"Send a signal to the Germans, we are willing to talk to them about how to recover from the aftermath," Scock ordered.

"Let them come to my flagship to talk, and you can carry no more than 5 entourages." Then Hippel looked at the traffic boat at the back of the command tower, and then looked at the unrecognizable Charlemagne, the Great.

"Let our traffic boat pick up the French. I guess if we rely on them, we would have to swim here!" Hippel's half-serious and half-joking words caused laughter from the staff. "Okay, okay, be careful, don't irritate our guests, hurry up and prepare."

"This is the battleship that defeated Charlemagne!" After Scock boarded the warship, he deliberately slowed down. The gangway of the ship was far behind the middle of the warship. He carefully observed the warship. Although there were some deep or shallow pits on the side of the ship, and there were traces left by the fire in some places after the fire was extinguished, overall, the warship did not have any fatal damage in the fierce battle just now.

In his opinion, if the ammunition consumption is not considered, the warship can fight another battle! The two relatively arranged 254mm heavy artillery in the middle of the hull attracted his attention. "There are 8 second-level main guns, no wonder the German warships have such strong projection." Scock tried to record everything he saw in his head. He wanted to know what exactly caused the French fleet to lose!

"Sir, can you solve the problem faster and better?" A German officer next to him said politely, but judging from the other party's tone and movement, Scock could feel the other party's dissatisfaction and anger. This behavior of taking the opportunity to spy on warships in other countries caused great dissatisfaction among the Germans. For some unnecessary trouble, Scock accelerated his pace.

"Because of some mistakes and accidents, an unnecessary conflict occurred between the navies of the two countries. This time, I came here to resolve the problem through peaceful means. If possible, I hope your country can help the French fleet return to Dakar." Scock explained his purpose.

"You seem to have not recognized the situation yet, because your country's wrong actions have led to extremely serious consequences. Moreover, the French fleet entered the war zone we designated in advance, but the French fleet is now defeated, but it is impossible to slip away from us by relying on a mistake!" Hippel said angrily.

The French people think so well. You took the first move and were on your side. Now you can't beat me. I want to pat my butt and leave? How can such a good thing? After I go back, I don't know what you are promoting! Hippel also wants to leave these people here as witnesses and hostages!

"You want to detain the French fleet? This is an act of war!" Scock said in his heart.

"It was already an act of war when the French fleet opened fire first, and France also wanted to land in our war zone. It was your country that provoked this dispute. You must bear all the responsibility!" Hippel said sternly.

"We will never let you go to the German fleet who have attacked the German fleet. Our ceasefire is only for humanitarianism. If you reject the good intentions of the German Navy, then we don't mind continuing to fight."

"This is just a misunderstanding, and you can't bear the consequences of the war being expanded," Scock threatened.

"Does your country's laws stipulate that one party can bear no consequences after killing people due to misunderstandings? Before we came here, we had received domestic telegrams, and we resolutely counterattacked all acts that dared to challenge Germany's dignity. We have endorsed our actions, so I am not worried about any consequences. I am just a soldier and I will do things according to the order." Hippel did not retreat at all.

"You'd better recognize the reality. Captain, we have caused de facto war, so you can't expect us to let you go. Everything we do is to avoid unnecessary casualties. Therefore, what you need to do now and the only thing you can do is cooperate with us to transfer personnel. We can let the Charlemagne rush to the beach or sink itself, and then all the French navy and army personnel can be transferred to land, but all the weapons must be handed over and placed under the custody of the empire. And if you are determined, then when you return to the Charlemagne, it is the day when the war starts again!" Hippel issued an ultimatum.

"I...I accept it!" It took 5 minutes to squeeze out these words from the gap of his teeth, but this was enough for Hippel. The battle was over, and in addition to the aftermath, he needed to prepare for the possible enlarged conflict immediately.

"How many shells are there in the fleet?" The warships were not damaged much, and they could continue to fight after simple maintenance. The most important thing was ammunition consumption. In less than an hour of battle, the Bismarck Marquis took the lead in using the super high main gun rate, and the price was that the stock of shells had dropped very significantly.

"Our 10-inch main gun has about 600 rounds left, and the 6-inch secondary gun has more ammunition left, and each can reach more than 80 rounds on average." Second Lieutenant Feng Liaole replied. "However, if nothing unexpected happens, the ammunition problem can be solved quickly, because at the latest tomorrow night, a fleet of American transport ships will arrive here and provide us with much-needed ammunition and supplies."

"That's good, there's no big problem. The news of the failure of the French fleet has been transmitted to Dakar in time. Then the news is transmitted to the French mainland and then make a decision. It will be three days later. The fleet will be able to get supplies tomorrow. Within 4 days, the fleet of Count Spee's fleet can arrive here. At that time, four German main battleships will gather here. Unless the French send their Mediterranean or Atlantic fleet main force here, it will be useless to rely solely on several French warships in Dakar!

Of course, while busy with these things, Hippel did not forget to inform the German senior management immediately. Such a big thing is not something he can decide. The next step is to stick to or directly reach Dakar to block the French, Berlin, must make a decision.

While the Germans were doing this, a French radio relay ship cruising on the periphery was telegraphed by Charlemagne before surrender. After some twists and turns, the telegraph was forwarded to Paris, which also indicates that the confrontation between France and Germany has reached a new stage!
