    In 1897, Hawaii had a population of more than 100,000, but less than half were Hawaiians. The rest were immigrants from the United States and Japan, and there were tens of thousands of Chinese in Hawaii.  In Hawaii, the United States and Japan launched a fierce competition. However, Japan was defeated by China in the war two years ago and its navy was eliminated. This made Japan lose the ability to compete with the United States. Even so, the Hawaiian islands  The Japanese population in the world also exceeds 30,000.

    Honolulu, which the Chinese are accustomed to call Honolulu, is located in the southeast corner of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands in the North Pacific. It extends on the riverside plain. It is the capital of the former Kingdom of Hawaii and the current Republic of Hawaii.

    The Chen family of Bell Street is the largest Chinese family in Hawaii. The ancestor of the Chen family, Chen Fang, came to Hawaii more than 40 years ago and settled here. They are mainly engaged in the sale, wholesale and shipping of Chinese goods.  After decades of development, it has become one of the largest enterprises in Hawaii.  The Chen family also became a famous family in Hawaii.  Although Chen Fang, who is over 70 years old, has handed over most of the family business to his two sons, Chen Kangan and Chen Kangning, he actually still controls all the power of the Chen family.  This time, the Military Intelligence Bureau got in touch with the Chen family, and successfully secretly sent a battalion of troops to Oahu, where they are now at the Chen family's sugar cane plantation on the outskirts of Honolulu.

    When Huang Zhiming returned to the Chen family from the Yilani Palace, it was already two o'clock in the morning.  But at this time, Chen Fang and her two sons still didn't sleep, waiting for Huang Zhiming in the Chen family's living room.

    "Mr. Chen, are you two young masters still asleep?" Huang Zhiming asked with a smile after seeing the three of them.

    "Master Huang, was it successful?" Chen Fang asked nervously.  They were abandoned by the Chinese Empire, and their lives overseas were not satisfactory. After the Hawaiian coup, they were even more oppressed by the Americans, and their business became increasingly difficult.  When the Military Intelligence Bureau contacted them, the Chen family agreed to provide convenience to the Military Intelligence Bureau without saying a word.

    "Of course, Her Majesty the Queen has agreed to our request. In a few days, we can start!" Huang Zhiming said with a smile.

    "Great! His Majesty the Emperor has not forgotten us abandoned citizens of the Celestial Empire! Now, we can finally feel proud!" Chen Fang couldn't help but burst into tears.  Chinese people have always attached great importance to the concept of locality. Chen Fang is more than seventy years old, so naturally she hopes to return to her roots.  However, under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China had always ignored these overseas abandoned people.  But now, the establishment of the Chinese Empire has given them hope.

    "Master Huang, that guy Dole's army has thousands of people. In addition, if something happens here, the Americans will definitely send reinforcements as soon as possible. Can we succeed?" Chen Fang's eldest son Chen Kang'an asked  .  As Chen Kangan and his two brothers were born and raised in Hawaii, they have naturally seen the power of the United States.  As for their motherland, China, they are just among the rumors they have heard. Those rumors basically talk about how decadent and backward China is.  In their view, there is no way that China can compare with the United States, and if the Chen family follows the man named Huang, they may be implicated in it in the end.

    "Please rest assured, Sir, China is far more powerful than you imagine. We defeated the Japanese two years ago. Haven't you noticed that the Japanese have become much more honest in the past two years? Our fleet has already set off.  It will take at most half a month to arrive in Hawaii. We take action in advance to rescue the Queen and arrest Sandford Dole and others. At that time, the Queen will declare the Kingdom of Hawaii to be a vassal state of our Chinese Empire, and our fleet will be  We can legitimately enter Pearl Harbor. Although the American industry is strong, it is not very good in terms of armaments. Our Pacific Fleet is enough to easily defeat them!" Huang Zhiming said with certainty.

    "Beast, you can't imagine how powerful the Celestial Empire is, and you still haven't apologized to Mr. Huang!" Chen Fang said angrily.

    "I'm sorry, Mr. Huang!" Chen Kangan apologized quickly.

    "He who doesn't know is not guilty. By the way, Her Majesty the Queen wants me to find Charles? B? Wilson, the former Marshal of the Kingdom of Hawaii, do you know where he is?" Huang Zhiming asked.

    "Charles? B? Wilson? This person has not appeared in the public eye since the demise of the Kingdom of Hawaii!" Chen Fang said with a frown.

    "Father, I know this man. He should be in Kakuhu, northeast of Oahu, where there is a small sugar cane plantation!" Chen Kangan said.

    "Well, Mr. Lao will wait for us to find him tomorrow!" Huang Zhiming said.

    "Okay!" Chen Kang'anAgreed.  Although he has some doubts about China's strength, he also knows that if this coup succeeds and the Kingdom of Hawaii is restored and becomes a vassal state of China, the Chinese will be able to be proud in Hawaii, and the Chen family will also be able to gain great benefits.

    The next day, Chen Kangan took people to the north of Oahu to buy sugar cane, and Huang Zhiming and others made up as his entourage.  The group of people avoided everyone's eyes and ears and met Charles?  B?  wilson.

    "Mr. Chen, are you here to buy sugar cane? This year's sugar cane has already been reserved by others!" Charles?  B?  Wilson said, he is an old man over sixty years old, with a big beard on his face and looks very rough.

    "Mr. Wilson, we have come to see you for something. Let's go into the room to talk!" Chen Kang'an said.

    "Okay!" Charles?  B?  Wilson glanced at Chen Kang'an suspiciously, but still led them into the wooden house.  Charles?  B?  Wilson's plantation was very small, which made his life not very good. The wooden house was very simple and had no decent furniture.

    "Mr. Chen, please tell me if you have anything to say!" Charles?  B?  Wilson asked.

    "This gentleman is looking for you!" Chen Kangan pointed at Huang Zhiming and said.

    "Mr. Wilson, I came to you on the order of Queen Liliuokalani!" Huang Zhiming said.

    "What? Her Majesty the Queen? Have you seen her? Impossible, she has been imprisoned by the Americans, and outsiders cannot see her at all!" Charles?  B?  Wilson said excitedly.

    "Mr. Wilson, what do you think this is?" Huang Zhiming showed the necklace given to him by Queen Liliuokalani.

    As expected, Charles?  B?  As soon as Wilson saw the necklace, he immediately snatched it and looked at it carefully, tears streaming from his eyes.

    "Sir, how is Her Majesty the Queen?" Charles?  B?  Wilson asked.

    "Her Majesty the Queen is living a very bad life. Although the Americans did not abuse her, they restricted her freedom. Her Majesty the Queen urgently hopes that we can rescue her!" Huang Zhiming said.

    "Two years ago, we tried hard, but ultimately failed!" Charles?  B?  Wilson said somewhat decadently.

    "Charles? B? Mr. Wilson, things are different now. You will get our help. This time, we can not only rescue Her Majesty the Queen, but also restore the Kingdom of Hawaii!" Huang Zhiming said.

    "Sir? Who are you?" Charles?  B?  Wilson asked a little warily.

    ¡°I came from China to help the Queen of Hawaii and her people!¡± Huang Zhiming said.

    "China? There is no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want from us?" Charles?  B?  Wilson stared at Huang Zhiming closely.

    "The Kingdom of Hawaii will become a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire will promise to protect the security and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Hawaii. What the Kingdom of Hawaii needs to pay is to lease Oahu and Kauai to China at a price of one million yuan per year.  Empire!" Huang Zhiming said frankly.

    ????????????????? Charles?  B?  Wilson nodded. He knew that the Chinese would definitely not help Hawaii selflessly, and would definitely have some agenda.  Now Huang Zhiming has put forward all the conditions, which makes him believe it.

    "Has Her Majesty the Queen agreed to your request?" Charles?  B?  Wilson asked.

    "Yes, it was Her Majesty the Queen who asked me to come to you!" Huang Zhiming said.

    "So, what kind of help do you need?" Charles?  B?  Wilson asked.  He knew that now was the only chance for the Hawaiian Kingdom.

    "Guide! And the support of the Hawaiian people!" Huang Zhiming said.

    "Okay, I can summon three hundred Hawaiian warriors within three days. However, we have no weapons. After the failed coup two years ago, that guy Sandford Dole has collected all our weapons.  It¡¯s all gone!¡± Charles?  B?  Wilson gritted his teeth and said.

    "It doesn't matter, we have enough force to defeat Sandford? Dole's people, you just need to let the people of Hawaii support us." Huang Zhiming said.

    "So, how soon do we start taking action?" Charles?  B?  Wilson asked.

    "Nine days later, our fleet has set sail. They will arrive in Hawaii in more than ten days and will improve our protection!" Huang Zhiming said.

    "Okay! I know, I'll be ready!" Charles?  B?  Wilson's eyes flashed with excitement.  Hawaiian people versus Americans Sandford?  The Republic of Hawaii established by Dole has no favorable opinion at all.The Republic of Hawaii has the support of the United States, and there is nothing they can do.  Now, with China's support, they will definitely be able to overthrow the Republic of Hawaii and rebuild the Kingdom of Hawaii.

    "Then, we will take action when the time comes. Charles? B? Wilson, please keep it secret. Don't let the news leak out in the last few days!" Huang Zhiming reminded.

    ????????????????? Charles?  B?  Wilson nodded, his whole body falling into ecstasy.
