Chapter 631: Hawaii Upheaval (1)
The warm and humid sea breeze always blows people drunk.
In Hawaii's beautiful climate, the most important thing people want to do is to lie comfortably under a beach umbrella, hold a cold drink in hand, and use a big straw hat to shield themselves from the harsh sun, and enjoy a long afternoon.
The only drawback is that there are no bikini beauties here, at most there are some women in tightly wrapped one-piece swimsuits, but they can still cause a strange howl of ghosts and wolves, and a lot of nosebleeds.
But in the days following October, the people of Oahu began to feel an inexplicable sense of tension spreading, and the small traders and vendors on the streets began to notice that business had become worse. The faces of the people who come and go on the streets can be seen with serious expressions that cannot be concealed.
What is even more unpleasant is that more and more so-called political groups that are idle and painful have begun to march on the streets without scruples. They waved all kinds of flags in their hands, shouted all kinds of slogans with loudspeakers in their mouths, and their shrill voices often shouted for a whole day, making people panic and extremely irritable.
Naturally, the local residents and the foreign immigrants who have moved here have the same feelings, they have settled here, and who can stand the chaos everywhere when there is nothing to do? Can't you live a good life? Do you have to toss endlessly?
Most of the Chinese and Japanese, who make up the majority of the population, feel this way. They are also the main body of street vendors throughout the city. Whenever a crowd began to gather in the streets, the sound of complaints began to spread.
The other group of people feels the opposite. When the noisy slogans sounded in the streets, their blood seemed to be ignited. I couldn't help but walk out of the house. Stand by the window or at the door. With a happy smile on his face, he eagerly looked at the team walking by.
Occasionally, they would wave their fists and shout twice to cheer them on.
There are a few exceptions, however, who are a very small number of so-called sober-minded people in the entire kingdom of Hawaii.
Most of them come from foreign countries, belong to political elites who can't get along in their home countries, or members of secret organizations who have other ideas and come to Hawaii to make trouble.
There is no doubt that the Sun cannon ran from China. is one of the outstanding representatives.
Yes, the "Father of Nations" in the history of this world, or the leader of the "distant revolutionary", who was once the forerunner of the revolution with the Führer in the second plane, is now in exile again. (Why do you say it again)
Just a few months ago, when the great debate was taking place in China, Sun Dacang, who had been traveling in Nanyang and around the world, quietly returned to Xiangjiang, and under the cover of the former Pao Ze brothers such as Chen Shaobai and Lu Haodong, he actively participated in the discussion of the political system under the pseudonym "Zhongshan Qiao".
Of course. As a pioneer of revolutionaries, Sun Dacang will not engage in any constitutional monarchy like Zhang Peilun and Liang Qichao. Rather, it is based on the revolutionary ideas of the bourgeoisie in the United States and France, and has made many criticisms and criticisms of the so-called universal welfare system and the ownership system currently implemented in China.
In his view, the universal welfare system is a bad system that may raise Chinese people into lazy people. He analyzed in detail the so-called "inferiority" of the Chinese from various angles, and concluded that "the Chinese need to be managed" and should not be too spoiled, let alone too laissez-faire. Since the state provides so many job opportunities, they should be encouraged or even forced to work more in order to earn a salary to support their families.
For the ownership of the whole people, Sun Cannon is even more disapproving. He veiled his agreement with the conservative literati that the division of the scholars, peasants, and businessmen that had been formed in China since ancient times was quite in line with the culture of the country. The hasty use of policies and oppressive means to deprive many landlords and gentry of their property, but a large number of them were taken under the control of the government, which is seriously detrimental to the stable and healthy development of the country's grassroots level.
All so-called state-owned assets and enterprises should be entrusted to businessmen's capital, which is more flexible in its minds and more diversified in its means of operation. In addition, the state should withdraw from market control and adopt a free market for the whole people, actively engage in friendly cooperation with the Western powers, and not be so nervous.
The problems of the colonies can be resolved through negotiations, and it is not worth waging war for them. Western culture is generally advanced and good, and the proportion of Chinese culture should be further reduced, and strict scientific standards should be used to remove the card, and everything that does not meet the standards should be discarded like garbage.
Since the success of literacy eradication with Latin pinyin shows that the Chinese people's ability to accept Western characters is better than that of square characters, and it is completely possible to implement comprehensive pinyinization, gradually reduce or even eliminate Chinese characters, and actively move closer to the mainstream Western world.
In just a few months, hundreds of articles of all kinds flocked to various newspapers and magazines, and the total number of publications was among the highest, and they became the vanguard of the reformers.
How many of these texts were written by him, I am afraid, even he may not be able to figure out it himself.
After rigorous examination, some young new members of the League and the "Chinese Kuomintang" concluded that many of the texts published by Yang Hao, the head of the state, were not created by him at all, but that a whole huge team was behind him as gunmen, and he came forward to publish them.
As the party leader and head of the party, Sun Dacang naturally could follow the example and express the opinions representing the entire party organization in a unified voice, thus creating a powerful propaganda image.
All in all, many of the articles published in the name of Sun Dacang are quite sharp, some of which directly point to the true face of the grand head of state's pseudo-republic and true dictatorship, and denounce the many "inequality" problems that exist in the current parliaments and governments at all levels -- that is, too few ruling seats are left for the so-called democratic parties, and officials of non-two ruling parties can only take care of some marginal things.
They want power, they want great power, they want to compete with the two major governments for leadership, and they even do not hesitate to bring in foreign forces for this purpose.
In the 21st century, the various foundations that are extremely rampant in this world, and at the beginning of the 20th century, the B plane has quietly entered China in droves, and has many agents with great influence.
Sun Dacang was one of them, and in secret negotiations with the representatives of various parties, he did not hesitate to allow for such things as the opening of all ports. Pay part of the price to ensure the trade balance. Contain the country's military expansion in the form of a treaty. recognition of the colonial status quo of various countries, etc. In short, in their view, as long as they can actively "integrate into the mainstream world", it is permissible to pay some "insignificant" price.
As for how much damage may be caused by this, it is estimated that no one in Sun Dacang and the entire Guo Party can calculate clearly, or they don't care at all. Because according to their ideal China, all industrial production and trade, finance. It must all be in the hands of the private capital and gang forces represented by them.
The army, which is currently treated like a soldier, has become an accomplice to protect their own interests and property, and to oppress and plunder others.
This gang has a very bad problem, they always want to rob their own people, but they never think of using their powerful military power to compete for the great powers.
That is to say, both the constitutionalists and the opposition parties are typical representatives of internal cruelty and external cruelty. The rats carry guns in the nest, have the courage to fight inwardly and are cowardly in external fighting, they are the ones who say it.
Unfortunately, they encountered the "lure the snake out of the hole" tactic of the Great Führer. After a few months of getting rid of its activity, suddenly a storm of rectification swept across the country. Immediately, the leaders of the Guo Party, composed of more than 100,000 literati, compradors, traitorous elites, constitutionalists and party members, were served in a pot.
The simple literati and the like were sent to western and southern Xinjiang to engage in indoctrination. The comprador elites and separatists were mercilessly arrested and sentenced, and dragged to the mines for labor reform.
Of course, Sun Cannon must not be included here. From the anti-Qing Dynasty more than ten years ago to the current anti-Yang, he has always been able to quietly go to foreign countries to avoid the limelight at the critical moment when things are exposed or things go wrong. The so-called Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, and even the means of "not seeing and hearing and avoiding it" by the masters of national arts, is nothing more than that.
Just when the constitutionalists shouted the slogan of calling for the resignation of the head of state, Sun Dacang resolutely left Xiangjiang and ran to Hawaii. And judging from the precision of timing, it is simply that.
Because China won the First Sino-Japanese War and split Japan early, the Japanese archipelago can no longer be used as a hiding place for Chinese dissidents, let alone Xiangjiang. Hawaii, a place close to China and under the control of the United States, became the center of their activity.
Sun Cannon even has a small villa here, which is used for him to play Lori cultivation or something. Although it has always been exclusive to him, nominally, it is party property.
There is no doubt that Sun Cannon's sensitivity to politics-movement is at the SSS level. Not long after he arrived in Hawaii, he noticed an abnormal smell that permeated the place, a familiar smell that excited him and couldn't suppress it.
Soon after, he heard the loud shouts from the street, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and even affected his rational thinking for a while.
For a professional revolutionary, there is nothing more exciting than a revolution that fits his heart.
The Kingdom of Hawaii, an overseas strategic location where the U.S. government is about to unilaterally change the status quo and prepare to be completely incorporated into the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal government, a group of several different organizations are quietly preparing for revolution!
Yes, the revolution!
It includes factions that aim to restore the kingdom's form of government, led by the veteran rebel leader Will Will. Led by Cox, he gathered a large group of indigenous and foreign aid to prepare for the armed seizure of power in Hawaii, and then seek a balanced compromise with China and the United States. Of course, not fools can see that they are more likely to throw themselves into the arms of China.
There are also the so-called republicans, led by a group of Chinese immigrant leaders, who have united various forces, including the Japanese and some indigenous people, to prepare to take out the Yankees who occupy the absolute majority in the form of political struggle, free the Republic of Hawaii from the control of the United States, and turn it into a neutral free port between China and the United States, a completely independent and autonomous country.
In addition, there are many organizations that fish in troubled waters, and some of them plan to completely overthrow the Hawaiian government and turn it directly into a rebellion against China's overseas colonization.
Coupled with the current American missionaries, sailors, lawyers, retired military officers, and businessmen, the government is now under the leadership of President Shannon. Under the leadership of Doerr, he actively seeks to completely join the American Federation, and there are at least four major factions stirring up trouble in it.
Sun Dacang hesitated for a moment and decided to help the Republican faction.
In his opinion, the other three factions were not very good. Although he doesn't hate Americans very much, the U.S. government's refusal to change the Chinese Exclusion Act makes him feel more awkward as a Chinese. Although this bill is actually not used by a political celebrity like him at all, every time he fools overseas Chinese, he at least has to help others solve this headache, and makes many promises that he can't fulfill.
So it's better to be a republic, after all, the backbone of that part of the organizational force are businessmen and financiers who have a lot of assets in Hawaii, and they can control more than seventy percent of the economic power of the whole of Hawaii. The concept of a government composed of such people is very consistent with Sun Dacang, which can be regarded as "his own people", right?
So, in the recent past, when he heard that the revolutionary comrades in China had been arrested and persecuted one after another, Sun Dacang sighed for a while, wrote a tearful article and published it in an American newspaper, and then threw himself into the Hawaiian revolutionary movement with great interest.
On the day when the Chinese aircraft carrier squadron quietly arrived on Wake Island, Sun Dacang and a group of leaders of the republican movement gathered in the Chinese clubhouse, and after making an impassioned speech, they watched with a smile as a group of excited delegates took to the streets waving small flags. Thousands of professional marchers hired by them quickly gathered behind them and rushed down the streets towards the presidential palace.
At this time, Shannon. President Touré had just finished breakfast when he heard a shout from the window, and he immediately slammed his coffee cup on the desk in annoyance, and yelled at the window sill with his hands: "Damn bastards, can't you live honestly?" No matter how much you oppose it, it will not change the fact that this place will eventually be overshadowed by the glory of America! God forgive me for swearing. ”
He drew a cross on his chest, immediately forgot about his previous foul mouth with peace of mind, and then snorted coldly: "It's just wishful thinking!" As long as there are American warships here at Pearl Harbor one day, it is impossible to change the status quo. Stupid guys, do you think you can win just by shouting slogans? Naive! ”
Later, Mr. President turned on the radio and prepared to answer the English radio from across the ocean. He wasn't worried about anything going wrong, and the Hawaii Police Force was very experienced in dealing with this kind of political activity. The police on duty didn't even bother to bring batons, anyway, those people took the money to go through the motions.
Everything seemed to be progressing as he thought.
The procession arrived outside the presidential palace, unfurled a banner and made a noise, and soon there were stalls selling herbal tea, drinks and fruits.
But under the cover of a noisy and peaceful atmosphere, suddenly a bullet flew from a distance, and the most energetic leader standing on the fruit box burst his head with a bang! (To be continued.) )
