At 9 a.m. on December 21, a car with an American flag parked in front of the building of the German Foreign Office. The staff who came and went couldn't help but stop and look at the car. Anyone who works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows that this is a car from the US Embassy.

It is no secret in Germany that the United States captured the Azores, which the Reich had purchased from Portugal. The German government immediately informed the people of this incident, and the behavior of the Americans made the whole German Empire very dissatisfied with it.

And the main force of the German Navy's total annihilation of the US Navy was also reported, which made the people of the Reich cheer.

The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had a smile on their faces when they saw the US ambassador's car coming. They all knew that after the defeat of the American navy, they wanted to sue for peace and end the war. This made the eyes of the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs look at the US ambassador with disdain, and their faces are full of proud applications.

Davidson, the U.S. ambassador to the U.S. country, felt countless eyes staring at him as soon as he stepped out of his car. Of course, he knew the meaning of these gazes. It was precisely because of this that he felt ashamed and angry. As a diplomat, being thick-skinned is a must-have. But at this moment, Ambassador Davidson felt that his cheekiness did not seem to be enough to withstand these stares.

So, Davidson walked briskly into the building of the German Foreign Office and went directly to the office of German Foreign Minister Wahit. Here, it's not the first time he's here, so he's familiar with the road.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, good morning!" Ambassador Davidson had a smile on his face. Although the navies of the two countries had just experienced a major war in the Atlantic and their own navies had suffered a crushing defeat, it is unknown how many U.S. Navy sailors died in the Atlantic. But Davidson acted as if nothing had happened.

"Good morning, Your Excellency, Ambassador!" Vahit smiled. He already knew exactly what Ambassador Davidson was coming for. In this regard, the Emperor Qin Tian has also been consulted.

Qin Tian said that if the Americans want peace talks, they can hold peace talks with them. But Americans will have to pay the price for their actions this time. If the empire can't handle this matter properly, then how can the empire deter other countries in the future? Therefore, this time the empire will inevitably put forward very harsh armistice conditions. Qin Tian estimated that the possibility of the Americans agreeing was very small. He also ordered that the German military operations should continue and not stop.

After some pleasantries, the conversation between the two sides got to the point.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, the United States Government deeply regrets the conflict between our two countries in the Azores. This is a complete misunderstanding. The United States was preparing to make a move against Portugal, completely unaware that the Portuguese had already sold the Azores to Germany. That's why the misunderstanding was caused. We apologize for the damage caused to Germany. Ambassador Davidson said.

Vasit sneered in his heart, these Americans really want to make big things small. This is already completely equivalent to war, but it turns out that they want to misunderstand things with a sentence, which is simply wishful thinking.

"Your Excellency, the German Reich does not consider this a misunderstanding. This is clearly an organized and premeditated invasion of the empire by the United States. The smile on Vahit's face had vanished cleanly.

Davidson sensed Washit's toughness, but there was no other way for him to do it. Who let them lose? If the U.S. Navy wins, he won't have to make peace in such a low-lying way.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, please believe that this incident is absolutely a misunderstanding. We are ready to withdraw our troops from the Azores at once and return the Azores to the German Empire. Davidson said.

"Humph! No, Your Excellency, Ambassador. Azores, we will take it back ourselves. The soldiers of the empire have long been hungry for war. I'm sure they'll do a good job. Washitt said.

Ambassador Davidson cursed in his heart, he certainly believed that with Germany's military strength, it would be easy to take the Azores. But the problem is that there are still tens of thousands of American* soldiers! If the Germans forcibly captured the Azores, then the American * servicemen on the islands would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. What the U.S. government wants to do now is to try to avoid this.

"Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, the United States Government is very sincere in its desire to resolve this conflict by peaceful means. We are ready not only to withdraw our troops from the Azores, but also to compensate the German Reich for its losses. Ambassador Davidson said. He knew that it would be impossible to do so without paying a certain price this time. He only hoped that the Germans' asking price would not be too high, in which case it would be possible to reach an agreement. Otherwise, those boys in the Azores will be very dangerous.

Vasit did not answer immediately, but said after a while: "Well, Your Excellency the Ambassador, the German Empire can stop this war. However, the precondition was that the United States would have to pay a price that would satisfy the German Reich. ”

When Ambassador Davidson heard Washitt say this, his heart immediately sank, and he knew that since Washitt had said this, the conditions put forward by the Germans would have been quite harsh.

"Your Excellency, what price do we have to pay?" Ambassador Davidson asked.

"First, the U.S. government must publicly apologize to the German Empire and admit that it provoked this incident!" Vahit said.

Ambassador Davidson's face suddenly did not look good, and if the US government really did that, then they would probably become the laughing stock of the whole world.

"Second, the U.S. government must compensate the German Empire for its losses, totaling two billion Reichsmarks!"

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, the German Empire has nothing to lose in this conflict. Besides, two billion marks is too much! Ambassador Davidson disagreed.

Although the industry of the United States is strong and the wealth is deep. However, with the continuous investment in the development of armaments, the United States is also overwhelmed financially. Two billion marks is equivalent to 500 million dollars, which is also a lot of money for the current US government.

"Your Excellency, the Empire has met these two conditions. You may wish to ask your Government before answering. Vahit was clearly reluctant to talk about it further.
