As soon as the visitors had crossed the Strait of Malacca and had not yet entered the South China Sea region of the Celestial Empire, they received a warning telegram from China.

And the arrival of this telegram made everyone around Mainz feel very nervous!

"General, why don't we take a detour, don't pass through the coastal waters of the Celestial Empire, bypass the Celestial Empire's Duwan Island from the Bass Strait, and then enter the Yellow Sea and other places, and then go to the capital of the Celestial Empire!"

In order to avoid the threat of the Nanyue fleet, many people suggested that Mainz should change course, bypass the coastal waters of the Celestial Empire, and take a long route to the north.

Mainz rejected the offer outright, and in his opinion, it was no different from fleeing!

"This matter has become a hot event in the world, many countries are watching our every move, if we choose to avoid its edge at this time, it is likely to be regarded as a sign of weakness and cowardice, which is related to the national prestige of our Hans, and also related to the reputation of our German army, so I will not take a detour, continue to maintain the established route, continue to go north!"

Mainz's decision was so firm that everyone couldn't convince him, so he had to give up in the end!

And when the countries saw that the German formation did not stop at Lijiapo after passing through the Strait of Malacca, but did not stop for a moment, and directly chose to go north, they all admired it very much!

Regardless of the outcome afterwards, the courage and courage of the commander-in-chief of the three German armies are already worthy of their admiration!

Yangcheng, the capital of southern Guangdong, Sun Zhongshan was also a little surprised after receiving the news.

The reason why he ordered the fleet to be dispatched was, of course, not to sink the German ships or to murder the German defense minister, but to force the other side back and prevent the other side from going to the north to carry out a visit to the Beiyang government.

But now that the other party has made it clear that he wants to continue to go north, the pressure has come to his side!

Do they continue to go to sea to intercept, or give up?

If they continue to intercept, then they will really be the enemy of Hans, although Hans no longer has the strength to expedition to the Celestial Empire at this time, and their high seas fleet has been destroyed, so Hans poses little threat to the Celestial Empire, but Hans is a European power after all, and if Hans is completely offended, it is not a good thing for the revolutionary government.

Once Hans provided a large amount of military support to those warlords in Beiyang, the difficulty of the revolutionary government's northern expedition in the future would increase exponentially!

After thinking about it like this, Sun Zhongshan felt that he still couldn't be reckless.

If they could, they could take this opportunity to get in touch with Hans and see if they could get Hans's support!

Sun Zhongshan had studied abroad, so he knew very well that foreigners, those European and American countries in the West, they all valued interests, so Hans's defense minister went to visit the Beiyang government, not that they really wholeheartedly supported the Beiyang government and wanted to oppose the revolutionary government.

But the Beiyang government has money in its hands and can buy arms and all kinds of products from them, and the interests in this are what attract the Hans people!

Thinking about this clearly, Sun Zhongshan made a decision, he planned to go to sea in person and go to the sea to meet secretly with the young defense minister of Hans.

According to the information they currently have, this young man from the military may be the next national leader of Hans, if they can find out his character and figure out his intentions, it will be of great help to the future diplomatic strategy of the Celestial Empire!

To be honest, Mainz did not expect that the Southerners would actively seek to meet with him, and in this way.

So when the two met at sea and the other party invited Mainz to a meeting, Mainz was stunned.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm not at all

"General, you must not go, this is too dangerous!"

"Yes, General, if the other party had good intentions, then I wouldn't have asked you to meet on their warship, which clearly wanted to kidnap you!"

The reaction of everyone was surprisingly unanimous, and they all thought that it was a trap on the other side.

From a practical point of view, this possibility is really quite large, and the other side sent a cruiser to stop them, and then invited Hans's defense minister to meet on the other side's warship, which cannot be regarded as a friendly act by any means.

"What are you afraid of, you're here, what if you go to see each other?"

Mainz was not so worried, he thought about it after he came to his senses, killing himself did not have any benefit to the Celestial Empire, Hans and the Celestial Empire were not neighbors, and he had no thoughts about the Celestial Empire, and it did not make any sense to the Celestial Empire to be an enemy of such a country that was neither a hostile country, nor a target country, or even a country on the same continent!

But if the identity of Mainz is changed at this time, and it is replaced by those high-ranking officials of the Beiyang government, maybe the Nanyue regime will really do it, but for him as a foreigner, the possibility of the other party doing it is very low!

"But your safety ......"

"Dönitz!"

Hearing that the crowd was still here to object, Mainz called the commander of the Navy, Dönitz, over.

"General, what do you command?"

Dönitz did not say a word, and had no intention of persuading Mainz at all.

On the contrary, he was always on standby, ready to carry out Mainz's orders, so when he heard Mainz call his name, he immediately walked over.

"Restrain the fleet, don't act rashly, and don't fire without my orders!"

"Understood!"

Dönitz simply carried out the order, without saying a word or asking much!

Mainz glanced at the battleships flying the flag that never sets in the sun behind him, he was not worried about the attack of the Celestial Empire, but the attack of these people who never set, at this time, in the situation of saber rattling between the two sides, as long as either side carelessly cares about the misfire, the two sides with a nervous spirit may break out into a violent conflict.

Therefore, the sun never sets is the existence that should be guarded against the most, and the focus of everyone's attention is wrong!

"Mr. Sun, it's been half an hour, did you say the other party would come over?"

Next to the father of the nation, who was over half a hundred years old, a young man with glasses said in a contemptuous tone: "I don't think the other party dares to come over!"

The young man's name is Wang Jingwei, who is a local cadre in Nanyue at this time, and he is also one of the juniors that Sun Zhongshan admires very much.

Hearing the young man's words, Sun Guofu turned his head to look at him, and then said to the other person, "Zhongzheng, what do you mean?"

The young man surnamed Jiang is currently a powerful figure in the Nanyue military, and he is also trusted by Sun Guofu, and he is one of the military rookies he is more optimistic about.

"Sir, I think there is a good chance that Major General Mainz will come over!"

"Oh, why?"

Hearing this, Sun Guofu immediately became interested.

"I have studied this person, this person is courageous, wise and brave, once he hears that you are here, he will not give up the opportunity to contact you because he is afraid, so he will definitely come!"

"Hehe, is that so?"

Hearing the other party's sycophant, as if he was saying that he was very famous abroad, a smile appeared on Sun Guofu's face.

Even though he knew that it was just sycophants and not reality, he was still very happy.

After all, who doesn't love to be in a top hat?

"That's right, this person has been to our country before, and he should know the situation in my country very well, so he must know your status and weight in our country, this time since you have personally come out, he knows the news, and he will definitely not let go of this opportunity, I think he will come over soon!"

Before the words fell, the boat was lowered on the German battleship opposite, and a young rear admiral in a black uniform boarded the ship!

"Seemingly, you guessed it, he came!"
