Hirohito ended his conversation with Yang Chao and secretly returned to Japan as a warship, three days after he returned to Japan in early August, a month after the United States announced the immigration bill, suddenly something happened in Hawaii. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a result of the recent dispute between the United States and Japan, and the fact that Japan suddenly signed a military alliance with China, and other Asian countries joined the alliance to form the East Asia Mutual Protection Alliance, the whole world saw something unusual.

Hawaii is a special place, when the Americans annexed it, it was when Japan was plotting to start a war with the Qing government, and Japan did not have a plan to send warships to negotiate with the United States at that time, but unfortunately it gave up for the sake of the overall situation, and then there was no chance to get involved here.

After the military annexation of this place by the United States, a military base was built, and the iron barrel was built here, but it could not change the proportion of the population occupied by the Japanese.

Since Hawaii has the largest proportion of Japanese expatriates, the most affected by the U.S. immigration bill is these Japanese, which means that it will be difficult for the relatives of these Japanese to continue to immigrate to Hawaii, and they are very worried that the United States will take further action and introduce a law as draconian as the Chinese Exclusion Act, which will expel the Japanese from Hawaii step by step, and there are already a large number of Japanese bourgeoisie in Hawaii, who own sugar cane plantations, various shops and real estate, and once they are evicted, the losses will be extremely heavy.

In addition, the Japanese are very fond of gossip, so all kinds of news are flying in Hawaii during this time.

The actions of the Japanese government have made Americans very vigilant, so they have caused tensions between American officials and Japanese expatriates, and they are wary of each other.

The more vigilant you are, the more you feel that the other party is suspicious, and the more you feel that the other party is suspicious, the more likely it is that something will go wrong.

A Japanese merchant clashed with the American police on the street for unknown reasons, and the American police opened fire, but instead of killing the Japanese, the Japanese merchant suddenly pulled out a katana from the merchant's shoulder, hacked the two American policemen to death, and was killed by the police in the back.

After the outbreak of this incident, the Japanese diaspora organizations in Hawaii immediately took action, and more than 100 ronins stormed the police station at night, hacked to death dozens of policemen on duty, seized weapons depots, and snatched more than 100 rifles, and then announced through the radio that the Hawaiian people would stand up, establish the Republic of Hawaii, and break away from American rule.

The United States acted quickly and immediately dispatched troops to suppress it, but early the next morning, China, together with Japan and other countries, proposed to convene an emergency meeting at the League of Nations to discuss the Hawaii issue.

The League of Nations is similar to the United Nations in later generations, the procedure is very complicated, and when they discuss the results, they don't have dozens of days to think about it, and the United States did not participate in the League of Nations, President Wilson proposed the formation of the League of Nations, but the United States Congress did not approve it, because they decided that Wilson gave up too many interests, and the League of Nations was destined to be a puppet of Britain and France, so they refused to participate, which is quite ironic.

The United States is not a member of the League of Nations, and the decision of the League of Nations is not binding on the United States, and the reason why China is doing this is only to express an international attitude, throw this matter to the world, and use international public opinion to put pressure on the United States.

China immediately made demands to the other permanent members of the Council of the League of Nations, Britain, France, and Italy, to investigate and resolve the Hawaiian issue within the framework of the League of Nations.

But there has always been a certain hypocrisy in Eastern culture, the more you want to do something, the more you want to hide your true intentions, which the Chinese believe is a kind of art of war.

Therefore, Britain, France, and Italy still seriously participated in the discussion, and the Japanese representative put forward a series of demands at the League of Nations, believing that the Hawaii problem was caused by the mismanagement of the United States, and they demanded that the League of Nations intervene and demand that the Americans not use force to suppress it, because that would certainly cause casualties among innocent people, and more than half of the people in Hawaii are Japanese nationals.

The League of Nations seriously discussed the Japanese proposal, but in the end Britain and France both believed that the League of Nations was not suitable to intervene in Hawaiian affairs, and it was obvious that Britain and France had no vital interests in Hawaiian affairs.

Because at this time, in the understanding of Westerners, the direct cause of the Japanese diaspora uprising in Hawaii is unknown, but the root cause is still from the United States immigration bill, but the fundamental purpose of the United States immigration bill is to prevent immigrants from outside Northwest Europe from entering the country, Britain and France are actually the beneficiaries, they are the least restricted, and the annual influx of immigrants into the United States simply does not reach the share given by the Americans, but the Italian immigration has decreased by more than 75% under the restrictions of the United States.

So Italy supported the intervention of the League of Nations, but Britain did not.

Since the League of Nations could not solve this problem, the Chinese government jumped out and immediately announced that China strongly opposed the US military crackdown, because Hawaii also has a considerable number of Chinese expatriates.

Although China has severed economic relations with the United States, it has not severed diplomatic relations, and Ambassador Gu Weijun to the United States immediately handed over a strongly worded note, saying that if the United States takes military measures in Hawaii, China will have to take action to protect overseas Chinese, and does not rule out the practice of sending warships to Hawaii to evacuate overseas Chinese.

The United States expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, believing that if the Chinese navy entered Hawaii, it would be a serious violation of the United States, and the United States regarded it as a military attack.

Under the pressure of China and Japan, the Americans did not blindly suppress it, but made strict arrangements, and only began to suppress it three days later, and the order given by the US president to the Hawaiian garrison was that it was necessary to act quickly to suppress the Hawaiian rebellion in the shortest possible time, and not to give China and Japan the opportunity to intervene.

But the Americans did a careful operation, but they also gave the Japanese three days, and the Japanese acted very carefully, and after three days, they really could not resist the attack of up to 1,000 American troops, but they successfully withdrew from the city of Honolulu and moved into the countryside full of plantations.

The guerrilla war began, and it was impossible to suppress it in the short term, and journalists from all over the world flocked to Hawaii, regardless of whether the US government agreed or not, buy a ticket and go, at this time the Chinese government fully supported, and the cruise ships to Hawaii continued to operate as usual, and the passengers were almost all journalists.

The Japanese ronins who moved into the countryside not only caused problems for the suppression of the American garrison, but they also began to move around, raiding local police stations and attacking American shops, and the harassing American garrison was exhausted.

The U.S. government was very angry, but there was no way, the Hawaii garrison was originally a militia army, and they had to send marines to participate in the suppression, and the marines had not yet become famous, but their combat capabilities were still stronger than the militia, but they really killed a lot of Japanese ronin.

However, instead of decreasing, the number of Japanese ronin has become more and more numerous, because a large number of single coolies from Japanese rural plantations have also joined in, and because the countryside is full of Japanese expatriate plantations, it is too easy for the Japanese to hide, and it is too difficult for the Americans to search, and it is inevitable that innocent people will be injured, and every day innocent Japanese die under the guns of nervous American soldiers, and the louder the condemnation of Japan in the international community.

However, the Japanese government is very nervous, they are afraid that the Chinese government will not intervene militarily as promised, if that happens, the Japanese will be completely expelled from Hawaii without the help and sympathy of any country, and the white Europeans and Americans will not put their sympathy on the Japanese, and can only rely on China.

But the Chinese government was also nervous at this time, Pan Xun wanted to see Yang Chao several times, but in the end he held back, he decided to control everything himself, he was not Li Fuan, he was an assertive person.

But he's still nervous, and he's still excited, and the Hawaii incident is a great opportunity for him. Pan Xun has long wanted to expel American forces from Asia, and the presence of the Philippines is like a thorn in the vicinity of Taiwan, and the US fleet can reach the waters off Taiwan in less than an hour from the Philippines, which is unacceptable in any case.

Especially since China can expel the U.S. Navy from the Philippines in minutes as long as it goes to war, it is becoming more and more difficult to endure the Americans in the Philippines.

So the Hawaii incident made Pan Xun both nervous and excited, nervous because the United States is a big country after all, a world power with one of the best comprehensive national strength, so Pan Xun habitually wanted to see Yang Chao many times, let Yang Chao have an idea, making such a big decision is too much psychological pressure for him, if it were Li Fuan, it is estimated that he would have gone to Yang Chao a long time ago; What I am excited about is that we will finally pull out the Philippines, a barbed thorn rooted in China, and completely expel the United States, a country that is unfriendly to China, from China's sphere of influence.

Although he couldn't help but go to Yang Chao, Pan Xun was still very nervous and urgently met with senior officers of the Navy and Army.

Cheng Biguang, commander-in-chief of the Navy, assured Pan Xun that once a war breaks out with the United States, the Navy will gain absolute superiority, because the Chinese Navy has the ability to destroy the US Philippine Fleet and the entire US Pacific Fleet at the same time as the US Philippine Fleet before it rushes to the Pacific Ocean.

In this way, even if the US Atlantic Fleet rushes to the Pacific Ocean, the balance of naval forces between the two countries will greatly favor China, and China will gather all its naval combat forces to fight a decisive battle with the US Atlantic Fleet in the Pacific waters.

In short, Cheng Biguang believes that the Chinese navy, which has only one coastline, is more likely to concentrate its forces than the US navy with two oceans, and has an absolute advantage in the early stage of the war, because it is a battle of clenched fists against separated fingers.

Army Commander-in-Chief Wu Peifu arrogantly said that as long as the navy can ensure the landing of the army in the United States and ensure sufficient supplies, the Chinese army can destroy the United States within three months. (To be continued.) )
