If the shells fired by the Ambition-class battleship were ordinary grenades, they would definitely not be able to produce a scorched earth effect on San Juan. The shells fired by the Ambition-class battleship are all cloud bombs, and every explosion can form a huge flame. District, the houses were directly knocked down, and the wood used to build the houses was set on fire, so San Juan became a piece of scorched earth.

After dawn, Borisno sent French support troops into San Juan to search for any living people. As a result, no living people were found, only charred corpses were found.

Borisno then ordered the French support army to bury the body on the spot, and sent a message to the world that the French support army had occupied San Juan and liberated Puerto Rico. Not mentioned.

Borisno then issued an order to all parts of Puerto Rico, requiring all Puerto Rican government officials and plantation owners to pledge their allegiance to the French Republic. France will protect their private property and all coffee beans and coffee products will be purchased by French merchants at the original price.

At this time, the economic entity of Puerto Rico was an agricultural company controlled by the United States, which mainly exported coffee, and its main business premises were major coffee plantations. Borisno made the owners of these plantations loyal to France.

These plantation owners don’t talk about patriotism. The capitalists have no motherland.

The situation in Puerto Rico was not as the United States and the Central American Federation had thought in advance. Various plantation owners and the local government of Puerto Rico would group up and besiege the French army.

This surprised the United States and the Central American Federation. At this time, all 15 Central American federal troops were hiding in the tropical rainforest in the mountains of Puerto Rico. Their original plan was to rely on the local government and plantation owners of Puerto Rico to attack the French army and businessmen. A large-scale raid was carried out, but it backfired, and the local government and plantation owners in Puerto Rico swore to show their allegiance to France.

It is obviously impossible to let the Central American federal troops leave the mountainous tropical rainforest and go to the plains to fight head-on with the French support army. In terms of head-on reckless fighting, the chances of winning for the U.S. military and the French support army are [-]-[-]. The odds are even lower, and they seem to lose the point of staying in Puerto Rico.

At this time, the Central American Federal Army also began to lose morale. Although the tropical rainforest in the mountainous area of ​​Puerto Rico has no worries about food and drink, it is uncomfortable for people to stay here. There are many mosquitoes in the tropical rainforest and the air is humid. Although many Central American Federal Army soldiers grew up I grew up in the tropical rainforest, and I don't want to stay in this environment any longer.

Madero, the rotating chairman of the Central American Federation, immediately went to William McKim to discuss, intending to withdraw the Central American Federation from Puerto Rico, enter Dominica and Haiti, and defend these two places.

When Madero came to find William McKinley, William McKinley was summarizing the experience of the Puerto Rico War with members of the think tank and senior generals of the US Army and Navy. After a heated discussion, William McKinley concluded that In conclusion, the enemy must be kept out of the door at the beginning of the war, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

After William McKinley came to such a conclusion, Madero asked to see William McKinley and offered his opinion.

Madero's opinion was fully endorsed by William McKinley, who also believed that the Central American federal forces and the remaining US troops now had little meaning in staying in Puerto Rico, and it was better to withdraw from Puerto Rico and enter the Defense of Dominica and Haiti. Many soldiers in the Central American Federal Army are Dominicans and Haitians. Let them go back to their hometowns for defense, and the effect will be better.

William McKinley discussed with the generals of the army and navy. The generals of the US Army and Navy agreed with William McKinley's point of view. On the northeast side of Puerto Rico, Dominica and Haiti on the west side of Puerto Rico, naval ships could successfully transport the Central American federal troops away without being attacked by the French army.

So Madero gave an order to transfer Puerto Rican troops to Dominica and Haiti, which is equivalent to ceding Puerto Rico to the French support army.

Dominica and Haiti are located on the west side of Puerto Rico, separated from Puerto Rico by the Mona Strait, which is only [-] kilometers wide.

Dominica and Haiti were originally the land of Indians. Later, European colonists entered this land, massacred Indians, and transported black slaves from Africa to serve as plantation slaves.

Later, under the leadership of some whites, the blacks launched riots, overthrew the European colonists, and established the Dominican Republic and the Haitian Republic. At the beginning of the founding of these two countries, the domestic political situation was extremely turbulent. Later, the Americans came and supported the pro-American regime, and the situation in the two countries stabilized.

With the assistance of the U.S. Navy, the Central American Federal Forces crossed the Mona Strait and entered Dominica and Haiti. This process was detected by the French support forces, but the French support forces did not attack them because they had just occupied San Juan. The main force dare not act rashly.

French President Poincaré saw that the situation in Puerto Rico was almost over, and immediately ordered the French support army to set off for Dominica and Haiti to occupy these two places.

The reason why France continues to send troops, on the one hand, is because Lin Yuan’s original plan was to take Puerto Rico, then Dominica and Haiti, and finally take Cuba, and then enter Central America; Getting bigger and bigger, a small Puerto Rico can no longer satisfy them.

The area of ​​Puerto Rico is only [-] square kilometers, while the area of ​​Dominica and Haiti is [-] square kilometers. Of course, France wants more land.

After three months of rest, Borisno led the French support force to continue marching towards Dominica and Haiti. The first place to attack is the capital of Dominica - Santo Domingo.
