.When everyone saw the opponent's warship being hit by a shell and the first spark rose, everyone's thoughts were completely different.

Damn German, he actually wanted to bully the big one with the small one. Okay, let me see how I deal with you! - Captain of the American cruiser "Buffalo", Colonel Jim, when the German destroyer "Frechel" was firing at his warship more than 3,000 yards away from him.

Damn Americans, they dare to offend the German Imperial Navy. I want you to be punished the most severely! - Lieutenant Colonel Walter, the captain of the German destroyer "Freichel", was at that time when his warship was being violently bombarded by two cruisers from the other side.

It's a prank, Jim, who actually involved us in a face-to-face battle with the Germans, and I don't know what terrible consequences will be! Alas, Jim is the main responsibility, so I will fight him, I hope not to beat the Germans too badly. - Colonel Philip, the captain of the American cruiser "Mabohead", because the German destroyer concentrated its firepower to attack the "Buffalo", his warship was fashionable and unscathed.

The bastard American dared to provoke the German Empire. Walter, who is good, must beat me hard. I will take any responsibility! - Colonel Wiesenberg, the captain of the German cruiser "Hausen", was rushing to the battlefield and joined the battle in 5 minutes.

Damn it, I don't want to fight when I come here. If a shell accidentally hits here, the country will lose an extremely excellent intelligence officer. No, I have to find a safer place. But where is it safer? - Major Novo, the US intelligence officer, was in the command tower of the cruiser "Buffalo" at that time, and one of the most unsafe places in the battle.

The premonition of misfortune is always the most effective! However, since the battle has begun, let them take a good look at the power of the German Navy! - Major Andre, deputy captain of the German destroyer "Frechel", is a young officer with a promising future.

Is it possible to test the reaction of such a united, powerful and honor-first country and its army when it is violated? Oh my God, I really don’t know what the officials of Washington think! Look at the reactions of those Germans, they may have reached the level of being ready to die! Alas, chess pieces. We are all chess pieces! - Major Daniel, the special observer of the United States Central Committee, a mysterious figure with important tasks.

What? The American ship outside has not sunk yet? Well, let's invite it to eat a few more shells! The German destroyer "Frechel", Sergeant Schneider, the main turret artillery commander of the USS., was an old seaman who served in the German Navy for more than 7 years. He has won the battle medal twice. The two Strength Millimeter cannons in his command area hit the American cruiser "Buffalo" for the first time.

Putting out the fire——Person No. lieutenant, the pilot of the carrier-based aircraft of the US cruiser "Buffalo", was ignited by artillery fire at the beginning of the battle, and quickly turned to ashes after 30 seconds.

Oh God. What a wonderful battle scene! - All the crews of the Brazilian Navy's "Bakabal" submarine, when the German sailors had boarded the boat, they became the most loyal spectators throughout the battle.

Beat up the fucking Americans! - The captain and water count on the seven 10,000-ton cargo ships in the German G512 team used the 105mm rapid-fire cannon on the ship to attack the American cruiser, but unfortunately the other party was always outside the range.

Before the "Hausen" joined the battle, the 2,100-ton "Frechel" had to fight alone with two American light cruisers. Among them, the "Buffalo" was launched in 1908, with a displacement of 5,750 tons, equipped with 4 203mm ships, 10 120mm guns, and 2 double-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes. Among them, 4 203mm main guns were equipped with one at the head and tail of the ship in a dual manner. 10 120mm guns were single-mounted.

It is equipped on both sides of the warship, and there are also several 40mm and 20mm machine guns, with a maximum speed of 30 knots; the "Mabohaide" was launched in 1907. It has a displacement of 5,500 tons, equipped with 6 152mm naval guns, 8 105mm rapid fire, 2 double-mounted 533mm torpedo tubes, 6 152mm main guns are divided into 3 double-mounted turrets, with two front two rear one configuration, and the 105mm secondary gun is equipped with a single-mounted turret on both sides, with a maximum speed of 28 knots.

Judging from the data alone, the "Frechel" was at an absolute disadvantage, but the reason why Captain Wall dared to challenge the other side was not just courage. At a distance of less than 4,000 yards, the 203mm main gun and 152mm main gun of the two American cruisers did not have the advantage of range, and the rate of fire was still at a disadvantage in front of the 120mm double-mounted gun of the German ship. In terms of shooting accuracy, both sides in high-speed sports had hit rates.

The decline, except for the first shot of the "Frechel" and two shells hit the middle and rear of the "Buffalo", the second and third volleys were only shots, and the fourth volleys were all lost. Another result of the high-speed movement was that both sides easily avoided the torpedoes fired by the other side. One torpedo could only helplessly drag a white line composed of bubbles on the sea surface, and then sank into the sea silently after exhausting the fuel.

The Germans soon discovered that the artillery skills of the American sailors were not much stronger than those of the British. The powerful 203mm gun of the Buffalo almost became the drummer of the fleet. The rumbling sound of cannons resounded through the sea, and one round of shells only stirred up the high and large water columns. At best, it only made the German destroyers bump into the waves they set off. The results were even worse than those 120mm secondary guns. Three 120mm armor-piercing bombs hit the "Frechel" one after another.

A big hole was blown up on the starboard side, and one shot through the chimney and fell into the port side sea. Another one was the most thrilling, falling into the sailor's restaurant and blew it up. Fortunately, even the chef was not in the restaurant at that time, so no casualties were caused. In contrast, the 152mm main gun of the "Mabohead" was much more threatening to the "Frechel". Although only one shot hit the target directly, the damage caused by more near-range bomb loss cannot be underestimated.

Fortunately, the "Frechel" was a new destroyer designed in 1917 and completed in 1918. The displacement of 2,100 tons is nearly twice that of previous destroyers. It also absorbed many teachings in the German-British naval battle, which enabled the ship to find a better balance in firepower, defense, speed and endurance. Although it was a light ship, German ship designers did not forget the survivability of the warships. Six boilers and two turbines were placed in two groups in separate compartments. Even if one of the compartments was hit, the entire ship would not lose power. This bayonet-class destroyer uses a fully fuel-fired boiler. It can carry 650 tons of heavy oil, a cruising capacity of 3,000 nautical miles, and a maximum speed of 30 knots.

In the first 5 minutes of artillery bombardment, the Fleicher ate 4 medium-caliber shells and more than 10 rounds of missing rounds. The bottom bay was slightly leaking, but it basically did not affect the combat capability of the ship. During this period, the German gunners performed as well as before. Their 120mm gun hit the US ship "Buffalo" once. I saw thick smoke rolling on the deck of the unfortunate light cruiser and the flames soared into the sky. Although the speed did not decrease, the speed of the main gun had greatly reduced.

At this moment, four 152mm shells burst out four high water columns around the Buffalo. The falling splashes may help alleviate the fire above, but more importantly, they announced a change in the battlefield situation - the German Guardian-class cruiser "Hausen", whose single ship is capable of matching the Buffalo or Maboheide, finally joined the battle.

Seeing that his younger brother was beaten with bullet marks, the soldiers on the Hausen were very angry. As soon as they entered the torpedo range, four torpedoes rushed out without hesitation, hitting the other party directly was not their main purpose. After forcing two American light cruisers to twist their bodies to avoid it, the 152mm cannon on the Hausen began to show its power.

The shells fired from the Hausen were given priority to the injured Buffalo. After a volley of the German ship, only four water columns rose around the Buffalo. Needless to say, the other two were either hitting the deck of Buffalo or drilling into its hull. Although the US military industry is strong, even the traditional naval power, Britain was slightly inferior to the Germans in terms of armor-piercing bomb technology, let alone the US Navy, which had not met an enemy for many years. After a burst of flames, the black smoke from the Buffalo became even stronger, but so far, the water above has not yet chosen to jump into the sea to escape. It seems that despite the fierce fire, the ship has not yet sunk for the time being.

Their flagship was severely damaged. The "Mabohaide" concentrated its firepower on the ship to bombard the German cruiser that had just joined the battle, while blocking between the "Buffalo" and the German ship. The commander of the "Buffalo" understood it and immediately commanded the warships above the deck to escape from the battlefield. The "Hausen" was a new ship launched in 1917, but after all, it only had a light cruiser-level defense. After ate a 152mm shell from "Mabohaide",

A fire ignited on its starboard side, and the rolling smoke quickly blackened its brand new hull. Fortunately, the fire was not very big. With the efforts of the sailors, the fire was quickly controlled, and the cruiser persevered in pursuing the US fleet with the Fleicher. It was not until the Mabohead released the smoke and turned around to release a row of torpedoes to cover its retreat that the two German warships reluctantly withdrew from the battle. They quickly returned to the fleet and were warmly welcomed by the sailors.

At 5 pm, the German fleet code-named G12 met with a Chilean cruiser and was not attacked since then. Under the escort of the Chilean fleet, it finally arrived at the port of Val Paso in Chile. In addition to the military supplies such as firearms and ammunition, the most important thing was undoubtedly a whole squadron of owl bombers. This was also the first time that the German heavy bomber troops were deployed to Chile. All the pilots, technicians and aircraft crews of the bomber squadron had arrived in Chile in advance. Conventional bombing was only one of their tasks. Together with the ground troops of Leto and Folkbell, they were most looking forward to completing a seemingly impossible task.

On the night after the war, two injured American light cruisers sailed in shame into the port of Salvador, Brazil, which had not been blocked, and carried out three-day emergency repairs there, and then returned to the United States in disgrace. The result of the naval battle naturally did not satisfy the Americans. The "Maboheide" had to enter the dock for a two-month overhaul, and the "Buffalo" was directly retired. A total of 79 American sailors were killed in the entire naval battle, and more than 100 others suffered varying degrees of trauma. As an ally of the United States, the Brazilians lost their two most precious submarines, one of which was captured by the Germans and transferred to the Chilean Navy. Although there was no outstanding record in the following years, they trained the first batch of submarine cadets for the Chilean Navy.

In the second week after the naval war, Major Daniel, a special observer in the central government who participated in the battle with the Buffalo, submitted a report directly to the White House. The report details the entire process of the naval war, and conducted a limited assessment of the naval war between the two sides in terms of ship performance, commander performance, sailor technology, morale, etc., especially the courage and wisdom displayed by German destroyer officers and soldiers under disadvantage. At the end of the report, the observer wrote his own personal opinion: it was an extremely terrible navy. Although their history was not long, they were full of fighting spirit and well-trained, with the qualities of officers and soldiers, with a reasonable age structure in the command layer, and the rulers knew how to dominate his navy. It was recommended that any form of head conflict with this navy should be avoided when the US Navy did not have absolute advantages.

On the day of the end of the naval war, Berlin responded quickly to the matter. The German Foreign Minister urgently gave a note to the US ambassador, strongly protesting and condemning the US Navy's move, and warned that if similar incidents occur, Germany has the right to take retaliatory actions and does not send any possibility of continued escalation! The next day, German Prime Minister Bateman personally announced the details and actual losses of the naval warfare to the whole country, and made it famous that although the German destroyer fired the first shot in the naval warfare, the US warship had already substantially threatened the safety of the German warships and fleets. This move was only a reasonable self-defense counterattack.

On the same day, Washington also responded, accusing the German warship of firing the first shot in the conflict and causing nearly 200 casualties of US naval officers and soldiers. The public opinion in the United States also favored the government. However, since neither government intends to expand the matter, the representatives of the two countries finally sat down at the negotiating table and signed the "German-US-South American-South American Battlefield Non-Aggression Treaty" on June 15, 1919, stipulating that the troops of both sides must not directly attack or participate in direct attack on the other party in the South American war zone. If the accidental attack is unavoidable, they must double compensate the other party for their losses afterwards.
