"Tell those Chinese that they have no right to inspect our warships and merchant ships. This is the sea-moving territory of the German Empire. ◎If they want to force the ship, unless we sink us!" Lieutenant General Philip issued an order. Faced with the unreasonable request of the Chinese Navy, he chose to refuse. What's more, the more than 10,000 German Army officers and soldiers on the transport ship could not be allowed to be inspected by the Chinese Navy in any case. In that case, wouldn't it be that the handle was taken to the hands of the Chinese Navy?

The German Navy refused to board the Chinese Navy for inspection, so the Chinese Navy would naturally not let them pass. According to the information obtained before, the Chinese Navy already suspected that these German merchant ships were carrying the officers and soldiers of the German Army. If these German troops were allowed to go to the Persian Kingdom, it would undoubtedly add variables to the Apo War. Now, the Kingdom of Afghanistan is about to win, but if the German Army joins the war, the outcome will be unpredictable. Unless the Chinese Army also immediately enters the Persian Kingdom to fight. However, in that case, the Chinese Empire will be equivalent to a real breakup with the German Empire.

If the German army could be intercepted and prevented from entering the Persian Kingdom, this would undoubtedly be the easiest way to solve the problem. Therefore, the Imperial Navy specially dispatched the 11th Squadron to the northern Arabian Sea.

The 11th Squadron of the Chinese Navy and the German Navy confronted the northern Arabian Sea. The main guns of the two "Eastern Han-class" battleships of the Imperial Navy have already targeted the German Navy's warships. If they did not obey the advice and forced them to break through, they would open fire. Of course, the German Navy would not really make such a move. That would make the current situation even more complicated. If the gun goes off, the consequences would be unimaginable. Moreover, this time the Germans were just doing it for the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and they did not really want to send troops to the Persian Kingdom. As for the oil resources of the Persian Kingdom, they had decided to give up when they could not obtain it.

Lieutenant General Philip reported the news that the fleet was intercepted by the Chinese Navy to the country, and then ordered the fleet to remain restrained and avoid fire. In addition, he was waiting for the results of negotiations between the country and the Chinese Empire. However, Lieutenant General Philip knew that they must have returned in vain this time and probably had to escort the army's troops back. For the navy, this trip was not a loss. This long-range navigation of 1,000 kilometers made the German Navy show many shortcomings, which made them need to strengthen their training in the future.

The confrontation between the Chinese Navy and the German Navy in the northern Arabian Sea also attracted the attention of the whole world. Some pessimistic people even believe that this is very likely to become the fuse of a new world war. Wars will break out between China and Germany, and the rest of the countries will inevitably be involved. Many countries hope that China and Germany can restrain themselves. After all, it has not been long since the end of the world war. If the war starts again now, it will undoubtedly force them all to the dead end! Especially the countries that were defeated last time, many of them have not recovered from their failure.

After Lieutenant General Philip's telegram returned, the German Foreign Ministry immediately began to perform on stage. First, German Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron condemned the Chinese Navy's behavior, believing that the Chinese Navy hindered the German Navy's freedom of navigation in the high seas. In addition, China's arbitrary act of hegemony by one country to determine other countries is also worthy of condemnation by other countries.

However, the accusation of German Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire denied it. Wei Yuan, the Foreign Minister of the Chinese Empire, proposed that the Apo War is a war between the Kingdom of Afghanistan and the Kingdom of Persia. The rest of the countries should remain neutral in this war. The Chinese Empire warned other countries not to participate in this war. This is to undermine the stability and peace in West Asia. If any country does not take the warning of the Chinese Empire seriously, the Chinese Empire will launch a new counterattack.

The Chinese Empire and Germany's gunpowder-flavored diplomatic statements have made the confrontation between the two countries even more serious. At the same time, the possibility of conflicts between the two countries seems to be getting higher and higher, which makes the people of both countries and even the people of the world worry about a war between the two countries. The Chinese Empire and the German Empire are the two most powerful countries in the world. If a war breaks out between the two countries, it is almost impossible for the rest of the countries to survive alone.

In fact, the statements and accusations issued by the Chinese Empire and the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs are just superficial efforts and are for others to see. In fact, the Chinese Empire and the German Empire have already been playing privately.

Wei Yuan, Foreign Minister of the Chinese Empire, and Klaus, Ambassador of the German Empire to China, hold talks almost every afternoon. However, from the moment, there is no definite result in the talks.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, the actions of the Chinese Empire have seriously undermined the freedom of navigation in the high seas of the German Empire's navy. This is a provocation to the German Empire, and the German Empire cannot accept such a thing!" Ambassador Klaus looked angry, as if his wife had been abducted.

"No, Your Excellency Ambassador. The Chinese Empire has long warned all countries that no country can intervene in the war between the Persian Kingdom and the Afghan Kingdom. However, based on the information we have obtained, your country's intention to transport troops to the Persian Kingdom, which is contrary to the Empire's warning! The Imperial Navy of course has to intercept your country's fleet. If the materials transported by your country to the Persian Kingdom do not include troops or other war-related materials, the Imperial Navy can let go!" Wei Yuan said with a cold face. The Empire's plan to destroy the Persian Kingdom cannot be lost and must not be destroyed by other countries. Therefore, the Empire will never allow the Germans to transport troops to the Persian Kingdom.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, those transporters on merchant ships are workers of German oil development companies. We signed an oil development agreement with the Kingdom of Persia, and they are going to develop the oil there. As for weapons and equipment, there must be some. After all, the Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Afghanistan are fighting, and we must ensure the safety of our citizens!" Ambassador Klaus would never admit that those who transported the merchant ships were German soldiers, even volunteer soldiers would not do it. Otherwise, if the Chinese Empire also announced that volunteer soldiers would be sent to the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the scale of the war would only become larger and larger. And Germany would not take any advantage. After all, Germany's power in the Middle East could not be compared with the Chinese Empire. The huge army of the Chinese Empire could easily invest more troops into the Kingdom of Afghanistan. But Germany could not do it.

"Amistantor, even a three-year-old child would not believe this lie. If Germany wants to develop oil from the Persian Kingdom, it may have to wait until the war is over. After the two countries decide the outcome, it will be not too late for Germany to develop it again!" Wei Yuan said with a smile.

"Damn it, after the war is over, the Persian Kingdom has been destroyed. Will the Kingdom of Afghanistan agree to Germany to extract oil in Huzistan Province? I can tell with my toes that it is impossible!" Ambassador Klaus cursed in his heart. He knew that all this was a conspiracy of the Chinese Empire, but he had no choice. Who said that the Chinese Empire now has an absolute advantage?

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, Germany lacks oil resources and now consumes oil more and more. If our oil extraction in Huzistein Province is affected, it will probably affect the development of domestic industry and economy. Germany would not be willing to accept such a result!" Ambassador Klaus continued. If the Chinese Empire had not made any moves, Germany might have obtained the oil mined from Huzistein Province.

"Amistantor, let's do this. Regarding the issue of oil, the Empire can provide oil to the German Empire. And the price is more than two Huayuan per ton. The Empire can directly provide oil to Germany at two Huayuan." Wei Yuan said. As oil began to be produced in the Bugege oil field, the empire's oil exploitation volume increased greatly. In addition to domestic oil use, there is also a large amount of oil that can be sold to other countries. Since the Germans want it, it may not be possible to sell it to them.

As for where the Germans would use this oil, it was not something the Chinese Empire could consider. Now the empire can make oil from the German Empire, and in the future the empire can also find a reason to cut off the supply of oil to the Germans. At that time, the Germans' situation will be even more miserable.

Ambassador Klaus nodded, but he couldn't make a decision and had to report to the country.

The next day, Ambassador Klaus once again went to the Imperial Foreign Ministry and the Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yan to hold talks. Ambassador Klaus accepted the conditions of the Chinese Empire, and Germany could stop oil extraction and exploration in Huzistan Province. However, the Chinese Empire needed to sign a five-year oil supply contract with Germany, and Germany required the Chinese Empire to provide Germany with 10 million tons of oil per ton per year at a price of two Chinese yuan per ton.

The Chinese Empire did not seem to hesitate and agreed. Although Germany consumed not much oil now, oil demand will soon increase explosively. By then, 10 million tons may not be enough. As for the price, although it is a little lower, oil extraction in the Middle East is very difficult and the cost is very low. Even if it is two Chinese yuan per ton, some will be profitable.

After the Chinese Empire and the German Empire reached an agreement, the German Navy began to escort the fleet away from the northern Arabian Sea and returned to Europe. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
