the world is at stake

These 'heavy cavalry' with sharp guns and thick armor were used intensively, and several divisions of the US military were blasted one after another in North Dakota.There is a "tiger" phobia on the front line. As long as you see the square-headed and square-brained turret and the long-diameter barrel, you will panic.

The "Tiger" that China provided to the United Kingdom was actually less than a hundred vehicles, and the basic equipment was used to teach troops.But after the war started, the British army used these 'Tigers' and matched them with some medium-sized tanks to form five heavy armored battalions to act as 'can openers' on the battlefield.

The performance of this thing is so good that the British guy is overjoyed.

The British army on the battlefield praised its balance, and believed that its high cost was "expensive and justified". After all, only when it wins can it complain about the high price.

In the telegrams sent to their superiors, the British armored soldiers often only had one sentence, "Tiger, Tiger, we don't need anything else, just more Tigers."

In response to the gap opened by the 'Tiger Type', a large number of US troops were filled into the Flesh Mill to block the British attack and delay time.For U.S. military officers and soldiers, it is unbearable casualties and rapidly plummeting morale.

But everyone from Pershing to the logistics quartermaster knows that the US military industry is currently in a disastrous mess, and it will take at least three to six months of adjustments to produce equipment that can rival the 'Tiger'.

What can be done right now is to learn from Maozi and rely on the army's own ordnance maintenance personnel to modify a batch of emergency equipment, or use the state machinery factories to make do with modification.

For example, use the waste from the tank chassis, remove the turret, and install a 105mm cannon on it.Or go a step further and install a 127mm caliber anti-aircraft gun on the chassis, at the cost of completely abandoning defense and concealment.

It has to be said that the national power of the United States is still very strong.These methods are all useful, at least to restore the morale of the U.S. military on the front line, and restore the battle loss ratio to normal, so as not to be beaten helplessly.

Later, after some British armored soldiers were captured, they wanted to know what the Americans used to smash the front armor of the "Tiger" equivalent to 250mm homogeneous steel, so they saw the monster-like tracked large-caliber mobile anti-aircraft gun.

"It's not fair, it's too much for you to hit us with the artillery of a bomber." The British armored soldiers were indignant about this, "The 'Tiger Type' that was hit either had its turret exploded or was torn apart. "

The complaints of the enemy are inspiring.

The U.S. military was extremely happy about this and publicized that it had found a way to restrain the "Tiger" tank, declaring that it had broken the myth of "Tiger is invincible" and called on all Americans to unite and win the Great Patriotic War.

But the propaganda is for civilians, and the 'Brotherhood' feels anxious about the precarious battlefield.They think with horror of the emasculation of Germany and Japan after their defeat in 'World War II'.

If the United States is defeated, these aggressors must not bully the United States like the United States bullied them in the past?As for the means used by the United States to bully people, the 'Brotherhood' is very clear.

Marco, who was staying in the White House, didn't care much about the tragedy and decline on the land battlefield.He cared more about the progress of the naval battle, especially where did the unlucky Pacific Fleet go?Can you return safely?

Unfortunately, God has not favored America.Another bad news came...

Chapter 90

October [-], Panama Canal.

The ill-fated canal opened in 1916, two years after its original history.

The reason for this is that the then U.S. President Marcos revised the excavation plan and ordered the widening of the river to allow larger ships and warships to pass.

And today, a special ship came to the canal.Not long after it was launched, the USS "Enterprise" aircraft carrier has not yet completed outfitting.

Just about a month ago, this aircraft carrier was equipped with more than 100 fighter jets, and followed the main force of the mighty fleet through the Panama Canal into the Pacific Ocean. Now it is back, alone.

The temporary commander of the warship was a lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army. He went to the Panama Canal Authority on purpose, saying that he would use the radio to send a telegram to Washington.

The Panama Canal was dug by the Americans, and the Authority is also controlled by the Americans.During the war, about a regiment of U.S. troops was stationed to protect its safety.

The news of the attack on Hawaii had already spread, and the entire United States was in a state of panic.Several cities on the west coast were alarmed three times a day, and they raised air defense alarms at every turn, for fear that the Chinese fleet would come over.

The captain of the lieutenant colonel naturally got the consent of the administration, and the director even came to ask if he needed help, such as whether there were any wounded, whether he needed supplies, or something else.

America is under attack, every American should do something about it, no?

The director's understanding made the lieutenant colonel very grateful, and said that some crew members of the 'Enterprise' did need help.The latter told the staff of the Administration who came to inquire about the battle in the telegraph room of the Administration about what happened not long ago.

"October [-]st is a national calamity day for the entire United States. We have been attacked like never before. The main force of the Pacific Fleet is not at Pearl Harbor, which gives the enemy a great opportunity.

The 'Enterprise' under my command has no combat capabilities. It was originally docked on Wake Island, and its mission was to carry fighter jets and ammunition for the main force of the fleet. "

The mission to attack Japan was top secret, and the people in the Canal Administration did not understand why an aircraft carrier and the main force of the fleet were required to accompany it, which had not completed outfitting and sea trials.However, everyone was very happy to see the 'Enterprise' came back safe and sound.

The captain of the lieutenant colonel continued: "When we learned that Pearl Harbor was attacked, the crew and I were completely stunned. At this moment, the main force of the fleet is heading to Japan, and it is difficult to contact.

However, two days later, a destroyer of the accompanying fleet returned to Wake Island, saying that Lieutenant General Jefferson, who commanded the fleet, must ensure the safety of the fleet and planned to return to North America from the Indian Ocean by way of Australia. "

Go around the Indian Ocean?The idea is peculiar.

A group of people in the administration was shocked at first, but then they knew that there was no way out.

The British set out from the Azores and used Bermuda, which is only more than 1000 kilometers away from North America, as a base to attack the east coast of the United States frantically.

Now the U.S. Navy desperately needs support.

Lieutenant General Jefferson did not dare to take shortcuts, so he could only take a detour.But this circle is more than 3 kilometers, which is farther than the Russian Second Pacific Fleet in the Tsushima Sea Battle, and it took nearly two months to walk along the way.

Resupply along the way alone is a big problem.

The Canal Authority stated that this situation is very important, and they must find a way to send a supply ship to respond to ensure that this huge fleet can return safely to beat up the despicable British.

As for the 'Enterprise' number...

The captain of the lieutenant colonel sighed: "The 'Enterprise' has no combat capability, and its speed is not fast, and it cannot keep up with the main force of the Pacific Fleet fleeing at high speed.

It was even more impossible for Captain Jefferson to wait, so he sent two destroyers to escort us back to the west coast alone, and let us pretend to be the main force of the fleet as much as possible. "

This is undoubtedly letting the 'Enterprise' number die.

"How did you escape the search by Chinese warships?" asked the director of the administration.Everyone is very curious about this. "From the Aleutian Islands in the north or New Zealand closer to the south?"

"No, I didn't make a detour." The lieutenant colonel smiled bitterly: "I think the Chinese fleet just attacked Pearl Harbor, so I shouldn't stay in Hawaii. So I went directly to Hawaii. I don't think there are enough US troops on the island." Annihilated."

Seeing that the 'Enterprise' was able to return to Panama, this trick must have been a success.

"Exquisite idea, so exciting." The director slapped his hands, laughed and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, the return of the 'Enterprise' must be difficult, but you have created a miracle."

This is a blessing in misfortune, at least to keep a precious aircraft carrier, although it is not yet able to fight.However, all the staff surrounding the canal management office laughed and were extremely excited.

The director asked again: "How is the situation in Hawaii?"

The captain of the lieutenant colonel shook his head, "It's bad, it was almost completely destroyed. Vice Admiral Fletcher, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, was killed, Pearl Harbor was completely paralyzed, and none of the airports on several islands were intact. The US troops stationed suffered heavy casualties."

Alas... the tone of the telegraph room became low again.

The director patted the lieutenant colonel on the shoulder and encouraged: "It's okay, it will get better. Look, didn't the 'Enterprise' return safely under your leadership? We did encounter setbacks, but we haven't reached the point of despair yet. time."

Everyone in the Administration also stepped forward to give hugs and encouragement, comforting the crew of the 'Enterprise' to continue fighting.But just as everyone was feeling heavy, gunshots came from the direction of the canal.

After a while, someone stumbled over and shouted in horror: "The lock, the lock is under attack."

The Panama Canal itself is unremarkable, but the key lies in its three locks, which are the key to controlling the passage of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.Otherwise, it will take more than 4000 kilometers to go around Cape Horn in South America.

After the attack on Hawaii, the whole United States was in turmoil.The Pentagon ordered the US military guarding the canal to ensure the safety of the canal. In fact, it was to guard the lock and blow up the lock if necessary.

But this nervousness lasted for a few days and then gradually subsided. Everyone felt that the Chinese fleet should go after the US Pacific Fleet at this moment.Everyone should pray for the honorable Lieutenant General Jefferson.

Today the "Enterprise" miraculously broke through the Chinese fleet's net and returned safely. The Canal Authority and the garrison were immersed in joy.This is rare good news recently.

I never thought... when the lieutenant colonel of the 'Enterprise' asked to go ashore to send a report, he brought down hundreds of crew members.These sailors either yelled about headaches, asked for shopping, or expressed their desire to walk around casually.

With this negligence, the three locks of the canal fell in the blink of an eye.

Without waiting for the garrison and the Administration to respond, just a few minutes later, hundreds of fighter planes roared from the west of the canal, and without a word, they fired a wave of rockets at several barracks of the garrison.

At the same time, the 'Enterprise', which was waiting to cross the canal, whizzed out thousands of heavily armed marines.They merged with the 'Americans' who seized the lock before, and took off their coats by the way, revealing the combat uniforms of the Chinese National Defense Forces.

On the sea, several high-speed destroyers suddenly appeared, approaching the canal from the sea at a high speed of more than 30 knots, and their medium-caliber naval guns were aimed at the direction of the shore guns.

But before the destroyer opened fire, thunderous cannons sounded farther out in the sea.

That was hundreds of large-caliber naval guns firing concentrated fire, and the howling shells spanned a distance of more than 30 kilometers, bombarding the shore artillery groups on both sides of the canal.The explosion was like a catastrophe.

The telegraph room of the Canal Authority was surrounded by a group of tough marines, and a large number of personnel of the Authority, including the director, were captured alive.The lieutenant colonel, who was still extremely sad just now, took out his pistol and said sullenly:

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry, I don't want to do this either. But I still want to live. I forgot to tell you that I didn't take the initiative to go to Hawaii, but was caught by the fleet commanded by Earl Spey during the voyage up.

The 'Enterprise' has no combat capability at all, it is currently a carrier aircraft.The fighter planes it transported were originally intended to replace the b-10 bombers on the Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier.

The American officers and soldiers who just disembarked with me were actually Germans and British.The commander of the Chinese fleet didn't want to chase Jefferson at all, he just wanted to block the Panama Canal and wait for his opponent to hit him.

It can be confirmed that after Jefferson fled to the Indian Ocean, the Chinese commander knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up, and there was no point in chasing him.He wanted to seize the Panama Canal and gain access to the Atlantic Ocean. "

"You traitor to America!" The director screamed, but he dared not move as he was photographed at the gunpoint of the defecting lieutenant colonel.

The captain of the lieutenant colonel was even more excited, and shouted loudly: "Idiot, I am saving you. If it weren't for me, you would all die. If the Chinese can't control the canal, they will blow up the locks and destroy you by the way.

Keep your eyes open to see the fighter planes outside, and your ears to listen to the rumbling guns.The Chinese fleet has seven aircraft carriers, 25 battle cruisers and battleships, and countless ships below heavy cruisers, with a total tonnage of more than 100 million tons.

Such a powerful force is enough to destroy a country.Just the focused fire from those gunboats could destroy you all.Now, be quiet and don't make me shoot someone. "

Without the lieutenant colonel's nonsense, the marines posing as his entourage held submachine guns and tied up all the Americans in the telegraph office. At the same time, they cut off the connection between the canal and the mainland of the United States to ensure that the news would not be leaked in a short time.

About an hour later, the battle cruiser 'Nanjing' appeared on the west coast of the Panama Canal at a speed of 381 knots. The [-]mm heavy artillery pointed at the canal artillery positions that had been blasted into pieces.

Behind the 'Nanjing' is the 'Bavaria', 'Retaliation', 'Normandie' and other water-soaked battleships, all of which are thick and large pipes, full of deterrence.

Relying on the cover of fighter planes in the sky, the leading dozen destroyers quickly passed the lock and headed for the Caribbean Sea across the canal.Then came the battlecruisers, and then several aircraft carriers flying the flag of the Chinese Navy.

Due to the large size of the fleet, the entire passage process will last about two or three days.

After successfully snatching the ship lock, the Chinese fleet broke the radio silence and took the initiative to send a report, using a high-power radio to call the British fleet in Bermuda [-] kilometers away.

This telegram shocked the world, but its content was very simple-the Chinese naval expedition fleet was passing through the Panama Canal, preparing to join the just battle to maintain world peace.

It was spread to Washington in chaos, to New York under air raids, to war-torn Chicago, thousands of miles away to London, Paris and Berlin, and to every corner of the world.

When the 'Brotherhood' saw this telegram, their first reaction was to reverse the situation and feel dizzy.

China has deceived people too much. Attacking Hawaii does not count, and forcing the US Pacific Fleet to flee does not count. They even dared to make a surprise attack in the opposite direction and robbed the Panama Canal.

The US Atlantic Fleet is big enough to face the British mainland fleet, and now a fleet of one million tons is coming. This damn is going to destroy the United States!

Jefferson, who was running for his life, commanded the U.S. fleet to seize Melbourne, Australia for supplies. After hearing the news, he cursed frantically: "How could this war happen? Even if I return to my homeland, it will be too late."

Chapter 91 The future is in our hands!

In what state will the building fall?

What's it like to be a mouse in a bellows?

The United States, which was gang-beaten by China, Britain, Germany and France, and the "fraternity" at this moment should know best.

When the Panama Canal was captured by the Chinese expeditionary fleet, President Marco Shi in the White House only felt his eyes go black.

The U.S. Navy originally had a go-ahead plan to raid the British Bermuda Islands and fight to the death with its home fleet.But when they learned that China's seven aircraft carriers had entered the Caribbean Sea, they immediately dismissed the idea.

The United Kingdom sent eight fleet aircraft carriers, twelve escort aircraft carriers, and countless other large warships to North America.Now that China has a large fleet of one million tons, how will the U.S. Navy fight?

After China boldly seized the Panama Canal, Germany and France saw the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, and quickly expressed their willingness to send the army and navy to North America to maintain justice and peace, for fear that if they were too late, they would not be able to take advantage of it.

Even Italy, Japan, Austria-Hungary and other countries feel that they should actively participate in international affairs, and they can form a coalition force to march into Washington together-to "burn the White House" again, and get a sum of military compensation afterwards.

Under such a tragic situation, the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Affairs Advisor in Washington were all comforting Marco.

Staff and the military say that while the situation is serious, America is not yet at the point of doom.

"The U.S. Navy has retreated to within [-] nautical miles of the coastline, cruising under the protection of land-based fighters, and still has strong combat effectiveness."

"Although the front in the direction of the Great Lakes is retreating steadily, it will definitely be stabilized at the end of the month. The army is training to improve its combat power."

"Although we have lost all the military production capacity in the northern industrial belt. But the United States is large enough that production in other states is rapidly replenishing."

In general, America's fortunes are there. As long as the rulers are determined to resist, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be more difficult than the Soviet Union and China in World War II.

Even if the navy is completely wiped out, even if the army is wiped out in large numbers, even if more than half of the country is lost, the United States can still wait for changes and persist for three, five, or even ten years until the day of victory.

The 'Brotherhood' firmly believes that China, Germany and France will not sit back and watch Britain monopolize the North American continent, and will definitely leave a place for themselves to continue to survive at some point.

White House Chief of Staff Thomas advised Marco, "Your Excellency, the situation is not too bad, but we have to move to another place. Washington is too close to the sea to be safe enough."

To the persuasion of others, Marco nodded.But he is very clear that this time and space restart, the United States is at a big loss.

If it does not restart, the United States will still be the world's largest country and will remain for a long time, and may break through new technical barriers at any time and occupy the pinnacle.

Russia has eaten the heritage of the Soviet Union for 30 years, and it is still the top five hooligans.Even if the United States goes downhill, it can eat up inheritance for hundreds of years.

"Arrogance is our greatest sin. If it happened again, I would never choose to restart time and space."

When Marcos decided to move the country's military and political institutions, another news came-the Chinese expeditionary fleet occupying the Panama Canal did not move, and it was stuck on both sides of the canal, strictly guarding against it.

This move confused the British—didn't you say you were going to participate in the just battle?Don't just talk but don't do it, you are here to help.

The Chinese side stated that the fleet is too far away from home, the logistics cannot keep up, and there is a shortage of fuel and ammunition, so it must be repaired in Panama.Moreover, such an important place as the canal must be heavily guarded, and it must not be neglected.

Good guy, Britain understands—this one is the most active in taking advantage of the advantages.It got stuck in the Panama Canal and didn't want to leave.

This posture made the U.S. Navy breathe a sigh of relief, thinking: "If China and the UK are really close, if they join forces, they will not be able to hold back when God comes."

China has nearly 500 million overseas Chinese in North America, and they basically evacuated to Latin and South America.When the expeditionary fleet took control of Panama, more than half of the group received orders to immediately gather at this key point in Latin America.

The population of Panama is less than 100 million, and the sudden influx of more than 200 million Chinese is like a natural disaster.Germany and France also followed suit and sent a fleet to South America to grab territory in the name of helping.

Anyway, at this moment, the United States and the United Kingdom cannot be separated. If they don't grab it now, when will they grab it?When these two guys are exhausted, other countries will naturally come forward to mediate.

And at this moment, what is Zhou Qingfeng doing?He has no interest in the raging North American battlefield. He is sitting in front of an unknown village in a poor mountain ditch in Shaanxi, chatting with an elderly shepherd.
