America 1881: Legend of the West

Kameda Masao's behavior shocked Chen Jianqiu.

He originally thought that the old turtle pushed Yamamoto Haruma away to let him go out to call for support or to treat the burns on his hands.

It turned out that he didn’t want his subordinates to see what he would do next.

A rough-skinned person like Kameda finds this behavior very embarrassing.

Chen Jianqiu said nothing, just crossed his legs and tapped the edge of the table with his fingers.

Kameda Masao quickly straightened up and sat back in his chair, his face not red and his heart not beating.

Chen Jianqiu poured him another cup of tea.

"Chen Sang, actually it was not my intention to attack Chinatown. Xuanyangshe's target is the entire Honolulu and even Hawaii." Kameda Masao said frankly.

"The attack on Chinatown is, firstly, to divert the attention of the Hawaiian authorities and those white farmers! Secondly, it is to integrate the power of the East."

Chen Jianqiu laughed inwardly as he listened.

The reason Kameda Masao came up with was too far-fetched, half true and half false.

He really wanted to see what kind of swan meat this guy was thinking about.

"Chen Sang! You also know that since Queen Liliu'okanila ascended the throne and demanded changes to the constitution, the Hawaiian People's Alliance headed by Thurston has been preparing for a coup. This has almost become the most open secret in this island country. !”

"If they succeed, Hawaii will soon establish a white government and then be incorporated into the Union, just like Texas!"

"At that time, neither Japanese nor Chinese will have a place in Hawaii!"

Kameda Masao used a drowsy tone to make a penetrating analysis.

He looked at Chen Jianqiu:

"Chen Sang, we are both from Greater East Asia. We have the same skin color and similar culture. This is different from those Christians. We should form an alliance."

"The Japanese and Chinese together account for 60% of the entire population of Hawaii. Together we can end the rule of those white people here!"

His tone began to fluctuate slightly, which was rare, indicating that he was already quite excited.

"For the losses caused in the battle in Chinatown, I will pay you double compensation according to your wishes; as long as our coup succeeds, whether we form a coalition government or divide it among ourselves, I can make concessions!"

"You and I will definitely succeed if we join hands!"

After Kameda Masao finished speaking, he stood up again and bowed at 90 degrees again:

"Chen Sang! Please!"

Chen Jianqiu raised his eyebrows:

"How do you plan to seize power?"

"Storm into the palace in Honolulu, kidnap the queen, take control of the cabinet, and force her to dissolve the cabinet and abdicate!" Masao Kameda looked fierce, "The only armed force in her hands, the Honolulu Lancers, is not your soldiers or my samurai. opponent."

"Would the United States, Britain or France choose to intervene?" Chen Jianqiu asked, squinting his eyes.

"The Emperor and the Imperial Cabinet may have misgivings about an uncertain place, but they will never allow a piece of land that has become the Empire of Japan to be taken away again!" Kameda Masao said word by word, with a determined expression. And perseverance.

"Do you want to take a gamble?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

Kameda Masao nodded: "Yes, let's take a gamble!"

Chen Jianqiu was quite shocked after hearing Kameda Masao's plan.

This grandson’s heart is too big!

The way he does things is almost the same as that of his descendants.

The following committed crimes against the superiors and used adventuristic military actions to tie the superiors to themselves.

Chen Jianqiu looked through the window at Pearl Harbor, which was still under construction in the distance.

Decades later, a bunch of Japanese did similar things in the same place.

A fancy bet on the fate of the country, success or failure is a one-shot deal.

He couldn't even win Chinatown, but now he wants to use his own strength to gamble on something bigger and make a comeback.

Want to eat shit?

However, Chen Jianqiu did not refuse on the spot.

His face was still as calm as water, without any actual thoughts in his heart:

"You're right, you can give it a try and discuss the details of cooperation later."

Since Hawaii is going to be chaotic, let’s just make it a little more chaotic.

Only in muddy water can we fish.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Honolulu, at the offices of the Hawaii People's Alliance.

Another unstable factor in Hawaii, Mr. Thurston, is having an emergency meeting with his top brass.

The Hawaiian People's League was founded in 1887 as a secret organization.

The purpose of its establishment was to subvert the Kingdom of Hawaii.

And now, many of them are already members of the kingdom's cabinet.

"Thurston! We have to act quickly! If we delay like this, that bitch will deal with us one by one." An old man with a white beard banged his pipe on the table, making a "dong dong" sound. "Boom" sound.

He was one of the oldest members of the Hawaiian People's Alliance and a sugar plantation owner.

And the "bitch" in his mouth naturally refers to the new queen, Queen Liliu Okanira.

Unlike her cowardly and incompetent brother, she has a group of indigenous supporters, which is why the queen dares to change the constitution.

"Then what do you have to say?" Thurston was not in a hurry to get angry. He sat down on the table, crossed his hands on his chest, and looked at the old man with a white beard.

"We organize our own armed forces, then attack the palace, capture the queen, and force her to abdicate!"

The plans of the white-bearded old man and Kameda Masao can be called "the 'heroes' have the same vision." I really wonder if the two of them would have any sympathy for each other if they faced each other.

"Maybe if it was a few years ago, when we had a lot of our guys on the Honolulu Lancers." Thurston rested his chin on his hand.

"So, that was our best chance! As for that sick guy in Kalakaua, even if we kill him with a secret shot, no one would be surprised!" Another white man wearing overalls added.

"Stop talking about this, let's think about it now!" Someone changed the topic back on track.

The alliance was silent for a moment.

The armed forces they can organize now are only a few hundred untrained white militiamen, and at most they can hire some Chinese and Japanese to fill in temporarily.

With these alone, how can they compete with the more than a thousand Hawaiian spear soldiers? !

Isn’t that a gamble? Bet on your life?

"Let me tell you, I still have to trouble you, Mr. Stevenson, and ask him to ask Washington for help." The old man with the white beard smoked his pipe again and said with a crooked corner of his mouth.

"Okay, I'll contact Stevenson." Thurston decided decisively and simply.

As long as there is an American warship docked in the port of Honolulu, how dare those people in the Hawaiian Lancers fart? !

Moreover, Ambassador Stevenson has always been very supportive of him.

The previous cabinet also signed many unequal treaties with the United States that exported benefits under its own control.

People like me have done their best for the United States! It is also in line with the consistent interests of the United States! Why don't they help you when you're doing your own thing? !

However, when he came to visit the ambassador at his home, met the ambassador, and expressed his request.

Stevenson was hesitant and hemmed and haphazard in a rare move.

But Thurston is not that easy to fool.

He kept asking questions over and over again.

In the end, the ambassador told the truth:

President Cleveland did not support the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
