Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, one month has passed since the wedding.  Dong Ku ended his honeymoon in March 1938 and issued the order to start the horse seizing plan.  The various departments that were ready began to move and assemble towards the established goals.  At this time, the Panamanian government, due to the existence of the U.S-Malaysia Treaty, allowed the United States to establish a state within a state in Panama.  Not only are the railroads operated by the United States, but the jurisdiction of the canal also belongs to the United States.  Although Panama's independence was achieved through an agreement between the so-called four Americans and seven Panamanians, and with the support of materials and weapons from the United States, the United States' hegemonic terms were still unbearable for this cowardly country. Although before the United States declared war on Japan  One day, war was declared against Japan, but it was not against the United States, but because there were many Japanese cargo ships in the canal, they were detained after the war was declared.  Although Xiaojiazi is a little angry, it also shows that they are too poor, or that most of the interests are controlled by the United States, and they have received very little from the benefits of railways and canals.  Long before Dong Ku¡¯s wedding, Cuba and Hawaii began to secretly import combatants to Panama, and some related personnel had borders with the Panamanian government.  The president of Panama this time is ¡®Juan de Mostenes Arosemena Bareati¡¯.  At this time, the president, who is committed to education and health, has no serious problems and is in good health.  Although Juan has not made any achievements in the military, it is not because he does not want to, but because he feels that he must first have a strong national foundation before he can fight against the behemoth of the United States.  This is also the main reason why he is committed to education and health.  The person who came to contact Juan was Han Lie. He never returned to Cuba and did not attend the collective wedding.  He was one of the few unmarried generals, so he came to Panama first and met Juan.  When Juan knew his identity, he was still very cautious, but when he heard that Han Lie personally participated in Cuba's independence and assisted him with force against the United States.  He was tempted.  After three days of secret meetings, Juan became completely excited when he got the news that Nu Feng would not participate in any political management of Panama, allow Panama to be completely independent, and repay a loan equivalent to one billion U.S. dollars in euros to assist Panama in infrastructure construction.  Forming an alliance with Nu Feng seems to be the best choice now.  Although Nu Feng controls many countries, the strongest one currently is Nu Feng.  Moreover, Nu Feng does not participate in any management of Panama, and only requires low tariffs on countries within the trade alliance in terms of trade.  But it¡¯s definitely not too much. It¡¯s just two percentage points lower, and the freighter traffic in the merchant alliance is reduced by a point, which is also two points lower.  The only special thing is that countries in the business alliance can do business in Panama, and they will be given convenience and tax reductions if it is legal, and they will receive diplomatic immunity.  For these.  Juan can accept it.  These are just commercial conditions, and there will be no loss of interest to Panama.  If it really gains independence, the operation of railways and canals alone will be able to revitalize Panama's current sluggish economy.  With the backing of Nu Feng, there is no need to worry about the threat of force from the United States, after all, the Bahamas and Cuba.  Bermuda declared independence under the nose of the United States, and the United States did not obstruct its independence after the war.  This is enough to show that Nu Feng's strength is much higher than that of the United States.  So, after he finally confirmed that Nu Feng would not interfere in the political affairs of the regime, he agreed to sign the relevant agreement, but only after Panama gained independence and obtained the operating rights of the canal and railway.  Han Lie knew that he would agree, so he did not meet with Xu again after the meeting, but only left a code word for the call.  Then quietly disappeared.  At the same time that Dong Ku issued the order, he began to conduct reconnaissance and control of all U.S. military garrisons and offices in the Isthmus of Panama, allowing a steady stream of Huya warriors and Furious elites to gather in disguise at these locations, ready to control these places at any time.  .  At this time, the United States did not know that Dong Ku had set its sights on the Panama Canal, which they had spent a lot of effort to control. There were only four old battleships, two fast cruisers and two coastal frigates.  It is the naval armed force that has never left here.  Very few of these warships left, and no additional ships were added, but the infantry deployment was nearly twice as large as before the Cuban War, with one division of infantry and two armored regiments stationed in this area.  Protecting railroads and canals.  This is a paradise for Americans, so Americans also have many tourists or businessmen here. They enjoy all the rights that people here can enjoy, and they also develop arrogance and domineering habits. Rapes are also common.  occur.  Undercurrents are surging. It has been ten days since Tung Ku issued the order to start the plan. Not much has changed in other places. Germany is still at war with the Soviet Union and the war is fierce. Britain has reduced its troops and is defending its homeland to prevent the Germans from taking the opportunity to pass through England.  strait.  It¡¯s still as peaceful as before in Panama.  However, Han Lie has alreadyThe preparations were ready, and the direct relatives sent by Juan to cooperate with him were also in place.  In the early morning, Panama City started to be noisy as usual, and the city woke up in the sea breeze.  Located in the commercial center of Panama City, on Central Street, American soldier John swayed and hummed a tune as he walked toward the military camp.  He was very satisfied with the battle last night.  The Panamanian girl not only lived well, but was also quite beautiful, so he decided to get a house to raise her so that she would not be remembered by others.  As he was walking, suddenly, there was a noise behind him, and then two Panamanian youths rushed onto the street, pointed at him and shouted: "That's him!! Don't let him run away!!!" Hearing the shouts, John turned back suspiciously.  He glanced at it, then turned back to look in front, not understanding who the shouting behind him was directed at.  Just when he was stunned, two young men grabbed his arms from left to right and started yelling.  "Fake!!" John's good mood disappeared at this moment. He got angry and threw the two of them away. Just as he was about to ask them what they wanted to do, a group of people cheered around him, followed by two people.  A man with his face covered in blood got up from the ground, took two staggering steps forward, and grabbed John again.  So much blood John was stunned for a moment.  Then I felt something was wrong. It seemed that these two people were trying to blackmail me. Otherwise, would they just fall down and have their faces covered in blood?  It's like washing your hair and face with blood.  "Get your dirty hands off!!" John was angry.  But the two young men refused to let go, still holding his arms tightly and shouting intermittently.  The onlookers understood clearly when John was furious. The feeling was that the American soldier broke into the house and raped him last night. Ordinarily, this matter was nothing new. No one would care about him even if he reported it to the military camp.  But this guy not only raped the girl in the house, but also killed the girl and her parents.  There was also a four-year-old brother who slaughtered the whole family just for the sake of quick pleasure.  Now the onlookers gave up and started asking John to argue with the commander of the military camp.  The furious John also understood the whole story. He knocked down the two young men who came first with his angry fists, and then pulled out his revolver and shouted: "You are blackmailing!!! Don't blame me if you get close."  You're welcome!" Just as he waved his pistol.  Everyone around was stunned for a moment. Several soldiers who had also spent the night in the distance saw that their comrades seemed to be surrounded.  They didn't care at all and even laughed at whether it was because the boy didn't pay.  But out of a group spirit, they absolutely couldn't sit idly by and watch, so a few people walked towards the noisy place.  Just as they were moving forward.  Suddenly two gunshots rang out, and then the crowd dispersed with a roar, leaving them alone to look at the two still twitching figures on the ground, obviously confused.  "It's broken, it's John!" Several American soldiers who had already approached saw that they were acquaintances, and they all pulled out their pistols and rushed over.  "They broke into the house and killed the whole family, and also killed people on the street to escape!!! Don't let them escape!!!" After a brief moment of confusion.  The dispersed crowd took out pistols of various styles and gathered around shouting.  John was already stunned at this time, allowing a man who rushed up to disarm his pistol and punch him in the stomach. Severe stomach cramps caused him to fall to the ground in pain, and his mind went blank.  Several running soldiers were frightened and tried to rescue John with their guns raised.  But this time they obviously misjudged the situation, and the crowd became excited.  Several guns were pointed at them, and then they were also shot and knocked down with random punches.  Not far away, behind the curtains on the second floor of the mobile small building, Han Lie looked at the commotion on the street and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "These gangsters can go act in a play. It just so happens that the captain is hiring some actors. I think they are quite suitable." Adjutant Du  Bin smiled and nodded: "Look at Han San. The convulsions are real, like epilepsy, but it's almost like being shot and dying." Han Lie saw that the situation was under control, and then ordered: "I am the director  "The next scene, the second step of the plan begins." After giving the order, he added: "Be smart." So, the angry crowd tied up several soldiers, carried the corpses, and rushed to the nearby military camp.  Along the way, they kept shouting and telling what happened.  It is said that the common people are easy to fool, and sure enough, more and more people gathered together, forming a flow of people all over the street, rushing towards the military camp.  During the march, after a brief commotion, a neat slogan appeared, and it turned out to be Americans, get out of Panama.  Things are just like the well-directed plot. How could the US military camp let these civilians attack the military camp?  The military camp alarm sounded, the soldiers held their guns,He stood ready to prevent these people from attacking the military camp, and tried to talk, understand the situation, and rescue the few soldiers who were tied up.  At this moment, there was a loud gunshot, and then a person in front of the crowd was shot and fell to the ground.  This time something went wrong, and the Panamanian civilians who were already armed immediately went into chaos and began to fight back amidst the banging gunfire.  The situation suddenly got out of control, and the soldiers in the military camp had no choice but to fire back amid the screams of bullets.  These Panamanian civilians were extremely accurate with their marksmanship. They killed all the soldiers behind the bunker in just a few seconds, and only a few people were lost here.  The angry crowd shouted and rushed into the military camp the moment the gunshots disappeared from the front.  These dense crowds rushed into the military camp and when they found a way to counterattack, they quickly fought back. Amidst the surge, a base of more than 400 soldiers was actually captured in less than two minutes.  Those tanks were controlled by these well-trained civilians before they even had time to start. Immediately, the angry crowd grabbed all the soldiers who were not killed and took them to the playground. I don¡¯t know who stepped forward and stabbed them first, followed closely by the remaining soldiers.  He was torn into pieces by random blades, and not a single one was left.  The crowd, which had not yet fully vented their anger, erupted in calls to drive away the Yankees, and then the crowd roared towards the harbor.  Panama City is very close to the mouth of the canal. It can be said that it is right next to it. The US military naval base is on the edge of the peninsula. Four old battleships are also there, two fast cruisers are also there, and only two coastal defense ships are on the other side.  One end.  The sudden incident caused alarms in the harbor to sound wildly, and warships began to fire one after another.  The military camp bunkers were also equipped with heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and they were ready to wait for the crowd to rush in.  Just as the battleship was igniting, there was a popping sound in the cabin, and figures were shot to death one after another while running. Those steady walking figures used pistols with silencers in their hands to kill all the figures they saw from time to time, quickly  Cleaning up the US troops inside the battleship.  Those who were nervous about boarding the ship were entering their combat positions.  He was shot in the head by bullets shot from unknown places, and died in a daze in the cabin, not knowing what happened.  The two fast cruisers have changed their owners a long time ago, because they are patrol ships that usually patrol the sea around the canal mouth, so there are always people on duty on the battleships.  Unlike those old battleships, which usually just moored for nothing, the chimneys are probably rusty.  Time passed quickly in the tense atmosphere, and the angry crowd had already rushed to the port.  The US military at the naval base did not shoot rashly when no soldiers were in sight, and the other party did not rashly attack the port, which was just a thousand meters away.  Gather at a safe distance within bullet range.  At the same time, the United States had received the warning and quickly found Juan, ordering him to prevent the escalation of the conflict among civilians and quickly investigate what happened.  When U.S. officials met with Juan, they mobilized the army and police to try to prevent the development of the situation and have already conducted an investigation.  When U.S. officials learned that this was a civil conflict and not official involvement.  I am still convinced by the results of the investigation.  Because prostitution is a common occurrence for the US military, and sometimes overlords take advantage of them.  But every time, the perpetrators were deported and the victims were compensated, and the situation subsided. No conflicts ever broke out.  ¡°The political ax in Panama also actively cooperated and never once worsened the angry situation.  So, this time the perpetrator killed a whole family and then shot and killed others in the street.  Juan even found the photo from that time, which was taken by a tourist with a camera.  The scene was exactly that of John holding a gun, with two desperate people lying at his feet, and the shocked expressions of the civilians dodging around him were definitely not fake.  It's an expression that only occurs in emergencies.  The matter has become very clear at this point. The US military and naval military bases have also received orders not to escalate the situation and wait for official intervention to solve the problem. The army and police summoned by Juan also rushed to the vicinity of the base to evacuate the people there and prevent them.  The situation worsened.  At this moment, a person suddenly shouted: "Look!! The Yankee warship is about to fire!!! Run!!!" Following his shout, many people saw the warship cannon in the port.  The clothes were lifted off, and the muzzle began to rotate, the direction was exactly where they were.  This is no joke. They can shoot at soldiers when their heads are hot, but they are not so arrogant that they use broken guns to deal with huge warships.  As a result, the crowd panicked and began to flee toward Panama City to avoid being bombarded by artillery.  Just as they were running, the battleship in the distance suddenly erupted into flames, followed by a loud bang, and a ball of flames spurted out several meters away.  Before the crowd could react, there was an ear-splitting sound five or six hundred meters away from them.Amidst the deafening explosion, a ball of flame rose into the sky.  The enemy was shaking violently, and the shock wave swept towards the fleeing figures like a tsunami, swallowing them up in the blink of an eye.  In the distance, debris crackled and fell, and the crowd became even more panicked, desperately trying to escape from the huge earthquake.  Hearing the sound of cannons, not only Juan was stunned, but also the American official was dumbfounded.  "Firing artillery against civilians is a big deal."  Juan angrily grabbed the American official and shouted: "Why are you firing at civilians!? Are you going to launch a war of aggression??!!!" "Mr. President, calm down, this is an accident, it is an accident" That  The officials argued palely.  The moment he finished speaking, loud bangs were heard one after another. They all felt the intensity of artillery fire more than ten kilometers away.  "What are you going to do??!!!" Juan became angry, pushed the American official away, and shouted: "Send the order, level 1 combat readiness!! We must defend our territorial dignity and protect our civilians.  ! ! ¡± ¡°No, Mr. President, we need to talk¡± The official was shocked when he was controlled by the guards and tried to stop the war.  Juan gave him a cold look and said disdainfully: "Talk? Use cannons to talk? Use killing to talk to my civilians?!!!" After saying that, without looking at the guy, he turned and left the reception room.  The desperate official was left behind and walked resolutely outside.  The shelling continued without interruption, with loud noises raising smoke and dust all over the sky in the distance.  The warship suddenly opened fire, causing all US troops and personnel in the port to freeze. Is this going to start a war?  The colonel Smith at the base was stunned for a short time and then became furious: "Farke!! I'm going to hang you!!!" But his rage had no effect, and the bombardment continued and continued.  Although there were few residents or facilities there, the terror caused by the shelling was indescribable.  The loud noises struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.  Smith couldn¡¯t contact the battleship, so he ordered the boat to sail off the ship and give the order.  At the same time, the incident was reported to the base camp.  He knew that he would inevitably have to go to court-martial.  However, all records can prove that he did not order the battleship to fire, but only went to defense.  But it¡¯s too late to say anything.  The situation was out of control, and in less than an hour, it evolved from a small conflict into a war.  Juan issued a national war mobilization order during the bombardment, and at the same time issued a notice to the world, strongly condemning the U.S.'s unprovoked war, lamenting the U.S. military's sinful behavior of bombarding civilians with naval guns, and vowed to fight the U.S. to the end.  Protect the safety of civilians.  At the same time, it declared war on the United States and would defend Panama at all costs and defend Panama's sovereignty and dignity.
