The two sides met, and the Beiyang squadron continued to go to Yashan to transport troops and supplies, while the Mainz continued to sway on the sea... At this moment, another fleet that had been hiding near the coast of North Korea gradually appeared! One hour later, three Japanese fast cruisers rushed towards the Qing fleet that was transporting supplies!

"Your Excellency Commander, it is the Qing fleet. What the information is right. Two warships escorted a transport ship to Yashan!" On the bridge of the Yoshino, a staff officer pointed to the fleet in the distance and said.

"A German ship, 2,000 Qing soldiers and 12 artillery!" Kawahara Kawahara was also weighing the trade-offs. The German fleet has not left yet and is still lingering in the Far East. If he beat the German ship at this time, what consequences will it be? Kawahara Kawahara did not encounter the Mainz armored cruiser. He only knew that the German fleet was stationed in Shanghai, and he had no idea that one of the cruisers had arrived in the north, and even this warship was under his nose!

"Send a signal to the Langsu and Akitsuju to see their opinions." Kawahara Kazuichi was still a little worried, so he decided to join forces.

"Attack them, we can sink two Beiyang cruisers and 2,000 soldiers. Even if the incident occurs, the cost we bear is to compensate a merchant ship. The Germans stay away from the local area and without the support of the base, they will not fight with us." Soon, the cruiser Langsu sent a letter back and forth, and the captain of the Akitsuzhou, Hikanosu, expressed his support for Hirahachiro Togo's opinion!

"Yes, this transaction is made by the Japanese fleet, and if you have a flexible diplomatic skill, you can also frame the Qing people!" Kawahara was about to figure it out, and he also felt that he should fight, so three Japanese cruisers rushed towards the Qing fleet in the distance with murderous intent!

Half an hour later, Colonel Von House suddenly looked northeast. There seemed to be a burst of cannon sounds coming from there. Then, more and more German officers realized that something seemed wrong in the direction of Yashan!

"I'm going? Something really happened?" The crosser immediately came down from the commander's tower and came to the bridge. At this time, Colonel Von House was arguing with Captain Ingnoll!

"We should not intervene in this battle, so we must be in a war, and according to the principle of neutrality, we should avoid both sides of the war." Captain Von Ingnoll said.

"But that's our merchant ship! As a German navy, it's impossible to protect its people, so what's the difference between a mighty warship and scrap iron?" Colonel House retorted.

"Captain Ingnoll, you must pay attention to one thing. The two sides did not declare war at this time. There is no problem of neutral clauses. Our ships are free to sail on the high seas and should not be subject to any restrictions! The German Navy should guarantee this right! If a series of consequences caused by your mistakes must be borne. I will testify to Colonel Haus!"

Time travelers don’t know what they are feeling at this time. They are nervous? Looking forward? Excited to go to the battlefield? Perhaps they are still a little scared?

Colonel Ingnoll was very nervous when it came to the advantage of Colonel House in military power and the pressure of the crosser in status. He understood very well what consequences would be if the German transport ship was sunk or captured, he could rescue him but remained indifferent! The testimony of the two was enough to make him doomed!

"We only guarantee the safety of the transport ship. We will not fire first, nor will we help any of them!" Colonel House emphasized. He was also a little depressed. If he didn't meet the Beiyang Fleet when he came, he would have nothing to do. But the key is that if you encounter it, then you have to worry!

"All personnel entered the first-level combat readiness state, let's go!" Seeing that the captain had no other reaction, Colonel Haus decisively took over the command and ordered the fleet to sail to the sea area where the accident occurred. The huge hull of Mainz drew a huge U-character on the sea. It sailed towards the sea area where the accident was at a high speed of 18 knots. What the Germans could not imagine was that there were not only Germans, but also Americans and British people on this sea surface! This sudden outbreak of battle also attracted their attention!

"We are the German Empire merchant ships. You can't order us. Our warship is nearby!" The captain of the Season, Willy, stood on the bridge and looked at the black holes of the two cruisers in the distance in fear. He kept ordering his men to repeat the flag sentence.

"Your ship is loaded with our enemies. Stop the ship and accept our orders!" The Langsu flag was circulated. As in history, the three Japanese cruisers, Yoshino, Langsu and Akitsuju, were simply overwhelmingly advantageous in the face of Jiyuan and Guangyi, the two weak chickens! In just half an hour, Guangyi was severely injured and withdrew from the battle. Fang Boqian also followed his actions in history and immediately flashed the crowd. The Yoshino began to pursue, and the other two cruisers were ready to deal with the transport ship.

"We refuse this order!" The German ship in the distance was so stubborn that he just kept on his shoulder.

The Japanese were also a little anxious. The other party just didn't surrender, so there was only one way, which was to sink! Hikaruto Komura finally ordered the naval gun to aim at the poor transport ship. The 6-inch and 4.7-inch naval guns began to roar, and orange fireballs hit the deck of the merchant ship without any protection, and flames rose! At this time, a huge figure was approaching quickly!

Although the Mainz is theoretically one hour away from the other side, this hour is calculated based on the speed of the Qing escort fleet. In fact, it is only about 9 nautical miles after conversion! The Mainz, which is advancing at full speed, can arrive in just half an hour!

"Damn it, Japan is attacking that transport ship! That's our ship!" Earl Spey pointed to the Japanese fleet shooting in the distance and said angrily! In an instant, the German naval officers and soldiers on the Mainz were immediately angry! This is definitely a provocation!

"Prepare for the battle!" On the bridge, Colonel House was preparing to issue an order.

"We asked them to stop, they dare not attack us! Our strength can crush them! If the fleet really fights, it will be troublesome!" Colonel Ingnoll suddenly said when he was hesitating. In his opinion, at least the transport ship is not sinking, then everything has room for relief. He is a diplomat, and his direction of thinking about problems is different from that of soldiers!

"What does Your Highness Prince mean?" Colonel House wiped the cold sweat from his head and turned around and asked.

"He is now commanding the tower." said the staff officer next to him.

"Immediately notify the prince of the current situation. I need to know your high prince's opinion!" As the saying goes, there is a tall man who stands up. If something can't be done, if this prince stands with him, at least he can share some pressure! Colonel House thought so.
