In fact, it was beneficial for the United States to sell Hawaii to China at this time, because Hawaii is now no longer under the control of the U.S. government, and the United States wants to use money to buy supplies from China and then ship them back to the United States, and they must go through Hawaii, after all, this route is the closest.

After selling Hawaii to China, the Chinese government must send troops to gain actual control, and the U.S. government can just ship a large amount of supplies back to the United States by ship after China controls Hawaii, and this is also one of Wright's requirements, after the deal is reached, China immediately sends troops to control Hawaii.

Xiao Zhenlei's attitude towards this was unbelievable, and someone sent a pillow just when he wanted to fall asleep, and after the deal was reached, Huaguo immediately held a press conference to announce the news.

After the news broke, the Chinese people were of course elated, singing and dancing, and newspapers and radio reports were all day long, and the international community showed great concern about the matter.

Since the outbreak of civil strife in the United States, the heads of state, including Xiao Zhenlei, sent a telegram to US President Wilson to express their condolences and sympathy, and hoped that Wilson would put the chaos in order in the shortest possible time. This is also the reason why Americans are looking for people to borrow money but can't borrow it, and finally they can only come to China.

Now it is super news that the U.S. government has sold Hawaii and Alaska to China. This news made the eyes of all the Western media and government officials fall for a while, and this change is too fast, right? How can the situation change so quickly?

In the eyes of Western countries and the media. The situation in the United States is indeed dangerous, and the situation of the US government is indeed very difficult. But it's not hard enough to sell Hawaii and Alaska, right? In fact, they don't know that because the United States is in a state of chaos and is not well-informed, many people know that the news is still half a month ago, and now the situation in the United States is getting worse day by day.

Xiao Zhenlei ignored the uproar in the Western media, sending troops to recover Hawaii and Alaska is the most important thing, why is it to recover instead of seizing? Because the sovereignty of these two places has already belonged to China, and they are now controlled by the two local governments of the former United States.

There is a fleet in Hawaii, which is not very large. Most of the previous US naval fleets were on the east coast to guard against German naval fleets and submarines, but there were not many on the west coast, and even fewer naval ships in Hawaii, and after the outbreak of civil strife in the United States, the original US naval fleet was bought and divided by various local forces, and the fleet in Hawaii consisted of only two old battleships, five cruisers, eight destroyers, and some small ships.

Soon after signing the agreement with Wright, Xiao Zhenlei convened a military conference to discuss with the military generals about sending troops to recover Hawaii and Alaska.

Alaska is easy to say. The American warlords there were not very strong, there was basically no navy, and the number of land forces was pitiful, and it was more than enough to send a convoy to escort two divisions over. Just wipe out the warlords in Alaska, it's not a big problem.

The situation is a bit different in Hawaii, where there are not many land forces. It has a naval fleet that is not weak in combat and a strong naval base port, and it will take a lot of work to take down Pearl Harbor.

The room was filled with smoke. Xiao Zhenlei looked at the generals sitting there and asked, "The strength of two fleets and two divisions is so simple, maybe you don't need the strength of one division to fight Hawaii at all." However, in order to be well prepared, it is better to transfer one division to the past, which two divisions do you think should be sent, and what size of the fleet to Alaska and Hawaii should be sent? ”

In view of the situation in Hawaii and Alaska, after discussion by the Supreme Military Council, Xiao Zhenlei ordered the First Pacific Fleet to escort one division of troops to Alaska, and sent the Third Pacific Fleet to attack Pearl Harbor and the Hawaiian Fleet there.

Vice Admiral Zheng Dahai was ordered to lead the Third Pacific Fleet to attack the Hawaiian Fleet and Pearl Harbor, and the 93rd Division of the Army was responsible for landing on the island and taking it.

The Chinese army moved very quickly, and it took only five days to complete the assembly. Although there were still millions of troops attacking Russia in Europe, it was possible to send troops to attack Hawaii and Alaska in the Pacific.

On the night of 29 October, the Third Pacific Fleet secretly departed from Japan's Yokosuka Naval Base, along with dozens of large troop carriers from the Army's 93rd Division.

The Third Pacific Fleet has two regular aircraft carriers, two old-style battleships, two new-style battleships, 12 light and heavy cruisers, 12 destroyers, 12 submarines, and dozens of auxiliary ships of various kinds. Two of the aircraft carriers are capable of carrying 96 carrier-based aircraft, and the heavy cruisers have a displacement of more than 10,000 tons.

On November 7, the Pacific Fleet arrived in the waters off Midway.

Zheng Dahai stood in the command cabin of the battleship "Qingyun" and looked ahead with a telescope, and a vague island figure appeared on the sea, "Staff Officer Pan, what is the place ahead?" ”

Operational staff officer Pan Lin said: "General, the front is Midway!" ”

Zheng Dahai observed for a while, and ordered: "Midway Island is not far from Hawaii, and the herald orders are to send two more reconnaissance planes close to the sea to conduct reconnaissance patrols, report any situation, notify other reconnaissance aircraft pilots, focus on searching for the Hawaiian fleet, and any ships found on the way, including merchant ships, will be temporarily detained, and they will not be allowed to leave until the battle starts!" ”

Pan Linli saluted: "Yes, General!" ”

The Hawaiian side is not foolish, since China announced that it had purchased Hawaii and Alaska from the United States, the cruise center of gravity of the Hawaiian fleet began to shift to the southwest and northwest, and only a small number of forces were deployed in the waters east of Hawaii.

By November 10, the Third Fleet had detained more than 20 large merchant ships, all of which were freighters of more than 10,000 tons, and among these merchant ships were both Chinese merchant ships and merchant ships of other countries, and the Chinese fleet did not attack these merchant ships, but only fired warning shots and told them to stop when intercepting these merchant ships, and then the marines took the speedboat merchant ships to control the radio on the merchant ships, forbade anyone to use radio to communicate with the outside world, and then let these merchant ships turn around and walk with the fleet.

On the battleship Qingyun, Zheng Dahai was looking at the chart, and Pan Lin, the combat staff officer, came in and reported: "General, the captains of those detained merchant ships and cruise ships are jointly protesting, and they are asking to see you!" ”

In addition to most of the ships detained this time, there are also several 10,000-ton cruise ships, which are basically going to China or are going to dock at Chinese ports.

After hearing this, Zheng Dahai waved his hand without raising his head: "Don't see you, don't see them, give me a good look at them, and no one is allowed to touch the radio equipment on any ship, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

"We have sent marines to control the radio equipment on all ships. General, you can't see anyone else, but there are a few unusual people on those two ships, I'm afraid you'll have to see them! ”

Zheng Dahai turned around and frowned when he heard this: "Who is it?" Do I have to see it? ”

Pan Lin said: "Premier Song's younger brother Song Renjie! ”

"Who?"

Pan Lin could only repeat one more time: "Premier Song's younger brother Song Renjie!" ”

Zheng Dahai asked, "What position does he hold now?" ”

"This ?????? Song Renjie is not a public servant," Pan Lin said after a moment's hesitation.

Zheng Dahai said angrily: "I am the commander of the Third Pacific Fleet, vice admiral!" He Song Renjie is a common man, he wants me to see him, do I have to go to see him? Vice Admiral is so worthless? Is the commander of the Third Fleet in the Pacific just an idle post? ”

Pan Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "General, I understand what you mean, it's just that this Song Renjie is not an ordinary person, he relies on himself to be Premier Song's younger brother, he is often overbearing and unreasonable, but he rarely bullies ordinary people, and the disgusting person is a powerful person, like you, is the object of his disgust!" ”

Zheng Dahai said angrily: "Fart, shit! He wants to disgust Lao Tzu? His grandmother's is a psychopath, Lao Tzu is too lazy to deal with him, you don't want to think about it, it's good if I don't see him, if I see him, he asks to send a report to the family, do I agree or not, what if I agree and leak the military information? If I don't agree, how will I answer when Premier Song asks me in the future? So, just don't see it all, no matter who he is, now it's the king Lao Tzu on those cruise ships, and Lao Tzu won't go to see him! Tell the people below that if Song Renjie makes trouble again, lock him up for me, and the others are the same, tell them that if anyone makes trouble again, lock them all up! ”

Pan Lin saw that Zheng Dahai was determined not to see those people, so he had to agree: "Yes, general!" I'll just say you're too busy to leave."

Zheng Dahai waved his hand: "Go, go, go!" ”

Zheng Dahai didn't expect that there would be a second ancestor like Song Renjie on those cruise ships, this guy relied on himself to be Song Shijie's younger brother, and often didn't take anyone seriously, but although this guy was stubborn, he didn't cause any big trouble, he was just an oily character, always disgusting, and others couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only avoid him, making him more and more rampant.
