In 1893, the Americans plotted to overthrow Queen Lily of Hawaii and turn it into a so-called "republic," which was de facto controlled by the Americans.

At this time, China in the Far East was still under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the only Beiyang sailor with the ability to sail in the ocean was still under the control of Li Zhongtang, honestly acting as a caretaker. Therefore, they did not know anything about what was happening on the vast sea thousands of miles away.

In 1895, Hawaiians who supported the Queen's rule in Weil. Cox's leadership plotted an uprising, which led to the revelation of more than 200 people, and the queen herself was sentenced to five years in prison and fined $5,000. Later, it was curtailed for fear of provoking a larger revolt.

At this time, Yang Hao's family had just passed through a year, and after winning the First Sino-Japanese War, they established a series of industrial miracles in Tianjin and became an important chess piece in Li Zhongtang's hands.

Although he had noticed the changes in Hawaii, Yang Hao still did not have the ability to intervene too much at this time, but he secretly found someone to spend money and tried to rescue Will. Cox and dozens of other rebels came out and secretly settled on their home soil, while the queen remained behind bars – the price to be paid for attracting the attention of Americans.

In 1897, at the behest of the expansionist President McKinley, the ruling organization of the Republic of Hawaii proposed that Hawaii be incorporated into the United States. At that time, Mr. President excitedly declared: "Merger is not a change, but a completion." ”

To him and most Americans, it was the culmination of a century of painstaking work by American traders, missionaries, whalers, plantation owners, and military and political diplomats.

But just as they were about to cheer and celebrate, the Chinese navy, which had just beaten up the multinational combined fleet, suddenly appeared in Hawaii. The revolutionary army led by Yang Hao made an unusually arrogant claim. China does not approve of the Hawaiian government's unilateral change of the status quo. When it comes to the fundamental interests of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese and overseas Chinese living on the islands, and on China's defense and security in the Pacific, it is necessary and determined for the Chinese Government and Navy to guarantee their legitimate rights and interests.

At the same time, under the escort of the Chinese Navy, Li Hongzhang launched the first global whirlwind diplomacy, and the powerful "Hebei-class" battleships appeared for the first time, which caused the global powers to compete in shipbuilding. There is a serious asymmetry in naval power between China and the United States.

When China protested. It was not long after they took control of the Philippines that the power of the great powers in the Far East was drawn into the whirlpool of war with Japan, and there was no way to spare more energy and no good way to confront China's maritime power.

So, when the huge Chinese warship appeared in Hawaii, the Eshannon. The so-called head of government, headed by Touré as interim "president," was suddenly intimidated. And President McKinley has no way to face the possibility of war breaking out at any time, and the U.S. government is even poorly prepared to lose Hawaii completely.

However, the Chinese navy did not launch a full-scale attack and occupation, and they quickly withdrew after receiving assurances from the "government of the Republic of Hawaii" that they would not unilaterally change the status quo. However, as a blow and punishment to the ambitions of the American side. The Chinese Navy unceremoniously seized Wake Island and began building a port and military base there. And the runway, which the Americans do not understand at all.

That is, starting in July 1898, China planted another unsinkable nail in the Pacific Islands of Guam and Saipan.

The island, less than 2,000 nautical miles from Hawaii, became a sharp knife in the chest of an American. For more than a decade, it has never been waved to the outside world, but it has always made Americans in Hawaii feel uncomfortable.

Since 1898, when China embarked on a large-scale overseas development, the number of Chinese who migrated from coastal areas to the surrounding peninsulas and islands soared. Hawaii was a transit point on the American-Asian commercial route, and trade flourished at a rocket-like pace.

Induced by the threat of the Chinese Navy and the enormous emergency interests, Hawaii was transformed into a semi-free port. On the surface, it is still guarded by American soldiers, there are always American warships moored in the harbor, and the coastal defense guns of larger and larger calibers are constantly being added to the batteries, and they have not forgotten to strengthen their defensive firepower inside and out.

China has turned a deaf ear to this and pretended not to see it, but the number of Chinese expatriates on the island is growing. By 1905, at the end of the first five-year plan of the New Chinese Dynasty, the proportion of Chinese expatriates on the Hawaiian Islands officially exceeded 50 percent.

Since then, under the manipulation of overseas intelligence agencies, Chinese, who have always been less inclined to participate in political activities, have launched a competition for political discourse. In what appears to be an open election for the head of government, it has won more than two-fifths of the seats.

The Americans were very wary of this, and they did not dare to use military means to suppress it, so they increased investment in Hawaii with the support of President Roosevelt and encouraged their own people to immigrate there, but the effect was not very good. In the tide of American immigration, those white-skinned people who arrived in North America were too lazy to be like pigs, and even the overseas Chinese piglets who traveled all the way to California couldn't compete, let alone the forces directly controlled by Yang Hao.

However, the Americans also had a way, and they encouraged the Japanese to immigrate to Hawaii in an attempt to use them to dilute the proportion of Chinese expatriates, but the results were not very successful. These people were bullied by the Chinese in their homeland, and the country was divided, and half of them became vassals. On the Hawaiian side, they lag behind the Chinese in all aspects, whether it is education, business, diligence, or management resources. Competition, it is impossible to succeed, the only advantage is the large number of Japanese prostitutes.

It is said that the Japanese have a similar weak concept of chastity, and they are not ashamed of selling their bodies. After the island of Kyushu was divided, the Japanese government very happily adopted the national policy of "sacrificing a generation of girls in exchange for the capital of a powerful country".

In Korea, the Ryukyus, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, Hawaii, and even California, where Japanese prostitutes and women are allowed to operate, tens of thousands of Japanese girls bravely shoulder the hope of the rejuvenation of the Yamato nation, and carry small burdens to fight in all kinds of bad buildings and halls. In exchange for various pieces of paper, they were accumulated and sent back to the small treasury of the Japanese government, which greatly replenished the government's financial resources, which were drying up day by day.

For this almost murderous way of rejuvenation. Conservative Chinese expressed their bewilderment. It's hard to imagine and accept. But that doesn't stop them from doing it. The main reason is the existence of Japanese prostitutes, which greatly solves the key physiological needs of Chinese immigrants.

Chinese people are all mainland ethnic groups in their bones, and even those who first went out to break through were because they could not survive at home. Once they made money and the new dynasty was established, they immediately began to return to their hometowns to build a large number of buildings, and the leaves fell back to their roots.

However, the new government of the second plane made restrictions early. If overseas immigrants want to come back, they have to hand over at least half of their property and then buy real estate at a high price. The large amount of money they earned overseas could only be invested in the industrial and commercial fields, and the good things that used to buy land for local owners were completely gone.

The number of women in these diasporas is less than one-tenth of the total, which can be said to be very rare. Some people had no choice but to marry Nanyang women as concubines. It was also forced to be helpless. And most expats don't even have the possibility of starting a family, and usually want to solve physiological problems. are more difficult.

As everyone knows, the accumulation of such problems will cause great trouble. The emergence of Japanese prostitutes and women has become a timely rain to solve the problem. After being exploited by Chinese gangs, Japanese gangs, and government representatives, tens of thousands of Japanese women became a new force to satisfy the needs of overseas expatriates.

They have a very similar appearance to the Chinese, gentle temperament and very good at serving, extremely patient, can withstand any tricks of tossing, except for a slightly ugly appearance, the others are the best choice.

Not surprisingly, Kazume became one of the most popular Japanese, and there is no one. Millions of Chinese expatriates alone are enough to take care of their skin-meat business.

In just a few years, the foreign exchange created by Japanese prostitutes and women has become the most important source of revenue for the Japanese government, and its income is even higher than the sale of gold and silver.

After being crushed by China, Japan's industrial and agricultural products were severely hit and there was no way to sell them. Later, the global scale of fishing, led by the Chinese navy, squeezed their fishermen to the ground. The entire country's economy is on the verge of collapse, and those with a lot of foreign debts can't afford to sell the three artifacts of the royal inheritance.

All in all, the strategy of using the Japanese as a counterweight to Chinese immigrants was rather unsuccessful.

After 1905, the Native Hawaiian movement began to recover. In Will. Under Cox's organizational activities, a large number of resistance forces increased rapidly, and became one of the three dominant forces in Hawaii in a semi-open organizational form.

With the covert support of the Chinese authorities, the Hawaii Restoration Organization secretly sought the restoration of the dynasty with Queen Lily as its leader. On the other hand, it is Will. Cox openly selected government officials and was sought after by a large number of Bumiputerans, becoming a rising political star.

To be honest, whether it is for the American colonists, or for the Chinese diaspora, or for the Japanese, the old people of the Hawaiian Kingdom are a belly of opinion. They can't compete with these outsiders in all aspects, and now almost all of them have been reduced to wage earners, watching outsiders become landlords, rich people, or something, which is quite envious, jealous and hateful.

But they didn't have enough smart minds to compete, so they could only grit their teeth and stare and drool. Will. Cox was like a light in the night, illuminating their future at once. Thus, without much effort, a new political force with a huge mass base appeared in a magnificent manner.

Their high-profile activities, and the covert maneuvers of the dynastic restoration organizations, greatly attracted the attention of the Americans, let alone the merger, and the maintenance of the rule alone was a great problem.

At this time, the Americans had completely seen through the face of the Yang Hao government, and resolutely could not give him any chance, and under the guise of "protecting overseas Chinese," they put the navy everywhere, which was too scary.

Even the global visit of the "Great White Fleet" under the support of President Roosevelt, a show of force, was followed by the Chinese Navy's round-the-world visit. Subsequently, the battleship fleet obtained by the Germans slapped the British in the face in the Pacific and Atlantic, and for the first time made the Americans correctly realize how strong the strength of the Chinese Navy is!

Don't look at the fact that the Americans have built 20 battleships before and after, the latest "Delaware-class" battleships even have 10 305mm guns. But the thin body with a full row of 22,325 tons is very fragile under China's huge physique with the same displacement of 30,000 tons. The 45 times diameter gun it uses, in terms of range, rate of fire, penetration, and accuracy, is far inferior to the old 50 times 305 gun, or the new 356mm gun.

The current President of the United States, Taft, is a man of little courage, who pursues gold-dollar diplomacy and intends to solve all problems with money. The Chinese government welcomes any overseas investment without political terms, and certainly does not exclude American capital, on the condition that it does not participate in areas that are the lifeblood of the country's economy, and that everything else can be tried.

However, in this era, China's own national industries have already started, and the capital of local industrial and commercial people is no less than that of the Americans, and the level of technology and product quality is still surpassing, and the management and efficiency are not at the same level. American capital comes in, can only act as an apprentice and supplement, and if it wants to dominate, it is simply impossible.

Not surprisingly, the situation in the Pacific seems to be about to continue in this ambiguous way. But both China and the United States know that this is almost impossible. China and the United States have never given up the struggle for hegemony in the Pacific. Especially when China intervened in the construction of the Panama Canal and obtained a supply point in the Americas by the way, the Americans were like thorns in their backs, and they were unable to do anything.

At the end of September 1910, China initially completed the deployment of the western strategy and launched a vigorous continental expansion movement, which gave people a sense of self-chaos in the context of stopping the war with Tsarist Russia.

But at the same time period, the Chinese Navy, which had been silent for a long time, quietly moved.

In October, China's four major theater commands completely completed the preparation and deployment work. Immediately, the 3rd Theater of Operations launched its first operational plan. In the middle of the year, it quietly drove the naval forces out of the mainland, crossed the entire inland sea without any alarm, and reached Guam, and from there diverted to Wake Island.

Along the way, the whole process was kept in strict secrecy, without alarming any forces, avoiding the voyeurism of any ships, and there were as many as 20 destroyers and submarines responsible for clearing the site, and light cruisers were even more monitoring all ships of various countries in this sea area.

All actions are aimed at disguising the two brand-new ships in the fleet.

If someone from later generations sees it, they will surely exclaim in amazement - aircraft carriers! (To be continued.) )
