Chapter 273: Bloody Night
(Thank you for the tip!) )
The night of 7/4/97, the day of the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom, was also a night of bloodshed and killing.
In the presidential palace of the Republic of Hawaii, President Sandford? Doerr, Commander of the Army, Pitt, Secretary of State Lauren? A. Thurston and U.S. Minister to the Republic of Hawaii, John A. Stevens was gathered around a table, enjoying the food on the table, their faces full of smiles, and the staggered chips were full of laughter.
"Gentlemen, I mention yì, a toast to the great United States of America!" President of the Republic of Hawaii Sandford? Dole said.
"Cheers!" The others also raised their glasses and drank the crimson liquid from them. Hawaii does not produce red wine, but it is a high-end red wine imported from Bordeaux, France. Hawaii controls 50 percent of the world's sugar trade and 70 percent of the canning pineapple industry, and they, the American capitalists, make huge profits in Hawaii. The lives of Hawaiian natives, as well as the Chinese, are very difficult.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next year, at most next year, President McKinley will sign a decree, and Hawaii will become the 50th state of the United States, and with the protection of the United States, our security can be guaranteed!" Sandford? Dole said. Although they overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom, they also need to be vigilant about the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom's supporters, and at the same time, they have to fight against other countries that want to get their hands on Hawaii, which makes them enjoy themselves at the same time, but also a little scared. As long as Hawaii is incorporated into the United States, then. Their safety is guaranteed. No country dares to attack the great United States.
"So, in the next year, should we call you Governor Dole?" Pete laughed.
"Haha, I should call you General Pete then!" Sandford? Dole said with a laugh. According to the agreement they reached with the American side, after Hawaii was annexed to the United States, Sandford? Dole would become the first governor of Hawaii, and Pitt would become Rear Admiral of the U.S. Navy. Thurston will also become the state of Hawaii's first officer, these positions. They were very satisfied.
"Everyone, there is still half a year to go, and we have to ensure that this period of peace and stability is stable!" U.S. Minister to Hawaii John? Stevens reminded.
"Yes, Your Excellency. Now those Native Hawaiians are numerous, but they are not disarmed, and there is no way to compete with us. As for the Japanese dwarfs, they were defeated by the Chinese two years ago and had no navy, although they had more than 30,000 people in Hawaii. But they simply did not dare to oppose the great United States of America. As long as Hawaii is successfully incorporated into the United States, I will expel all these Japanese dwarfs from Hawaii! "Sandford? Dole said. Japanese ambitions for Hawaii. It is also obvious that since 40 years, there have been crazy immigrants to Hawaii, and now there are more than 30,000 Japanese in Hawaii, who are mainly engaged in sugar cane plantations and sugar industry, and compete with the American capitalists in Hawaii in all aspects, which makes these American capitalists very dissatisfied.
"Your Excellency, the expulsion of the Japanese needs to be put aside for the time being. We also need the Japanese to deal with the rising power in the Far East, and it is not appropriate to quarrel with Japan for the time being. "U.S. Minister to Hawaii John? Stevens said. As an American envoy abroad, he is naturally very clear about the current situation. The rise of China in the Far East has become inevitable, and it will certainly compete with the United States for interests in the Pacific, which is why the United States has agreed to annex Hawaii to the United States. At the same time, it is also the reason why the United States actively supports the confrontation between Japan and China.
"Okay. Your Excellency, if the interests of the United States are above all else, I can forgive those Japanese dwarfs for the time being. "Sandford? Dole said.
"That's right, the Chinese. There is no change in the Chinese on the island, right? "John? Stevens asked.
"No, those Chinese are very honest, they are industrious, they can endure long hours, they are obedient like lambs, and it is difficult to find an obedient labor force like them. What a wonderful thing it would be if those Japanese dwarfs were so obedient! "Sandford? Dole said.
"Okay, but we can't be careless, we must ensure a smooth transition during this time!" U.S. Minister to Hawaii John? Once again, Stevens reminded him that he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know why.
Outside the Presidential Palace, on the roof of a large house facing the Presidential Palace, several black figures were lying on the roof, holding China's latest Type 97 sniper rifles in their hands, aiming at the gate of the Presidential Palace. These people are none other than the soldiers of the special forces "Sharp Blade" from China. This time, in order to cooperate with Hawaii's actions, a total of a squadron of "Sharp Blades" quietly boarded Hawaii, and it was a squad of "Sharp Blades" who were guarding outside the presidential palace. The others went to the Palazzo Illani to rescue Queen Liliukarani.
Outside Honolulu, on the Chen family's sugarcane plantation, soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the Chinese Marine Corps are ready to attack as soon as the signal is given.
Marshal Charles of the Kingdom of Hawaii? Wilson was envious of the equipment of the Chinese marines, such as rifles, pistols, bayonets, grenades, heavy machine guns, and mortars. If they had such equipment, they would not have been seized from power.
"Mr. Huang, can our Hawaiian Kingdom buy a batch of weapons from China?" Charles? B. Wilson asked. This time, he also selected more than 200 Hawaiians from among those loyal to the Hawaiian royal family. It's just that they don't have weapons, and they only have some farm tools in their hands.
"Of course there is no problem! When the coup is successful, we can provide the Kingdom of Hawaii with a batch of weapons at the best price, and, if you need it, a batch of military instructors! Huang Zhiming said with a smile. He is also very anxious now, and he keeps holding the watch in his hand. The scheduled time for the coup d'état was 9 p.m., and there were still ten minutes to go.
"That couldn't be better!" Charles? B. Wilson said excitedly. After seeing the equipment of the Chinese Marines and the demeanor of the soldiers, he had no doubt that they would win tonight.
The Chen family on Bell Street was also very nervous, they knew that the people sent by China would launch an operation tonight, although they had great confidence in the people sent by China, but they still had some worries when the matter came. If it succeeds and the Kingdom of Hawaii becomes a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, then the good days of these Chinese in the Kingdom of Hawaii will come, and their Chen family will also flourish.
Outside the Ilani Palace, the soldiers of the three squads of the "Sharp Blade" unit, under the leadership of squadron leader Liu Jianming, were ambushing outside the palace.
"The first team pays attention to the main entrance, and the second team climbs over the wall to enter, and must rescue Queen Liliukarani as quickly as possible and ensure her safety. Three squads provide us with cover! Liu Jianming ordered.
"Yes, Squadron Leader!" The squad leaders of all three squads replied.
"Alright, let's get moving!" Liu Jianming gave the order.
Suddenly, the three squads immediately took action. With the help of trees and buildings outside the palace, the first team was vigilant in the direction of the palace gate, and the second team directly climbed over the wall into the palace and walked to the palace where Queen Liliukarani lived according to the map obtained in advance, while the third team was responsible for cover.
There were also hundreds of people sent by the Republic of Hawaii to guard the Ilanni Palace. But since the Hawaiian rebellion was quelled in '95, no one dared to attack the Illani Palace, which made them relent. In addition, Hawaii is about to be incorporated into the United States, which makes them even more relieved.
The "Blade" soldiers of the second squad, after entering the Illani Palace, successfully evaded the guards with the help of terrain and construction, and quickly approached the palace where Queen Liliukarani lived.
In less than ten minutes, they approached the palace where the queen lived. Subsequently, the leader of the second squad entered the palace.
"You, who are you?" Queen Liliukarani was a little frightened when she reached the leader of the second squad whose face was covered with colorful oil paint.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Huang sent us to save you! I'll get you out of here now. The leader of the second squad said.
"Okay!" When Queen Liliukarani heard that it was someone sent by Huang Zhiming, she couldn't help but let down her vigilance.
"Who, who's there!" Just as they were walking out of the palace, a guard suddenly appeared around the corner, and when they reached the leader of the second squad and Queen Liliukalani, they immediately shouted.
"Bang!" The gun went off, and the guard was killed. But this woke up the other guards.
"Bang bang bang!" The soldiers of the other two squads of "Sharp Blade" outside also launched an attack at the first time, and the guards guarding the gate of the Illani Palace were immediately killed and wounded.
"Change the battle plan! Enter all of Illani's Palace and protect the Queen's safety while killing the guards as much as possible! Liu Jianming had to change the battle plan.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the "Blade" broke into the palace of Illani and quickly rushed towards the palace where the queen lived, and the second team also sent the queen into the palace again, and fought with the guards who arrived outside the palace.
The 1st Marine Brigade Battalion outside Honolulu heard the gunfire and immediately launched an attack on Honolulu.
