Even the lieutenant general was considering whether to throw away some flammable and explosive items, and pull out the soldiers' canvas hammocks and tie them to the Cambridge to protect them from debris. But then I thought about it, this is a bit too much, it's like two people who don't look at each other and don't look at each other meet, not necessarily fighting, but when one person finds that the other person has an iron bar in his hand and has his sleeves rolled up, then the move is simply certain.

In other words, to put it more professionally, it is to avoid irritating your opponent. So Lieutenant General Pierre, after weighing it, decided how to go, even if the Germans occupied the port first and landed in a different place himself. As for what to do if the army really misfires with the Germans, that's the army's business, and it has nothing to do with itself anyway! Well, that's it!

"A pillar of smoke was found in the northwest, it should be a fleet!" The sentinels on the triangular mast of the Marquis Bismarck saw columns of smoke rising in the distance, and the smoke from the chimney formed a thick black cloud over the entire fleet. Even when they were more than 20 kilometers apart, the German sentinels could still see each other clearly. And as the distance gradually narrowed, the unique inward hull of the French battleship and the superstructure like a five-star hotel were also imprinted in Hipper's eyes!

"There are three of them." Hippert carefully looked at the battleship in his field of vision, and the first one with twin main guns in front of him should be the newly commissioned battleship Charlemagne, the French. The second gun layout close to the Munich-class armored cruiser should be the large protective cruiser Lane Ryder, which was newly commissioned by the French, and the third was not clear under the cover of the smoke screen, but it should be a second-class cruiser in appearance.

"Give a signal to the transports to intensify their landing along the opened waterways, signal the Hamburg, we are ready to block the French fleet!" Moments later, Hippert gave the order.

After the German government declared war with Portugal, it also demarcated the war zone, and also asked other countries to avoid it, but if you say this, it does not mean that others should do this. And if the French really came, the Germans couldn't start fighting without saying a word, right? So the two sides played a game of eagle and chicken outside Cabinda, the French wanted to find a suitable landing point, and the Germans were outside.

However, what made Hipper a little depressed was that the French had many ships! Vice Admiral Pierre went around in circles with his own fleet and Hipper's armored cruiser Marquis Bismarck, while another convoy went around the German fleet towards the coast. In desperation, Hipper had no choice but to let the cruiser Hamburg intercept the French convoy.

WELL, ALTHOUGH HIPPER IS STILL VERY CONFIDENT IN THE 8 254MM HEAVY GUNS ON HIS FLAGSHIP, BUT A DOZEN THREE! It's okay if you don't do it, but who knows what the situation is? Although Hipper had also participated in the Battle of Toshima, at this moment, the French seemed to deliberately distract the German forces, and the convoy was getting farther and farther away, and the Hamburg was getting farther and farther away from the Marquis Bismarck.

"Tell the French fleet that this is a war zone and ask them what they are coming for." To say that he is not nervous is a lie, at this time Hipper is facing 3 French warships, although in terms of the quality of officers and soldiers, the French may not be stronger than the Japanese, but the people are a big country, and the confrontation between the big powers is no trivial matter.

"The French fleet said that this was Portuguese waters, and that they had been invited by the Kingdom of Portugal to come here, and that we should exercise restraint and evacuate from the port." Soon the French replied.

"Joke!" Hipper clenched his already sweaty hand. "Prepare for battle, all personnel leave the ship, the main guns are aimed at the French No. 2 ship!" WITH THE ORDER, THE MARQUIS BISMARCK'S FOUR TWIN 254MM GUNS BEGAN TO TURN AND AIMED AT THE APPROACHING FRENCH FLEET.

"All artillery aimed at the German ship!" Lieutenant General Pierre ordered. At this time, everyone compares a momentum, if 3 French battleships are cowardly in the face of 1 German battleship, then the French will be embarrassed and thrown to grandma's house!

In this situation where both sides are holding their breath and not giving an inch, as the distance is getting closer and closer, the nerves of the German and French naval officers and men have been tensed to the limit, but the two sides are still rational enough, although they have almost put their guns on each other's heads, but there are no shells in the artillery of both sides. Whether it's Hippert or Pierre, they're afraid of misfire!

On the other hand, Scheer, who commanded the Hamburg to block the French convoy, was also a little entangled, according to the order, if the French transport ship was to land forcibly, then Scheer could be forcibly detained, but if the other party was just going around in circles outside, Scheer could not be detained. Especially when there is also a French fleet in the distance.

The France on the other side seemed to know this, so they were even more fearless, and just when Scheer was worried about what to do, the French suddenly moved! The 3 transport ships suddenly disbanded the formation and headed in three directions!

"it!" Scheer's eyes straightened for a moment! "Something is going to happen!" Now Scheer was not worried about whether he could stop the French transports, but because he found that two of the three transports were traveling in the same direction as the minefields laid by the Portuguese.

"Immediately send a signal to tell the French that there is a minefield ahead!" Scheer can't care about anything now, preventing the French from entering the minefield and avoiding the situation getting out of control is the most important thing! Not to mention that the French fleet seems to have the upper hand on the surface, as long as the two sides move, then the situation is likely to evolve into a full-scale confrontation, although Germany is not afraid of France, but it does not want to fight with the French for two colonies! Cost issues!

Scheer thinks very well, I told you there are mines, can you take a step back? But could the French have listened to the Germans? Especially in this case! The French thought that the Germans were scaring him, and the shore was indeed more suitable for landing, so the two French transports not only did not leave, but accelerated their sailing!

"Report Colonel Hipperer immediately! Tell him that the French transport ship is entering the minefield and beware of a change! A bead of sweat the size of a bean ticked down Scheer's hair.

Before the radio transmitter on the Hamburg could send the telegram, a sudden loud noise in the distance sent the whole thing in an unpredictable direction! A French transport ship encountered a mine, up to 70 kilograms of picric acid explosives instantly tore the bottom of the transport ship, and even blew the entire hull into two ends, in less than 2 minutes, the transport ship sank to the bottom of the sea with 400 French army soldiers and more than 100 sailors.
