With the sound of the whistle, when Wang Youling took the cruise ship to Cuba, what he didn't know was that the turmoil caused by the "Hawaii Incident" in Huashengdun was far beyond his imagination.
"WAR!"
On the front page of the "Huashengdun Post", the press was not afraid of big things and printed this headline on the newspaper.
Huashengdun in August is bathed in the bright summer sunshine. Pedestrians on the street often wear only shirts. In the garden outside the long floor-to-ceiling windows of the Oval Office, roses are blooming brilliantly. Although the windows are open,
The fragrance of flowers and plants drifted on the wind into the private reception room of the most powerful ruler in the world today. The four people in the room were concentrating on discussing the small island that happened in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
General Secretary Chester Allen Arthur was sitting where all previous Presidents had been sitting, with his back to the south wall. What were the political achievements of General Arthur? It was he who signed the "Politicalization Act" and the "Politicalization Act"
Literary Crown Reform Law", the former made him controversial, and the latter made him highly praised.
However, that was in another world. In this world, he had no chance to sign the H-Edition Act.
The "Los Angeles Incident" of that year may have intensified the anti-Ming sentiments of the Americans, but they did not dare to blatantly discriminate against the Ming people as they did in the past. It must be said that Americans are all cheap, and they have to ride on their faces and slap them in the face.
Only then did I know why the flowers were so red.
General Arthur gathered a pile of documents on his desk and handed them to Frederick Theodore Frelinghuysen. The Secretary of State did not look at the documents, but turned his attention to William Eaton.
Chandler, the beautiful, powerful and oppressive Secretary of the Navy, was sitting there with a frown on his face.
"Well, gentlemen,"
General Arthur slowly broke the silence and said,
"Now everyone knows that the operation launched by our people in Hawaii failed. Not only did it fail, but it was completely turned upside down. Now Hawaii has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty."
Attorney General McVeigh interjected,
William Eaton Chandler took a deep breath and then said.
The Americans are familiar with this scheme. They have done this in Texas and California. Originally, in Huashengdun's plan, there was a "Hawaii Republic" plan, but now it is
What they were most disappointed about was...this so-called "Hawaiian Republic" was actually created by the Ming Empire.
How could the Ming Empire come up with this script? Shouldn’t this script be produced by Americans?
Yes, that's right, it was the Americans who took over the "Hawaii Republic", but they accidentally failed to keep the script, and the script was directly snatched away by the strong Ming Dynasty.
"Mr. Zongtong, this means that we need to do what the Ming Empire did in the last "Hawaii Crisis". We need to send our fleet to the local area, maybe even the entire Pacific Fleet, and this means that we need to spend a lot of money.
Budget, Mr. Zongtong, if we want the Ming Dynasty to see our determination, we need to do this."
"The current reaction from the public opinion circle to the Ming Dynasty's occupation of Hawaii is extremely fierce. If we allow them to occupy Hawaii without any response, then the accusations from the public opinion circle will be inevitable. At that time, it is very likely that the people will criticize the General
Totally dissatisfied."
"In this case, we need to consider two possibilities, that is, after we dispatch the fleet and confront the Ming Empire in Hawaii, the first is that it only stays in the confrontation stage, and the second is that a military conflict occurs, or even leads to a conflict between the two countries.
of war.”
"Isaac, it doesn't matter at all."
Arthur looked at the Secretary of the Navy and asked.
"Mr. General, handling the "Hawaii Incident" is very simple!"
McVeigh shook his head and said,
"War is definitely not our first option. If we fight for Hawaii and the Ming Empire, it is also not acceptable to the public and public opinion. Your Excellency, what we need is some action, I mean tough action.
We need to explain our attitude to the public opinion circles and the people. Of course, we also need to make the Ming Empire understand that we will never accept Hawaii being ruled by them. In other words, they must let them feel our attitude."
Attorney General Isaac Wayne McVeigh directly refuted the Secretary of State's "rebellion" view. The reason why he attended this meeting was that he needed to legally explain the behavior of American immigrants.
William Eaton Chandler, who had remained silent, finally broke his silence.
"Yes, Mr. General,"
"Whether it is to accept that Hawaii is controlled by the Ming Empire, or to refuse to accept it."
"According to the news from Hawaii, the next day, Macadamia passed the motion to establish a republic with 17 votes in favor and 2 votes against, and then the local election was held on the temporary election. Mr. Zongtong, you
You know, there were American immigrants there who were arrested for rebellion, and many of them were killed. Now, the Ming people control it..."
Facing the Secretary of the Navy's inquiry, General Arthur couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at William Eaton Chandler, stared at him, and then spoke after a moment.
"So, does that mean we need to send out a fleet?"
"No, no, Mr. Minister,"
"Frederick, one thing I need to remind you is that they are just suspected of rebellion. They are forced by the royal power of Hawaii and will not resist!"
"Well William, what do you think?"
Secretary of State Frilinghuysen glanced at the Secretary of the Navy and nodded.
Then William Eaton Chandler, Secretary of the Navy, cleared his throat and said:
"Mr. Zongtong, I would like to take the liberty of asking how He Zongguo plans to deal with the crisis in Hawaii?"
asked William Eaton Chandler.
The Minister of Justice's suggestion made Mr. Arthur nodded in agreement, and then he thought for a while and then said.
"If Hawaii is controlled by the Ming Empire, it will be extremely detrimental to the United States."
"William, what do you think?"
Secretary of State Frilinghuysen prompted.
"No matter how we explain legally that their behavior is not rebellion, it cannot change the fact that Hawaii is now controlled by the Ming Empire. As for the so-called local government that was created after the king was killed, it is just a well-known
puppet regime, this is just the first step in their annexation of Hawaii."
After thinking for a while, William Eaton Chandler continued.
"And we also need to win the support of the UK. After all, the UK is our ally. At this time, they need to take action. With the support of the UK, this matter will go more smoothly."
