When the first sparks rose after the opposing warship was hit by a shell, everyone's thoughts were completely different.

Damn the Germans, they actually want to bully the big with the small, well, see how I clean you up! - Captain Jim, captain of the American cruiser USS Buffalo, while the German destroyer USS Fleicher was firing at his battleship more than 3,000 yards away.

Damn the Americans, how dare you offend the Imperial German Navy, I will make you suffer the most severe punishment! - Lieutenant Commander Walter, captain of the German destroyer Fleicher, whose battleship was under heavy shelling from two cruisers.

It's terrible, that stupid Jim, who actually involved us in a face-to-face battle with the Germans, and I don't know what the terrible consequences will be! Alas, the main responsibility is on Jim's shoulders anyway, and he will follow suit, but I hope not to beat the Germans too badly. - Colonel Philip, captain of the American cruiser "Marbohead", his warship was now unscathed due to the concentrated fire of the German destroyer on the "Buffalo".

Bastard Americans, dare to provoke the German Empire, good Walter, you must beat me hard, what responsibility do I have! - Colonel Wiesenberg, captain of the German cruiser Hausen, whose battleship was on its way to the battlefield and was joining the battle in five minutes.

Damn, I'm not here to fight, if a shell happens to hit here, then the country will lose an extremely good intelligence officer, no, I have to find a safer place. But where is it safer? - Major Novo, U.S. intelligence officer, was in the control tower of the cruiser USS Buffalo, one of the most unsafe places in the battle.

Unfortunate premonitions are always the most effective! However, now that the battle has begun, let them take a good look at the strength of the German Navy! - Lieutenant Commander André of the German destroyer "Fleicher", a promising young officer.

Will such a united, powerful, and honor-worthy country and its army still have to test their reaction when they are violated? God, I wonder what the Washington officials think! Look at the reaction of the Germans, they have probably reached the point where they see death as their home! Alas, chess pieces. We are all pawns! - Major Daniel, Special Observer for the U.S. Central Committee, a mysterious figure with an important mission.

What the? The American ship outside has not sunk yet? Well, let's treat it to a few more shells! The commander of the main turret artillery of the German destroyer "Fleicher", Sergeant Schneider, a veteran seaman who served in the German Navy for more than 7 years, was twice awarded the Battle Medal, he commanded both guns, and the millimeter gun hit the American cruiser "Buffalo" with the first shot.

Second Lieutenant Nat, the pilot of the carrier-based aircraft of the American cruiser "Buffalo", was ignited by artillery fire at the beginning of the battle, and quickly turned to ashes after 30 seconds.——,

My God. What a wonderful battle scene! - The crew of the Brazilian Navy's submarine "Baccabar", who became the most loyal spectators throughout the battle, even though the German sailors had already boarded the boat.

Fuck the Americans! - The captain of the 7 10,000-ton freighters in the German G512 team and the water calculation attacked the American cruiser with the ship's 105mm rapid-fire guns, but unfortunately the opponent was always out of range.

Before the "Hausen" joined the battle, the 2,100-ton "Fleicher" had to fight alone with two American light cruisers, of which the "Buffalo" was launched in 1908 with a displacement of 5,750 tons, equipped with 4 203-mm ships, 10 120-mm guns, and 2 twin 533-mm torpedo tubes. Four of the 203 mm guns were twinned with one in the bow and one in the stern. 10 120-mm guns were mounted on both sides of the ship, in addition to a number of 40-mm and 20-mm guns with a maximum speed of 30 knots; The "Mabo Head" was launched in 1907. With a displacement of 5,500 tons, it is equipped with 6 152 mm naval guns, 8 105 mm rapid-fire guns, 2 twin 533 mm torpedo tubes, 6 152 mm main guns are divided into 3 twin turrets in front of the two rear configurations, and the 105 mm auxiliary guns are attached to the two sides in a single form, with a maximum speed of 28 knots.

Judging from the data alone, the "Fleicher" is at an absolute disadvantage, but the reason why Captain Volche dares to challenge the other side is not just courage. At a distance of less than 4,000 yards, the 203-mm guns and 152-mm guns of the two American cruisers had no advantage in range, and the rate of fire was inferior to the German 120-mm twin guns. In terms of shooting accuracy, the hit rate of both sides in the high-speed movement has decreased, except for the first shot of the "Fleicher" with 2 shells hitting the middle and rear of the "Buffalo", the 2nd and 3rd salvos are only, the shells hit, the 4th salvo and 6 shells are all missing, another result of the high-speed movement is that both sides easily avoid the torpedoes fired by the other side, and one torpedo after the torpedoes can only helplessly drag a white line composed of bubbles on the sea surface, and silently sink to the bottom of the sea after running out of fuel.

The Germans soon discovered that the American sailors were not much better at gunnery than the British, and the powerful 203-mm guns of the "Buffalo" almost became the drummer of the fleet. The rumbling cannon sound resounded across the sea, but one shell only stirred up a high and earth water column, at best, it only made the German destroyers toss a few times in the waves they set off, and the results were even worse than those 120 mm secondary guns, 3 120 mm armor-piercing shells hit the "Fleicher" one after another, one shot blew out a big hole on its starboard side, one shot pierced the chimney and fell into the sea on the port side, and one shot was the most thrilling, falling into the sailor's dining room and blowing up inside, fortunately, even the chef was not in the restaurant at that time, so it was not built ** casualties; In contrast, the 152 mm guns of the "Mapo Head" were much more threatening to the "Fleicher", and although only one shot hit the target directly, the damage caused by more near-miss shells was not to be underestimated.

Fortunately, the "Fleicher" is after all a new destroyer designed in 1917 and completed in 1918, with a displacement of 2,100 tons that is nearly twice as large as the previous destroyers, and has absorbed many lessons from the German-British naval war, so that the ship has found a better balance in firepower, defense, speed and endurance. Even if one of the compartments is hit, there will be no loss of power on the whole ship. This bayonet-class destroyer uses an all-oil-fired boiler. It can carry 650 tons of heavy oil, has a cruising range of 3,000 nautical miles, and a maximum speed of 30 knots.

In the first 5 minutes of shelling, the "Fleicher" ate 4 medium-caliber shells and more than 10 near-misses, and the bilge leaked slightly, but basically did not affect the combat capability of the ship, during this time the German gunners performed as good as ever, and their 120-mm guns hit the American ship "Buffalo" once. I saw that the unfortunate light cruiser had thick smoke and flames on the deck, and although the speed of the ship had not decreased, the rate of fire and accuracy of the main guns had greatly decreased.

At this moment, four 152-mm shells blasted up four high columns of water around the "Buffalo", and the splashes that fell in a series of water may have helped to alleviate the fire above, but more importantly, they announced that the situation on the battlefield had changed - the German Guardian-class cruiser "Hausen", which was capable enough to rival the "Buffalo" or "Maboheide", finally entered the battle.

Seeing that his little brother was beaten with bullet marks, this made the officers and men on the "Haosen" very angry, and just after entering the torpedo range, the four torpedoes rushed out without hesitation, and directly hitting the other party was not their main goal. After forcing the two American light cruisers to twist their bodies to evade. The 152-mm guns on the "Hausen" began to wield.

The shells fired from the "Hausen" still gave priority to the wounded "Buffalo", and after a salvo of German ships, only four water columns rose around the "Buffalo". Needless to say, the other two either hit the deck of the "Buffalo" or burrowed into its hull. Despite the strong strength of the United States, in terms of armor-piercing projectile technology, even the United Kingdom, a traditional naval power, is slightly inferior to the Germans, not to mention the US Navy, which has not met an opponent for many years. After a burst of flames, the black smoke emitted from the "Buffalo" became even thicker, but so far, there has been no choice to jump into the sea to escape on the water above, and it seems that despite the ferocity of the fire, the ship is not worried about sinking for the time being.

Your flagship was badly damaged. While concentrating the ship's firepower to bombard the German cruiser that had just entered the battle, and on the other hand, it was blocking between the "Buffalo" and the German ship. The "Hausen" was a new ship launched in 1917, but after all, it only had the defense of the light cruiser class, and after eating a 152-mm shell from the "Mabo Head", it also caught fire on its starboard side, and the billowing smoke quickly blackened its brand-new hull, but fortunately the fire was not large. Thanks to the efforts of the sailors, the fire was quickly brought under control, and the cruiser persevered with the "Fleicher" in pursuit of the American fleet. It was only when the "Mabohyde" released smoke and turned around to release a volley of torpedoes to cover its retreat that the two German battleships reluctantly withdrew from the battle, and they soon returned to the flotilla and were warmly welcomed by the sailors.

At 5 p.m., the German flotilla, codenamed G12, rendezvoused with a Chilean cruiser fleet, and was never attacked again, and finally arrived at the Chilean port of Valpaso under the escort of the Chilean fleet. All the pilots, technicians, and crews of the bomber squadron had already arrived in Chile in advance, and the conventional bombing was only one of their missions, and the seemingly impossible mission with Leto-Faucebel's ground forces was what they were most looking forward to.

On the night of the end of the battle, two damaged American light cruisers sailed into the unblockaded Brazilian port of Salvador, where they underwent three days of emergency repairs before returning to the continental United States. Naturally, the results of the naval battle could not satisfy the Americans, and the "Mabo Hyde" had to enter the dock for two months of overhaul, and the "Buffalo" was directly decommissioned, and 79 American sailors were killed in the entire naval battle, and more than 100 people were traumatized to varying degrees. As allies of the United States, the Brazilians lost two of their most valuable submarines, one of which was captured by the Germans and transferred to the Chilean Navy, where the first submarine cadets were trained for the Chilean Navy, although they did not have outstanding results in the following years.

In the second week after the end of the naval battle, Major Daniel, a special observer of the Central Committee who participated in the battle with the "Buffalo," submitted a report directly to the White House, in which he gave a detailed account of the entire process of the naval battle, and made a limited assessment of the two navies in terms of the performance of the ships, the performance of the commanders, the skills of the sailors, and the morale of the two navies. At the end of the report, the observer wrote his personal opinion: it was an extremely terrible navy, although they did not have a long history, but they were combative and well-trained, the quality of officers and enlisted men was particularly prominent, the age structure of the command was reasonable, the ruler knew how to control his navy, and it was recommended to avoid any kind of frontal conflict with this navy as much as possible in the absence of absolute superiority in the United States Navy.

On the day the battle ended, Berlin reacted swiftly. The German Foreign Minister sent an urgent note to the US ambassador, strongly protesting and condemning the US Navy's move, and warned that if similar incidents occur again, Germany has the right to take retaliatory action and will not send the possibility of further escalation! The next day, German Prime Minister Batemann personally announced to the whole country the details of the naval battle and the actual losses, and claimed that although the German destroyer fired the first shot in the naval battle, the US ** ship had already essentially threatened the safety of the German ** ship and the fleet, and this move was only a reasonable self-defense counterattack.

On the same day, Washington also reacted, accusing the German warship of firing the first shot in the clash and causing casualties to nearly 200 US Navy officers and men, and public opinion in the United States was also biased in favor of the government. However, since neither government had any intention of expanding the matter, the representatives of the two countries finally sat down at the negotiating table, and on June 15, 1919, they signed the "German-U.S. Non-Aggression Pact on the South American Battlefield," stipulating that the armies of both sides were not allowed to directly attack or participate in direct attacks on each other in the South American war zone.

On June 20, in order to protect the country's maritime transportation lines, two aircraft carriers of the German Navy, "Zeppelin" and "Lisa", entered the waters of South America under the escort of many light ships. In response, the US Navy sent the powerful battleships "Arizona" and "Pennsylvania" and the aircraft carriers "Langley" and "Lexington" to the northern ports of Brazil to strengthen the weak coastal defense of the anti-intellectual coalition, and arranged for its own shipyards to build warships and submarines for Brazil and Argentina. As one of the belligerent countries, the British government-in-exile in Canada also sent two warships to South America to participate in the war, but unfortunately, the two warships were stopped by the German navy on the way, and both ships were finally sunk in the waters east of the Caribbean Sea.
