The 3rd and 4rd Battalions of the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps each sent a company of troops in a dinghy to the port of Honolulu. After taking control of the port, the transport ships behind will dock. Large forces have already been artillery before they will be transported to the shore.

Originally, there were hundreds of police officers from the Kingdom of Hawaii in the harbor who were in charge of defense. However, under the shelling of the Imperial Navy, these policemen had already fled. Although they did not pay many casualties, the heavy shelling already scared them out.

After landing in the port of Honolulu, the two companies of the Imperial Marine Corps encountered almost no resistance and took control of the port. After that, six transport ships moored at sea docked. Two battalions of marines began to go ashore. Weapons such as mortars and infantry guns were also removed from the ship. The fighting began to spread towards Honolulu lost to the loss.

"The 3rd Battalion controls the city of Honolulu, and the 4th Battalion attacks the Iolani Palace! Be sure to catch King Kamehameha III. Major General Liu Xu ordered. As the commander of this expeditionary fleet, two battalions of marines also followed his orders.

"Yes, General!" The battalion commanders of the two marines replied one after another.

Then thousands of Imperial Marines went into action. The 3rd Battalion, a platoon, began attacking important areas of downtown Honolulu and took control of the city, blocking the road to the outside world. The 4th Battalion marched directly to the palace of Iolani. The Iolani Palace was built on a hill by the sea and was perched high. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. There were also hundreds of guards in the palace. However, this is such a defense for the Imperial Marines. It's simply vulnerable.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunfire rang out in downtown Honolulu, and police officers from the Kingdom of Hawaii who tried to resist were shot and killed. The Kingdom of Hawaii does not have a regular army, only a few hundred police officers and a few hundred palace guards, which is all the military strength of the Kingdom of Hawaii. The weapons they were equipped with were nothing more than rifles and old artillery, and nothing else. There are almost no heavy weapons left. Faced with an attack by Imperial Marines, almost armed to the teeth, the Hawaiians had no resistance at all.

"Boom! Rumble! "A mortar from an Imperial Marine Corps that opened fire on Hawaiian police hiding behind a barricade. Two shells went down, and several Hawaiian police officers behind the barricades were blown into the sky. The rest of those who were lucky enough not to die also hurriedly ran away. It's okay for these Hawaiian police to bully the common people. Face the regular army of the Reich. They belong entirely to the object of the ravage.

Under the fierce attack of the Imperial Marines, the Hawaiian police suffered heavy casualties, and the strategic points were constantly occupied by the Imperial Marines. The road from Honolulu to the outside world was also blocked, and those Native Hawaiians and foreign traders who tried to flee Honolulu were stopped. Although this caused dissatisfaction and protests from those foreign businessmen, they could only choose to compromise in the face of the guns of the Imperial Marines. Obediently retreated into the city.

The offensive of the Imperial Marines was not directed against those innocent civilians. Of course. If someone shoots at the Imperial Army, that's a different story. Anyone who dares to attack the Imperial Marines, whether they are Hawaiians or foreigners, will be regarded as enemies of the Empire.

Embassies in Hawaii are also a key area. However, the Imperial Marines did not attack these embassies, but only surrounded them. In particular, the British Legation in Hawaii and the U.S. Legation in Hawaii are of paramount importance. Units of a company of the 3rd Battalion of the Imperial Marine Corps surrounded the U.S. Legation in Hawaii. The front and back doors of the legation were blocked, and mortars and heavy machine guns were set up and aimed inside the legation. The guards of the legation could only look at the Chinese* army outside in horror through the gate, and they were deeply afraid that the Chinese* army would attack them. If the Imperial Marines really wanted to attack, they would never be able to resist it. If nothing else, it only takes a few shells to inflict heavy damage on them.

This behavior of the Imperial Marines made the American Minister Kent and the British Minister Bao Ling very dissatisfied. They protested to the Imperial Marines outside the Legation, but were stopped by the Imperial Marines. The Imperial Marines claimed that this was all about protecting the legation from a mob storming it during the fighting. Neither the Minister of Kent nor the Minister of Bao Ling had no choice but to protest against the toughness of the Imperial Marines.

In fact, the Imperial Marines did this to prevent some of their targets from escaping. Most of the advisors to the Kingdom of Hawaii, the American Reverend Richards, and the American and British merchants who had robbed the Chinese of their property were not able to escape in time and hid in the American and British legations. According to the information provided by the Chinese legation, the marines, of course, would not give them a chance to escape. Wait until the Imperial Marines take control of Honolulu before they come to settle accounts with these guys. For those who bully the Chinese, the empire will never let go. When the time comes, it will definitely be blood for blood and tooth for tooth.

The legation was surrounded, which made the people hiding inside panic. The vicious Imperial Marines, as well as the mortars and heavy machine guns outside the legation, put them under great pressure. Some people have begun to regret it, if they knew it earlier, they shouldn't have seen the Chinese as easy to bully, so they bullied them, and now, the trouble is finally coming. Of course, there are also obsessed people. For example, the Rev. Richards, Minister of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He was convinced that the Imperial Marines would not dare to do anything to him, and he was now hiding in the legation, very safe. He firmly believed that the Imperial Marines would not dare to attack the Legation, otherwise it would be regarded as war against the United States of America.

The 3rd Battalion of Imperial Marines took only two hours to take control of Honolulu. During the battle, the Imperial Marines paid dozens of casualties. Almost all of these officers and men who were killed or wounded by the enemy's sneak attack in Honolulu. Of course, those who resist will not end well. During the battle, hundreds of Hawaiian policemen were killed, and the rest became prisoners of the Imperial Marines. In addition, many Hawaiian civilians who resisted were also killed. There were also foreigners who were hostile to the Empire and were also shot as enemies.

Similarly, the 4th Battalion of the Imperial Marines had a smooth entry into the Iolani Palace. Despite the call of King Kamehameha III, hundreds of palace guards chose to resist stubbornly. However, the 4th Battalion of Imperial Marines carried out a heavy shelling of the Iolani Palace with four infantry guns and twenty mortars, and in the shelling, most of the palace was destroyed, and the palace guards guarding it suffered heavy losses.

For the royal palace guards of the Kingdom of Hawaii, they had never experienced such fierce battles, and many people were frightened. No matter how much King Kamehameha III gave orders, they could no longer take up arms and fight the Imperial Marines.

During the fierce fighting, King Kamehameha III was torn to pieces by a mortar shell. After the king was killed, the morale of the palace guards collapsed even more. In this case, the 4th Battalion of Imperial Marines stormed the palace of Iolani at a small cost. Half of the hundreds of palace guards were killed and shot, and the rest also chose to surrender.

The Imperial Chinese Expeditionary Fleet took control of Honolulu in just two hours, and also killed the king of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In a sense, the Kingdom of Hawaii is already extinct.

"General, the king of the Kingdom of Hawaii was killed by us, so there won't be any problem, right?" Minister Yang Wenhua said with some concern. Although the Kingdom of Hawaii is only a small country, Kamehameha III is a head of state after all. Now that Kamehameha III has been blown up, this will definitely cause an uproar around the world.

"Humph! Dead clean. The empire has decided to annex Hawaii, and if this king survives, it will be an obstacle for us, and it is better to die. What's more, there are no eyes for knives and guns on the battlefield, and bullets and shells don't have eyes. Since he chose to resist stubbornly, he had to be prepared to die in battle. Major General Liu Xu said disdainfully, the death of King Kameihameha III was like a dead chicken for him.

"General, if we annex Hawaii, it won't cause other countries to intervene by force, right?" Minister Yang Wenhua asked. After all, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet only has three warships and more than a thousand marines, and such a military force is indeed not very strong.

"The British did not dare to intervene, the main forces of the Americans were in Mexico, and the navy on the Pacific coast was almost blank, and they would not come. Soon, the remaining units of the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps will also arrive here. You can rest assured. Major General Liu Xu said.

Minister Yang Wenhua nodded, if the 5th Marine Brigade arrived, it would be able to hold Hawaii absolutely.

"Your Excellency, the American and British businessmen who bullied the Chinese have all gone to the Legation. Including the American priest who insulted the empire and the emperor. What's next? Minister Yang Wenhua asked.

"What else can I do? Naturally, I went to ask them to hand over the people. If they dare to shield those people, it will be a provocation to the Empire! Major General Liu Xu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. (To be continued......)
