"It's so beautiful!" Betty, who saw the German new armored cruiser at close range for the first time, gave a sincere admiration. The layout of the four double-mounted 10-inch heavy artillery is simply amazing! In terms of size, it is much stronger than those warships of the British Empire! And in terms of combat effectiveness, it will be several streets away from the British cruiser! They almost destroyed a battleship! Is this TM still a cruiser?

"I see a new threat from the Royal Navy brewing in the center of the European continent. It is stronger and more deadly than the enemies they once did! They have the most advanced warships, excellent officers, and a strong industrial foundation. The old empire has encountered a newly emerging empire, and the collision between the two sides will happen sooner or later!"

Betty has real ability to become a marshal. He almost realized the threat of Germany at the first time. If Germany may only be able to hover between the third and fourth in terms of fleet size, then in terms of combat effectiveness, Betty believes that neither Russia nor France are the opponents of the current German fleet!

As the saying goes, the situation is better than that of people. The British now cannot even clean up their backyards, so they naturally have no interest in causing other troubles. No matter how arrogant Betty is, he has no idea to start a war without authorization. Especially after seeing three huge figures in the distance, Betty became decisive and honest. He took his warship to cruise around the cordon demarcated by the Germans.

However, since we are here, even in order to find out the news, Betty needs to contact the Germans. After a brief communication, Betty and his party were allowed to board the armored cruiser of the Bismarck Marquis to discuss some matters. For example, in order to avoid accidental fire, the two sides should stay and those precautions need to be taken. At the end of the talks, Betty began to ask what happened, causing the French fleet to fail!

"The French transport ship hit the Portuguese mines, and then the nervous French fleet launched the attack first. An hour later, their warships became like this." Hippel pointed to the wreckage of the French warship outside the porthole and said.

"One hour..." Betty's face twitched slightly. The news was a little unexpected. Of course, what was even more unexpected was that the two of them would fight in the vast North Sea in more than ten years, and the battle between the two sides almost lasted the entire war!

"Now all French naval officers and soldiers are our prisoners. If your country does not want to cause unnecessary trouble, I hope you can leave here with your warship, at least not within our warning area." Hippel finally emphasized. And just as the two sides were talking, the smoke pillar that appeared from the southwest sea told everyone that new guests were coming!

"It's the American fleet!" When Betty watched two American battleships escorting a team of transport ships safely into the port controlled by the Germans, Betty's pupils shrank suddenly. The situation in front of him was very clear. The Americans and the Germans reached a tacit understanding before the war started! In such extreme situations, the Americans dared to do so too much, which fully demonstrated that there was an "aggression" between the two!

"The French are in big trouble this time!" Betty said in his heart. It is not France who can deal with it simply by pulling it out. Germany has two helpers, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy, and now it has pulled the Americans. Although the latter is not so firm, it at least makes France isolated unprecedentedly in this diplomatic incident. When he thought of this, Betty thought it was necessary to report this matter to the local area immediately, so he said goodbye immediately.

On the other hand, when the Americans saw the Germans' "masterpiece" they were also shocked! The Americans had never thought that both sides would actually take action before they arrived, and they did not expect that the Germans would deal with a French squadron so easily and happily.

"God! What's going on?" Looking at the cruiser Ryan Ryder whose entire hull had been burned into skeletons, Majiphin was in a bad mood. This thing is probably equivalent to the New York in the United States, and the other party actually let the other party clean up!

"Your country has a powerful fleet, but this sword is too sharp." When meeting Earl Spee, Majiphin expressed his concerns in a very obscure way. The United States agreed to help Germany, but was absolutely not prepared to fight with other powerful countries with Germany......

"It's all an accident." Earl Spey explained the whole process roughly to Majiphin. "If there was no external force intervention, the French would have chosen to stop. After all, this is not a glorious thing, whether it is the cause or the result."

"If there is a greater conflict between your country and France, we may not be able to help. After all, the United States of America does not want to be involved in a war. And your country also needs to consider the ideas of other countries, such as that island country." Majiphin said.

"The French are not afraid of mere French. We have countless ways to force the French to surrender. As for the British, they can send a statement and threaten them, but they agree that they will not be hostile to France and us. The British cannot even handle their own families. How can they have any experience of a strong country?

"Although I am a navy, I still want to say that if we really plan to solve the problem, we don't even have to use the fleet, but the army can solve the problem! Although the British Royal Navy is powerful, they cannot land! As for the British army..." Earl Spee made an expression that everyone understands. Compared with the navy, the performance of the British army in South Africa can be described as infamous!

The talks between the two sides ended soon, and the Germans were busy receiving supplies, and Majiphin, who was shocked by the incident in front of him, had to report the situation to the United States as soon as possible. So two days later, both Americans and British people knew about the firefighting incident in Africa - the German fleet easily kosked the French with 2 to 3!

Around this matter, a group of great powers with ideas moved. On the one hand, they were surprised that the unknown German fleet would have such a powerful force, and on the other hand, they felt deeply uneasy! They realized that a newly rising power was preparing to change the current world pattern!

"We didn't expect that a simple trade dispute between Germany and Portugal would lead to such consequences, or that the new powers would eventually fight against the old empire? I can't explain it clearly, but from this incident, I realized that the biggest challenge of the British Empire had arrived" - Churchill.
