The geographical area of ​​Dominica and Haiti is not large. From Santo Domingo to Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, the distance is only 260 kilometers. In order to develop Dominica and Haiti, the United States has built a high-grade highway between these two cities, and cars travel between the two places. , It only takes four or five hours.

In other words, the U.S. military in Santo Domingo has no strategic depth, and the defense facilities they rely on are nothing but the tropical forests on the island.

The U.S. military originally came up with a plan for urban street warfare, but after the Battle of San Juan, the U.S. military abandoned this plan because they discovered that the French support forces would carry out indiscriminate carpet bombing of the city, and implementing this plan was courting death.

The US military commander in Santo Domingo issued an order to retreat, and the US military immediately withdrew from Santo Domingo and entered the tropical forest around Santo Domingo to prepare for the next battle.

On the Ambition-class battleship Ambition, Borisno received news of the retreat of the U.S. troops, and immediately ordered the troops to occupy Santo Domingo. Borisno also ordered that if anyone in Santo Domingo dared to resist, they would be killed.

Borisno began to plan the next battle plan with his subordinates. Borisno meant that after occupying Santo Domingo, he would march directly westward and take the capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. The terrain of Port-au-Prince is similar to that of Santo Domingo. , the French reinforcements should be able to take it quickly.

Borisno was about to convey the order when Deng Shichang suddenly sent a message. In the communicator, Deng Shichang said in an orderly tone: "General Borisno, please send troops immediately to capture the northern port of Dominica - Puerto Plata .”

Puerto Plata is the largest port in Dominica, located in the north of Dominica, about 160 kilometers away from Santo Domingo.

Borisno was very strange and asked: "General Deng Shichang, why did you ask us to capture that port?"

"We have the latest information that the US military's forest elves and a large number of military supplies entered Dominica from Puerto Plata. If we capture Puerto Plata, we will cut off the US military's support route."

Puerto Plata is the entry port for a large number of forest elves and logistics supplies of the US military. The French intelligence agencies have not figured out this matter, or the General Intelligence Bureau of China took action to investigate this matter clearly.

"You are right, but what troops are we sending?"

"I suggest sending two Ambitious-class battleships and two cruisers to form a mixed formation. As for land combat forces, we don't need to send them for the time being. We just need to cut off the US military's support route from the sea."

"Okay, I'll send the battleship right away." Borisno readily agreed.

Borisno ordered two Ambition-class battleships and two cruisers to go to Puerto Plata. From Santo Domingo to Puerto Plata, it takes about three days to go by sea. During these three days, Borisno did not order troops Go on the offensive, and instead carry out a full-scale occupation of Dominica.

When the U.S. military retreated, the Dominican president also retreated, so Borisno supported a new president. It is not difficult to support the new president, because the Dominican Republic was influenced by the United States before and implemented a democratic system. There are many opposition parties in the country. If the opposition party has a pro-China tendency, it is enough for the French support army to support them.

Politically, things went smoothly, and three days later, a fleet of two Ambitious-class battleships and two cruisers appeared outside the port of Puerto Plata to meet an American convoy head-on.

The French fleet immediately launched an attack on the US transport fleet. In this attack, the battleships that had already entered the history museum played a huge role. They caused huge damage to the US transport ships. It's a nightmare for a ship.

To deal with low-value targets like transport ships, battleships and cruisers with naval guns as their main combat weapons can just maximize the cost-effectiveness ratio.

After the French fleet sank all the American transport ships, it immediately blocked the Puerto Plata, and an American transport ship could not enter the Dominican Republic.

The U.S. military commander in Dominica couldn't bear it anymore. If the U.S. support couldn't come in, the U.S. troops would be killed by the French support army sooner or later. He immediately sent a telegram to the country, demanding that the French fleet blockading the port be wiped out immediately.

The United States has nothing to do, because the United States has no battleships, and the rise of China has made all battleships useless. The United States stopped all battleship construction plans a few years ago.

The United States' real combat weapons are aircraft carriers and aircraft. They are a piece of cake for dealing with the French fleet. However, Lin Yuan and the United States have signed a no-fly zone agreement. Neither the United States nor China can use aircraft anymore.

The U.S. military commander was very dissatisfied with this, and he said angrily in the telegram: "Mr. President, can't we send planes to sink the warships of the French support forces? If China sends troops to question the crime, we will simply deny it."

US President William McKinley was not as free and easy as him. Hong Shikai wandered around the Norfolk Naval Base, scaring the Americans.

Not only does the United States dare not cause a war between China and the United States, but more importantly, the United States is waiting for China to collapse. The area controlled by China is so large, and there are various cultures and ideas in the controlled area. How can it be possible to completely control these areas with the slogan of "development"?

U.S. President William McKim called to tell the U.S. military commander in Dominican Republic: "We can't do anything about the French support fleet. You should find a way to solve them yourself. We are trying our best to find another channel to transport supplies."

The Dominican U.S. military commander hurriedly asked: "How long will it take us to find another channel?" There was no reply from the U.S., and the Dominican U.S. military commander sent three consecutive telegrams to inquire. Only then did the domestic call back: "It will take at least five months. .”

The Dominican U.S. military commander saw this attitude in the country. He was disappointed and angry. It was still five months, and the U.S. military could not wait for fifty days.

So the Dominican U.S. military commander made an extremely important decision-surrender to the French support army. The reason why he made such a decision was by no means out of impulse. The strength of the U.S. military remaining in Dominica has been desperate. (Another work by Cang Hai, Nanyang Overlord, has been completed. The new book is asking for your opinions.
