Chapter 859: Landing, Capture, Repatriation
But Robert’s plan was in vain, because he found that those Americans were invited by the East Africans to be “guests”, and looked at the serious faces on Lihue Street. East African Militia, Robert could only go home feeling a little depressed.
At this time, on the sea, Rogge and his party also discovered that something was wrong.
Charles frowned and said: "Mr. Rogge, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Rogge pretended to feel the same and replied: "I also felt something strange at sea today. I just can’t remember what went wrong for a while.”
"It's a boat. In the past, although Kauai was not closely connected with several other islands, you could still see ships, but until now we haven't even seen a ship," said Charles.
Next, as we got closer and closer to Kauai, Charles' mood became worse and worse, because there were no fishing boats near Kauai today, which was too suspicious.
"Mr. Rogge, was there anything unusual on the island before you left Kauai?" Charles asked.
Rogge did not answer directly, but asked, "Abnormal? Mr. Charles, did you find something wrong?"
Charles said: "So far, we have been Not a single fishing boat was seen. This is so weird. I’m worried that something may have happened on Kauai that we don’t know about.”
Rogge said "worryingly": "I didn't find anything wrong before I left, maybe I'm overly worried."
Charles thought for a while and said: "Maybe, but considering the cuteness Given the situation on the island, even if something big happens, there shouldn’t be much danger.”
Charles believes that Hawaii, especially Kauai, is so close to Honolulu on Oahu that no one would dare to be there. Americans are doing things right under their noses.
Soon after, the ship could finally see the outline of Kauai. Although there was still no ship leaving the port, there was no big change on the shore, so Charles ordered the ship to continue towards the port of Lihue. Set off.
On the island, the East Africans naturally discovered this unexpected ship. Since the port was closed, Lihue has been unable to enter or exit, but only small boats are passing by, but the ship opposite is very large. .
The most conspicuous thing is the flag hanging on the ship, which looks similar to the British Union Jack. In 1795, King Kamehameha I unified the Hawaiian Islands and established the Kingdom of Hawaii. Because he admired the British, he voluntarily used the Union Flag. flag.
The Union Jack flag has always been the national flag of the Kingdom of Hawaii. In its previous life, this flag was also the state flag of the state of Hawaii in the United States and has been in use for more than 300 years.
So the Republic of Hawaii also follows the flag of the Kingdom of Hawaii, but East Africans naturally don’t know the details.
When I saw the flag of the Kingdom of Hawaii, I subconsciously felt guilty. After all, this was a coup and separatism on someone else's territory, but I quickly realized that it was wrong! Hasn’t the Kingdom of Hawaii been subverted by the Americans? So this should be an American ship.
Soon, after the ship docked, the thoughts of the East African officers and soldiers were further confirmed. A group of people who came down were tall and thick, with red ribbons tied around their necks. They were American militiamen from the Hawaiian Islands.
Charles also led the people ashore in a swaggering manner, but they were soon dumbfounded. After a while, a large number of people appeared from all sides of the pier and surrounded them.
“Put down your arms!”
Faced with the ferocious East African Defense Forces, the American militiamen did not dare to resist. Nonsense, the opposite side looked like regular troops, and they were not even considered National Guardsmen. What should we use to fight the opponent? People with sharp eyes even saw the black machine gun aiming at their own side.
The disguised Rogge was also on the side, shouting in surprise: "We are American citizens, don't kill us."
Looking at the timid Rogge, Charles' mouth Twitching, it really embarrasses them Americans. Although it is not honorable to surrender, the form is stronger than the person. Not only are there more people on the opposite side, but the weapons are also superior. Naturally, they can only disarm first to see what happens, and Rogge, the "U.S. "The disgrace of a man" is as short as peeing his pants, which made Charles extremely disgusted with this "American businessman".
And what Rogge wants is this effect. Now that he is a victim, naturally he cannot stand with East Africa, otherwise his career will be interrupted.
…The second day.
More than 900 Americans, including Roger the spy, were deported back to Honolulu from East Africa.
“What’s going on?”
Charles said with a grimace: "During our coup, East Africans invaded Kauai and established the so-called Kingdom of North Hawaii."
"What?"
"How dare East Africans "Yeah!"
"..."
Charles' answer caused an uproar among everyone. Originally, the Republic of Hawaii had already regarded the entire islands as its own, but someone picked the peaches. , this is simply too irritating.
"What is the strength of the East Africans on the island? Are they a colonial group or an army? How many are there?" asked Sanford, President of the Republic of Hawaii.
Charles: "It's the East African Defense Force. I can't mistake their ugly clothes."
In this era, the military uniforms of various countries are very colorful, but there are not many of them in East Africa. The modified earth-gray military uniform was synonymous with ugliness in Charles' eyes.
"Where are their numbers!"
Charles shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, but from what I saw, there were probably more than a thousand people, and they were equipped with machine guns and other weapons. , at first glance, they are elite troops from East Africa, obviously with murderous intent.”
At this time, Sanders suddenly remembered that Rogge was from Kauai. He quickly asked: "Mr. Rogge, this time East Africa suddenly invaded Kauai, why didn't you notice it before?"
Luo Ge said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, I am just a little boy. How could a small businessman ever think that East Africa would be interested in a small island thousands of miles away? You can ask everyone about this. "
The people Rogge refers to are the American businessmen who were expelled from East Africa. , they were released by East Africa along with Charles's team.
"Mr. Rogge is right. There were indeed many people with yellow faces on the island before, but there are so many Chinese and Japanese people in Hawaii, including the local indigenous people, who all have the same skin color. Who would have thought that East Africans would be mixed in? Among them, and the East Africans seem to have been killed from other parts of the island. , they should have landed somewhere on the island, and then captured Kauai in one fell swoop."
"Mr. President, now that we are driven out by the East Africans, you have to make the decision for us! It's in the hands of East Africa!" Rogge complained loudly from the side.
Other American businessmen also hurriedly asked for help. Hearing the noise of a group of people, Sanford's head was blown. He, the president of Hawaii, encountered such an unfortunate thing just after taking office. How could he explain it to him?
As for helping them regain their property, Sanford can only use excuses to delay. After all, the East Africans have troops on Kauai, and no one knows whether the East Africans will take advantage of the trend and seize the entire Hawaiian Islands. .
So at this time, Sanford's first consideration is his own safety: "Hurry up and seek help from the country. We must let the government negotiate with East Africa. This is no longer something we can participate in."
The government Sanford is talking about is naturally the US government, and the fact that he is the puppet of the President of the Republic of Hawaii is confirmed.
