    "Your Excellency, the Chinese are tougher than the Americans. Will they return the canal to us?" Lieutenant General Anand, commander-in-chief of the Panamanian Armed Forces, swallowed hard and asked in embarrassment.  President Roque.  Saenz.  Pe?a actually asked him to send troops to take back the canal. You don't need to think about it to know that this is completely impossible!  The Chinese will definitely not return the canal to Panama easily, even if there is no possibility at all.  Not to mention, the relationship between China and Panama¡¯s old enemy Colombia is still very close!

    "General Anand, how do you know it's not possible if you don't try it? Maybe the Chinese won't be so arrogant. After all, the canal was built on Panama's soil. If the Chinese want to continue to develop the canal, we won't either  Stop it. However, the Panamanian government needs to obtain more benefits through the canal. General, the main reason you send troops into the canal zone this time is to test the Chinese. If the Chinese are willing to return the canal to us, that would be great.  . If they are unwilling, then we will negotiate with them. Remember, we must not conflict with the Chinese!" Roque.  Saenz.  President Pe?a warned.  In his view, even if the operation fails, it will not be harmful to Panama.  But if it succeeds, Panama will reap huge profits.  If China can guarantee Panama's interests and security, Panama is very willing to lean towards China.  After all, for their effects, it is undoubtedly safest to follow the big powers.

    "Okay, Your Excellency, President, I'll get ready right now!" Lieutenant General Anand looked at Roque.  Saenz.  President Pe?a's attitude was very firm and he would not say anything more.  However, he always feels that the Chinese are not so easy to talk to, and Panama's behavior may lead to serious consequences.  However, he had to admit that if Panama could take back the canal or increase its share of canal navigation fees, it would be of great benefit to Panama.

    On KO 31, the Fifth Division of the Chinese Marine Corps had complete control of the canal.  Most of the 3rd Division of the U.S. Marine Corps stationed at the Panama Canal fled back to the country. The remaining few were either captured by the Chinese army or directly killed. The U.S. military's power in the Panama Canal area was almost eliminated.  Sweep it clean.

    On this morning, Admiral Li Dingxin, Commander of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Home Fleet, Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng, Chief of Staff, and Major General Wu Haibin, Commander of the Fifth Marine Division, came to the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean east of the Panama Canal.  Cologne, a city that emerged because of the Panama Canal, was not affected by the war. When the Americans evacuated, they did not damage the city, making it easy for the Chinese Marine Corps to take over.  However, on the Caribbean Sea in the distance, there are many US Navy warships cruising on the sea, monitoring the movements in the direction of Cologne.

    Admiral Li Dingxin stood on the shore of Limon Bay, using a telescope to observe the sea in the distance. On the sea, there was an American light cruiser and a destroyer flying the Stars and Stripes.  Although the gun muzzle on the battleship was pointed at the Cologne defense line, there seemed to be no sign of firing.

    "Commander Wu, the main task of the Marine Corps in the future is to control the Panama Canal. This canal not only has extremely high military value but also very high economic value. Whoever controls this transportation artery can guard it.  The neck of America. The Americans are still eyeing this place, and must be well defended. After the domestic engineering troops arrive, let's find a way to build two fortresses in Limon Bay!" Admiral Li Dingxin said.  Before the canal is repaired, China has no way to defend itself against attacks from the Caribbean. Building two fortresses will only allow the Chinese troops stationed here to protect themselves.

    "Yes, Commander! I have dispatched a heavy howitzer company and a light howitzer company to Cologne. At the same time, the 52nd Regiment will also become the force stationed here and will definitely be able to defend this place!" said Major General Wu Haibin.  He knew very well that the Panama Canal was related to the Navy's future entry into the Atlantic Ocean and the decisive battle with the U.S. Navy, and there was no room for error.  Therefore, the responsibilities of the 5th Marine Division are also very important.

    "In addition to the Americans, we probably have to pay attention to the Panamanians. These Panamanians are supported by the Americans. They have always had a close relationship with the United States, but their relationship with us is relatively tense. In case something happens to the Panamanians  , must be suppressed in time! Anyway, this is not a country, so don¡¯t care too much about the impact.

    Even if something big happens, I think His Majesty the Emperor will understand!  "Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng, Chief of Staff of the Home Fleet, also said.

    "Haha, don't worry, Chief of Staff, I don't think these Panamanians can make any trouble. If they dare to do anything wrong, I will make them regret it!" Major General Wu Haibin said with a smile.  Panama is just a small country with a few hundred thousand people, and the regular army only has more than 10,000 people.  And their equipment is rubbish and their combat effectiveness is weak. The 5th Marine Division only has?We need to send out a regiment, and we can probably wipe them all out.  Besides, unless these Panamanians are kicked in the head by a donkey, otherwise, given their courage, they would not dare to provoke China!

    "Don't be careless! The Panamanians may not blatantly oppose us, but they will inevitably make some small moves. For example, revealing information about our garrison here to the Americans, blocking the necks of the garrison in other ways, etc." Commander of the Home Fleet!  General Li Dingxin also reminded.  In the future, the Fifth Marine Division was stationed here. Although food and ammunition could be brought from China, vegetables and meat would inevitably have to be purchased from Panama.  If the Panamanian government takes advantage of this to cause trouble, it will not be a big deal, but it will be troublesome.

    "Commander, please rest assured, I will handle these problems!" Major General Wu Haibin assured, patting his chest.

    "Division Commander, Division Commander! Oh no, the Panamanian army has rushed into the canal zone, and our people are confronting them!" A staff officer reported to Major General Wu Haibin.

    Suddenly, Major General Wu Haibin's face turned red.  He just boasted a lot and promised to deal with the Panama problem.  But in the blink of an eye, the Panamanians actually sent troops to attack the canal zone. Wasn't this a slap in the face?  Although the Marine Corps and the fleet have no direct affiliation, the commander of the local fleet, Admiral Li Dingxin, is not an ordinary person!  There are rumors within the Navy that the current Navy Minister Zhang Cheng is old and Admiral Li Dingxin will become the powerful successor to the Navy Minister.  In time, he will become the leader of the Navy.  And it left a bad impression in front of future naval leaders, which is obviously very detrimental to the future of Rear Admiral Wu Haibin!

    "What's going on?" Major General Wu Haibin looked very unhappy.

    "Division Commander, this morning, several thousand Panamanian troops set off from Panama City and entered the Canal Zone. They claim that the Panama Canal belongs to Panama, and let us hand the canal back to them!" said the staff officer.

    "Damn it, are these Panamanians looking for death? Send a telegram to the 51st Regiment and drive these Panamanians out of the canal zone immediately. If they are disobedient, treat them as enemies and destroy them all!" Major General Wu Haibin ordered coldly.  .

    "Yes, division commander!" Although the staff officer didn't know why the division commander was so angry, he still chose to execute his order unconditionally.

    "Wait a minute, let the troops exercise restraint and don't conflict with the Panamanians. Let's go back and take a look!" General Li Dingxin said.

    "Yes, Commander!" Major General Wu Haibin had no choice but to insist no longer!

    The group of people got into the car and quickly set off from Cologne towards the Gulf of Panama.  When the Americans evacuated, although they blew up the canal, they forgot to blow up the railways and roads of the Panama Canal, so that China could use these infrastructures to quickly repair the canal.  It was only noon when the car departed from Cologne and arrived in the Gulf of Panama.

    Without caring about eating, General Li Dingxin, Lieutenant General Hai Zhengsheng and Major General Wu Haibin came to the scene of the conflict under the protection of a group of guards.  The conflict took place on the south side of the canal in the Gulf of Panama. More than 3,000 Panamanian soldiers were confronting a battalion of the 51st Regiment of the 5th Marine Division.

    The Chinese army has set up light and heavy machine guns and mortars. On the sea, a destroyer and a light cruiser have also arrived less than two kilometers away from the coast. The naval guns on the battleships are also aimed at the Panamanian army.  If you look carefully, you can find that many Panamanian soldiers are sweating profusely, and many of them have trembling legs.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Major General Wu Haibin asked.

    "Commander, at nine o'clock in the morning, these Panamanians suddenly rushed into the canal zone and asked us to leave. We didn't allow it, and a confrontation broke out!" A major battalion commander reported to Major General Wu Haibin.

    "Who is your commander?" Major General Wu Haibin asked the Panamanian army.  The translator quickly translated his words into English.

    "Hello, General, I am Anand, Commander-in-Chief of the Panamanian Armed Forces!" Soon, the somewhat squat Lieutenant General Anand came to the front under the protection of several guards.  His face also looked a little ugly. Although there were more than 3,000 Panamanian troops coming, if there was a conflict, these Panamanian soldiers would only be massacred!  Whether it is the Chinese light and heavy machine guns or the warships on the sea, they are far from being able to compete!

    "I don't care who you are, take your people and get out of the canal zone immediately, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!" Major General Wu Haibin said coldly.

    When the translator translated this sentence, Lieutenant General Anand¡¯s face suddenly turned pale!
