"That's amazing!" Just when Germany and Japan were fighting in a pot of porridge, a 4,000-ton second-class cruiser secretly approached the battlefield, and then 8 kilometers away to observe the first duel between steam warships in decades! U.S. Navy Commodore Dewey saw the whole process of the USS Mainz armored cruiser on board the San Francisco!

A Japanese cruiser of the second rank held out for less than half an hour under the furious fire of Mainz! After weighing his own ship, Commodore Dewey thought that if he were replaced by himself, he would probably not be much better than the Japanese, and among the entire US Navy cruisers, I am afraid that the newly commissioned New York may fight with it, right?

"Your Excellency, Commander, a signal has been sent from the German warship asking us for our purpose." Inadvertently, the American cruiser was already getting closer, touching the sensitive nerves of the Germans who had just fought a big war.

"Uh, this?" Dewey was also a little dizzy. There is no friendship between the two sides, or there is still conflict in some aspects, and it is really a bit boring for me to be so close at this time.

"Signal, we understand the position of the German fleet, and ask again, is there anything that needs help." The first half of Dewey's sentence is entertainment, and the second half of his sentence is etiquette. But alas, the prince on the other side is a real person! I actually took this back word seriously!

"Our fleet is about to go to war immediately, can your navy send some of our personnel to Tianjin?" Moments later, Prince Ruprecht signaled. It's obviously inconvenient for me to go back, and there happens to be an American warship nearby, so let them help send it, the price is negotiable!

"I'll go, I'll just talk!" Dewey was immediately dumbfounded. And while the Americans were struggling with whether to help with this, the traverser was glaring at Herbert, who was wrapped in a bandage on his head!

"Do as I say! You take the guards and the German captain, and the Japanese prisoners to Tianjin immediately! and domestic contacts. And in the report, the following points are emphasized: first, it was the Japanese who attacked our merchant ships without declaring war! They have brutally trampled on international law! Second, it was the Japanese fleet that fired first, and we just counterattacked and defended ourselves! ”

"Thirdly, immediately let the country arrange follow-up supply ships and fleets to rush to the Far East, and fourth, contact the Russian ambassador to the Qing State and ask them to cooperate with our actions! At the same time, it is enough to inform the British. This process should be at the end, just a courtesy greeting. ”

"I shouldn't take care of this third point, I'm just a diplomat!" Herbert muttered quietly!

"But your dad is the prime minister! He was influential in the army and could convince the Kaiser! If it weren't for the fact that your dad was the prime minister, you would have taken full responsibility for this mishap! See for yourself! "The meaning of the traverser is very clear, do as I say immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences! Almost everyone here is willing to let Herbert take the blame! Who told you to talk so much just now!

"And one more, the Japanese shot and killed the Qing soldiers who fell into the water!" Said the traverser.

"Is this true?" Herbert said incredulously.

"Definitely, that's what the Japanese did." The traverser said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"Okay, okay, I see. The Japanese are heinous, and they deserve hell. But there's no more boats here! I can't go back! Herbert's face turned pale.

"Did you see that American warship? You go back on that ship! The prince said, pointing to the American warship in the distance. And after more than ten minutes, Dewey decided that no matter what, he would contact him first!

The Mainz was hung with the flag of the admiral, and the other party was a brigadier general, so naturally the Americans came up to visit, and now Dewey can barely be regarded as equal, so Dewey came over in a small boat! And 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 commander of the gun, they are all dead? No way? Mainz is obviously a stable opponent, right?

"Sorry, Your Excellency, General, the Japanese attacked us by extremely despicable means, and most of our commanders were on the bridge at that time. Including the captain of the ship and the chief of staff of the fleet, "Hipper, who was in charge of greeting him, felt ashamed!" More than half of the casualties on his own ship were caused in this way.

"And who commanded this battle?" Dewey felt a little unbelievable, after a warship had lost most of its top command, it really needed to be like this.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Bavaria, Honorary Admiral of the Imperial Navy." Hipper replied.

"Honorable, I know that. It turns out that the flag on this battleship is his! Dewey understood, but when he turned around, he didn't understand, "Does His Royal Highness the prince still understand the navy?" "It's just reputation, you can't take it seriously!

"It's honorable, but it's really what he commanded! There is no doubt about that. Hipper replied.

"This. It's a bit unexpected! Dewey was now more and more curious about what kind of man had won the battle.

Soon, His Royal Highness the Prince, who had finished explaining the matter, received the American fleet in the surviving officers' dining room, and after Dewey congratulated His Royal Highness on winning a naval battle, the traveler immediately expressed his gratitude to the American fleet for its help! And may the friendship between virtue and virtue be further after this incident.

"This matter has decided not to get you into trouble, just escort our personnel and witnesses, it is a virtue to rescue each other at sea, the steamship Huasheng has been badly damaged, and the personnel on it need to be transferred to your ship. And as a thank you for your help, it will be your reward. "The traverser delivered a check worth 200,000 marks to the other party.

"With this cheque, you can exchange £10,000 worth of currencies at any international bank. And you will reap the friendship of the German Empire. Herbert said.

"This seems like a good deal!" Dewey was originally going to Tianjin, but this was just a way, and he would not be exposed to any political risks, and he could make 10,000 pounds for nothing! Where to find the good things that fall from the sky? And, as the prince said, mutual rescue at sea is customary, and when Germany and the United States almost started in Samoa, they finally helped each other because of the weather. That's not a big deal!

"Also, I would like you to describe the battle from an objective standpoint, for example, why we started with such huge losses." The traverser said as if all the points were pointed.

"Oh, I see, your battleship was caught off guard, and most of the senior officers were killed or wounded. I'll tell the story in fairness. Dewey was able to get to this point, and his comprehension ability was also very strong, and he instantly figured out the reason.

"This is my personal friendship! If not, I will be visiting the United States of America. Maybe we'll meet. "The traverser took out a cheque again, and the £10,000 went out again! The testimony of bystanders is quite important! Maybe Dewey crucified the Japanese with a word!

"Personal friendship, huh? Isn't that too much? "£10,000! $45,000! The first one was for the U.S. government, and after receiving it, Dewey felt a little hot!

"Friendship only!" The traveler gave Dewey the Bavarian family crest he had with him. "You've done me a great favor, even if you don't have a check, it works just as well!"

"You're so kind!" Dewey hesitated for a moment, but accepted the badge and declined the check.
