"No, you can't! This is the US embassy, it is the territory of the United States, if you dare to attack, it will be a declaration of war against the United States, and the United States will not give up! Minister Kent shouted. He could feel the slightest hint of murderous intent in the eyes of this major general, and if he really didn't hand over the people, this general would definitely attack. Not to mention the thousands of Chinese* troops who landed in Honolulu this time, the troops of this company that surrounded the legation alone were enough to kill them all.

The guards of the legations also began to stir. Obviously, they've noticed the situation here, too. In their opinion, there is a problem in the negotiations between the Minister Kent and those Chinese, and if they are not good, these Chinese will attack. Some of the timid Guards soldiers had already begun to tremble in their legs. After all, judging from the comparison of strength, they don't have an advantage at all!

Major General Liu Xu ignored the shouts of the Minister of Kent and returned to the protection of the army, and at the same time, kept watching the time, as if as soon as the time of ten minutes was up, he would really order an attack, which brought great pressure to the Minister of Kent.

"Minister Yang Wenhua, you can't do this, you quickly persuade that general." Minister Kent looked at Minister Yang Wenhua with an anxious expression.

"I'm sorry, Minister Kent. General Liu is the supreme commander here, and I have no right to interfere with his decision, so I think you should follow General Liu's wishes. Otherwise, when time passes, he will really attack. When the time comes. The situation will be out of control. Minister Yang Wenhua kindly persuaded him. After all, the toughness of the military of the Chinese Empire* is well known all over the world. If the U.S. Legation wants to continue the confrontation. In the end, they are the only ones who suffer.

"This ......," the Minister Kent hesitated. As a diplomat, he should not compromise with the Chinese if he is in accordance with his duties. Even if he dies, he will defend the dignity and interests of the United States. However, the current situation has really reached the most critical time, and if he insists on it any longer, more people will definitely die.

"Minister Kent. You're running out of time. After Minister Yang Wenhua finished saying this, he turned around and left.

"Damn it!" Minister Kent cursed and returned to the embassy. Inside the lobby of the legation. It was crowded with American businessmen and their families who had come to take refuge. Now the faces of these people are full of anxiety and panic. They also knew about the siege of the legation by the Chinese* army.

"Your Excellency, we are citizens of the United States, and you want to keep us safe. You can't hand us over to those Chinese devils! A middle-aged American businessman said, holding the hand of the Minister of Kent. His eyes were full of desire to survive.

The Minister Kent knew this man, a well-known sugar plantation merchant in Hawaii. However, his wealth was not properly sourced, and several sugar plantations were taken from the local Chinese. If you knew it now, why did you bother in the first place?

"Don't worry, sir, I'll do my best." That's all the Minister Kent can say. However, in the face of the toughness of the Chinese * army. He really didn't know what to do. The Chinese have already given an ultimatum, and these last few minutes are just that.

After returning to the office. The Minister of Kent met with the Reverend Richards.

"Your Excellency, how is the situation? When will those Chinese withdraw? Pastor Richards asked.

"Pastor, the Chinese demand that you and those merchants be handed over, otherwise, they will attack!" Minister Kent said.

"This? How so! How dare the Chinese attack the embassy? How is this possible? Aren't they afraid of a war with the United States? "Pastor Richards was a little panicked. Now, he felt a real threat. If the Chinese really attacked the legation, he would definitely die. He could only call for help from the Minister of Kent.

"Pastor, the Chinese may not be afraid of war with us at all. The United States has no deterrent effect at all for them. Minister Kent said helplessly. Such an outcome that the Minister of Kent did not want to see. However, there is nothing that can be done.

"W-what should I do?" Pastor Richards suddenly sat down on the couch and muttered to himself. At this moment, it was as if all his faith had been shattered. The whole person was like having his bones pulled out of his body, and he didn't know what to do.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, the last ten minutes given by Major General Liu Xu had arrived. However, the U.S. Legation still did not hand over the American businessmen and the Reverend Richards who were hiding inside.

"Humph! Since these Yankees don't eat and drink when they toast, don't blame us! Fire! Major General Liu Xu gave the order to attack.

Minister Yang Wenhua stood by the side of Major General Liu Xu and did not dissuade him. He knew that after Major General Liu Xu gave the order, it could not be changed. Although this will have a very bad impact on the international community, the matter has already come out anyway, and it is naturally up to a tall man, who is just a small minister.

"Boom! Rumble! "Several mortars opened fire, and the shells hit the gate of the American legation, blowing up the iron gate. The legation guards, who were hiding behind the gate and confronting the Chinese* army, suffered heavy casualties, and the rest of the people ran away.

"Oh God! The Chinese really attacked, what should we do? "The guards were all the color of the earth.

When the Minister of Kent, who was in his office, heard the sound of the shelling, his face also changed drastically, and his eyes were full of anger and helplessness. Those Chinese* troops really dared to attack, which was completely unexpected by him.

"Oh God! Those infidels, those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they really want to kill me. Your Excellency, please save me! Pastor Richards said in horror.

The American businessmen who were staying in the lobby of the legation were even more panicked, and some women and children were even more frightened and wept.

"Rush in, and if you encounter resistance, shoot and kill!" Major General Liu Xu ordered.

Two platoons of Chinese soldiers stormed the legations, shouting the slogan "Shoot or kill." The soldiers of the legation guards they met along the way all threw their weapons to the ground and surrendered to the Empire* army. They knew that if they resisted, they would surely die.

The Chinese* army stormed the U.S. Legation and took away all the American businessmen who were hiding inside, including the American Rev. Richards, an advisor to the Kingdom of Hawaii, who was dragged away like dead dogs. Minister Kent constantly protested against the Imperial* troops, but no one paid any attention to him. He claimed that the rebellious attack on the U.S. legation, the killing of the legation's guards, and the capture of U.S. businessmen by the Imperial* army were a provocation to the United States, and that the U.S. would make the Chinese Empire pay the price.

The British Minister Bao Ling soon learned of what happened to the American Legation, so when Minister Yang Wenhua went to the British Legation to ask for someone, Minister Bao Ling weighed it and handed over the British businessmen. Of course, compared with American businessmen, there were far fewer British businessmen who oppressed the Chinese. These British merchants seemed to know better that the Chinese Empire was not to be messed with, so they were more restrained. For these British merchants, the Chinese side only demanded that they return the property that had been usurped by the Chinese, and then released them after making a certain amount of compensation.

As for the American businessmen, they were not so lucky. All the property of the Chinese they had seized was forcibly recovered. In addition, as punishment, their own property in Hawaii was forcibly confiscated, which was to be used to compensate the oppressed Chinese. The American businessmen who had hurt the Chinese, especially those who had killed the Chinese, were even more miserable, and they were shot one by one to avenge the deaths of the Chinese.

The Pastor Richards, an American adviser to the Kingdom of Hawaii, was also one of them. Although he was a member of the Church, this status did not protect him. According to what he did in the Kingdom of Hawaii, the Empire* army also shot him.

After taking control of Honolulu, the Imperial Marines began to march into the rest of Oahu. Although they encountered resistance from the Hawaiians along the way, their resistance was very fragile and was quickly crushed by the onslaught of the Imperial Marines.

Two weeks later, all the officers and men of the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps arrived in the Hawaiian Islands. With the support of the Navy, the 5th Marine Brigade landed on the islands of the Hawaiian Islands, occupying the entire Hawaiian Islands. The rule of the Kingdom of Hawaii was completely overturned, and it officially became the territory of the Chinese Empire.

Subsequently, despite the opposition of Western countries, the empire declared the annexation of Hawaii and the establishment of the Hawaiian Governorate. Rear Admiral Liu Xu, commander of the expeditionary fleet, concurrently served as governor of Hawaii. Yang Wenhua, the former Imperial Minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii, was in charge of the affairs of the Hawaiian Governorate.

After the annexation of Hawaii, the empire began to build Hawaii. Shipped large quantities of war materiel to Hawaii, and at the same time recruited laborers in Hawaii to build a military port and arsenal in preparation for the next step in the United States. From the Hawaiian Islands to the United States, it is only more than 3,000 kilometers. Much more advanced than going from mainland China to the United States, where the Chinese* military intended to establish Hawaii as an advance base for the empire's march into North America. After the Empire declared war on the United States, it was to serve as a distribution center for logistical supplies.

Once the empire had built a military port and arsenal in Hawaii, it would be much easier to launch an offensive against North America in the future. Hawaii's geographical location will play a huge role in the future! (To be continued......)
