Chapter 858 The Mean British Guy

The day after the coup.

"Mr. Roger, it's up to you next. We have already taken over the southern islands. You are the main spokesperson on Kauai."

Rogge pretended to be "high-spirited". After all, when the United States ruled Hawaii, his status as an "American" would naturally rise sharply, so everyone was not surprised to see Roger's attitude.

"Gentlemen, when we control Kauai, I will definitely entertain you well on the island. I hope everyone can go to my manor and get drunk."

Rogge's words made the American soldiers present very happy. After all, they were doing a life-threatening job. As for the people accompanying Roger, only one of them was a representative of the American business community and the military commander this time.

For this "expedition" to Kauai, the Americans gathered a total of 108 people. With the cooperation of the Americans on Kauai, it would be easy for the Governor of Kauai to surrender.

So under the gaze of everyone, a "warship" flying the flag of the Republic of Hawaii rushed towards Kauai.

At this time, the Americans did not know that a coup had taken place on Kauai on the same day as them, after all, Kauai was a little remote from the southern islands.

Moreover, East Africa had blocked the entire Kauai yesterday, prohibiting ships and private people from going out to sea, and tipped off the Americans. Now American businessmen on Kauai have been controlled by East Africa.

This is also thanks to the fact that Kauai is not very high in the Hawaiian Islands, mainly because the economy is not very developed, so there are few ships and people on the island, and it is easy to control. If it is a port like Pearl Harbor where ships come in and out every day, it is really hard to say.

Of course, East Africa's population advantage on the island is also the main reason. The various East African organizations lurking on the island responded actively during the coup and immediately controlled the government agencies, police stations, military and other important departments of Kauai.

In fact, the Hawaiian police and military on Kauai only have a total of dozens of people, and they are concentrated in Lihue, so they surrendered as soon as they encountered the coup.

On the contrary, some private armed forces on the island gave East Africa some headaches. In this era, it was common to carry weapons when going out to sea. Even some merchant ships would be equipped with artillery to prevent pirates. Therefore, the East African government was on guard against people making trouble after the coup.

However, East Africa's worries were unnecessary. Although there were not many East African troops on Kauai Island, the dark gray uniforms, coupled with the murderous faces of the East African National Defense Force soldiers, these business groups did not dare to find fault at all.

Of course, there were still some bold people who questioned the so-called North Hawaiian Kingdom government supported by East Africa. They were generally British and French businessmen who were proud of their citizenship of the great powers and were not afraid of East Africans being unreasonable.

"Sir John Crane, what you are doing is illegal. You must know that the Kingdom of Hawaii is an independent country. Even the United States cannot overthrow the rule of the Hawaiian government." A British businessman protested to John Crane.

"Mr. Robert, please be patient. We in East Africa have no intention of annexing Hawaii. We are just helping King Kumali to restore his family's rule on Kauai. After all, the Kingdom of Hawaii was previously composed of several countries, so it is completely reasonable and legal for Kauai to regain its independence. East Africa has accepted King Kumali's request, so it naturally cannot sit idly by."

"Sir John Crane, this kind of talk is a bit far-fetched. Kauai was originally peaceful and prosperous under the rule of the Kingdom of Hawaii. It is obviously you East Africans who are interfering, and Kumali is just your puppet." Robert said.

As a British, Robert looked down on East Africa. After all, Britain lost face in the last war. As a citizen of the British Empire, he was not afraid that the East African government would do anything to him, so he was confident in confronting John Crane.

John Crane was not angry, but said calmly: "Haha, you are just making some conjectures. Our attitude towards weak countries in East Africa has always been consistent. The people of Kauai can't stand the tyranny of the Kingdom of Hawaii, so they naturally want to secede again. If Mr. Robert is not convinced, he can go to the streets to encourage them to overthrow the legitimate government of the Kingdom of North Hawaii."

John Crane's words made Robert feel sick. He said with a little disdain: "At this time, you don't have to pretend. So many East Africans suddenly appeared on the island. You must have planned it. I'm afraid that the natives on the island are not much more than East Africans at this time."

Before that, Robert thought that these yellow-faced East Africans were Japanese or Far Easterners, and of course they could also be Hawaiian natives. The Japanese were the most likely, after all, they didn't have braids and their skin was whiter than the natives.

Of course, because these people generally spoke Chinese before, everyone thought that there were more Chinese and Japanese on the island, which was also normal. Hawaii was originally like this.

Unexpectedly, after these guys stopped hiding, they all spoke fluent German. Thinking that East Africa had quietly immigrated so many people to the island, it must have been prepared for many years, so East Africa had obviously been planning for a long time.

However, Robert thought about it again. The Kingdom of Hawaii has always been regarded as a sphere of influence by the Americans, and there are the most Americans on the archipelago, so why should he be the first to come forward? It would be great to see the United States and East Africa fight each other!

At this time, Robert regretted it a little. He shouldn't have been so impatient to run to John Crane and show his displeasure. This job should be done by the Americans.

John Crane didn't know Robert's psychological changes yet, but said: "Let's be frank. Mr. Robert has been doing business for so many years and is also a smart man. I know that the establishment of the Kingdom of North Hawaii is not in the interests of individuals, but now the Kingdom of North Hawaii is our protectorate in East Africa. This fact cannot be changed. Even if there are problems, the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii must come to talk to us. Of course, the puppet government is definitely not qualified."

Robert felt a little "weird" about John Crane's last sentence. What do you mean by the puppet government is not qualified? Isn't the Kingdom of North Hawaii a puppet supported by you?

But on second thought, Robert thought that John Crane might be talking about the US government behind the Kingdom of Hawaii. After all, the new king of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Kalakaua, has been pro-American for many years.

So the East African government is dissatisfied with the US government, and when he thought that East Africa might have a dispute with the United States because of the Hawaii issue, or even a war, Robert suddenly felt very good.

He suddenly changed his tone and said, "Mr. John Crane, I was a little harsh before. After all, I have some businesses on the island, so I am a little worried about the political changes on Kauai. However, as long as East Africa can guarantee our British interests on the island, we have absolutely no intention of interfering in the island's affairs."

Why did he suddenly become so easy to talk to? John Crane wondered in his heart, but it was a good thing to avoid this trouble.

"Don't worry about this, Mr. Robert. We respect the vested interests of various countries on the island. Private property is sacred and inviolable! As long as you abide by the laws and regulations of the island, we will naturally not target the normal business behavior of business groups from various countries, and guarantee the safety of your property."

Of course, this does not include Americans. John Crane silently added in his heart that Americans are also masters of playing "Li Dai Tao Jiang". East Africa will definitely find a way to get the Americans on the island to withdraw from here in the future.

Robert said with a smile: "That's great. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."

Robert now has to move to communicate with the Americans on the island, or to fan the flames. This kind of thing still needs the Americans to worry about. After all, Britain is too far away from Hawaii, so it is best to let the Americans deal with East Africa.
