C851 Straits Crisis

April 15th, six Prussian battleships sailed the ocean under the banner of Ocean Training, and the crowd on the pier cheered.

The reason for this was simple: Prussia had never had a real navy. Historically, his few ships had been used as coast guards, mostly against pirates and smugglers in the North Sea and the Baltic.

Until the Pudan War of 1864, when the powerful Prussian Army used his relatively powerful naval forces to seal off almost all of the waters of northern Prussia, causing serious losses to the Prussian commercial trade.

After the war, the Prussian began to build a navy, but even until the Franco-Prussian War, the Prussian navy was still a small coastguard. Let alone fighting with the English and French, he couldn't even compete with the Dutch.

The navy really did not have many opportunities to train in the ocean, so all the families of the sailors attached great importance to the expedition. The cheers of hamburger Port were naturally thunderous.

Such a huge departure ceremony naturally couldn't escape the eyes of spies from other countries. When the six battleships just entered the high seas, the figures of British Fleet appeared in the north.

At that time, the relationship between Britain and Prussia was still very good, so no one believed that the British Navy would take the initiative to attack them.

By the time the fleet reached the Strait of Dover, the number of British Fleet in the north had already reached twelve, and the distance between the ships was still very long. It was obvious that they were afraid that Prussia would secretly send out warships to bypass the British Isles and send Prince Leopold to Spain.

The Dover Strait was filled with French naval main battleship. The pure white sails covered the sky as the gates of the war naval gun were opened. The black muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the pitiful Prussian fleet.

Flag had ordered the Prussian fleet to stop at once for inspection, in a manner that made it appear that the two countries had entered a state of war. Prussian had just defeated the veteran, now the morale of the army was at the peak of history. In addition, this race was already very proud, even if the enemy was a hundred times stronger than them, they would still not retreat.

The six battleships quickly went to the side to meet the enemy, their cannons aimed at the French battleship, the imposing manner in which they faced the battle was not weaker than French Fleet at all.

The French would not dare to fire their guns. Their goal was to prevent Prince Reopp from going to Spain, and Britain did not want to see Reopp become king of Spain, and Prussia become an army power to suppress France and Russia. That was the British plan.

Since both sides in the English and French were scheming for benefits, then the war would not be able to begin. Prussia was like a trapped beast that was being surrounded as they acted out a tragic and generous song in the Strait of Dover.

The photographers who accompanied the army took a large number of tragic photographs. The Prussian navy soldiers who were surrounded by heavy soldiers displayed a needless fighting spirit. Despite the fact that the naval battles were all fought by artillery, everyone was actually armed with a bayonet and a rifle.

This was also a move that Xiao Letian had learned from the media. In this kind of situation where they were outnumbered and outnumbered, they would have to show the courage and unyielding spirit of someone who was bullied like Prussian.

It was fine to wrap two layers of gauze around his head. The uniform was dirty, so he didn't need to be afraid of having sharp eyes. Right, right, right, the stool leg bearer next to you, stand still and I'll give you a big close-up. If you want to be wronged, you need to have three points of strength in your eyes.

The six Prussian battleships set a dead end. Even the cooks on the ships picked up their boning knives and stood on the decks. The pictures showed the limitless British and French combined forces warships.

The tougher the Prussian side was, the harder the English and French would be. They did not even dare to try and force their way onto the ship, much less fire the cannons.

As time dragged on, the Dover Strait could not be sealed forever. After the stalemate lasted for 12 hours, the number of merchant ships in the ocean started to increase, and English and French was forced to open an opening to let these merchant ships pass.

All the merchant ships that passed by the center of the battlefield were dumbfounded. Two old European powers bullying a new power, how could they be reasonable? They quickly shut their mouths and leave this place, just in case they went off on a rampage.

From that moment on, the news of the Prussian warships trapped in the Strait of Dover spread throughout Europe.

The public opinion was in an uproar, Prime Minister Bismark had even called for the Ambassador of English and French, so much so that even the guards outside the residence could hear him clearly. All the printing plant in Berlin and the hamburger were adding a number. The next morning, all the streets and alleys in Prussia were filled with newspaper boys spreading the news.

Prussian people were furious. It was clearly just an ordinary ocean-going training, but they were provoked by the enemy, especially the French, who even tried to search the warships! Don't you know that a warship is a floating territory of a country? This was a declaration of war, a declaration of war against Prussia!

The protests echoed through every city in Prussia, and the governments of the countries were greatly concerned about the incident. The holidays for the diplomats were over, and negotiations were proceeding in great intensity.

Just as the number three was spread throughout Europe, the Baltic Sea and the North Sea were shrouded in fog as the Prussian meteorologist predicted. Without any ceremony, the water gate of the Voltaire Shipyard opened and the Zhiyuan Warship began its journey back home.

In the morning, there was a large cloud of green fog, and only a few old people were fishing on the two banks of the Oder River. Suddenly, the fish that was about to be caught ran away, and a huge shadow of a boat appeared in the middle of the fog.

The elders had never seen a battleship like this before. It looked like a giant golden dragon, but it had no wings. The black ship tore through the fog and headed towards the sea. The air was filled with a faint smell of smoke.

The men who had left the fishing rods fled in all directions, fearing that the monsters on the river would attack them. The monster's body in the fog seemed to have no end. It kept moving forward and forward until it disappeared into the direction of the sea.

After entering the Baltic Sea, the orange lighting signal s were quickly found by the five scissor boat s. The fleet formed a line and silently flew towards the Denmark Sea Area.

and Xiang Ying stood inside the command cabin with their hearts in their mouths. It was the most dangerous time now, the waters from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea were completely controlled by the Denmark. A Pudan War caused their relationship to freeze, if they found any Zhiyuan Warship, the Denmark would definitely send warships to intercept them.

"What are you going to do?" Kevin looked at Xiang Ying and asked.

Xiang Ying's expression became serious and sinister, "What do we do? Collision! As long as the Denmark Navy dared to intercept them... Just sink them! "
