Chapter 385: Arrival in Hawaii

Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian archipelago consists of 8 main islands (4 large and 4 small), 124 small islands, and reefs and minarets surrounding each island.

The eight main islands are, in order of latitude, Kauai, Niihau, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, Kahulawe, and Hawaii (also known as the Big Island, the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago).

In 1898, the United States annexed Hawaii, and in 1959 Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States. This place is not only a world tourist destination, but also a witness to the beginning and end of war.

In the early morning of December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, paralyzing the main force of the United States Navy and Air Force in the western Pacific, and thus triggering the war in the Pacific region of World War II. After the war, the United States established the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor to tell the story of the tragedy to the millions of visitors who visit Hawaii each year.

At 9:02 a.m. on September 2, 1945, the USS Missouri, an American battleship moored in Tokyo Bay, Japan, became the site where Japan signed its unconditional surrender, bringing World War II to an end. Beginning in 1999, the USS Missouri was converted into a memorial ship and anchored in Pearl Harbor on Oahu, Hawaii.

Oahu is the most populous island in the Hawaiian archipelago and the human and economic center of the state of Hawaii. The island has a population of about 840,000, accounting for more than two-thirds of the total population of the state of Hawaii. Lake Island is the third-largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago by area, with a total area of 608 square miles, which is only one-seventh the size of the island.

The island is also home to Honolulu, Hawaii's capital city, a city of more than 400,000 people with a port and an international airport. Famous tourist attractions such as Waikiki Beach, Hanauma Bay, Pearl Harbor, etc., are located on the island.

Sun, sand, sea...... The Hawaiian Islands of yesteryear are infinitely beautiful and are a place of yearning for tourists from all over the world. The scenery of Hawaii is still the same, and it has not been affected much by the war, but it has lost its popularity.

Bikini beauties are no longer visible on the beach, and there is no anger in the city.

Pearl Harbor has arrived, with the Quantum Sisters cruise ship and the Victoria all arriving, and two luxurious palaces floating on the sea. These two palaces, one called the "Palace of Poseidon" and the other called the "Palace of the Holy Light", are the "shuttle" between the Temple of the Gods and the Holy Religion.

Extraordinary people from all over the world have landed on Oahu and are housed in luxury hotels in Honolulu. The entire ordinary mortal inhabitants of Hawaii have been transferred away from Hawaii Island, and the vast majority of mortals are afraid of these transcendents, who will feel like they are in the same cage as a pack of tigers. Only a handful of mortals wanted to witness the event, and they stayed on the island secretly.

The "War Investigation Committee", which is composed of all the countries of the world, has long been ready and plans to investigate each and every other. Investigate their activities over the past year, conduct psychological evaluations on them, and so on. As for the future of the Transcendent Realm, we will have to wait until this investigation is over to make a decision.

Oahu has now seen more than 50,000 extraordinary landings, and as many as 60,000 investigators from around the world, all of whom are selected from the elite police forces of various countries, as well as experts from national security agencies.

There are also 20,000 mortals who are service personnel, and these people are also from all over the world, and they are representatives sent by the state to protect the interests of the transcendents, whose identity is more like lawyers. They came with Chao Fan, like the staff member Pei Min had met on the boat before, and he was one of them.

……

On a Hawaiian night, Pei Min, Victoria, Acres, Nikolai, and Sanchez, the American Independence Regiment, stood together in Pearl Harbor Harbor. There was thunder in the sky, but there was no rain, it was King Christian strolling.

On the coastline, transcendents have stepped out to enjoy the night view of the seaside that they have not seen for a long time. Mai looked around in the future, trying to find a familiar figure in the crowd, but in the crowd of Jiuyou Zhongzhou, she only saw Nangong Lie and Nangong Yulun communicating with a group of folk transcendents, and did not find Ji Tianci's figure.

Sanchez is a long-established and current leader of the American Independence Regiment, who has experienced the American Civil War, World War I and World War II. And now that he has gone through three more wars, he now seems to be more like a weathered, kind old captain.

Victoria looked at the stars in the night sky and asked Sanchez beside her, "Captain Sanchez, I remember the first time I met you, it was the day I ascended the throne. At the time, I was an 18-year-old young girl. You told me at the time that you wanted the whole world to live together peacefully, but after all these years, the whole world has never really been at peace. And among them, you America can be said to have helped a lot!"

"Yes, peace bought by force will be broken by force. If there is no war, there will be no war unless everyone lives happily ever after. However, this is simply not possible because human desires are endless. I love nature, but I don't want to, but I can't help myself, and I am forced to get involved in one war after another, watching the ecological environment of the earth become worse day by day...... I've never enjoyed true tranquility in all these years. Sometimes, I really want to be a towering tree, standing motionless, watching the world change. ”

Everyone knows that Sanchez is not a joke, if he wants, he can really turn his body into a towering tree, rooted in the soil, for a hundred years.

Pei Min couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "There is such a saying in our Jiuyou, 'The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop', and those who have the ability will take the corresponding responsibility, and they can't escape if they want to." ”

"yes, I never run away. Victoria said this, but it was Pei Min who looked at her. There was a time when Pei Min also lived a reclusive life.

Nikolai suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to Victoria: "Oh, after so many years of fighting, I realized that maybe we are all the same, both ambitious people. ”

"No, we're not the same. I just want the Dark Race to have a place to live in this world, and you want the whole world to believe in your holy religion. ”

Nikolai was silent after listening for a long time before turning his head to ask Sanchez, "Mr. Sanchez, I think you have also heard rumors about the Qing people, there is a saying that your President Green and President Mark are both members of the Qing people, what do you think?"

Sanchez sighed, "I don't see anything special about them, if they weren't human, I should be able to see them at a glance, on the contrary, I have an inexplicable affinity for these two." President Green, in particular, has made a lot of contributions to the cause of environmental protection. I've known them since they first entered politics, and I've never noticed anything unusual about them. ”

"Heh, the characteristics of the Qing clan are somewhat similar to your wood transcendental, so you will naturally feel kind. And the Qing people on the earth used to be humans, and their physical characteristics have not changed, so you naturally can't tell the difference. Don't you think this war is an anomalous war?" asked Victoria with a smile.

Sanchez thought for a moment, "The U.S. reaction was indeed a bit excessive, but it was understandable. ”

Pei Min rolled his eyes and said with a little surprise, "I'm afraid you've been in the United States for a long time, and the behavior of a madman is also within your understanding." ”

"What has happened has happened, and it is useless to investigate what is right and wrong, we can only do everything well in the moment. Sanchez looked around the harbor and then at the USS Missouri, not far away, "Oh, here again." Perhaps, this will also be the end of World War III. ”

Victoria was noncommittal and looked at the Missouri as well, "Don't forget, this is also the starting point of the war. ”
