The army of Columbia crossed the border and appeared in the canal zone.
The Eagle Sauce soldiers stationed in the canal zone had been frightened once before. The militia in Panama had launched an attack on them, which made them very scared for a while.
However, with the arrival of the Sun Never Sets and Foot Basin Navy, their crisis was resolved. These local natives did not dare to provoke them and fled far away.
When they saw the combined fleet of the Sun Never Sets and Foot Basin crossing the canal and entering the Atlantic Ocean, the American soldiers in the canal zone could finally rest assured.
In their view, with the joining of these two powerful navies, including the Eagle Sauce’s own navy, they are enough to protect their territorial waters from infringement, and they may even counterattack and seize the sea control in the Atlantic region!
Once they gain an advantage at sea, then all the countries in South America are within their threat range. In this case, these restless countries naturally dare not act rashly.
With such confidence, the U.S. troops in the canal zone relaxed their spirits immediately. Compared with paying attention to the local indigenous people who might pose a threat to them, they paid more attention to the battle situation in the Atlantic.
Therefore, when the news of the two successive defeats of the Allied Navy in the Bermuda Islands came, the U.S. troops in the canal zone were terrified!
They immediately realized that something was wrong!
Without the protection of the navy, the countries in South America would definitely not let go of this opportunity easily. They would definitely send troops to attack the canal!
Although the U.S. troops in the canal zone have undergone a reinforcement of their forces, their total force is still too small. In this case, it is unrealistic to expect them to fight against enemies from several countries alone!
Therefore, after discovering that something was wrong, the U.S. military immediately took a boat and fled the canal zone and fled to Cuba for refuge!
If they had retreated from the canal zone, the U.S. military would definitely retreat to the Caribbean Sea and then return to their homeland from here.
However, because the German army attacked Texas to the west, the coastline of the southwestern part of the Eagle Sauce had already fallen. If the US troops in the canal zone wanted to return to their homeland, they had to bypass Florida and go to the eastern coastal area of the Eagle Sauce to return to their homeland.
If it were peacetime, it would be fine to do so, but it would only delay them for a while on the road, which was no big deal.
However, now this route is full of danger and uncertainty!
The failure of the Battle of Bermuda means that the maritime forces in the southeastern part of North America were swept away, and the sea control in this large area was completely handed over.
Without sea control, sailing on the trade sea, if you encounter enemy warships, the outcome is self-evident.
The reason why the US troops in the canal zone fled was not to save their lives. Of course, they were unwilling to get out of a fire pit and jump into another fire in a blink of an eye.
So they did not choose to return directly to their homeland, but retreated to the Cuban area controlled by the Eagle Sauce.
The Cuba area is the territory that the Eagle Sauce seized from the Banya during the Spanish-American War. This place is now a colony of the Eagle Sauce. The Eagle Sauce has stationed a lot of army and navy here, and also has a Guantanamo military base. If they flee here, their safety can be guaranteed unless they encounter a large-scale attack by the enemy!
At least, there is a sea between Cuba and the South American countries. For the South American countries that lack a navy, it is still very difficult to threaten them! The US troops in the canal zone did what they said, got on the boat and started to escape. As for the various military supplies in the canal zone and the weapons and equipment they could not take away, the US military burned them directly before retreating.
Seeing the thick smoke coming out of the US military camp in the canal zone, the Columbian army immediately realized that the enemy was escaping, so they sent a small fleet to try to intercept the fleeing US troops from the sea.
Colombia once had a powerful navy decades ago, but it gradually declined in various wars. Later, as the Eagle Sauce became stronger, they could not tolerate the emergence of a powerful navy in their backyard, and the Columbian navy gradually weakened. However
, even if they are weakening, it is not a big problem to put together a small fleet of destroyers and torpedo boats!
Although such a fleet cannot seize the control of the sea, it will die if it encounters the enemy’s main fleet, but if it encounters an Eagle Sauce fleet that is not protected by an escort fleet and is all transport ships and merchant ships, it is simply hanging up and fighting!
Poor American soldiers, they thought they would be safe after escaping from the canal area, but they did not expect that the sea would be even more dangerous!
After being intercepted by the Columbian Navy, most of the American troops who fled in a hurry were sunk at sea, and a small number of them raised the white flag and were captured.
The US military couldn’t figure out why the other side was so fast, and why they just ran away and the other side caught up with them?
They would not have thought that all this was due to the help of the German army.
The German army had long been paying attention to the every move of the US military in the canal area.
When they began to pack up their belongings and prepare to escape, the German army had already contacted the navy of Columbia, so the pursuit fleet of Columbia was dispatched so quickly, and was able to accurately find their sailing route and intercept them before them!
It was raining cats and dogs.
If the defeat in the Battle of the Bermuda Islands was a huge physical blow to the Eagle Sauce, then the fire in their own backyard was a spiritual blow to them!
It is not shameful to be defeated by such a powerful enemy as the German army.
It is just that the skills are not as good as others.
It is not shameful.
But it is quite shameful to be defeated by these third-rate or even fourth-rate countries in South America!
These countries used to crawl at their feet, obeyed their words, and dared not have a word of no!
As a result, today, they dared to jump up and rebel, and sent troops to occupy the Panama Canal, which is so important to the Eagle Sauce!
This not only dealt a huge strategic blow to the Eagle Sauce, but also made the Eagle Sauce feel humiliated and furious!
“These damned southern barbarians, if our Pacific Fleet was still there, I would definitely lead the troops to teach them a lesson!”
The news of the sneak attack by the South American countries made the senior officials of the Eagle Sauce government and the military very angry, and many people clamored to retaliate against these countries.
But they were just shouting, although they were lively, they could not realize it.
“It’s so sad. I never dreamed that one day we would be bullied by these countries. I don’t understand this world anymore!”_
