"Prepare a boat and let us go back to America, or let Her Majesty accompany us to God!" , For such a request from the Dole family, Li He couldn't help but scoff, he didn't care about the life or death of the Queen of Hawaii!

But just when Li He was about to give the order for a strong attack, Chen Fang suggested, "It's better for the queen not to die, at least not now." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"What? Can't bear to be sister-in-law? Li He, who knew the kinship between Chen Fang and the queen, couldn't help but tease.

"How dare the old man abolish the public for personal reasons, but the royal family members who inherited the throne before my son have not found a few, but I am afraid that they have gone to the United States, and we can't reach it, if you want to ensure the legitimacy of the inheritance, it is best to let the queen write a succession edict ......", Chen Fang hurriedly denied it, seeing that Li He was noncommittal, he stiffened his head and said with weight, "I think, since the saint wants to use the old decay, he is naturally afraid of international public opinion, otherwise he can directly send troops to seize it, why bother like now?" ”

"You're right." Li He suddenly understood, and asked James Doerr, who had come to negotiate, to call him and tell him, "It is impossible for you to leave with the queen and release people out of the range of our naval guns, what if you break the treaty and not release the queen?" In this case, you have the queen write a decree of succession to her nephew, and we will consider your request......"

"This must be a scam! After the queen ascends the throne, she has no value as a hostage! The scheming Sanford Dole immediately saw through the trap hidden in this condition and resolutely objected.

But his cousin, James Doerr, who had already walked through the ghost gate, took the opposite opinion, and the pineapple king of Hawaii waved his arms and exclaimed excitedly, "But that Chinese rear admiral has already given an ultimatum, and it is only half an hour!" If we don't do it, they're going to attack and we're all going to die! It's going to die! ”

After Sanford Dole took a coup d'état to seize power in Hawaii and make the Dole family the most powerful and wealthy family in Hawaii, everyone held him in high esteem; But now, many people blame Sanford Dole for the coup d'état, believing that it was at that time that gave the Chinese an excuse to call now.

Although Sanford Dole's prestige is still there, everyone only dares to express dissent behind their backs, but now James, whose prestige is second only to Sanford Dole's in the family, has stood up and immediately won the response and support of many people, and Sanford Dole has no power to return to heaven despite all his efforts......

The poor former Queen of Hawaii did not know who had come to "rescue" her until this time, and learned that the Chinese tycoon who had spent a lot of money for her sister and made her young self extremely envious had returned to Hawaii, and brought with her a powerful army that even those Americans were afraid of, and the queen, who was nearly sixty years old, had a wisp of crimson like a girl on her face.

But after listening to the people of the Dole family relay the other party's request, the queen, who has grown after being a prisoner for several years, suddenly felt a chill, and it was obvious that the brother-in-law cared more about the throne of Hawaii than his own safety.

"I want this country! The Americans want it, the Japanese want it, and now even the Chinese want it! Queen Liliucarani knew that the fate of both herself and the country would end here, and her heart could not help but be very sad.

However, Liliucarani still wrote the edict of succession as requested, not only because of James Doerr's persecution, but also because she always hated Americans a little more in her heart, and Chen Ming had a quarter of Hawaiian royal blood, which was better than being stolen by the Yankees, who were completely outsiders......

Out of the last bit of obsession with the royal lineage, Liliukalani demanded in the edict that Chen Ming succeed him as his adopted son, and the surname should naturally be changed to the mother's surname, as a prerequisite for the edict to take effect.

After Chen Fang confirmed that the edict was indeed the queen's handwriting and translated its contents into Chinese, Li He didn't wait for Chen Fang to express his position, so he took the lead for him, "Just do as she says, anyway, Chen Lao, you have more than one son." ”

Chen Fang was originally going to agree, but when Li He said this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The two of them talked as if no one was around, and James Doerr, who had sent the edict to the sidelines, finally felt a moment's second, and he stubbornly asked, "Your Excellency, Rear Admiral, didn't you say that you would agree to our terms as soon as we let the queen write this edict and send it?" ”

"Mr. Dole, you don't have a good memory, I only promised to consider your requests, but I never said that I would agree to them all." , Li He smiled slyly, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a fox who had just stolen a chicken......

Having said that, in fact, Li He still gave in a step, as long as those armed men abandoned their weapons and surrendered, he could directly repatriate them to China, without letting Chen Fang and other victimized Chinese and Japanese businessmen pursue revenge, this condition is not far from the requirements of the Daer family. However, the Dole family originally lacked trust in Li He's promise, and now they were deceived again (Li He said that he was wronged), so it was even more impossible to believe him.

And Sanford Dole, who took the opportunity to regain the dominance of the family, also encouraged everyone to defend the palace to wait for local reinforcements, the water and food stocks in the palace were enough for them for several months, and the building was quite strong, the infantry artillery carried by the marines this time was helpless, unless the Chinese were willing to spend a lot of money to rebuild in the future and directly bombard the palace with naval guns, otherwise they had to fight house by house, casualties were not small, considering the limited number of enemy ground troops, maybe it could really hold on for a long time. Okay, China's navy is too strong for reinforcements to come, but if it can hold out long enough, there may be a diplomatic change in its favor, and then there is a glimmer of life.

At this time, the benefits of bringing the Japanese over were reflected, although the Japanese Navy only sent a squadron of troops, but these people were actually officers, and thanks to the American atmosphere of gun ownership and Japan's thousands of years of samurai culture, a large part of the Japanese overseas Japanese in Hawaii have touched the gun, Sakata Rokuro only took one day, to pull out almost a complete infantry wing, although the combat effectiveness is miserable, but as cannon fodder is no problem at all......
