Chapter 1060 The Notorious Ming Dynasty (3rd update, please subscribe)

Gunshot!

When the gunshots rang out, King Kalakaua woke up from his dream. When he woke up, he heard a burst of dense gunfire, followed by explosions.

"What's going on?"

Soon, he got the answer from the guards who ran in in panic.

"Your Majesty, the Americans are attacking the palace."

"What? Americans? How is that possible?"

The reason why he was so surprised was that in his simple mind he never thought that the Americans would betray the promise they had made.

The Americans attacked the palace?

Are those Americans crazy?

What were they thinking of doing there? Was there some misunderstanding?

Although King Kalakaua was full of doubts, the guards' resistance was soon broken down. The person who broke into the palace was none other than Prime Minister Walter Gibson. Unlike his usual polite appearance, today he held a revolver in his hand.

"Walter, what's going on?"

When he saw the Prime Minister, King Kalakaua just thought that he was there to help him. After all, behind the Prime Minister there were not only Americans but also some guards.

"His Majesty,"

Walter saluted respectfully.

"I hope you understand that this is not a personal grudge between us. I am doing this for the well-being of the Hawaiian people. The power of the Hawaiian people should be returned to them, not the king..."

King Kalakaua was dumbfounded. What was he saying? What was his prime minister saying? Why couldn't he understand what this guy meant?

"Walter, what are you talking about?"

Until this time, he didn't understand what was happening. Just at this moment, Sanford Dollar walked in. He walked in front of the king, saluted respectfully, and then said.

"Your Majesty, this is an uprising, an uprising launched by the Hawaiian people for freedom! The Hawaiian people will never accept the tyranny of the monarchy."

"This is a riot, a coup, a..."

Finally, King Kalakaua finally understood what was happening. He looked at these Americans angrily. They were his prime minister, his congressmen, his... the destroyers of his kingdom.

“Why, why…”

"Your Majesty, I have said before that this is not our personal grudge, but the choice of the people! Free people will never accept the rule of a king!"

Sanford Dollar replied in a righteous tone.

It seemed that at this moment, he really became the embodiment of justice, but in reality? Everything was just for profit, to snatch this land from the owner of this land.

"Damn it, we shouldn't have trusted you from the beginning. That's what you did in Texas. You, you damn American bastards, you took the land from the Indians, you took the land from the Mexicans, and now you want to take the land from Hawaii. You will never get what you want..."

King Kalakaua was shouting excitedly, and suddenly, as if he had thought of the last straw, he shouted excitedly.

"Ming! The Ming Empire will never agree to what you are doing. They will never watch you occupy Hawaii. They will send a fleet to protect Hawaii like they did last time. They will never sit idly by and do nothing!..."

Looking at the king in front of him who seemed a little crazy, Sanford Dollar looked at him with sympathy. At this moment, he couldn't even bear to break the king's innocent fantasy.

"Your Majesty, the fleet of the Ming Empire has left, but our fleet came back very quickly. By the time the Ming Empire learned of this news, a month had passed. By the time they returned here, it was almost over..."

Looking at the somewhat naive kingdom in front of him, Sanford Dollar spoke in a tone full of compassion.

"Two months, and in these two months, the Republic of Hawaii will be established. The Republic will replace the Kingdom as the only legitimate government here. Everything that happened today is not a coup, but the choice of the people! Your Majesty!"

When saying this, Sanford Dollar looked somewhat proud. This plan was something they had been planning for a long time. They all knew very well that with the increase of immigrants from the Ming Empire, they would eventually control everything here - using everything that the Americans had created in the past, such as Congress, members of Congress, and elections, which would eventually become tools for the Ming immigrants.

By that time, what about the Americans?

We can only watch helplessly as the Ming people seize the power and wealth here!

Americans will never accept this!

At least they would never just watch helplessly as the Ming people took away "their" wealth.

Of course, Sanford Dollar and his colleagues also reflected on the reasons for their failure seven years ago. Their failure was not due to how intense the Ming Empire’s reaction was, but because of the United States’ concerns. If the United States had directly annexed them or they had directly launched a coup, then everything would have changed.

The Ming Empire might not be able to accept the United States' exclusive control of Hawaii, but what could they do in the face of the fait accompli? Would they go to war with the United States for the fait accompli?

As long as it is a fait accompli, they have only two choices: either go to war or accept it.

The problem is…

"The Ming Empire will never go to war with the United States for Hawaii. As long as we establish our own republic before they learn about everything here!"

In the smoking room of John Stevens's house, James Dole smoked a cigar and said to him proudly.

"When the Ming Empire sent out their fleet again, they were facing the Republic of Hawaii. As for the Kingdom, it had completely disappeared."

When James Doll mentioned disappearing completely, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and just when he was about to continue speaking, John Stevens shook his head and said.

"I don't want to know how you did it, but James, don't forget your promise!"

What promise did he make?

Of course it's about the promise of wealth, James Dole nodded and said.

"Don't worry, John. Just as I said before, when everything is over, all the lands under the king's name will be nationalized and auctioned off. You and General Worden will both get your share of the rewards."

At any time, for businessmen, their first concern is profit. When Texas became independent, what did those so-called independence heroes get? A large piece of "state-owned land". The same is true here now.

Nodding, John Stevens said.

"General Worden and his men should be here soon! I hope everything goes well! By the way..."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, John Stevens emphasized.

"Remember, don't hurt any Ming people, and never give them any reason to interfere, understand?"

"certainly!"

James nodded in agreement.

"Everyone knows that the Ming people are the most protective of their own people. They even bombarded Los Angeles for their overseas Chinese. We will never give them any reason to interfere!"

That’s the benefit of being famous!

The Ming Empire was famous for protecting its own people. If any Ming expatriates were harmed in this uprising, the Ming Empire's navy would definitely not let it go.

Of course, by that time, they would have reason to take action and intervene directly in Hawaii.

So in no case can they be given any excuse to interfere.

All I can say is that sometimes there is always a glimmer of fantasy in people's hearts, just like these Americans right now.

In fact, people are always like this. When they are about to make a decision, they always have a glimmer of fantasy in their hearts.

But they forget that sometimes reality is extremely cruel.
