Chapter 1,313 The United States Sends Troops

FARC suddenly declared war on the Colombian government forces. Not only the Americans were shocked, but also Russia and New Zealand, who were advising him, were stunned for a while.

Tymoshenko Jimenez not only advanced his plan by a full half a year, but he even copied the guy without even saying hello.

But it's not entirely his fault.

Juan died at the hands of the CIA... Regardless of whether he really died at the hands of the CIA, this was an excellent opportunity to attack the pro-American government.

The president of Colombia dies, the vice president is unable to take on the important task, the power struggle within the party intensifies, the political situation is in chaos, and the public support rate drops...

We have the excuse and opportunity for revolution. If we don’t start an uprising now, when will we wait?

Following Jimenez's order, the FARC guerrillas active in the eastern tropical rain forests came out in full force and launched the largest offensive in the 21st century to the areas controlled by government forces in the west.

Armed men with orange bullet chains wrapped around their bodies and armed with light machine guns rushed out of the tropical rainforest, roared onto the street, and fired a hail of bullets at the police car, crushing the small pistols of the Colombian police. Can't hold my head up.

The militiamen who came to support were no match and were beaten back steadily. Soon the entire town fell into the hands of the FARC.

The same scene happened in various small towns at the foot of the Andes.

This time, Jimenez thoroughly implemented the strategic idea of ​​encircling the cities from the countryside and took guerrilla tactics to the extreme. Cities controlled by the government forces were not touched at all, and small towns and even rural areas with weak defenses were pursued fiercely. beat.

As for the Colombian government forces, the situation is quite bad.

To describe it in one word, it is chaos.

The vice president who took over the power of the president is a mascot in his own right, and he is the kind of person who is completely speechless in his own party. If it weren't for the coincidence of Juan's death, he would have had no chance of sitting on the position of president.

However, such a mascot is now sitting on the throne of the president. Let alone Congress, which has a complicated power structure, he can't even coordinate the internal issues within the party, let alone solve the dual dilemmas of diplomacy and civil war that Colombia is facing today?

Seeing the stalemate in the battle in Pamplona, ​​the central region is again trapped in the quagmire of guerrilla warfare. The Colombian government army immediately dispatched an armored brigade to the Cucuta area north of Pamplona. On the one hand, in order to calm the panic of the local people,

On the other hand, it was to prevent the FARC from taking over Pamplona and moving north to invade this important economic town.

Unfortunately, South America is in a period of frequent typhoons, and heavy rains have continued for many days.

The road conditions in the Andes are not good to begin with, and the threat of heavy rains and mudslides has turned the entire mountainous area into a nightmare for armored forces. Most of the tanks were stranded at the foot of the mountain. This armored brigade had to give up its cumbersome heavy armor. The infantry went first and rushed to the Colombian border in military trucks.

What was even more unfortunate was that this armored brigade ran into the FARC guerrillas who were out fighting the autumn wind.

A scuffle broke out in the rain.

Both sides have their own elites, especially the Colombian side. Although the armored brigade is lagging behind two tank battalions, the armored vehicles can still be used. In the end, the retreat of the FARC guerrillas declared the outcome of this encounter.

As for who took advantage?

It's really hard to say.

After going through many hardships and dangers, this elite division finally arrived in the Cucuta area, stabilizing Colombia's control over the border. In the short term, people from FARC should not be interested in this city, but it is foreseeable that the two sides will start a fierce battle for control of this area.

Because this is a shortcut to Venezuela, if you want to get armored unit support from Russia and New Zealand from Venezuela, Jimenez must win this city.

The war has reached this stage, and the areas controlled by each side have been divided.

Colombia controls most of the country, while FOV uses the Andes as its front, controlling the mountains of central Colombia and parts of its traditional sphere of influence, deep in the Amazon jungle in the far south.

Speaking of which, I have to mention Colombia’s geographical environment.

The Andes Mountains are like a dividing line, dividing Colombia into two worlds.

On the left is the bustling west coast, and on the right are endless tropical rainforests and grasslands.

Looking down from Google Maps, the criss-crossing road network in the west is in sharp contrast to the bare east. Just from the differences in the road network, it is easy to see that the development differences between the east and west of Colombia are huge and the contradictions are sharp.

Although Jimenez is a cruel and evil tyrant, notorious for his drug and hostage problems, he still has a good support rate in the southeastern part of Colombia because his drug plantations are concentrated in the southeast. It has greatly improved the living standards of local people.

When FARC waved its counter-flag, many South American youth groups still stood up to respond to his revolution.

If the FARC guerrillas completely control the Andes, they will inevitably cut off the government's control of the southern provinces, and there is no doubt that the Colombian government will completely lose them. As a result, FARC will cut off more than half of Colombia's territory.

And this is what neither the Colombian government nor the Americans want to see.

It is precisely for this reason that on the 24th hour when the FARC guerrillas launched a full-scale offensive against the areas controlled by the Colombian government forces along the Andes Mountains, the US White House signed a special decree and received more than 80% approval in Congress. of votes.

In a word.

The Americans finally took action.

…

Standing on the bridge of the flagship, across the ten miles of waves and pouring rain, Hogg looked at the South American continent on the line between the sea and the sky. His eyes were narrowed like an eagle, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

On the Ford-class aircraft carrier not far away, ground crews were busy shuttle. An F35 loaded with ammunition slowly drove onto the runway from the hangar and flew into the sky through the rain. Although its mission is only reconnaissance, it will not hesitate to pour out the flames of "justice" to the FARC if the situation requires it.

For the children of South America, the United States has spent a lot of money this time.

Not only did they dispatch the Ford-class aircraft carrier battle group that had confronted New Zealand in the Western Pacific some time ago, but they also dispatched a brigade of Marines and a comprehensive aviation squadron.

Yes, not just the aircraft carriers, but also the ground forces.

The White House and the National Assembly rarely reached an agreement on whether to send ground troops. After obtaining the authorization from the current president of Colombia (former vice president), ground troops were sent to Colombia as reinforcements.

It seems that this time the Americans not only plan to abuse food in the air, but also plan to drive tanks up and slide around.

Even the aircraft carriers dispatched to the battle group are the latest Ford class.

Jiang Chen made a malicious guess, and estimated that the Americans were using Colombia as a weapons testing ground to test the ground support capabilities of the Ford-class aircraft carrier battle group. After all, among all the aircraft carriers in the United States, this latest Ford class is the only one that has not been baptized by war.

Of course, no matter what the Americans thought, after seeing the American soldiers landing, someone who was originally full of confidence could not sit still this time...
