"Send a signal to the Germans that we are ready to talk to them about how to deal with the aftermath." Scock ordered.

"Let them come to my flagship to talk, and they can bring no more than 5 retinues." Hipper then looked at the transport boat at the back of the control tower, and then at the Charlemagne, which had been blown up beyond recognition.

"Let's go pick up the French by our transport boat, I guess if they rely on themselves, I'm afraid they will have to swim over!" Hipper's half-serious, half-joking remark caused laughter from the staff. "Okay, okay, be careful, don't irritate our guests, hurry up and get ready."

"This is the ship that defeated Charlemagne!" When Scock boarded the battleship, he deliberately slowed down, the gangway of boarding the ship was a little behind the middle of the battleship, he carefully observed the battleship, although there were some deep or shallow pits on the side of the ship, and there were traces left by the fire in some places, but in general, the battleship did not suffer any fatal damage in the fierce battle just now.

In his opinion, if the consumption of ammunition is not taken into account, the battleship can completely fight again! TWO 254MM HEAVY GUNS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HULL WITH OPPOSITE ARRANGEMENTS ATTRACTED HIS ATTENTION. "With a full 8 second-class guns, it's no wonder that the Germans' battleships projected so strongly." Scock tried to keep in his head what he saw, and he wondered what was causing the defeat of the French fleet!

"Sir, can you be quicker so that the problem can be solved faster and better?" A German officer on the side said very politely, but judging from the tone and actions of the other party, Scock could feel the other party's dissatisfaction and anger, and this kind of behavior of taking the opportunity to spy on the warships of other countries caused great dissatisfaction among the Germans, and for some unnecessary trouble, Skoke accelerated his pace.

"There was an unnecessary conflict between the navies of the two countries because of some mistakes and accidents, and this time, I am here in the hope of resolving the problem by peaceful means. If you can, I would like your country to help the French fleet return to Dakar. Scock explained.

"You don't seem to have grasped the situation yet, because your country's erroneous actions have led to extremely serious consequences, and the French fleet's entry into our pre-demarcated area of engagement would have been a provocation, and the French fleet, now defeated, has slipped away from us by a mistake? It's impossible! Hipper said angrily.

The French thought so well, your first move, the fault is on your side, now you can't beat it, you want to pat your ass and leave? How can there be such a good thing? After I went back, I didn't know what it was like to be publicized by you! Hipper wants to keep these people here as witnesses and hostages!

"You want to detain the French fleet? This is an act of war! Skoke said with a clench in his heart.

"It was already an act of war for the French fleet to fire first, and France also wanted to land in our theater of operations, it was your country that provoked this dispute, and you should take full responsibility!" Hipper said in a stern voice.

"And for you who have already attacked the German fleet, we will never let go, our ceasefire is only out of humanitarianism, if you refuse the kindness of the German Navy, then we don't mind continuing to fight."

"It's just a misunderstanding, and you can't afford the consequences of the expansion of the war." Scock threatened.

"Is it true that the laws of your country stipulate that a party who kills because of a misunderstanding can be killed without consequences? Before coming here, we had received telegrams from our country, resolutely fighting back against all those who dared to challenge the dignity of Germany, and that our actions had been endorsed, so I was not worried about the consequences, I was just a soldier and did what I was told. Hipper didn't flinch.

"You'd better be realistic, Captain, we've caused a de facto engagement, so you can't expect us to let you go, all we've done is to avoid unnecessary casualties, so what you need to do now, and the only thing you can do, is to cooperate with us in transferring personnel. We can let Charlemagne crash or sink itself, and then all French naval and army personnel can be moved to land, but they must surrender their weapons and put them under the care of the Reich. And if you do, then when you return to the Charlemagne, the battle will start again! "Hipper gave an ultimatum.

"Me. I accept! It took five minutes for Scock to squeeze the words out between his teeth, but it was enough for Hipper. The battle is over, and in addition to the aftermath, he needs to immediately prepare for a possible expansion of the conflict.

"How many shells are left in the fleet?" The damage to the battleship is not great, and after simple repairs it can continue to fight, and the most critical thing is the consumption of ammunition. In less than an hour of fighting, the Marquis Bismarck took advantage of the ultra-high rate of fire of the main guns, and at the cost of a very large reduction in the stock of shells.

"We still have about 600 rounds of ammunition left for our 10-inch main guns, and more ammunition for our 6-inch secondary guns, each of which can average more than 80 rounds." Feng. Second Lieutenant Liao Le replied. "However, if nothing else, the ammunition problem can be resolved quickly, because by tomorrow night at the latest, an American convoy will be here to deliver much-needed ammunition and supplies."

"Well, it's not a big problem, the news of the defeat of the French fleet has been transmitted to Dakar by radio in time, then this news will be transmitted to the French mainland and then make a decision, what happens is also 3 days later, tomorrow the fleet can be replenished, within 4 days, the fleet of Count Spee will arrive here, and at that time, 4 German capital ships will gather here, unless the French send their main forces of the Mediterranean or Atlantic fleets here, otherwise, A few French battleships in the Dakar alone are of no use at all!

Of course, while busy with these things, Hipperer did not forget to inform the German top level of the situation here as soon as possible. Such a big matter is not something he can decide, and the next step is whether to stick to it or go directly to Karl to block the French, and Berlin has to make a decision.

At the same time that the Germans were doing this, a French camouflage radio relay ship cruising around the perimeter received a telegram from Charlemagne before the surrender, and then after some twists and turns, the telegram was forwarded to Paris, and this also heralded a new stage in the confrontation between France and Germany!
