Chapter 1058 The true face of the imperialist powers

Hawaii has reached the most dangerous moment!
wrong!

It should be said that the privileges of Americans in Hawaii have reached the most dangerous moment!
Even when it comes to danger, it is the Americans who do it themselves.They never thought that the script they had written would be snatched away by others.

In order to write this script well, they spent a lot of effort at the beginning.

Decades ago, a group of American missionaries came to the newly unified Hawaii. They fooled the locals and said that the United States is the best, the best, the American political system, and the American system.

A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth, not to mention the bumpkins in Hawaii who have never seen the world, even if it is replaced by a highly educated person who is constantly instilled with a message, he can be limped .

So, under the deception of the Americans for decades, more than 30 years ago, Hawaii imitated the United States and established a Congress. All kinds of congressmen and prime ministers were produced. It was pretty good at the beginning.

The locals hold the power. As for the American immigrants, they are consultants, staff, etc., and at most they are judges and lawyers.However, the high mortality rate brought about by various infectious diseases brought by American immigrants has caused more and more indigenous people to die of diseases, and even dignitaries have been infected with infectious diseases such as smallpox and leprosy.

Moreover, when American immigrants helped formulate laws, they left behind many bugs, which were convenient for them to gain power.These BUGs are bills such as voting rights. It is through the use of the so-called "suffrage" that a large number of American immigrants who own land and shops have become voters because of paying taxes. On the contrary, what about the natives?On the contrary, they are excluded from voters because of restrictions on property and taxation.Seven years ago, Americans already made up half of its Congress.

According to the plan of the Americans, when their congressmen have an absolute majority, they can almost "peacefully annex" it, just like what they did in Texas and other places.

It's just that a small deviation occurred in history here-the rise of the Ming Empire and its intervention in Hawaiian affairs made Americans dumbfounded.

"His Royal Highness, when I signed the contract with your country on behalf of the Ming Empire seven years ago, I said that we are willing to cooperate with your country on equality and mutual trust in all aspects. The empire has never thought of offending your country's sovereignty. The purpose of the treaty is to protect Hawaii from being annexed by the United States. Now that the United States is willing to deal with Hawaii in a fair manner, we will certainly not insist on the unequal clauses in the treaty."

"Listen to me, John!"

"It's just a letter of commission from Washington. After all, I'm just a businessman."

What a stand!

"Ambassador Cheng, now we have reached a preliminary consensus with the Americans. The United States has initially agreed to abolish the clauses in the treaty related to port and territorial sovereignty. I hope your country can also agree to abolish the corresponding clauses in the treaty."

What is making a wedding dress for others?

Walter Gibson leaned forward slightly, then stared at him and said.

Of course, there are also considerable benefits for the businessman himself-he will do everything possible to safeguard his own interests, which is not only his own, but also the interests of businessmen like him.

"What? What? Do you know what you're talking about? If our navy doesn't get Pearl Harbor, then we'll always be overwhelmed by Ming here, and in the future..."

Walter Gibson, the prime minister of the kingdom, put his cigar in the ashtray and said.

This is the standpoint. Unlike the high-ranking Americans, the Ming Empire has always respected Hawaii, respected their sovereignty, and respected their laws. Of course, the Ming Empire has only one principle—the first is fairness, and the second is Fair, the third is still fair.

Official support!
This is why the Ming immigrants have an advantage. The government not only listed Hawaii as an immigration destination, and the immigration boats of the Immigration Department transported the immigrants, but also supported the banks to provide loans to the immigrants, supporting them to buy land to raise cattle or build plantations.

"Plan, what plan?"

Sometimes things go more smoothly than expected.Perhaps because he felt the uncompromising attitude of the Ming Empire, and of course, more importantly, under the pressure of the Imperial Fleet, American Ambassador John Stevens actually agreed in principle to the modified treaty requirements of the King of Hawaii.

Regarding this, the King Kalakaua naturally nodded excitedly, and when he summoned the ambassador of the Ming Empire, he said it directly to him.

Walter Gibson picked up his cigar again and took a puff, then leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs and said.

In the smoking room, Sanford Dole said a little excitedly.

"John, if we don't act anymore, they will soon take away everything here with official support! And what about us? There is almost no official support and funding!"

"I have a plan."

"My plan is this..."

"I hope you can accept their conditions and renew the contract according to their requirements!"

This is marrying for others!
The bill designed by the Americans in the past was based on the fact that the natives continued to get sick and died, and the American immigrants gained a population advantage. But now, compared with the American immigrants, the Ming immigrants came faster and more. As for property, Taxation is not a problem at all for limited voting rights.

How about Americans?

John Stevens shrugged helplessly, and then said.

They are all alone!
"Sanford, my friend, we all know that it is impossible for the U.S. government to subsidize us like the Ming Empire subsidizes their immigrants, even including me as an ambassador..."

"So, our interests are the same, John, we must act!"

"This plan needs your help, John!"

The power held by the Americans should also be held by Ming Dynasty.

Facing King Kalakaua's proposal, Cheng Shigong smiled.

Before he could finish speaking, John said excitedly.

"...As we all know, with the funding of the Bank of Ming Dynasty, those immigrants from the Ming Dynasty purchased a large amount of land in various parts of Hawaii. Their pastures and plantations are no less than ours. They even monopolize the fishing industry in Hawaii..."

Except for major countries, the US ambassadors to foreign countries in this year and month are all acted by local American businessmen, and the US government just pays a subsidy.In fact, this is also the practice of most countries. As for the so-called embassy, ​​it is actually the mansion of the businessman himself.

Of course, it's not that the Americans didn't ask for it. They also demanded that the Ming Empire also return the port and other facilities.

……

Now that the Americans have given up, of course Daming...will not persist.

It's just...it's so simple!

Although he was skeptical in his heart, Cheng Shigong did not show any emotion on the surface. Like the Americans, he said that he would report to the Imperial Foreign Office, and so on.

In fact, all of this is just words and excuses. Will the Imperial Foreign Office agree?
It is impossible to agree at all, not only is it impossible to agree, but even like Americans, they will further demand more privileges.

It is the true face of the imperialist powers to push forward!
