Chapter 89 Hawaii Part 2: The Tyrant and the Vast Sea

What King Hawaiian Sea did next was indeed quite a laughable turn of events.

As the newly elected king, chosen by the people of the nation, the first thing he did was...

The first thing he did was announce that his fishing group would be merged with the Hawaiian Navy to form the First Hawaiian Army.

Besides protecting Hawaii, the legion's most important duty was to go out to sea to fish.

They also purchase the latest warships from European countries to maintain national security and for fishing.

It just so happens that we are currently in a period of global economic downturn, and countries around the world are trying to recover their losses, so Hawaii has actually managed to buy several warships.

Besides merging the navy into a fishing corps, the new king, Canghai, took his second major step upon taking office to Hawaii, an undeveloped land.

He sold himself large tracts of undeveloped land as king, and then hired unemployed people on the island to help him cultivate the land.

At the same time, we cooperated with Changshun Ocean Group, which helped recruit laborers and willing Chinese people from China to cultivate the land.

The new king's third act upon taking office was to directly address the demands of the Hawaiian people, just as he had said during his campaign for the throne: he wanted to develop a volcano park.

Furthermore, he entrusted the development of the volcano park to Li Changsheng, the president of the International Environmental Protection Association. Li Changsheng specifically selected a president from Hawaii to be in charge of the volcano development.

For a time, the entire island of Hawaii was bustling with activity.

Explosions could be heard from the surrounding fishing grounds from time to time, as large catches of fish were brought back.

Meanwhile, the First Army Corps of Hawaii employed a large number of local women to process the fish at its affiliated factories.

Those who had nothing else to do either developed the volcanic island or cleared land for farming.

Some foreigners, who were temporarily unemployed, even joined in the land reclamation and construction of the volcano park.

Finally, the new king looked at the 3000 Hawaiian Army soldiers who were still relatively uninvolved.

They also bought up some land in Hawaii, then had the army help clear the land and cultivate it, paying them double wages.

For the Hawaii Army, whose salaries were already low, this double pay meant they were paid significantly more than others, so they naturally worked very hard.

The last and most ruthless thing the new king did was to eliminate his political opponents.

After gaining control of all the military and most of the Hawaiian population, the new king finally turned his attention to the former king and the Hawaiian ministers.

When Canghai invited representatives of local Hawaiian forces to a dinner party, he arrested them all.

At the same time, citing their alleged disruption of Hawaii's unity and stability, the homes of most of them were raided.

Furthermore, a large amount of evidence of betrayal of Hawaii was collected from the homes of these individuals.

However, after making this evidence public, he spoke loudly in front of thousands of people.

"Although what they did was wrong, at least no one in Hawaii starved to death because of it, and too many people were not treated unfairly."

"They harmed the interests of the country, but the damage to their personal interests was not too great."

"Most importantly, because of their actions, I became the new king of Hawaii, and I was able to change everything in Hawaii."

"If I were to execute them directly, it would inevitably make me seem too heartless."

"So I decided not to kill them."

"I even allowed them to immigrate from Hawaii to other countries."

"Of course, if they don't want to leave, I don't mind taking action against them, since their presence affects the unity and cohesion of Hawaii."

"In order for the Hawaiians to live better lives, they only have two outcomes: either die or leave."

"The choice is now in their hands."

Since the clone Canghai has said so, unless these people are fools, none of them would choose to stay.

Therefore, high-ranking officials in Hawaii have expressed their willingness to immigrate abroad.

Changshun Ocean Shipping Company accepted the order and sent these people directly to the Far East.

Although the clone was willing to give them a chance, it also didn't want to tolerate America finding an opportunity to return with the King of Hawaii and overthrow him.

So he sent the person directly to the Far East, so that even if someone wanted to use this as a reason to overthrow him, they would have to go to the Far East to pick them up first.

Of course, this doesn't mean the clone didn't want to destroy the Hawaiian royalty.

The main reason is that many of these people's descendants have studied abroad in the United States and Europe.

If these people are wiped out, European and American countries can use their descendants as a pretext to take action against us.

Sending the person to the Far East and having other clones keep an eye on them is currently the best option.

Once the main body obtains TNT, and our side grows stronger, these people will pose no threat whatsoever.

His actions were naturally relayed back to their home countries by other national representatives and consuls in Hawaii.

If King Canghai were from another country, there might be some issues, but King Canghai is a native of Hawaii.

Everyone can see that what is happening now is nothing more than a change of power.

It was just a ploy by him to take control of Hawaii and drive out the old king and nobles.

Furthermore, King Canghai's actions were entirely driven by self-interest, so when the news reached the United States, the American official in charge of Hawaiian affairs glanced at it and laughed.

"It seems our plan was a success."

"It's just that this happened a bit suddenly, otherwise we could have made preparations in advance."

"I never imagined that when we spread Western culture to Hawaii, Hawaii would learn about electoral systems instead."

"If the King of Hawaii had announced the election earlier, they would have already arranged for their own people, and then the Kingdom of Hawaii would have been our territory."

"It's a pity we weren't prepared in advance, and this guy named Canghai got the advantage."

"But that's nothing, King Canghai is quite a ruthless person."

"They actually went to this extent for their own benefit."

"Such a tyrannical ruler is actually more beneficial to us."

"Let our people contact this new king. If he is willing to hand over the ports of Hawaii to us and not lease the ports and lands of Hawaii to any other country, we will allow them to export sugar to the United States on the most favorable terms."

"If you don't agree, let their sugar rot in Hawaii."

"Anyway, this new king is a tyrant. As long as he can make money, I believe he will definitely choose to cooperate with us."

"If he agrees, we can give him a little more benefit."

Similarly, news of Hawaii's change of ownership reached the French Empire.
