Jedi counterattack, but can they defeat the Xinhua Navy, which has an absolute advantage in equipment?

George Marshall shook his head. These problems are not something that his little major can understand. He only knows one thing. After losing Panama, the Allies lost all the counterattack channels. Although they can still go to Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope, in fact, those two roads are more difficult to go, not to mention Australia's loss. After leaving, Xinhua's naval forces have been sent to any corner of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean without hesitation. The long-range attack ability of the other fleet alone is not comparable to the treaty.

So why do high-level officials do this?

Is it?

An idea immediately rose from Marshall's heart. When the golden light of the setting sun pierced his eyes, he suddenly figured it out!

The senior management already has the idea of promoting peace!

At the thought of this, Marshall felt a bitterness that had never appeared before. After more than two years of war, the agreement finally exhausted all its strength, so he had this kind of thought. But is peace easy? Is it so easy for the Far East arsonist to let Britain and the United States preserve their vitality and negotiate?

If you want to promote, you must first complete two most important things. The first is to consume the strength of the other party on the West Coast, which alone is extremely difficult.

If there is still hope to achieve this prerequisite with depth, then the second one is even more difficult, that is, the Chinese navy must be innovated in the decisive battle in the Caribbean, which is destined to break out, which is more difficult than the previous one!

So, can these two points be achieved? Marshall shook his head. He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he was ready to put everything aside and go back to the cabin to have a good sleep, but the sound of footsteps shattered his dream.

" Major, this is the message I just received. You can give it to General Pershing for me." The staff officer handed the telegram to Marshall. At this moment, no one was willing to face General Pershing's gloomy face directly.

"Both are bad news." Seeing Marshall looking through the telegram, the staff officer handed him a cigarette before he continued, "The army attacking Colombia has begun to retreat like us."

"Oh." Marshall said, this news is not surprising at all. After losing Panama, it is unwise to fight Colombia again. What's more, after playing for seven or eight days, you can't even break through Sinselejo, let alone go deeper! So I immediately opened the second telegram.

"No need to turn it over." The staff sighed: "The news is even worse. The Mexican political axe has issued a mobilization order three hours ago."

"What?!"

Marshal's hand, which had just opened the telegram, suddenly froze. After a long time of stagnation, it seemed that he still didn't believe it and looked at it again, but after reading it, his face suddenly changed.

Sure enough, the telegram said that Mexican President Calanza declared a state of emergency and began to recruit troops on the grounds that the United States deployed a large number of troops on its borders, causing serious security to Mexico. According to the order, Mexico will recruit 1.5 million soldiers within a month to resist possible U.S. aggression. .

Marshall can't describe the feeling at this time, and his heart is covered with a layer of haze. The action of the strong man in the Far East is too fast. Before he can completely beat Panama, he has hooked up with Mexico. Although I don't know how much he has cost, one thing has been obvious. He I don't want the United States to end the war smoothly! I don't want the agreement to have the opportunity to promote peace, and I don't want the war to be out of his hands!

"These damn Mexican bastards, maybe we shouldn't have spared them last time. They miscalculated their strength." The staff officer followed Pershing into Mexico not long ago, so he disdained the combat effectiveness of the Mexican army and did not pay enough attention to it. However, Marshall had understood Li Mo's intention. The Far East strongman would never rely on Mexico. What he only wanted was the second largest human resources in North America owned by Mexico.

Although the Mexican army is very poor, even if it is armed with millions of people, it is impossible to really threaten the United States, but the problem is that when facing a large-scale landing on the west coast, Li Mo's move makes the United States have to do two purposes!

No matter how bad Mexico is, as long as he is armed with 2 million troops, the United States must also take out at least 1 million to fight against each other, that is to say, the troops invested in the West Coast will be reduced by 1 million, unless it is reconscripted again, but is it possible to recruit?

This arsonist, his movements are too fast, too fast!

Marshall took a deep breath and understood why the staff did not give the telegram directly to Pershing. At this time, he went to convey the news. God knew what would happen, so he immediately smiled at the staff: "Do you want me to give it to General Pershing?"

"Thank you so much." The staff officer nodded with a wry smile and looked at his back. Marshall's smile on his face was even worse, not because he was pulled out by others, but because the news was really amazing!

Is it possible not to give this important news to the general? Marshall could only grit his teeth and walk to the cabin.

===== The jeep slowly stopped in Panama City.

Chen Ping, who had just arrived, and Colonel of the Colombian Army, General Staff Erdogan came out side by side. The latter looked at the dilapidated cities around him and was extremely shocked. Although he knew that Xinhua aircraft was powerful, he did not expect that the destructive power would be so strong. At this time, he realized that he chose to stand on Xinhua's side at the beginning. That's right.

In fact, Chen Ping was also quite surprised by the degree of destruction. Although he had long known that the Manniu cloud bomb was powerful, he was deeply shocked by its power after seeing the actual combat effect with his own eyes. Although the city outside the car window is not comparable to a super metropolis like Shanghai and New York, the scale is still ranked first in South America, but the car All the way, I almost saw a complete building, the streets were covered with debris after the explosion, and mottled black blood stains could be seen everywhere.

"Chief of Chief of Staff, General, the U.S. military blew up the Lock of Gaton Lake. In addition, the reconnaissance aircraft found a large fleet in Limon Bay outside the fortress of San Lorenzo. They are evacuating."

"Retreat?" Erdogan took a step forward in surprise. He didn't expect that the extremely powerful U.S. military in the eyes of South Americans would decisively choose to withdraw immediately after losing Panama City.

"Not only from here, the army attacking Sinsellejo has also begun to retreat!"

"Great!" Hearing the news brought by Cai E, Erdogan forgot the shock just now, and the corners of his mouth were about to crack. He promised Xinhua to let the United States land. He really took great pressure. Some people even thought that Xinhua was going to deliberately weaken Colombia, but now, all rumors have disappeared.

Now the U.S. military here is also leaving. In just a few days, the whole state of Central and South America seems to have turned upside down. The good news that Panama's recovery is imminent has made him forget the tragedy around him. For him, it is a great merit to recover Panama, although this merit is obtained by the help of others.

What's more, it's just that a Panama City was blown up. What does it matter? As long as you are not an idiot, you know that controlling the canal is equivalent to having everything.

Chen Ping was not surprised by the news that the pontoon bridge has been built. Now, except for the Cologne area on the Atlantic side, no U.S. troops can be seen in the west of the Panama Canal. Although there are still hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops in the north, it is no longer worthwhile for the United States to continue to defend Panama after the canal is cut off, especially Hou Yi's plan. The core landing plan. With the first fleet of weapons quietly arriving in Mexico three days ago, it is almost impossible for the United States to continue to maintain so many troops overseas.

The loss of Panama City means that the east and west coasts of the United States are divided. Unless there is a counterattack force, the United States can only consume troops in vain if it continues to garrison. Even if the United States does not lack human resources, it does not mean that it is unlimited. When millions of troops in Xinhua are staring at the West Coast, the United States has no strength to maintain I have a garrison overseas.

The only thing that made him feel a little sorry was that the three locks of Jiatong Lake were blown up. Even he had no way. The dense lake became the biggest difficulty in sending troops. It took at least five or six days to take a detour. What's more, even if you can send a small number of troops, you can face dozens of troops. It is impossible for the U.S. military to defend it.

The three locks were bombed, and it will take at least four months to repair them, that is to say, the canal will not be opened until the end of March next year, and the navy will be able to enter the Atlantic Ocean.

March is a key node. Judging from intelligence, a large number of ships in Europe and the United States will be delivered in March, and there are as many as 8 ships in the United States alone. Waiting for the navy to pass the canal is bound to be an unprecedented decisive battle!

Only by defeating the last British and American fleet in the Caribbean can it be said that the war will be won. As for winning the war by land, Chen Ping never thought that after all, it is impossible to fight from the west coast of the United States to the east coast. Therefore, in Hou Yi's plan, the west only consumes a lot of living force, and the point is still In the east.

"General Erdogan, I want to congratulate you here. I think Panama can return to your country in a month at most!" Chen Ping temporarily put down the telegram and congratulated Erdogan first.

"Haha." Although Erdogan was happy, he also knew who helped him get this merit. He quickly said modestly, "No, this is your credit. Without the help of the expensive [***] team, we could not have recovered here."

This guy was clever. Chen Ping laughed and said, "It's a pity that the whole city has been destroyed."

"No, it's not a pity that the war is cruel. As long as we can recover here, we Colombia are willing to pay any price!" Erdogan seemed to be very resentful of Panama's betrayal at the insist of the United States more than a decade ago. He gritted his teeth and said, "These damn bastards should be sent to the gallows!"

Chen Ping smiled and did not continue this topic, because according to the pre-war agreement, after Panama returns to Colombia, Xinhua will automatically have the permanent navigation right of the canal and the permanent garrison in Panama City and the fortress of San Lorenzo to protect the interests of the canal from infringement. As long as the army can be stationed, there will be a consultation. People and their families follow. Although they do not colonize, there will definitely be more and more Chinese in Panama. This method is much better than direct colonization.

However, Chen Ping did not have the idea of continuing to talk about this issue, because there is a political axe behind it. What's more, as long as Colombia is not stupid, it will not violate this agreement. After all, it is not the United States that is greedy for Panama. With Colombia's strength, it can't be kept here without Xinhua, so the top priority is to do it as soon as possible. Take down the whole canal and send an engineering team to repair the lock as soon as possible.

As if to see Chen Ping's thoughts, Erdogan, who was in a good mood, immediately patted his chest and promised, "General Chen, please rest assured that I will report the situation here to the president as soon as possible. The canal is very important to us, and I will let him sail as soon as possible."

"Thank you, General Erdogan." After Chen Ping politely thanked him, he said about Mexico: "General Erdogan, there is something I want to tell you that Mexico has promised to join us."

"Really?!"

Chen Ping didn't seem to see the Colombian general with big eyes. He squinted and asked like an old fox, "Yes, General, can I ask you a question?"

Erdogan, who was immersed in the shock of Mexico joining the alliance, did not react at all, but nodded subconsciously: "What's the problem?"

"There is no problem with Panama. I want to know if the general and your country are interested in attacking the United States with us?" After Chen Ping cigaretteged and exhaled a puff of smoke, he suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe Colombia can get a concession in the North American continent."

"Concession? North America!"

Erdogan swallowed his saliva fiercely. Has Colombia become a powerful country that can own the concession?!
