Scott's eyes stared at Li Zhen, his eyes were clear and full of sharpness, as if he was no longer a dying old man, but a general who commanded Ruo Ding to kill decisively on the battlefield. He was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed lightly and said solemnly: "President Li, it is a major matter concerning China, and it is better for me not to listen. I'll leave now, and you and Chen Yucheng, Liu Jintang, and Huang Qiang will discuss slowly. ”

He stood up and prepared to walk out.

Li Zhen immediately stood up, grabbed Scott, and said, "Mr. Scott, I believe in you. ”

In a word, Li Zhen's heart is expressed.

Scott looked back with a look of gratitude in his eyes, thanking Li Zhen for believing in him.

However, Scott still shook his head and said with a serious expression: "The matter of the Hawaiian Islands is very extensive and has a great impact. Not only the British Empire, but also the French Empire, and even the Confederation, the three countries will definitely not sit idly by. I am a full-fledged federal citizen and a full-fledged federal soldier. I can help President Lee build a military school, I can help President Lee educate students, but I won't help you deal with your own country. ”

Scott's expression was serious, and his hoarse voice was sonorous, and he said categorically: "President Lee, I admire your strategic vision, because your analysis of Hawaii Island is correct. But I can't participate, please forgive me. ”

An old man's patriotic feelings were displayed in front of Li Zhen.

In this situation, Li Zhen is also difficult to persuade.

Li Zhen knows Scott, so he doesn't plan to persuade either.

Li Zhen thought carefully for a moment and said, "I respect Mr. Scott's choice and agree with your approach. If I were in your place, I would make the same decision. Once things unfold in Hawaii, there will definitely be Union troops coming. Well, tomorrow I'll ask Captain Titch to send a ship back to China, and I'll do that later, what do you think? ”

Scott's old face smiled, and he bowed, "Thank you, President Lee!" He turned around and left the room, and after Li Zhenmu saw Scott leave, he then turned back to his seat with a somewhat solemn expression.

After all, it would be much more convenient to have an experienced person on the side to serve as an advisor.

It's a pity that Li Zhen had to send Scott away.

Li Zhen's gaze fell on Huang Qiang and said, "Huang Qiang, tomorrow morning, you will bring a hundred soldiers from the Sharp Knife Battalion to escort the Scott family back." After arriving in Guangzhou, he asked Wang Xiaoyang, the governor of Guangdong, to send someone to escort Scott's family to Beijing, and Zuo Zongtang personally received Scott. Be sure to let Wang Xiaoyang pay attention, understand? ”

"Understood!"

Huang Qiang nodded in response and said, "Give Scott to Lord Wang, and I'll rush back immediately." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Not only do you have to rush back, but you also have to mobilize the navy." Guangzhou is garrisoned by Qi Zhenhai, and you inform Qi Zhenhai and ask him to mobilize a part of the navy to come to Hawaii. This time it is not necessary to fight, but the necessary deterrence is a must. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Qiang nodded, looking like he was sure to complete the task.

Li Zhen no longer talked about Scott's affairs, and after a while, he returned to the matter of Hawaii, and said seriously: "Now, let's discuss how to take Hawaii." ”

Liu Jintang said arrogantly: "Command the pirates and take Hawaii in one go." ”

Li Zhen smiled and asked, "And then?" ”

Liu Jintang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, and said directly: "Then? And then? We've all taken Hawaii in one go, and it's all over, so there's no need to do that. ”

Li Zhen scratched his head, feeling that you kid doesn't think about the consequences!

Li Zhen asked, "What if the U.S. Federation sends troops to Hawaii and launches an attack?" ”

Liu Jintang waved his hand and said, "Fight back!" ”

Li Zhen asked again: "What if the British army also arrives in Hawaii and attacks with the American Federation?" ”

Liu Jintang replied: "Call back again!" ”

Li Zhen asked again: "What if the French army also comes back and attacks together with Britain and the American Commonwealth?" ”

"I can't win."

Liu Jintang was stunned and also felt a headache.

If it is only the strength of one country, even if the island of Hawaii does not have strategic depth, it can still maneuver. However, if two or three countries are united, the country will certainly face great difficulties. Not to mention the confrontation on land, the sea is a big problem. Liu Jintang is not a reckless person, he has already been honed through big and small battles, so he can judge the situation.

Chen Yucheng rolled his eyes and said: "President, in my opinion, if you want to take Hawaii Island, you need to use Fierce and Fierce and Xu Tu Slow to use together in order to completely take Hawaii." ”

"How to be strong and diligent? How to slowly move forward? Li Zhen suddenly became interested.

Chen Yucheng was full of confidence and said what he thought.

According to Chen Yucheng's idea, he first made a fierce attack with thunderous means, and then Xu Tu slowly advanced step by step, gradually gaining a foothold in Hawaii. Such a strategy made Li Zhen and Liu Jintang can't help but nod.

After Li Zhen listened, he nodded and said, "Chen Yucheng's strategy is very good, I agree." The highlight was the strategy against Britain, France, and the United States, which was the most critical step in obtaining the Hawaiian Islands. Well, just execute. After a pause, Li Zhen yawned and said, "Let's all go and rest, and start implementing the plan tomorrow." ”

The three of them got up to say goodbye, but Li Zhen did not rest.

He carefully demonstrated Chen Yucheng's suggestions to make sure that they were correct before going to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Zhen came to the hall, and Titch quickly rushed over.

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Your Excellency Titch, the matter in Hawaii will involve the US Federation, and Mr. Scott, as the former commander of the US Federation's army, is inconvenient to participate in the next things, so he has to rush to China first." At the same time, I also need to send people back to China to deliver news and send troops to help, so as to prevent Britain, France, and the United States from interfering at will and ensure the stability of the overall situation. Therefore, it is up to Lord Tichy to send a ship to see them off. ”

"I'll arrange it immediately!"

Titch agreed to come down and immediately let the pirates prepare.

Li Zhen mentioned the increase in troops, he absolutely fully supported, with enough troops, there is enough confidence.

Ten o'clock in the morning, Pirate Island port.

Li Zhen, Chen Yucheng, Liu Jintang, Titch, Thomson and others stood on the dock and waved goodbye to Scott, Huang Qiang and others standing on the deck. The whistle sounded, and the big ship slowly left the harbor, then sped up and disappeared from sight. Li Zhen stared at the shadow of the big ship leaving for a long time before he looked at Titch beside him and said, "Captain Titch, I originally asked you to give me two days to prepare, but now I have decided on a plan for Hawaii. Let's go, go back and talk about it in detail. ”

"Great!"

Titch nodded, excitedly returning.

This time, it's not a small fight, it's to take the Kingdom of Hawaii. Perhaps, for Li Zhen, attacking such a small country is no longer in his eyes, but for Tiqi, a big pirate, it is simply a great thing.

What a spectacular attack on a country by a group of pirates!
