Stepping on the gangway, Colonel Horan stepped onto the battleship Dunkirk. He looked at the slightly white sky in the east, but a kind of uneasiness emerged in his heart.

After waiting for a few hours, I finally waited for now, and asked General Sur to invite him to come, but why did he always feel uneasy?

He stepped on the gangway and went up the bridge, and in a small conference room, he met General Jeansul.

Even a 10,000-ton warship is very narrow inside. Many sailors sleep on the third floor. Even the captain has only one small room. There is only such a small conference room on the entire warship.

At this time, there was smoke in the conference room. Obviously, there were already people smoking a lot of cigarettes here.

"General Jeansur, my old friend." Horan looked at the person sitting in the chair in front of him and calmed down.

The purpose of his trip was to resolve this conflict, that is, to convince the people in front of him to hand over the French Navy ships to Britain, and he came for peace.

If his conversation failed, it was obvious that his own warships would not keep this French fleet for Germany, and they would definitely sink all of them.

In this case, it would be a tragedy.

The good friend eventually became an enemy, which is the most regrettable thing, and now Colonel Holland feels like this in his heart.

"I have seen this agreement, that is to say, our French Navy has no choice?" General Jean Sur said, looking at Colonel Holland.

Although Holland was invited to come, General Sur was still disgusted when he thought of the other party's purpose. In the past, the two had fought and trained together, and were the most tacit beach ball combination, but now, the two have stood opposite each other for their respective countries.

"My old friend, I'm sorry for this. I just want to say, please see clearly that France has been betrayed by those shameful politicians of Betan! As the proud French Navy, how could he watch France fall into the control of Germany? You must have this kind of thought in your heart, right?"

Colonel Horan had prepared a lot of words, but now, when he saw General Jeansul, his mind was confused. He didn't know where to start, and he felt that these words were not suitable now.

"We may find a better way to solve the current problem," Holland continued: "We came with sincerity. As old friends, I really hope that through our efforts, we can resolve this crisis."

Holland is not a qualified lobbyist.

At the same time, in the distance, ten nautical miles away, the British fleet was waiting for the results of Colonel Holland.

In fact, Lieutenant General Somerville was not willing to go that way. No matter what, this matter seemed a bit disgraceful.

After waiting in the dark for several hours, Colonel Horan finally got on the boat after dawn. He breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Colonel Horan could convince the other party, and that everyone would be happy.

Just one side of the fleet, on the front warship, the lookout was also loyal to the French fleet in the distance.

"Their chimneys seem to be smoking." The lookout whistle shouted, his eyes staring at the high-magnification sea telescope in front of him, and looking at the harbor in the distance.

The port of Milskbeer has a breakwater, and this waveguide connects the landing land with a hill. From this direction, this hill blocks their sight, so that they can't see a part of the French warships clearly, cannot see the outline, and can only see the other's masts.

But now, you can see thick black smoke appearing next to the mast, which means that the other party is making a fire!

After World War I, almost all warships eliminated coal-burning boilers and used heavy oil boilers. After all, when replenishing, solid granular coal is more difficult to replenish than liquid heavy oil.

However, heavy oil cannot be ignited directly, so when the boiler is ignited, the direct point is not heavy oil, but diesel. First inject the diesel into the boiler, ignite it, and then spray it into the heavy oil. In the meantime, severe incomplete combustion will occur.

In this way, black smoke will appear, and when warships sail normally, the black smoke will not be large.

Now, seeing the black smoke from the anti-bombing waves opposite, the lookout post reported the situation and the news gathered on the Eagle aircraft carrier via radio.

After receiving this news, Lieutenant General Somerville was stunned. The other party was making a fire, which meant that he wanted to start. So, what is the purpose of the other party?

It can be guessed that there will be two, one is that Holland has convinced them that their fleet intends to join their own formation and set sail, while the other is that the other party intends to escape, or wants to fight with oneself!

What to do? At this time, the consequences of wrong judgments are quite serious.

"Quick, contact Colonel Horan now!" shouted Lieutenant General Somerville.

Contact Holland and see what the other party is saying! However, Holland has already gone up and cannot contact him at all!

Here, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"General, London intercepted and deciphered the French telegram." At this moment, another news came: "General Dallang ordered the six Glory-class light cruisers stationed in Algiers to set sail at full speed to Mirskbeer, and at the same time ordered the submarines of Oran to sail out of the port and prepare to occupy the attack position. The French local fleet in the port of Toulon are preparing to set sail."

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Somerville immediately clenched his fist, what was he afraid of and what was coming? Could it be that he really wanted to fire at the French warship?

The situation is already very obvious. The French are here to stabilize their own side, but at the same time, they mobilize other navies to surround their own fleet!

They came to surrender and went to England together? Of course it was impossible. If the French had this intention, how could General Sur let Holland wait for several hours before meeting him?

The French did not intend to agree to their request. Since this was the case, the crossbow operation could only carry out another alternative plan!

Although Lieutenant General Somerville has been resisting and hesitating after receiving this order, now, when it really comes to this point, he knows that he has no choice.

As a soldier, obeying orders is his duty and defeating his opponents is his top priority. Even his former friend is now an enemy!

"Note, I am Lieutenant General Somerville. Now, I will give an order to attack the French fleet with all my strength and eliminate all French warships!" Holding the microphone, he finally gave the order.

When firing on his former friends, someone will definitely hesitate. At this time, he must stand up and bear all the psychological pressure.
