The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 312: Aftermath

"Send a signal to the Germans that we are willing to talk to them about how to deal with the aftermath." Scock ordered.

; "Let them come to my flagship to talk, you can carry no more than 5 followers." Then Hipper looked at the transport boat behind the control tower, and then looked at the unrecognizable Charlemagne that had been bombed. .

; "Let our transport boat pick up the French, I guess if they rely on their own, I am afraid they can only swim over!" Hipper's semi-serious and semi-joking words caused a roar of laughter in the staff. "Okay, okay, pay attention, don't irritate our guests, hurry up and prepare."

"This is the battleship that defeated Charlemagne!" When Scock boarded the battleship, he deliberately slowed down. The gangway to board the ship was a little behind the middle of the battleship. He carefully observed the ship. The battleship, although there were some deep or shallow pits on the side of the ship, and there were traces left after the fire was extinguished in some places, but overall, the battleship did not have any fatal damage in the fierce battle just now.

In his opinion, if the ammunition consumption is not taken into consideration, this warship can definitely fight another battle! Two 254mm heavy guns arranged opposite each other in the middle of the hull attracted his attention. "There are a total of 8 secondary main guns, no wonder the Germans have such a strong projection of warships." Scock tried to record everything he saw in his head. He wanted to know what caused the French fleet to fail!

; "Sir, in order to solve the problem faster and better, can you do it faster?" A German officer on the side said very politely, but from the other side's tone and actions, Scock could feel The dissatisfaction and anger of the other side, this act of taking the opportunity to spy on the warships of other countries caused great dissatisfaction among the Germans, and for some unnecessary trouble, Scock accelerated his pace.

"Because of some mistakes and accidents, an unnecessary conflict occurred between the two navies. This time, I am here to solve the problem through peaceful means. If possible, I hope your country can help France The fleet returned to Dakar to help." Scock explained his intentions.

"You don’t seem to have a clear understanding of the situation now, because your country’s wrong actions have caused extremely serious consequences, and it was a provocative act for the French fleet to enter our pre-delimited zone of engagement, and the French fleet is now defeated. But relying on a mistake to slip away from us? This is impossible!" Hipper said angrily.

; The French think so well, your first move was on your side, and now you can’t beat them. Want to pat your **** and leave? How can there be such a good thing? After I went back, I still don’t know what it was promoted by you! Hipper still wants to keep these people here as witnesses and hostages!

"You want to detain the French fleet? This is an act of war!" Scock said tightly.

"The first French fleet to open fire is already an act of war, and France also wants to land in our theater. It is your country that provoked this dispute, and you have to bear all the responsibilities!" Hipper said sternly.

"And for you who have already attacked the German fleet, we will never let it go. Our ceasefire is just for humanitarian reasons. If you reject the German navy's kindness, then we don't mind continuing to fight."

"This is just a misunderstanding, and you cannot bear the consequences of the expansion of the war." Scock threatened.

"Does your country’s law stipulate that one party can not bear the consequences after killing because of a misunderstanding? Before we came here, we had received domestic telegrams to resolutely counteract all acts that dare to challenge Germany’s dignity. The behavior is endorsed, so I am not worried about the consequences, I am just a soldier, and act according to orders." Hipper did not flinch.

; "You better recognize the reality, Captain, we have already caused a de facto engagement, so you can't expect us to let you go. All we do is to avoid unnecessary casualties, so what you need to do now , And the only thing we can do is to cooperate with us to transfer personnel. We can make Charlemagne the Great beach or sink, and then all French navy and army personnel can be transferred to land, but they must surrender their weapons and place them under the custody of the Empire. Down. And if you refuse, then when you return to the Charlemagne, it will be the day when the war will reopen!" Hipper issued an ultimatum.

"I...I accept it!" It took 5 minutes for Scock to squeeze these words out of his teeth, but this was enough for Hipper. This battle is over. In addition to the aftermath, he needs to immediately prepare for the possible expansion of the conflict.

; "How many shells does the fleet have?" The damage to the warship is not large, and the battle can continue after simple maintenance. The most important thing is the consumption of ammunition. In less than an hour of fighting, the Marquis of Bismarck took advantage of the high rate of fire of the main artillery, but the price was that the stock of artillery shells dropped very sharply.

"Our 10-inch main gun has about 600 rounds left, and the 6-inch secondary gun has a lot of ammunition left, and each can average more than 80 rounds." Lieutenant Von Liole replied. "However, if nothing happens, the ammunition problem can be resolved quickly, because at the latest tomorrow night, a U.S. transport fleet can arrive here to deliver us the much-needed ammunition and supplies."

; "That's good ~ lightnovelpub.net~ The problem is not big. The news of the failure of the French fleet has been transmitted to Dakar via radio in time. Then the news is transmitted to the French mainland and then a decision is made. What happened is also 3 days later. It’s up. The fleet can be supplied tomorrow. Within 4 days, Earl Spey’s fleet can arrive here. At that time, 4 German battleships will be gathered here, unless the French send their main Mediterranean or Atlantic fleets here. Otherwise, relying solely on the few French warships in Dakar is of no use at all!

; Of course, when he was busy with these things, Hipper did not forget to report the situation here to the top German leaders. He can't decide on such a big thing. The next step is to stick to it or directly reach Kare to block the French.

While the Germans were doing this, a French radio relay ship in disguise cruising outside received a telegram from Charlemagne before the surrender. After some setbacks, the telegram was forwarded to Paris. , And this also indicates that the confrontation between France and Germany has reached a new stage!
