Chapter 59 Air Raid on San Francisco
"Nine were killed in battle, nine were injured?" Tang Jian punched the bed fiercely. The eighteen lone wolf, which was comparable to the combat power of two companies, was lost in vain to the hands of the dead soldiers and assassins.
Wang Jianchuan's eyes were red and he lowered his head without saying a word. These lone wolf soldiers were specially selected from the lone wolf special forces to protect Tang Jian's personal safety. These dozen soldiers were all elite forces among lone wolfs. Many people followed Wang Jianchuan from the beginning of the lone wolf formation. A few of them were his good brothers. Unexpectedly, they did not die on the battlefield, but at the hands of several insignificant assassins. Wang Jianchuan's mood at this time was self-evident.
Ye Zugui was very frightened. Although he did not arrange this welcome event on his own initiative, he was the highest commander of China in Hawaii, and the commander-in-chief of the security who was responsible for the welcome event at this time. Now he not only let the assassins get in, but also almost made a big mistake. If it weren't for the lonely wolf soldiers who were trying to rescue him, Tang Jian would have been killed now.
Ye Zugui knew that he could not escape the blame, so he stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said sadly: "President, you are in danger. This is Ye Zugui's dereliction of duty. Ye Zugui requested the president to punish him." After saying that, he put his military cap under his armpit and was extremely regretful.
Tang Jian waved his hand. Now that the war with the United States is imminent, changing generals at the last minute may lead to unstable morale. Ye Zugui has been by his side for more than ten years. He has made great achievements and is a rare general in the Chinese Navy. If he was removed from his post just for an assassination incident, it would not only be Tang Jian's loss, but also the Pacific Fleet and China's loss.
Tang Jian sneered: "Ye Zugui, I have almost guessed the mastermind behind this assassination. With his means, even if you don't hold these welcome events, he can still assassinate me, so you don't have to blame yourself. Since he gave us this gift, our China also pays attention to the exchange of courtesy. If we don't give him a gift, we will seem too stingy. Get up, how is the investigation of this assassination?"
Ye Zugui was so grateful that he stood up and said, "Short after the president was in a coma, I immediately ordered the entire Hawaiian archipelago to be subjected to martial law. Among the few dead assassins, three were local Polynesian natives in Hawaii, four were 'Chinese' dressed up by Japanese ronin, and seven were all dead. In addition, when checking the entire Hawaiian archipelago, we found the meeting point of these assassins five kilometers east of Honolulu, where there were traces left by the production**."
"It's great, but it's not easy for these assassins to get the ingredients for making ** by themselves. This welcome event was proposed by officials from the Kingdom of Hawaii. They are very suspicious. You immediately control all the officials related to this assassination and order the entire army to strictly investigate US spies on the island of Hawaii." Tang Jian nodded and said
Ye Zugui acted quickly, and with the help of the lone wolf, in the afternoon, all the people involved in the assassination were escorted to the former Governor's Office in Hawaii. After hearing the news, Queen Liliukalani hurried to visit Tang Jian.
There were 23 Polynesians, twelve Japanese living in Hawaii, and seven officials from the Kingdom of Hawaii involved in the assassination. Tang Jian was not ruthless at all to these American spies. Under severe punishment, all of them confessed truthfully, except for those few people, the Japanese were a little tougher. However, under Wang Jianchuan's inhuman means, these Japanese who believed in the spirit of Bushido finally knelt down and begged for mercy.
It turned out that the officials of the seven Hawaiian kingdoms were originally pro-American factions. After the restoration of Hawaii, Queen Liliukalani was in urgent need of political officials because she was a regime. With a gentle attitude, she recruited and served these officials who had served American politics.
However, what was unexpected was that these officials were in a sympathy with the United States and had always maintained contact. After receiving huge bribes from the United States, these officials immediately recruited some Polynesians who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Queen of Hawaii, as well as a group of Japanese living in Hawaii who had a hatred for destroying China, and carefully organized this assassination operation.
These officials thought that after assassinating Tang Jian, China would inevitably vent its anger on the Queen of Hawaii, so the Kingdom of Hawaii is likely to no longer exist under the rage of China. They made money and after the US military regained Hawaii, they might enter to serve as senior officials in the regime they might enter.
This assassination operation was planned for a long time and was originally seamless. In the plan, even if the gun was used to kill Tang Jian, it could also be used to blow Tang Jian into several pieces by using a human bomb.
However, often ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Fortunately, Tang Jian took the lone wolf army with him this time. If it weren't for the loyal and brave lone wolf soldiers, Tang Jian would have died long ago.
Tang Jian sneered in his heart. Who else could think of this strict assassination except Roosevelt? He used the two types of Chinese troops, the Polynesian natives and the Chinese disguised by the Japanese, who were most likely to relax their vigilance to assassinate Tang Jian, and used double insurance, short gun plus **
Tang Jian turned to Queen Liliukalani on the side and said, "Her Majesty, what do you think should be dealt with?"
At this time, Queen Liliukalani was frightened and uneasy. Although the planner behind the scenes was the United States, the real executor was the officials and people of the Kingdom of Hawaii she trusted. What she was most worried about now was that she was afraid that Tang Jian would put all the responsibility for this assassination on her.
If Tang Jian determines that she is also one of the participants, then Hawaii, which had just been restored, is likely to be destroyed again. At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese Navy, Army and Air Forces stationed on Hawaii Island. As long as Tang Jian is willing, he just needs to move his fingers, and the Kingdom of Hawaii will no longer exist.
Queen Liliukalani dared not think that she was the master of Hawaii, but said humbly: "President Tang Jian, you have the final say."
"Really?" Tang Jian looked at the Queen Liliukalani in front of him who seemed to be over 70 years old. For this nominal ruler of Hawaii, Tang Jian wanted her to understand who is the real master of Hawaii.
"Yes, respected President Tang Jian, these people have committed treason. As the suzerain state, they naturally have the power to deal with them," Queen Liliukalani said seriously.
"Then you can expel all the Japanese who live in Hawaii. Ye Zugui, send a telegram to tell the Japanese Emperor Meiji to let Emperor Meiji remember clearly. Japan is now a vassal state of China. If the Japanese do anything else, don't blame me for slaughtering all the Japanese." Tang Jian said sternly.
"Wang Jianchuan obeyed the order and shot these US spies in the lobby on the spot," Tang Jian ordered
"It's the President" the two answered in unison
"Brush, brush..." There was a neat sound of pulling the bolt
The officials kneeling in the Kingdom of Hawaii were heartbroken, and they burst into tears and begged for mercy. However, the well-trained lone wolf soldiers had already hit the back of their heads with hatred, and they wanted to avenge their dead comrades.
"Bang..." A series of gunfire suddenly rang in the hall. Liliukalani was startled by the loud sound. A disgusting smell of blood began to spread in the entire hall. Tang Jian looked at the forty-two corpses bursting with brains on the ground and snorted coldly. Even 420 such scums were not as good as the dozen or so lonely wolves who died.
Tang Jian waved his hand and took everyone away from the presidential palace, preparing to dispatch the navy and air force to thank Roosevelt for "returning gifts"
Queen Liliukalani was stunned for a long time. It was not until her followers reminded her several times that Queen Liliukalani woke up from the shock. Looking at the corpse and the red and white plasma in front of her, she couldn't help feeling nauseated and vomited on the spot.
Seeing this, Queen Liliukarani's heart was already in turmoil. This was the first time she had seen Tang Jian's decisive killing. In fact, she had heard of this assassination incident, but she did not kindly remind Tang Jian...
"Since Roosevelt gave us this big gift, if we don't respond, it will be called a country of etiquette if we don't respond, I'll send my orders to immediately dispatch the USS China aircraft carrier, twenty aircraft aircraft, dragon power, dragon war, fearless ships and other ships to port, organize an attack fleet of fifty warships to go to San Francisco, so that the Americans know that China is not a soft persimmon, they can pinch it if they want," Tang Jian stood on the dock of Pearl Harbor and ordered.
Ye Zugui knew that he had made a mistake and wanted to redeem his sins, so he volunteered: "President, I am willing to command this combat operation."
Tang Jian glanced at Ye Zugui, nodded, and reminded: "Since Roosevelt wanted to assassinate me at this time, instead of taking the initiative to make a fight, it means that their Atlantic fleet has not entered the Pacific Ocean yet, but the United States is strong and must not be taken lightly."
"Yes, President" Ye Zugui replied
"In addition, this time, the USS China aircraft carrier is the first time to participate in actual combat. I hope the USS China can perform better," said Tang Jian.

"What? The assassination failed?" Roosevelt roared in the office.
Major General Marshall lowered his head in shame and said, "Not only that, our intelligence agencies in Hawaii have been destroyed by China."
"What do you mean is that we can't monitor every move of the Chinese Pacific Fleet in the future?" Roosevelt's face turned gloomy
"Yes...."
"What's that sound?" Another officer in Roosevelt's office raised his ears and asked questions
"It's an air raid alarm," Major General Marshall said in surprise
