Chapter 511: The Independent Kingdom
Queen Liliukalani said: "Over the years, I have been following the movements of countries around the world, and finally in these two years, the line of hope. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info.
I, you, the Chinese Empire, have successfully defeated the invading bandits and become independent with a strong attitude.
Especially in this war in the Pacific, I am even more convinced that only you can help me and help us restore the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
I heard, Your Majesty the Emperor, in order to help some weak and small countries restore their sovereignty and national independence, you put forward the concept of the Chinese Imperial Alliance.
If His Majesty the Emperor can help me re-establish the Kingdom of Hawaii, I promise to join the Chinese Imperial Alliance, the navy of the Chinese Empire, which can garrison our Hawaiian military port. It will always be the most important military base of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific. ”
Chen Zhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are indeed an extremely wise politician. You are the most resilient and convicted leader I have ever seen.
I'm really glad that our Huaxia Imperial Alliance can have such a member of your Hawaiian Kingdom.
We, the Chinese Empire, would love to help you form the Kingdom of Hawaii and agree to be your protectorate.
I believe that as long as my army is stationed in Hawaii's military port, there will be no other country's army in the world that dares to think about Hawaii again!
Your Majesty, I have come to Hawaii to defeat the Americans. Let them always remember that robbers will sooner or later pay for their actions! ”
Queen Liliukarani agreed with Chen Zhong's words, and she felt that after surviving the catastrophe, she finally hoped in her twilight years, and suddenly, old tears were rampant.
Chen Zhong got up to take the towel from the Queen's granddaughter, Mariia Kaorani, and personally wiped away the tears of the elderly Queen.
Queen Liliukalani wept bitterly.
It was the cry of a once-mighty queen, an outburst of pain that had been suppressed for too long.
That year, during the two years of Queen Liliukalani's accession to the throne, there was growing opposition in the country.
Queen Liliukalani wants to regain supreme power through a new constitution. In an effort to gain public support and weaken the power of Americans and Europeans, she lowered the threshold of property required for Indigenous people to participate in elections in the hope that Indigenous people would be elected.
and the abolition of voting rights for Americans and Europeans, so that more indigenous people gained political power.
The Queen even visited the islands of Hawaii to promote her ideas to the public, and for this she gained unprecedented support.
However, when she spoke to the cabinet about the matter, she did not receive support.
However, Queen Liliukalani's actions inspired the fighting spirit of local Americans and added a lot of pressure to the Hawaiian royal family.
Eventually, under Queen Liliukalani's aim to "avoid bloodshed", and on the strong advice of her cronies and ministers, the queen surrendered.
Far away from the enemy, the enemy is alone, and the enemy is not afraid of the feather
In the years that followed, Queen Liliukalani spent her time in extreme humiliation.
These are the Queen's unbearable memories. In Queen Liliukalani, there was no hope in her life, and it was spent in desperate times.
It was in these most desperate times that she lived tenaciously in order to rebuild the Hawaiian Kingdom, and during this time, it can be said that she suffered a lot of humiliation in the world.
Chen Zhong understood the queen's feelings now, and he decided to help Queen Liliukalani rebuild the kingdom of Hawaii.
Vice Admiral Chen invited Queen Liliukalani to his warship, and they decided that the Chinese Empire's fleet would fight in the name of helping the Hawaiian Kingdom become independent.
Chen Zhong and Queen Liliukarani jointly announced to the world the purpose of this expedition to Hawaii.
This news shook the whole world, and also marked the blatant provocation of the Chinese Empire led by Chen Zhong against the United States.
At the same time, this news also greatly encouraged the independence enthusiasm of the local indigenous people of Hawaii. For a time, the atmosphere of war in the Pacific became even stronger.
On the one hand, Liliuklani, the queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii, organized a group of scholars to prepare academic proof that Hawaii was a subject within the scope of international law from a very early age.
Moreover, it is explained in detail that Hawaii's sovereignty will not end with the annexation of the United States.
It was also suggested that Hawaii's independence was not a question of Native self-determination, but of the restoration of sovereignty.
In the name of the "Kingdom of Hawaii", the Declaration of Independence of Hawaii was sent to the International Court of Arbitration in The Hague for appeal.
The Americans, on the other hand, shamelessly say that the U.S. annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, not a change, is a completion.
They say that the Hawaiian Islands are the culmination of nearly 100 years of painstaking management by American traders, missionaries, whalers, plantation owners, and military and political diplomats.
The island was built by the hard work of the Americans.
The Americans' remarks were quickly echoed by Chen. Chen Zhong commented in various newspapers. He gave a detailed account of Hawaii's history.
Chen Zhong explained that the purpose of the United States in acquiring Hawei is to make its strategic position in the Far East and the Pacific region extremely advantageous, and to change the struggle for hegemony in the Far East and the Pacific.
also showed a sanctimonious appearance. The Americans illegally occupied Hawaii for decades.
As a result, Chen Zhong publicly stated in the media that he must help the Hawaiian Kingdom regain its sovereignty.
For a time, there was a controversy in the United States.
U.S. President Taft believes that Americans should be brave enough to admit their mistakes and give Queen Kalani justice.
Theodore Roosevelt, who was still on vacation in the West, rushed back to Washington, D.C., after learning the news.
In Congress, Roosevelt rejected Taft's rhetoric, arguing that Taft was too conservative.
Americans should think a little more for their own good.
Without Hawaii, the United States would have lost a big springboard in the Pacific, and the United States would have lost a lot of the Far East and the Pacific region.
While the Americans were still arguing about this matter, Chen Zhong's Marine Corps had already taken advantage of the night to touch the Hawaiian Islands.
The U.S. garrison on Hawaiian Island was small, and Chen Zhong ordered a squadron of Marine Corps of the Imperial Chinese Navy to take the island before it got dark.
Ma Chong sent the force of this squadron to quickly attack and occupy the Governor's Office and other government departments in Hawaii, as well as hospitals and communications.
Sun Di hated the place coldly and hated Yu Zhanke's enemy Sun
In less than four hours, Ma's Marines took control of the entire Hawaiian Islands.
Sun Diqiu coldly hated Yu Zhanke's enemy, Sun U.S. President Taft believes that Americans should be brave enough to admit their mistakes and give Queen Carani justice.
That night, Chen ordered the Hawaiian media to announce to the world that the independent kingdom of Hawaii had been established.
