African Entrepreneurship Records

Chapter 859 Landing, Capture, Repatriation

But Robert's calculations were in vain, because he found that the Americans were all invited as "guests" by the East Africans. Looking at the serious-looking East African militia on Lihue Street, 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 feel that there is something strange at sea today. I just can't remember what went wrong for a while."

“It’s a boat. In the past, even though 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 Island, Charles' mood became worse and worse, because there were no fishing boats near Kauai Island 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?"

"So far, we haven't seen even a single fishing boat, which is so weird," Charles said. "I'm worried there might be something going on on Kauai that we don't know about."

Rogge said "worriedly": "I didn't find anything wrong before I left, maybe I was overly worried."

And 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.

Facing the ferocious East African National Defense Force, the American militiamen did not dare to resist. Nonsense, the opposite side looked like regular troops. How could the National Guard, who were not even considered a brand, fight against the opponent? Those with sharp eyes even saw the black machine guns. Already targeting one's own side.

Seeing the flag of the Kingdom of Hawaii, I subconsciously felt a little 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.

Charles thought for a while and said: "Maybe, but considering the situation on Kauai, even if something big happens, there shouldn't be much danger."

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.

On the island, the East Africans naturally discovered this unexpected ship. Since the port was closed, Lihue has only been unable to enter or exit, but only small boats are passing by, but the ship on the opposite side is very big.

"lay down your weapon!"

 So the Republic of Hawaii also follows the flag of the Kingdom of Hawaii, but East Africans naturally don’t know the details.

Soon, after the ship docked, the thoughts of the East African officers and soldiers were further confirmed. A group of tall and thick people came down, with red ribbons tied around their necks. They were American militiamen from the Hawaiian Islands.

Charles believes that in Hawaii, especially the island of Kauai, which is so close to Honolulu on Oahu, no one should dare to cause trouble under the noses of Americans.

Rogge in disguise was also on the side, shouting in surprise: "We are American citizens, don't kill us."

Not long after, the ship could finally see the outline of Kauai Island. Although no ships leaving the port were still found, no major changes were seen on the shore, so Charles ordered the ship to continue setting off towards the Port of Lihue.

 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.

Looking at the cowardly Rogge, the corner of Charles's mouth twitched. He really embarrassed the Americans. Although it was not honorable to surrender, the form was stronger than the people. Not only were the people on the opposite side more numerous, but the weapons were also superior. Naturally, he had to disarm first. Look what happened, and Roger, the “disgrace to the American people,” was close to **** his pants, which made Charles extremely disgusted with this “American businessman.”

 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.

"How is this going?"

Charles said with a grimace: "During our coup, East Africans invaded Kauai and established what was called the Kingdom of North Hawaii."

"What?"

 “How dare East Africans do that?”

　　　…”

Charles's answer caused an uproar among everyone. The Republic of Hawaii had already regarded the entire islands as its own, but someone picked peaches. This was really annoying.

“What is the strength of the East Africans on the island? Is it 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 gorgeous, and the drab gray military uniforms in East Africa without much modification are synonymous with ugliness in Charles's eyes.

 “Where are their numbers!”

Charles shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, but what I saw was probably more than a thousand people, and they were equipped with machine guns and other weapons. At first glance, they looked like elite troops from East Africa, and they obviously had murderous intent."

At this time, Sanders suddenly remembered that Rogge was from Kauai. He quickly asked: "Mr. Rogge, why didn't you notice this sudden invasion of Kauai by East Africa?"

Rogge said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, I am just a small businessman. How could I have thought that East Africa would be interested in a small island thousands of miles away? You can ask everyone about this."

The people Rogge was talking about were the American businessmen who were expelled from East Africa. They were released back by East Africa together 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 were mixed in, and East Africans seem to They were killed from other parts of the island. They should have landed somewhere on the island and captured Kauai in one fell swoop.”

"Mr. President, now that we are driven out by East Africans, you have to make the decision for us! Our property is still in the hands of East Africa!" Rogge complained loudly from the side.

Other American businessmen also hurriedly called for help. Hearing the noise of a group of people, Sanford's head got big. He, the president of Hawaii, encountered such an unfortunate thing just after taking office. How could he explain it?

As for helping them regain their property, Sanford could only use excuses to delay. After all, the East Africans had troops on Kauai, and no one knew whether the East Africans would go south and seize the entire Hawaiian Islands.

 So at this time, Sanford’s first concern is his own safety: “Ask for domestic help quickly. 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 U.S. government, and the fact that he is a puppet of the President of the Republic of Hawaii is confirmed.
