Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 881 South America(8)
General Saldivar found a few confidants to pack up some gold and silver treasures, and together with the American ambassador, left Havana by boat for the United States.
But the Americans did not tell them about the presence of German submarines in the Gulf of Mexico, and they were on board Cuba's largest destroyer. They also had a "guilty conscience" and did not dare to hang a flag on the ship. As a result, they ended up in waters less than 100 kilometers away from the Port of Miami. Targeted by a German submarine, two torpedoes directly blew the destroyer into two pieces. The people on the ship did not even have time to dive, and the two pieces of the ship sank to the bottom of the sea.
The country's top leader was nowhere to be found, and Cuba's top leaders were in chaos.
The German fleet has already sailed into Guantanamo Bay and issued a surrender notice to the US troops stationed in Guantanamo.
Naturally, the US military was unwilling to surrender easily, and the German army did not waste any time and immediately launched an attack.
Attack aircraft taking off from the aircraft carrier first sank all several old destroyers in the port, and then attacked the US military base in Guantanamo. The terrible napalm bombs were dropped as if they were free, and the US military base was suddenly plunged into a sea of flames.
Until the German army wiped out the remnants of the US military in Guantánamo, Cuba's top brass was still in a state of chaos. The German army was too lazy to pay attention to them, and the fleet sailed non-stop to the next target.
Although the United States occupied the Bahamas, it had almost no troops stationed there. Seeing the menacing German fleet, the residents of the port city quickly took down the American flag. But then they ran into trouble again. They originally planned to put back the British flag, but the German fleet came, and it seemed inappropriate to hang the British flag, and they didn't prepare the German flag.
However, the German army did not care about this and began to build a military base on one of the islands.
Original Time and Space After World War II, the United States established a large number of military bases around the world. By the time of President Kennedy in the 1960s, it reached its climax, with more than 1,000 large bases alone. After the end of the Cold War, the number of U.S. overseas military bases decreased significantly. The United States has military bases in 140 countries around the world, with a total of 374 overseas military bases, 300,000 troops stationed, and an annual cost of more than 100 billion US dollars.
As for why the United States spends huge sums of money to maintain so many overseas military bases? There are multiple reasons for this, such as protecting allies; after World War II, many countries faced threats from the Soviet Union and needed the protection of the US military. The presence of U.S. troops ensured their safety. Of course, it sounds like protection, but in fact it is to control allies. For many small countries, it is not known whether the Soviet army will come or when it will attack, but the US military is already on the mainland. Once a country has foreign troops stationed in it, it is difficult to maintain its independence. It is by relying on the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" that the US military has successfully entered more than 100 countries and prevented more than 100 countries from being completely independent.
Moreover, countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom in Europe and island countries in Asia have strong industrialized economies. If they are not controlled, they may one day become enemies of the United States again. The presence of US troops can ensure that they will always be allies. With more allies, there will be fewer enemies.
With such a ready-made teacher, Yannick will naturally not waste it and deploy military bases wherever he goes.
At this time, in the Atlantic Ocean, another fleet also arrived at the Bermuda Islands. Around 1503, Spanish (some say Portuguese) explorer Juan Bermuda first discovered this place. In 1609, the British landed on this island. In 1684, Bermuda officially became a British colony.
In the age of navigation without airplanes, it was impossible to cross the uncertain Atlantic Ocean from Europe to North America without an island in between, and supplies could not keep up. The Bermuda Islands are located between Europe and North America (closer to North America), so they have become a strategic location for the United Kingdom. As long as Britain controlled Bermuda, it could exert influence over North America. From the outbreak of the European war to the fall of Britain, the troops stationed on the island were not withdrawn. Even though Latin American countries were attracted by the United States, the Bermuda Islands were still firmly in the hands of the British army.
In later generations, the Bermuda Triangle became a hotly discussed topic among many people, but the discussion was not about its military importance, but about the mysterious and mysterious "Devil's Triangle" incident that was rumored.
The so-called "Triangle" refers to a triangle in the Western Atlantic Ocean formed by the three-point connection of Bermuda, Miami in the United States, and San Juan in Puerto Rico; as for the "Devil", it is said that mysterious disappearances and mysterious disappearances have occurred repeatedly in this mysterious sea area. In shipwrecks, countless cargo ships, warships, submarines, aircraft, etc. that passed through here all mysteriously disappeared. In some cases, even the wreckage and corpses could not be found, as if the people and the ship had evaporated.
Some cases are even more mysterious. It is said that planes and ships that have been missing for decades suddenly appear again, and the passengers on them have not aged at all. Others said that when flying over this sea area, the watch on the pilot's body seemed to have traveled through time and space, running several hours slower than elsewhere.
Although there are many supernatural stories that happen in the "Devil's Triangle", the structures of the stories are all similar. Most of them are about cases of certain types of vehicles disappearing for no apparent reason after arriving in the area. At first glance, the "Devil's Triangle" seems to be really evil, and it has instilled in people the idea that the "Devil's Triangle" is very dangerous, and the disappearance of vehicles goes against common sense in life and cannot be explained by science.
Many various theories and hypotheses have even been born for this reason, trying to support and explain these mysterious phenomena. For example, "infrasonic vibration theory", "Haiti water bridge theory", "natural gas hydrate theory", "pyramid magnetic field theory", "magnetic declination anomaly theory", etc., all have their own schools and try to justify themselves.
But the funny thing is that these are just false rumors.
The name "Devil's Triangle" comes from a journalist named Edward Van Winkle Jones who wrote a story about the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle for the Associated Press in the 1950s. The story deliberately exaggerated the Bermuda Triangle. It became a mysterious area where a large number of ships and aircraft disappeared. Later, in the 1970s, The Bermuda Triangle became the best-selling book in the world.
After that, many writers saw the business opportunities and published many books related to the Bermuda Triangle, making a lot of money. Among them, the most famous is Bayliss. His "Bermuda Triangle" published in 1974 sold 5 million copies, making the world aware of the existence of the Bermuda Triangle.
But the next year, Larry Cush published a book specifically against Bayliss, "The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle - Solved," detailing the causes and findings of each accident. Bayliss later admitted that he had lied and fabricated the truth.
And in the Internet age of later generations, if you go online and check the real-time tracking maps of planes and ships around the world, you will find that the ships and planes passing through this "Devil's Delta" can be described as densely packed, and they do not deliberately go around the "Devil's Delta" Let’s go. Facts speak louder than words.
