America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 505
Thurston came out of the palace.

There were already a bunch of long guns and short cannons pointing at him outside the yard.

Although the equipment of the Long Gun Club and the Hawaiian police was messy and outdated, there were a large number of them, and it was a "black crowd".

Not only is there a large number of people, but the skin color is also dark, which brings a sense of oppression in the visual sense.

"The queen has been taken away by the Japanese! We didn't do it!"

Thurston cleared his throat and shouted out of the yard.

"Thurston! Don't think that I don't know what you are planning all day long! You can hide your affairs from the Queen and that idiot Kasaba who talks big all the time! But you can't fool me!"

The captain with his hips akimbo yelled at Thurston furiously.

"I just said why someone came to pour me wine last night!"

"If it wasn't for you, why would you, a commoner businessman, bring a bunch of militiamen to the palace, and even arrive ahead of us! When we called up the manpower, why were so many members of the Long Spear Club unwilling to come?"

The police chief next to him discovered a problematic blind spot.

Thurston was at a loss for words.

His silence made the captain of the guard and the police chief more certain of their guess:
Thurston is rebelling!

This point cannot be escaped, even if they have nothing to do with the Japanese, these people are also traitors!

The captain of the guard and the chief of police began to discuss intensively.

They disagreed a little.

The captain of the guard cared about the queen, and felt that since Her Majesty the Queen was not in the palace, he should first go to the Japanese to save the queen and princess and prevent them from suffering;
The chief of police thinks that the group of people entrenched in the palace is not a good thing. Since they are all surrounded and have an absolute advantage in numbers, it is better to take down the palace in one go, clean up the gang of thieves, and then go to the Japanese to settle accounts .

The two couldn't stop arguing, and finally came up with a compromise plan;

The chief of police first led the police to surround the people here, and the captain of the guard led the soldiers of the Long Spear Club to attack Masao Kameda and rescue the queen.

"I'll give you a chance to put down the weapons in your hands and surrender. We won't take the blame for the coup d'etat!" After the captain of the guard led the people away, the chief of police patted his belly and shouted in the direction of the palace.

His voice echoed across the lush lawn.

No one answered.

Because Thurston was also retreating into the palace to discuss countermeasures with others.

Thurston's original plan was to capture the palace, hold the queen hostage, and then force the outside gang to submit.

As long as the queen is in his hands and playing politics, the gang of wretches in the Kingdom of Hawaii are no match for him.

But now Masao Kameda took the first step and snatched the queen away, but he led the people into the pit instead.

What kind of change is this policy?Not particular, too careless.

In the kingdom's political hall on the first floor, Thurston sat where the queen usually sat, frowning.

"I said earlier that if we call on Chen Jianqiu, our chances of winning will be much higher." Dole looked at Thurston sideways with his pipe in his mouth.

He was sitting in his usual seat, but he was quite dissatisfied with Thurston sitting in the Queen's seat.

What are you Thurston, you are just a commoner, relying on your good relationship with the American Ambassador Stevenson, you became the president of the Hawaiian People's League.

The matter of the coup has not been explained yet, and he has become the leader of himself?

"Dur, believe me, we can still win without Chen Jianqiu! The rebel members of the Hawaiian Lance Club are already on their way, and they will help us." Thurston said to Doer patiently and firmly.

"Go to hell!" Dole couldn't bear it any longer, and threw his pipe on the table. "I know the nobles of the Long Spear Society better than you! They are watching a show! Whoever wins they support whoever wins."

He stared hard at Thurston; "If we fail, believe me, they'll be happy to raise their hands and sentence us to death at the Judgment Assembly!"

Except for the two of them, everyone else in the chamber looked at each other in blank dismay.

How did these two get into a fight?
Thurston couldn't help it either, and he jumped up against the case: "I said yes, then I will definitely do it, you just sit here and watch how I lead people to break through!"

After all, he took the gun from a militiaman beside him and walked out quickly.

Although Thurston's previous main job was a lawyer, he spent some time in Utah.

However, since lawyers were often not needed to solve problems in the west at that time, they would choose to solve them in a more direct way, so in order not to lose their jobs, Thurston's marksmanship was also okay.

He led a group of militiamen to the broken French windows of the palace.

"Find a suitable position for each!" Thurston leaned against the window and ordered. At the same time, he raised the Winchester repeating rifle in his hand and aimed at the portly sheriff chief.

I came here for a coup, not for a joke.

The rifle in his hand is not a fire stick, and the white militiamen around him are also ruthless characters.

Thurston thought out of nowhere a saying he had heard among the Chinese in Hawaii;
Without him, butcher Chen, would he have to eat hairy pigs?
He didn't believe this evil, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The police chief, who was fanning himself with his hat, suddenly found that the hat in his hand was missing a brim.

He looked around blankly, but was pushed to the ground by the subordinate next to him.

The gunshots "cracked" and the bullets whizzed past.

Only then did the police chief who was lying on the ground react.

The other side started attacking them.

If it wasn't for the opponent's mistake just now and the subordinate's quick response, I'm afraid I have to confess here!

"Fight back! Fight back!" The chief of police shouted as he struggled with his dark and fat body rubbing against the ground.

Shooting began at each other inside and outside the palace.

The bullets left little craters on the white outer wall of the palace, and the remaining window panes that were not broken before were also shattered.

Although there are a large number of police officers in Hawaii, their overall training level is relatively low, and their positions are clearly visible; in comparison, the combat effectiveness of the coup team is much stronger.

Many of these white militiamen came by boat from the western United States, and they were influenced by guns since childhood.

Their marksmanship is much better than these native policemen.

But on the whole, the hit rate on both sides of this battle is very worrying. Most of the unlucky ones who were injured or killed were hit by stray bullets.

The discipline on both sides is also very poor, and there is basically no coordination and tactics at all.

The police force of the Honolulu Police Department was demoralized after more than forty people were killed and injured.

They begin to automatically retreat out of combat.

As for the white militiamen on Thurston's side, some people rushed out of the palace to press forward from time to time, so the casualties were actually not much different from those of the police force, a little less.

But after this group of people saw hope, they became more and more excited.

"Hey, don't run away! Come back and fight! For the Queen! Hey"

The fat police chief couldn't stop him no matter what.

As the saying goes, an army is defeated like a mountain.

This one took a police force of more than 300 people, which looked huge at first, and quickly disappeared.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the chief of police got up from the ground and prepared to run.

Who knew a ricochet hit his ass,

The chief of police felt like he had been bitten by a bug in his fat butt muscles.

Then fell to the ground again.

"Come on! Break through!" Thurston, who had won the battle, was as excited as a monkey, waving the gun in his hand desperately.

He rushed out of the palace with his coup d'état troops, and killed the Japanese residence.

However, he is not going to save the queen, but intends to let the queen die.
