141 War of the Kingdom of Hawaii (continued)

The last stop in this unification of the Hawaiian Islands is the island of Hawaii. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info as the largest island of the Hawaiian Islands, the word Hawaii itself means the largest island, its area is more than twice the area of the other Hawaiian Islands combined, and it also has a relatively large population, and the Hawaiian tribes established on the island of Hawaii are also stronger.

However, the concept is relative, and the tribe led by the chief Kalaniub has always been the object of awe of the tribes on the other islands, but now, the chief of the Wahu tribe, Keo, no longer takes this chief and his tribe seriously.

In the past week or two, Kaio has annexed all tribes except the Hawaiian tribes, with a total population of more than 100,000 people, which is already the same as the population of the Tang Dynasty. This population figure is an approximate number, which is a rough count made by Bai Nan, who believes that if Kaio completes the unification of the archipelago, then the population of the Hawaiian Kingdom he established will definitely surpass that of the Tang Dynasty, reaching about 200,000 people.

Of course, the benefits that this part of the population can produce are not particularly optimistic, Polynesians are romantic by nature, and usually if a national romance is described in the political field, it means that they are extremely inefficient, do not like to work, and have a loose nature. These things are not impossible to change, but it takes a lot of time to subtly improve the modernity of a group.

The people of the Wahu plantation reacted to Bai Nan, although the tribe often had people come to work, but often they worked for a while, and then secretly ran out to play, and at every turn they would pick the fruits of the planting and eat them, and the Wahu people had friendly relations with the Tang people, so they could not teach them with leather whips and bullets. It's quite difficult to manage.

The Don army also passed the battles during this time. Improved some combat experience. Despite the fact that the enemy could no longer be weaker, the Tang army carried out the battle in accordance with the combat manual, and it also achieved good results.

"This is the last enemy." Chang Bin held a telescope and observed the coast of Hawaii's Big Island.

Bai Nan nodded and said, "This is probably also the most troublesome enemy, we have conquered other islands in a row, and it has attracted the attention of the Hawaiian tribes." ”

Chang Bin was a little indifferent, and said: "If you really pay attention to it, it is impossible to have an empty coast, and you won't even have a little guard." Preventing us from landing is the best thing to do. ”

"Prevent us from landing? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Although it is unrealistic to set up anti-landing fortifications on the coastal tidal flats with the military vision and strength of the Polynesian natives, I think that at least they have planted eyeliners in hidden places along the coast, such as in the woods, and once we land, they will immediately notify the tribe, and then the main force of the tribe will come and fight us. ”

The degree to which Chang Bin didn't care increased. "What's the use?" The tribes of the other islands have proven a truth, and that is to deal with us head-on. They couldn't hold out for even ten minutes, and they could only be easily broken by us. If it were me, I would break it into pieces, let the troops go into the dense jungle, take advantage of the geographical advantages to fight guerrilla warfare, and consume the strength of our Tang army, until we get impatient, or can no longer accept the losses caused by guerrilla warfare, then we will win. ”

Bai Nan smiled slightly, Chang Bin's idea has a very strong Chinese wisdom, and it is very compatible with his role as a Marine with special warfare attributes, but Bai Nan also vetoed this possibility: "Guerrilla warfare sometimes requires more organization and support than conventional combat." If the Hawaiian tribes insist on waging guerrilla warfare in the jungle, not to mention whether we will continue to fight them, they will give up their own tribal villages, which will cause us to seize their villages and populations, and the Hawaiians themselves are not productive and have no mass base, then their guerrilla warfare may become their own desperate search for food, and at the same time facing our encirclement and suppression. In addition, the Hawaiian tribes lack an effective unified management model and can control the guerrilla warfare of the whole island, and the most likely thing is that they will fight separately and be defeated in the end, which is very different from the guerrilla warfare of our troops during the War of Resistance Against Japan. ”

Chang Bin sighed with emotion: "Hearing you say this, it seems that this is indeed the case, so there is no other way out for the Hawaiians except to confront us head-on?" ”

"It's basically like this," Bai Nan's expression remained unchanged, "In other words, how can you look at it from the other party's standpoint, we have already ended this war, and we can go back earlier." ”

"Thinking from the enemy's point of view is the key to victory."

Indeed, as Bai Nan expected, when the Tang army and a large number of Wahu troops landed on the island of Hawaii, the Hawaiians hiding on the shore immediately ran to report to the chieftain Kalaniub. The chief had gathered all the Hawaiians of the island, and all the men who could fight had been gathered by him, and he was led by several of his lesser chiefs, including his son Koomo and nephew Kamihameha.

"Here we are, our enemy." Kamihameha's face was calm, and he held a straight knife in his hand. It is one of the few iron weapons in Hawaii, and it was brought by the Japanese who came from across the ocean.

Koomo laughed and said, "Kamihameha, let's compete to see who kills more enemies." ”

Kamihameha was still serious: "Not interested. ”

"Coward." Koomo was scrappy.

Kalanioub looked at the two nephews and thought to himself, "Koomo has courage and is strong, Kamihameha has a brilliant mind, Koomo can't see the situation clearly, but Kamihameha already knows that with the strength of our Hawaiians, it may not be possible to defeat that group of enemies from overseas." ”

"Is it really heaven that is going to kill me?" Kalaniub was desperate.

At this time, Kamihameha walked up to Karaniub and said, "Uncle, although what I am about to say is very contradictory, please consider my suggestion. Vahu itself is nothing, but outsiders possess magical weapons that can easily kill swaths of their people. We have not found a way to fight them, and it is very unwise to fight hard. If we surrender now and are saved from extermination, Vahu did not kill all the captives, but let them continue to live and obey Kaio's orders. Kaio is not a man of much ability, and outsiders will not stay in the archipelago for long, if we lie dormant, there may be a chance to rise again in the future, overthrow Kaio, and re-establish our rule. ”

Of course, Karaniub heard the temptation of this opinion, but he still said in a gloomy manner: "If I agree with you, I'm afraid that without Kaio's intervention, Koomo and they will kill me first, and the Hawaiians can only die in battle, and they cannot choose to surrender, because if they surrender, our tribe will be completely finished." ”

Kamihameha didn't have any expression of disappointment and didn't sigh, just nodded and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the sea. (To be continued.) )
