Kauai, Hawaii.

"Mr. Kerkuf, your asking price is too high, we have seen your land, the yield is not good at all, and Hawaiian labor is also very short, and Kauai is not like several large islands in the southeast, so we can only give the price of four hundred pounds."

Krkuf also wanted to continue to bargain, although he also agreed with Rogge's words, but who would not want to sell it for a good price.

"Six hundred pounds, no less, below this price, I will not sell the local farm." Krkuf emphasized.

"Four hundred and fifty pounds at most, this is also the reason why you have invested a lot before, you must know that this price is enough to buy a farm of the same size in the western United States, if you go to the southeast islands, you can even expand your farm more than doubled, if you do not accept this offer, we will buy those small farms first, and the price will not exceed three hundred and eighty pounds in the future, and it will be impossible for you to sell it when you want to." Rogge also said categorically.

Krkuf thought for a moment, thinking that the price was indeed sincere enough, and when he sold the land, he could buy the same amount of land near Honolulu.

"Deal, but I also have one condition, that is, I will be given a case of wine, not Volga, but red wine."

Rogge gritted his teeth and said, "No problem, for the sake of us being old friends." ”

Finally, after three months of bargaining, East Africa still won the land, which also means that East Africa's first move in Hawaii has been completed.

As for Hawaii, East Africa has been coveting it for a long time, but the situation in Hawaii is complicated, so East Africa intends to learn from the United States and infiltrate it first.

Of course, East Africa is not trying to monopolize Hawaii, but to be able to get a piece of the local pie in the future.

Today, Britain, France, and the United States all have forces deployed in the Hawaiian Islands, and East Africa, as a latecomer, is not comparable to the United States, not to mention Britain and France.

Therefore, in order to have a foothold in Hawaii, East Africa has long set its sights on the islands that are not too dominant in the entire Hawaiian archipelago.

Kauaʻi, the fourth largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, was once a Russian colony in the northern part of the Hawaiian archipelago and was later incorporated into the Kingdom of Hawaii.

The island has a population of less than 20,000 and is concentrated in the eastern region, which is currently targeted at the Hélayele region in southern Kauai.

Elayele has a port and a small amount of arable land, but the best land and port on the island is in Lihue in the east.

Most of the coastal lands in the south and west, with the Elayele region as the core, have fallen into East African hands with the completion of East Africa's acquisition of Krkuf land.

Kauai is a volcanic island, so the central and western regions are mostly crisscrossed with mountains and cliffs, so there is basically zero development in the southwest, and East Africa has easy access to most of the southern coast at above-market prices.

Of course, in other words, East Africa has bought a large area of undeveloped rainforest, only the Elayele region has a small amount of developed arable land, and the local port is not even built, there is only a dock for small boats, but after it falls into the hands of East Africa, it will not be a problem in the future.

That's why East Africa bought his farm from Krkuf at three times the market price, and with the merger of Krkuf Farm, East Africa has taken complete control of the Elayele region.

After completing the transaction, Rogge returned to East Africa's economic office on Kauai, and said to John Crane, the governor of Hawaii in East Africa: "Mr. Governor, from today we will have full control over the entire Elayele region, and you, the governor, will finally no longer be in name." ”

That's right, East Africa has a Hawaiian governor, but according to normal logic, this Hawaiian governor must be illegal.

In fact, for the past six years, East Africa has been annexing land in the southern part of Kauai, all in the name of German merchants, and the name Governor General is only self-appointed in East Africa, considering that Kauai is now governed by the real Governor of the Kingdom of Hawaii, which is in Lihue in the east of the island.

Hawaii is still a sovereign country, in fact, the United States annexed Hawaii that is, the next year, a group of American businessmen overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii and established the so-called Republic of Hawaii.

John Crane asked, "Is that Russian bearded man finally willing to sell his land?" ”

Rogge sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Yes, before leaving, he extorted me a case of red wine, if it wasn't for the mission of the kingdom, I would have sunk him into the sea a long time ago!" ”

Hearing the slightly angry words of his colleague, John Crane only felt a chill, even if the weather was so hot now, it was like being poured a basin of cold water.

That's right, Rogge is a member of the East African intelligence service, and he has done a lot of things like murder and arson, coercion and inducement, and of course, it is precisely because of this that he has been able to complete the local land acquisition excellently.

East Africa must not buy land here in the name of East Africa, so Rogge is a businessman with both British and American citizenship.

"Next month, our people will be able to set off, and the kingdom will send a group of retired soldiers of the Wehrmacht who have rich combat experience to Elayele, and I heard that they participated in the South African War, and then I, the hypothetical governor of Hawaii, will be truly confirmed." John Crane said to Rogge.

In the final analysis, if you want to occupy an acre and a third of land in Hawaii, it still relies on military strength, and in 1843 the British government declared that Britain had sovereignty over Hawaii. In 1849, France claimed to occupy Hawaii.

However, in the end, it was the Americans who occupied Hawaii in Xuancheng, and "no country can monopolize Hawaii", which is similar to the skillful application of the Monroe Doctrine and the open-door policy, which is worthy of the traditional craftsmanship of the Americans.

So when the Americans say: I'm right...... When you're not interested, that's when you're really wary.

And Ernst also wanted a piece of the pie when the United States annexed Hawaii in 1893, so East Africa began to lay out Kauai a few years ago.

Today, there are only more than 30,000 residents on Kauai, and there are more than 6,000 East Africans, all over the southeast and northwest of Kauai, including Lihue, the political center of Kauai, and there are also a large number of East Africans.

After all, Hawaii had a large number of residents of the Far Eastern Empire and Japanese expatriates, and by virtue of the status of the two countries, East Africa could also behave well, so that it would not attract the attention of the US government.

And the reason why it is called the Economic Office, which is actually the seat of the Hawaiian Governor's Office in East Africa, is also located in Elayele, as Lihue, as the political center of Kauai, is too eye-catching to be conducive to East African operations.

"Although the preparations are relatively sufficient, it is also difficult to annex a country, but I don't know if the Americans will intervene forcefully at that time." Rogge said.

John Crane said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, after all, the United States can't blatantly annex Hawaii, if they dare to do the first year of junior high school, we can do fifteen, now the population of Kauai, we already have a big advantage, wait until the end of this year, there may be more people, plus the help of the army, we can actually occupy Kauai, but the premise is that the military can cooperate with us perfectly and don't make mistakes." ”

Rogge nodded and said: "The main thing depends on the reaction speed of the navy, the premise of controlling the entire island is that the navy can cooperate in time, I think the US government will definitely be this routine if it wants to annex the Kingdom of Hawaii, the only difference is that the United States has a much better mass base on the ground than us." ”

John Crane said disdainfully: "What kind of mass base, it's just an old trick of changing cages for birds, now there are so many Americans in Hawaii, that is, there are more people on Kauai, everyone is just playing the trick of darkness, to be honest, if it weren't for the weak national strength of Japan and the Far Eastern Empire, they could do the same." ”
