Chapter 316: Changes in Hawaii (6)

At 9 o'clock in the morning on March 8, 1892, the former government building of the Kingdom of Hawaii gathered people from all walks of life in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and Chen Zhongzhong stood in front of the stage and announced to everyone: Queen Liliukalani of the Kingdom of Hawaii has signed an abdication edict, and we will establish a free, democratic, and equal country in the Hawaiian Islands - the Republic of Hawaii.

Later, the main members of the government of the Republic of Hawaii came to the stage, and Chen Zhongzhong introduced them one by one, so that people from all walks of life could get to know them.

Chen Zhongzhong served as the president of the Republic of Hawaii, Zhou Rufeng (Zhou Ming) served as the minister of military affairs, and other high-ranking officials of the Republic of Hawaii were all "Chinese businessmen", and the Republic of Hawaii was completely a country dominated by Chinese.

Chen Zhongzhong then explained to the surprised people from all walks of life in Hawaii: "The Republic of Hawaii has an important geographical location, but the country has few people, and it is difficult to protect national sovereignty, so I will ask the Chinese Empire to let the Republic of Hawaii accept the protection of the Chinese Empire." ”

Chen Zhongzhong's speech caused a lot of discussion in the audience, many people raised their voices against Chen Zhongzhong's proposition, and many people opposed the establishment of the Republic of Hawaii.

The main opponents were Native Hawaiians and Caucasian Westerners, the former who did not want the Hawaiian Kingdom to disappear, and many of the latter who wanted to overthrow the Hawaiian Kingdom but did not want to see a Chinese-ruled country emerge.

Chen Zhongzhong looked at the crowd shouting against the audience, his face was calm, and he was obviously mentally prepared.

However, Zhou Ming didn't want the scene to continue to be chaotic, and with a wave of his hand, the Chinese armed with rifles... No, it should be called the Republic of Hawaii now. The soldiers, who were all around, aimed their guns at the crowd, and the soldiers who knew English or Hawaiian shouted to the crowd in front of them, "Quiet! ”

Many people were scared when they saw the black muzzle of the gun, and they didn't dare to speak out again, but there were still people who didn't care about all this, thinking that they didn't dare to do anything to themselves, and they were still making loud noises.

Then a few soldiers walked into the crowd and arrested the people who were still making a loud noise.

When this happened, the scene quickly quieted down, and Chen Zhongzhong continued to speak, pointing the finger at the officials of the former Hawaiian Kingdom government.

Chen Zhongzhong briefly described what has happened in recent months:

In the past few months, there have often been "native" and Chinese fights, and they are all caused by "natives", but the officials of the Kingdom of Hawaii are partial to the "natives", do not punish the "natives" in any way, and even blame the Chinese for the incident, and then there have been several deaths, and the government officials of the Kingdom of Hawaii still favor the "natives" and ignore the dead Chinese, which makes the "natives" more arrogant and frequently goes against the Chinese.

The Chinese could no longer tolerate the discrimination of the Hawaiian government, so the Chinese united to overthrow the Hawaiian Kingdom and establish the Republic of Hawaii, which will be a free, democratic, and equal country......

What happened in the recent period, people living in Hawaii know a little, the Chinese have always appeared with a humble face, what kind of situation can make the humble Chinese go against the norm and use force to overthrow the Hawaiian Kingdom, obviously the Chinese can no longer stand the rule of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and are determined to build a country without oppression and equality for all.

Even among the white people, there are sympathetic to the Chinese, who identify with the newly formed Republic of Hawaii, hoping that the Republic of Hawaii can really become the beautiful country that the Chinese say it is.

However, there are also many people who believe that the government officials of the Republic of Hawaii should be elected openly, and not all Chinese, and the total Chinese population on the Hawaiian Islands can only rank fourth, and the top three are indigenous, European and American Caucasians, and Yue himself.

Chen Zhongzhong replied: "The officials of the Republic of Hawaii will be elected openly in the future, but not now, the Kingdom of Hawaii has just been overthrown, and there will be chaos in the country, and after the chaos is calmed down and the country is on the right track, an open election will be held." ”

Chen's words were echoed by more people, but the indigenous and some white people still objected.

If you oppose it, you will oppose it, as long as you don't resist, if you dare to resist, you will be arrested directly, if you dare to resist with arms, you will shoot it directly, now the Chinese are in control of the military and political power, and smart people know that they can't stand up at this time, and they will be killed by the Chinese as a target, and only the natives are excited because the Hawaiian Kingdom was overthrown, and they want to rebuild the Hawaiian Kingdom.

So in the next period of time, a large number of natives will be arrested every day, and even natives who resist by force will be shot, on the contrary, the white people will not react much, and the third most populous person in Hawaii himself will act as if nothing has happened, what should he do.

In fact, the white race is waiting, waiting for the United States and other Western countries to react when they learn about the meeting, and what some Caucasians hope most is for the United States to send troops, kill the Republic of Hawaii, re-establish a Caucasian-dominated country, or annex Hawaii to the United States.

The US warships on Maui Island also went out to inspect the situation on the islands of the Hawaiian Islands, and found that the Chinese "rebellion" had broken out on the six major islands, and the Chinese armed forces were very strong, and it was impossible for the "rebellion" to be suppressed, so they could only retreat to the base and wait for orders from the United States.

Although the world's cable and telegraph industry is developing rapidly, and submarine cables connect many regions, the Hawaiian Islands do not have submarine cables to connect, and if you want to transmit information, you must ship it.

The Hawaiian Islands are 3,800 kilometers from the United States, and the ships need to sail for nine days, and the Hawaiian Islands are 7,300 kilometers from the Ryukyus, and the ships need to sail for 17 days.

Then it's a matter of time.

The government of the Republic of Hawaii will send ships to the Chinese Empire in the next step, hoping to obtain the protection of the Chinese Empire, and after the Chinese Empire agrees, it will send troops to the Republic of Hawaii, the air force is the fastest, and it is expected that four days will be enough to reach Hawaii, and the Chinese Empire is an absolute monarchy, as long as Yan Xueyi agrees, he can start the operation.

The government of the Republic of Hawaii controls the ships at the docks, but there is no navy, and foreign ships will find out what is going on here, and if there is enough coal and food, they will go straight to the United States with the news.

The United States is not a country that can be decided by the president with a word, and the approval of Congress is required for such a major event as sending a large army to destroy the Republic of Hawaii, and it is not known how much time it will take for the United States to send troops to attack the Republic of Hawaii.

Although the United States is closer to Hawaii, it is not known which country's troops will arrive in Hawaii first.
