Chapter 144: Target—Pacific Fleet (I)
The declaration of Wang Hengyue, president of the Republic of China, shook the United States and the whole world
And the squadron has also begun to fulfill their oath of the president!
The planes continued to bomb London and other places, again and again, never knowing fatigue. Asia, under the leadership of China, is also fully engaged in this war.
Victory will bring everything to the victorious country.
The day after the presidential proclamation, Japanese President Masahiro Suzuki led Japan in declaring war on the United States, on Britain, and on all the Allied powers.
At the same time, in the name of revolution, Masahiro Suzuki announced that Japan would send no less than 300,000 people to China from August to October 1943, and that this number would reach 800,000 to 1 million by January 1944.
And it was also inspired by President Wang Hengyue's declaration, the defenders of Sicily also burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, and the already precarious situation was miraculously changed.
The Chinese side demanded that the defenders of Sicily hold out at least until the end of August, to buy enough time for the large reinforcement of the squadron.
The Italians are not to be trusted, but you can trust the Germans in their bravery. Without the containment of Red Russia, the Germans could devote all their energies to fighting against the Allies.
At this point, controlling the sea becomes a crucial point.
In July 1943, the Sino-American naval war finally broke out.
Before the outbreak of the naval war, some changes were taking place in the U.S.-controlled Hawaiian Islands. In terms of history and justice, Hawaii has nothing to do with the United States, and even Hawaii used to be a ** country.
Hawaii originally belonged to Queen Liliukalani.
Born into a royal family, Queen Liliukalani was born on September 16, 1862 to the American John Brown. Ao Yun. Dominiget married, but had no children. Since she had no children, she chose her niece, Victoria. Caorani was the heir, but sadly Vidonia died in 1899.
Queen Liliucarani succeeded her brother Kalakaua on 17 January 1891. In August of the same year, her husband Dominis died. After ascending to the throne, she was determined to revise the constitution, because the existing bayonet constitution planned by the Americans limited her powers. Unfortunately, Hawaii was largely controlled by the Americans, and reforms were difficult to implement. After a brief reign of less than three years, Queen Liliukalani was overthrown in 1893 and the Americans established the Republic of Hawaii the following year. But until the 90s of the 19th century, the Kingdom of Hawaii existed as a monarchy and was recognized by the United States, Britain, France, Japan and Germany.
However, as the history of the kingdom evolved, Hawaii's monarchy was gradually threatened, but this threat was not until 1887 when King David Brown. It was only after Karakaiva was forced to sign the "bayonet constitution" that it began to be taken seriously by the royal family. On January 14, 1893, Queen Lily unsuccessfully attempted to promulgate her new constitution, which eventually became the trigger for a coup d'état. On the same day, the opponents met and determined the ultimate goal of the action: to depose the queen, overthrow the monarchy, and seek the support and even integration of the United States.
Immediately afterward, they took a series of actions, including the establishment of a safety committee. On January 16, Hawaii Marshal Charles Brown. B. Wilson was given information about the coup. Wilson requested the arrest of 13 members of the Opponents Security Council and the issuance of martial law throughout the country. But because the members of the Security Council have been in close proximity to U.S. Secretary of State George W. L. Stephens' request for arrest was rejected by the top judges and cabinet members because they believed that his arrest would lead to further escalation.
Wilson then failed to negotiate with opposition leader Thurston, so Wilson began to recruit supporters to confront the opposition. Eventually, they gathered 496 people, ready to keep the queen safe at all times. On January 17, a police officer was banned from entering the Honolulu Rifles due to a horse-drawn cart loaded with weapons. Thurston was shot and wounded in a team under the Security Council, thus kicking off the coup. The Committee of Security was concerned that the shooting would expose their tracks, and that the Royal Government would take armed action to put the coup plan in its infancy, so the Committee initiated the coup. They organized about 1,500 heavily armed soldiers of the Honolulu Rifles to march towards the palace. …,
Eventually, these non-Aboriginal soldiers were stationed at the Ariolani Palace, just one street from the Royal Palace, and waited for the Queen's reply!
At the same time, the Commission submitted a report to the US Secretary of State, George W. L. Stephens asked for help and asked for U.S. troops to land in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, to ensure the safety of the lives and property of ordinary American residents who were not combat-ready. Eventually, Stephens summoned a company of armed naval forces and two companies of sailors to Xiayi, and the 162 men landed on 16 January. Although the troops were well-equipped but always maintained a relatively neutral position, they did not enter the palace, they did not actually participate in the coup, they did not occupy any territory, and they did not even fire a single shot, but their presence did inspire the local Americans and add a lot of pressure to the Hawaiian royal family.
Eventually, under the Queen's motto of "avoiding bloodshed", and with the strong advice of her cronies and ministers, Queen Liliouoklani surrendered. The Honolulu Rifles seized the government building, disbanded the Royal Guard, and proclaimed a provisional government. The coup d'état of 1893 was victorious, and the Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown. In 1895, Hawaiians, who supported the Queen, led by Wilcox, plotted an uprising, which failed. Nearly 200 people were sentenced to heavy prison terms. Unbeknownst to her, the queen was also sentenced to five years of hard labour and fined $5,000.
Because of the strong reaction and outrage of the Hawaiians, the authorities feared another uprising, so the punishment was reduced. After the United States took Hawaii, its strategic position in the Far East and the Pacific became extremely advantageous, and a new era of struggle for hegemony in the Far East and the Pacific began.
The Hawaiian sovereignty movement is still ongoing.
Many true Hawaiians, who and their descendants have always fought for Hawaii's democratic sovereignty**, and they refuse to recognize American rule, and a **Hawaii is an undying dream in the hearts of many of them.
The world war brought them opportunities, especially after the bad relations between China and the United States, and the declaration of war on each other, and gave them hope of restoring Hawaii's sovereignty.
The Chinese are fully supportive of Hawaii**, and they have done a lot of work for this.
"A sovereign Hawaii will make countless contributions to peace in the Far East and the world." In 1942, he met with the leader of the Hawaiian Restoration Movement, Asano Asano Brown. Davis. At the time of Sadongde, Wang Hengyue, the president of the Republic of China, said: "In order to restore Hawaii's **, China will exert its due strength to support your righteous actions." ”
With the support of the Chinese, then everything is easy to do.
On June 28, 1943, Asano. Davis. In Nanjing, the capital of China, Sadond and his followers proclaimed the establishment of the "Provisional Government of the Kingdom of Hawaii" in Nanjing, the capital of China, and Sadond himself served as "Chairman of the Acting Regency Committee of the Kingdom of Hawaii" and "Acting Minister of the Interior of the Kingdom of Hawaii."
This is a historic time, which means that the theft of Hawaii by the United States is completely unjustifiable and illegal.
On the day the "Provisional Government of the Kingdom of Hawaii" was established, it was recognized by China, Germany, Italy, and Russia.
Now, the Chinese can wholeheartedly compete with the Americans for hegemony in the Pacific
This is a combined fleet of China, Russia, Ukraine and other countries. Although Russia is divided into dozens of countries, large and small, their navy, once united under the leadership of the Chinese, is still quite combat-effective.
Before the expedition, President Wang Hengyue specially inspected his fleet, and when facing the Chinese naval officers, Wang Hengyue said an intriguing sentence:
"Boys, let's go on vacation to Hawaii!"
This sentence attracted a lot of jubilation, and "let's go on vacation to Hawaii" became a popular mantra among Chinese naval officers and soldiers. …,
Of course, it is easy to say, but in the face of the upcoming naval war, the senior officers of the Chinese Navy do not dare to be careless.
This is a war with all its might, which is not only about the ownership of maritime supremacy, but will even determine the final course of the world war. Whoever loses this naval battle is likely to lose this war.
At least for now, the German Navy will not be able to help!
However, President Wang Hengyue cheered for his subordinates in his own way, telling these officers who had defeated the Japanese Navy and the British Navy:
"Don't be afraid to lose anything, because we have the capital to lose, we own most of Asia, and we will soon have all of Asia, and the war has been going on so far, we still have the most abundant resources, we haven't even used our real strength, even if we lose this naval battle, we can do it a second time."
This is a kind of commitment and encouragement, there is no exaggeration in Wang Hengyue's words, he has enough capital to carry out a big war of attrition, enough capital to meet defeat, and enough capital to win this war.
Wang Hengyue is even more convinced that the navy that he has spent a lot of effort to build will not let himself down!
