"Your Majesty, great joy!" On the morning of July 6, Yang Hua, Xiong Wu, Cai Yun, Zhang Cheng, Wu Tingfang and others came together to say hello to Wang Yuze. Their faces were filled with excited smiles.

"Where does joy come from? No, did our plan in Hawaii succeed? Wang Yuze immediately asked. Those stationed in Hawaii will be in action on these two days. Now, it should be a success.

"Your Majesty! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received a telegram from Queen Liliukarani of the Kingdom of Hawaii, hoping to become a vassal state of our Chinese Empire! Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang said with a smile. The telegram from Hawaii was sent at 9 a.m. local time on the 5th in Hawaii, and because of the time difference, it was already early morning on the 6th when Beijing received it. Therefore, the leaders of the emperor will come to meet Wang Yuze early in the morning.

"Haha! It's great that the Kingdom of Hawaii has been successfully restored. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately issued a proclamation approving the application of Queen Liliukarani of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and in addition, passing on my will, officially canonizing Queen Liliukarani as the King of the Kingdom of Hawaii! Wang Yuze said excitedly. The capture of Hawaii means that China and the United States will be able to take the lead in the competition for the Pacific. Once Hawaii is built into a strong maritime base by China, not only will the United States be threatened by the Chinese navy, but it will also become very difficult to get involved in the Pacific Ocean again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Tingfang replied immediately. China has always had this mentality of being a superior state of the Celestial Empire, both civil and Chinese, even after the Manchus were knocked open by the Western powers. None of this mentality has changed. And now, if a subject country enters the fan, doesn't it mean that the Chinese empire is getting stronger and stronger? Among the new imperial departments, there was no longer a Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was responsible for foreign affairs. Therefore, there are vassal countries in the fan, which is also a happy thing for Wu Tingfang!

"How's the situation in Hawaii now?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Your Majesty, our army has completely taken control of Oahu. The president of the Republic of Hawaii has been arrested by us. Now our troops are preparing to attack the other islands, and in less than three days, we will be able to take Hawaii! Xiong Wu replied.

"What about the Pacific Fleet? Where has it been? Wang Yuze asked. The fleet is the key to holding Hawaii. As long as the Pacific Fleet can deter the U.S. Navy, then the U.S. can only watch China take Hawaii, a strategic location.

"Your Majesty, the Pacific Fleet has traveled a long way, and the speed is a little slower. On the 7th of Hawaii time, you will be able to reach Oahu! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said.

"Very well, order the Pacific Fleet to be careful against the retaliation of the Americans. The Americans have suffered such a big loss, obviously they will not give up! Wang Yuze said. Although the military strength of the United States is not strong. There were only four new battleships, but the economic and industrial strength was strong. As a result, the United States has gradually revealed its ambition to expand outward. Hawaii was undoubtedly the first and most important step in their expansion. Seeing that this is about to succeed, but China has picked the ripe peaches, and everyone knows that the United States will definitely not give up.

"Your Majesty, the U.S. Navy is too weak, with only four new battleships, and only one in the Pacific Ocean, and the other three are deployed on the Atlantic coast, relying on the strength of the Pacific Fleet. It is completely possible to defeat the US Navy. As for the U.S. Army, it is nothing more than a National Guard with only about 100,000 troops, and it is simply vulnerable. As long as the Pacific Fleet can defeat the US Navy, the United States will not dare to make a move against Hawaii! Zhang Cheng said. The Navy cannot be built in a day, and the construction of a new type of battleship will take at least more than a year to two years, even if it is in three shifts. It is estimated that it will take more than a year. With the industrial strength of the United States, it may take several years to build a fleet that can rival the Royal Chinese Navy. By this time, China had already consolidated its rule over Hawaii and was building it. If the United States wants to snatch it back from China, it will not be so easy.

"Don't be careless! Because of other pressures, we were unable to send reinforcements to the Pacific Fleet for a long time, and had to rely on their own strength. From now on, immediately transport construction machinery and construction materials to Hawaii, and build a shipyard in Pearl Harbor, which does not require the ability to build battleships, but can cultivate wounded battleships at a minimum! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng commanded.

"Very well, then, release the details to the outside world, and then prepare for the wrath of the Americans!" Wang Yuze said. Although the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean, it cannot accommodate two powerful countries, and there will inevitably be a conflict between China and the United States because of the interests of the Pacific. And now is the perfect opportunity for China. In the United States today, the Atlantic coast is the main place, and the Pacific coast is not taken seriously. And go, because the Panama Canal has not yet been completed, the main force of the US Navy in the Atlantic Ocean has to go around South America if it wants to support operations in the Pacific direction, which is a distance of more than 20,000 kilometers! With today's technology, it's a risk. Even if the U.S. Navy dares to take this risk, with the current strength of the U.S. Navy, it will not be able to compete with the Chinese Navy at all. Even the weakest Pacific Fleet of the Chinese Navy!

At half past ten o'clock in the morning, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang announced to the envoys and reporters of various countries in China that at the invitation of Queen Liliukarani of the Kingdom of Hawaii, a mercenary force of China helped Queen Liliukarani to restore the country, and now, the Queen of Hawaii has put forward a request to become a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, and the Emperor of the Chinese Empire has agreed to Queen Liliukalani's application to canonize her as the Queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

When Wu Tingfang announced the news, it immediately caused a burst of exclamations. Although Hawaii controls more than 50 percent of the world's sugar trade, in the eyes of the great powers, it is not a big deal, and they do not care at all. But now that China has stepped in in Hawaii and directly helped Queen Liliukarani to restore it, it has undoubtedly caused a stir. Because everyone knows that the United States has regarded Hawaii as a forbidden state, the U.S. Congress has begun discussions on whether to accept Hawaii as the 50th state of the United States. And now, Hawaii has become a vassal state of China, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the United States!

"Protest! The U.S. government protests against this, saying that China is seriously interfering in the internal affairs of the Republic of Hawaii, and this kind of sending troops to overthrow the regime of a country is a barbaric act and is not legal! The United States will never agree to such a thing! Sherlock, the U.S. minister to China, immediately jumped to his feet and shouted hoarsely.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency Minister Sherlock, but I am acting at the invitation of Queen Liliukalani. Today, the Kingdom of Hawaii has become a subject of our country. The Chinese Empire will assume the responsibility of protecting the security and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and any military action against the Kingdom of Hawaii will be regarded as a provocation against the Chinese Empire. We will go to war against the country! Wu Tingfang said sternly.

"Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, your country will definitely regret what you did today!" Sherlock, the U.S. minister to China, left immediately after letting go of a harsh word. The United States certainly didn't know about this yet, and he had to report it to China immediately.

The expressions on the faces of the other ministers were also different. There is no doubt that China's current behavior has made him feel China's ambition to expand outward, which is very threatening to Britain, which has huge overseas interests. Therefore, he believes that it is time to build a country and increase the pressure on China. Taro Kawaguchi, the Japanese minister to China, was overjoyed, and it was a little difficult for Japan to fight China alone, and if the United States also joined in, then Japan's life would be much better. In other countries, it is not their business. The war between China and the United States has nothing to do with them, and they are happy to play it.

White House, Washington, USA. The 25th President of the United States, William? McKinley was woken up from his bed by his secretary. It's late at night, and President McKinley, who has recently suffered from insomnia, finally went to bed early for a night, but was disturbed, which made him very angry.

However, when he arrived at the office, he found Vice President Garrett? Hobart, Secretary of State John? Sherman, Treasury Secretary Lehmann? J. Gage, Secretary of War Russell? A. Alger and Deputy Admiralty Theodore Roosevelt had arrived, which made him realize that Ying must be in trouble, and he didn't pursue the disturbance of sleep anymore.

"Well, gentlemen, what the hell is going on? So you're all here so late? "President William? McKinley asked, glancing at the clock on the wall, it was already half past night.

"Your Excellency, we have just received a call from Mr. Sherlock, Ambassador to China. On the morning of the 6th, China announced that the Kingdom of Hawaii had become a vassal state of China, and China would protect the safety of the Kingdom of Hawaii! "Secretary of State, John? Sherman said. In the destruction of the country, there is no foreign minister, and the secretary of state has always been personally responsible for foreign affairs.

"The Kingdom of Hawaii? How is the Kingdom of Hawaii, and now Hawaii is not Sandford? Is the Hawaiian Republic ruled by that guy from Dole? "William? McKinley said with some surprise.
