The only thing that made Chen Fang a little unhappy was that he actually met his old rival in Hawaii on the fleet, and the government actually asked him to cooperate sincerely with this little Japan......

"Please Chen Lao put the overall situation first, after the crazy anti-Chinese exclusion of Americans in recent years, now Hawaii (more than half of the Chinese ancestry, can speak Chinese. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There are only more than 100 overseas Chinese left. The only way to quickly control the situation in Hawaii is to rely on the power of the Japanese, after all, Japanese Americans are now the largest ethnic group in Hawaii. Li He, who was appointed commander of this detachment, patiently explained to Chen Fang, "Actually, the Japanese government originally wanted to send a few warships over to join in the fun, but their old ships did not have enough endurance, and bringing supply ships would slow down the speed of the formation, so they could only symbolically send a squadron of marines and more than a dozen naval observers on board......

"Those white-skinned pigs are really hateful, originally the Chinese are the largest ethnic group in Hawaii (more than the local natives), I can't imagine that after only so many years, there are only so many people left......", Chen Fang's eyes turned red after hearing this, and he scolded angrily, but he didn't know that the Americans' anti-Chinese was so fierce, in fact, to a large extent, it was Li Hui's ghost, if he hadn't sent people to Alaska to rob gold with the Americans, and killed and injured tens of thousands of American soldiers and civilians, no matter how the United States excluded China, it would not have done so desperately, Even the Japanese in the United States suffered from the fact that they looked similar to the Chinese in the eyes of the whites, and to make matters worse, the Japanese government was no longer able to protect them after 1895......

"In fact, the life of the Japanese expatriates in Hawaii is not easy at present, after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan's international status has plummeted, and the so-called 'Republic of Hawaii' has no scruples and began to drive the Japanese out on a large scale, fortunately it was not for a long time, otherwise this operation would be more troublesome ......", Li He may have had a good relationship with Li Hui, and among the generals who led the navy, he had the most thorough understanding of Li Hui's intentions, "The interests of countries come first, even if the alliance that China and Japan have concluded is not considered, As East Asians on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, we share common interests in confronting the United States, and we should put aside our differences and unite with the United States. ”

Chen Fang knew that he was just a fox and a fake tiger, without the support of the Chinese Navy, he could not even guarantee the safety of everyone after returning to Hawaii, even if Li He said it very politely, he did not dare to stand up to the bull, and thought that the Sakata Rokuro who had been fighting with him for twenty or thirty years had suffered the same fate as himself not long ago, and was forced to sell his assets and hurriedly flee back to his home country, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart.

In a sense, Sakata Rokuro is worse than Chen Fang, the latter can at least return to China with 600,000 US dollars, but he was in a hurry because his life was in danger, many industries did not have time to liquidate, and he brought back only a hundred thousand US dollars, and later because the Japanese government wanted to raise reparations for the defeat and was sheared fiercely, and now his assets are less than one percent of the peak, if this trip cannot be successful, even if he is younger than Chen Fang, don't think about having a chance to make a comeback.

Well, seeing the four Haitian-class cruises, Sakata was full of confidence in the "recovery" of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and he was more concerned about how much benefit he could get after the matter was completed.

After some secret negotiation (sharing the spoils), the three unanimously agreed that a son born to Chen Fang and the Hawaiian princess would be the new king of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and the Chen family would get back the assets that originally belonged to the Chinese merchants and the royal family, and not any other penny; In addition to renting the naval base on Oahu for free, the Chinese Navy will also share part of the expenses for the daily maintenance of the base and the cost of the garrison, along with the Japanese government, if the Japanese Navy also wants to use the Pearl Harbor naval base; And how to distribute the rest of the benefits, they were all handed over to Sakata to deal with, which immediately made him ecstatic, but when he learned about the Chinese side's requirements, he immediately frowned again, sure enough, this money is not so easy to take!

As the (former) leader of the Hawaiian diaspora, Sakata was asked to restore order to Hawaii in the shortest possible time, including establishing a decent new royal government and militia to prevent a rebellion by Hawaii's not a small number of white "civilians" who were prevalent in possession of guns, and to find the Hawaiian royal family who were still alive and who succeeded to the throne before Chen Fang's son, and then try to get them to relinquish their right to the throne......

"With so many things and so little time, how can I be busy alone?" , Sakata, who had a splitting headache, immediately cried and complained with a sad face.

Li He snorted coldly, reminding this short and thin old man that he was not satisfied with the cheap, "You don't want to do it, some people are willing to do it!" There are few Chinese in Hawaii, there are still a lot of Japanese, and you are not the only one who can serve the public! ”

Sakata suddenly shuddered, and didn't dare to say more, he knew very well that he was not the only one with prestige among the Japanese Americans in Hawaii, considering that he had been away for a while, his influence would definitely decline a lot, and some of his contacts in the past might not be effective, but I was afraid that the top ten might not be able to enter, and the Chinese government chose him instead of those Japanese businessmen who stayed in Hawaii, just because they felt that their position was not so reliable, and they were worried that they would leak the news to the Americans, and they were even more uneasy. But this does not mean that China does not dare to take risks, in fact, under the deterrence of four Haitian-class patrol ships, smart people should know how to choose sides, and where can the risk be?

However, Sakata did not know that this operation was actually an adventure, and it could be said that it was the largest military adventure of the Chinese Navy since the establishment of the Chinese Republic, and the US Navy was indeed weak, but in order to seize time, this fleet only brought four sea and sky ships on the road, not only did it not have minesweeping ships, but it did not even have cannon fodder that could be driven to the front to interview and substitute for death, and if the Americans in Hawaii laid mines, the Chinese Navy would probably sink one, or even two Haitian-class patrol ships, and the purpose of this trip would not be achieved, can only return to the sea in disgrace, that will definitely be the biggest setback in the history of the Chinese Navy.

However, Li Hui suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake, and he didn't have time to send agents to Hawaii to find out the information, so he sent the fleet out in order to seize time. Of course, Li Hui knows that this is a risk, but if he loses the bet, he will sink one or two warships, with the current surge in strength of the Chinese Navy and the external environment that no longer has a strong enemy to deal with, this price can still be paid, and if the bet wins, he can win the initiative of the overall situation, so why not take a gamble?
