In North America, Washington, the capital of the United States, has been reduced to ruins after being attacked by airstrikes.
Roosevelt and others who had escaped by chance were at a loss in the face of such a mess. For a moment, they didn’t know what to do and what to plan next!
After the destruction of Washington, it was obviously no longer suitable to continue to serve as the capital, and this place was too close to the coastline. If the German army continued to attack them, they might still be unable to resist.
So, the people of the United States discussed it internally for a while and finally decided to move the capital.
Considering that the core areas of the United States are in the eastern coastal areas and the Great Lakes area in the north, and the coastal areas are prone to air strikes, it is definitely impossible to consider moving the capital here.
Since these coastal cities in the east cannot be considered, they can only move inland.
However, because the German army and the rebels are confronting the US army in Florida, if they move the capital, it is not good to be too close to the war zone. Therefore, after screening internally, the government of the United States finally chose the star city of Chicago in the north as the new capital!
After deciding on the new capital, the Eagle Sauce people immediately started to get busy. Senior government officials and military troops arrived in Chicago first.
However, before they could settle down, bad news came from South America. Those countries in South America were flirting with Hans and seemed to be turning their backs on them and joining Hans!
This news made the Eagle Sauce people panic and extremely angry!
“South America is very important to us. If it falls into Hans’ control, the Panama Canal will inevitably be cut off. Once the canal is cut off, our navy in the Pacific will lose contact with the Atlantic Fleet, and it will be difficult to continue to use the convenience of sea transportation to transport resources and goods between the east and west coasts!”The reason why the Eagle Sauce wants to control South America is determined by their own special geographical location!
The Eagle Sauce is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. These two wide oceans have become their barriers, protecting them from foreign invasions.
However, the oceans on both sides of the east and west have led to another problem, that is, the power of the Eagle Sauce is very dispersed.
Originally, the Eagle Sauce was just a country in the coastal area of the Atlantic Ocean. Their navy initially only operated on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, but with the continuous development of their territory, they eventually expanded to the Pacific coast. In order to further expand their sphere of influence and to seize control of the Pacific Ocean from the foot basin, the Eagle Sauce established the Pacific Fleet decades ago.
However, after the establishment of the Pacific Fleet, the Eagle Sauce began to realize a problem: due to the geographical barrier , if they fight with local enemies in the Pacific, the fleet on the Atlantic side will have to go around the entire South America to rush to the Pacific to provide assistance!
And for this round, they have to sail at least more than 20,000 kilometers, which will take at least three months!
By the time they arrive, it will be too late!
The war situation changes rapidly, and the weak Tai fleet obviously can’t wait for them, so the Eagle Sauce urgently needs a way to shorten their sailing distance as much as possible. This waterway is the Panama Canal later!
The construction of this canal is of great significance to the Eagle Sauce. Its appearance solved the problem of maritime communication between the east and west sides of the Eagle Sauce, and greatly shortened the travel time between the two sides. In a sense, the Panama Canal is to the Eagle Sauce what the sun never sets on the Suez Canal!
This is simply their lifeline, and it is something that cannot be lost.!
In order to control the Panama Canal, the Eagle Sauce tried every possible means, even at the cost of provoking a war, splitting Colombia and making Panama independent from Colombia.
And in order to firmly control the canal in its own hands, the Eagle Sauce even artificially drew a line on both sides of the canal, turning the area where the canal is located into its own territory, and even planted its own national flag, declaring that this is its own protectorate.
The weak Panama has no way to deal with the Eagle Sauce. Although it is very angry, it is powerless. It can only watch the Eagle Sauce create a country within a country in its own country and forcibly divide Panama into two parts, north and south!
To be honest, the Eagle Sauce provoked a war with Colombia in order to seize the Panama Canal, and then used the method of big bullying small to bully Panama. This behavior left a very bad impression in the hearts of the South American countries, making them… They are extremely wary of the power of the Eagle Sauce.
Therefore, once they completely turn to Hans, these countries will definitely cut off the Eagle Sauce’s lifeline and give it a fatal blow!
This truth is not only understood by these countries in South America, but also by the Eagle Sauce itself.
They know very well how annoying they are in the hearts of their neighbors in South America, so they attach great importance to the infiltration and suppression of these countries, and do not want them to rise successfully one day and then gain the strength to resist themselves.
Originally, their suppression plan went very smoothly. The countries in South America gradually fell into the trap of resource-based countries. They exported a large amount of cheap resources and food, which caused the industrial development of their own countries to stagnate. Moreover, because of the destruction of the Eagle Sauce, the domestic political situation in these countries was often turbulent, and social security gradually deteriorated!
These have destroyed the foundation for the development of local industries, and these countries cannot develop and expand their own industries, so they cannot surpass the Eagle Sauce in hard power, and their threat to the Eagle Sauce will naturally no longer exist!
Originally, according to the Eagle Sauce’s idea, such a plan would last for a few decades, and then use financial means to harvest them a few times, and these countries would be completely useless.
But the Eagle Sauce did not expect that after these countries knew they were powerless to fight against the Eagle Sauce, they would actually choose to seek foreign aid, and they even found foreign aid that posed a huge threat to the Eagle Sauce. Now, the situation is doubly bad!
“Mr. President, I think we should send troops to the Panama Canal immediately, at least to control it. Otherwise, if these South American countries really collude with Hans, the Panama Canal will be in danger!”Admiral Jin, the commander of the navy, was shocked when he heard the news. The first thing he thought of was definitely the interests of the navy.
For the navy, the Panama Canal is of vital importance, so he least wants the canal to be taken away by the enemy!
“However, our navy is currently focusing its main efforts on competing with Hans’ navy for control of the sea in the Atlantic Ocean. Do we have the spare energy to send troops to Panama?”
The location of Panama is very critical. The terrain here is narrow, and there are oceans on both sides. If there is no navy, their troops here will be attacked by the enemy from the east and west. At that time, they will definitely not be able to stand!
This sentence silenced everyone. The navy’s manpower is not enough, and they are too busy to do anything!
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, President Roosevelt sighed, and then said firmly:
“It seems that this is the only way to go!”
