The eyes and ears of the empire.
everywhere!
Adam had never doubted this statement.
Eighteen years ago, Adam was a street kid on the streets of New York. His parents died of illness one after another, and he became an orphan and lived on the streets. Later, an Easterner asked him.
"Do you want to go to school?"
Adam nodded, and then, he and the man left New York and came to Daming, where they received education and training in a school in Daming.
Eight years later, after graduating from school, he returned to the United States and then to Hawaii.
Since then, there has been a businessman named Adam Hanks in Honolulu. Like many American immigrants, he is also very enthusiastic about "annexation" matters. It is for this reason that he has become "annexation".
Although members of the "Annexation Club" are not members of the "Committee of Twelve", they are also core members.
But even as a core member, he learned the news on the afternoon of July 20.
But...this is enough!
Late at night on July 21, when Adam was driving a truck away from the plantation, he cast his eyes into the distance, and then said to himself.
"I hope everything goes well!"
"Adam, don't worry, there won't be any accidents. When we take action, Mr. Gibson has already taken action!"
Almost at the moment he finished speaking, there was a gunshot!
Intensive gunshots rang out.
The rapid gunshots of machine guns echoed in the air. The car that was originally moving was riddled with holes in an instant, and dense bullets poured on the car like raindrops.
The Americans in the truck fell into a pool of blood before they even had time to react.
When a truck tried to break out of the circle of fire, not far away, there was a loud bang and the truck was turned into scrap metal by the explosion on the roadside.
"There is an ambush..."
Amid the horrified shouts, the moment the truck stopped, Adam rolled out of the car and ran into the trees on the roadside. Behind him, there were explosions and machine gunfire, including the death of many people.
Screams.
The battle lasted only ten minutes.
"Stop shooting, stop shooting..."
While Zhao Chengtian waved his arms vigorously, he and his comrades stood up. However, they were not wearing military uniforms, but dressed as Ming-born workers. Although they were evacuated, the armed sailors stayed behind.
They lived in a Chinese plantation outside the city, and no one except the plantation organization knew of their existence.
Now their mission is to eliminate some Americans outside the city, thereby changing the balance of power between the two sides.
"Be careful when cleaning the battlefield, there are our people inside..."
The same scene happened on several other roads, but only Sanford's main force successfully drove into Honolulu. When Sanford Dole led armed immigrants into the palace
, when he proudly announced that the Republic was about to be established, what he didn't know was that another team of armed expatriates inside and outside the city, like the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada, was waiting.
their actions.
"Devils, you are all a bunch of devils!"
Along with the shouts of King Kalakaua and Queen, gunfire rang out and they fell into a pool of blood.
Even, at the same time, many members of the royal family, including his sister Liliuokalani, were killed, and everything was over.
This time, the Americans did not even force King Kalakaua to sign the so-called "Bayonet Constitution" under the threat of bayonets like in another world. Instead, they directly launched an uprising in the name of freedom. As for the king.
He had fought tenaciously...
Of course, when everything was over, facing the corpse in the yard, Sanford Dole said with sentimental words.
"Actually, we don't have any personal grudges at all... This is for the people!"
His words made another important member of the annexation club, Lauryn Thurston, agree with him with deep understanding.
"Yes, if we don't take precautions in advance, this archipelago will inevitably become the possession of the Ming Empire. It does not need to be conquered, as long as immigrants are immigrated, it can be taken as its own. We are for the freedom of the people! It has to be like this!"
Compared to their hypocrisy, the former Prime Minister Walter Gibson said.
"Damn it, now is not the time to express your feelings. Why haven't Phils and the others come over yet? Will something happen?"
"Yes, according to the plan, they should have entered the city!"
"But there is no news about them yet."
Walter Gibson said nervously.
"The gunshots and explosions here must have alarmed the people of the Ming Dynasty. If they reacted, we would all die here."
"Oh, Walter."
Laurin said with a smile.
"You don't have to worry. We won't have any problems. General Worden's fleet will arrive in Honolulu soon. When they come, everything will be over! The Ming people... do they dare to confront the fleet?
"
What’s the most perfect part of this plan?
The American fleet that left Honolulu would return to Honolulu one day after leaving. Their departure was just to induce the Ming people to leave here.
This was an era that relied on wired telegraphs, and Hawaii has not yet been connected to telegraph lines, so it is still isolated to a certain extent.
Everyone who made the plan was convinced of one thing - when the Ming Empire learned of the news, it was already a month later. By the time their fleet arrived in Hawaii, the Republic had already been recognized by the United States, regardless of whether the Ming Empire
If they want, they all have to deal with the Republic.
Of course, the Republic will guarantee their power, at least at the beginning, but when everything stabilizes, Hawaii will close the door to Ming immigrants. By then, even Ming will regret it.
God bless, this place is too far from the mainland!
However, when making the plan, they did not know that among the secrets of Ming Dynasty, there was a thing called a "radio station". Unfortunately, there was a radio station in the embassy of Ming Dynasty.
What's more important is that from the beginning, their plan was grasped by the empire's intelligence agents, and then reported to the Central Capital through the radio station. In this regard, the empire's plan is very simple, which is to be the yellow one behind.
bird!
Just as the Americans who had annexed the club were cheering for the success of their plan, suddenly, gunfire rang out from outside the palace.
"People from the Ming Dynasty, people from the Ming Dynasty are here..."
