The U.S. ambassador was killed by von? Kidren? Vahit's remarks made him tremble with anger. It was their people www.biquge.info who died, and it was their merchant ships that were seized. It turned out that they were wrong.

"Your Excellency, your country is a strong argument. U.S. merchant ships are free to sail on the high seas. The unauthorized designation of no-navigation zones in your country is a violation of freedom of navigation. The U.S. government will never recognize your no-sail zones. The American ambassador was furious.

"Your Excellency, admit it or not, that's your business. Anyway, German recognition is it! "Feng? Kidren? Vahitt replied arrogantly. Regardless of whether the United States admits it or not, the German Navy will arrest ships as long as they intrude into the no-sail zone, and this is the answer of the German government.

The attitude of the German government made the American ambassador very angry, and at the same time, he knew that this time the attitude of the Germans was probably quite tough. It is almost impossible to get the Germans to make concessions through diplomatic efforts.

"Your Excellency, I have to remind Your Excellency and your country in addition. On your merchant ships, however, you have found a number of war materials that the Empire has forbidden to be transported to Britain. The Empire could well understand this as a sign that your country was supporting Britain in its war against the Empire. If the Empire continues to pursue it, it may even lead to your country being considered a hostile state of the Empire. Therefore, we hope that your country will be able to put an end to such behavior. Otherwise, relations between our two countries will inevitably be affected. "Feng? Kidren? Vahit continued.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, our businessmen, are merely carrying on normal overseas trade. Your country is undermining the freedom of trade! "The U.S. ambassador doesn't know what to say now.

"Your Excellency, if you insist on quibbling, then I can't do anything. However, I can tell you very clearly that the no-sail zone has been demarcated. Until the war is over, we will strictly enforce it. Any challenge, we will beat it. "Feng? Kidren? Vahit, with a very resolute attitude.

"Your Excellency, you are bullying. The United States is not a weak country, and we will not give up on any act that infringes on the interests of the Republic of America! "The U.S. ambassador was similarly tough.

With the attitude of both sides being very tough, this meeting was destined to be the result of an unhappy breakup. The Americans will not compromise easily, and similarly, Germany will not easily revoke the no-sail zone. Unless the war ends, the no-sail zone will remain in place. The German Navy would also continue to seize merchant ships from other countries that had intruded into the no-sea zone.

When the US government received the report from the ambassador to Germany, it was even more furious.

"Damn the Germans, they deceive people too much! Do they think that they are really invincible in the world? "Woodrow? President Wilson was furious. In his view, the actions of the German side were nothing more than a violation of their national sovereignty and an act of war.

"Your Excellency the President, the Germans have behaved too badly. And their attitude is equally unacceptable. The American Republic can't afford to let go. Otherwise, the Germans would have been even more unscrupulous. The people in the country will also oppose us. Those guys in the Republican Party are even more looking forward to ousting us from power! Secretary Bryan said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are we going to do about this incident?" Woodrow? President Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency the President, we need to show the Germans our toughness! Let them know that this time the United States of America will not back down. Unless they apologize to us and release the seized ships and compensate us for their losses. Otherwise, we won't give up! Secretary of War Garrison said.

"But would that make the Germans misjudge that we were preparing to join the Entente? If this leads the Germans to declare war on us, then the problem will be serious. Vice President Marshall said.

The current war situation is very unfavorable for the Entente. Even the Americans did not dare to assert that if they joined the Entente, the tide of the war would be reversed. This makes the U.S. government not want to get involved in the war anymore. Of course, if Britain and France were able to resist the German attack, stabilize the defensive line, or even turn the tide of the war in their favor, the United States would inevitably join their side.

"Your Excellency, I think we can appropriately take a tough stance. However, we must not get involved in war. If war broke out, the U.S. Navy might not be able to withstand the Germans. Our east coast, will be threatened by the Germans. Secretary of the Navy Daniels said.

Although, such an answer is difficult to accept. But, Woodrow? President Wilson knows that this is the truth. The current United States has a strong industry, but its military strength is too weak. And, what is even worse is that military strength cannot be improved in a short period of time. Especially in the navy, the construction cycle of their warships is often as long as two or three years. Although the US Navy has already begun to build a new batch of warships. However, by the time these ships are commissioned, perhaps the war will be over.

Woodrow? President Wilson nodded, trying to avoid getting involved in the war as much as possible, which is also very necessary for the United States. After all, with their current strength, they were not yet able to compete with Germany.

"Your Excellency, I suggest that a fleet be sent to escort our merchant ships. In this case, we will undoubtedly be able to show our attitude. If the Germans retreated, then our merchant ships would undoubtedly be able to ignore their no-sea zones. If the Germans are still tough, then we will have to think more carefully. Minister Daniels said.

"What do you think?" Woodrow? Wilson asked.

"Your Excellency the President, the advice of His Excellency Minister Daniels is very good. In that case, we showed our attitude, and at the same time, we did not go to war with the Germans. We also have an explanation for the people in China. Secretary Bryan also said.

His meaning was clear: if Germany continued to be tough, then they would have to back down. The people at home can also understand, who made their military strength too poor? In that case, they would have a good reason to expand their armaments.

Other cabinet ministers did not object.

So, Woodrow? President Wilson issued an order for the U.S. Navy to send a powerful fleet to escort U.S. merchant ships as an expression of the U.S. government's attitude.
