Thurston walked out of the palace.

Outside the courtyard, a bunch of spears and cannons were already pointing at him.

Although the equipment of the Lance Club and the Hawaiian police is messy and backward, the number of people is numerous, and the "black pressure" is overwhelming.

Not only are there a large number of people, but the complexion is also dark, which brings a sense of oppression in a visual sense.

"The queen has been taken captive by the Japanese! We didn't do it! ”

Thurston cleared his throat and shouted out into the courtyard.

"Thurston! Don't think I don't know what you've been planning all day! You can hide those things from the queen and that fool Kasaba who talks big all the time! But you can't fool me! ”

The captain crossed his waist and yelled at Thurston in a fit of rage.

"I'll just tell you why someone came to pour me wine last night!"

"If it weren't for you, why would you be a civilian merchant with a bunch of militia at the palace, and arrive before us! Why are so many members of the Spear Club reluctant to come when we gather our staff?"

The police chief next to him found a blind spot in the problem.

Thurston was momentarily speechless.

His silence made the captain of the guard and the chief of police more convinced of their guesses:

Thurston is in rebellion!

You can't run away from this, even if they have nothing to do with the Japanese, these people are also traitors!

The captain of the guard and the chief of police began to deliberate intensively.

They had a little disagreement.

The captain of the guard was concerned about the queen and felt that since the queen was not in the palace, he should go to the Japanese to save the queen and princess and prevent them from suffering;

The chief of police thought that this group of people entrenched in the palace was not a good thing, since the siege was all around and the number of people also occupied an absolute advantage, it was better to take the palace in one go, clean up the gang of thieves, and then go to the Japanese to settle accounts.

The two argued and eventually worked out a compromise plan;

The police chief first led the police to surround the people here, and the captain of the guard led the soldiers of the Spear Club to attack Kameda Masao and rescue the queen.

"I give you a chance, put down your weapons and surrender, we are not to blame for this coup d'état!" After the captain of the guard walked away with the people, the chief of police touched his stomach and shouted in the direction of the palace.

His voice echoed over the lush lawn.

No one answered.

Because Thurston was also retreating into the palace and discussing countermeasures with the others.

Thurston's original plan was to capture the palace, then hold the queen hostage, and then turn around and force the gang outside to comply.

As long as the queen is in his hands and plays politics, these wrecks in the Hawaiian Kingdom together are no match for him.

But now Kameda Masao took the lead and snatched the queen away, but he fell into the pit with someone.

What kind of change is this politics? It's not exquisite, it's too unsophisticated.

In the hall of the kingdom on the first floor, Thurston sat in the place where the queen usually sits, his brow furrowed.

"I said earlier, if we call Chen Jianqiu, our chances of winning will be much greater." Durr sipped his pipe and squinted at Thurston.

He sat in his usual place, but was unhappy that Thurston had taken the queen's seat.

You're Thurston something, but you're a commoner, and you're the president of the Hawaiian People's League, thanks to your friendship with U.S. Ambassador Stevenson.

Before the coup d'état was explained, he took care of himself as the head?

"Dür, believe me, without Chen Jianqiu, we can still win! The rebel members of the Hawaiian Lancers are already on their way, and they will help us. Thurston said patiently, and said to Dur firmly.

"Hell you!" Durr couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his pipe on the table, "I know better than you about the nobles of the Spear Society!" They're watching a play! Whoever wins, they support whom. ”

He stared at Thurston deadly; "If we fail, believe me, they'll gladly raise their hands at the trial and sentence us to death!"

Everyone but the two of them in the chamber looked at each other.

Why did these two people quarrel?

Thurston couldn't help it, he slapped the case: "I said okay, then it must be okay, you just sit here and watch how I lead people to break through!" ”

With that, he took the gun from the hand of a militiaman beside him and walked out quickly.

Although Thurston was previously a lawyer, he spent some time in Utah.

However, because at that time, there were often no lawyers to solve problems in the western people, and they would choose to solve the problem in a more direct way, so in order not to lose his job, Thurston's marksmanship was also okay.

He led a group of militiamen to the shattered floor-to-ceiling windows of the palace.

"Find the right spot for each one!" Thurston leaned against the window and commanded, raising his Winchester repeating rifle and aiming it at the pot-bellied sheriff chief.

I'm here for a coup, not for fun.

The rifle in his hand is not a burning stick, and these white militiamen around him are also ruthless characters.

Thurston thought of something he had heard in the Chinese Hawaiian community for no reason;

If you leave him Chen Butcher, you have to eat hairy pigs?

He didn't believe in this evil and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The police chief, who was fanning his hat, suddenly noticed that his hat was missing a brim.

He looked left and right in a daze, but was pushed to the ground by a subordinate next to him.

Shots crackled and bullets whizzed.

Only then did the police chief, who was lying on the ground, react.

The other side began to attack them.

If it weren't for the mistake on the other side and the quick response of his subordinates, I'm afraid I would have to explain here!

"Fight back! Fight back! The police chief, dressed in a swarthy fat body, rubbed on the ground and struggled and yelled.

Inside and outside the palace began to shoot at each other.

The bullets left craters on the white façade of the palace, and the remaining window panes that had not been broken before were shattered.

Although the number of police officers in Hawaii is large, the overall level of training is relatively low, and the location is clear; Comparatively, the coup d'état team is much more combative.

Many of these white militiamen came by boat from western America and were trained in guns from an early age.

Their marksmanship is much better than that of the indigenous policemen.

But on the whole, the hit rate on both sides of the battle was very worrying, and most of the unlucky ones who were wounded and killed were stray bullets.

The discipline on both sides is also very poor, and there is basically no coordination and tactics to speak of.

The Honolulu Police Department's police force was demoralized after more than 40 people were killed and wounded.

They began to automatically retreat out of battle.

And the white militia on Thurston's side rushed out of the palace from time to time because of the occasional fight, so the casualties were actually similar to those of the police force, slightly less.

But when the gang saw hope, the more they fought, the more excited they became.

"Eh, don't run! Come back and fight! For the Queen! Huh"

The chubby police chief couldn't stop him.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain.

This one carried the other, and the police force of more than 300 people, which originally seemed to be huge, quickly ran away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the police chief got up from the ground and prepared to run.

Who knew that a ricochet hit his ass,

The police chief felt as if his fat buttocks muscles had been bitten by some bug.

Then he threw himself on the ground again.

"Rush! Break through! Thurston was as excited as a monkey after winning the battle, desperately brandishing the gun in his hand.

He rushed out of the palace with his coup troops and went to kill the Japanese.

However, he did not go to save the queen, but intended to let the queen die.
