Chapter 304: The President of the United States
You must know that the current rifles have a slow rate of fire, the pistols are not powerful, and the Americans do not have grenades, so you only need to rush in two or three cannon fodder to confirm whether there is anyone inside, and by the way, lead the enemy to shoot the bullets, and then throw a grenade into the house to solve the problem. As a result www.biquge.info more than 100 armed men of the Dole family did not kill even a single regular soldier, and Sanford Dole was blown up by a grenade when he resisted stubbornly, and he choked on the spot.
As for the former queen of Hawaii, who had just written the edict of succession, she was not spared, and later the US government insisted that the queen was killed by a grenade by the Chinese army, while the Chinese side accused the Americans of the barbaric act of "tearing up the votes......
For the tragic death of this little sister-in-law, although Chen Fang was a little embarrassed, he didn't particularly care, even if it was his late wife, the purpose he pursued back then was not simple, the utilitarian factor was greater than the feelings, not to mention that he was just a little sister-in-law who had not been seen for many years? Chen Fang was a businessman after all, and consolidating victory and dividing the spoils of war was what he cared about most.
Although Hawaii was once omitted, coupled with the fierce anti-Chinese in the local area, which destroyed Li Hui's earlier layout, Li He was almost completely blind to the local situation, but fortunately, Sakata Rokuro Fox faked the tiger and successfully obtained the leadership of Hawaii Japanese expatriates, and with the help of no less than 100,000 of these semi-natives, a lot of work can be carried out.
However, the Americans in Hawaii (including those who nominally became Hawaiian citizens) once made Li He a little big-headed, numerous and armed with guns, and still harbored strong hostility towards the coalition forces, and once it was not handled well, it would be a huge time bomb!
Straight to the tough side? It can be done, and the Chinese and Japanese armies still have obvious advantages in strength with the cannon fodder they have brought in, but first, they suffer heavy casualties, second, they take a long time, and third, they hinder international view, and there is a conflict with Li Hui's predetermined "rapid restoration of order."
So Huairou cage? What if someone hides and sneaks up on them? The number of regular troops available to Li He is still a little too small, as for those Japanese cannon fodder? Those guys were oppressed enough before, and no one looked at the personal vendetta of the Quasi-Annunciation, so can it still be called Huairou Circle?
"Just forcibly repatriate!" Li He thought about it and thought about it, but after implementing it, he found that this seemingly stupid method was exactly the most suitable solution, because Oahu is a small island, but there are a lot of merchant ships in Pearl Harbor, just to transport those white people. Theoretically, it can all be sent away in a few days......
As for those whites who did not want to leave Hawaii, the coalition command asked them to be placed in a concentration camp (a specially selected and vacated residential area with the advantage that several exits could be easily blocked with machine guns, making it difficult to escape) after being searched. ) in order to supervise until martial law is lifted. If they refuse this request or resist, the coalition forces will not be polite, as long as it is clear that they are enemies, they will be relatively easy to do.
Half a month later, the number of whites on Oahu had dropped to more than 10,000, which led to the shutdown of the island's shipyards and other high-tech businesses. Li He had no choice but to transfer some of the ship's technicians to the dock to at least ensure the base's ability to repair the ship.
However, this dilemma did not last long, because of the radio as a cover, after the coalition forces captured Pearl Harbor and reported the victory to the Chinese and Japanese governments, Li Hui immediately ordered the first batch of migrant ships that had already been prepared in Japan to set off immediately, and the rebuilt Japanese Navy finally got a chance to sail to sea, their task was to escort the more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians (more than 40,000 Chinese and Japanese immigrants plus a garrison brigade of the Chinese Navy), anyway, they would definitely not meet the main force of the US Navy, even if the current Japanese Navy is still young, It is also sure to be completed, the Chinese Navy has been fighting continuously in the past two years, and it is really too tired, Li Hui gave them a long vacation, so that everyone can take turns to rest and recover.
At the same time, good progress has been made in diplomacy, even beyond expectations, because the elder Chamberlain was recently transferred to the post of British Foreign Secretary, and Britain did not recognize the legitimacy of the "Republic of Hawaii" in the first place, the British Foreign Office was the first to jump out and praise the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii in a high-profile manner, and also won the support of Queen Victoria and British public opinion (after all, it has always been anti-American), so that the agents of financial capital in the cabinet and parliament can only stare dryly but have no choice. After all, at this time, the British royal family still has considerable influence, and the British political system also determines that public opinion cannot be completely ignored.
Although Britain's international prestige was greatly damaged after losing the war against China, after all, "a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen." Still, it maintained the strength and status of a first-class power, and Britain's first statement immediately triggered a chain effect. First of all, some second-class powers close to Britain followed suit, and then France also recognized the new government of the Kingdom of Hawaii for the purpose of currying favor with China and Britain, and then Tsarist Russia also praised the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii for the purpose of causing trouble.
As a result, the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii of "old bottles of new wine" was quickly recognized by most of the world's powers, which made Li Hui a little surprised, but what surprised him was still to come, US President Cleveland actually said that the previous coup d'état in Hawaii had nothing to do with the United States, but only a few American citizens acted recklessly, he was very happy to see the Kingdom of Hawaii back on track, and hoped that the two countries could restore diplomatic relations as soon as possible.
While Cleveland has historically portrayed itself as an anti-expansionist isolationist, Li Hui does not believe he sees a Chinese threat, otherwise why would the United States dramatically expand the Federal Army and launch an ambitious two-ocean naval program? In this case, Cleveland's purpose in doing so is obvious......
"He is deliberately pretending, first, to gain time to prepare for war, second, to paralyze us, and third, he may also want to use this to create a good image of peace, so as to win the sympathy and support of the European people in the future war against China, which is really a good calculation!" , Li Hui couldn't help but sneer after thinking about all this, "But he couldn't have imagined that time is on our side anyway!" (To be continued.) )
