    "Put down your weapons and surrender without killing!"

    This roar was like thunder in the clear sky. With fire and gunshots all around, some unsteady soldiers slowly lowered their guns and prepared to give up resistance.

    Dole ordered: "Resist to the end!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a row of bullets came over, and the soldiers who had just obeyed the governor's order were shot into a hornet's nest before they even raised their guns.

    At this time, the U.S. military was already frightened. They had just received an order from General Grant to stick to the Governor's Mansion and be ready to rush to Pearl Harbor at any time.

    However, as soon as they entered their respective combat positions, the battle began. These attackers were like magic soldiers descending from the sky. They took the lead in blowing up their machine gun positions before the US military could react.

    Moreover, listening to the intensity of gunfire, the attackers were at least twice their strength. Caught off guard, the US troops guarding the Governor's Mansion retreated steadily and could only continue to shrink the defensive circle. Without the Governor's order, they  Had to stick to it.

    At this time, Dole had already been stunned by the sudden attack. Before he could issue a combat order, the invaders had already reached the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

    The speed of its attack is staggering!  Moreover, they were very familiar with the terrain of the Governor's Mansion, and judging from the pace of their attack, it seemed as if they had rehearsed it many times.

    With the sudden attack and the huge disparity in strength, some American soldiers had lost their sense of resistance and threw away their weapons, preparing to surrender.

    In their stable life in Hawaii, these American soldiers had long forgotten what war was like. With just a simple blow, these American soldiers were defeated. This caught Dole off guard. He did not expect that his soldiers would be so vulnerable.

    Seeing that he was trapped in a tight siege and unable to organize a new counterattack, Dole had no choice but to stand out from the Governor's Mansion with his entourage.

    When Dole stood in a row with the surrendered soldiers, the true face of the attacker was slowly revealed from the darkness.  After Dole saw the faces of these attackers, he immediately froze on the spot.

    These attackers who defeated the U.S. Army, which boasted itself as the world's strongest army, turned out to be a joint army of Chinese and Polynesians, the Chinese and Native Hawaiians that Dole once looked down upon the most!

    Dole really couldn¡¯t believe that this ragtag coalition could so easily defeat the defense line of more than 2,000 U.S. troops, these low-class people!  How dare you take advantage of the situation?  Dole cursed in his mind.

    At this time, the leaders of the coalition slowly walked out of the darkness. One was Chen Mingfa, the eldest son of the Chen family, and the original ruler of the Hawaiian Kingdom-Queen Liliuokalani.

    Dole was so surprised that he could not speak: "You"

    Queen Liliuokalani, who was already in her sixties at this time, snorted coldly and said, "You didn't expect that I would join forces with the Chinese, did you?"

    Dole shook his head and said: "This is not the first time you have cooperated with the Chinese. Didn't Chen Fang also marry the princess of your Hawaiian Kingdom? What I didn't expect was that you would still participate in such a thing at your age.  It has been more than ten years since you rebelled and subjugated the country, but your desire to restore the country is still undying!"

    Queen Liliuokalani looked up to the sky and laughed, two lines of tears dripping down her wrinkled face onto the land that was still stained with gunpowder smoke. Queen Liliuokalani sneered and said: "Humph! The hatred for the country's subjugation is irreconcilable.  , the reason why I am holding on till now is to see the Kingdom of Hawaii re-established with my own eyes. You despicable Americans, if you hadn¡¯t overthrown the Kingdom of Hawaii by force and oppressed us Polynesians wantonly, I would have used it.  Send our Polynesian people to war?"

    Dole lowered his head, gave a wry smile, and said: "Forget it, winner or loser, since you can mobilize armed forces to seize power at this critical moment, you must have been plotting with Tang Jian for a long time, right? And your Chen family, there has been no such thing since the beginning.  Are you okay?"

    Chen Mingfa said: "You Americans are all to blame for this. Who made you greedy and despicable, and have been discriminating and oppressing us Chinese? It is all because of you. Yes, our president has already planned this time since the last time he came to Hawaii.  Seize power with arms.¡±

    "Put it down and keep a close eye on it!" Chen Mingfa ordered, ignoring Dole.

    Two Chen family servants held Dole up and prepared to escort him away. Dole turned back and glanced at Queen Liliuokalani with a very complicated look, and said: "Oh, do you really think you have returned to the country? Huaxia  How could it not be the second America?"

    Queen Liliuokalani had no expression on her face, but waved the Astronomy Network!  "

    Soon, the Chinese and Polynesian coalition forces cleaned up the battlefield, and assigned part of the force to guard the Governor's Mansion, while the other part ambushed people from various places.U.S. reinforcements arrived.

    Later, they pursued troops. Tang Jian had already led a hundred marines to land, and the Governor's Mansion was in flames. At this time, Grant ran all the way towards the Governor's Mansion. The Governor's Mansion is the political center of the United States in Hawaii.  The center must not be lost, and there are two thousand elite troops in the Governor's Mansion. After seeing the attack on the Governor's Mansion, American troops from other places will definitely rush over to provide support.

    Grant¡¯s purpose was to rush over immediately and join forces with Dole¡¯s troops. As long as he gathered all the troops, he would take advantage of his familiarity with the terrain of Hawaii to fight fiercely with the Chinese troops who landed in order to delay the arrival of reinforcements.

    However, when Grant ran not far from the Governor's Mansion, he suddenly stopped. A soldier quickly asked: "General, why don't you leave?"

    Grant looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The gunshots at the Governor's Mansion are getting quieter and quieter, and it's too quiet here. The battle is so fierce. It's a bit unusual to be quiet here."

    As if it confirmed Grant¡¯s guess, as soon as he finished speaking, fires broke out everywhere and gunshots were fired. The soldiers around him died before they could react. He himself was also hit by a stray bullet in his left arm.

    Grant was shocked and quickly gathered his formation, reminding: "There is an ambush, hide quickly!"

    However, it was too late. The coalition forces had already surrounded Grant's troops and gradually narrowed the encirclement, hoping to annihilate Grant.

    Grant guessed the intentions of the coalition forces, and Grant was worthy of being a general who had reached this position through his own efforts. After his formation was slightly chaotic for a while, although he himself was injured, due to his efforts, the peace of the battle quickly fell.  Toward Grant's side.

    After all, Grant himself had experienced hundreds of battles, and although the coalition had been planning for a long time, it was their first time on the battlefield. In the battle at the Governor's Mansion, they completely bullied Dole, an idiot who didn't know how to command operations. Under Grant's command to counterattack, the encirclement was very small.  A gap was soon opened.

    Grant was keenly aware that if he stayed here, he would be slowly killed by these attackers hiding in the dark, so he decisively issued the order to break out.

    At this moment, Tang Jian led a hundred Marines to the ambush site in time and immediately entered the battle. The Marines were experienced in many battles and were more than enough to deal with these ordinary American soldiers.

    Although Grant's strength at this time was several times that of Tang Jian, fortunately, there were coalition forces assisting him. Soon, the encirclement was successfully encircled again. Grant led the American soldiers to fight and retreat. Soon he discovered that he no longer had any  retreat, and was surrounded by heavy siege.

    The enemy's reinforcements were rushing here quickly, and in a short time they formed an iron barrel-like encirclement. Just when Grant's heart was about to hit the bottom, and he concluded that there was no hope of breaking through, the enemy's gunfire suddenly stopped.

    Just when Grant was puzzled, Tang Jian's voice suddenly came from far away. Tang Jian said loudly: "General Grant, you have been trapped in a tight siege. Do you think you can break out? Even if you can break out, but  Even the Governor's Mansion has been captured by us, where are you going to flee? I advise you to surrender quickly. I respect you as a soldier. Please don't make unnecessary sacrifices. You know, I want to wipe out all of you, and I will never do that.  Just bring this little force! I just don¡¯t want too many casualties!¡±

    Grant looked at the remaining soldiers dejectedly. At this time, after two battles, there were less than 300 American soldiers left. It can be said that more than half of them were casualties and heavy losses. As Tang Jian said, he wanted to eliminate himself.  It's an absolute breeze.

    Grant could not see any hope in the eyes of the surviving soldiers. He knew that his soldiers had no intention of continuing to fight. The outcome was already clear, and any further fighting would only increase casualties.

    Tang Jian lit a cigarette leisurely and waited quietly for Grant's reply. Tang Jian was not worried that Grant would die for his country.

    The U.S. military is not like the Chinese corps in history. After knowing that there is no hope of victory, they will never hold the gun bag and shout: "Comrades, charge! For the victory of the motherland!" and fight with the last drop of blood.  , and finally die together with the enemy, striving to inflict maximum casualties on the enemy.

    Most U.S. soldiers think that if they continue to fight, they will undoubtedly die. But if they surrender, not only will they not die, but they will also be supervised and escorted as prisoners of war. In short, their lives will be safe.  After the U.S. government negotiates with the belligerent countries, they will eventually be released, which saves a life.

    Even Grant didn't want to die in this damn Hawaii, but his surrender was not a voluntary surrender. He fought hard. The reason for his surrender was that the enemy was too powerful and he had no hope of defeating him. Even if he went up in the future,  In military courts, judges will also judge??Innocent.

    After weighing the pros and cons, Grant decisively ordered his men to raise the white flag, and then dragged his injured body to surrender to Tang Jian.

    Tang Jian looked at the embarrassed Grant and smiled slightly: "Do you want to capture me alive?"

    Grant finally understood how ridiculous everything he had done was regarded as an extremely vulgar scheme. At this time, he was just a joke in Tang Jian's eyes.
