Chapter 277: The Queen's Calculation

(Thanks to the book friends for the tip of the command gun!) )

In Hawaii, after the restoration of Queen Liliukalani, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade and 1st Battalion of the Chinese Marine Corps quickly stabilized the situation and eliminated the restless factor. At the same time, troops were sent to attack several other islands, and soon the unification of the Hawaiian kingdom was completed.

After the initial panic, Hawaii entered a state of calm. The telegraph office was reopened and the seaport was reopened. Many Americans chose to flee by boat as soon as possible. However, hundreds of Americans who had been involved in the last coup d'état had already been captured by the guards set up by Queen Liliukalani.

Although, the U.S. Minister to Hawaii, John? Stevens constantly protested to Queen Liliukarani and threatened Queen Liliukarani with the United States, but Queen Liliukarani was unmoved. With China behind her, she is very relieved. Although she will be forced to lease Oahu and Kauai to China, Queen Liliukalani is very happy to be able to exchange her rule in peace. Plus Marshal Charles of the Kingdom of Hawaii? B. Wilson continued to preach the toughness of the squadron to Queen Liliukalani, which made Queen Liliukarani even more relieved. Originally, she didn't know how to bear the coming anger of the United States, but now, she doesn't care about it at all. Now the Kingdom of Hawaii is a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, and it is the responsibility of the Chinese Empire to protect the safety of the Kingdom of Hawaii!

On the morning of July 7, Hawaii time, today is the day when the Chinese Pacific Fleet arrives in Honolulu. In order to pay tribute to the suzerain, Queen Liliukalani brought all the officials of the Hawaiian Kingdom to the port to meet the Chinese fleet. Ministers from various countries in Hawaii also came to the port, and although no one invited them, everyone wondered what kind of fleet China would send to Hawaii, and speculated about what the United States would do next.

U.S. Minister to Hawaii John? Stevens gritted his teeth in the crowd and stared at the smiling Queen Liliukalani and the people around her. Three nights ago, if he hadn't reported his identity in time, I'm afraid he would have been locked up in prison a long time ago! And, according to what he had heard, Queen Liliukalani had a desire to take Sandford? Dole, Lauren? Thurston and the others involved in the original were hanged. When I think of this. He couldn't help but curse these savage Native Hawaiians.

Although the United States has lodged a solemn protest with China, China has remained unmoved. Which makes John? Stevens is a little worried, and he doesn't know if the United States will back down in the face of Chinese pressure. Personally, he very much hopes that the United States will defeat China and bring Hawaii back into its arms. As U.S. minister to Hawaii, he certainly knew the importance of the place. If Hawaii were to be occupied by China, the United States would lose its path to expansion into the Pacific.

Ten o'clock in the morning. A large cloud of black smoke appeared at the heavenly level. The crowd on the dock also stirred.

"It's coming, it's coming! Our fleet is coming! "Chen Fang of the Chen family, old man Chen. In the melting mood. As outcasts of the Celestial Empire, they never thought that one day they would be able to reach the fleet of the Celestial Empire. Of the tens of thousands of people who come to greet the Chinese navy in the harbor, half are Chinese living in Hawaii.

Soon, the Chinese fleet appeared in front of everyone's eyes. However, everyone was shocked by the two huge warships. At the head were the two "Plateau-class" battleships, the "Plateau" and the "Qinghai". Next to these two battleships were four "Chengdu-class" heavy cruisers, 'Chengdu', 'Chongqing', 'Kangding' and 'Lhasa', which were slightly smaller. on the periphery. It is the four "Leshan-class" light cruisers "Panzhihua", "Guangyuan", "Bazhong" and "Zigong". The outermost destroyers are Beihai No. 1 to Beihai No. 16. There is no doubt that this is an extremely large fleet.

"Oh my God! Why are those two battleships so big? It's exactly like a hill! Chen Kangning, the second son of the Chen family, exclaimed.

"Is this the Chinese battleship? China actually has such a battleship, and it is really strong to come to China! The eldest son, Chen Kangan, who took the opportunity, also muttered.

"God has eyes! Our Chinese empire has finally risen. Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Old man Chen Fang immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of China. Other Chinese, affected by the situation, also shouted long live.

Queen Liliukalani and the natives of the Hawaiian Kingdom had mixed feelings. The strength of the Chinese Navy. That's what they wanted, and in this way, they would be able to protect the safety of the Hawaiian Kingdom. However, this also means that the Kingdom of Hawaii can only exist as a vassal state of China. If there were other ideas, China's huge military power could crush the Hawaiian kingdom to pieces.

"The Kingdom of Hawaii is a small country, and it is not easy to successfully restore it. From now on, let's honestly be a vassal state of the Chinese Empire! At least, these Chinese will not be so ruthless as the Americans! Queen Liliukarani thought to herself.

"Two battleships, four capital ships of the second rank, four light cruisers, six destroyers, and 20 transport supply ships. The Chinese have spared no effort to protect Hawaii, and I don't know if our US Navy can defeat them! "U.S. Minister to Hawaii John? Stevens said worriedly. There is no doubt about the strength of the Chinese Navy. Although the US Navy is not weak, it has not experienced actual combat after all, and it is very difficult to say whether it can defeat the Chinese Navy. Even so, he hopes the United States will do its best to keep Hawaii.

There were also many people in the crowd who showed hatred for this huge fleet, and these people were none other than the Japanese on the island. The Japanese are now the second only nation in the Hawaiian Kingdom after the Hawaiians. These people have a deep hatred for the Chinese, and if China had not defeated Japan two years ago, perhaps it would not be China that occupies Hawaii now, but Japan. In addition, on the night of the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom, many Japanese tried to fish in troubled waters, but were killed by the squadron, which made the Japanese in Hawaii even more hostile to the Chinese. However, the Chinese have strong military force in Hawaii, which makes these Japanese dare not move.

Soon, the battleship sailed into the harbor of Honolulu and let out two long whistles. The transport ship docked first, and the soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps disembarked first. The thousands of squadrons that came out of the transport ship made people feel the pressure even more. Even though Huang had informed Queen Liliukarani that China would be stationing troops on Oahu and Kauai, she was shocked. The squadron was already very strong, and so many troops were deployed at once, which made it even more impossible for the Hawaiian Kingdom to turn around.

After the marines disembarked, the warships of the Pacific Fleet docked at the dock, and Vice Admiral Li Dingxin, commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Royal Chinese Navy, and Rear Admiral Gao Yihai, chief of staff of the fleet, disembarked from the warship, and Huang Zhiming and others immediately greeted them.

"Commander Li, Chief of Staff Gao, Huang Zhiming reports to you!" Huang Zhiming saluted.

"Colonel Huang, your cousin, the emperor is very satisfied. The Department of Defense has officially promoted you to Commodore and you will be the commander of the Hawaii base, responsible for the construction and defense of the Navy's base in Hawaii! Li Dingxin said with a smile.

"Ahh The last general thanks Lord Longen! Huang Zhiming's face was pleasantly surprised. Being able to become a commodore and become the commander of the Hawaii base is undoubtedly a great promotion for him. The Hawaii base will become the home port of the Pacific Fleet, and his main job as the commander of the fleet is to provide various logistical support and support for the Pacific Fleet, which is much better than him being an agent.

Subsequently, Li Dingxin and others met Queen Liliu Karani again. In the evening, Queen Liliukarani held a welcome dinner at the Irani Palace, expressing her welcome to the Chinese Pacific Fleet.

The arrival of the Chinese Pacific Fleet in Hawaii and the main forces of the troops were also transmitted back to China by the envoys of various countries.

It was already two o'clock in the morning on the morning of July, and the dinner had long since ended, but Queen Liliukalani was not yet sleepy.

"The Chinese are too strong, the Kingdom of Hawaii will not be able to have the slightest disobedience against the Chinese Empire, otherwise, the Kingdom will fall into a land of no return!" Queen Liliukarani said secretly.

"In addition, since Oahu and Kauai have been leased to the Chinese, then this is Chinese territory, and I better leave." Let's go to the island of Hawaiʻi! It's a little bit worse, but it's my territory! Don't be constrained by anyone! Queen Liliukarani thought. Since she has China's protection, then she has nothing to fear, and she can be her queen with peace of mind.

However, there is one thing that has always haunted her, and that is the coup d'état launched by the Americans, and then several years of captivity, which made her very angry. And now, it seems that it is time for her to take revenge. In addition, the Americans have usurped Hawaiian property, and it is time to get it all back.

"In two years, all the rebels will be put to death, and the hateful American minister will be executed as well. After they were executed, I went to the island of Hawaii! Queen Liliukarani secretly made up her mind. She wanted to take revenge on the United States, but with the power of Hawaii, there was no way, so she had to find a way from this aspect.
