Scott's eyes were fixed on Li Zhen, his eyes were clear and full of vigor, as if he was no longer an old man in his twilight years, but a general who commanded Ruoding's decisive killings on the battlefield. He was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed softly. He took a breath and said solemnly: "President Li, it's a major matter concerning China. It's best if I don't listen. I'll leave now. You can discuss it slowly with Chen Yucheng, Liu Jintang and Huang Qiang."
He stood up and prepared to walk out.
Li Zhen immediately stood up, grabbed Scott, and said, "Mr. Scott, I believe you."
One sentence expresses Li Zhen’s heart.
Scott looked back with gratitude in his eyes, thanking Li Zhen for believing in him.
However, Scott still shook his head and said with a serious expression: "The affairs of the Hawaiian Islands involve a very wide range and have a very large impact. Not only the British Empire, but also the French Empire and the Federation. The three countries will definitely not sit idly by. Of course, I am an out-and-out federal citizen and an out-and-out federal soldier. I can help President Lee establish a military academy and help President Lee educate students, but I will not help you deal with your own motherland. "
Scott looked serious, his hoarse voice was sonorous, and he said decisively: "President Lee, I admire your strategic vision, because your analysis of Hawaii Island is correct, but I cannot participate, please forgive me. ."
The patriotism of an old man was displayed in front of Li Zhen.
In this situation, it was difficult for Li Zhen to persuade him.
Li Zhen knew Scott, so he didn't intend to persuade him.
Li Zhen thought carefully for a moment and said: "I respect Mr. Scott's choice and agree with your approach. If I were in your position, I would make the same decision. Once things unfold in Hawaii, there will definitely be The federal army is coming, so be it, tomorrow I will ask Captain Teach to send a ship to take you back to China, and I will return later, what do you think?"
Scott's old face showed a smile and bowed: "Thank you, President Lee." He turned and left the room. After Li Zhen watched Scott leave, he then turned back to his seat with a solemn expression.
After all, it will be much more convenient to have an experienced person on the side to advise you.
It's a pity that Li Zhen had to send Scott away.
Li Zhen's eyes fell on Huang Qiang and said: "Huang Qiang, tomorrow morning, you will bring a hundred soldiers from the Jiandao Battalion to escort the Scott family back. After arriving in Guangzhou, ask Guangdong Governor Wang Xiaoyang to send someone to escort the Scott family there. In Beijing, Zuo Zongtang will personally receive Scott, and Wang Xiaoyang must pay attention to it, do you understand?"
"clear."
Huang Qiang nodded in agreement and said: "Give Scott to Mr. Wang, and I will rush back immediately."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Not only do you have to rush back, but you also have to mobilize the navy. Qi Zhenhai is stationed in Guangzhou. You inform Qi Zhenhai and ask him to mobilize part of the navy to come to Hawaii. This time there is no need to fight, but the necessary deterrence is necessary. of."
"yes."
Huang Qiang nodded, as if he was determined to complete the task.
Li Zhen stopped talking about Scott. He changed the topic and returned to Hawaii. He said seriously: "Now, let's discuss how to win Hawaii."
Liu Jintang said proudly: "Command the pirates and take over Hawaii in one go."
Li Zhen smiled and asked, "What next."
Liu Jintang was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and said directly: "Then, then, we all won Hawaii in one go. Everything is over, there is no need to continue."
Li Zhen scratched his head, you don't think about the consequences of your feelings.
Li Zhen asked: "What if the U.S. Federation sends troops to Hawaii and launches an attack?"
Liu Jintang waved his hand and said: "Fight back."
Li Zhen asked again: "What if the British army also arrives in Hawaii and joins the United States to attack together."
Liu Jintang replied: "Call back."
Li Zhen asked again: "What if the French army also comes back and joins forces with the United Kingdom and the United States to attack together?"
"I, I can't win."
Liu Jintang felt dissatisfied and felt a headache.
If there is only one country's military strength, even if Hawaii Island has no strategic depth, it can still deal with it. However, if two or three countries unite, the country will definitely face great difficulties. Not to mention the confrontation on land, there is one on the sea. It's a big problem. Liu Jintang is not a reckless person. He has gone through many battles, big and small, and has already been tempered, so he can assess the situation.
Chen Yucheng rolled his eyes and said: "President, in my opinion, to take over Hawaii Island, we need to use vigorous and vigorous Jinjin together with Xu Tu and slow Jin to completely take over Hawaii."
"How to advance vigorously and diligently, how to advance slowly and slowly." Li Zhen suddenly became interested.
Chen Yucheng was full of confidence and expressed his thoughts.
According to Chen Yucheng's idea, he would first attack fiercely with thunderous means, and then slowly advance slowly step by step, gradually gaining a foothold in Hawaii. Such a strategy made Li Zhen and Liu Jintang couldn't help but nod.
After listening, Li Zhen nodded and said: "Chen Yucheng's strategy is very good. I agree. The highlight is the strategy to deal with the three countries of Britain, France and the United States. This is the most critical step to get the Hawaiian Islands. Very good, that's it. Execute." After a pause, Li Zhen yawned and said, "Go and have a rest. We will start executing the plan tomorrow."
The three of them stood up to say goodbye, but Li Zhen did not rest.
He carefully demonstrated the suggestions put forward by Chen Yucheng and made sure they were correct before going to rest.
Early the next morning, Li Zhen came to the hall, and Tiqi quickly rushed over.
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Your Excellency Teach, the matter in Hawaii will involve the United States Federation, and as the former military commander of the United States Federation, Mr. Scott is not convenient to participate in the next events, so he has to rush there first. China, at the same time, I also need to send people back to China to deliver news and send troops to help prevent Britain, France, and the United States from interfering at will and ensure the stability of the overall situation. Therefore, I need Your Excellency Teach to send a ship to send them away."
"I'll arrange it immediately."
Teach agreed and immediately asked the pirates to prepare.
He absolutely fully supports the increase in troops mentioned by Li Zhen. Only with enough troops can he have enough confidence.
Ten o'clock in the morning, Pirate Island Port.
Li Zhen, Chen Yucheng, Liu Jintang, Teach, Thomson and others stood on the dock, waving to say goodbye to Scott, Huang Qiang and others who were standing on the deck. The whistle sounded, and the ship slowly left the port, and then Speeding up and disappearing from sight, Li Zhen stared at the departing shadow of the ship for a long time, then looked at Tiqi beside him and said: "Captain Tiqi, I originally asked you to give me two days to prepare, but now I have determined the target." Let’s go and talk about Hawaii’s strategy in detail when we get back.”
"Okay."
Teach nodded and returned excitedly.
This time, it is not a small fight, it is to capture the Kingdom of Hawaii. Perhaps, for Li Zhen, attacking such a small country is no longer in his sights, but for Teach, a big pirate, it is simply a big deal. .
How spectacular it is for a group of pirates to attack a country.
