Although the momentum was huge and the air strikes were good, both Maschel, Rommel or Garland were sober that their expansion in Central America had ended, or at least one end. After the second phase of the Caribbean battle advanced toward Colombia through Venezuela, Germany swept Colombia and Panama one after another, and then took advantage of the situation to attack Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Especially after the Treaty from Guyana, Rommel had only more than 20,000 troops in his hands. He left thousands of troops in Colombia and more than 8,000 troops in Panama. After deducting casualties in the war, the less than 6,000 troops who could invest in actual combat were successfully achieved through the last ray of fierceness and the strong suppression of the naval formation.

This is a complete end to the end of his strength. Although Rommel is very energetic, Gauss is very calm. He believes that the United States is just being fooled by a combination of punches. Once they react, the troops left in Costa Rica and Nicaragua are in danger. He does not recommend the occupation mission here, but advocates shrinking to Panama as soon as possible after harassment.

Although Rommel was a little reluctant, it was still obvious that the situation was now. Now the German army was mainly suppressing the navy's strength and the name of the army. If he really fought head-on, nearly 100,000 US troops in Central America would not be able to deal with easily. Moreover, the more he fought north, the closer he was to the US mainland, and the opponent could continuously draw forces to move south, which would cost him himself. So he followed Gauss' advice and prepared to withdraw troops from Panama on March 4 to break away from contact with the US military. However, he asked the Air Force to continue to attack the US troops in Honduras and Guatemala, giving them the illusion that they would still have to advance and cover the retreat of the troops.

As for attacking the US-Mexico border, it would be enough to do it once. If it is too much, it will not work and will cause unnecessary losses. However, what everyone never expected was that Garland used 12 bombers to tinker in the United States and caused a huge storm in Washington. Dewey, who was forced to force it, began to be suspicious: on the one hand, it believed that the Mexicans had colluded with the Germans and even reached an agreement, otherwise how could it be explained that the German bombing was ushered in just management on the US-Mexico border? On the other hand, it believed that the German army had the possibility of attacking the US mainland through Central America and Mexico.

After a group of staff members' headless analysis, they actually believed that attacking from Mexico to the United States was the most likely strategic intention of the axis, and even analyzed the reasons seriously:

First, the attack from Mexico, Japan and Germany can truly join forces, which is much more convenient than attacking the east and west coasts;

Second, advancing from Mexico is conducive to Germany's military advantage to leveraging its army's advantages. After all, it is very difficult to fight a landing battle, but it is much more convenient to push it along Mexico;

Third, the southern border does not have sufficient defensive forces deployed like the east and west coasts. Not to mention that there are not many troops, even the supporting anti-aircraft guns, radar units, and air force units are pitifully few.

In order to get rid of this sense of crisis, Clark immediately ordered the mobilization of more troops not only including 4 infantry divisions and 1 armored division, but also 6 anti-aircraft artillery regiments and establish an emergency radar warning system. Arnold also gritted his teeth and drew more than 300 aircraft from other directions, and even more than 40 valuable night fighters.

Rommel, who was ready to withdraw his troops, had no idea about this news, and he would be so laughed to death if he knew it!

At the same time, Dewey, who was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, also ordered the Navy to attack quickly and reverse the unfavorable situation, and even bypassed the Joint Conference and the Navy to send his telegram directly to the Atlantic Fleet.

"What a mischief!" Lieutenant General Mitchell cursed angrily after reading the telegram, and casually crumpled the telegram into a ball and threw it into the sea.

"This" Hewitt is now the chief of staff of the Atlantic Fleet, but his rank is lieutenant general like Mitchell.

"What does he know? The navy has never done it for a day and dares to point fingers at the fleet. This is how McKell and the Pacific Fleet were sent to a dead end by them! As the last large fleet left in the United States, can I be careless? Quick? The more anxious you are, the more you make mistakes, and the more you make mistakes, the easier it is to lose!"

Hewitt couldn't answer this. Although Mitchell's attitude was very bad, he thought this sentence still made sense. In a sense, this was the last reliance of the United States and he could never afford to lose.

“What’s your idea?”

"Push slowly and then launch a sprint like a swordsman. If we need to attack drastically, we will lose such a complicated situation in the Caribbean. Can we penetrate at will?"

Although we know that the German fleet is currently in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, the specific location still needs to be obtained by aircraft reconnaissance, so Mitchell's decision is very clear: the main force of the fleet advances quietly, uses all the land aviation power to find out and lock the enemy's position, and then use a wave of flow to take away the main force of the German army even if the opponent strikes back, it will not cause great danger.

He was extremely slow in his actions: Nimitz estimated that he would be able to take the enemy in five days, but in fact, four days passed, and the main force of the Atlantic Fleet was still wandering between the Bahamas and Miami. While relying on the nearby protection of Air Force aircraft, he also urged the Air Force to speed up reconnaissance and summon the Air Force to this extent. Mitchell also set a record.

As for the course, Mitchell has not yet made up his mind: whether to intercept the left wing around the periphery of the European island chain or to go to the right wing Yucaya Strait or go straight down from the Cuba Strait between Cuba and Haiti. But one thing Hewitt is certain is that Mitchell never wants to fight a face-to-face with the Axis Fleet. The upright sea decisive battle is something he wants to avoid.

"It would be a victory to drive the German fleet away from the Caribbean, which means we have won precious time again." Within the fleet, this sentence is a catchphrase on Mitchell's mouth. Hewitt believes that it is a bit of ambition to destroy his own might, but from a rational perspective, this is indeed a good way.

In order to explain his repeated staying near the Florida Strait without moving forward, Mitchell put the blame on the German submarine, saying, "There are a large number of advanced German submarines in the Caribbean Sea. If it is not properly handled actively, it may pose a great threat to the fleet.

Of course, Germany has a premise in the Caribbean, but it is far from as serious as Mitchell's rendering. There are only 7 xxi or xxiii classes in the Caribbean. After deducting 2 submarines serving the commando, in fact, only 5 submarines can truly pose a threat to the US fleet, one monitors the Yucaya Strait, two are on the front line of the European island chain, and two are deployed near Jamaica, Mashar is also afraid that the US fleet will suddenly break out.

On March 3, the Mexican gang arrived in New Orleans, a major city in Louisiana, where they met with French gangs, and were surprised to find that there were also a large number of Mexicans here.

"Brother, isn't it said that the US-Mexico border was blocked by the National Guard and the police, how did they come?"

"You don't know, these people came by boat."

“Boat?”

"Although the land border has been blocked, the sea has not been blocked yet. The smart Mexicans came to the United States on a boat." The police explained while smoking camel cigarettes handed over by Scorzne, "Although most of them were intercepted and repatriated, there were still many fish that missed the net."

"Hell," Scorzne cursed indignantly, "Where are our navy and anti-smuggling patrol boats?"

"Navy?" the other party shrugged, "I didn't know where to hide. As for anti-smuggling boats, there are ships in such a large area of ​​sea, no matter day and night, do you think they are busy?"

Scozine was speechless, and the next minute he thought of the retreat path he had thought about: since the port is so chaotic, it would be much safer to walk from the port instead of going to the old path of the US-Mexico border.

When he thought of this, his mood improved a lot, but his face was still full of darkness: "It seems you have to worry too much."

"That's right? Who knows that the situation is so chaotic? Alas, the war has come to this point, why are the big men in Washington not considering peace?"

"The new president can't put down his airs, right?"

"I have a bad attitude and lose every day! The domestic security and economy are messed up. I've been exhausted these two days and can't even make up for overtime wages."

"Didn't you vote for him?"

"I've surrendered!" The policeman stumbled on his neck, "I thought he was a capable person, but who knew he was also a coward. Look at what kind of battle he fought!"

"Then wait for another 4 years."

"Oh, how many 4 years does life have? This fucking system!"
