Unlike Yang Wenhua, the Imperial Minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii as a diplomat, Major General Liu Xu was a soldier. Compared to diplomats, military personnel are a little tougher. Therefore, after learning that those unscrupulous American businessmen had taken refuge in the legation, Major General Liu Xu's first reaction was to go to the U.S. legation to ask the U.S. legation to hand over those American businessmen. Otherwise, he would have taken extreme measures.

At this moment, the U.S. Legation was surrounded by troops of a company of Imperial Marines, and the twenty or thirty guards in the legation were staring nervously outside. These guards only have rifles and pistols and other weapons, and they have no heavy weapons at all, and if the Chinese* army outside launches an attack, they will absolutely not be able to resist it. However, according to international law, an embassy is the territory of a country, and if an attack is launched against an embassy, it is a declaration of war against a country. It is precisely because of this that these guards have the courage to continue to confront the Chinese* army.

Of course, the Chinese Empire, a country considered a barbarian country by the West, will they follow international law? No one can guarantee this. Even Kent, the U.S. minister to Hawaii, was a little worried. China's unscrupulous attack on a sovereign country simply subverts the perception of Americans. If it weren't for these, the United States would have sent troops to annex the Kingdom of Hawaii a long time ago, where would it be the turn of the Chinese Empire! Right now. The Chinese Empire occupied Hawaii, which was an absolute threat to the United States.

"Your Excellency, Minister. We cannot sit idly by and watch the Chinese occupy Hawaii. Hawaii is too close to the west coast of the United States for the Chinese to pose a threat to us from here. We must convince the country to send troops to take Hawaii back. Pastor Richards said with an angry look on his face. As an advisor to the Hawaiian Kingdom, he has made a lot of money over the years. Now, the Kingdom of Hawaii has been destroyed by the Chinese Empire, which completely cuts off his financial route! In addition, he used to rely on the support of the United States and bullied many Chinese. He also insulted the Chinese Empire. The Chinese will definitely not let him go, which makes him very worried.

"Pastor, I know. But. Now that the Chinese have surrounded the legation, I can't deliver news to the country at all! Minister Kent said worriedly. The Chinese* troops outside the legation set up heavy machine guns and mortars, posing a great threat to the Americans inside the embassy. If it weren't for his repeated assurances that the Chinese* army would not attack the embassy. It's just to intimidate them. That's what allowed the guards to stick to their posts. Otherwise, these guards will certainly not continue to hold out when their lives are threatened.

"Your Excellency, the latest news I have received is that the Chinese have already taken control of the entire Honolulu. The Iolani Palace has been captured by the Chinese* army, and King Kamehameha III was killed in the battle. The secretary of the legation reported to the Minister of Kent.

"What? How so? His Majesty the King was actually killed. Those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, God will never forgive them. Pastor Richards cursed angrily. The fact that the Chinese* army even dared to kill the king of the Hawaiian Kingdom also made him frightened.

The face of the Minister of Kent was also very ugly. It is predictable that the Chinese* army has no scruples about capturing the whole of Honolulu. The next step would definitely be to occupy the entire Hawaiian Islands. In addition, they did not care about the impact at all and killed King Kamehameha III, which undoubtedly showed the tough attitude of the Chinese. What worries the Minister of Kent is that so many American businessmen in the Legation have unclean hands and feet. Judging by the tough attitude of the Chinese, they will certainly not let these American businessmen go. At that time, the U.S. legation will definitely clash with the Chinese* army, which will undoubtedly plunge the entire legation into a crisis. There is also this guy Richards, the Chinese also hate him to the bone, and the Chinese will definitely not let him go. Now he somewhat regretted letting these Americans hide in the legation. However, accepting asylum from American citizens was an embassy's responsibility, which left him with no choice.

"Pastor, I'm afraid the Chinese* army will attack the legation. What will you do then? Minister Kent asked.

"No, it can't be. The United States is not the Kingdom of Hawaii. We are all Americans, and the Chinese dare not do anything to us. What's more, this is the American legation, and if the Chinese dare to attack the legation, it will be a declaration of war against the United States. The Chinese will not be arrogant to such an extent. Pastor Richards stubbornly said, of course, maybe it was just that he didn't dare to admit the facts.

"I hope so, too. However, I am afraid that the situation will develop in a direction that we do not want to see. "Minister Kent was somewhat pessimistic.

At this time, the secretary of the legation came in again: "Your Excellency, the Chinese Minister Yang Wenhua is outside the door, and he has asked to see you!" ”

"Okay, I see, I'll go right away!" Minister Kent said. His expression was a little gloomy, and he knew that the last thing he wanted to happen was coming. Minister Yang Wenhua must have come this time for the sake of these American businessmen and the Reverend Richards.

"Your Excellency, we are all Americans! You have an obligation to keep us safe. Those Chinese are devils, and if we fall into their hands, we will die! Pastor Richards panicked at this time and hurriedly said.

"Pastor, I'll do my best." Minister Kent said. As U.S. minister to Hawaii, he certainly had to protect these Americans. Of course, if the Chinese ignore the provisions of international law, completely ignore the United States, and must attack these American businessmen and the Reverend Richards, then there is nothing he can do. After all, now the Chinese have mastered the whole of Honolulu. There are also Chinese warships on the sea. If he resists, I'm afraid he will pay an even greater price. Now he regrets it a little, and if he had known, he should have advised the Americans in Hawaii to restrain themselves and stop bullying those Chinese. In that case, maybe there wouldn't be what we are now. It's just that there is no regret medicine in the world, and it's too late to regret it now.

After the Minister Kent had straightened his clothes, he went downstairs to the door of the Legation. Through the iron door of the legation, he met Minister Yang Wenhua. The current Minister Yang Wenhua seems to be different from before, and the whole person is full of spirits. Yes, the Chinese* army arrived, and also captured Honolulu, and in the future annexed the entire kingdom of Hawaii. With the support of the army, Minister Yang Wenhua is naturally full of confidence.

"Minister Yang Wenhua, this is the U.S. Legation. The Chinese* army brazenly surrounded the entire legation, is this to launch an attack on us? Could it be that the Chinese Empire wanted to declare war on the United States? The Minister of Kent was the first to question.

"No, Minister Kent, how could the Chinese Empire, which is a peace-loving country, do such a thing? The reason why we sent troops to the U.S. Legation was to protect the embassy from the war, and we had good intentions! Minister Yang Wenhua said with a smile.

"Well, then I thank you on behalf of the U.S. government. Now that the battle is over, can these troops be withdrawn? Minister Kent continued.

"Minister Kent, when the situation stabilizes, they will naturally retreat, and this is also for your safety."

Minister Kent nodded, and then said, "So, Minister Yang Wenhua, what are you here for this time?" ”

"Minister Kent, according to what we have learned, there are many unscrupulous businessmen who have taken refuge in the American Legation. Those businessmen were all involved in the incident of bullying the Chinese, some of them embezzled the legitimate property of the Chinese, and some of them even had the blood of the Chinese on their hands. I hope that Your Excellency will be able to hand over those American businessmen to us. Minister Yang Wenhua said.

"No, it's absolutely impossible. They are all Americans, they are all legitimate businessmen, and I am obligated to keep them safe! Minister Kent categorically rejected Minister Yang Wenhua's desperate situation. This is where his duty lies, and if he really hands him over, how will he explain it to the US government in the future?

"Minister Kent, and the Rev. Richards, a former advisor to the Kingdom of Hawaii. He was also involved in the oppression of the Chinese, and also killed two Chinese. I solemnly beg you to hand over to us the Pastor Richards1," continued Minister Yang Wenhua, as if he had not heard the refusal of Minister Kent. It's just that his tone is getting tougher and tougher.

"Minister Yang Wenhua, this is just your words. Pastor Richards is a servant of God, he is a benevolent man, how could he do such a thing? I think you must have made a mistake. Minister Kent categorically denied Minister Yang Wenhua's accusations.

"Humph! Your Excellency, please tell him more, he is just trying to shield those guys. At this time, Major General Liu Xu walked out.

"Your Excellency, what are you going to do?" Minister Yang Wenhua asked.

"Minister Kent, hand over the man at once as we ask, or else we will start attacking!" Major General Liu Xu threatened.

"Your Excellency, you can't do this, this is the U.S. Embassy. You can't attack here. "The Minister of Kent refuses to back down!

Major General Liu Xu sneered, and then said, "Give you ten minutes, otherwise, we will attack!" ”

Under the signal of Major General Liu Xu, those soldiers were ready for battle, and the guns in their hands were already aimed at the American Legation, and the sound of bullets loading made people's scalps tingle. (To be continued......)
