"It's beautiful!" Betty, who saw the new German armored cruiser for the first time at close range, let out a heartfelt admiration, the layout of the 4 twin 10-inch guns is simply amazing! In terms of forcing Ge to be much stronger than those battleships of the British Empire! And if it is about combat effectiveness, it is even more than a few streets away from the British cruisers! They almost destroyed a battleship! Is this TM still a cruiser?

"I see that a new threat to the Royal Navy is brewing in the heart of the continent, stronger and deadlier than the enemy it once was! With state-of-the-art warships, excellent officers, and a strong industrial base, an old empire meets a new one, and sooner or later a collision between the two sides is bound to happen! ”

Betty also has real skills to be a field marshal, he almost immediately realized the threat of Germany, if in terms of fleet size, Germany may only hover between the third and fourth, then in terms of combat effectiveness, Betty believes that neither Russia nor France is the opponent of the current German fleet!

As the saying goes, the situation is stronger than people, and the British are now unable to clean up their own backyards, so naturally they have no interest in finding other troubles, and Betty is arrogant, and she has no idea of provoking a war without authorization. Especially after seeing three huge figures in the distance, Betty was decisively honest. With his own battleships, he cruised around the perimeter of the cordon drawn by the Germans.

However, since she came, Betty needed to make contact with the Germans, even for the sake of information, and after a short correspondence, Betty and his party were allowed to board the armored cruiser Marquis Bismarck in order to discuss some matters. For example, where should both sides stay in order to avoid misfire, and what precautions need to be taken. And at the end of the meeting, Betty began to ask what had happened, and the French fleet was crushed!

"The French transport ship ran into a Portuguese mine, and then the nervous French fleet was the first to attack, and an hour later their battleship became like this." Hipper said, pointing to the wreckage of the French battleship outside the porthole.

"One hour." Betty's face twitched slightly, this news was somewhat unexpected by him, of course, what was even more unexpected was that the two would fight each other in the vast North Sea after more than ten years, and the battle between the two sides lasted almost the entire war!

"Now all the officers and men of the French Navy are our prisoners, and if your country does not want to cause some unnecessary trouble, then I hope you will leave here with your warship, at least not within our warning zone." Hipper's final emphasis. And just as the two sides were talking, a column of smoke appeared from the southwest sea to tell everyone that there was a new guest coming!

"It's the American fleet!" When Betty watched two American battleships escorting a convoy of transport ships safely into the German-controlled port, Betty's pupils shrank sharply, and the situation in front of her was very clear that the Americans and the Germans had reached some kind of tacit understanding before the war! In such an extreme situation, the Americans dare to do so much, which fully shows that there is an "adulterous relationship" between the two!

"The French are in big trouble this time!" Betty said in her heart that a single Germany pulled out was not something that France could deal with, and Germany also had Austria-Hungary and Italy, two helpers, and now it had pulled the Americans together, although the latter was not so determined, but at least France was unprecedentedly isolated in this diplomatic incident. Thinking of this, Betty decided that it was necessary for her to report the matter to her homeland immediately, so she immediately took her leave.

And on the other hand, the Americans were also stunned when they saw the German "masterpiece"! The Americans did not think that the two sides would actually make a move before they arrived, let alone that the Germans would solve a French detachment so easily and happily.

"Oh God! What's going on here? "Looking at the cruiser Ryan Ryder, whose entire hull has been burned to a skeleton, Ma Jifen's whole person is not good, this thing is probably equivalent to the New York in the United States, and he actually let the other party clean it up!

"You have a powerful fleet, but this sword is too sharp." When meeting with Count Spee, Magiffen expressed his concern in a very subtle way, that the United States had agreed to help Germany, but was absolutely not ready to fight with Germany against other powers.

"It was all an accident." Count Spee gave Magiffen a rough explanation of the whole process. "If there is no external force to intervene, the French will choose to fall silent, after all, it is not a glorious thing, whether it is the cause or the effect."

"If there is a greater conflict between your country and France, I am afraid we will not be able to help it. After all, the current United States of America does not want to be involved in a war. And you also need to think about what other countries think, for example, the island nation. Magiffen said.

"The simple French are not to be feared, we have countless ways to force the French to submit, as for the British, it is okay for them to issue a statement and threaten, but they agree that they will not be hostile to us for France, the British can't even handle their own home, how can they have the experience of wrestling with a strong country?"

"Although I am a navy, I still have to say that if we really want to solve the problem, we can solve the problem without even using the fleet, with the army! And although the British Royal Navy is strong, they can't land! As for the army of the British. Count Spee made a look that everyone understood. Compared to the navy, the performance of the British army in South Africa can be described as infamous!

The talks between the two sides ended quickly, the Germans were busy receiving supplies, and Magiffin, who was shocked by the incident, had to report the situation to the United States as soon as possible. So two days later, both the Americans and the British knew about the firefight that took place in Africa - the German fleet easily knocked out the French with 2 to 3!

Around this incident, a group of thoughtful powers moved, on the one hand, they were surprised that the German fleet, which had always been unknown, could have such a powerful force, and on the other hand, they also felt deeply uneasy! They realize that a new rising power is poised to change the current world landscape!

"We did not expect that a simple trade dispute between Germany and Portugal would lead to such an outcome, or that the new power would end up in a contest with the old empire? I can't tell, but from this incident I have realized that the greatest challenge of the British Empire has come" - Churchill.
