Chapter 862 Follow-up
The tacit understanding between East Africa and the United States quickly attracted the attention of Britain, France and other countries. Of course, it is more accurate to say that they were dissatisfied, especially the United Kingdom, which was inevitably a little suspicious.
Launching a coup on the same day and then getting along without incident, this seems to be "collusion in advance". Before that, the British wanted to wait and see, but the two countries ended up fighting over the Hawaii issue. It did not appear, which further confirmed the speculations of Britain and France.
“We seriously doubt that East Africa and the United States reached some kind of tacit understanding before the coup. If not, how could it be such a coincidence? The two countries had a coup on the same day, which was obviously sufficient to carve up the Hawaiian Islands. Plan." said Wilson, the British Minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii, and Cabosel, the French Minister on the island.
Kaboosl thought the same way. He said: "Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is necessary for us to protest to the US government and ask the US government to accept the interests of our two countries,"

Why not go to East Africa? The reason is very simple. East Africa only has one Kauai Island, but the United States has a bunch of islands. If you go to East Africa, East Africa will not be able to give up Kauai Island. If you negotiate with the United States, you can at least use other islands to make a fuss.
Soon, the U.S. government received inquiries from Britain and France. In fact, Japan was also aggrieved. But of course, Japan did not have much reputation in the world. It was not among the great powers and could not compete with Britain. , France and France are equally confident in seeking benefits from the United States.
As a result, President Cleveland soon encountered the expected trouble. Diplomats from Britain and France began negotiations with the United States on the issue of the Hawaiian Islands.
As for one of the "perpetrators" in East Africa, he became a mass eater. He didn't know what benefits the United States had given up, and he quickly settled the British and French governments.
The most critical step in the Hawaiian Islands issue has yet to be resolved, and that is the American property on the Kauai Islands that has been temporarily "kept" by East Africa.
"Roger has been crying miserably in the Republic of Hawaii these days, pretending to be like it." John Crane muttered.
Roger's identity cannot be revealed, so John Crane did not tell anyone else about Rogge's identity. However, Rogge, as one of the main businessmen in the original Kaua'i Island, has some of his own businesses in Honolulu. The move was easily communicated back to Kauai.
Roger certainly does not have this kind of energy, but there are many "victims" like him. Dozens of former Kauai businessmen brought Americans from Kauai to the Honolulu City Hall to demand an explanation. It still has some effect.
As for this, the United States naturally cannot sit idly by. After all, it is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of its businessmen, and it will not look good in the newspapers.
As for the issue of returning the property of American citizens on Kauai, the U.S. Minister to Hawaii soon went to Kauai in person to negotiate with East Africa.
The U.S. Minister to Hawaii, Minister Steven, arrived on Kauai Island on a U.S. warship with an ugly look on his face. He was the main manipulator of this coup in Hawaii.
After all, without his acquiescence, American businessmen would not have the guts to launch a coup in Hawaii. No matter how unbearable the Kingdom of Hawaii is, it is still a country with an army. If an accident does occur, the last resort is the United States.
“That’s an East African warship!” Steven said looking at the East African Pacific Fleet ship, which was a little bigger than his car.
After all, the local army did not participate in the Hawaiian coup, so Steven's ship is naturally no match for the regular warships of the East African Navy, even the superficial East African Navy's Pacific Fleet.
Although East African gunboats are not as majestic as ironclads, they can also serve as main warships in many countries. However, East Africa took out three of them at once and put them on Kauai, which also made Minister Steven see East Africa’s love for cuteness. The island is inevitable.
But the more this happens, the more Steven hates it. As the leader of the Hawaiian coup, this operation in East Africa is equivalent to poaching Steven's hard work. This is first, second, and most important. Originally, The United States had the opportunity to monopolize the Hawaiian Islands, but due to East Africa's actions, the two countries jointly divided Hawaii.
These losses will eventually be attributed to Steven. After all, the coup is his private act and not authorized by the local government. Therefore, after returning to China, his career will be greatly affected, and it is very likely that he will be Hold accountable.
But it's too late to say anything now. Steven can only try his best to recover the losses for the "victims" in the United States to prevent them from suing him when they return to the country. After landing in Lihue, Steven was taken directly to the East African Governor's Palace of Hawaii. Looking at the East African Governor's Palace flying the East African flag and the flag of the Kingdom of Northern Hawaii, Steven felt sad again.
As for the issue of compensation, East Africa has been negotiating with Minister Steven for a long time. Unlike the previous heroic purchase of properties on Kauai, East Africa now fights for every penny.
In the end, East Africa acquired some American assets at 0.3% higher than the market price, including the share of "Rogg", but the money was equal to the left hand and the right hand.
For some American businessmen who were unwilling to accept, East Africa also returned their assets, but they could not take them away and could only operate in Kauai, mainly land and real estate.
As for these Americans who are relying on Kauai, East Africa also has ways to deal with them, just raise taxes a little bit, and in the end they will obey. It is just to temporarily stabilize the US government, so the East African government will not do this directly. Yes, wait until all the fortifications on Kauai are completed before starting related work.
......
"Brother Rogge, don't sigh. At least the money is coming back. The worst is to find another place to develop. There are not many opportunities in the country now. Depending on your financial resources, you can go to the country. I believe I can still thrive," Enders comforted her.
Rogge pretended to smile and said: "Thank you for your comfort, but so many years of hard work have been in vain. These East Africans are simply beasts!"
Rogge's heartbroken look aroused the sympathy of the Americans present. , and at the same time, he was somewhat gloating. Fortunately, his previous property was not deployed on Kauai Island, otherwise Rogge's pitiful situation yesterday would be their today.
“Brother Rogge, what are your plans for the future?”
Rogge sighed and said: “The East Africans have lost some money, so I won’t lose everything, so I plan to take it. With this money, go to the West (U.S.). The risks of doing business overseas are too great. My small body simply cannot bear it. I also advise you that there will be more opportunities in the future. It’s better to get away from this kind of place of right and wrong.”
His words resonated with everyone. After all, if we can develop well here, who would want to come to this hinterland of the Pacific? Hawaii is even a remote place. If it can't catch up, it still has a tropical rainforest climate. If it weren't for some strategic value and relatively good returns, no one would take the risk to make a fortune here.
"After two years, when I have made enough money, I will definitely return to the United States to invest. Then I will treat you to a drink." Enders comforted her.
However, Enders could not have imagined that the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of her was actually an East African spy. As for the future meeting, Enders had never heard of Rogge again.
No one knows where "Rogg" went in the end. After all, Rogge is just a code name, and he has a dozen or even more such code names.
With everyone reluctant to leave, Rogge led his "workers" to leave the sad place of Hawaii. He stood on the boat and "tearfully bid farewell" to everyone.
Wait for a while before the boat leaves.
"Webmaster, where should we go next?"
Roger still looked pitiful at this time. He said with high spirits: "Let's go to Florida..."
