Chapter 1136: The British and American coalition forces are coming
Time passed, and in a flash, 1861 had slipped through my fingers.
Entering 1862, this year, the historical American Federation was still in a difficult civil war, because of Li Zhen's intervention, the Civil War between the North and the South had ended early, and the American Federation began to make great strides; In this year, the historical Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the period of the Tongzhi Emperor, and Cixi's strength became more and more huge, but now, Tongzhi, Cixi and Ci'an were all controlled, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has also become a thing of the past; In this year, the historical Kamehameha IV was dying, but not dead, and after Li Zhen arrived in Hawaii, Kamehameha IV died prematurely, and even the Kingdom of Hawaii ceased to exist.
On February 8, the weather in Hawaii was not as cold as it used to be.
The sun is shining and the weather is starting to warm up.
In the backyard of the palace, Li Zhen, Tiqi, Liu Jintang and others basked in the sun and sunbathed.
Titch was lying on a recliner, while Emma sat behind Titch and gently massaged Titch. Since the establishment of the Republic of Hawaii, Emma has ceased to be a queen and the royal family no longer exists. Under Chen Fang's rule, the Republic of Hawaii regained stability in the shortest possible time and then entered the development stage. Compared to the original kingdom, the Republic of Hawaii is now more vibrant.
With her abilities, Chen Fang has been recognized by the public and officials.
Titch looked at Li Zhen who was lying next to him, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a smile: "President, calculate the time, the warship of the British and American coalition forces is about to Hawaii." If they don't come again, I doubt they'll send troops. ”
Li Zhen smiled and said, "Almost, it should be soon." ”
Liu Jintang said: "President, on the Pirate Island, do you need to inform them to prepare?" ”
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll notify you after the war starts." ”
There was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and Emma looked up to see Thomson, Titch's henchman, striding in. Thomson looked excited, walked like the wind, came to Li Zhen and raised his hand to salute, and said loudly: "President, here, here!" ”
Li Zhenyi rolled his eyes and quipped, "What's coming?" ”
Thomson smiled and replied, "The fleets of the British and American armies are coming, and the warships of both countries have appeared at sea and are heading for Honolulu. At the latest, Li Zhen, who will be able to arrive tomorrow, sat up straight, his expression excited and high-spirited.
After waiting for months, I finally waited for the Lord.
Li Zhen looked at Titch and said, "Titch, inform Akid and prepare to fight!" ”
"Yes!"
Titch stood up and immediately went to arrange the next battle. One by one, the personnel left one after another, all to carry out their respective tasks. Li Zhen invited Chen Fang over and asked Chen Fang to mobilize the people to prepare for war.
……
Honolulu, where the French army was stationed.
Akid was the first to get the news and ordered the army to prepare for battle.
As early as half a month ago, the French fleet had arrived in Honolulu, and Akid also knew that Titch had prepared for battle, and both armies were ready, so Akid did not worry too much, but was also looking forward to the arrival of the British and American forces. Before Akid could leave to visit Tichy, the soldiers came to report Tichy's visit. Immediately, Akid asked the soldiers to invite Tiqi in.
The two sat down, and Akid said, "Is Captain Titch here for the British and American forces?"
Titch nodded and said straight to the point: "Yes, I have received a report from the soldiers that the fleet of the British and American forces is approaching Hawaii and will arrive in Honolulu tomorrow at the latest." This is an imperative battle, so I plan to take the initiative to fight back and use this battle to strengthen Hawaii's position. ”
Arkid nodded, "The French army is fully cooperative. ”
Tiqi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
At this point, nothing can go wrong, and Titch must determine what is going on with Akid.
With a grateful look on his face, Titch affirmed, "Thank you, Captain Akid!" After a pause, he continued: "This battle, I plan to do so. When the British and American forces arrived in Honolulu,......, we would do so, and in the end, we would win. Confident in his bearings, Titch asked, "What does Captain Akidd think?" ”
Arkid nodded and said, "The plan is good, I agree. ”
Titch stood up and said decisively, "Since Captain Arkid agrees with my plan, then, follow this plan." I'm going back to arrange for the soldiers to prepare for war, and I will take my leave! ”
Akid sent Titch off and returned to the living room.
His expression was serious, and there was a deep fear in his eyes.
Akid was willing to help Titch, but in fact, he didn't have a good heart, and in the end he wanted to control Hawaii without blood and achieve the result of expanding France's power. But the ability that Titch showed made Akid feel jealous. Facing the fleets of Britain and the United States, Akid did not dare to say that he would be successful, but Titch was full of confidence and made a careful plan, which made Akid have a little fear of Titch.
"Your Excellency Akid, what kind of problem did you encounter that made you sad?"
A middle-aged man in a military uniform walked in with a smile on his face.
This person is tall and burly, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and clear eyes, giving people a sense of fortitude and wisdom. His name was Christine, with the rank of rear admiral, and he was the commander of the fleet sent to Hawaii by France.
Akid replied, "Your Excellency Christine, Titch has told me the strategy against Britain and the United States. ”
Immediately, Akid relayed the plan.
There was a solemnity between Akid's eyebrows, and he said in a deep voice: "Although Titch is a pirate, he is brave and strategic, and it is not easy to deal with!" I fear that it will become a threat to our control of the Hawaiian Islands in the future. ”
"Hahaha...... Your Excellency has been overwhelmed. ”
Christine shook his head and laughed, and said, "Titch's strategy is very good, but Your Excellency forgot that it is your own strength that determines the victory or defeat of the battlefield. In the face of absolute strength, everything is illusory. Titch is brave and resourceful, but unfortunately he is only a pirate, and the pirates under his command are not in the stream, and it is impossible to compare with the regular army. Therefore, your worries should not be taken to heart. ”
"I hope so!"
Akid nodded, sighing lightly.
……
In the vast sea, the British and American forces have converged.
This time, the British sent a brigade of 3,000 soldiers, and the American Commonwealth sent a brigade of 3,000 soldiers. The two armies converged and amounted to six thousand men. Such an army is already quite good. The soldiers of the British and American coalition forces are all elite, strong in combat, and the quality of the soldiers is very good, and the 6,000 troops have taken this battle very seriously when attacking the Hawaiian Islands.
Flagship, on deck.
The commander of the British fleet was named Mecchard, fifty-one years old, with the rank of lieutenant general.
Commander of the U.S. Federal Fleet, George, 38 years old, with the rank of rear admiral.
The two of them stood on the deck and looked into the distance, Mehard's two gray brows were upside down, and his eyes were slightly squinted, revealing a fierce aura. He put his hands on the side of the ship and said in a deep voice: "It is an unforgivable sin for Akid and the pirates to kill Lieutenant Colonel Pierre. In this battle, Arkidd's French army will be annihilated, the island of Hawaii will be leveled, and the dead Lieutenant Colonel Pierre will be avenged, and the glory of the British Empire will be avenved. ”
George nodded, and continued: "Your Excellency Henry has made great contributions to the American Federation, but Titch killed Your Excellency Henry in a frenzy. And Akid's aiding and abetting is also punishable. ”
The eyes of the two of them were staring ahead, and there was a strong battle intent in their eyes.
