Dominate South Asia

Panama!

The misfortune of many countries stems from their geographical location, such as Afghanistan. It needs oil but no oil, needs economy but no economy, needs population but no population, and has a harsh environment. However, it is the passage for the Soviets to go south, and it is also a link between the East and the West. A bridge, for which the Soviets launched a war, and for which the United States in later generations also launched a war.

The same is true for Panama. Its misfortune is that it is located in a narrow section of the middle of the American continent. Therefore, a Panama Canal was artificially dug on its territory, and together with the Suez Canal, it has become the two most strategically significant canals in the world. An artificial waterway. In the past, ships traveling between the east and west coasts of the United States had to detour around Cape Horn in South America. Using the Panama Canal can shorten the voyage by about 15,000 kilometers. Voyage distances from one coast of North America to South American ports on the other side can also be saved by up to 6,500 kilometers, while ships sailing between Europe and East Asia or Australia can also reduce their voyage distance by 3,700 kilometers via the canal. This waterway, It became a golden waterway.

However, the management of this canal has always belonged to the United States. In 1903, the then United States forced Panama, which had just gained independence, to sign an unequal treaty, gaining the right to dig the Panama Canal and permanently leasing the canal and canal zone. After the canal was completed, the total revenue from the canal was approximately more than 300 million U.S. dollars each year, most of which was earned by the United States, with Panama receiving only a small fraction. The United States even designated 16.1 kilometers on the west bank of the canal as the canal zone, established the US Southern Command, and prohibited Panamanians from entering. The canal zone became a "state within a state."

The Panamanian people are not willing to be monopolized by the Americans and have been fighting. Especially after Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, it greatly encouraged the Panamanian people. They are determined to take back the canal too! Especially in 1983, Noriega, the commander-in-chief of the Panamanian Defense Forces, took control of Panama's military and political power and became the actual leader of Panama. As the leader of the military government, he was also ambitious and hoped to take back the management rights of the canal. , which naturally became a thorn in the side of the United States.

In May this year, Panama resumed its presidential election. According to the results of the vote counting, the opposition parties jointly elected the presidential candidate Guillermo Endala to win the election, but Noriega declared the election invalid and imprisoned Guillermo.

Historically, the United States imposed economic sanctions on Pakistan in September of that year. On December 15, Noriega declared a state of war with the United States and appointed himself head of state. On December 20, the U.S. military launched a code-named "Operation Justice" and dispatched troops to Panama, which fully exposed the nature of U.S. imperialism's hegemonic interference in small and weak countries.

And now, it's only August. Although Panama had an invalid presidential election, the United States still had no combat plan against Panama, just at this time. There was a shooting incident in Panama first!

Bush's eyes were filled with coldness for a moment, but Cheney on the side was hot: "Panama? How dare Noriega take the initiative to launch an attack on us? This is simply asking for death! Mr. President, I propose that we immediately formulate a plan to invade Panama. The battle plan is to overthrow the Noriega government and establish a government that is friendly to us!”

Since the Vietnam War, the United States has not gone to war. The army is for fighting! The United States needs enemies and war to prove that taxpayers' money is not wasted!

"I approve this proposal." Bush said: "It's time for our military to show its power. We can easily overthrow a small country!"

The military must prove to the world that the American military is the most powerful! Besides, this is a war at home. If the war is like the Bay of Pigs in Cuba, the U.S. military may simply disband automatically.

This inconspicuous incident caused the American war machine to start at full speed, and their target was Panama!

Baker on the side couldn't help but said: "What about India?"

America now. It is not yet capable of winning two local wars at the same time, and the main force of the United States is still in Europe. Preparing for a possible counterattack by the Soviet Union, now they have to fight a war on their own doorstep with all their strength. If they continue to interfere in India's internal affairs, the army will not have enough capabilities at all. If nothing else, the logistics support will definitely be insufficient. Come up.

The topic discussed just now was how to deal with Pakistan's rise in South Asia, which was considered the top threat facing the United States. But now, it suddenly changed to dealing with Panama.

After hearing Baker's words, Bush said: "As for India, we in the United States can apply diplomatic pressure first, and then we can go back to deal with India's issues after we have solved Panama."

Things have their own weight. For the United States, things at home are of course the most important. Besides, in Bush's eyes, the Panama problem can be solved quickly. It should not be too late to deal with the Indian issue after the Panama problem is solved.

He didn't know that the changes in the situation in the Indian state of Hyderabad were simply unpredictable.

The offensive momentum of the Indian army was very fierce. Under their powerful offensive, the rebels in the Hyderabad state were retreating steadily. Finally, they were driven to the southeast corner of the city, and their solution was just around the corner.

Government buildings, TV stations, and power plants were captured one by one by the Indian government forces. The situation was very unfavorable for the rebels in the Hyderabad state. If they continued to hold on and did not retreat, it would only be a matter of time before they were eliminated.

"Boom!" With the explosion of a cannonball, the ground shook.

"Crash, crash." The concrete overhead began to fall into pieces. It seemed that this basement could not hold on for long.

Everyone's face was ugly. They originally thought that launching a dirty bomb attack would make the Indian government compromise, but now, they are attacking even more fiercely!

"We should have quit fighting guerrillas long ago! This city still has to be captured by the Indian government troops!" Salad said. At this time, his face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. These days, he has also Never had a good night's sleep.

"Our perseverance will set an example for the people of Hyderabad. We are warriors who fought bloody battles to build a country!" Masood said: "Besides, we have not failed yet. Maybe, now is just a turning point!"

"The turning point? We've almost lost all our people, how can we turn the corner?" Salad really regretted it. He definitely didn't want things to become like this. He didn't have anyone left, so what else could he use to fight the war and establish the establishment? nation?

"The turning point is now!" At this moment, a loud voice came from outside.

Hearing this voice, Masoud suddenly felt happy. Osama was finally back!

His face was also full of fatigue, but the light in his eyes was still dazzling, and with a strong murderous aura, Mr. Ben came in front of these people.

"Mr. Ben, didn't you say you were going to detonate a new dirty bomb in New Delhi?" Salad said.

"New Delhi? I didn't go, it's too far." Osama said calmly: "Besides, I claimed that I wanted to cause an explosion in New Delhi. That was just a claim. The police there are already prepared, and it is easy to fail when going there."

"Then we just wait like this?" Salad continued to ask.

"Of course not, our attacks will not stop, and only by coming here can we better reflect our value." Osama said: "We are going to launch an attack, and the targets of the attack are those government troops!"

The target of the attack was government troops! We're going to launch an attack here! Upon hearing Osama's words, Salad was stunned for a moment, and then began to shake his head: "No, no, this is the capital of our Hyderabad state. Attacking here will destroy our city!"

Salad never thought of launching an attack here. This is simply crazy!

"You don't agree?" Osama's eyes were cold.

This guy is a devil! Salad didn't dare to meet Osama's gaze at all. This guy killed dozens of innocent people in Calcutta! As for those who were exposed to radiation, there were thousands!

"No, of course not." Salad knew that if he said no again, the other party would really kill him! Salad's people were all sent to the front line, and the people responsible for protecting them here were all the people brought by Masud.

"Humph, are you afraid of being exposed to radiation?" Osama said.

This sentence really hit home with Salad. When he heard that a dirty bomb attack was going to be launched here, the first thing that came to his mind was of course whether he would be exposed to radiation!

Seeing that this guy didn't speak but his lips moved, Osama knew that this was what this guy was thinking, so Osama patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the east wind is blowing now. Our people will detonate the dirty bomb in the western city. Therefore, even if a dirty bomb is detonated now, the radioactive dust will only fly westward with the wind and will not affect me. We are here. As long as we don't drink contaminated water these two days, there will be no problem. There will be a heavy rain the day after tomorrow, and the heavy rain will completely wash away the radioactive dust. We just need to stay here and wait until after the rain. Then we can regain the entire city, we will defeat the Indian government forces, and we will turn a new page in Hyderabad!”

After hearing what Mr. Ben said, Salad finally agreed. When the fear passed, excitement gradually took over his mind. He drove away the Indian government troops and ushered in a complete victory!

Osama's face showed his unique smile again. He seemed to have seen the miserable situation of those Indian government troops. Let them go to hell! (To be continued ~^~)
