The transaction between the two sides was soon completed. After a group of Germans and Japanese prisoners boarded the American warship, Prince Ruprecht really dared not stay and immediately led the armored cruiser Mainz to gallop south! At this time, both House and Ingnoll, both real commanders were unable to be in charge of the board because of their serious injuries and were sent to the American ship for medical treatment. The crosser became the real master of the warship.

"What if we encounter Japanese ships?" Earl Spee asked.

"If the scale is small, kill them!" His Highness the Prince said without hesitation.

"Will this further expand the situation? After all, our previous actions can be regarded as a self-defense counterattack and then take the initiative to attack afterwards..." Hippel said with some concern.

"The British will help us and the poor. As for the Japanese? The more you beat them, the more honest they are! The winner will never be blamed!"

At this time, His Highness the prince finally understood his thoughts. Regardless of the outcome of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he had already settled his mind. The reputation of Mainz armored cruisers and the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau was also considered to be revealed? There is no way, the time traveler has made such a chance, and he is crazy about money!

Just as Mainz accelerated to move south, he encountered an unexpected guy, a slender cruiser followed him tightly! From the appearance, it seemed to be a first-class cruiser of the British. In the current Far East, the traveler can be sure that this warship should be an Edgar-class protective cruiser. Don’t say that although this guy is firepower and protection, the speed is really unspeakable. He could not shake it even if he drove a highway of 19 knots!

"The other party just followed without any action?" Ruprecht asked.

"It's like that, they've kept a distance of about 3 nautical miles," said Hippel. "But they tried to contact us and wanted to talk to you."

"Talk me?" His Highness the Prince sneered, "Reply to them that we are carrying out combat missions. We hope that the British Navy will adhere to the principle of neutrality and that if there is any inappropriate behavior, we will maintain the right to appeal!"

Why should a cruiser captain talk to himself? What can he guarantee? Doing this is a waste of time! It is better to be busy with some serious business if you have this time, for example, yes, knock out the Japanese transport ship in front of you?

Not long after the rapid sailing of the Mainz armored cruiser went south, he discovered a Japanese transport ship and several gunboats. Judging from the appearance, it was about 2,000 tons, and the draft was very deep, so he should be transporting something. The gunboats next to him were not worth mentioning.

"Rise the battle flag and send them to hell!" Ruprecht ordered. Whether it is prestige or military rank, he is the real owner of the warship. No one dares to refute his orders, and he will not refute it! When it said that if something happened, it was holding on to it, the officers and soldiers who had just held up a stomach full of evil fire and could not vent it. They were eager to tear the broiler in front of them into pieces!

"Colonel, it's a German warship! They are rushing towards us!" On the transport ship Ahamaru, a Japanese army major pointed to the murderous cruiser Mainz in the distance and said!

"How could this happen?" The Ahamaru was originally going to transport an artillery brigade to Incheon under the cover of several gunboats. According to the Japanese, the Qing Dynasty would never take action first. This escort of the fleet was just a formality, and what they could not have imagined was that the Japanese navy had met the Germans by chance. After being beaten up, the angry Germans just found themselves!

One of the gunboats went up to signal their identity and asked about their purpose. Ruprecht was naturally too lazy to talk nonsense to them! The battle flag and shells were answered! So, the Japanese Army was cheated by the Japanese Navy once! The gunboats that went up to question were covered by dense rapid-fire shells after just showing their identity as a Japanese warship. After just a few minutes, they turned into ashes in the sky with a loud bang!

"Are the Germans crazy? Did they reach some kind of agreement with the Qing Dynasty?" Nozu Daoguan had no rules in the face of such an almost dead situation. There were three gunboats and one transport ship, and the tonnage was not as large as others! This is a big deal!

The 75MM on the gunboat and the old-fashioned push guns fought back in vain. For Mainz, the little guy didn't have to bother with it, and took the matter away in one go. The two gunboats instantly turned into extra-large firecrackers in the flying rain of bullets!

"Rise the white flag! Let's surrender!" Notsu Dokun suddenly ordered that the only chance to survive now is to admit defeat. He is not a warship, so the other party should also show mercy, right?

"Stop the shells! Save shells! Use torpedo to solve them!" Ruprecht looked at the Ahamaru in the distance and showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth! In order to avoid all possible troubles and political disadvantages, the crosser's methods are completely short and fast! What else do you do with the shells? Give them a chance to surrender? The crosser cannot take this slow ship south. If he directly sinks the warship that raises the white flag, it will probably cause diplomatic pressure. Therefore, he must kill him before the other party surrenders!

Mainz quickly approached only a few hundred meters away from the other side. When the Japanese were busy preparing to raise the white flag, two torpedoes determined their final fate!

"I'll go! This is an ammunition ship!" A huge fireball rose from the sea, and the ammunition detonated by the torpedo was completely blown into pieces! Flying debris and flames directly hit the Mainz armored cruiser 700 meters away. Although it did not cause much damage to the hull, the scorching air and surging shock waves still made people feel the violent explosion!

"The Germans seem to be really angry!" The British cruiser tracking in the distance witnessed the brief and cruel massacre. Major Williams, the captain of the Edgar, put away the telescope in his hand and said.

"Are we saving the people who fell into the water?" asked an officer next to him.

"There should be no living people. We immediately go south to Qingdao, where there is a telegraph room, and we need to report this matter immediately." Williams is also clear about the ins and outs of this matter. Although Japan is the younger brother of the UK, the UK obviously cannot directly confront Germany and Russia because of this matter! It is a disadvantage and cannot be a good deal! He is just a small person, so let these things be decided by the superiors!

So, Edgar gave up the track of Mainz and turned to the Liaodong Peninsula. Mainz headed south at night to Shanghai and converged with the main force of the fleet led by Tirpitz. Although the firefight caused by the abnormal accident ended, the consequences began to ferment. As time went by, when senior officials of various countries learned about this, a storm was about to sweep the world!
