PS: The third update is here! Ask, ask for a monthly pass! Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend Magic Master 001 and Qing Jiulong!

At 9 a.m. on June 14, at the German government building on Linden Street, the envoys of various countries in Germany received a message from German Chancellor Theobarden? Feng? Bateman? Holwig was invited to attend a press conference by the German government. At the same time, reporters from major newspapers in Europe and the world are also invited. It's just that most people don't know what's going on. Only a handful of ambassadors to Germany already knew about the sinking of the gunboat 'Leopard' in the port of Agadir!

At 10 o'clock, Prime Minister Holwig walked to the rostrum, his face was iron-blue, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Gentlemen and ladies! Now, I have a message for you all! Last night, in the Moroccan port of Agadir, the gunboat "Leopard" of our Navy sank! It was sunk by the French Navy! On behalf of the German Government, I would like to make a formal request to the French Government that France must hand over the murderers of the German naval officers and men to Germany for trial, otherwise Germany will never give up! Chancellor Holwig said!

"Wow! What the? The gunboat 'Leopard' was sunk? ”

"Oh God! How is this possible? The French actually sank the warships of the Germans, did they want to provoke a war? ”

"Is a world war about to break out? Is peace coming to an end? ”

It was the first time for the reporters attending the press conference to learn the news and they were amazed. Everyone hurried to record this explosive news and send it back to the office after the press conference. Obviously, this news can definitely make the headlines!

"Slander! This is a slander by Germany against France. The French Navy did not shell the gunboat 'Leopard' at all! The French ambassador to Germany immediately jumped out and resolutely opposed Germany's behavior of holding the basin on France's head. Although, he did not know if the French Navy sank the gunboat "Leopard". But no matter what, it is absolutely impossible to admit it. Otherwise, France will be responsible for provoking the war!

"Humph! If not sunk by the French Navy? That's who sank it. At that time, in the port of Agadir, in addition to the gunboat 'Leopard', there was only one light cruiser and one destroyer of the French Navy! Chancellor Holwig asked!

"And the light cruiser 'Sapphire' of the British Navy! Why couldn't it have been them who sank the gunboat 'Leopard'? The French ambassador to Germany hurriedly retorted. It's just that he forgot about it and wanted to splash dirty water on the heads of the British, and the British would definitely not agree!

"Your Excellency, what nonsense are you talking about? How could it be that a warship of the British Empire sank the gunboat 'Leopard'? Sure enough, the Prime Minister in Holwig has not yet said anything. The British ambassador to Germany was the first to shout in dissatisfaction!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! That was not what I meant! The French ambassador to Germany hastened to apologize. In any case, Britain was an ally of France, and this time France needed the support of Britain if Germany used force against France. France needs Britain and France to fight side by side!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the gunboat 'Leopard' has sunk, but it was definitely not sunk by the French Navy." The French ambassador to Germany can only die for this!

"Humph! If it wasn't for the French Navy? Could it be that we blew up and sank the gunboat 'Leopard' ourselves? Ambassador Holwig said disdainfully! When the facts have already been clear, the French still have to deny it, which makes him very dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there is indeed such a possibility. Germany has been looking for an excuse for war, and this time it is likely that Germany itself blew up and sank the gunboat Leopard. And then the one who planted it on our heads! The French ambassador to Germany was also out of his mind, arguing with Chancellor Holwig-for-tat. Although, this is German territory, as a diplomat of France. He must do everything in his power to defend French interests. Only then will his future be bright when he returns to France!

"Joke! If we had blown up and sunk the gunboat 'Leopard', then why did none of the more than 30 naval officers and men on it survive? Chancellor Holwig asked angrily.

"This ......" the French ambassador to Germany was speechless for a moment. In the West, which values human rights. It is very difficult to sacrifice one's own officers and soldiers to blame other countries. In their thinking, this is simply not supposed to be done.

"None of the officers and men on the gunboat 'Leopard' survived! It seems that the Germans did not do it themselves. It must have been done by the French! Many reporters thought so. They already have in their heads what to do in the news next. In addition to the French newspapers, the content of other newspapers is estimated to be that France provoked this war!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what measures will Germany take to sink the gunboat 'Leopard'? Will there be revenge on France? The correspondent of the British newspaper The Times asked!

"Germany is a peace-loving country, but the German naval officers and men cannot be killed in vain, and the French government must hand over the murderers to us to deal with, otherwise, Germany will take a single measure to protect its own interests!" Prime Minister Holwig shouted!

"Including the means of war?" The reporter asked again.

"If the French government wants war, then Germany is not afraid of war!" Prime Minister Holwig said firmly!

"France will not be afraid of any threats and challenges, not even war!" The French ambassador to Germany said indignantly. After finishing speaking, he immediately turned around and left the scene of the press conference.

After that, the reporters again asked Chancellor Holwig a lot of questions, but Chancellor Holwig only answered a few questions before announcing the end of the press conference. The ambassadors of various countries to Germany also left one after another. However, when the Chinese ambassador to Germany, Liang Cheng, was told by German government officials that Chancellor Holwig wanted to meet him. This scene also fell into the eyes of the ambassadors of other countries in Germany. Obviously, they will all think that Germany is preparing for war, and Germany needs to get China's support in this case. Even after the outbreak of war, Germany needs China to be on Germany's side. This makes everyone feel that the crisis of war is getting closer and closer, and maybe tomorrow, war will break out!

On the afternoon of June 14, the French government also held a-for-tat press conference. French Prime Minister Joseph? Cailliaud claimed at the press conference that the French Admiralty had investigated the cause of the sinking of the gunboat Leopard and had made initial progress. The captains of the light cruiser Montpellier and the destroyer Nîmes of the French Navy did not give the order to open their guns. And, checking the ammunition afterwards, the ammunition of the light cruiser 'Montpellier' and the destroyer 'Nîmes' was not reduced either. This shows that it was not the French navy that sank the gunboat 'Leopard', but that Germany wanted to find an excuse for war and take the opportunity to blame France.

At the press conference, a reporter asked why none of the German naval officers and sailors on the gunboat "Leopard" survived.

This, French Prime Minister Joseph? Cailliaud, however, could not explain it. If Germany had blown up and sunk the gunboat Leopard, the naval officers and men on it would have evacuated ahead of schedule. Therefore, Joseph? Cailliaud's words can't be believed. In just half a day, France claimed to have obtained the results of the investigation, which is simply perfunctory. Also, Joseph? The evidence presented by Cailliaud is also completely implausible, and no one knows how much ammunition the light cruiser 'Montpellier' and the destroyer 'Nîmes' carried, Joseph? Cailliaud's sentence after checking that the ammunition on the door of the battleship has not decreased, and wants to dissociate himself from France, which is simply impossible!

However, this-for-tat statement by the French government has unsurprisingly added fuel to the fire. The German government immediately stated that, in view of the denial of the French government, Germany would take the necessary action to avenge the dead German naval officers and men. Kaiser Wilhelm II also made a public speech, in which he claimed to all Germans that Germany was now facing a serious threat, that Germany's overseas interests were being eroded, that German officers and soldiers were being slaughtered, and that Germany had no way out. If Germany continues to regress, Germany will be divided again. As Emperor of Germany, he had already made up his mind to defend German interests to the death.

Kaiser Wilhelm II's speech made all Germans excited, and demonstrations against France and support Germany broke out in major German cities, and even many radical people petitioned outside the palace, demanding to join the army, and then fight a 'Franco-Prussian war', and let the despicable and shameless French pay a heavy price!

At the same time, the German team reacted. The German Army sent ten more divisions to the German-French border, which made the French troops on the border very nervous, and frequently asked for reinforcements from the rear. At the same time, the German Navy's high seas fleet sailed out of the port of Hamburg and headed for the French coast to put pressure on France. It's just that when he was in the English Channel, he was intercepted by the British Navy's home fleet!

In the face of the threat of war from Germany, France also took the necessary countermeasures. French President Falier also knows that this time it has really made a big deal, but now France has no choice but to bite the bullet. The French Army also continued to send troops to the border to ensure that it would not be attacked by surprise.

Others have called on the two countries to remain calm and not start a war. However, almost all the war situation in Germany has been mobilized, and it will certainly not stop at this time!

In view of the fact that the German Navy was intercepted by the British Navy in the English Channel, this made Wilhelm II think that Britain was determined to fight Germany with France, and on June 21, Kaiser Wilhelm II gave the order for Germany to carry out a general mobilization for war!
