Wilcox and his men were ultimately unable to block the internal and external attacks of the Americans. With the influx of Americans from outside, the remaining twenty royalists were tremblingly forced into the corner of the hall, holding their hands in their hands.
The machete and wooden stick looked desperately at the bright bayonet in front of them.
"Traitor, I now sentence you to death in the name of the republic." The Hawaiian official who led the team pointed a revolver at Wilcox's head and shouted, beating until there were only three Americans left alive.
It was more than ten years ago. Seeing the dead bodies of their compatriots filling the hall, these people now feel particularly sad and angry.
"Who is the real traitor? History will judge for itself!" Wilcox glanced at him contemptuously. At this time, Queen Liliuokalani was also detained by the Americans, looking at these real Hawaiian patriots in pain.
By.
"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Wilcox said sadly. The Hawaiian official in front of him almost pulled the trigger at the same time. At the moment when the revolver hammer fell, a black figure wearing a raincoat suddenly appeared in front of the door.
A smile immediately appeared on Wilcox's face, and then there was a flash of fire in front of his eyes, and a hot bullet penetrated his forehead. At the same time, Liu Zhenxiong, who quietly touched the door, also pulled the trigger.
The muzzle of the submachine gun spurted out flames instantly, and dense bullets hit the backs of those Americans like a storm. What happened next was very simple. Under the sneak attack of sixty Chinese soldiers, all the Americans gathered in the hall
The entire army was wiped out in less than a minute. Queen Liliuokalani was stunned by this scene.
"Your Majesty, we were sent by Mr. Chen Fangchen to rescue you. Unfortunately, we just met a group of Americans so we arrived a little late." Liu Zhenxiong walked up to her, saluted first and then looked at Wilcox's face.
The corpse said with regret.
"Chen Fang?" The Fat Queen said in surprise. Because she was under house arrest, she still didn't know that Chen Fang was back.
"Yes, His Highness Yang Feng, King of Zhennan of our country, is very indignant at the unfair treatment you have suffered, so he specially invited Mr. Chen Fang to come to Hawaii to find a way to rescue you." Liu Zhenxiong said seriously.
At this moment, Her Majesty the Fat Queen was in a dream, but she could still distinguish the importance. When such a savior suddenly appeared, how could she be interested in caring about other things? Besides, there was really no place to stay in the Washington Palace, so she quickly escorted Liu Zhenxiong.
Go down to Chen Mansion.
At this time, the riots in Honolulu were still continuing. The situation in the city was out of control. Countless natives and Japanese took to the streets. They were not doing it for the Queen at all, but purely for looting and murder. Almost everyone
The homes of white people were patronized by these people, and the whole city was ablaze, like a hell. Even the Iolani Palace was on fire, and the gangsters even began to attack the American Legation.
All the remaining sailors on the Baltimore boarded the ship and stood guard outside the embassy door. There were only three to four hundred people on the ship. Previously, more than two hundred people had disembarked and disguised themselves as Hawaiian police to participate in the battle. Although they
Liu Buchan's actions were all under surveillance. However, because of Chen Fang's orders, he did not interfere.
Yang Feng didn't want to have something like the killing of the American minister. In that case, no matter whether the Americans were in the wrong or not, they would have enough reason to go to war against Hawaii. The killing of a diplomat would be equivalent to a declaration of war. He would not use this kind of excuse.
For Americans.
Liliuokalani, who fled to Chen Fang's home, quickly understood the current serious situation in the country.
"Your Majesty, although I know that you have abdicated. But in this critical moment, as the former leader of the Hawaiian people, you have the unshirkable responsibility to take measures as quickly as possible to save this country." Chen Fang said to her righteously.
"Chen, you are right!" Liliuokalani nodded with the same sacred look. Then, as the Queen of Hawaii, she formally made a request to the Chinese fleet in the port to help restore order. After receiving the formal invitation,
Liu Buchan immediately issued a landing order, and thousands of Chinese sailors, who were already fully armed and on standby, quickly entered Honolulu.
After a night of chaos, Honolulu finally ushered in dawn. Accompanied by the morning glow, groups of Chinese navy sailors wearing new military uniforms appeared in the city. The rifle bayonets on their shoulders flashed with cold light. On the battleships not far away,
Against the background of the black muzzle, neatly patrolling the streets of Honolulu, all the gangsters disappeared as quickly as possible after the sailors landed, leaving only a devastated city.
Stevenson and Dole were in the U.S. Embassy, looking dejectedly at Honolulu, which was completely under the control of the Chinese. There were even Chinese sailors monitoring outside the embassy in the name of protection. They understood that the United States had lost this vital
In a country that lasted for a night, at least one-third of the American immigrants were killed or injured, and more than half of the guards of the embassy and the sailors on the Baltimore were also killed or injured. More importantly, these casualties became the dominant force of the United States in Hawaii.
Ironclad evidence of chaos.
Queen Liliuokalani made a formal statement through the People's Broadcasting Station at dawn. Since the government of the Republic of Hawaii headed by Dole could no longer control the situation, she had to temporarily take over the country as queen until peace was restored by a referendum by the people of all ethnic groups in Hawaii.
Decide what kind of government system to use.
Because the people of Hawaii suffered heavy losses in the riot and were unable to maintain order, they specially invited the visiting Chinese navy to help restore peace. In addition, they protested against the role of the US military in the riot. At least more than a hundred people
Legation guards and U.S. Navy soldiers can testify that the riots, which killed thousands of people, were caused by U.S. military involvement in suppressing dissent in Hawaii.
"First of all, on behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the civilians who died in the Honolulu riot. This is a tragedy, an unfortunate tragedy. We have no intention to comment on the right and wrong issues in this tragedy. After all, this is Hawaii.
As for internal affairs, I will not comment on the rumors about the involvement of the US military in the riot until there are definite investigation results. But what I want to explain here is that it can be seen from Her Majesty the Queen's efforts to turn the tide. It is obvious that she is better than Dole.
The president is more suitable to manage this country." Chinese Foreign Minister Prince Yang Feng, who was interviewed by People's Radio in Fuzhou, commented on the misfortune that happened in Hawaii.
His words actually amounted to a formal statement of attitude. China, or Yang Feng, publicly supported the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
The Honolulu incident completely pushed the U.S. government to the forefront. Although the Americans suffered heavy losses in this riot, at least a thousand people died, and the property damage was immeasurable, the more than 100 wounded U.S. soldiers who were arrested made them
He became the chief culprit of the entire incident, and even the Americans who were killed and injured suffered it themselves.
As the Queen of Hawaii successively announced the testimonies of American soldiers through People's Radio, the evidence was conclusive that Americans were masterminds of the Hawaiian riot. Germany, which had the best relationship with Yang Feng, first condemned the participation of American Minister Stevenson and the Navy in the Hawaiian riot.
Expressing praise for the Chinese navy's rescue of the city at a critical moment, following Germany, several other countries that have close relations with Yang Feng, such as Spain, Sweden, and Turkey, also issued similar statements. For a while, Americans felt miserable.
Forced into desperation, U.S. President McKinley announced the recall of Stevenson, and at the same time dispatched an investigation team to Hawaii to conduct a thorough investigation. If it is found that there are indeed American diplomats playing a disgraceful role, then the U.S. government will definitely
Punish them in accordance with the law.
Just when the international community was abuzz about the Hawaiian bombs, the merchant ship escorted by Cervera's main fleet also sailed into the Bay of Havana. Looking at the boxes of unloaded submachine guns and bullets, the Governor of Pollavisha even
He shed tears of excitement. During this period, he was living like a year. The US military had increased its troops in Havana to 70,000 and captured many important strongholds including San Jose de la Lajas. Now he has retreated to the outer defense line of Havana.
.
Outside the battlefield of Havana, the Texas Independence Brigade and the Cuban Revolutionary Army led by Johnson were heading west. Wherever they passed, it could be said that they were unstoppable. In a short period of time, the Cuban Revolutionary Army had grown to more than 100,000 people, and they were using captured troops.
With the income from Spanish property, a large number of new weapons were purchased from Raytheon Company. Another US military force of about 20,000 people was also advancing eastward, but the progress was not very fast due to the small number of troops.
"Your Excellency, Governor, hold on for another month. As long as we can hold on until the hurricane season is over, we can end this war." Cervera confidently said to Pollavisha, adding that the arrival of the torpedoes made him more confident about this war.
He is full of confidence in the war, and now he and Dewey are in a delicate balance. Because Dewey still has the advantage in the main fleet, so without the destroyer fleet joining, he does not want to risk his battleships in a decisive battle with Dewey, so
It can only be allowed to use the capital ship as a transport ship to transport supplies to Matanzas when the hurricane blows.
When the weather was calm, Dewey refused to leave the Key West military port even if he was beaten to death. Even if the Spanish fleet ran to bombard Matanzas, he could only watch from the other side. Restricted by material supplies, although the U.S. military was in
Although they have the advantage on land, they are unable to truly defeat the Spaniards. What's more, Pollavisha still has poison gas bombs in his hands. If it weren't for the lack of troops and good weather, he could even launch a counterattack. The two sides are now in a stalemate.
The Spanish just want to wait until the hurricane season is over, and then send the fleet to New York to bombard the Americans to end the war. The Americans just want to wait until they get torpedoes from Yang Feng, build their own destroyers, and then
