Chapter 66： Americans are coming (1/2)
”It's amazing!” Just when the German and Japanese sides were fighting together, a 4000-ton second-class cruiser sneaked close to the battlefield, and then watched the first steam battleship that broke out in decades from 8 kilometers away. Showdown between! U.S. Commodore Dewey saw the entire process of the battle of the Armored Cruiser Mainz on the San Francisco!
A Japanese second-class cruiser lasted less than half an hour under the violent firepower of Mainz! After weighing his own ship, Brigadier General Dewey thought that if he were to be replaced by himself, I am afraid that he would not be better than the Japanese. Of the entire US Navy cruisers, I am afraid that New York, which is in new service, might be fighting one of them, right?
”Your Excellency Commander, the German warship sent a signal asking us where we came.” Inadvertently, the American cruiser had gotten closer, which touched the sensitive nerves of the Germans who had just been fighting.
”Uh, this?” Dewey was also a little hazy. There is no friendship between the United States and Germany, or there are still conflicts in some aspects. It is indeed boring to be so close at this time.
”Send a signal, we understand the position of the German fleet, and ask again, do you need help.” The first half of Dewey's sentence is entertainment, and the second half is courtesy. But no matter what, the prince opposite is a real person! Actually take the following words seriously!
”My fleet is about to be on the battlefield immediately, can your navy send some of our personnel to Tianjin?” After a while, Prince Ruprecht signaled. Obviously it is inconvenient for myself to go back. There is an American warship nearby, so let them send it to me. The price is good to discuss!
”I'll go, I just talk!” Dewey was immediately dumbfounded. And when the Americans struggled whether to help or not, the prince was staring at Herbert with a bandage on his head!
”Follow what I said! You take the guard, the German captain, and the Japanese captives to Tianjin immediately! Contact the country. In the report, the following points are highlighted. First, it is the Japanese. Attacked our merchant ships without declaring war! They brutally trampled on international law! Secondly, the Japanese fleet fired the guns first. We just counterattacked and defended ourselves!”
”Third, immediately let the domestic arrangement of follow-up supply ships and fleets to the Far East, and fourth, contact the Russian ambassador to the Qing Dynasty, and let them cooperate with our actions! At the same time, just inform the British. This process must be at the end. It's just a courtesy greeting.”
”I shouldn't care about this third point, I'm just a diplomat!” Herbert whispered!
”But your dad is the prime minister! He has influence on the army and can convince the Kaiser! If your dad is not the prime minister, you will bear all the responsibility for the mistakes in the war! You can figure it out!” The prince's meaning is very clear, immediately do as I said, otherwise at your own risk! Almost everyone here is willing to let Herbert take the blame! Who made you talk more!
”There is one more thing, the Japanese shot the Qing soldiers who fell into the water!” the prince said.
”Is this true?” Herbert said incredulously.
”Sure, the Japanese did it like this.” The prince said with a bit of hatred for iron and steel.
”Well, well, I understand. The Japanese are heinous, they should go to hell. But there is no ship here! I can't go back!” Herbert's face was pale.
”Have you seen that American warship! You go back on that ship!” The prince pointed to the American warship in the distance and said. After more than ten minutes, Dewey decided no matter what, he would talk about it first!
Mainz was hung with the general's flag, and the other party was the brigadier general. Naturally, the Americans came up to visit, and now Dewey was barely equal, so Dewey came over in a small boat! But as soon as he came up, he found that something was wrong. How could he be greeted by a captain? What about the others? From the captain to the gunner are all dead? No way? Mainz is clearly a competitor of regulators, right?
