Of course, Enders also has a bit of humility, as a sandalwood merchant who can do business in Europe, the energy and background behind it are not small.

"Brother Rogge, I called you this time, in fact, there is something important to trouble you."

The main event finally came, and at this time, the coffee of Moore's grinding coffee was also brewed, and Rogge picked up the coffee and asked, "What's the matter?" As long as I can, I will definitely help you. ”

Endes smiled and waved his hand: "It's a good thing, it's a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't have found you, brother, after all, the relationship between the two of us is like brotherhood." ”

Rogge asked quietly, "Please also ask your brother to make it clear." ”

Endes didn't answer Rogge's question directly, but asked, "Brother, what do you think of the Hawaiian Kingdom?" ”

"Hawaii?"

"Yes, just talk about this place."

Rogge took a sip of coffee and said, "That's a good place, after all, that's where our business grows." ”

"That's right, we came to Hawaii to make a fortune, and the existence of a feudal kingdom like the Hawaiian Kingdom, Brother Rogge, do you think it's good for us?"

Hearing this, Rogge sat down and said, "Brother Enders, what do you mean by that?" ”

Seeing Rogge's slightly nervous expression, Endes smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Rogge, you're still too nervous, isn't my words obvious, the existence of the Hawaiian Kingdom has seriously restricted the interests of us merchants, after all, paying taxes every year is not a small amount, which is not conducive to our development in Hawaii, and I am heartbroken when I think that this money is spent by the indigenous royal family of Hawaii, not used to build the local area!" ”

Rogge took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, and said, "Do you want to subvert the government of the Hawaiian Kingdom, brother?" ”

Enders shook his head and said, "Naturally, I don't have this ability, but the existence of the Hawaiian Kingdom does seriously limit the interests of our United States, so this is the common idea of everyone, but I don't know if Brother Rogge thinks the same way." ”

Rogge, who knew what he knew, naturally supported the approach of this group of Yankees, if they didn't do this, East Africa would have no chance!

"That's natural, although the annual tax rate is not high, but the bigger the business, the more you pay, which I naturally share with my colleagues."

Hearing Rogge's words, Endes said with a smile: "Now is an opportunity for us to work together to advance the progress of the Hawaiian Kingdom, I don't know if Brother Rogge is interested." ”

"That's nature."

Endes said: "A while ago, Mr. Wilson, the president of our Chamber of Commerce, and several other powerful chambers of commerce discussed this issue together, and they all believed that the Kingdom of Hawaii, a backward and feudal country, was not suitable for existence in the world, so we planned to establish a democratic republic in Hawaii to achieve Hawaii's prosperity and strength. ”

Endes's nonsense, Rogge naturally didn't believe a word, but he naturally supported it vigorously.

Seeing that Rogge also supported everyone's decision, Enders was still very happy, after all, Rogge's strength on Kauai was not weak, and if he could say that Rogge would join this operation, everyone's chances of winning would naturally be greatly improved.

After all, this is a coup d'état, although the Kingdom of Hawaii is backward, but it is at the intersection of civilizations, and it is constantly learning and progressing, so the more people who participate in the coup, the more you can ensure that one step is in place.

Otherwise, if an accident is counter-attacked by the Kingdom of Hawaii, I am afraid that it will directly cheapen the British and French on the island, and it will be much more difficult for the United States to control Hawaii.

Subsequently, at Enders' invitation, Rogge, an East African spy, swaggered to a dinner party of American businessmen in Honolulu.

Naturally, the dinner was about how to subvert the rule of the Kingdom of Hawaii and establish a "puppet" Republic of Hawaii, in order to prevent the walls from having ears, and the participants were all Americans.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the specific time for this operation is March next year, when we will overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Kingdom of Hawaii with the support of the National Guard......"

In fact, in January 1875, the Kingdom of Hawaii signed the U.S.-Summer Reciprocal Treaty under the coercion and inducement of the United States, and the United States gave Hawaii the most favored tariff treatment. to facilitate Hawaii's export of cane sugar to the United States. Similarly, Hawaii is not allowed to grant MFN status to other countries, and Hawaii is not allowed to lease territory to other countries or to provide other countries with privileges in the use of ports and territories. This marked Hawaii as an exclusive sphere of influence for the United States, but Hawaii also reaped temporary economic benefits from exporting low-tariff sugar to the United States.

This is also an important reason why Rogge is active in Hawaii as an American, otherwise East Africa would not have wanted to annex a large amount of land on Kauai.

After learning of the U.S. government's conspiracy, Rogge immediately returned to Kauai after the dinner to discuss countermeasures with the Governor of Hawaii in East Africa, John Crane.

"There are still three months to go, and we must speed up the training of our troops, and at the same time, we must promptly notify the consulate in Jiaozhou Bay and the navy of the South Ryukyu Islands to arrive in Hawaii before March 15, of course, not too early, not too late, so as to better interfere in this coup d'état."

After listening to this, John Crane said solemnly: "The specific time is unknown, and the time of the navy's arrival will be wrong, so you have to pay close attention to the movements of the Americans, and I will pass the news back to the mainland in time." ”

"As for the army, don't worry, we've increased Kauai's armed forces to 2,000 men, and even the entire U.S. military in Hawaii can't do anything with us."

Rog nodded and said, "After the coup d'état begins, we must take control of the governor of the Kingdom of Hawaii on Kauai in time, force him to declare Kauai's independence from the Kingdom of Hawaii, regain independence, and then establish a puppet government." ”

Kauaʻi is the only island in the Hawaiian Islands that was not conquered by force by King Kamehameha, but was later automatically surrendered to the dynasty.

The Hawaiian Islands were not actually a unified country before, but later the Kamehameha the Great, or the Kingdom of Hawaii, unified the island.

Because Kauai voluntarily surrendered, the current Governor of Kauai is actually a descendant of Kauai's indigenous king, Gomuali.

This provided an opportunity for East Africa, and since Kauai could join the Kingdom of Hawaii, it could also break away from the control of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Of course, at that time, there was no so-called Kingdom of Hawaii, but a puppet government formed by the Americans, the Republic of Hawaii.

As soon as the United States took action, East Africa pushed the current Kauai Governor to secede from the Kingdom of Hawaii and restore the indigenous kingdom of Kauai.

Of course, this indigenous kingdom must also be a puppet government, but as long as there is a great righteousness, East Africa can fight with the US government, and when the time comes, as long as the Americans do not send their own troops, they will have no way to take East Africa.

After all, it is the United States that is unkind first, and don't blame East Africa for its injustice, everyone is a raccoon dog, if you want to evaluate it, it is just a wolf-hearted dog, and the final result is that everyone is condemned by the international community.

Of course, the international community mainly refers to Britain and France, and possibly Japan, after all, these countries have interests in Hawaii.
