    (Thanks to book friend Shi Daojun for the tip!)

    The night of July 14, 1897, was the day of restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and it was also a night of bloodshed and killing.

    In the Presidential Palace of the Republic of Hawaii, President Sandford?  Dole, Army Commander Pete, Secretary of State Lauren?  A?  Thurston and John, the U.S. Minister to the Republic of Hawaii?  Stevens was sitting around a table, enjoying the food on the table. Their faces were full of smiles, and the space between them was full of laughter.

    ¡°Gentlemen, I propose a toast to the great United States of America!¡± Sandford, President of the Republic of Hawaii?  Dole said.

    "Cheers!" Everyone else also raised their glasses and drank the red liquid in the glasses.  Hawaii does not produce red wine, but this is a high-end red wine imported from Bordeaux, France.  Hawaii controls 50% of the world's sugar trade and 70% of the pineapple canning industry. American capitalists like them have made huge profits in Hawaii.  The lives of native Hawaiians and Chinese are very difficult.

    "Everyone, next year, or at most next year, President McKinley will sign a decree, and Hawaii will become the 50th state of the United States. With the protection of the United States, our security can be guaranteed!" Sandford?  Dole said.  Although they overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom, they still needed to be wary of the restoration of the Hawaiian Kingdom's supporters at all times. At the same time, they also had to fight against other countries that wanted to get involved in Hawaii. This made them feel a little wary while enjoying themselves.  As long as Hawaii is annexed to the United States, their security will be guaranteed.  No country dares to attack the great United States.

    "So, next year, should we call you Governor Dole?" Pete laughed.

    "Haha, I should call you General Pitt by then!" Sandford?  Dole said with a laugh.  According to the agreement they reached with the United States, after Hawaii was annexed to the United States, Sanford?  Dole would become the first governor of Hawaii, and Pete would become a rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, Lauren?  A?  Thurston will also become the Governor of the State of Hawaii. These positions make them very satisfied.

    "Everyone, we still have the last half year, and we have to ensure peace and stability during this period!" John, the U.S. Minister to Hawaii?  Stevens reminded.

    "I know, Your Excellency, Minister. Although there are many native Hawaiians now, they have not disarmed and there is no way they can compete with us. As for those Japanese dwarfs, they were defeated by the Chinese two years ago and are gone.  The Navy, although they have more than 30,000 people in Hawaii, do not dare to go against the great United States of America. As long as Hawaii is successfully incorporated into the United States, I will definitely expel all these Japanese dwarfs from Hawaii!" Sandford?  Dole said.  The Japanese's ambitions for Hawaii are also obvious. Since 1840, they have been immigrating to Hawaii crazily. Now there are more than 30,000 Japanese in Hawaii. They are mainly engaged in sugar cane plantations and the sugar industry. They are engaged in various aspects and  Competition among American capitalists in Hawaii made these American capitalists very dissatisfied.

    "Your Excellency, the expulsion of the Japanese needs to be put aside for the time being. We still need the Japanese to deal with the rising power in the Far East. It is not appropriate to have a stalemate with Japan for the time being." John, the U.S. Minister to Hawaii?  Stevens said.  As an American minister abroad, he is naturally very clear about the current situation.  The rise of China in the Far East has become inevitable, and it will definitely compete with the United States for interests in the Pacific. This is why the United States agreed to annex Hawaii to the United States.  At the same time, it is also the reason why the United States actively supports the confrontation between Japan and China.

    "Okay, Minister, everything is in the interest of the United States. I can temporarily forgive those Japanese dwarfs." Sandford?  Dole said.

    "By the way, Chinese, there's nothing unusual about the Chinese on the island, right?" John?  Stevens asked.

    "No, those Chinese are very honest. They are hard-working, can endure long hours of work, and are as obedient as little lambs. It is already difficult to find a labor force as obedient as them. If those Japanese dwarfs are also obedient like this, then it will be  What a wonderful thing it is!" Sandford?  Dole said.

    "Okay, but we can't be careless and must ensure a smooth transition during this period!" John, the U.S. Minister to Hawaii?  Stevens reminded again that he always felt something was wrong, but he didn't know the specific reason.

    Outside the Presidential Palace, on the roof of a large house opposite the Presidential Palace, several black figures are lying on the roof. In their hands, they hold China's latest Type 97 sniper rifles, aiming at the gate of the Presidential Palace.  .  These people are soldiers from China's special forces "Blade".  This time, in order to cooperate with the operation in Hawaii, a squadron of "Blades" quietly boarded the XiamenWeiyi, guarding outside the Presidential Palace, is a team from the "Blade".  Others went to Irani Palace to rescue Queen Liliuokalani.

    Outside Honolulu, in the Chen family¡¯s sugar cane plantation, soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps are ready. When the signal is sent, they will launch an attack.

    ??Child Marshal Charles of the Kingdom of Hawaii?  B?  Wilson was looking at the equipment of the Chinese Marine Corps soldiers with envy. Rifles, pistols, bayonets, grenades, heavy machine guns, and mortars. These sophisticated equipment made him envious.  If they had had such equipment, they would not have been seized of power.

    "Mr. Huang, can our Kingdom of Hawaii purchase a batch of weapons from China?" Charles?  B?  Wilson asked.  This time, he also selected more than 200 Hawaiians loyal to the Hawaiian royal family.  However, they had no weapons and only held some farm tools in their hands.

    "Of course there is no problem! After the coup is successful, we can provide the Kingdom of Hawaii with a batch of weapons at the best price, and if you need it, we can provide you with a batch of military instructors!" Huang Zhiming said with a smile.  He was in a very anxious mood now and kept looking at the watch in his hand.  The scheduled time for launching the coup is 9 pm, which is still ten minutes away from now.

    "That would be great!" Charles?  B?  Wilson said excitedly.  After seeing the equipment of the Chinese Marine Corps and the demeanor of the soldiers, he had no doubt that they would win tonight.

    The Chen family on Bell Street was also very nervous. They knew that the people sent by China would launch an action tonight. Although they had great confidence in the people sent by China, there were still some concerns when the incident came to pass.  Worry.  If it succeeds and the Kingdom of Hawaii becomes a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, then good times will come for the Chinese people in the Kingdom of Hawaii, and the Chen family will also prosper.

    Outside the Irani Palace, three squads of soldiers from the "Blade" force, led by squadron leader Liu Jianming, were ambushing outside the palace.

    "The first team pays attention to the main entrance. The second team goes over the wall and must rescue Queen Liliuokalani as quickly as possible and ensure her safety. The third team provides us with cover!" Liu Jianming ordered.

    "Yes, squadron leader!" all three team leaders replied.

    "Okay, let's take action!" Liu Jianming gave the order.

    Immediately, the three teams took action immediately.  The first team used the trees and buildings outside the palace to stay alert to the direction of the palace gate. The second team directly climbed over the wall and entered the palace, and followed the map they obtained in advance, heading towards the palace where Queen Liliuokalani lived. The third team  is responsible for covering.

    There are hundreds of people sent by the Republic of Hawaii to guard Irani Palace.  However, since the Hawaiian riots were quelled in 1895, no one has dared to attack the Irani Palace, which made them relax.  In addition, Hawaii is about to be annexed to the United States, which makes them even more relieved.

    After the second team of "Blade" soldiers entered the Irani Palace, they successfully evaded the guards with the help of the terrain and construction, and quickly approached the palace where Queen Liliuokalani lived. Along the way, they only stopped when they couldn't avoid it.  , they will use daggers to kill those guards.

    In less than ten minutes, they approached the palace where the queen lived.  Then, the captain of the second team entered the palace.

    "Who are you?" Queen Liliuokalani was a little frightened when she saw the captain of the second team with his face covered in colorful oil paint.

    "Her Majesty the Queen, it was Mr. Huang who sent us to rescue you! I will take you out of here now." said the captain of the second team.

    "Okay!" Queen Liliuokalani couldn't help but let down her guard when she heard that it was someone sent by Huang Zhiming.

    "Who, who is there!" Just when they had just walked out of the palace, a guard suddenly appeared from the corner. After seeing the captain of the second team and Queen Liliuokalani, he immediately shouted.

    "Bang!" The gun rang out and the guard was killed.  But this woke the other guards.

    "Bang, bang, bang!" The other two teams of "Sharp Blade" soldiers outside also launched an attack immediately. The guards guarding the gate of Irani Palace suffered heavy casualties immediately.

    "Change the battle plan! Everyone enter the Irani Palace to protect the queen's safety and kill these guards as much as possible!" Liu Jianming had to change the battle plan.

    Immediately, the "Blade" soldiers invaded the Irani Palace and quickly rushed towards the palace where the queen lived. The second team also sent the queen into the palace again, and met with the guards outside the palace.  communication?.

    After hearing the gunfire, the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Marine Brigade outside Honolulu immediately launched an attack on Honolulu.
