Chapter 17 War with America?

The entire battle lasted less than two hours until at 1:00 a.m., when all the U.S. troops on the island of Hawaii chose to surrender.

Outside the Governor General of Hawaii, Governor Dore, the highest political official in Hawaii, and General Grant, the supreme military commander, joined together. In fact, all the American captives were escorted to the open space outside the Governor General's Office by the coalition forces.

There were many machine guns around, and the fire was on the verge of war. The black guns were aimed at all the American prisoners. The American soldiers all sat down on the ground listlessly, and they would talk a few words when they were bored. They didn't have much fear in their eyes, and at most they were a little sad.

The strength gap is too large, and the US military in Hawaii is no match for at all. Anyway, it surrenders. Even if it has been imprisoned for a while, the US soldiers believe that they will eventually be let go, which means they will survive.

However, in the middle of the captive crowd, two people obviously did not feel so open-minded, one was Dore, the governor of Hawaii, and the other was General Grant, the chief military officer of Hawaii.

Dore smiled bitterly and said, "Grant, don't you always say that Hawaii is a damn place? You can't even fight, but now when you really fight, your soldiers are so vulnerable."

Grant knew that he was in a disadvantage and did not make any excuses. Instead, he asked: "How should we go back and submit the work next?"

"Do you still want to go back?" Doer smiled miserably: "Have you ever heard of the Jingzhou encirclement and annihilation battle, the Lhasa War, and the Xiaguan Landing Battle?"

Gran nodded: "I heard a little, without exception, the Chinese army won the victory!"

Doer asked, "Do you know what the defeated ones will end?"

Grant's heart skipped a beat. Although he had always looked down on these lowly Chinese, he had studied these classic battles that left a strong color in the history of the Eastern War.

During the encirclement and annihilation of Jingzhou, more than 10,000 Russian Cossack cavalry and 30,000 infantry were all killed in battle. The heads cut down at that time were as high as the city wall. It is no exaggeration to describe them as the word "blood flows into a river".

During the Battle of Lhasa, thousands of British troops fell under the machine guns of the Chinese Army. Except for a few people who escaped, most of them would sleep forever on the snowy plateau.

During the Xiaguan landing battle, more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers were about to collapse. In just one day, the 50,000 troops were wiped out. Most of the Japanese soldiers were killed, and only a very small number survived. The surviving Japanese soldiers were sent to the Northeast and became coolies who lost their personal freedom.

When Grant thought of this, he couldn't help but regret it. Judging from Tang Jian's previous records of dealing with prisoners, he had absolutely no good ending, either he was executed on the spot, or he was transported to the Northeast like a livestock and became a part of the construction of the Great Northeast of China.

No matter which ending, Grant doesn't want to see it. Now he even feels that he can just die in battle on the battlefield, just like dying cowardly or living in humiliation soon.

Just when Door and Grant were worried, suddenly, several Chinese army soldiers took the two into the Governor's Mansion. They didn't have to think about it. The time to decide whether they were destined to be dead or alive, just look at Tang Jian's words inside.

At this time, Tang Jian and Queen Liliukalani were sitting together, and the seat of the two was the position of the governor who had been sitting in Hawaii for several years.

The two entered the Governor's Mansion in a mess. Tang Jian was not even prepared to let them sit down. Instead, he stood in the middle under the gaze of many Hawaiian Chinese, Polynesian tribe leaders and Chinese officers.

Although Dole was not injured, his neat suit was stained with a lot of smoke. After tossing for the middle of the night, his face was full of fatigue, and Grant's situation was even worse. Because his left arm was injured and no medical staff had performed surgery on him after the captive, he simply wrapped the wound with a white cloth strap, with blood stains.

Tang Jian and Queen Liliukalani stared at the two of them for a long time without saying anything. Dor and Grant were in the stalemate. I don’t know what the medicine was selling in Tang Jian’s gourd.

During the stalemate of the atmosphere, no other sounds were heard except for the sound of everyone's breathing. Although it was already night and the Hawaiian breeze was churning, Dole and Grant's foreheads were still covered with sweat.

In the end, Grant couldn't stand this atmosphere and was suffering when he waited for the verdict. Whether it was shot or something else, just make it simple.

Grant raised his head and asked, "President Tang Jian, I am a defeated general. I don't know what your country wants to deal with us? But please don't forget that Hawaii is the territory of the United States, and you are interfering in our country's internal affairs!"

Tang Jian smiled slightly and said, "This is not what I said. I just passed by Hawaii. In the armed movement in Hawaii, I was just a bystander. Because I was afraid of threatening my personal safety, my guards fired from the perspective of self-defense. I had no intention of getting involved in the political struggle in Hawaii. Besides, Hawaii was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Hawai, and Queen Liliu Kalani was the nominal ruler of the Kingdom of Hawai, so Queen Liliu Kalani had the final say in everything! I am afraid this is not considered as China's interference in the American Civil War, right?"

Hearing Tang Jian's words, Doer's mouth twitched. It was obvious that Tang Jian and Queen Liliukarani had been conspiring for a long time and assisted her in arming the power, but now he was saying such a righteous word, as if the battle just now was nothing to do with him.

Having seen shameless people, but never seen such shameless people, Doer said indignantly, not to mention that Tang Jian is still a president, but what he presents to Doer now is a rogue-like shameless face.

This is different from slapping someone in the face on the street, pointing to the passerby next to him and saying, "It was him who beat me. I saw it with my own eyes. Really, I just passed by?

Shameless Tang Jian! Doer cursed in his heart.

Tang Jian nodded to Queen Liliukalani, and Queen Liliukalani returned Tang Jian with a smile. Now all the power in Hawaii is decided by the queen who is over 70 years old. Although this feeling of holding power has disappeared for more than ten years, when she regained this supreme power, she did not feel any awkward. On the contrary, she was familiar and very familiar.

She had been tolerating for more than ten years. Although she still lived in the Iorani Palace every day, her identity had changed from the ruler of a country to a prisoner.

Yes, a prisoner who lost more than ten years of freedom and suffered the pain of national hatred and family hatred every day, she will never forget the day eighteen years ago. After the Americans planned and formulated a bayonet constitution to limit her power, the despicable Americans led another 1,500 Honolulu rifle team to occupy the government building and disbanded the Royal Guard.

And she, the real ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii, has plummeted from a queen that everyone admires to a prisoner!

Today, everything she lost eighteen years ago finally came back to her hands, although she has gradually grown old in the years she has waited for her restoration and has become an old man in her twilight years.

When Tang Jian handed over all the power to her, Queen Liliukalani seemed to have returned to twenty-one years ago when she had just ascended the throne. How glorious she was at that time!

Queen Liliukarani looked at the two Americans in front of her quietly. At this time, they still justified that Hawaii was the territory of the United States, and the anger in her heart immediately burst out.

"Hawaii has been the territory of the Kingdom of Hawaii since ancient times. Where is your territory of the United States? It is obviously a thug conspiring to usurp power, but it is still making a fuss about it here. Who is interfering in Hawaii's internal affairs?" Queen Liliukalani asked aggressively.

Grant was speechless for a moment. The fact is as Queen Liliukalani said, Hawaii was conspired to usurpate by the United States. If anyone has the true sovereignty of Hawaii, of course, it is the old woman in front of him who is nearly 70 years old - Queen Liliukalani, the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Doer still saw it more clearly. Doer took a step forward and said, "Since we have been captured, it is useless to argue about these sovereignty issues now. I think President Tang Jian and Her Majesty the Queen summoned us here, not just to debate the sovereignty issue of Hawaii?"

Tang Jian smiled and said nothing, Queen Li Liukara snorted coldly: "How did you treat me back then, and how should you treat you now!"

"Governor Dore, I want you to announce the dissolution of the US army in Hawaii and the Hawaii government in the name of the Governor of Hawaii! Recognizing the establishment of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and at the same time, I will also issue a statement to the US government in your name, saying that Hawaii will be **, the Hawaii Islands will be ruled by the Kingdom of Hawaii, and the Kingdom of Hawaii after its establishment will be affiliated with the Republic of China and become a vassal state of the Republic of China!" Queen Liliukalani said word by word.

"No!" Grant flatly refused.

"Do you still have the capital to negotiate? If you agree to my request, I promise to send you and your soldiers back to the country safely without any harm," Queen Liliukalani said coldly, while Tang Jian was standing aside without saying a word.

Grant really had no capital to protest. At this time, the US troops on the island had been controlled, and the reinforcements seemed a little out of reach.

Doer understood that the biggest winner of this armed operation was Tang Jian who watched all this coldly. All Tang Jian wanted was a written explanation from Hawaii. Even if Doer disagreed, it was inevitable that Hawaii would fall into the hands of China. Tang Jian could only find another excuse at most.

Moreover, the lives of more than 2,000 American soldiers are firmly in Tang Jian's hands.

Doer said helplessly: "Okay, I promise you, the noble Queen of Hawaii."

Amid Grant's shocked expression, Tang Jian's smile on his face became stronger, but Doer added: "President Tang Jian, what I want to say is, aren't you afraid that China and the United States will go to war when you do this?"

Tang Jianfeng said with a conversation: "Oh, is that? Then I'm looking forward to it!"
