I think it will only be a temporary occupation, otherwise they will learn the hard way; what a bad idea it is. As for Mexico, I think they only took over the disputed territories between Mexico and Amerathia
Clay turned to General Graves. "Prepare the occupation forces. Gran Colombia is ours now."

I wonder if someone will launch a coup to depose him and then surrender to Amerathia
Still, he refused to surrender.

That is simply his stubborn pride talking. He just doesn't want to lose face by surrendering
Velásquez's jaw tightened. "They already are." He looked around the room. "Do you all believe Amerathia will stop after Panama? Do you think they will stop once they've shattered our economy and burned our cities? No. They will not stop until we are broken beyond repair."

It would be a one-sided slaughter instead of a fight
Velásquez's expression darkened. He refused to accept defeat. His country would not fall without a fight.

Though Future historians both Amerathian and foreign would criticise that the retaliation he ordered was too much
And he was determined to ensure that future, no matter the cost.

If this guy was smart, he wouldn't have let matters escalate to this point. Instead he would have recognised how beneficial the Panama Canal Project would be for his republic
Velásquez's anger simmered, but he nodded slowly. "You're right. We cannot fight this war alone. Ortega, send urgent messages to our ambassadors in Europe. Emphasize the Amerathian aggression and the destruction of our capital. Make them see that this is not just our fight, but a battle against imperialist tyranny."

Perhaps he is talking about how their artillery cannot shoot down the bombers from the air
General Ibarra stepped forward again, his expression grim. "Mr. President, our current military capabilities are no match for those bombers. Our anti-air defenses are outdated, and we lack the resources to develop countermeasures quickly. We must secure support from our allies. Spain, France, even Britain—if we can rally them to our side, we might stand a chance."

And how will you counterattack. Typical case of pride over practicality
Velásquez clenched his fists, his knuckles white. "And if we do nothing, they'll see us as weak. This is not just about Bogotá—this is about the survival of Gran Colombia. We cannot allow Amerathia to dictate the terms of this war."

There are three possibilities: 1. They only looked at the overall scenario of the Sino-Japanese War and didn't analyse it in depth. 2. Their administration is very complacent as they haven't made any efforts to modernize 3. Plot Hole
Velásquez slammed his hand onto the remains of the desk, his anger finally breaking through. "Flying steel. Machines that rained fire and death upon our city. How could we not have known about this? How could our intelligence have failed so spectacularly?"

The People of Gran Colombia may begin to develop an Anti-Amerathian attitude especially for the ones who lost their loved ones. Of course, they will also blame President Velasquez for not surrendering early and preventing the massive scale of damage
