“Columbia is so bold that it dares to send troops to attack our colonies. Are they tired of living?”
When the news came, the first reaction of the Eagle Sauce people was disbelief!
This is simply unbelievable!
Those small countries that used to be submissive and obedient to them have suddenly changed, and they are all ferocious and ferocious!
To be honest, the difference before and after this change is too big, so big that the Eagle Sauce people can’t accept it at all.
“With the support of the Hans, there is nothing they dare not do!”
“That is, when they sent troops to Panama and attacked our troops in the Canal Zone, they were actually declaring war on us. Now that they are colluding with the Third Reich and continuing to attack our colonies in the Caribbean, they are only further expanding the scale of their actions and going deeper and deeper on the road of confronting us!”
Some people in the Eagle Sauce country are not surprised by Colombia’s actions. In their view, the Eagle Sauce’s own poor performance on the battlefield has greatly undermined their prestige, allowing those small countries that are usually honest and dare not offend them to see an opportunity, so they jumped out one by one and made trouble for them!
“But, can we just let them do whatever they want?”
However, only a few people can accept this result, especially since most people in the United States have not yet faced the reality and are still immersed in the old days when they were the overlords of America!
If they had not been involved in the Second World War and had not encountered such a powerful opponent as Hans, then their influence in America would certainly not have declined. As long as the United States can continue to maintain its prestige, with their strength, these countries in South America would not have any chance at all.
However, after their successive defeats on the battlefield, and even the annihilation of the Pacific Fleet, their prestige has been greatly reduced, and the fall of Florida, Louisiana, Texas and other places has almost completely isolated the United States from South America!
Their navy is now unable to enter the Caribbean region, and their army has been blocked in the north by the German army, unable to move forward.!
In this situation, if they cannot defeat the German army, their influence in South America will disappear day by day!
After all, the Eagle Sauce, which was completely blocked by the German army and whose sphere of influence had shrunk to its homeland, could only sigh in despair at what was happening in South America, and they could not intervene at all!
The reason why South American countries were so afraid of the Eagle Sauce in the first place was because the Eagle Sauce’s strong national strength and military strength posed a real threat to them.
Given the Eagle Sauce’s bellicosity, if the small countries in South America did something that made the Eagle Sauce dissatisfied, the Eagle Sauce might directly resort to force, right at the Eagle Sauce’s doorstep.
All the American countries combined are not their opponents.
Therefore, the Eagle Sauce naturally spread its influence to the Americas, and announced the Monroe Doctrine, which squeezed European forces out of South America, making it its own private territory and future glory.
However, all this no longer exists. The Eagle Sauce army is blocked in the north and cannot go south. They cannot defeat the German army in a short time, and they may never win the war!
In this case, the countries in South America naturally don’t have to act according to the Eagle Sauce’s face. Even facing the Eagle Sauce that is getting worse and worse, a country like Colombia, which has certain strength and has embraced the thigh of the Third Reich, may take the initiative to pounce on it and take a bite!
“We don’t have any solution. I have already said this when Colombia seized the Panama Canal. The main enemy we are facing now is the Third Reich. All other problems must be put aside. The war with the Third Reich is a life-and-death war. If we cannot win this war, it is a question whether our country will still exist. At this time, how can we care about overseas influence or things within our sphere of influence!”
Chief of Staff Marshall said gloomily.
Marshall was seriously injured in the previous Battle of St. Marys. After more than a month of treatment, he got a little better, but his body was still very weak. After saying this, he was out of breath, his face was pale, and he was sweating.
“Marshall is right. We really don’t have the energy to take care of other things now. The top priority now is to solve domestic problems!”
Roosevelt’s words set the tone. Although he was also very angry about the behavior of the Colombians, anger could not solve any problems. There is no eternal friendship between countries, only eternal interests.
As long as they can defeat the German army and drive the German army away from their homeland, I believe that if he is given some time, he can lead the Eagle Sauce to make it great again.
As long as the Eagle Sauce recovers, won’t those small countries in South America be at their mercy?
“Do you have any opinions on General MacArthur’s plan to recommend General Ridgway as the military commander of the Southwest to lead the Southwestern Army to attack Texas and Louisiana?”
A month ago, the German army set out from Florida and headed towards Louisiana and Texas. After occupying Louisiana, they colluded with the rednecks in Texas, causing the rednecks to lead Texas to split from the Eagle Sauce’s homeland and independently establish the Republic of Texas.
This secessionist move caused an uproar in the Eagle Sauce country, and many people thought of the Civil War more than 60 years ago!
The outbreak of the Civil War was also because the southern states declared their independence from the Eagle Sauce central government and established an independent country, which eventually caused the attack of the northern government, thus breaking out the war!
And this time, Texas’ independence made people smell the taste of civil war.
If the previous war with German immigrants was a war between different races, then this war with Texas is a real Eagle Sauce civil war!
Texas’s geographical location is very important. It is an important channel to California, and Texas itself has extremely rich oil and natural gas reserves. This is the Eagle Sauce. Texas is a major oil producing area in the United States. If the German army is allowed to occupy this place, not only can the German army obtain a large amount of cheap oil, but they can also block the United States’ oil supply, causing a serious oil crisis in the United States!
Therefore, no matter what the considerations are, the United States government must take Texas in the shortest possible time!
However, to attack Texas, an outstanding military commander must be appointed.
Considering that MacArthur cannot do without the southern front and Eisenhower has already defected, the US military can only use newcomers in this case.
If General Patton had not had the previous defeat, he would be the right candidate.
