Chương 780: Chapter 582: Launch of the R108 Battleship_1

The Civil War in El Salvador was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, directly prompting the American people to start condemning the government and erupting in Protests demanding that the government promptly use military force to recover these regions.

In particular, the Panama Canal, which concerns the interests of all American People and the convenience of east-west traffic along the American Coastline.

The significance of the Panama Canal to the United States is no less than that of the Malacca Strait to East Asia and the Suez Canal to Mediterranean countries.

With the Panama Canal, Americans only need to navigate around Central America to freely traverse the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.

But if they lost the Panama Canal, or even if it fell into the hands of America's enemies and competitors, Americans traveling between the east and west coasts would have to go around an entire South America.
