"Your Majesty, is the empire going to launch an attack on those rchant ships of the Aricans? As long as His Majesty gives the order, we can leave and start operations." Marshal Earl Tirpitz said excitedly.
You know, whether it is the Imperial Navy's breaking fleet or the submarine force, those Arican rchant ships in the Atlantic Ocean are all coveted. In particular, these Arican rchant ships transported to Britain were almost all war supplies. This obviously caused great damage to the interests of the German Empire. The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy have long wanted to deal with these Arican rchant ships.
However, because of the international situation, the Imperial Navy has never dared to act rashly. But now, the ti has co. The empire no longer has to worry about the Aricans. Then, the Imperial Navy will naturally not have to endure it anymore.
"No, directly attacking Arican rchant ships is an extre way. This will have a certain impact on the reputation of the empire. Even if the empire doesn't care about these reputations, there is still no need to make excuses." William II has not yet What to say, Qin Tian opened his mouth.
"Oscar, is there any way you can teach these Aricans a lesson?" William II asked.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that the empire declare a no-navigation zone in the western and southern waters of the British Isles. Ships from other countries are prohibited from entering that sea area. If they need to enter, they must apply to Germany. Otherwise, , will be regarded as an enemy of Germany. The German Navy can sink any ship that has not been reported to the Empire. In addition, ships from any country are prohibited from transporting war materials to Britain and France. The specific types of war materials are listed by the Ministry of the Navy Co out. The warships of the Imperial Navy will be inspected in the Atlantic Ocean. Once any ships are found that violate the German order, they can be impounded. If they encounter resistance, they can be sunk directly!" Qin Tian said.
Everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help thinking that Qin Tian's words were too arrogant. This is simply to use the power of Germany as a country to face other countries! Of course, they all believed that doing so would be very beneficial to Germany.
"Your Highness, isn't our attitude a little too arrogant? If this is the case, I'm afraid it will cause strong opposition from other countries." Pri Minister Bilo said.
"If you oppose it, just oppose it! It has nothing to do with it. It will not cause any loss to the empire. As long as we can win this war and beco the hegemon of the world, then everything is worth it." Qin Tian Said.
"Your Highness, we are obviously deliberately targeting the Aricans by doing this. Will this arouse the dissatisfaction of the Aricans and directly start a war with us?" Von Kidren Wachter also said.
"They don't have the guts. Of course, this may bring the relationship between us and the United States to a freezing point. However, I don't think it has any relationship. Anyway, after we win this war, we will also have relations with the United States." The Aricans are heading for confrontation. We need to win this war with the least cost, so that we can gain an advantage in the future confrontation with the United States." Qin Tian said.
"No sailing zone, this na is very good. Since the Aricans want to transport supplies to Britain and France, they will cheat the empire. Then, the empire directly prohibits their ships from going to these two countries. All war supplies are prohibited from entering these two countries. The country. Only in this way can the empire win the war. Very good, let’s do it like this!” William II finally made a decision.
On February 18, 1915, the German governnt officially issued a notice. In view of the fact that the British coast has beco a warring area, in order to avoid fratricide, a no-fly zone was delineated along the British coast. Vessels from any country shall not appear in the no-navigation zone. Once you break in, you will bear the consequences. In addition, any country is prohibited from transporting food, oil, steel, aluminum ingots and other non-ferrous tals, as well as weapons and ammunition to Britain and France. Once discovered, it will be regarded as an enemy of Germany. Germany will take all ans to defend the interests of the German Empire!
The announcent made by the German governnt imdiately caused an uproar all over the world. Britain and France, Germany's hostile countries, have accused Germany of making such an arrogant announcent, believing that Germany has no right to do so at all. You know, even when the British Empire was at its strongest, they were never so arrogant! What's more, Germany did this to target these two countries, and wanted to completely cut off their overseas trade, directly trapping them to death. Especially the United Kingdom, once overseas trade is completely cut off, they are really not far from death. Of course they would strongly object. It's just that the German Empire never cared about their opposition.
The U.S. governnt was also furious with Germany's tit-for-tat response. They knew that this was Germany's answer to their earlier reply. The Germans did this entirely to prohibit the United States from transporting supplies to Britain and France. Germany has taken a tough attitude, which naturally caused so people in the US cabinet to shake their positions. They are undoubtedly afraid that if they do so, it will lead to the involvent of the United States in the war. Although, senior officials of the US governnt all want to replace Britain and beco the future world hegemon. However, they may have to think twice if it costs them to participate in the war.
However, under the strong promotion of President Woodrow Wilson, the US governnt was still not intimidated by the Germans. The U.S. governnt publicly issued a statent that the German governnt's outrageous and unreasonable actions are blatantly undermining free trade and trampling on freedom and human rights. The United States will never abide by the so-called no-fly zone designated by Germany. The United States has the right to trade with any country, and other countries have no right to interfere. At the sa ti, the US governnt also stated that the US has sufficient military strength to safeguard their interests. If their interests are damaged, the United States will take all asures and ans to protect their interests, including war.
The response of the US governnt undoubtedly made the international situation more complicated and confusing. Many countries are not fools, so they naturally understand why the United States and Germany are confronting each other. However, they are also speculating whether the United States will be involved in the war because of this.
Germany's designation of no-flight zones has also sowhat affected other countries. However, due to the strong strength of Germany, they dare not speak out, and can only wait to see the reactions of other countries before deciding what to do next.
