America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 499 The Convergence of the Coup Plan

Masao Kameda's behavior startled Chen Jianqiu.

He originally thought that the old tortoise sent Haruma Yamamoto away to let him go out to call for help or heal the burn on his hand.

It turned out that he didn't want his subordinates to see what he did next.

A rough-skinned and thick-skinned person who co-authored Kameda felt that this behavior was shameful.

Chen Jianqiu didn't say anything, just raised his legs and tapped the edge of the table with his fingers.

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

Chen Jianqiu poured him another cup of tea.

"Chen Sang, in fact, it was not my intention to attack Chinatown. The goal of Xuanyangsha is the whole of Honolulu and even Hawaii." Masao Kameda said openly.

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

Chen Jianqiu laughed inwardly.

Masao Kameda's reason was too far-fetched, half of what he said was true and half was false.

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

"Chen Sang! You also know that since Queen Liliuokanila came to the throne and demanded to change the constitution, the 'Hawaiian People's League' headed by Thurston has been preparing for a coup d'état, which has almost become the most open secret in this island country !"

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

"At that time, no matter whether it is Japanese or Chinese, there will be no place for them to gain a foothold in Hawaii!"

Kameda Masao made a penetrating analysis in a sleepy tone.

He looked at Chen Jianqiu:
"Chen Sang, we are all 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 combination of Japanese and Chinese accounts for [-]% 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 agitated.

"I will compensate you twice as much as you wish for the losses caused in the battle in Chinatown. As long as our coup d'etat succeeds, whether we form a coalition government or divide it up among ourselves, I can make concessions!"

"If you and I join hands, we will surely succeed!"

After Masao Kameda finished speaking, he stood up again and bowed at ninety degrees again:
"Chen Sang! Please!"

Chen Jianqiu raised his eyebrows:

"How do you plan to seize power?"

"Rush into the palace in Honolulu, kidnap the queen, control the cabinet, force her to dissolve the cabinet, and abdicate!" Masao Kameda showed a fierce look, "The only armed force in her hands, the 'Honolulu Lance Society' is not your soldiers and my samurai opponent."

"Whether the United States or Britain and France choose to interfere?" Chen Jianqiu narrowed his eyes and asked.

"The emperor and the imperial cabinet may have doubts about an uncertain place, but they will never allow a piece of land that has become the Great Japanese Empire to be taken away again!" Masao Kameda said word by word, with a firm expression And perseverance.

"You want to take a gamble?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

Kameda Masao nodded: "Yes, take a gamble!"

After hearing Masao Kameda's confided ideas, Chen Jianqiu was quite shocked.

This grandson's heart is too big!

He and his descendants' way of doing things are almost in the same line.

The subordinates commit crimes, and use adventurous military actions to bind the superiors with themselves.

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

Decades later, there are a bunch of Japanese doing similar things in the same place.

Fancy gambling on national luck, success or failure is a one-shot deal.

He couldn't even take down Chinatown, but now he wants to use his own strength to bet a bigger one to come back.

Want to eat fart?

But Chen Jianqiu did not refuse on the spot.

His face was still as calm as water, and he couldn't see any actual thoughts in his heart:
"You are right, you can give it a try, and we can discuss the details of the cooperation later."

Since Hawaii is going to be chaotic, let's make it even more chaotic.

Only in muddy water can we fish.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Honolulu, in the offices of the People's League of Hawaii.

Another unstable element in Hawaii, Mr. Thurston, is in an emergency meeting with his top lieutenants.

Founded in 1887, the Hawaiian People's League is 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 do it quickly! If we delay like this, that bitch will pick us up one by one." An old man with a white beard banged his pipe on the table violently, making a "boom boom" Boom" sound.

He is one of the oldest members of the Hawaiian People's League and a sugar cane owner.

And the "bitch" in his mouth naturally refers to the new queen, Queen Li Liuao Canila.

Unlike her cowardly and incompetent brother, she has a group of indigenous fans, which is why the queen dared to move the constitution.

"Then what's your opinion?" Thurston was not in a hurry to get angry. He sat down on the table, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at the old man with white beard.

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

The plan of the white-bearded old man and Masao Kameda can really be called "the 'hero' sees the same thing", I really don't know if the two people will feel a sense of sympathy if they face each other.

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

"So, it was our best chance at that time! As for the sick guy Kalakaua, even if he killed him with a sneak shot, no one would be surprised!" Another white man in overalls added.

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

There was a moment of silence in the league.

The armed force they can organize now is only a few hundred untrained white militiamen, and at most they will hire some Chinese and Japanese to make up for it temporarily.

Based on these, how can they compete with the more than 1000 Hawaiian spear soldiers? !

Isn't that a gamble?Bet your life?
"If you want me to tell you, I still have to trouble you, Mr. Stevenson, and ask him to ask Washington for help." The white-bearded old man smoked his pipe again, and said with a crooked mouth.

"Okay, I'll contact Stevenson." Thurston made a decisive and straightforward decision.

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

Besides, Ambassador Stevenson has been very supportive of him.

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

People like myself have done their best for America!It is also in line with the consistent interests of the United States!It's their own favor, why don't they help? !

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

Stevenson faltered and hawed rarely, talking about him left and right.

But Thurston was not so easy to fool.

He tried to ask what happened by repeating the routine over and over again.

In the end, the ambassador told the truth:
President Cleveland did not support the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
