Chapter 750 It's going to be an earthquake

A touch of golden sun slowly rose from the east, shining on the dilapidated fortress of San Lorenzo. The crooked cannons, smashed castles, and charred outer walls all give people a feeling of ancient desolation. As the sun rises higher and higher, large areas of white fog began to rise in the rainforest around the fortress. After resting all night, the seabirds fluttered their wings and flew to the distant Caribbean Sea.

Pushing open the door, Li Mo stretched out fiercely. The rainforest in the early morning was full of a comfortable smell. After taking two deep breaths, he not only relieved the fatigue of the night, but also made him feel as if his heart was a few years younger.

He only secretly arrived in Panama yesterday, and then took a boat along the canal to the former headquarters of the U.S. military. He came to Panama for the first time in his life. To be honest, his greatest wish in his last life was to carry his bag and travel around the world with his loved ones. Unfortunately, his studies are valued by the country, and his wife is also a member of the National Defense University. Since he came back from studying abroad, he has been restricted from traveling abroad, so there are really not many places to go, so he is obsessed with National Geographic magazine. I watched almost every episode, and I also specially asked American students to buy CDs and send them to my collection. Now I think that if it weren't for watching this famous American program over and over again, I might not have his today.

"Looking at the geography magazines shot by the United States to find resources, it created the current Emperor Li and in turn to invade the United States. Well, who let no one in Citigroup cross over!" Emperor Li quickly found a reason for himself.

Li Mo is an emperor who can't sit still, which has become a secret known to everyone in the senior management of Xinhua. In previous years, there were only a few people in Yanjing during peacetime. Especially what gives everyone a headache is that it's okay to walk all over the land of China. Anyway, Xinhua is yours, but in summer, he likes to go to the island to bask in the sun, and in the Kanchajia Peninsula to ski in winter. "Hobby" is really unique.

I'm not satisfied with running in China, and I always want to run abroad. Fortunately, after becoming an emperor, I realized a lot under the advice of Li Enfu and others. After all, the emperor's visit was a great thing, and I didn't dare to run around again after the beginning of the war, so it was rare to come out this time. Naturally, I wanted to go to a few more places to see.

Eyes determine success or failure!

Li Mo couldn't remember where he saw this sentence, but he thought it was very reasonable, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he constantly advocated the idea of going out through newspapers. In this era without the Internet and no TV, this is to deepen the deep blue thought of the people, and take this opportunity to let generations of people living on the loess understand that the world The world is really the only way.

For more than 20 years, under his imperceptible transformation, many people in China have begun to accept this idea of going out, but most of them are still active in the South China Sea and other offshore. However, he believes that there will be more people going out in the future, especially those who have left military footprints in Australia and Panama. Soldiers who seize the opportunity to come out to see the world will urge young people to go abroad after bringing back the news from a foreign country.

Later generations say that the Chinese people are serious and hard-working, but they are not as good as foreign countries in innovation. In fact, in Li Mo's opinion, the reason is very simple, because the Chinese people have been closed for too long, from the weakness of the Qing Dynasty to the division of warlords, civil war resistance, and then they were rejected by most countries in the world because of their relationship with the Soviet Union, and finally there was a cultural catastrophe. Can it also be open? In contrast, in Europe in that era, the great powers were transformed into empires. World War I and World War II prompted the outbreak of science and technology. At the same time, the war also caused many people to leave the war-torn countries and travel around the world.

The more you take, the wider your vision will be, and your thinking will not be constrained. Moreover, if enterprises in a completely market-oriented economy want to survive for a long time, they can only be forced to innovate to attract customers.

Now I have come back and changed the fate of the country, so that generations of young people begin to yearn for and gradually go to the world. When they return to China with a broad vision, what will happen to this country in the future?

Li Mo laughed dumbly and felt that he was thinking a little far away. Just as he was about to go back to the house, Du Dazhuang had already come over: "Your Majesty, the car is ready."

" OK, wait for me to change my clothes."

Li Mo nodded, thinking that the "meat shield" that was arranged by Fubo to block the gun was probably the best example of going out. From a poor boy who didn't understand anything and almost became a slave, he became the commander of the Royal Guard Corps who could speak three foreign languages and traveled almost all over five continents. If not Come out, how can there be today?

The heavily armed convoy soon drove out of the fortress. Although they knew that there were few people from Li Mo, the royal guards and the military still did not dare to take it lightly. When Li Mo arrived at the bombed lock, the surroundings were already full of secret agents and casual guards.

In addition to Li Enfu and Chen Ping, he was accompanied by Cai E, who was temporarily stationed here to protect the canal and Panama. Emperor Li was not very familiar with history, so he wanted to ask if this good-looking teacher had met Xiao Fengxian, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

The upper and lower reaches of the lock have been cut off and blocked. Tens of thousands of U. military prisoners and engineers from China are repairing the lock. After seeing Li Mo, they didn't think much about it. They thought they were officials who came to inspect. After all, there are a lot of people who have come here recently, especially the navy, and senior officers will arrive almost every week. Inquire and inspect the progress of the project.

"Is the damage serious? How long will it take to repair it?

"Fly to the emperor." Cai E said, "The Americans use a lot of explosives. The lock and the cement structures on both sides are seriously damaged. Now we have blocked the upstream and downstream, but according to the engineer, I'm afraid it will take until April to completely repair it."

"April?"

Seeing Li Mo's eyebrows slightly raised, Chen Ping hurriedly said, "Not only for maintenance, but we are also going to take this opportunity to widen the width of the lock. The width of the three locks in front is 28 meters, but we have measured that it is only about 26 meters, so we need to widen it."

Hearing this, Li Mo understood that the maximum width of the Western Qin aircraft carrier was 28 meters when it was built. At that time, it was considered to pass through the Panama Canal, but I didn't expect that the width here was only 26 meters. Fortunately, I found it. Otherwise, when the aircraft carrier came over and found that I could not pass, it would be a tragedy.

Li Mo swept away the black and oppressed American prisoners of war: "How many people are there?"

"There are a total of 190,000 people, of whom the disabled have been arranged to go to Colombia for local treatment and supervision, 10,000 are dredging and repairing the canal, and 10,000 are responsible for repairing the bombed canal railway, and the rest are temporarily detained."

"More than 100,000 people are imprisoned, and I'm afraid they will consume a lot of food!"

"Ha ha, yes, but this is a matter in Colombia. We helped them defeat Panama, and the prisoners of war naturally depend on them."

"You can do it!"

Li Enfu raised his thumbs up. This is not a fake compliment. He handed over the most troublesome prisoners of war to Colombia for detention. This matter was absolutely intentional by the General Staff. In addition, New Zealand's super-large "prior camp" managed by Han made Xinhua save a lot of unnecessary waste of resources, otherwise it would be the support of millions of prisoners of war. The problem is that the Prime Minister's Office is about to die.

While talking, several medium-sized cargo ships suddenly appeared in the distant river, which made Li Mo a little curious and quickly looked at Cai E, the temporary commander-in-chief here. Cai E hurriedly said, "It's a naval transport ship that transports torpedo boats and oil for foster care."

"Trpedo boat? Isn't the lock still open? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I know this is the idea of Cheng Biguang, the chief of staff of the navy." Chen Ping immediately said, "The navy feels that if there are no patrol ships, the air force alone will be disturbed by others, and there are now more and more Allied warships entering the Caribbean, and they also need a force to ensure the safety of Panama's east coast."

"How to cross the canal?"

"Ha ha." Chen Ping pointed to the back and smiled, "Your Majesty, you forgot that there is also a natural Chagres River over there. The navy blew up a gap with explosives last month and is dredging it. Although the water is shallow and there are many reefs, the torpedo boat can still pass, and the navy is ready to continue to dig bigger and wants to deploy the submarine. Come on."

"The navy moved very fast this time and began to hoard supplies here through the canal, but there are still some problems with the dock." Chen Ping continued, "The maximum depth of water in the harbor of San Lorenzo Fortress is only 7.5 meters. Except for the cruiser, the other capital ships can't dock, so Long Guozhang is in a hurry."

"I don't think he is anxious to find a place to stop the boat, but to think that the Pacific Ocean has no rivals. He wants to enter the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean as soon as possible!" Li Enfu joked.

"Ha ha, there's nothing we can do. The depth of the water in the Chagres River is less than 3 meters, so we have to wait for the canal to open."

Several people walked forward while talking and laughing. In addition to the canal, the railway along the canal is also under intensive maintenance. Compared with the canal, the damage of the railway is not very serious. It is probably that the United States feels that it is enough to destroy the canal. Coupled with the maintenance of tens of thousands of prisoners at night, it is expected that the whole line will be opened to traffic at the end of next month. In this way, the transportation volume from Panama City to Canada will be greatly increased, laying a solid foundation for the navy to enter the Atlantic Ocean.

"Report."

The sound of the report interrupted Huanyu. Chen Ping walked over and picked up the telegram and looked at it. He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What's wrong? Did Sun Jiugong come from? Thinking of the current key battle in Arizona, Li Enfu's heart suddenly thumped and asked urgently, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's not. The Albuquerque Bridge was successfully taken down, but." Chen Ping handed the telegram to Li Mo and said, "At the last moment, the British artillery still damaged the bridge surface seriously. It seems that it is impossible to pass through tanks and heavy equipment for the time being.

Now the infantry has established a new defense line on the east bank of the bridge. In addition, the reconnaissance aircraft have found three strands to support the U.S. military. In terms of scale, there is at least one army. In addition to Allenby and the army that arrived last night, Albuquerque will have gathered three armies in five days at most.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mo knew why Chen Ping's face changed slightly. The inability to pass the tank meant that he could not quickly take Albuquerque, and it became impossible to quickly open the Rio Grande. With the continuous increase of troops from the United States, a city-centered war of attrition. It will be staged.

"How's the special service?" Compared with Albuquerque, Li Mo is more concerned about the elite airborne soldiers who made their debut for the first time.

"327 people were killed or injured, of which 197 were killed."

Li Enfu and Cai E both took a breath of cold air, a total of more than 700 people, and they lost nearly half of them at once, which was really heartbreaking.

"It's not a pity. If the troops don't fight, they can't become elites. What's more, the bridge is still maintained. As long as the U.S. military in Arizona is solved, it will only take a few weeks to repair it. I think we can summarize the use of paratroopers in the future and strengthen the use of paratroopers through this battle, compared with robbing Albuquerque. Much stronger!" Chen Ping was open-minded first. The damage of hundreds of people was really nothing in a war that determined millions of people. However, the appearance of airborne troops has quietly changed the style of infantry combat. Imagine that if it was not a reinforced battalion, but a division, the result would be very different, so Summarizing this valuable experience is the most important thing at present.

"That's right." Li Mo nodded: "Let the special service regiment go back to China to rest, and by the way, draw out experienced veterans to guide the current airborne regiments."

"Four bombers and transport aircraft have passed the test and finalization. At present, they are working overtime in China, so you must strengthen the summary of experience and lessons, and you should also start to study the methods and techniques for the landing of heavy equipment." Li Mo continued: "Airborne troops! It will be our rapid response force to deal with regional conflicts and even wars in the future. Now it has been exposed to the world. Although countries can't use planes now, they can always catch up slowly, so we should use this rare practical lessons and experience to accelerate our advantages in this regard!"

"What the emperor said was that Enfu had never thought before that the army could be sent to a strange area hundreds of kilometers away in a few hours. The airborne troops did change the tactics, so we need to continue to strengthen it. When the aircraft technology is more advanced in the future and deploy several divisions behind the enemy in the blink of an eye, I'm afraid anyone will I have a headache."

"Ha ha." After a few words, everyone slowly forgot that they had not done all their work. When they were about to go back, the accompanying staff came over with another telegram. Read it." There were no outsiders around this time, so Chen Ping simply asked him to read it out.

"Report to the emperor, General Sun called and said that Lieutenant General Carl of the U.S. military sent a major named George Marshall to discuss the surrender." Surrender? No kidding?!" Even people like Chen Ping were dumbfounded by this news. Although Li Mo was made a few times by the name George Marshall, it was not the time to consider whether to kill him or not, so he grabbed the telegram to see if someone was joking with him. Only Li Enfu seemed to be thoughtful.

"There are still more than one million troops. What should this guy pay attention to? Does Mr. Li know?" After reading the telegram, Li Mo found that Li Enfu seemed to be thoughtful and immediately asked.

"Your Majesty." Li Enfu's face gradually became solemn: "I think we should be prepared. I'm afraid there will be an earthquake in the United States and the agreement!"
