America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 501 Give it a go, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle

"Kameda-kun, are you really planning to cooperate with that Chen Jianqiu to carve up Hawaii?"

In Honolulu, in the courtyard of Xuanyangsha's dojo, the priest Sato stood beside Masao Kameda and asked.

Masao Kameda held a Roswell bolt-action rifle in his hand, aimed at an empty bottle on the edge of the rockery, and it was a "bang" shot.

The porcelain vase was smashed to pieces.

Kameda pulled the bolt, the bullet was loaded, and he pulled the trigger.

There was another "bang", and a bottle next to it exploded again.

Priest Sato couldn't help but tremble a little, blinked his eyes with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"It's a really good gun." Masao Kameda touched the gun and said with emotion, "No wonder the Long Spears can't beat them in Chinatown."

He turned his head and suddenly asked, "Sorry, Priest Sato, what did you just say?"

"Oh, I mean, are you really planning to cooperate with those Chinese?" The priest Sato stared at Masao Kameda's hand and the gun in his hand, for fear that he would suddenly raise the gun and fire again.

That voice is really loud!

"No, Priest Sato, you misunderstood, I was just using them, do you understand?" Kameda Masao said with a serious face, "They not only want to send out people, but also to send out weapons. When we succeed, the Emperor will support us When the time comes, those Chinese will have to listen to us!"

"You mean, the gun you are holding now was provided by Chen Jianqiu and the others, right?" Priest Sato asked.

"Hmm." Masao Kameda answered vaguely.

"Kameda-kun, you are truly the number one diplomatic genius since the Meiji era, and His Excellency Okubo Toshimichi is no different." Priest Sato sighed.

What an excellent mediation skill to be able to make the other party willingly form an alliance with you and provide guns when you are in a disadvantaged situation!
Kameda Masao remained expressionless as always, with a look of deep merit and fame.

Of course he would not tell the high priest Sato that these guns were not given to him by Chen Jianqiu, but sold to him at a high price.

In addition to the indemnity from Chinatown, Xuanyang Society has spent all the foundations collected over the past ten years and the funds provided by the military department!

Chen Jianqiu promised him that he would not only provide him with these guns and ammunition, but also lead the Chinese soldiers to the palace in Honolulu on the day of the operation!
Kameda and Xuanyangsha gave everything this time.

However, Masao Kameda thinks it is worth it if he can exchange for a glimmer of hope of success in despair.

A coup d'état is all about guts.

As long as the knife rests on his neck, no matter how powerful the hero is, he will have to step down.

Oda Nobunaga is such a coquettish character, isn't he still burned to death by Akechi Mitsuhide in Honnoji Temple?
Don't let others know about these things. I am bearing the burden of humiliation and taking a big gamble!It is by no means humiliating the country!
Just as Kameda Masao was staring at the gun in his hand in a daze, Grand Priest Sato called his name softly again:

"Mr. Kameda? Mr. Kameda?"

Kameda's state today seems to be not right today, he has been absent-minded or absent-minded.

Kameda Masao woke up again like a dream; "Is there anything else? Great Priest?"

"Oh, I would like to ask when can the shrine pay us the expenses for performing rituals for the dead Xuanyangsha members last time?" Sato asked the priest seemingly inadvertently.

If the relationship is good, the relationship is good, the money that should be given is still given, and he and the Shinto priests under him have to eat.

"Let's wait a few days. Everyone has been busy preparing for that important event in the past few days. I'll give it to you when I'm done." It's all clinking poorly.

Priest Sato was not too suspicious:
"I'll bring the people below to pray for you again. I hope you will be successful! At that time, the money will be counted together."

While Masao Kameda was preparing for a "coup", Thurston and his Hawaiian People's League were also preparing for their own "coup".

To some extent, Thurston's plan was much more reliable.

After all, he and Stevenson have been operating here for many years, and members have infiltrated the government!
In terms of intelligence, Thurston first bribed the Queen's close ministers, and he knew everything about the Queen's itinerary for the past month or so.

Politically speaking, those members of the Hawaiian People's League who had infiltrated the Kingdom's cabinet were already building momentum for the coup.

They constantly criticized the mistakes made by the Queen since she came to power in the parliament, such as the economic downturn, and the policy of treating Japanese and other Asians too loosely, which made these people gradually squeeze the living space of the local islanders.

The queen sits high on the throne, but feels that the throne is extremely cold.

Many aboriginal nobles in the cabinet were either bought off and tried to speak for these white people; some were brainwashed and longed for the merger with the United States, so they stood on the sidelines.

Among the queen's supporters, it was a royal nobleman named Kasaba who stood up to fight against these people.

However, as the leader of the royalist party, this person has great ambition and talent.

And he was the one who encouraged the Queen to dissolve the legislative organization and make reforms.

The war of words and guns in the palace continued.

The reason for Thurston's hesitation was that he was working hard on the other side.

After a few weeks, he finally succeeded.

The more than 1000 soldiers of the Honolulu Long Lancers, the only thing that the Hawaiian royal family can rely on, finally split internally.

They belonged to different tribes and were led by different people.

Some of them were willing to lay down their weapons and stand by; some were even willing to join the ranks of the coup d'état, as internal support, and publicly defected on the day of the attack.

There are only a few people left who are loyal to the Queen.

As a result, the balance of strength has completely tilted.

The force that the Queen and the royalists can rely on and rely on is only two or three hundred policemen and dozens of members of the guard.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these police officers is quite worrying, whether they can be mobilized in time is still a big problem.

A big stone in Thurston's heart finally fell to the ground.

Because the Hawaii People's League has also formed a militia force of 200 people.

Originally, when the U.S. federal army did not intervene, this militia unit alone wanted to touch the soldiers of the Pike Corps, fearing that the eggs would hit the stones.

But now, Thurston has gained some confidence.

Force is the courage of those who engage in politics!Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say!
He could finally beg the so-called Chinese-American businessman without listening to Stevenson.

In this coup, Thurston is the protagonist. How can he let a yellow-skinned Chinese stand on the same stage as himself?

He is not eligible!

Thinking of this, Thurston felt a lot of pride in his chest.

He repeatedly deliberated with the old pipe pipe Dole about the plan for the day of the operation.

Who blocked the door, who controlled the rest of the cabinet, and who followed him into the palace to take the queen, imprison her, and lock her up somewhere.

What surprised him was that during the whole process, Old Doer, who usually had the most opinions and scolded whenever he disagreed, didn't say a word.

Just smoking his pipe and nodding.

"Durr, do you have any other comments?" Thurston finally couldn't bear it and asked.

"Oh, no, I think it's good." Dull replied, his expression didn't change much.

Thurston didn't think too much, and continued to make preparations.

Soon, the planned day finally arrived.
