Rebirth of the Northern Giants

A Chinese reporter raised his hand and stood up and said, "Hi, I'm a reporter from Asia Times. May I ask, Mr. Foreign Minister, this is the first time that the Republic of China government has sent warships to protect overseas Chinese. Will it become a practice in the future?"

Wu Tingfang nodded, and said solemnly: "Overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese are an inseparable part of our Chinese nation. If there is violence against our Chinese in the country where they live, the government will not hesitate to send troops to protect them. "

Wu Tingfang's answer won a burst of cheers from the Chinese reporters present.

A French reporter raised his hand indignantly and asked, "Dear Mr. Wu, is your government too hegemonic?"

Wu Tingfang stared at him closely, and then said: "This French friend, life is equal. Since the Americans can send warships to Havana to protect their expatriates, our government also has the same power."

In this era, I don’t know how many Western powers pursue the policy of encroaching on the territory of other countries on the grounds of protecting the lives of their own citizens. However, on the surface, everyone pretends to be a gentleman, and Wu Tingfang is not afraid that the French reporter will tear his face and expose Show the hypocrisy of the great powers.

Sure enough, when the French reporter heard Wu Tingfang use the US government as an example, he sat down unwillingly.

The faces of the American journalists present here are very ugly. These American journalists in China did not come to China with special missions.

One of the American reporters stood up and asked: "Mr. Wu, your government is making a fuss and sending troops to Hawaii will only cause more chaos and more harm. Your government's doing so will only make the whole world Hawaii is in jeopardy."

Wu Tingfang replied without a moment's pause: "What this friend from the reporter said is very bad. Our military is strictly disciplined, and it will be of great benefit to stabilizing the situation in Hawaii without any harm."

……

On the Dingyuan, Jiang Renhui, the chief mate, walked to Deng Shichang, and said excitedly: "Teacher, it's time to act."

"Really?" Deng Shichang, who was speechless for a long time, turned around and said, "I didn't expect the time to pass so fast. I passed my order and the whole ship set off for Pearl Harbor."

The reason why they did not go to the port of Honolulu first, but went to Pearl Harbor first, was because the Americans had several speedboats in Pearl Harbor. The purpose of the North Sea Fleet was to suppress the Americans and prevent other islands from adding troops to the Big Island of Hawaii.

An hour later, the lookout on the American speedboat cruising outside Pearl Harbor suddenly screamed.

"Oh my god, that is, which country's fleet is that, and it is heading for Pearl Harbor. Hurry up, hurry up and call the police." The watchman shouted in panic.

"It can't be the Spanish fleet. If it is the Spanish fleet, we will be finished." Another sailor guessed fearfully.

"Impossible, the Spaniards are wandering around the Atlantic Ocean to avoid our fleet, how could they come to the Pacific Ocean?"

The fleet approached slowly, and the watchman finally saw the military flag on it clearly, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a rare smile: "It seems to be a Chinese fleet."

In the past one or two years, with Ye Zhikui's coming to power, Sino-US trade exchanges have been frequent, and there are no major conflicts of interest between China and the United States, and the relationship is still passable.

The soldiers certainly thought that the Chinese fleet would not do anything to them.

In fact, Deng Shichang did not do anything to them, but let the fleet block Pearl Harbor.

After hearing the news, Captain Laker of the U.S. Speedboat Brigade hurriedly boarded the boat to negotiate.

Due to the Spanish-American War, the Americans only had a dozen speedboats in Hawaii to symbolically maintain order at sea.

After boarding the Dingyuan, Laker looked at the huge Chinese fleet maintaining a one-line formation, and couldn't help frowning. The soldiers didn't know, didn't he?The Chinese will not come to this small island when they are full and have nothing to do. They are not kind to the visitors.

"Dear Deng, may I ask what is your purpose for leading the fleet here?" Laker naturally knew the well-known Deng Shichang in the naval circles, and lowered his posture and asked tentatively as soon as he came.

Deng Shichang also learned of Lakel's identity from others, and said solemnly: "Colonel Lakel, I have received news that violence against us Chinese and overseas Chinese has occurred in the Republic of Hawaii. Therefore, I am ordered to come here to protect all Chinese on the island." overseas Chinese."

Laker asked again: "Then why did the general blockade our Pearl Harbor?"

Deng Shichang smiled and said: "In order to avoid misunderstanding and accidental injury, I had no choice but to lead the fleet here to meet you first."

Hell's accidental injury, Laker secretly slandered in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, General Deng, who had slaughtered ships like hemp, had no intention of annihilating his speedboat brigade, at least his life was saved. Leave it to the President of the United States to have a headache.

Laker said a few more hypocritical words, then hurriedly turned and left, intending to report the matter to the US government.

Pearl Harbor is a military port with no merchant ships, but Honolulu port is a civilian port with frequent merchant ships from various countries, and it is very hot. When Deng Shichang left a few warships to monitor the Americans, he led the remaining The battleship appeared here.

The arrival of the Chinese fleet obviously caused a panic. The sound of guns on the island was still ringing, and warships appeared in the port again. There was still a peaceful place there.

Although freighters and merchant ships from various countries are not afraid of the Chinese fleet attacking them, in order not to cause unnecessary troubles, they are still preparing to evacuate this restless place first.

But Deng Shichang didn't want the news to spread so quickly, at least he had to wait for him to completely control the situation on Hawaii before letting them go.

With an order, there was a loud bang, and the artillery fire landed on the sea surface where the freighter had to leave the port, stirring up water jets. This was a warning. If anyone did not listen to the warning, they would not fall on the sea next time, but would land on the sea. on board now.

"Let's start landing, and join the Song Ping Lan Department on the island as soon as possible." Deng Shichang said lightly.

"Yes, belt," the Marine Corps general responded.

In the Queen's Residence, Song Pinglan once again repelled another attack by the army and police of the Republic of Hawaii.

In fact, it cannot be blamed for the low combat power of these armies. The army of the Republic of Hawaii is actually composed of a group of mercenaries. They only do things for money. They had no choice but to perish on the island.

Song Pinglan couldn't help but be overjoyed by the sound of cannons from the port, and let go of the stone that weighed on his heart. He knew that it must be the arrival of the Beihai Fleet.

Now he needs a title.

Song Pinglan gave up the command to Liu Yongfu, but rushed to find the queen with a few soldiers.

Gunshots rang out all night, and Queen Liliukalani also stayed up all night. Chen Afang and Tang Tingzhi kept chatting with her.

When Song Pinglan walked in, Chen Afang and the others were already gasping for air. Seeing this old man who was still in good spirits, Chen Afang and the others just lamented that being young is a blessing.

Song Pinglan's expression did not change at all. She saluted the Queen first, and then said, "Queen, the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii is imminent. I need a legal identity to continue helping you."

Chen Afang, Tang Tingzhi, and a small number of soldiers who came early have already joined the Hawaiian nationality, but Song Pinglan, Liu Yongfu and others who came late have not yet joined. Only by joining the Hawaiian nationality can this incident become a Hawaiian one. internal affairs.

And once the queen ascends the throne, she can issue a statement saying that she asked for the help of the Chinese government, so the North Sea Fleet will appear here. In short, the Yankees have nothing to say on the surface.

The Queen took out a big seal from under the bed, spread out the paper and wrote, "General Song, in the name of the Queen of Hawaii, I allow you to become a Hawaiian citizen, and at the same time canonize you as the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and appoint you as the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Hawaii." Field Marshal, who commands the soldiers of the Kingdom of Hawaii."

Song Pinglan took the letter seriously, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Queen, Song will guarantee the safety of the Queen with his own reputation, and allow the Queen to ascend the throne again."

Subsequently, Chen Afang resumed his post, and Tang Tingzhi, the Minister of the Privy Council, also became the Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hawaii.

On the other hand, the Chinese Marine Corps defeated the Honolulu Rifles in Hawaii like a bamboo shoot, which stunned the ministers stationed in Hawaii. What kind of game did the Chinese play?

Deng Shichang first stated that he had no intention of interfering in Hawaii's internal affairs, and he came here only to protect the Chinese and blame himself. However, after landing, the Honolulu rifle team opened fire on the Chinese army for no reason.

As a last resort, the Chinese army will fight back and fire.

Song Pinglan soon got in touch with Deng Shichang. Now, the two places merged, and those mercenaries were no longer opponents. Most of them fled in all directions, throwing away their guns and weapons, and mixed in with the civilians.

After defeating the white army, the Queen of Hawaii came out. She first issued a statement, claiming that the Republic of Hawaii was a colonial government and an illegal government. , defeated the invading colonial army, and the Kingdom of Hawaii was re-established.

The queen immediately issued several appointments, most of whom were returned Chinese. Of course, local aborigines who had a good relationship with the queen were also appointed, calling on the people to rise up against the rule of the colonists, and fight for freedom with her Fight for sovereignty over Hawaii.

The Queen of Hawaii still has great prestige among the indigenous people. A large number of indigenous people took to the streets to celebrate and welcome the restoration of the Queen.

On the one hand, Marshal Song Pinglan of the Kingdom of Hawaii led the army to continue to suppress the remnants of the army, and recruited soldiers from the Chinese to form the Kingdom of Hawaii Guards Corps. On the other hand, they reoccupied the palace and the parliament building.

Seeing that the situation was calm, Deng Shichang ordered the Marine Corps to station at the Ariolani Palace, which is only one street away from the Royal Palace, and waited quietly for the development of the situation.
