After Germany delineated the no-sail zone, due to various reasons, there were a lot of ships from other countries forcibly breaking into the no-sail zone. Among them, the most are undoubtedly Arican ships. A large number of Arican rchant ships and tankers, regardless of the German ban, wanted to transport the urgently needed supplies of the British for huge profits.
The British made great efforts for these materials, and of course, more importantly, they provoked disputes between the United States and Germany. The prices they charge Aricans are very high. The price of a shipnt of copper ingots or other non-ferrous tals has tripled before the war broke out.
It can be seen how crazy those Arican businessn will be under the influence of such a large profit. For these profits, they are not even afraid of beheading.
Of course, the consequence of the Aricans doing this is that the breaking fleet has reaped a lot. During the first day of operations, more than fifty Arican rchant ships were seized. On the second day, it directly rose to more than 80 ships. Three days later, the number of Arican rchant ships forcibly seized by the German Navy had reached 200.
Even if the United States is a mariti power, losing so many rchant ships at once is enough to make them feel bad. Not to ntion, in the face of the pursuit of the German navy, many Aricans resisted. In the process of escaping, several rchant ships were directly sunk, resulting in the death of hundreds of Aricans.
The harsh asures taken by the German Navy undoubtedly shocked all countries in the world. Many people have realized that the Germans are not just talking. Although the huge profits make them tempted, no matter how much money they earn, they still have to spend it! Otherwise, it is useless to make more money.
This made many rchant ships who originally planned to forcibly break into the no-sail zone had to give up such an idea. For the sake of your own life, let's make less money!
"Your Highness, the phenonon of rchant ships from various countries forcibly breaking into the no-go zone has basically been controlled by us. Under our strong pressure, those guys are honest. However, I want to let those guys break in for a few more days , In this way, we will be able to get more rchant ships. Maybe even the rchant ships needed by the army to land in the British Isles in the future can be enough.” Marshal Earl Tirpitz smiled.
"Oh? So many? How many ships have we seized these days?" Qin Tian asked.
It would be great if Britain could be completely trapped to death because of this. After being cut off from overseas trade, how long can the British survive? Maybe when the German army lands in the British Isles, it will be able to destroy Britain without any effort. As for the seized Arican rchant ships and the materials transported on them, it was a complete surprise.
"Your Highness, in just three days, we have detained more than 200 Arican rchant ships. Including rchant ships from other countries, the number is more than 250. The value of those rchant ships alone is an astronomical figure. Not to ntion, those rchant ships also transported a lot of supplies we need." Marshal Earl Tirpitz smiled very happily. According to the usual practice, those rchant ships and the goods on the rchant ships belong to the navy after they are sold. The Navy is free to spend that money. Not only can it be used to improve the treatnt of officers and soldiers, but it can also build more warships, bringing the strength of the German navy to a higher level.
"Well, the harvest is indeed good. However, so many rchant ships have been lost. The Aricans will definitely not let it go. The foreign minister must be busy." Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Your Highness, no matter what, these rchant ships are already in our hands, and they will never be returned to the Aricans, right?" Earl and Marshal Tirpitz asked, he was a little worried that the cooked duck would fly away.
"Don't worry, Marshal. Since those rchant ships have been seized by us, it is absolutely impossible to return them to the Aricans. Anyway, they violated our ban first. Even if they protest, it is just a war of words with them That's all. Anyway, we won't back down this ti." Qin Tian said. The Aricans have repeatedly challenged Germany in defiance of the German ban. Then, they will naturally have to pay for it. The seized rchant ships are considered the price paid by the Aricans for this.
"What if the Aricans refuse?" said Marshal Earl Tirpitz.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, I think you want the Aricans to join the Allied Powers because of this, right? In that case, it will be the turn of the Navy to show its talents. At that ti, the Imperial Navy can naturally teach the Aricans how to behave!" Qin Tian Said.
"Haha!" Earl Tirpitz, who had been guessed by Qin Tian, couldn't help laughing.
In fact, the U.S. governnt was indeed furious about the fact that the German Navy forcibly seized the U.S. rchant ship. Even with the capacity of the United States, the loss of so many rchant ships at once caused them a great headache. Those rchant ship owners are all rich! They joined forces to put pressure on the governnt, which imdiately put the US governnt under trendous pressure.
In addition, the German navy not only detained Arican rchant ships, but also opened fire and killed many Aricans, which made the U.S. governnt unacceptable. After all, this can already be regarded as Germany's ignorance and slap in the face of the United States.
The U.S. ambassador to Germany went to the German Foreign Ministry as soon as possible, and urgently t with German Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter, expressing the U.S. protest to him.
"Your Excellency, the Foreign Secretary, your country's navy brazenly attacked Arican rchant ships, causing a large number of casualties of innocent Arican civilians. This behavior is completely an act of war. Your country's unreasonable seizure of Arican rchant ships has caused a lot of losses to the United States. The U.S. governnt demands that the German governnt imdiately stop this behavior, and at the sa ti, apologize to the U.S. governnt and compensate for the loss!" The U.S. ambassador looked indignant.
However, von Kidren Wachter looked indifferent, as if he didn't pay attention to the protests of the Aricans.
"Your Excellency, the rchant ships of your country ignored the ban of the German Empire, forcibly broke into the no-sail zone designated by us, and transported prohibited war supplies to the UK. That's why the Imperial Navy detained those rchant ships. As for the sunk rchant ships , then I'm sorry. They tried to escape, and the Imperial Navy had to open fire. So, all this is because your country's rchant ships were at fault first, and the Imperial Navy had to do that." Von Kidren? Wahit pushed the bla completely, and also blad all the responsibilities on the Aricans.
