"It is a great humiliation to the Imperial Government that the Americans slaughtered our immigrants in Honolulu while the Imperial Government did nothing but make a statement of condemnation!" Shiki Kayama, who had just returned to Okinawa, said these words angrily in the face of Hirobumi Ito!

"Our navy can control the waters around Hawaii and block them completely, so why can't we take some tough action so that the Americans can never enter Asia? We are the masters of Asia in the future. Looking at the silent Hirobumi Ito, Kayama Shiki's courage grew.

"It's a pity that the navy's warships can't land on land, otherwise, I will definitely let you kill all those Americans." Ito Hirofumi glanced at the other party, and then said lightly. But it was this glance that made Huashan Ziji have a chilling feeling!

"What the hell is going on in this matter, I think the Navy understands very well, do you want me to remind you? You did something without the permission of the Imperial government, and now that something has happened, you want to cover it up by holding the Empire hostage. How bold you are! The army is just a sword, and the government is a swordsman with a sword! Make no mistake, or something will happen that makes me very difficult! Ito said angrily.

"So that's how the war ended?" After Birshan's exit in fear, Dashan Yan on the side asked in a low voice, to be honest, he was also depressed about things in Hawaii. Although he was in the army and was angry about the actions of the navy, in his opinion, the Hawaii incident was clearly a defeat and a stain on the empire in this war! It would obviously be better if it could be erased.

"So Your Excellency's Army plans to sail thousands of miles to fight the Americans' 50,000 Army? Even if Your Excellency agrees, the government's money bag does not agree either! Hirobumi Ito said with a sigh.

"50,000 people is just a bluff." Da Shanyan said a little unwillingly.

"50,000 people is impossible, but counting the local Americans and some pro-American people, it is still possible to make up 20,000 people. Have you ever wondered how much we have to pay to annihilate these 20,000 people? People are not the problem, the key is money! Horses can already run in the treasury of the Empire. ”

"And even if we are lucky enough to occupy Hawaii now, what will we do if we go to war with Russia and the recovered U.S. Navy takes Hawaii back? Regardless of the outcome of the Russo-Japanese War, we will not be able to go to war with the Americans immediately, so we cannot want Hawaii, and even as long as we can maintain the status quo and prevent the Americans from annexing it. Hirobumi Ito said.

"So are we going to make some diplomatic moves? Let's get the United States to recognize our occupation of Samoa, and for Spain to recognize our occupation of the Philippines? At the very least, the Japanese immigrants on the island of Hawaii should be able to return safely. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"And the Spaniards can talk, after all, we still have a large number of Spanish hostages in our hands, but the Americans? Forget it, I find that I have underestimated the will and determination of the Americans, and a rising power is really not going to give in easily. Ito said with a little regret.

According to Ito's previous plan, after the war was fought to this extent, let a neutral third party take the lead in peace talks with the Americans. Prisoners captured by the United States in the Philippines and Samoa could be returned to the United States, provided that the United States recognized the Pacific territories currently occupied by Japan, including American Samoa.

However, judging from the reaction of the Americans now, this peace talk is almost delusional, and the Americans have no intention of giving in at all, and even if they are unable to overcome the strength of their troops, they still refuse to bow their heads. The Hawaii incident is a very good proof that the Americans directly threw tens of thousands of troops to the island, putting on a posture of stalking, our US Navy is indeed inferior to you, but you have the ability to fight a land war with me! And it is clear that the Japanese Army simply does not have the ability to cross the ocean to Hawaii to fight a landing battle!

The Americans do not intend to admit the outcome of this war at all, even if they have no way to change all this, but it doesn't matter, the Americans can afford to wait. U.S. Secretary of State U.S. Secretary of State U.S. Dey once said to reporters from all over the world: "The war between the United States of America and Japan and its accomplices has begun!" There will be no end to this evil country unless it finally collapses! "And as early as three weeks ago, diplomatic relations between the United States and Japan were completely terminated!

And on the third day after the Hawaii incident, the U.S. Congress passed a huge naval construction plan, starting in 1899, the U.S. Navy will start construction of at least 3 battleships or armored cruisers every year, and this intensity will continue until the number of battleships reaches 18 and the number of armored cruisers reaches 12! The U.S. Navy has finally waited for the era of great expansion.

The U.S. government rejected any of the country's offers of mediation, and they refused to recognize the results of the war. The war between the United States, Spain, and Japan finally ended on September 8, 1898, with the signing of the Treaty of Tokyo between Japan and Spain. The Japanese received all of Spain's colonies in the Far East, and Spain only exchanged their captives in the Philippines and the promise to allow local Spanish immigrants to leave the Far East with their personal belongings.

The sea in the Far East has returned to calm, but it is well known to anyone that under the seemingly calm sea, there is an undercurrent of conflict between the great powers, and it is not known when it will break out again! The confrontation between the United States and Japan was unexpectedly advanced by decades! The two sides face each other across the vast ocean, and from now on, the Americans do not want to tear to shreds the Eastern powers that have brought shame to the United States. And the Japanese, even when they are fighting the Russians upside down, are still wary of the superpower on the other side of the ocean!

For the confrontation between the United States and Japan, Prince Ruprecht, who is far away in Europe, has no interest in it, after all, it has little to do with him, and the most satisfying thing for His Royal Highness is that because of the conflict between the United States and Japan, the relationship between Britain and the United States has become irreconcilable!

Before the fall of the Russians, it was impossible for the British to abandon Japan, and after the fall of the Russians, Japan, which had grown up, became an important ally of Britain to stabilize Asia! So the same can't give up. And the performance and actions of the British in this war also made it difficult for Americans to forgive the British.

Of course, if we consider the imminent retaliation of the Americans against Britain, the British will not forgive the Americans. His Royal Highness is still looking forward to this completely different Boer War!
