Chapter two hundred and seventy-fifth Sino-US dispute
"Your Majesty, I'm so happy!" On the morning of July 16, Yang Hua, Xiong Wu, Cai Yun, Zhang Cheng, Wu Tingfang and others came together to congratulate Wang Yuze. Their faces were filled with excited smiles.
"Where does the joy come from? No, has our plan in Hawaii been successful?" Wang Yuze asked immediately. The people stationed in Hawaii will take action in the past two days. Now it seems that it should be successful.
"Emperor! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received a telegram from Queen Liliu Karani, the Kingdom of Hawaii, hoping to become a vassal state of our Chinese Empire!" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang said with a smile. The telegram from Hawaii was sent at 9 am local time on the 15th.
Yes, due to the time difference, it was already 3 a.m. on the 16th when Beijing received it. Therefore, the leaders of the Imperial Government came to meet Wang Yuze early in the morning.
"Haha! The Kingdom of Hawaii was successfully restored, which was really great. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately issued an announcement, agreeing to the application of Queen Liliu Karani of the Kingdom of Hawaii. In addition, I passed on my will to formally enthrone Queen Liliu Karani as Hawaii
King of the Kingdom!" Wang Yuze said excitedly. Taking Hawaii means that China and the United States will be able to take the lead in the competition in the Pacific. Once Hawaii is built into a solid maritime base by China, the United States will not only be local to China
It becomes very difficult for the navy to get involved in the Pacific again.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Tingfang replied immediately. China has always had this mentality of a country above the Celestial Kingdom. Whether it is the people or the court, even after the Qing Dynasty was knocked open by Western powers, it has not changed this mentality.
.When now, if a vassal state joins the French, does not mean that the Chinese Empire is becoming more and more powerful? The Ministry of Rites is no longer in the new imperial department, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for foreign affairs. Therefore, a vassal state joins
This is also a happy thing for Wu Tingfang!
"How is the situation in Hawaii now?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Master, our army has completely controlled Oahu, and the President of the Republic of Hawaii has been arrested by us. Now our troops are preparing to attack several other islands, and within three days, we will be able to take Hawaii!
Xiong Wu replied.
"Where is the Pacific Fleet? Where has it been?" Wang Yuze asked. The fleet is the key to defending Hawaii. As long as the Pacific Fleet can intimidate the US Navy, the United States can only watch China take over the strategic location of Hawaii,
middle.
"Your Majesty, the Pacific Fleet has been traveling a long distance and is a little slower. You can arrive on Oahu Island on the 17th of Hawaiian time!" said Navy Secretary Zhang Cheng.
"Very good, order the Pacific Fleet to be careful to prevent Americans' revenge. The Americans suffered such a big loss, obviously they would not give up!" Wang Yuze said. Although the United States' military strength is not strong, there are only four new battleships.
But the strength of economic and industrial strength has gradually revealed the ambition of outward expansion. Hawaii is undoubtedly the first step in their expansion and is also the most important thing. Seeing that this is about to succeed, China has already taken it to the point of
The ripe peaches were picked away, and everyone knows that the United States will definitely not give up.
"Master, the US navy is too weak, with only four new battleships, and there is only one in the Pacific direction. The other three are all deployed along the Atlantic coast. With the strength of the Pacific Fleet, it can completely defeat the US Navy.
.As for the US Army, it is just a National Guard with only a hundred thousand troops, and it is vulnerable at all. As long as the Pacific Fleet can defeat the US Navy, the United States will not dare to attack Hawaii!" Zhang Cheng said. The Navy will not be in one day.
The construction of a new battleship that can be built will take at least one to two years. Even if it is a three-shift method, it will probably take more than one year. With the industrial strength of the United States, I want to build it.
A fleet that matches the Royal Chinese Navy may take several years. During this period, China has already consolidated its rule and construction over Hawaii. The United States wants to rob it from China without robbing it back, but
It's not that easy.
"Don't be careless! Because of other pressure, we cannot send reinforcements to the Pacific Fleet for a long time, and can only rely on their own strength. From now on, we will immediately transport construction machinery and building materials to Hawaii, and in Pearl Harbor.
Building a shipyard does not require the ability to build a battleship, but it is possible to cultivate injured battleships at a very small rate!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, the emperor!" Zhang Cheng said with his order.
"Very good, then, let's post the specific situation to the outside world and prepare to welcome the anger of the Americans!" Wang Yuze said. Although the Pacific Ocean is the first ocean, it cannot accommodate two powerful countries. There will inevitably be between China and the United States because of this.
The interests of the Pacific Ocean conflict. Now it is a great opportunity for China. Now the United States is the main areas along the Atlantic coast, and the Pacific coast is not valued. Then, because the Panama Canal has not been completed, the US Navy
If the main force on the Atlantic Ocean wants to support the Pacific direction, he has to dodge South America. This is more than 20,000 kilometers away! Under the current technological conditions, this is simply a risk. Even if the US Navy dares to take this risk
With the current strength of the US Navy, it is impossible to compete with the Chinese Navy. Even the weakest Chinese Navy Pacific Fleet!
Today is destined to be a day that shocks the world. At 10:30 in the morning, Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang announced to the envoys and reporters from various countries to China that at the invitation of Queen Liliu Karani, the Kingdom of Hawaii, a Chinese employed man.
The army helped Queen Liliu Karani to restore the reign. Now, the Queen of Hawaii has made a request to become a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. The Emperor of the Chinese Empire has agreed to Queen Liliu Karani's application to canonize her as Queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
When Wu Tingfang announced the news, it immediately caused a burst of exclamation. Although Hawaii controls more than 50% of the world's sugar trade, in the eyes of the great powers, this is not a big deal and he doesn't care at all.
But now China has made a fuss in Hawaii and directly helped Queen Liliu Karani to restore the situation successfully, which undoubtedly caused shock. Because everyone knows that the United States has regarded Hawaii as a ban, and the US Congress has begun to accept Hawaii.
The discussion began to become the fiftieth state of the United States. But now, Hawaii has become a vassal state of China, which undoubtedly gave the United States a solid slap!
"Protest! The US government protests this. China is seriously interfering in the internal affairs of the Republic of Hawaii. It is a barbaric act of sending troops to overthrow a country's regime. It is illegal! The United States will never agree to such a thing!"
US Minister to China Sherlock immediately jumped up and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Sorry, Mr. Sherlock, our country is acting at the invitation of Queen Liliu Karani. Now, the Kingdom of Hawaii has become a vassal state of our country. The Chinese Empire will assume the responsibility of protecting the security and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Hawaii, any
Military actions against the Kingdom of Hawaii will be regarded as a provocation to the Chinese Empire. We will start a war against the country!" Wu Tingfang said righteously.
"Hisser Wu Tingfang, your country will definitely regret what you did today!" US Minister Sherlock to China left immediately after putting down a harsh statement. The United States must not know about this matter yet, and he must report it to the country immediately.
Only do it.
The other ministers had different expressions on their faces. Ogner, the British ambassador to China, looked a little serious. There is no doubt that China's current behavior made him feel China's ambition to expand outward, which is for it.
The United Kingdom, which has huge overseas interests, is very threatening. Therefore, he believes that it should be recommended that the country increase its suppression of China. Japanese Minister to China Taro Kawaguchi looked happy, and Japan fought against China alone, which made him look happy.
It's a bit difficult. If the United States joins in, Japan will have a much better life. Other countries are not concerned about their own affairs. The war between China and the United States has nothing to do with them.
I am happy to watch the show.
The 25th President of the United States, Washington, White House. William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, was shouted out from bed by his secretary. It is already late at night. President McKinley, who has recently suffered from insomnia, finally went to bed early for one night, but
He was disturbed, which made him very angry.
However, when he arrived at the office, he found Vice President Garrett Hobart, Secretary of State John Sherman, Finance Minister Lehman J. Gage, War Minister Russell A. Alger and Deputy Admiralty Department
Minister Theodore Roosevelt had arrived, which made him realize that Ying must have had trouble and no longer pursued the disturbance of sleep.
"Well, gentlemen, what happened? Let you all come so late?" asked President William McKinley, who glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already 11:30 p.m.
.
"His Excellency President, we have just received a call from Mr. Sherlock, Ambassador to China. On the morning of the 16th, China announced that the Kingdom of Hawaii became a vassal state of China, and China will protect the security of the Kingdom of Hawaii!" Secretary of State John Sherman said.
, without a foreign minister, diplomatic affairs have always been personally responsible for the Secretary of State.
"The Kingdom of Hawaii? Why is it the Kingdom of Hawaii? Is Hawaii not Sandford? Is that Hawaii Republic ruled by that guy Dore?" William McKinley said in surprise.
Chapter completed!
