"Damn it, tell them, stop firing, we surrender, I'm willing to plead guilty!"John was frightened.

The defensive power of merchant ships cannot be compared with warships.

Even though the Black Pearl is a merchant ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, it still cannot withstand the 15mm naval gun.

In this case, John He immediately gave up.

But unfortunately, even if he wanted to confess, the Third Reich Navy would not give him such a chance. The light cruiser Gera simply ignored the telegram sent by the Black Pearl and continued to fire wildly.

The other two X destroyers were also firing on the other three merchant ships in the fleet.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The naval gun fired violently, and the shells hit four merchant ships including the Black Pearl.

The merchant ship that was hit had already burst into flames. After the fragile hull was penetrated, the merchant ship had already taken in water.

In such a situation In order to escape, many sailors jumped directly into the icy sea.

It was January and the water was freezing. After falling into the sea, if they were not rescued in time, they would be dead. As for the Third Reich Navy, It is obviously impossible to rescue them.

Therefore, it is natural to imagine what will happen to these sailors.

"boom! boom!"

A violent explosion sounded on the Black Pearl merchant ship. This huge merchant ship was almost torn apart during the explosion.

John looked desperate at this moment. He knew very well that he was doomed this time.

He regretted it. He had known it earlier. We shouldn’t be greedy for profit and break into the no-navigation zones of the Third Reich. But now, it’s all too late

"Send a telegram, send a telegram to the country, telling us that we were massacred by the Third Reich Navy, and let the country avenge us!"John ordered.

Even if death is inevitable this time, he hopes that the Eagle Sauce Country can avenge them and will never make things easier for the Third Reich.

But he doesn't seem to have thought about whether this will bring the Eagle Sauce Country to a standstill. How about dragging it into the war? By then, I don’t know how many young men from the Eagle Country will be killed in the war.

"OK, boss!"The first mate nodded.

A light cruiser and two destroyers from the Third Reich sank the Black Pearl and three other merchant ships in just twenty minutes. In the process Among them, the three merchant ships of the Eagle Country do not even have the ability to fight back. After all, they are not warships and have no weapons. Even if they carry some rifles as self-defense weapons, for the warships of the Third Reich Navy, It doesn't pose any threat at all

"Sir, we are monitoring the sinking of the merchant ship of Taikoo Country and sent a telegram. This should be a telegram asking for help back home. Or rather, it was the message that reported the news to their home countries."The officer was a little worried.

After all, it was a big deal for the Third Reich Navy to directly kill the country's merchant ships!

"Don't pay attention, we are just executing the orders of the Navy Command. The next affairs will be handled by the Navy Command."Major Ernst was not worried at all.

Then, under Major Ernst's order, the fleet turned directly and left this sea area. There was no intention to rescue the Eagle Country sailors who fell into the water.

This made those Eagle Country sailors The sailors of the Jiang Kingdom froze to death amidst the curses.

The light cruiser Gera and two X-class destroyers sank four merchant ships of the Eagle Kingdom. This was not an exception.

On this night, the same Scenes broke out in many places.

Many merchant ships from the Eagle Kingdom forcibly broke into the no-navigation zone of the Third Reich. What awaited them was the unscrupulous killing of the Third Reich Navy. Ship after ship of the Third Reich Navy The warships opened fire directly, sinking these merchant ships of the Eagle Country.

Countless sailors of the Eagle Country were killed or injured.

And this also caused the relationship between the Third Reich and the Eagle Country to drastically change. Worsened.

Eastern time in the United States on the afternoon of January 18, 1940, Franklin, the governor of the United States, was resting. As he got older and older, his health became worse and worse.

The heavy state affairs almost made him breathless. He was out of breath.

This made him take an hour's lunch break after lunch every day. In this way, he would have enough energy to devote to the work in the afternoon.

However, on this day, Franklin obviously could not take a lunch break.

He had just fallen asleep when his secretary woke him up.

"what happened?"Franklin's face was very ugly. He was very disgusted with his lunch break being interrupted.

"Your Excellency, the Third Reich is attacking our merchant ships. The Admiralty has received telegrams from more than a dozen merchant ships asking for help. These merchant ships were all sunk by the Third Reich Navy without exception."The secretary replied

"What? Damn the Germans, are they really coming? Is this going to start a war with Yingjiang Country?"Franklin was furious.

At this time, he ignored his lunch break. With the help of his secretary, he dressed neatly and went to the office. At this moment, in the office, Prime Minister Cordell Hull, Chief of Navy Charles Edison, and Chief of Naval Operations Harrow De Stark, Chief of War Harry Woodring, Army Chief of Staff General Marshall and others have all arrived here.

"Gentlemen, what exactly is going on?"Franklin asked

"Your Excellency, those merchant ships are all merchant ships transporting supplies to the empire on which the sun never sets. After breaking into the no-navigation zone designated by the Third Reich, they were attacked by them. This time, the attitude of the Third Reich Navy was probably very tough. It directly sank those merchant ships without giving our merchant ships any chance to explain." said Admiral Harold Stark

"asshole! They are massacring the people of Yingjiang Country and provoking us!"Franklin was furious.

He seemed to have forgotten that if these merchant ships from the Eagle Country hadn't forcibly broken into the no-navigation zone designated by the Third Reich, they would not have been attacked by the Third Reich Navy.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now? asked Cordell Hull.

"Immediately express our protest to the Third Reich and ask them to compensate for our losses. The soldiers of the Third Reich who attacked our merchant ships must be handed over to us. In addition, the Third Reich is required to abolish the no-navigation zone and lift the blockade of the Empire on which the sun never sets!"Franklin said.

Obviously, Franklin was planning to use the topic to force the Third Reich to lift the blockade.

Cordelhull nodded:"Your Excellency, the Third Reich may not accept these conditions!"

Franklin was also silent. Of course he understood. However, the attitude of the Eagle Country must be expressed. Otherwise, how could he explain to the people of the Eagle Country?

After that, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Country, Cordell Hull, immediately summoned He became the Ambassador of the Third Reich to the Eagle Country and lodged a protest with the Third Reich._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
