"General, what should we do now? The main force of the Germany people is here. The Germany Light Cruiser that injured us also escaped back."
"Asshole! Let the Germany people hand over the Light Cruiser that deliberately hit us. Their behavior was completely a provocation to Republic of America. The captain of the Light Cruiser must be handed over to us for trial!" Admiral Fletcher ordered with a black face.
The flagship was damaged, which was a slap in the face for American Navy and even US government. If there is no expression at all, where does this put their face?
"Yes, General." The staff officer nodded and immediately went to send Telegram. However, he didn't think Germany people would comply. From the fact that Germany people dared to directly hit their flagship just now, you can see how arrogant and arrogant German Navy is.
However, Admiral Fletcher had already given the order, so he had no choice but to obey.
On German Navy raiding fleet's flagship 'Mackensen' number Battlecruiser, Vice Admiral Spee was in a very good mood. Although, the fleets of both sides are still facing each other. But no matter what, German Navy obviously has the advantage.
"General, Lieutenant General Erich Raeder requested to return. When they hit Americans's flagship, they suffered considerable losses and need to return to the country for repairs." The staff officer reported to Vice Admiral Spee.
"Well, allow them to return. In addition, send a destroyer to follow them back." Vice Admiral Spee ordered. This is naturally done to prevent Americans from making any small moves.
"Yes, General."
"General, Americans claimed that our "Königsberg" number Light Cruiser hit their flagship without reason, and asked us to apologize to them and "Königsberg' Light Cruiser and Captain Erich Raeder are at their disposal!" Communications Officer reported to Vice Admiral Spee.
"Absurd! Tell Americans that they are trying to break into our Prohibited Navigation Zone. This is a provocation to the German Empire. The behavior of the 'Königsberg' Light Cruiser is to protect the interests of the German Empire. It is absolutely impossible for us to hand over the 'Königsberg' Light Cruiser and Captain Erich Raeder to them." Vice Admiral Spee said.
"Yes, general." Communications Officer immediately went to send Telegram.
German Navy's tough reply made Admiral Fletcher furious. However, other than cursing a few words and venting his anger, he had no other option. Who puts them at a complete disadvantage now? If further drastic actions are taken, it will intensify the conflict and even lead to a misfire. And this is exactly what United States is trying to avoid.
The fleets of both sides were separated by more than ten kilometers and passed Telegram. They came and went to accuse each other and beat War of Words. However, they strictly restrained the troops to avoid provocations that would escalate the conflict. Obviously, both parties do not want the situation to escalate further. Whether it is Americans who suffered the loss or Germany who took advantage, they are unanimous in this regard.
The news that German Navy's 'Königsberg' number Light Cruiser injured American fleet's flagship 'Nevada' number Battleship was also reported to the country separately at the first time.
"Haha! Well done. Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel Erich Raeder, is a complete talent! I think his actions are worthy of recognition. I suggest that he be rewarded and promoted to a more important position!" Oscar laughed.
Of course Oscar knew who Erich Raeder was. He was the marshal of Third Reich, who was in charge of German Navy after the First World War for fifteen years. Of course, in another time and space, the naval strength of Third Reich was not very good, far inferior to the army and air force, so that they did not have many successful results in the war. But gold will always shine. In this time and space, Erich Raeder also showed his talents. Oscar will naturally reuse such talents.
"Well, Your Highness. Lieutenant Colonel Erich Raeder is indeed a rare talent. He has already led the number 'Königsberg' Light Cruiser back. When he returns home, Naval Ministry will reward him and promote him to the rank." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
"How is the situation now? Is Americans still confronting us?" Oscar asked.
"Americans hasn't evacuated yet, and looks like he won't give up."
"Hmph! They are just showing off. If we really want them to launch an attack, I'm afraid they won't have the courage." Oscar snorted coldly, not liking Americans's actions.
"However, Your Highness. US government will definitely protest against us again. Your Excellency Foreign Minister will definitely be busy again." Grand Admiral Count Tirpitz said.
"Haha! In this war, Ministry of Foreign Affairs must find something to do, right? Otherwise, wouldn't they be too busy? As for Americans's protest, don't pay attention to it at all. If the protest is useful, there won't be so many disputes." Oscar couldn't help laughing.
The so-called protest is just that he looks very angry because he is not as strong as others. Isn't the Huaxia of later generations also like that? After being bullied, I always protest. However, that doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Others still bully us. Therefore, it is the last word that freedom itself becomes stronger and prevents others from bullying us. Those weak protests should be avoided a few times!
Indeed, soon United States expressed serious protest to German government on the grounds that German Navy's warship deliberately rammed American fleet's flagship. US Ambassador to Germany, and repeatedly questioned Imperial Foreign Minister von Kidron? Wachth. United States Secretary of State Bryan even summoned German Ambassador to the United States one after another to express US government's attitude.
However, this is of no use at all. Both sides are still blaming and fighting War of Words. It has almost no real effect.
Of course, US government was also very angry that the number 'Nevada' Battleship was injured. When Woodrow? President Wilson learned the news, he smashed one of his favorite coffee cups. In his view, American fleet's actions this time were just a show to deceive the domestic people. If Germany people cooperate, this matter will be over. But who would have expected that the Germany people not only refused to cooperate, but also took the most severe counterattack. This made Woodrow? President Wilson feel that he had been slapped hard.
