1. "Your Excellency, something is wrong. The Americans suddenly sent troops to land in the Azores, and it is estimated that by this time, the entire Azores had already fallen into the hands of the Americans. Major General Carmona, Chief of Staff of the Portuguese Army, reported to President Cabesadas with a panicked expression.

They had just signed an agreement with the Germans to sell the Azores to Germany for 500 million marks. The Germans were very happy, and immediately after signing the agreement, they paid 500 million marks to the Portuguese government, so that the government of Cabesadas, which had just come to power, had enough funds to integrate the government and ensure the stability of the country and the regime.

However, at this juncture, the Americans brazenly sent troops to occupy the Azores, which undoubtedly added a lot of variables to everything.

"The Americans occupied the Azores?" President Kabesadas was also surprised. However, then it occurred to him that an agreement had been signed with Germany on the sale of the Azores anyway, and even the money was already in hand. The Azores, although not yet officially handed over, no longer belong to Portugal, but to Germany.

"The conflict between the Americans and the Germans, we better not get involved. Anyway, the Azores are no longer our territory, so let the Germans have a headache! By the way, let the Foreign Ministry tell the Germans a few hours later. President Kabesadas said with a smile.

When the Azores were first sold, President Cabesadas was not willing. Now that the Americans have forcibly occupied the Azores, he would be even more happy to see the Germans and Americans knock out pigs' brains for the Azores. In this way, it can be regarded as letting him vent the anger in his heart. He deliberately delayed telling the Germans for a few hours, in order to prepare the Americans as much as possible on the Azores. When the Germans attacked the Azores, the Germans would pay a greater price in the battle.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Major General Carmona replied.

However, he replied quite simply. But in fact, Major General Carmona still has his own careful thoughts. President Cabesadas was dissatisfied with the Germans, and this seemed to create an opportunity for him. If he can get the support of the Germans, will he also have a chance to replace Cabesadas as president of Portugal?

As soon as he thought of this, Major General Carmona secretly told the Germans to inform them that the Azores were forcibly occupied by the Americans. At the same time, there was the reaction of President Cabesadas, which was likewise revealed to the German side by Major General Carmona.

The German Embassy in Portugal, after learning of this situation, did not dare to slack off and reported it to China as soon as possible. This also allowed Emperor Qin Tian to learn the news less than two hours after the U.S. military forcibly occupied the Azores.

"Your Majesty, the Americans forcibly occupied the Azores, which is undoubtedly a plan to try to stop our Navy. The Empire could not tolerate such a thing. Imperial Foreign Minister Vahit said.

After receiving the telegram from the embassy in Portugal, he immediately rushed to the palace and reported to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian's face also became very ugly. Originally, he thought that if Germany planned the Portuguese coup d'état and then bought the Azores from the Portuguese government, he would be able to solve the problem once and for all, and he would be able to sit back and relax. However, I didn't expect that the Americans would come to this set and directly draw wages from the bottom of the German plan.

"Come, let the Prime Minister, the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy come to me at once. The empire wanted peace, and it did not want to go to war with the Americans so early. However, the Americans have repeatedly provoked the empire and broken through the bottom line of the empire again and again. If the empire chooses to compromise and back down again, can the empire still be considered the most powerful country in the world? This time, the empire will definitely not compromise again. The Americans want war, so give them war! Qin Tian said with a dark face.

Originally, Qin Tian wanted to compress the living space of the United States step by step, and at the same time give priority to developing itself. At that time, Germany will not only be able to occupy a great advantage, but at the same time will be able to develop much stronger than the United States. In that case, the chances of Germany winning the war would be further enhanced. However, the repeated provocations of the Americans have made it unbearable for him. As the saying goes, clay figurines still have three points of fire, not to mention that Qin Tian is still the emperor of the German Empire, the most powerful empire in the world.

Vahit nodded, and he also believed that if he repeatedly backed down, he would only give the Americans an inch. At this time, the Americans could only use strong force to let the Americans know that the German Empire could not be allowed to be bullied at will.

"Also, you immediately summon the American ambassador and give them an ultimatum. Either evacuate the Azores within 24 hours, or prepare to withstand the wrath of the Empire! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Vasit immediately went into action.

The American ambassador knew what was going to happen when he was informed that German Foreign Minister Vahit was going to see him. As ambassador to Germany, he was undoubtedly one of the most important diplomats of the United States. If his term ends, he will be able to return home as undersecretary of state for foreign affairs. He also knows about domestic actions. Although, he has already reminded the country that this is playing with fire. However, it is clear that the people in the country did not take his warning seriously at all.

"Your Excellency, I formally inform you that the Empire is very dissatisfied with the fact that the United States has brazenly sent troops to occupy the territory of the Empire. The empire officially demanded that the United States must withdraw its troops within 24 hours. Otherwise, the Empire will use all means to fight back! Washitt said.

"The territory of your country? How could the United States occupy the territory of your country? "The American ambassador began to play dumb. After all, the agreement signed between Germany and the Portuguese government on the purchase of the Azores has not yet been officially made public.

"Azores! The Empire has officially bought the Azores from Portugal. The Azores, which you have conquered, are the territory of the Empire! Vasit said with a dark face.

"What?" The American ambassador looked surprised.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, there must be some misunderstanding here. The US government does not know that the Azores are already your territory, it is just a conflict between us and the Portuguese. The American ambassador argued.

"Now you know! I don't want to say anything more, remember, you only have 24 hours! ”
