It was nine o'clock in the evening on January 1, 1894, Surabaya time. It was four o'clock in the morning on January 1, Hawaii time.

The fleet of six cruisers and three supply ships has arrived 60 nautical miles outside Surabaya.

"Slow down and put down the torpedo boat." Hearing that the distance was only sixty nautical miles, Liu Yiming couldn't hold it in any longer. Since setting off until now, Liu Yiming has not received any useful information.

Can't wait to get the latest information or even contact me directly.

The Wolf-class and Steppenwolf-class torpedo boats are the fastest means of communication. Even the Steppenwolf-class, with the shortest range, can travel sixty nautical miles round trip without any pressure.

Unlike the Steppenwolf class, the Wolf is a more advanced and reasonable torpedo boat.

After all, Prairie Wolf is an emergency product, and everything is directed towards the fastest production speed, which is particularly crude.

The Wild Wolf is an improved model, with a tonnage expanded to 80, almost two Steppenwolves, a range of 400, power provided by three new high-speed diesel engines, and a speed of 35 knots.

The stability is greatly improved, the shell is thicker, and it can resist small-caliber rapid-fire cannons. A layer of defensive steel plate is also added to the fatal part.

The bomb load has been doubled, and it can carry eight spare torpedoes and three torpedo tubes, two in the front and one in the rear, and the rear one can be steered.

They are all new torpedoes!!! (emphasis added!)

There is also a smoke grenade launcher and a smoke generator. This is an improved version added after learning from experience and lessons learned after the Battle of Medan. In addition, there are only two Maxim machine guns. I don’t know what they are used for...

The warship is busy because Steppenwolf has considered the issue of sea supply from the beginning of its design and can refuel at sea, so refueling is very simple and only requires a pipe.

Half an hour later, twelve torpedo boats and two torpedo boat squadrons rushed out of the fleet that had only traveled five nautical miles.

"Minimize conflicts as much as possible, but in times of crisis, you can use all means to eliminate threats." This is what Liu Yiming told Yang Boning, captain of the torpedo boat team before departure.

The torpedo boat brigade had just been established. Yang Boning was originally waiting to receive the destroyer, but after this happened, he was thrust back into the torpedo boat formation.

"It's time for me to get rich! Let's make great achievements this time!" Yang Boning encouraged each captain before setting off.

There are twelve torpedo boats. The Wild Wolf class can also resist small-caliber guns. It will not be a problem to fire 37 guns and 47 guns. However, the Steppenwolf class can only block one Maxim machine gun, and every 37 gun can hit a hole.

47 can penetrate it!

However, the torpedo boat brigade was still dispatched. The twelve torpedo boats formed two formations and sailed at full speed on the dark sea at a speed of 35/37 knots.

The moment before the sun comes out is the darkest...

…………

At five o'clock in the morning, the torpedo boat arrived at the battlefield in an hour, and Luo Dian couldn't sit still.

Dozens of people came towards the Queen of Hawaii's palace and surrounded this small building.

"Your Majesty! I am Lauren A. Thurston, don't worry, I'm not here to launch a coup." Lauren, the leader of the last coup, shouted.

He also wanted to launch another coup, but telegrams came from the country that before Christmas last year, the South China Fleet assembled on a large scale and disappeared.

Calculated according to time, we can arrive in two days.

The sudden move of the South China Army frightened Lauren, and he would bet all his glory and wealth on it for the rest of his life!

Although the South China Army and the Americans (this army is Mingganci, it took half an hour to find out...) have maintained restraint, but physical fighting is taking place everywhere in the city.

Rather, Nan Hua had the advantage of concentration and numbers, and rushed towards the palace with overwhelming force.

"We can't wait any longer. By the time those yellow men come in, it will be too late!" Seeing no reply, Lauren was ready to take another risk. It wasn't called an adventure. They had thirty soldiers with live ammunition.

The other soldiers went out to provide support. Before leaving, the commander gave a death order and did not allow the use of any weapons...

Lauren thought he was doomed the moment the coup failed. As a result, the Americans did not give up, but instead gathered the Russians to land together. Although the governor was gone, the treaty was signed, so his wealth could still be saved.

Otherwise, when Nan Hua takes over Hawaii, all his plantations and processing plants will have to be sold at a low price, and his wealth will be more important than his life!

"Get ready!" Lauren raised her pistol and shouted.

The people around also raised their rifles. These people were American immigrants who participated in the coup. The official soldiers had been taken away by the commander.

Part of it is that we need support for the big fight ahead, and part of it is to force the king of a country to convict. The presence of foreign soldiers is not good-looking, and there will be a lot of trouble if the time comes.

Now? My soldiers didn’t fire a single shot at anyone after they landed ashore! What’s wrong? Didn’t I just put two warships at the entrance of your military camp and two warships at the entrance of the settlement? What’s wrong?

"Wait a minute!" a voice came from the room.

"If you can give me the conditions Nanhua offers me, I am willing to sign." Queen Liliuokalani opened the door.

Native Hawaiians are brown and black, maybe because they are too exposed to the sun? It was early in the morning, so they were not very visible.

"Raise your hands, Your Majesty!" Lauren pointed her pistol at Queen Liliuokalani.

On a dense tree not far away, Luo Dian was also lying among the branches, pulling out his pistol and wondering who should be shot to death.

"Don't be so nervous, Lauren, really." Liliuokalani looked down upon the usurper in front of her.

But it was he who made her understand that this kingdom could no longer be maintained after a large number of foreigners entered.

This is why she agreed to abdicate.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't give you these conditions. All you need to sign is a few land sales contracts, which won't have much impact on you." Lauren was full of lies.

"I sold the port on my front foot, but you sold my back foot? Do you think I'm a fool?" Liliuokalani still has a certain political acumen and can understand why the small island is constantly being fought for.

"You..." Just as Lauren was about to curse, a subordinate suddenly walked in and said something in his ear.

"Stop trying to delay time, just sign it obediently, Your Majesty!" Lauren suddenly became much calmer.

Of course Liliuokalani is not willing to give in, this is her only bargaining chip!

The two kept talking to each other...

…

By the way, why did Lauren suddenly calm down?

After the South China Army jumped into the city from the mountains and forests, their weapons were concentrated, and they rushed forward to fight each other. The rocket launchers and mortars in the rear were ready, although they were ready to start a war.

But I don’t know what the Americans think, but they also ordered that they are not allowed to use weapons or carry guns.

Both sides exchanged punches, and it was a unique battle. It also had the flavor of ending. After being beaten a few times, they lay on the ground and were tied up, and that was the end.

At this time, half of the city was occupied by the South Chinese Army, which then "accommodated" many Americans who were injured for unknown reasons.

However, with the addition of American immigrants, Nan Hua's advance was hindered at every level. It did not stop until a huge brawl involving more than 4,000 people broke out.

Of course, this kind of physical fighting also caused a large number of casualties to the Nanhua Army. As for the dead, there have been no casualties on either side so far.

This is really a miracle. In the chaos of more than 4,000 people, the biggest injury was a broken bone.

…

Lin Anmin also entered the city through the trail.

"Mr. Constantine, you have violated international conventions!" Lin Anmin, who had just entered the city after many days, shouted angrily at Constantine.

Constantine is the minister to Hawaii. Although the United States places its diplomatic level so high, France is tasteless, and the United Kingdom is a pity to abandon him. It is just a service point.

"Really? Why didn't I know?" Constantine looked surprised.

"Your troops setting foot on other country's territory for no reason is a violation of international conventions!" Lin Anmin could not do anything. He was not sure whether the war could be fought.

I'm even less sure if I can win, after all, four warships came randomly, and they also had allies.

"Oh! What did you say? You are wrong. It is you who trampled on international conventions. I was just leading a team to take over the purchased port. It was just a business deal!" Constantine was confident.

According to the normal speed, Nanhua's fleet will take at least five days to arrive. Five days! What's not enough?

"You!" Lin Anmin didn't have much time to argue, now he had to keep the queen in his hands.

However, the port was full of warships, the city was full of Americans, and the number of armed civilians exceeded 4,000. There were also so many locals that Nan Hua did not have an advantage in street fighting.

"Minister, the commando team reported that Lauren has rushed into the bedroom. The commando team will take action at any time." Not long after he left, the staff officer came to report a major event.

"Guns are distributed. Let each battalion and company assemble their teams and defend the American settlements. From now on, the army will take the lead." Lin Anmin was prepared for the conflict to expand.

If you don't bring a cannon, then I will disable your cannon.

"yes!"

The South China Army quickly gathered, and the Americans on the opposite side slowly retreated when they saw the South China Army pick up their weapons.

Just kidding! The army has been in arrears for a long time and has poor food and housing. How can the Army still work hard for a few dollars? Just think about it.

Instead, look at what equipment the opponent has, and what equipment I have?

If you look at other people, you may not recognize them, but you recognize the rotating bolt action. How about you? Springfield - 1873.
