Jagged Germany

   "Your Excellency, the Germans have issued an ultimatum to us, asking us to evacuate the Azores within 24 hours. Otherwise, they will use all means to fight back." US Secretary of State Bryan said.

   "Why? In such a hurry? Didn't the ambassador to Germany explain to the Germans that this was a misunderstanding?" President Woodrow Wilson said with a smile. The so-called misunderstanding is simply a joke. Just to waste a little more time. In this way, the United States can be more fully prepared in the Azores. But it's a pity that the Germans don't seem to be fooled!

  "The Germans reacted violently. They didn't listen to our explanation at all, and made the request directly as if they were giving an order." Bryan said.

  President Woodrow Wilson nodded: "It's no wonder, who made Germany the world's hegemon and the world's most powerful country! They are already qualified to be so arrogant and arrogant."

"Gentlemen, how are our preparations? The German counterattack may come soon. If we can hold the Azores and force Germany to recognize that the Azores belong to us, it will be a great deal for the Republic of America. , will be a huge victory. If we fail again, then we will definitely suffer a lot of losses." President Woodrow Wilson said.

"Your Excellency, we are preparing. The Atlantic Fleet is already in the waters near the Azores, waiting for a fighter plane. The 1st Division of the Marine Corps has landed in the Azores and is now building fortifications. In addition, the Marine Corps The 2nd Division of the team and the 1st Brigade of the British Marine Corps will also land in the Azores in the next two days. In this case, our troops deployed on the island will reach more than 40,000 people. It is equivalent to the Azores Judging from the area of ​​the Azores, this density is already very high. At that time, if the Germans want to retake the Azores, they will pay a heavy price for it." Minister Daniels said.

  Woodrow? President Wilson nodded. Will everything they planned soon cause the Germans to smash their heads in the Azores? Whether the Germans paid a heavy price on the archipelago, or had to abandon the Azores after shedding blood. This is very beneficial to the United States. In that case, they will be able to maintain their occupation of the Azores and build it into a bridgehead against the European continent.

  Of course, if the German army is too strong to make the US operation fail this time, then they can only retreat. After all, the strength of the United States is not as good as that of Germany now, and it does not have the strength to fight an all-out war with Germany. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate for the scale of the war to be limited only to the periphery of the Azores. In this case, even if it fails, it will not hurt the United States.

"Gentlemen, although the Germans are stronger than us. However, I hope that we can use our actions again and again to weaken the Germans and accumulate sufficient conditions for defeating them in the future. In this case, I believe that we will win in the future." Yes," said President Woodrow Wilson.

   "God bless the Republic of America!" Other senior U.S. government officials prayed to God one after another, as if this would bring them greater confidence.

  On the Azores, the 1st Division of the US Marine Corps is constructing fortifications intensely. They need to buy mines on the beach, pull up barbed wire, and dig trenches. At the same time, artillery positions had to be established on the mountain. In this way, the range of the artillery fire is larger, which can ensure that when the German army lands, it can cause the greatest damage to them as much as possible.

  Because of time constraints, the 1st Division of the US Marine Corps even forced the local indigenous residents to help them build fortifications so that everything could be prepared before the Germans launched a counterattack.

  This made the local aborigines in bad luck. After Portugal sold the Azores to Germany, according to the agreement, the residents of these islands would be repatriated to Portugal. However, before these people could be transported to Portugal, the Americans occupied the Azores, which saved the Portuguese government from spending a lot of manpower and financial resources to transport these indigenous people. The Germans and the Americans were fighting in the Azores, and the natives would surely suffer heavy casualties. At that time, when the battle is over, there will probably not be many natives left. This undoubtedly saved a lot of things for the Portuguese government.

  On the sea not far from the Azores, the huge US Navy Atlantic Fleet is cruising. The entire fleet consists of eleven capital ships as the main force of the fleet. Other small and medium warships are even more layer upon layer. If the supply ships are included, the size of the entire fleet exceeds one hundred ships.

  Aboard the flagship battleship 'Colorado', Admiral Henry Mayo, commander of the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet, was in high spirits this time. In the last sea confrontation, after receiving the order, they had to lead the fleet back to the United States, which made him feel very ashamed. And this time, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. Only the U.S. Navy can defeat the German Navy, so not only will it be able to wash away the shame, but he will also rise to prominence.

   Of course, Admiral Henry Mayo knew that it would be very difficult to defeat the German Navy. Maybe even if you try your best, you won't be able to succeed. Once it fails, the U.S. Navy will inevitably be hit hard. And he, the fleet commander, will definitely be implicated. Therefore, for Admiral Henry Mayo, this is tantamount to betting on his own future and destiny!

  Admiral Henry Mayo hoped that he could gain the favor of God and win this battle. However, the development of facts is often independent of human will. It is not that simple for the U.S. Navy to win.

   "Report, General, Telegram from Washington." A communications officer handed a telegram to Admiral Henry Mayo.

Admiral Henry Mayo looked serious after reading it: "Gentlemen, the Germans have given us an ultimatum, requiring our troops who landed in the Azores to leave within 24 hours. There is no doubt that the Empire will follow They launched an attack. The most severe test for pushing them is coming soon."

   "From now on, everyone cancels pedicures and enters a state of combat readiness. This time, we must defeat the Germans!" Admiral Henry Mayo said.
