: 0.109s Scan: 0.105sCompared with the methodical operation of the German army, the Allied forces seemed a little overwhelmed!
“Our reconnaissance planes have spotted the German fleet, and they are heading rapidly towards the Bermuda Islands. It is estimated that they will arrive at the Bermuda Islands tonight!”
The intelligence from the front line is quite unfavorable to the Allies. The Germans acted very quickly. After winning the naval battle, they did not stay for too long, but immediately marched towards the Bermuda Islands, leaving them with less than three days to react!
Three days is not long, but it is not short either.
The key to the problem is, within three days, how many troops can they mobilize to support the defenders on the Bermuda Islands?
“The Atlantic Fleet is definitely unable to be mobilized. They are currently confronting the German Northern Fleet, which has assembled heavy troops in our northeast direction. In addition, the enemy’s fleet not only has a large number of battleships, but also has larger and more advanced aircraft carriers!”
The German army is developing a new generation of aircraft carriers. This news has been spread to North America more than a year ago, but because there is no solid evidence to prove this, they have never been able to confirm it.
However, this time in the battle with Lütjens’ Northern Fleet, the US reconnaissance aircraft was fortunate enough to take a few photos of the enemy’s aircraft carriers!
Although these photos are relatively blurry, because the distance is too far, only the general outline of the aircraft carrier can be seen.
However, for naval professionals, based on these photos, they can distinguish the difference between these aircraft carriers and the aircraft carriers currently in service in the German army!
“If the Atlantic Fleet cannot be moved, then the Pacific Fleet can only be dispatched!”The
Pacific Fleet was previously located in the Caribbean Sea. Although there are German submarines here, they are now facing more dangerous enemies and more important tasks, so the threat of submarines is naturally out of their reach!
In addition, the Caribbean Sea is relatively close to the Bermuda Islands, so it is naturally most appropriate to dispatch the Pacific Fleet to rescue the Bermuda Islands.
“In fact, the Pacific Fleet had already set out, but the order given to them before was to rescue the Japanese warships that were stranded. But now we have to focus on defense, so the previous mission can be modified!”
Admiral Jin originally planned to send the Pacific Fleet to gather the remnants of the Japanese army and reduce the losses of the Allied forces in the Battle of Bermuda, but at this time the enemy was coming fiercely, and he had no time to care about those defeated people!
“Can the Pacific Fleet defeat the German Southern Fleet?”
Compared to the problem of the Foot Basin people, everyone is more concerned about the Pacific Fleet’s own problems.
They certainly don’t need to care about the life and death of the Foot Basin people, but they can’t ignore the safety of their own fleet!
Moreover, the Pacific Fleet is one of the main fleets of the Eagle Sauce Navy. Although the strength of the Pacific Fleet is not as good as the Atlantic Fleet, it is at least half of the Eagle Sauce Navy. Sending such a fleet to the battlefield, they are very likely to face a direct collision with the German army. If they win, then everyone will be happy!
But, if they are unlucky, what should they say?
“We have also considered this issue. On paper, the Pacific Fleet is certainly not inferior to the Germans, but the German aircraft carriers are sharp, and they have rich combat experience and tactics that should not be underestimated!”
Admiral Jin is actually not very sure. The number of main battleships in the Pacific Fleet is actually quite large, but the Germans are not weak either, and the German warships are of higher quality. They do not have old ships from the First World War, and almost all of them are new battleships built in recent years!
The power of such warships in naval battles is naturally not to be underestimated. In addition, Nimitz is very good at aviation combat, which the Foot Basin people have experienced before, so Admiral Jin is actually very worried.
He is worried that the Pacific Fleet will suffer a loss in a direct collision at sea, or even a big loss!
To be honest, the Foot Basin people’s joint fleet is stronger on paper than the US Pacific Fleet, but what about being strong?
Wasn’t it completely destroyed by the Germans in one battle?
So, no one can say what happens on the battlefield!
“Of course, the German army had a long expedition, and they had fought a battle with the Japanese army before, so they should be very tired at this time. Their weapons and ammunition must have been consumed seriously, so we may not have no chance in this battle!”
Seeing everyone’s serious expressions, everyone was frightened, and Admiral Jin quickly changed his words and tried to boost morale!
“This is all we can do. I hope General Halsey will live up to everyone’s trust!”
President Roosevelt sighed. He actually had no other choice!
At this time, we can only do our best and leave it to fate.

South America, the capital of Colombia.
When the US Pacific Fleet active in the Caribbean withdrew, Colombian intelligence personnel received the news immediately and immediately reported the news back to the country.
After receiving the news, the Colombian government attached great importance to it and immediately convened an emergency cabinet closed-door consultation meeting.
“”Everyone, the Eagle Sauce people have withdrawn their troops. What do you think?”
Miguel Mendes, the head of the Colombian military government, asked in a calm tone, and then glanced at the people in the meeting room.
Everyone looked eager to try. Obviously, everyone realized that this was a great opportunity for them!
“Mr. President, I think we should send troops immediately, march into Panama, and occupy the Panama Canal!”
Arroyo Tiago, the second in command of the military, stood up and said excitedly.
Since the Colombian Civil War, they have lost control of Panama.
Originally, when there was no canal in Panama, losing such a piece of land was not a big deal.
However, when the Eagle Sauce people spent a lot of effort to open the Panama Canal, everything changed!
With this canal, the connection between the east and west of the American continent instantly became closer.
Ships traveling between the east and west coasts no longer have to bypass the Strait of Magellan in the south, but can take a shortcut and go directly through the Panama Canal.
In this way, they can save a lot of time and cost, so a lot of trade began. With the improvement, the revenue of Panama Canal has soared, and its status has become more and more prominent!
To be honest, if anyone has such a cash cow around them, they can’t help but be tempted!
This is just like the insistence on taking back the Suez Canal after independence. The countries around the Panama Canal, especially Colombia, which once controlled Panama, are even more jealous of this canal!
However, this canal belongs to the Eagle Sauce, and the South American countries dare not provoke the Eagle Sauce, so even if they have any ideas at ordinary times, they can only keep them in their hearts and dare not say them out.
