In the palace of Ilani, in a palace, Queen Liliukarani of Hawaii was standing in front of the window, watching the fireworks that continued to explode in the sky, and the firelight reflected on her cold face, which seemed so cold and lonely.

"It's Hawaii, and those damn white people, they're celebrating American Day on Hawaiian soil! They should have been hanged in the first place! Queen Liliukarani said through gritted teeth.

In '95, the Hawaiian royalists tried to restore the kingdom, but the attempt failed, and Liliukalani was arrested. She was forced to sign the Wen Jiàn, renounce any future claims to the throne, and was subjected to a humiliating public trial. The court sentenced her to five years in prison and a fine of $5,000. However, the court later shortened her sentence and imprisoned her in the palace instead. During his imprisonment, Liliukalani spent his days reading, sewing quilts, weaving, and composing music. According to statistics, she composed nearly 65 songs during that period, most of which were very sad.

However, the thought of being imprisoned here forever, until she died, made Queen Liliukarani's heart cold. As an island nation in the Pacific, Hawaii is too weak to face the United States, and has no ability to fight back at all, so she can only sit back and watch the United States subvert her rule. Although imprisoned, she is not ignorant of the news from the outside world, and is now the president of the Republic of Hawaii, Sandford? Dole and his followers are plotting to annex Hawaii to the United States, much to her anger. However, she could do nothing but lead her country to perish step by step.

"Dear brother, I'm sorry. It is because of my incompetence that our country is going to perdition! "Queen Liliukarani blames herself very much. When the Americans staged a coup d'état, she ordered surrender without any resistance, so that this coup d'état did not show bloodshed, only one policeman was injured. And now, the queen regrets her original choice very much. Even if they were at a disadvantage at the time, with the support of the Hawaiian people, she might not have failed. All because of her kindness. The Kingdom of Hawaii has entered a land of no return.

"Hello, Her Majesty! Your country will not perish! At this time, the door of the palace was opened, and a young yellow man in a black tightsuit entered the palace and closed the door.

"Who are you? Why is it here? Queen Liliukarani was shocked at the sudden appearance of the stranger in front of her.

"Your Majesty, please be quiet, don't bring those Americans here. I snuck in! I'm here to help you and your country! The person hurriedly said.

"All right, sir. Please tell me who you are and what your purpose is! Queen Liliukarani calmed down and asked.

"Her Majesty the Queen, my name is Huang Zhiming, I am from China, and I serve the great Chinese emperor. The Americans have shamelessly subverted your country, which is an extremely shameless practice, and our country is willing to help you and your country! Huang Zhiming said that he was actually an officer of the CIA. Two years ago, after Wang Yuze revealed that he wanted to do something to Hawaii, he was stationed in Hawaii. Of course, his other identity is that of a sugar trader. Hawaii controls more than 50 percent of the world's sugar trade, and another 70 percent of the canned pineapple processing industry, but ironically, no assets belong to the state except for the large sugar cane plantations on the island of Hawaii, which belong to the Queen.

"Will you help me get rid of the Americans?" Queen Liliukarani said in surprise. The joy in his eyes flashed.

"Of course, we're more than happy to help!" Huang Zhiming said with a smile.

So, what do I have to give? Don't tell me you're going to help me for free, I don't believe there's going to be a free lunch! Queen Liliukarani said.

"Of course. We are willing to help you, also for our own benefit. You should know that the United States is getting stronger and stronger, and we, China, will also rise. The Pacific Ocean cannot accommodate two powerful countries at the same time, and sooner or later China and the United States will compete with the United States for the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii's geographical location is so important that whichever country gets Hawaii will be able to take the lead in the future competition for the Pacific! Huang Zhiming confessed. Liliukalani, as the queen of the Hawaiian Kingdom, is obviously not easy to fool, so he simply told the truth. Anyway, the current Queen Liliukarani is also in a predicament, and China is definitely her only lifeline.

"Humph! You want my land too! Queen Liliukarani said angrily. These so-called big countries are full of benevolence and morality, but secretly, they do some despicable and dirty things, which are obviously as black as crows in the world!

"No, no, Your Majesty, you misunderstood! We are not the same as the Americans, who want to completely annex your country, but we are different. His Majesty the Emperor will guarantee the territorial integrity of Hawaii and will protect the security of Hawaii. All you need to do is declare the Kingdom of Hawaii a vassal state of our Chinese Empire, and lease Oahu and Kauai to us as a naval base against the United States! Huang Zhiming said.

"Concessions to Oahu and Kauai? No, it won't work! Queen Liliukarani immediately refused. Although Hawaii has many islands, and there are five relatively large islands, the most important part is Oahu.

"We can pay you a million dollars a year for the lease of Oahu and Kauai. In addition, the security and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Hawaii will be guaranteed. Her Majesty, what are you waiting for? You know, now US President William? McKinley has already submitted to the council whether to allow Hawaii to become the 50th state of the United States. Once they get the congressional pass, then the kingdom of Hawaii is truly finished! Huang Zhiming said. Although the price of one million yuan a year is a bit expensive, Hawaii's sugar trade alone is enough to earn dozens of times the profit for China, and enough for China's garrison in Hawaii.

Queen Liliukarani hesitated, of course she knew that this was the last chance, and if she refused, the Kingdom of Hawaii would really die. However, the conditions of the Chinese are too harsh, which makes her a little reluctant. "Mr. Huang, I leased Pearl Harbor to your navy, can you?" Queen Liliukarani said. Of course, she knew that China valued Pearl Harbor as a good harbor.

Huang Zhiming shook his head, and then said: "Your Majesty, we not only need a port, but also build Hawaii into a bridgehead against the United States, and we need to deploy a large number of troops here. The geography between Oahu and Kauai is perfect for our garrison. Your Majesty, whether the Kingdom of Hawaii will be successfully restored or destroyed is all in your thoughts! ”

Queen Liliukarani was silent for a few minutes, but finally nodded, there was no other way for her to do it now.

"I have one condition, your country must guarantee to preserve the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Hawaii." Queen Liliukarani said she was afraid that after China gained a foothold in Hawaii, it would annex Hawaii like the United States.

"Of course, we can guarantee it!" Huang Zhiming said and replied immediately. The real value of Hawaii is mainly Oahu, and as for the other islands, they are not very important, and there is absolutely no reason for China to lose faith in the Kingdom of Hawaii in this regard.

"Finally, those shameful rebels must be handed over to me for trial!" Queen Liliukarani said through gritted teeth. After several years in captivity, she was very angry with these rebels, and she had accumulated to a very terrible point.

Huang Zhiming hesitated, those rebels are all American expatriates! There are even Americans directly involved in it, and Queen Liliukarani is obviously not going to let go of those rebels. If she had put all the rebels to death, it would be a problem.

"What? Can't you even grant me this little request? Won't China protect the safety of the Hawaiian Kingdom? How does this make me believe that China has such strength? Queen Liliukarani said.

"Well, Her Majesty, I promise you. You will get to the strength of China! Huang Zhiming said.

"So, how long will it be before you do it?" Queen Liliukarani asked with some eagerness. She didn't want to live a day like this in captivity again.

"Your Majesty, our fleet has already set off, calculate the time, and it will be able to arrive in Hawaii in about half a month. So we'll get our hands on it in ten days! Huang Zhiming said. The Kingdom of Hawaii did not have many troops at all, only a musket corps of more than 1,000 men at the time of the rebellion, and there were no heavy weapons. And the squadron has already had a battalion of troops mixed into Hawaii, not carrying heavy artillery, but it has weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars, which is enough to defeat the army of the Republic of Hawaii.

"Okay! Mr. Huang, are you going to find Charles? Mr. Wilson! He's the Marshal of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and he's here to help! Give him this and he will believe you. Queen Liliukarani said. Then he handed the necklace around his neck to Huang Zhiming.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't be long before you become the queen of the Hawaiian Kingdom again!" Huang Zhiming said. It would be great if there was the support of the native Hawaiians, which would make it easier for China to move. After putting away the necklace, Huang Zhiming immediately left the palace of Ilanni.

In Queen Liliukarani's heart, there is a glimmer of expectation, and her country may be preserved.
