The Panama Canal in the United States is an important strategic location for the United States. The connections between the Midwest and Western regions of the United States are basically provided by the Panama Canal, which is a symbol of the United States' control of the Americas. The four internationally recognized waterways represent the control of the region. The Panama Canal represents the United States' ownership of the Americas. Its existence is not just a problem with the canal itself.

The United States has almost armed the Panama Canal, but for the fantasy level, it is not a problem. You should know that the previous update of the Panama Canal Fort was 10 years ago. In 10 years, the caliber of the artillery has increased dramatically, from below 11 inches to the current 15 inches. For the artillery of the battleship, the difference of 4 inches is almost a difference of more than 3 generations. Under such premise, it is possible to attack Panama.

However, China has never attacked a dam. The Panama Canal is composed of ship locks. It is located at the front of the Panama Canal. It is a huge dam, which raises the water level to facilitate the passage of ships.

Cheng Qian's sudden whim made the sneak attacks of the United States more complete. This sneak attack on the United States is to prepare to weaken the potential of the United States' war to a certain extent. In the future, when fighting with the United States, it will weaken its strength and the current results have been achieved. However, in the future, China is unlikely to launch a decisive battle with the United States in the Atlantic. It is the core area of ​​the war between the Allies and the Allies. China intervenes in. On the one hand, the sneak attacks of the United States itself will not be of great benefit to the future strategy of the United States, but more of it is support for Germany.

In China's strategic research, Germany's assessment has taken the focus. If Germany did not come forward to resist the pressure of the entire imperialism, China might adopt other methods, such as a more gentle method, rather than entering the war directly. The attack on the United States may be beneficial to China in the long run, but the actual benefits are the Germans.

After the United States joined the war, it was under great pressure on Germany, both for the logistics of the war and for the substantial personnel. Germany only gained an advantage in the current war with the help of China. If we follow the history of history, facing the United States in early participation in the war, the European war might end in 1916. However, now, in the European side, Germany has a clear advantage in the army. Even the navy, even with the support of China's 9 main battleships, Germany was not at a disadvantage.

In 1916, it was an era when the Allies were investing heavily, and Germany was under great pressure. The emergence of sonar weakened Germany's advantages in infinite submarine warfare, but China's submarines and sneak attacks on the United States reversed this situation. In the next year or even two years, the United States' transportation to Europe will be at a low point, which is very important for Germany.

However, although this sneak attack has a huge blow to the potential of the United States, it has no benefit to China. On the other hand, the Pacific battlefield has become a place that China must compete for. In the meantime, the important role of the Panama Canal has emerged. Cutting off the Panama Canal will at least not work to a certain extent, which will become the focus. At that time, the battlefield located in the Pacific will either take a huge amount of experience, detour from Cape Horn, and head to the Pacific Ocean, or you can only watch China conquer cities and territory in the Pacific Ocean.

This era is an era of naval warfare, and the control of the key points on the sea has become the focus of controlling the ocean. Even as an island country, Britain still controlled the Strait of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Malacca. That is, after China launched the Southeast Asian offensive, it lost the Strait of Malacca. However, the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal are still firmly under the control of Britain. Compared with these Straits before World War I, the role of islands was not particularly obvious. Many islands were just to supplement materials or simply produce some kind of raw materials. Once this was not the case, it became a barren and useless existence.

Neither the United Kingdom nor the United States have taken too much attention to islands, and even to a certain extent, they believe that islands are burdensome. Compared with huge colonies, islands not only cannot provide a lot of resources, but some islands in the South Pacific are not resources. However, in some islands, if there is no bird dropping, it is just a meaning of existence.

Compared with the world's naval power, China has entered the era of aircraft carriers ahead of schedule. Under the new war conditions, islands have become an important fulcrum for naval warfare, especially huge islands that are sufficient to build runways and ports. They are strategic locations. As long as these places are controlled, they are threatening areas within the aircraft's range, which are not owned by old islands. Hawaii and Guam are all like this. Even these huge islands can accommodate large enough repair shops and even become military bases.

It is necessary to take advantage of the situation where the United States did not discover the important role of the aircraft and seize many islands in the Western Pacific. With these islands, China does not have to confront the United States in Oceania. The Oceania it has captured also has enough barriers. This is the key. The Panama Canal entered Chengqian's sight at this time. As long as the Panama Canal is cut off to a certain extent, at least in 1916, China will be in an absolutely favorable situation on the Pacific battlefield.

The Panama Canal is a huge project. Cheng Biguang's purpose is to mobilize the US military. It is impossible to destroy it completely. To completely destroy it, it requires not only the navy, but also the army's participation. For China at present, it is almost impossible to send an army to land in Central America. Of course, what Cheng Biguang needs to do is very simple, just destroy the entrance and part of the locks.

Cheng Biguang's part is not far from the Caribbean Sea and is moving at full speed. It took 7 days to arrive near the Panama Canal. As a lock connecting the east and west coasts of the United States, the Panama Canal is quite busy. Many merchant ships waited in front of the lock, waiting for a certain number, and then entered the lock. To be honest, Cheng Biguang's operation did not completely destroy the Panama Canal, just attack the lock. The dam located in the Caribbean Sea is an important part of the Panama Canal. Once it is destroyed, the lock will not be used until the dam is re-established.

The United States did not expect anyone to attack the Panama Canal, but as an important passage for the United States, the Panama Canal is just like the Kiel Canal for Germany. It is absolutely heavy guard, lookout, and even small reconnaissance airships. They found traces of Cheng Biguang's fleet 25 kilometers away and started early warnings.

This warning has no effect. The fantasy-level led by Cheng Biguang has outstanding ground attack power, which has been perfectly verified in New York. Nothing cannons can block his footsteps under the bombardment of 48 heavy artillery, and even a fortress like Panama cannot do it.

The report sent back by the reconnaissance planes clearly marked the protection position of Panama Fortress. In the era without reconnaissance planes, most of the fortress's fortress were not arranged in necessary ways, at least not on the mountain, and the location was clear at a glance.

Battleships suffer a lot of losses compared to shore defense turrets. For the fantasy level, this is no problem. Although the protection of the Panama Canal is at least on a mountain above 70 meters, it has the advantage of being condescending, but it is useless. They only use 11-inch cannons, which is at least a large part of the Chinese naval guns. In naval battles, this can almost beat the other side. When heavy artillery sounds, countless blood and fires pour out.

In the Pentagon in the United States, a shrill alarm sounded again. An emergency telegram from Panama has been sent directly here. Panama, anyone who receives the telegram knows the seriousness of the problem. This important location related to the east and west coasts of the United States has been attacked directly like never before.

Although this is not the mainland of the United States, it is to some extent more important than any local target. The attacker is no one else. It was the Chinese fleet that had previously launched a devastating blow to New York and more than a dozen American harbor cities in the United States, urgently transferred back to the warships, and even ignored the British protests. After searching for more than half a month, the Chinese fleet, which had no trace, ran to the Caribbean.

"What do the Chinese want to do?" A major general said angrily. As the Minister of Equipment, he has been under great pressure recently. Not only more than a dozen ports need to be replenished shore defense cannons, but those warships that were destroyed on the platform have made him whiter. What should he do next? Should these warships be allowed to rage? Compared with other ports, he will lose money. However, Panama worsened and is absolutely in a strategic position.

"Where is our fleet, let them speed up!" Everyone knows the importance of Panama. Not to mention the complete destruction, as long as the Panama Canal is damaged and its locks are damaged, the Panama Canal may have to rest for a while. As long as this time is long enough, China can attack the Pacific Ocean unrestrainedly.

Nothing isolates, especially in the war. In terms of war, China, a sudden attack on the North Atlantic and attacking New York can be seen as a direct blow to the United States and retaliation for Chinese people. However, can the next series of things be said to be so simple, a series of sneak attacks on a series of ports and finally arrived in Panama. It seems that everyone can see clearly the mentality of the United States. The Chinese people's purpose is not for revenge, but a real strategic purpose, that is, to cut off the Panama Canal.

The United States is too far away, so it is impossible to come from Europe. If this is true, he would be better than the Germans who united him to completely defeat the British and then transfer the British from Europe to the United Kingdom. At that time, the United States will definitely not be able to continue, and it can only surrender. However, China did not take the ordinary path and actually wanted to compete with the United States in the Pacific.

The development of the east and west coasts of the United States is not balanced. Heavy industry and strategic ports are on the east coast. There is only one Los Angeles on the west coast, and Houston is not the focus. However, Los Angeles' development is mainly based on the tertiary industry. In this case, their war potential is definitely insufficient. In addition, they pay attention to European relations, and there are almost no defense on the Pacific side, and there are several heavy patrol ships, with no one in the housing patrol and the main battleship.

This also has something to do with the United States' attitude towards China before. If we had known that China had a battleship of the emperor level, the United States that was killed would not dare to be so rude to Chinese. Although Americans are greedy, they have a choice. For example, Britain has a higher level in the United States than Chinese. Do Americans dare to attack the British? Don't dare.

Now, the revenge of the Chinese has come, and they have taught Americans a lesson with powerful power. Although Americans have gained a lot from the Chinese, those are all commodities, and only after they are sold can they have the value of the commodities. I don’t know how much they really are. However, New York’s losses are real, 500 tons of gold, which is absolutely hard currency. If you lose this thing, it is equivalent to the profits of the United States in the war for two years, and basically a water ticket.

At this point, Americans began to pay attention to the Chinese. In a sense, the Chinese had a direct threat to the United States. Before they could adjust, another wave of attacks from the Chinese arrived, directly hitting their weakest link, the Panama Canal. The United States was already attacked by China, and it was overwhelmed with fantasy speed. With unknown how to make a powerful reconnaissance ability, it can attack the weak links of the United States with agile force. Recently, the US side's energy has been placed on local ports, how to increase the defense of the port and increase the mine layout area. However, unexpectedly, China actually targeted the Panama Canal outside the United States.

The Panama Canal represents the United States' control over the Americas. From then on, the fleets on the east and west coasts did not have to dove around Cape Horn in South America, reducing the voyage of 8,000 nautical miles. This is simply too important for the United States. If the attack here is under more than three months, China will seize the opportunity and the American islands in the entire Pacific Ocean will completely fall.
