    "Your Majesty, the American fleet has withdrawn. They destroyed the Tumaco Naval Base before entering the Panama Canal. The Port of Ayora on Santa Cruz Island was also completely destroyed. It will take at least two years to repair it. Now in  In the entire Eastern Pacific region, we only have the naval base in Hawaii to use!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng reported back to Wang Yuze.

    Wang Yuze nodded. The sudden attack by the US fleet was beyond China's expectations, and the Americans were caught off guard.  The naval base in Guadeloupe was destroyed, the naval base in Tumaco was destroyed, and the naval base in Santa Cruz Island was destroyed.  After these three important naval bases were destroyed, the strength of the Chinese Navy in Central America suddenly dropped to the lowest level.  Even though there is a naval base in Hawaii, it is still thousands of kilometers from Hawaii to Central America.

    "Since the Americans have withdrawn, the Ministry of Navy should organize engineering troops to repair these naval bases as much as possible!" Wang Yuze said.

    These three bases are very important for China to threaten the Panama Canal.  If China wants to block the Panama Canal, it must have a naval base near the canal.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng replied.  However, even if the base is repaired from now on, there will be no way to activate it in a short time.

    "Your Majesty, overall, we did not fail in this battle. Although the three naval bases were destroyed by the Americans, we sank three American battleships and severely damaged three more. The heavy cruiser was also hit.  Several ships were sunk, and the U.S. fleet paid almost half the price. In addition to the destruction of several bases, we only paid the price of the sinking of one battleship. This is what we can achieve when we are far inferior to the opponent in terms of strength.  The results of the battle are already very good! The home fleet has already set off, and when they arrive, sea control in the entire Eastern Pacific region will be in our hands again. We can launch an attack on the United States without any worries!" said Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff!

    "Deploy a Marine Division to attack the Panama Canal. Since we have already gone to war with the United States, there is no reason for the Americans to continue to control the canal!" Wang Yuze said.  China has always been eyeing this canal.  However, France had a bad relationship with China at the time and refused to transfer the canal to China, which gave the Americans a big advantage.  However, since the canal cannot be obtained by normal means, the only way is to use war.  Once China seizes the canal, don't expect China to return it to the so-called canal company!

    "Yes, Your Majesty! But if we seize the canal by force, the Americans will definitely not sit still and wait for death. They will definitely blow up the canal. According to the intelligence we have obtained, the most important force of the 3rd Marine Division deployed by the United States in the Panama Canal is  The mission is to blow up all the locks on the canal when it cannot resist the enemy's attack. By then, the Panama Canal will be completely useless. Even if the enemy drives away the Americans, it will probably take more than a year to repair the canal.  time!" said Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff.

    "Chief of Staff, do you think we have a chance to get the canal intact?" Wang Yuze asked rhetorically.

    Cai Yun thought for a moment, but still shook his head.  If China controls the Panama Canal, then China's powerful fleet can directly enter the Atlantic Ocean through the canal, which will be a huge threat to the United States.  Therefore, the Americans would rather blow up the canal than give China the opportunity to control the canal!

    "That's right. Since the canal is destined to be blown up by the Americans, why waste time? If we deal with the Americans there earlier, we can also start repairing the canal sooner and devote the main force of the navy to the Atlantic Ocean.  Let those damn Americans pay a heavy price!" Wang Yuze said through gritted teeth.  This time China was attacked by the United States and suffered huge losses, which made him very dissatisfied!

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand! The 5th Marine Division has arrived in Hawaii. After the main fleet of the Home Fleet arrives, it can launch an attack on the Panama Canal!" Cai Yun said.

    Wang Yuze nodded. After the Americans blew up the Panama Canal, they could certainly prevent the main force of the Chinese navy from entering the Atlantic Ocean. However, the direct connection between the east and west coasts of the United States could only be through land transportation. For China's war against the United States,  It also has great benefits.  Even though the railway network in the United States is very developed, the logistical pressure to ensure the operations of millions of U.S. troops on the west coast and southern regions is also very high.  This also weakens the combat effectiveness of the US military to a certain extent.  However, Wang Yuze was still a little unwilling to be attacked by the US fleet once, and he did not want to wait until a year or even two years before he could take revenge!

    "Sir Zhang, if the main force of the mainland fleet bypasses Cape Horn and attacks the east coast of the United States, is it possible to win?" Wang Yuze asked.  After the Panama Canal was blown up, the Chinese Navy wants to enter the Atlantic OceanIf we want to fight, we can only go around Cape Horn in Nanzhou!

    "This, Your Majesty! If we go around Cape Horn, the fleet's range will be more than 15,000 kilometers. After a long voyage, the performance of the warship will be greatly affected. In addition, we currently do not have a suitable supply base in the Atlantic Ocean. At most  Being able to rely on Chile in southern South America. This is relatively disadvantageous for a large-scale naval battle. Chen believes that the safest way is to seize the Panama Canal, and then enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Panama Canal to fight with the US Navy. Although, this will make  The decisive battle is postponed for a year or more, but it is also more beneficial to the Imperial Navy. The Emeishan-class aircraft carrier being built by the Imperial Navy is expected to be commissioned before the end of next year, and it will be able to form combat effectiveness at the beginning of the next year. By  At that time, even the U.S. Navy

    ¡®Pennsylvania class battleships can be put into service and will not pose any threat to the Imperial Navy!  "Zhang Cheng said.

    "Okay, let's do it this way!" Wang Yuze did not insist anymore. He was already past the age of being impulsive. Although China is undoubtedly one of the most powerful countries in the world, its opponents are not weak either.  Moreover, there are many unexpected factors in naval battles. If the main fleet detours to Cape Horn and engages in a decisive battle with the US Navy, it is likely to be defeated by the US Navy, which is waiting to do its job.  Such consequences are absolutely unacceptable to China.  Therefore, in this war, it is best not to take risks.  The Chinese military has high hopes for aircraft carriers.  Now, simple aircraft have appeared on the European battlefield, and both France and Germany are using aircraft for reconnaissance.  However, the performance of their aircraft is only equivalent to the aircraft developed by China six or seven years ago, and there is no comparison at all with China's latest aircraft.  Wang Yuze is not worried that the aircraft carrier will encounter opponents after it enters service.  When the aircraft carrier is sent to participate in the decisive battle against the US Navy, it should not be a big problem to completely defeat the US Navy!

    "The U.S. Navy did not take advantage of this battle. They will find it again from other places. Has the American Army launched an attack?" Wang Yuze asked.  It¡¯s no longer a secret that the U.S. Army is massing forces on the back of Mexico and in the southern United States!

    "Not yet, but according to the judgment of General Gao Chang, commander of the Sixth Army, the time for the US Army to launch an attack should be within these two days!" said Cai Yun, Chief of General Staff.

    "Ask General Gao not to confront the U.S. Army head-on, but to retreat temporarily and trade space for time. The Seventh Army will be arriving soon. After the Seventh Army arrives, it will basically be able to stabilize the front.

    Wait until the follow-up troops arrive before launching a counterattack!  " Wang Yuze said. The sudden attack launched by the United States caught China somewhat off guard, so that it was temporarily at a disadvantage on all fronts.

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Cai Yun nodded.  China is transporting huge forces to Mexico, but the huge Pacific Ocean makes this task very difficult.

    "What about the other fronts? Have the Russians and British made any changes?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "No, the Russians focused their main energy on Europe. They wanted to defeat Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and only took a defensive position on the Eastern Front. The British were also very sensible. Although they had stepped up their guard in the border areas, they did not fail to warn us.  Intention to launch an attack!" Cai Yun said.

    "That's good! Try to avoid fighting on multiple fronts. After we do our best to solve the United States, we can then plan other fronts!" Wang Yuze said.

    At this time, in the back of Mexico in North America, Saltillo in Coahuila State, controlled by the D¨ªaz government, has become the headquarters of the US military¡¯s southern front.  Long before China and the United States declared war, the U.S. military had already begun to gather troops in the southern region.  When the U.S. fleet launched an attack on the Santa Cruz Island naval base, the forces were almost assembled.

    John.  Lieutenant General Pershing was appointed as the commander of the U.S. Army's Southern Front and was fully responsible for commanding the ten armies on the Southern Front, totaling more than 500,000 U.S. troops.  Seven years ago, John.  Lieutenant General Pershing was severely defeated by the Chinese army in that war and fled in embarrassment. Seven years later, he will once again lead the US military to fight the Chinese army here!  However, compared with seven years ago, his strength has undoubtedly increased a lot, but the strength of his opponents has not changed much.  The most important thing is that after seven years of construction, the strength of the U.S. Army is no longer comparable to that of seven years ago.  Therefore, Lieutenant General Pershing is very confident to win this war!

    "Wait, Chinese, this time I will drive you all into the sea to feed the fish!" Lieutenant General Per Xing said confidently while looking at the southern sky!
