The gentle sea breeze blows softly, but it also shows a hint of coolness on a slightly hot night, and in the gardens of the Chan Estate in Honolulu, tall trees clearly set off the starry sky. The waltz music is heard in the garden www.biquge.info the pen and the electric lamp hanging above the garden reflects the brilliant light.

At this time, a dozen or so servants were preparing dinner in the garden, and they were making the final preparations for the dinner according to the orders of the master of the manor, and since the dinner was attended by more than a hundred people, the banquet would be held under the canopy of the lawn. The garden is adorned with Chinese lanterns, arranged in the American imagination of China, and the tables are covered with candles and flowers, a kind of pomp that can only be seen on the most lavish tables in Hawaii.

For Hawaii, this banquet meant peace and the end of the "farce" -- after the U.S. State Department withdrew its consul in Hawaii and the Admiralty ordered the U.S. Navy not to intervene in Hawaiian affairs, after receiving a pardon from the Queen of Hawaii, President Sanford of the Interim Government? Dole announced the dissolution of the provisional government and returned power to Queen I of Hawaii. On the same day, the provisional government of Lahaina was also dissolved.

It seems that everything is back to square one, no, in fact Hawaii has changed, let's say that the Hawaiian Queen I, after the coup d'état, was fully aware of the ambitions of the Americans. And the Chinese who preside over "justice" are full of favorability, after all, everyone knows that without China's tough intervention, the Hawaiian king is very likely to become history.

The incident seems to have ended smoothly, at least on the surface, and everything is back to the cause. In the last few days. The banquets in Honolulu are one after the other. The atmosphere of those banquets without exception was friendly and cheerful, and as invited guests, after attending many banquets, the Legation in Hawaii held banquets in the Chen family's mansion to repay the enthusiastic "American expatriate".

Of course, everyone knows very well that after this banquet, the fleets of both China and the United States will leave the island in the Pacific Ocean. Everything will come back to square one.

After nightfall, the guests arrived one after another, and most of them were attracted not by warm invitations, but by the legendary cuisine - almost every American who has tasted Chinese food will be full of praise for Chinese food, and some even say that the chef brought by His Excellency the Minister was once the chef of the emperor, and God may know that the so-called "royal chef" is only a ship's cook.

When the guests from the United States are coming. The Chinese ministers, as well as the officers of the navy and marines, who were the masters, had already put on their magnificent dresses. Welcoming the guests, the cheerful music echoed in the Chen Garden, and the naval officers from China warmly communicated with the American officers, and occasionally invited the American ladies to dance, and there was a great feeling of laughter and hatred.

While the garden was filled with cheerful music, Juliet, the owner of the Chen estate and the "regent" of the former Hawaiian Provisional Government (Lahaina), was a little distracted, noticing that her favorite granddaughter, Andy, had disappeared again.

"Where did Andy go?"

"Madame,"

The local maid hurriedly replied,

"It should be at the banquet, Miss's favorite place to be lively."

"Oh,"

Juliet nodded meaningfully.

"Let's hope so, let's go down too."

Although Juliet was over fifty years old, her appearance still had the beauty of her youth, and she was dressed in jewels, and when she entered the garden through a door, it immediately attracted people's attention, and the minister to Hawaii personally greeted her, gave her a few appropriate compliments, and then asked her to take his arm and lead her to a seat.

Once seated, Juliet looked around again, wanting to see where Andy, her favorite granddaughter, was.

"You're looking for Andy, aren't you?"

A lady next to her said with a smile.

"Yes,"

Juliet nodded in reply.

"How could she miss such a banquet?"

"Your Royal Highness, of course Miss Andy will not miss this, Mrs. Sanders met Miss Andy before, she walked with a Chinese officer, and she still holds a bouquet of flowers in her hand......"

When someone at the banquet revealed Andy's whereabouts to Princess Juliet, on the beach in Chen's garden, Andy walked beside Li Ziyuan with a smile on his face, at this time he looked quite handsome in a Marine corps dress, but his expression was a little nervous, and he always looked involuntarily towards the brightly lit garden.

"What excuse are you going to make this time?"

Noticing that the man next to him looked absent-minded, Andy said with some amusement. Because her mother is an American, her personality is more American than Chinese, especially after her grandfather returned to China, without family constraints, her personality is already flamboyant, she has always been a flower in Hawaiian high society, I don't know how many people pursue.

But when she was in Lahaina, she was attracted by the "foolish wood" around her who didn't understand the amorous feelings, but she didn't think there was anything, in the story of grandma, isn't grandpa also a foolish wood who doesn't understand the amorous feelings?

"I think, I think, Miss Chen, I ......"

Originally, I wanted to say that as the highest commander of the Hawaiian Marine Corps, he should return to the banquet, but when the words came to his lips, the taste changed.

"Tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the fleet will return home!"

When he said this, Li Ziyuan almost didn't want to bite his tongue, but when he turned his head, he looked at the girl next to him, and looked at the bright and smart eyes through the moonlight, but at this moment, he was a little lost.

As the commander of the 1st Marine Battalion, he originally came to Hawaii just to obey orders, but in his opinion, it was nothing more than two ends, one was to die in Hawaii, and the other was to complete the mission and return home victoriously. But he didn't expect to meet this girl here, a girl who made him even willing to take off his military uniform for her.

Although there is an urge to take off his military uniform and retire to the people, Li Ziyuan will not do that, five years ago. As the young master's scholar, he came to the capital with the young master from Guizhou. Later, the young master died of illness and lived in the capital. Li Ziyuan, who begged to Shandong along the road, felt that he owed a life to the marshal, if it wasn't for the marshal to recruit soldiers, I am afraid that this life would have been lost in Shandong, and there is still today's scenery.

Can...... Looking at the girl next to him, thinking that he was going to leave for China tomorrow, Li Ziyuan's mind sank, and his expression was still tense when he realized that this farewell might be forever. I can't be happy anyway.

"That ......"

Andy bit his lip lightly, hesitating whether to say something, why should she say something? Why didn't he know what to say?

"Returning home? You should have been looking forward to it for a long time! ”

Perhaps, just like her grandfather, she returned to China without hesitation, leaving her grandmother, uncle, uncle and thirteen aunts here, although she had a quarter of Chinese blood in her body, but she could not understand the Chinese's nostalgia for her homeland.

"I ...... I do not know! ”

The rare Li Ziyuan revealed his thoughts, even if there was still some hiding.

"If I ......"

And what if? Hurry up. If you say it, me. I'm going to go, Andy looked at the man next to her with some anxiety, and until now she can remember seeing him running in the morning sun on the beach in Lahaina, and sometimes, that glance is a lifetime.

"If I wrote to you, would you reply? Miss Andy. ”

This dead log!

Despite complaining in her heart, Andy finally relented, nodded in agreement, and when she told him that she would reply to him, she no longer walked forward, but stood by the sea, looking at the sea, looking a little lost.

Under the coconut grove tree, the gentle sea breeze is blowing, in the sound of the waves, the two of them look at the sea quietly, Li Ziyuan looks at the girl next to him from time to time, and looks at the tulle dress on her body through the moon, revealing half of her chest and two white arms, which looks so tempting, but surprisingly, he doesn't have any **, at least at this time, he has no one, looking at the girl next to him, Li Ziyuan only has an urge to hug her, want to tell her, I hope she can go to China with him. But in the end, he still couldn't speak, so he could only look at her stupidly.

"It seems that tonight is an important day, and you can't be absent."

After a sudden smile, Andy stared up at the stars in the eastern sky, and put away all the sadness in his heart.

"Let's go back!"

"Hmm!"

Although he was a little reluctant and a little reluctant, after Andy said this, he had to suppress his inner thoughts and strode towards the garden with her.

"Goodbye, Hawaiian ......"

When the banquet at Chan's Garden entered the high tide on a merchant ship in the harbor of Honolulu, Sanford? Dole, the former president of the interim government and the owner of the Dole family, the richest of Hawaii's five families, looked with sentimental eyes at Honolulu, the land he regarded as his home.

The man who was dubbed "the Sam of the Pacific" by the American press for orchestrating an expatriate government? Houston", the former president of Hawaii's interim government, ultimately failed to be as Sam? Houston, in general, gave "Hawaii as a gift to the United States of America", and even had to leave Hawaii and return to the United States after everything was over.

Despite the fact that at the request of President Cleveland, Queen I reluctantly pardoned all the participants in the coup, still demanded that Sanford? Dole sold all his assets and left Hawaii, for this request, the U.S. government sensibly expressed its silence, and the silence of the United States made him have to accept this condition, sell all the land and real estate he held and leave Hawaii, because the number of relationships in the past, and it was sold in a short period of time, and finally the Dole family used the wealth accumulated for more than 70 years to sell only 2.7 million US dollars at a low price, and the person who bought the land turned out to be the Beiyang Fishery Company.

The land of the Dole family is centered on Pearl Bay, and he is naturally more willing to sell to the Americans than to sell to the Chinese, but the other four major families have no intention of buying at this time out of caution, and although the US Navy is interested in buying, it does not have the funds, and eventually Pearl Bay and the Dole family's industry have become the property of the Chinese.

For Sanford, though? For Dole, what he cherishes is not the assets of the Dole family, $2.7 million is enough to make up for the loss of the Dole family, and he believes that investing this money in the thriving homeland of the United States will undoubtedly get a richer return, and the only thing that makes him regret is that he missed the opportunity to dedicate this land to the United States.

"Fox, my friend, you see right now, the United States has missed everything because of his short-sightedness!"

Fox standing on the side of the ship, compared to Sanford? Dole, the former minister, undoubtedly paid more for the fact that Congress needed someone to take responsibility for the Hawaii incident, and the Navy, as in the past, put all the blame on the minister. As a minister, he undoubtedly violated the laws of the United States by mobilizing the navy to carry out a coup d'état in another country without authorization, and after returning to Washington, he will be waiting for a series of congressional hearings. Originally, if he had succeeded, he would have been with Sanford? Dole, like him, became a hero in the United States, but now, he is just a loser. What awaits the losers?

"Yes, the United States will pay for his short-sightedness, but Dole ......"

After a pause, Fox vs. Sanford? Dole said.

"We can see that this time our failure, ostensibly because of the interference of the Chinese, but in fact the root cause is because of Washington's conservatism, they believe that overseas expansion violates the spirit of the Declaration of Independence, but they obviously forget that if it were not for the efforts of generations of Americans, how could there be the United States today? ”

Staring at the lights of Honolulu, Fox continued.

"Three days ago, I received a letter from Mr. Roosevelt, Director of the Public Service Bureau, in which he expressed sympathy for our plight, and this time, our actions were indeed a little too hasty, just as we ignored the reaction of the Chinese, and Mr. Roosevelt believed that if we could reach a consensus with the Admiralty, it would never end like this. Sanford believes me, right now, things are changing in Washington, Cleveland ......"

When referring to the American president who did not recognize the Provisional Government, Fox did not have any respect on his face, and even in his eyes, without Cleveland's concessions, the Provisional Government would not have been dissolved at all, and he would still be able to dedicate this land to the United States, and not leave Hawaii in disgrace as he is now.

"His mistake will be proven by history, and Hawaii ...... My friend, trust me, we will definitely be back! ”

Will definitely come back, Sanford? Dole silently repeated this sentence in his heart, and muttered silently when he found the light of Chen's manor in that brightly lit area.

"Will definitely be back, will definitely be back......"
