The Ji army was defeated by the Cangma, making the combat operations entering the Caribbean Sea an unexpected warfare was because they did not expect the US military to be so vulnerable. Therefore, when formulating a war plan, the Republic's Navy seemed very conservative.

According to some information released after the war, the Navy planned to defeat the Little Andres Islands in half a year. The corresponding one was to set the time to march into Panabe at the end of the year and could be delayed by 2 months. In other words, it is normal to attack Panama before the end of the year. It can be seen that the Republic's Navy has never underestimated the United States' defense strength in the Caribbean. Especially in the Little Andres Islands. Entering the Caribbean Sea is not a simple matter. The Republic's Navy made full preparations for it. In addition to dispatching combat fleets including four main fleets, it also mobilized old land brigades and corresponding support units with a strength of ten thousand, and concentrated several large transport fleets in Argentina and Falls Bay, and prepared to fight the US military in the Little Andres Islands.

There is a reason why the Republican authorities overestimate the combat effectiveness of the US military so much.

More than three years ago, in order to capture the Mariana Islands, the Republic's Navy dispatched almost all of its large warships, and at the heavy price of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, it took nearly a year to occupy the archipelago, which was more than 10,000 kilometers away from the United States. More than two years ago, in order to capture the Fiji Islands, the Republic's Seaweed dispatched the top half of the large warships in the Pacific, and won the victory at the cost of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in more than a year. These two fierce island battles made the Republic's Navy give up the idea of ​​attacking the Hawaiian Islands, which naturally made the Republic's authorities dare not underestimate the combat effectiveness of the US military.

In fact, the Little Andres Islands are harder to attack than any of the aforementioned islands.

From the distance, the distance between the Little Andres Islands and the United States is much closer than that of the Hawaiian Islands. More importantly, the Little Andres Islands are located on the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to the Greater Andres Islands in the middle, the most developed Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast region in the United States is in the north. Unlike the Pacific Ocean, it requires passing through the Panama Canal or across the mainland to reach the eastern United States.

Taking these factors into consideration, it is much easier for the US military to guard the Little Andres Islands than to guard the Hawaiian Islands.

From a strategic perspective, the Little Andres Islands are more important than the Hawaiian Islands. Even if local security is not considered, for the United States, losing the Little Andres Islands is equivalent to losing the entire South America, and it is equivalent to losing the treasure house of resources to maintain the normal operation of the American war machines. Although the United States has abundant resources that can maintain the war, many of them have not been mined for dozens of years, especially mines, many of which have been idle for decades. Even if they are used immediately, it is difficult to achieve the huge output required by the war in the short term. In fact, resources are not the main problem.

After the defensive line was shrinking, the US war consumption was greatly reduced, such as the loss of weapons, equipment and combat materials on the route were much less than before. More importantly, starting from the second half of the year, with the US Navy losing a lot on the Pacific battlefield, the US authorities realized that the situation was difficult to reverse and increased their domestic strategic reserves, especially those that needed to be imported from abroad. Affected by this, by the mid-2 years, even if the United States could no longer import materials from South America, its stored strategic resources would be enough to persist until the domestic production was fully improved.

The key is local security!

As we all know, the relationship between the Republic and Cuba is extraordinary. Cuba is not only unable to participate in the war, nor is it not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that the Republic has fought to the Caribbean Sea, that is, it is not that important to ensure the local security of Cuba.

If the Republic occupied the BuAndres Islands, it would be equivalent to giving the Republic access to Cuba, and it would be equivalent to giving the Republic the ownership of Cuba. In fact, this is not necessary at all. With the voyage of the Republic's strategic bomber, as long as you gain a foothold in the Little Andres Islands, you can even reach Venezuela to bomb the United States.

By then, the Republic can fully focus on protecting strategic routes, and then use tide-like bombers and more bombs to bomb the United States into the Stone Age.

Some people may think that the United States is not Japan in World War II, nor Australia and New Zealand in this world war. The United States not only has a vast enough land, but also has a relatively balanced industrial distribution. With perfect local infrastructure, the United States' ability to resist strategic bombing is far greater than that of other countries and will not be worse than that of the Republic. Therefore, it is difficult for the Republic to deal with the United States by dealing with Australia.

From a theoretical analysis, that's true.

Although Australia's land area is not much smaller than that of the United States, except for Alaska and Hawaii, the United States' land area is less than 10,000 square kilometers, Australia's towns are relatively concentrated, and the industrial distribution is also concentrated, and they are all in coastal areas. As the number one power in the Western world and a superpower that has dominated the world for more than four years, the United States not only has the most developed urban network, but also has very complete local infrastructure. It can be said that to defeat the United States with strategic bombing, it theoretically requires a price equivalent to Australia's old times. If the United States' military strength, especially the strength of the US aviation force, it will definitely cost a heavier price.

The problem is that war does not develop according to theoretical calculations.

Before the end of June 2, the Republic's Heavenly Army submitted a strategic bombing plan against the United States to the Supreme Command, which clearly stated that only bombers and fighter aircraft were needed, plus sufficient materials and a complete Erpahanshi, could defeat the United States within a maximum of no more than a year and a half.

Let’s not talk about how credible this plan is. At least one thing is certain, that is, the Republic’s Heavenly Army has not shown all its strength. With the situation of the grain year, as long as the Republic’s Heavenly Army is willing, it can concentrate more than 20,000 bombers to carry out strategic bombing on the US mainland at any time. Of course, the prerequisite is to obtain enough front-line bases.

There is no doubt that the Little Andres is a good choice.

Although compared with the Greater Andres Islands in the north, the islands of the Little Andres Islands are far away from the United States. However, for the deployment of bombers and escort fighters, these islands are huge enough. More importantly, the main function of the island is not to build airports, but to build front-line ammunition depots and store weapons and ammunition. In any case, the biggest problem in bombing the United States is not where to deploy bombers. It is how to improve bombing efficiency, that is, how to send hundreds of millions of ammunition and drug resources to the front line and then send them to the United States with the highest efficiency!

The key to solving this problem is the Little Andres Islands!

From the perspective of strategic deployment, the Republic's Navy should push the front line to Cuba as much as possible, and will soon turn Cuba into a frontier position for bombing the United States. The problem is, from the perspective of security, because Cuba is too close to the United States, and even within the range of the US long-range electromagnetic guns, the Republic should not store materials at the location and the society is in Cuba, but should be slightly behind. Although Venezuela has participated in the war, from the geographical location, especially the number of ports, the small Caribbean countries on the Little Andres Islands are obviously more in line with the requirements of the Republic's Sky Army.

Combining these factors, the United States has no reason to give up the Little Andres Islands.

To be honest, even if the US military cannot defend the Andres cluster, it should not give such an important island standoff.

In fact, the US military did not fight desperately in the Little Andres Islands, or even made decent resistance.

There must be a reason for the US military to retreat voluntarily. And it is a very critical reason. Judging from its own situation, even if the US Navy is newly defeated, even if the United States can produce enough warships, and more important fighter jets in the surrounding areas of this ten, due to low morale, it is difficult for the US military to gain an advantage in the battle for the Little Andres Islands, and it is even less likely to take the initiative. More importantly, if it suffers another defeat due to the situation at that time, the US military will suffer a crushing defeat in the Little Andres Islands.

The difference is only how badly the defeat is, which will cause a devastating blow to the morale of the US military. At that time, the United States will lose more than an archipelago. Choosing to retreat on its own initiative will at least preserve its morale, giving the US Navy a chance to breathe. It also gives Marines that have suffered heavy losses on the Pacific battlefield. The air force that is almost defeated has the opportunity to revive its momentum. In short, retreating is not about fear, but for the purpose of preserving strength and for the victory in the future.

Judging from the reality, the US military has no capital to fight against the Republic's Navy in the Little Andres Islands. The key is Venezuela and Bolivia. With these two Latin American countries announcing their joining intensive groups and declaring war on the United States, it will inevitably have a great impact on Latin American countries.

Although Argentina had declared war on the United States before this, due to its geographical location and Argentina's long-term policies, it did not have much impact on Latin American countries. It only allowed Chile to make a decision to cooperate with the Republic, namely to open the Strait of Magellan and allow the Republic's ships and warships to navigate freely. Compared with Argentina, Venezuela and Bolivia's national strength was much weaker, but its influence in Latin American countries was much greater, especially Venezuela, who was more successful in the Caribbean region through years of hard work.

It can be said that after Venezuela joined the war, the United States has lost the opportunity to consolidate the defense line of the Andres Islands.

In fact, the United States has long lost the opportunity to defend the Little Andres Islands.

Although few people thought that the United States would win a great victory before the outbreak of the war, no one, including Duchwi, believed that the United States would lose the Pacific Ocean War in Beng and would fight the Republic's Navy in the Atlantic Ocean in the fifth year of participating in the war. Therefore, in the pre-war preparations, the US authorities have not paid much attention to the defense work of the local surrounding areas, especially the North Atlantic, and it is even more impossible to build the Andres Islands as a fortress. Of course, this has a lot to do with the strategic defense line that is full of loopholes and needs to be plugged in from the east. In other words, in the case of a large number of more important places that need to strengthen the military existence, two years ago, the US authorities had no reason to spend a lot of effort to strengthen the defense of the Andres Islands. Sadly, when the US authorities discovered that the defense of the Andres Islands was vulnerable and could not withstand the attack of the Republican team, there was no time to strengthen the defense deployment.

It can be said that this is the main reason why the US authorities had to give up the Little Andres Islands.

Judging from the United States' defense deployment in the Little Andres Islands, especially the infrastructure situation, if compared with the Hawaiian Islands, it would cost an old price to block the Republican team. For the United States, this is obviously unbearable. You should know that the main ground troops of the US military were trapped on the Middle East battlefield. Even the ground troops that could be mobilized seemed to be difficult to defend the local defense line. How could they have the ability to strengthen the Little Andres Islands? Under the circumstances at that time, if the US authorities made the decision to defend the Little Andres Islands, the only choice was to send the newly built troops still practicing in the local area. This means that the American soldiers who had no basic training were not sent to the slaughterhouse. Like pigs and cows, they became cannon fodder without even knowing where the enemy was.

You know, these are the new forces guarding the local area.

In other words, if you lose these new forces in a battlefield that is destined to lose, even if you can gain a few months, it will not help you improve your strategic situation, and it will even be less rewarding.

Of course, the US authorities have not completely abandoned the Andres Islands.

Before retreating, the US military bombed all ports and most airports, including the Port of Spain, St. George, Kingston, Castries, Fort France, Rosso, Bastell, Plymouth, St. John, Walley, Rhodes City and Charlotte Amaria, and even destroyed some of the transportation infrastructure of dogs on several large islands. If it weren't for enough time, the US military would even transport some mines from the country, blocking the crucial port.

The problem is that the impact of the US military doing so is very limited.

Because it was expected that the US military would destroy the infrastructure. Moreover, on the Pacific battlefield, the US military never left the infrastructure that could be used in military affairs to the Republican team intact, so before entering the Atlantic Ocean, the Republican Navy customized a lot of prefabricated parts.

The only thing that appears is naturally the field airport component.

This prefabricated system that can build a field airport within a few hours was widely promoted in World War III, and in many cases even became an existence as important as a maritime base. It can be said that if the production scale of the maritime base was not expanded and the procurement cost of component ships was greatly reduced, the Republic's Navy would not be able to build a maritime base on a large scale. It could only gradually seize the islands as before and then build temporary bases on the islands, thus greatly extending the duration of the Pacific War.

Of course, when the maritime base can already support most aviation operations, the most critical thing is the temporary dock.

Like field airports, temporary docks are also built with many prefabricated parts. The biggest feature is that they can be built in a very short time and put into use. When they are not required, they can be transferred to other places at a relatively fast speed.

After two years of development, temporary docks have become a very critical security equipment for jobs. Like maritime bases, with the advancement of technology, most components of temporary docks have self-navigation capabilities and do not need to sink the bottom when deploying. It can be said that this greatly expands the range of activities of temporary docks and greatly improves the deployment flexibility of troops.

In fact, this is a design that is entirely aimed at the Pacific battlefield.

You should know that in the vast Pacific Ocean, especially east of the international date change line, not only are there few islands, but there are even fewer islands with natural harbors. At some point, it is difficult to find a lagoon that can be parked by ships. Affected by this, there must be a temporary facility that can be deployed at any time and can provide ships with an ideal docking environment without sinking the bottom. This is a mobile temporary dock. Compared with a sea base, the biggest difference between a mobile temporary dock is that it does not have an autonomous power system. Except for a few components with self-navigation capabilities, most of them require towed boats. Of course, the main reason for this design is to reduce costs and be able to be built in large quantities.

It can be seen that the US military destroyed the infrastructure on the Little Andres Islands only caused some trouble for the Republican team, and did not stop the Republican army from advancing.

Objectively speaking, the US authorities do not expect to use such a simple method to keep the Republican team in the Little Andres Islands instead of taking the opportunity to go north.

Not to mention, the US troops withdrawn from the Andres Islands did not return to their homeland, but all went to Puerto Rico, located in the northwest of the archipelago, and together with the local garrison, strengthened the defense deployment of this very important island belonging to the United States, and put on a stance to fight the Republican team here.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to strengthen military deployment alone.

At the end of the short term, US President Duchwit issued a very special decree, that is, all Puerto Ricans can obtain American nationality by joining the army for 2 years or serving in non-combat units for 4 years. Becoming an American, and being able to receive a salary of 60% of local soldiers of the same level at one time after the service expires. If you choose to continue serving, you can receive the same promotion treatment as local soldiers.

In other words, Puerto Ricans, who were originally excluded from mainstream American society and were not even recognized by the US authorities, could become Americans by fighting for the United States.

Obviously, this decree came a little late.

Although many Puerto Ricans join the army because of this, especially those young people with relatives working in the United States, will take advantage of this opportunity, more Puerto Ricans choose to remain silent rather than be American cannon fodder.

More importantly, the U.S. low-level move is equivalent to clearly telling Europe across the ocean not to have any hope for the United States.

Obviously, this has a very important impact on the Jewish issue that has been stalemate for a long time!
