Iron Germany

"Your Excellency, something is wrong. The Americans suddenly sent troops to land in the Azores. It is estimated that at this time, the entire Azores have fallen into the hands of the Americans." Major General Carmona, Chief of Staff of the Portuguese Army , reported to President Cabesadas with a look of panic.

They have just signed an agreement with the Germans to sell the Azores to Germany for 500 million marks. The Germans were very straightforward. After signing the agreement, they immediately paid 500 million marks to the Portuguese government, so that the Cabezadas government, which had just come into power, had enough funds to integrate the government and ensure the stability of the country and regime.

However, at this juncture, the Americans brazenly sent troops to occupy the Azores, which undoubtedly added a lot of variables to everything.

"The Americans occupied the Azores?" President Cabesadas was also surprised. However, then he thought that anyway, an agreement to sell the Azores had been signed with Germany, and even the money had already been obtained. Although the Azores have not yet been officially handed over, they no longer belong to Portugal, but to Germany.

"It's better for us not to get involved in the conflict between the Americans and the Germans. Anyway, the Azores is no longer our territory, so let the Germans have a headache! By the way, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wait a few hours later." Tell the Germans," President Cabesadas said with a smile.

When the Azores were sold, President Cabesadas was not willing. Now that the Americans have forcibly occupied the Azores, he is even more happy to see the Germans and Americans beat out their pig brains in order to compete for the Azores. In this case, it can be regarded as letting him vent his anger. He deliberately delayed telling the Germans for several hours, in order to make the Americans as prepared as possible in the Azores. When the German army attacks the Azores, the German army will pay a greater price in the battle.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President," Major General Carmona replied.

However, he answered quite simply. But in fact, Major General Carmona still has his own thoughts. President Cabesadas was dissatisfied with the Germans, and this seemed to give him an opportunity. If he can get the support of the Germans, will he also have the opportunity to replace Cabesadas and become the president of Portugal?

Thinking of this, Major General Carmona secretly asked the German side to inform them that the Azores had been forcibly occupied by the Americans. At the same time, the reaction of President Cabesadas was also disclosed to the German side by Major General Carmona.

The German embassy in Portugal, after learning of this situation, did not dare to neglect, and reported it to the country as soon as possible. This also allowed the imperial emperor Qin Tian to learn the news less than two hours after the US military forcibly occupied the Azores.

"Your Majesty, the Americans forcibly occupied the Azores. This is undoubtedly a plan to stop our navy. The empire will absolutely not tolerate such a thing happening." Imperial Foreign Minister Wahit said.

After receiving the telegram from the embassy in Portugal, he immediately rushed to the palace to report to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian's complexion also became very ugly. Originally, he thought that Germany planned the Portuguese coup, and then bought the Azores from the Portuguese government, so that the problem could be solved once and for all, and he could sit back and relax. However, I didn't expect that the Americans would come up with this trick and directly take the root of Germany's plan.

"Come on, let the prime minister, the minister of war and the minister of the navy come to see me immediately. The empire wants peace, and it doesn't want to go to war with the Americans so early. However, the Americans have repeatedly provoked the empire, time after time Breaking through the bottom line of the empire once. If the empire chooses to compromise again, can the empire be regarded as the most powerful country in the world? This time, the empire will never compromise again. The Americans want War, then give them war!" Qin Tian said with a dark face.

Originally, Qin Tian wanted to reduce the living space of the United States step by step, while giving priority to developing himself. At that time, Germany will not only be able to occupy a great advantage, but also be able to develop much stronger than the United States. In that case, the possibility of Germany winning the war will be further improved. However, the repeated provocations of the Americans have made him unbearable. As the saying goes, clay figurines still have three points of anger, not to mention that Qin Tian is the emperor of the most powerful empire in the world, the German Empire.

Vachite nodded, and he also believed that if he continued to give in repeatedly, the Americans would only make progress. At this time, we can only use strong force to let the Americans know that the German Empire cannot be bullied at will.

"In addition, you immediately summoned the American ambassador and issued an ultimatum to them. Either evacuate the Azores within 24 hours, or prepare to bear the wrath of the empire!" Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wahit immediately went to action.

The American ambassador knew what was going to happen when he was informed that the German foreign minister, Vachter, wanted to see him. As ambassador to Germany, he was undoubtedly one of America's most important diplomats. If his term ends, he will be able to return to China to serve as the Under Secretary of State in charge of foreign affairs. He also knows about domestic actions. Although, he has reminded the country that this is playing with fire. However, it is obvious that the group of people in the country did not take his warning seriously.

"Your Excellency, I am officially informing you that the Empire is very dissatisfied with the United States brazenly sending troops to occupy the territory of the Empire. The Empire formally requires the United States to withdraw its troops within 24 hours. Otherwise, the Empire will use all means to fight back!" Vahi Te said.

"Your country's territory? How could the United States occupy your country's territory?" The American ambassador began to play dumb. After all, the agreement signed between Germany and the Portuguese government to purchase the Azores has not yet been officially made public.

"Azores! The empire has officially bought the Azores from Portugal. The Azores you captured are the territory of the empire!" Wahit said with a dark face.

"What?" The American ambassador looked surprised.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, there must be some misunderstanding. The US government does not know that the Azores is already your country's territory. It is just a conflict between us and the Portuguese." The US ambassador argued.

"Now you know! I don't want to say more, remember, you only have 24 hours!"
