After this battle, more than 6000 Japanese died. If the Americans didn't want to keep the captives for negotiation, they would have killed them all. The population of 100,000 in Hawaii was reduced by one-fifth, leaving only 80,000 people.
And those who were injured and dying were not included in the list at all. After they died, they just had to leave a private trail.
The other Caucasians who were controlled at home spent the night in high spirits. When the gunshots died down in the morning, the people heaved a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.
Gregor, the British company in Hawaii, and William, the German minister in Hawaii, were invited to the palace by Kamaiba. When the two of them passed by, they could see the soldiers cleaning up the dead bodies. Their faces were also smeared with red and white special dye.
They were also shocked. This was really dragging dead people one by one. They were transported from various places to the port and then thrown into the volcano. The hot lava would bury all the evidence.
When they arrived at the palace, they saw Lily and Kamaiba sitting together, dressed neatly. Next to them was Leo, the American envoy in pajamas. He looked a little dejected and dispirited.
Kamaiba saw the arrival of the two envoys and quickly ended the conversation with Lily. He stood up to welcome them." My dear envoy, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bakar Kamaikaiha, the prince of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the person in charge of this incident. It's a pleasure to meet you!”
Gregor and William looked at Kamaiba in surprise. Kamaiba was too young, and most importantly, he had a strong sense of self-confidence. The feeling that everything was under my control had greatly impacted them.
Kamaiba smiled and said," Then, let me tell you the whole process. I am the late king's posthumous son. Since I was born, I have been carrying the mission of revitalizing the kingdom. I have worked hard for more than ten years and finally succeeded today. Then, what exactly is going on with this military coup? Listen to me!"”
"When my soldiers liberated Honolulu and the big island of Hawaii, the Japanese came out to cause trouble. They rushed into the residential area of the Americans and started killing, robbing, raping, and pillaging. It was really infuriating. However, at first, because I really couldn't stand the Americans, I didn't help them. However, in the end, my soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, so they started to act and saved nearly 20,000 Americans. The Japanese have already been punished by me, so you don't have to worry about them anymore!”
Gregor and William looked at each other. Kamaiba knew that they didn't really believe his words, but he was the kind of person who put on a show. So even if they investigated the truth, it was the same. So many Americans could see that it was the soldiers who saved them. They should be grateful.
Kamaiba stopped smiling and looked at the two of them seriously."I want to ask Yingde to intervene in this matter. We don't want to be enemies with the Americans, but we are not easy to bully, so I hope to get Yingde's protection!”
Gregor and William relaxed after hearing this. What was there to be afraid of? A hothead would be killed immediately. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the British Empire and the German Empire were, they wouldn't care. It was fine as long as they knew what was important.
"Your Highness, what can we get?" Gregor asked with a smile.”
William glanced at Gregor but did not speak. Kamaiba did not speak either. He just stared at the two of them. After a long time, he said,""National sovereignty cannot be violated. Everything else is negotiable!”
Gregor and William looked at each other and smiled.
Kamaiba smiled and said,""The Spanish warships have already set off and will arrive in a few days. They might be even faster than the American warships!”
Gregor and William's pupils constricted as they thought of the seriousness of the matter. Could it be that war was about to break out, but didn't Spain retreat? Why did he come up again at this time? Did they think that they could defeat the American Navy with their old warships?
Kamaiba spoke again," Perhaps you two are not very clear from here, but in January, Spain ordered a batch of warships from England and France. At that time, due to the urgency, they rented some warships from the active service of the two countries to adapt in advance. The contract was officially signed in early May, and a batch of new destroyer was launched. In other words, Spain is not weak. At least in the Pacific Ocean, the Americans are not a match.”
At this moment, the two of them were completely flustered. One had to know that England and Spain had just signed a secret agreement and exchanged colonies. If a war broke out between the United States and Spain at this time, England would definitely be involved. At that time, it would be a big war! After all, so many Americans had died here. They definitely wouldn't relent.
Was war really coming?
Thinking of this, their backs were almost wet. Gregor stared at Kamaiba and said,""What exactly do you want? What are your intentions?"
Kamaiba chuckled." I don't have any ulterior motives. I just want the Hawaiian Kingdom to exist. I even helped them kill the murderers of the Americans. I even saved so many Americans. What other motives could I have? Hawaiian is just a small country. We just want to survive."”
William heaved a sigh of relief." Then, I hope Your Highness can resume the transmission of the telegram. We need to send a message to the country and ask for instructions!”
The two of them left in a hurry, leaving Leo alone. Kamaiba helped Leo up and said," Mr. Leo, I think if you didn't insist on going your own way, we wouldn't have fought. Look at them, they would be fine. I don't want war. We only want peace, but you Americans don't give us a chance. You want to colonize us, but we won't agree!"”
Leo moved his lips to say something, but Kamaiba ignored him and continued,"Go and see the innocent American people. I think they must be frightened and need your comfort.”
Leo walked out of the palace unsteadily, and was greeted by the brilliant morning sun!
