At present, the commander of the US military on the island of Hawaii is the commander of the entire Pacific theater, he is the former commander-in-chief of the Philippines, after Lanfang conquered the Philippines, he retreated to Hawaii, Hawaii itself is just a simple island, there is only one brigade or so of the US army, the commander-in-chief is only at the rank of colonel, when Richardson arrived in Hawaii with the remnants of the Philippine army and the US fleet, Hawaii was finally upgraded and became the largest unit of the United States in the Pacific at present.

Richardson used to have the rank of major general, the fall of the Philippines, did not reduce his rank, but also made him discouraged, after returning to Hawaii, he worked hard to reorganize the army, not only in charge of the US Pacific Fleet, but also in charge of the army, I thought that with the support of the country, counterattack Lanfang, take back the Philippines, and wash away the shame of losing the Philippines.

However, Richardson at this moment, there is no desire at all, his only idea is that when the Philippines is occupied, it would be good if he could be transferred back to China, for Lanfang, a country in Southeast Asia, he is still confident, but that is also with the support of the country, according to his estimates, at least a 600,000-ton fleet, and at least 8 capital ships.

But now, domestic support has not come, the government has declared war with China for money, this cannot be said to be short-sighted, the United States mainland is too far away from China, China is unlikely to cross the ocean, attack the United States mainland, the United States mainland is safe, but Hawaii, the closest to Southeast Asia, will become the first target of the other side to vent anger, although it is said that there are still thousands of kilometers from Southeast Asia to Hawaii, but for Hawaii, which does not have enough naval strength, it really can't stop the landing of Chinese troops.

Currently on the island of Hawaii. The U.S. military is in record numbers, and the Philippine defenders, plus the recent increase in troops, are concentrated in Hawaii, a large island of 16,000 square kilometers that is large enough to accommodate so many troops. But more than 100,000 people, what role can it have, in order to fight Russia, China has transferred millions of troops,

Although the attack has not yet begun, as far as he knows, China's vast mobilization capacity extends from the nearest position in Southeast Asia to Hawaii. That is, less than 4,000 kilometers, which is somewhat difficult for ordinary transportation, but China has been involved in the world shipping system as early as 1911, and the current tonnage of merchant ships has surpassed Britain and become the world's first. It can be seen from the recent evacuation of overseas Chinese that tens of millions of people. Say withdraw and withdraw, the United States itself is still so, let alone Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, if the Chinese fight hard, he will be finished.

He sent several reports to the country about the current difficult situation. However, the United States swears that China does not have a strong navy and does not have the ability to fight across the sea, and as the former head of the Philippine military, he even fought in the Lanfang Navy in China. This Lan Fang fleet, which had fought against the East Asian fleets of the Netherlands and Britain and France, was a relatively large fleet, although there were no capital ships, but the cruisers were still quite powerful, and if they came, he would have nothing to resist with empty teeth.

Hawaii is a good port, in Richardson's view, even a natural harbor, the largest Hawaii Island, a full 10,000 square kilometers of land, as long as it is used reasonably, as a military fortress is OK, but what is the use, the United States does not pay attention to it, he said that he is the commander of the Pacific Ocean, the current Pacific Fleet, only 2 10,000 tons of cruisers and 4 6,000 tons of old cruisers, as well as a dozen other small ships, the total tonnage does not exceed 170,000 tons, Most of them are small boats or old ships, which can be used to deal with weak countries, but against China, I'm afraid it really can't work.

Richardson has asked for countless domestic orders, either to support, it must be a real capital ship, at least a few former dreadnoughts, but unfortunately it has been refused, the capital ships of the United States have gone to support Britain, and the rest, on the mainland, it is impossible to come here, at most agree with him, among the first batch of battleships launched, 2 ships will be allocated to the Pacific Fleet, but according to the plan, it will be a long time later.

Although the speed of construction in the United States is fast, the fastest battleship to be launched will not be until May 1916, plus sea trials and the installation of some weapons, to enter the navy, at least until the end of 16 years, the Chinese cannot always wait for that moment, then for them, in a year-long time, to resist the crazy attack of the Chinese.

Although Hawaii is the newest territory of the United States, and it has not been long since it joined the United States, it is an important pillar of the United States in the Pacific.

Hawaii is a small place, with a total area of 16,000 square kilometers, for the United States of more than 9 million square kilometers, it is just a small place, but it is not backward, there is no output of the island, he is not only an important location, but also rich in resources, Hawaii's sugar production, occupies a considerable proportion of the world's sugar production, is an important economic resource in Hawaii.

Sugar has always been the world's main cash crop, especially sucrose, the yield is far higher than the yield of other sugar, in the tropics, suitable places, the yield of one acre of sugarcane per mu even exceeds 10,000 catties, remove the water and dregs, can also produce hundreds of catties of sugar, in the yield of high and low yield of the place, the gap is obvious, this is also the fundamental reason why Hawaii can occupy a considerable proportion of the world, he is one of the most suitable places in the world to grow sugarcane, even if you don't have to care, the output is also very huge.

Hawaii as early as more than 100 years ago, is the traditional sugarcane production area, because of the sugarcane and the lucrative income, so that he attracted the attention of the United States and Japan, the United States and Japan have immigrated a large number of immigrants, in the middle, Japan because of its proximity to Hawaii and occupy a considerable upper hand, but the United States is more ruthless, he is one step ahead of Japan, directly armed to solve the then Hawaiian Queen, a small country located in the center of the Pacific Ocean, indisputable in the world, so swallowed by the Americans, The United States has gained such a place of great gains.

In fact, since joining the United States, Hawaii's sugar production has increased significantly, after all, it was only managed by the natives before, even if sugar production is a huge pillar, they have not studied too much, relying on the sky to eat, the United States is an industrial country, in the field of agriculture, it is also one of the most powerful countries in the world, after certain improvements and scientific planting, Hawaii's sugar production has increased by more than 50% compared to before, which is a huge production of Hawaii sugar industry, It's a huge boost.

Because of this, for a long time, Hawaii was only an economic center in the eyes of Americans, and its sugar production accounted for more than 60% of the world's total production every year, which is at least 500 million, or even 1 billion US dollars, annual income.

Even if the United States is the world's largest industrial country, the annual income is very huge, Hawaii's output is also considerable, after all, unlike the Philippines, this uncivilized region, the United States occupied the Philippines late, and the Philippines was not well developed in the hands of Spain before.

Especially after the fall of the Philippines, the Americans set their sights on Hawaii, no matter what, the United States must have a fulcrum in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii's island is a natural deep-water harbor, and the area of the island is also sufficient, in this case, it has become a natural choice for the US military base.

The United States also has plans to develop Hawaii on a large scale, so that Hawaii can truly become the support of the United States in the Pacific, but it has only been less than two years, and the United States does not have the ability to turn decay into a magical construction like China, and it is simply impossible to turn Hawaii into a fortress, plus the European war has affected the energy of the United States. It is even more impossible to interfere with Hawaii, and all ideas must be put in a few years.

At present, it is only a traditional commercial port, a military port is still under construction, and even land-based artillery is in production, which belongs to the defense force on paper. The cards in Richardson's hand, I don't know how much to count, there has not been much way, he can only rely on his own strength as much as possible, increase Hawaii's defense, prevent when the Chinese come over, caught off guard, but this is not a good way to solve the problem, passive resistance can not solve many problems, at most his psychological comfort, he put more mind on China.

He doesn't know how China will react, but once China wants to make a move against Hawaii, it will definitely be a large-scale mobilization of troops, loading ships from the sea, Hawaii is a place where tens of thousands of troops will not play much role at all, as long as you pay more attention, you should not be able to hide this.

After a long period of panic, there was no movement on the Chinese side, and just when Richardson felt that he had escaped such a catastrophe, he got bad news from his channel, that China had concentrated at least hundreds of thousands of troops, transported by merchant ships, and escorted by a large number of warships, and set off.
