    Above the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian Islands.  *///*

    Between the blue sea and sky, there are soaring sand gulls, the sound of waves, and rolling waves. The entire Hawaiian Islands are wrapped in a blue, like an overseas fairy island. The coconut groves and sugar cane groves on the islands are surging with the sea breeze, like  Green waves usually rise and fall in the sea breeze.

    Ye Zugui and a group of senior officers of the Pacific Fleet were waiting on the pier of Pearl Harbor early. On the side of the Chinese navy and army officers, many local officials from the Hawaiian Kingdom stood in line waiting, and a large group of Hawaiian Polynesian men and women dressed in costumes  , are ready to welcome the celebrations, and thousands of Hawaiian Chinese are standing on both sides of the pier.

    The person Ye Zugui greeted this time was none other than Chinese President Tang Jian. When Tang Jian came to Hawaii this time, he would sit here and command the Chinese navy, army and air force to fight against the United States in Hawaii. Ye Zugui knew that Tang Jian acted in a low-key manner and did not like extravagance and waste.  , Ye Zugui had no intention of holding this welcoming event, but the officials in the Hawaiian Kingdom did not think so.  They believed that this was the first time that Tang Jian came to Hawaii after the restoration of Hawaii. As a satellite state of China, it was necessary for Hawaii to hold a grand welcome event for the president of the suzerain country to show the Kingdom of Hawaii's respect for the suzerain country of China.

    Moreover, the Queen of Hawaii also agreed to this grand welcome ceremony. Ye Zugui could not refuse the hospitality, so he had no choice but to nod and agree to this grand welcome ceremony.

    A moment later, where the blue sky and sea intersected, a group of densely packed black dots appeared in everyone's field of vision. Ye Zugui raised his telescope and looked at it, and said happily: "It's the president's fleet!"

    The arrival was the fleet led by Tang Jian. Tang Jian and Wang Jianchuan were standing on the deck of the flagship. Wang Jianchuan pointed at the huge crowds of people at Pearl Harbor in the distance and said with a smile: "President, look, there are many  People welcome you!"

    Tang Jian looked in the direction of Wang Jianchuan's finger, and sure enough he saw on the pier of Pearl Harbor, in addition to Ye Zugui and other navy and army officers and officials from the Kingdom of Hawaii, there were also many Polynesians in costumes and Chinese who were looking forward to it.

    After Tang Jian saw this formation, he was not too happy, but frowned slightly. Is today's ostentation a bit too big?  Tang Jian had already sent a telegram to Ye Zugui before he came, asking him not to be too extravagant. Unexpectedly, the current scene was even more extravagant than he imagined.

    More than a hundred ships were slowly moored on the shore of Pearl Harbor. The workers on the dock had already begun to prepare for unloading. Tang Jian led a dozen lone wolves, including Chen Chusheng and Wang Jianchuan, down the gangway one after another. "Salute!"  On the pier, following Ye Zugui's order, all the Chinese navy and army officers on the Pearl Harbor pier performed a military salute.

    Tang Jian raised his right hand to his brow and said, "Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!"

    Ye Zugui had already felt the displeasure on Tang Jian's face. After the salute, Ye Zugui walked to Tang Jian and said apologetically: "President, I originally arranged your arrival in a low-key manner, but these officials from the Kingdom of Hawaii strongly  It is requested that the welcome ceremony should be more solemn to show Hawaii¡¯s respect for China.¡±

    Tang Jian felt doubly amused: "Respect for China does not need to be in this superficial form, right? Remember, you are now the top military commander of Hawaii. There is no need to listen to the opinions of those Hawaiian officials. What you say is everything!"  It won¡¯t happen next time!¡±

    Ye Zugui smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, President."

    Tang Jian has known Ye Zugui for so long and knows his character well. He knows that Ye Zugui is embarrassed to offend others, so he agrees. Tang Jian does not mean to blame Ye Zugui, but just makes an insinuation. Although Hawaii  It is nominally a vassal state of China, but in fact China is the master of Hawaii. In Hawaii, China has the final say in everything. As the commander-in-chief of China in Hawaii, Ye Zugui can override the Queen of Hawaii, who is like an "overlord".  .

    Ye Zugui nodded and followed Tang Jian, recalling what Tang Jian had just said. As long as Ye Zugui was not too stupid, he would naturally understand the meaning of Tang Jian's words.

    At this point, the deal was done, so Tang Jian had no choice but to take things as they came and waved to the Polynesian natives dancing hula. The Chinese people on the side who had already been impatient rushed up one after another, wanting to shake hands with the great president of their motherland.

    Surrounded and protected by a dozen lone wolf soldiers, Tang Jian smiled and shook hands with the Chinese one by one.

    At this moment, Wang Jianchuan, who was following Tang Jianjian, was startled, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. Just like when he was at Tianjin Railway Station, Wang Jianchuan was now experienced in many battles and was not afraid of danger.  His intuition before arrival was extremely sensitive, and Wang Jianchuan immediately realized that this was a dangerous signal!

    ? ?Almost at the same time, Tang Jian also felt something strange like a needle on his back. Tang Jian paused in alertness. Wang Jianchuan scanned his eyes and saw a few Chinese and Polynesians among the crowd.  The gun was pointed at Tang Jian.

    "President, be careful!" Wang Jianchuan roared.

    The lone wolves are worthy of being the elite among the elites of the Chinese Army. Just as Wang Jianchuan's warning sounded, several lone wolves blocked Tang Jian's body with their bodies at almost the same time. The black stars around their waists were already in their hands. In an instant,  Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and the dense crowd screamed and ran in panic.  On the pier, gunfire flashed, bullet casings flew across the sky, and clouds of blood mist sprayed in the air. The gun battle was extremely fierce.

    When Ye Zugui and other senior officers of the Chinese navy and army reacted, the gun battle was over. The entire battle took less than three seconds. All the assassins fell in a pool of blood. Ye Zugui screamed and came to Tang Jian's side. Tang Jian had already  He fell to the ground, covered in blood, and Wang Jianchuan's right arm was bleeding profusely.

    Ye Zugui knelt beside Tang Jian, removed the corpses of at least four lone wolf soldiers from him, and said urgently: "President, are you okay?"

    The lone wolf is worthy of being the elite of the Chinese army. The moment Wang Jianchuan issued the first warning, five or six lone wolves blocked Tang Jian's body almost at the same time, and dozens of bullets were sprayed.  It hit the four or five lone wolf soldiers in front.

    These lone wolves were not only highly capable in combat, but also extremely loyal. When the danger came, they used their bodies to build a shield of flesh and blood for Tang Jian in time. Although Tang Jian was covered in blood, they were all loyal and brave ones.  Tang Jian's hair on the lone wolf soldier's body was intact.

    Tang Jian struggled to sit up and said, "I'm fine! Hurry up and catch all the other hidden assassins!"

    Tang Jian glanced at Wang Jianchuan, who was hanging on the side, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

    Wang Jianchuan didn't care and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury!" Then, Wang Jianchuan stood up and immediately directed other lone wolves to investigate suspicious persons in the chaotic crowd. In fact, there were seven assassins, three Chinese, and four  Every Polynesian had fallen in a pool of blood, and no assassin had escaped the trap.

    Tang Jian glanced at the bloody corpses of the lone wolf soldiers at his feet, and clenched his fists angrily. On the one hand, he was unwilling to accept the heroic death of these loyal lone wolf soldiers. On the other hand, each of these lone wolf soldiers  They are all elite soldiers trained by Tang Jian with countless efforts. Their strategic value is immeasurable. If not, they would have died in vain at the hands of a few assassins today!

    After receiving the order, the lone wolves immediately raised their guns and walked towards the assassins who fell to the ground. At this time, Tang Jian saw a decisive sneer on the corner of the mouth of one of the dying assassins. He took a closer look.  , every assassin has a bulge under his clothes.

    Tang Jian immediately shouted to several lone wolf soldiers: "It's dangerous, get out of there quickly!"

    Before he finished speaking, the dying assassin used his last strength to pull the fuse on his body. There was a loud bang. Tang Jian clearly saw that the few lone wolf soldiers closest to the assassin were instantly swallowed up in the flames.  Before Tang Jian had time to react, a huge explosion shock wave came.

    Tang Jian felt as if his chest was suddenly hit by a huge boulder. His whole body was lifted up by the huge explosion shock wave and flew backwards. Wang Jianchuan, Ye Zugui and others were also thrown away. After landing, Tang Jian felt  His ears were ringing, his eyes were black, everything in his sight was spinning, his chest was filled with discomfort, he could hardly breathe, and warm and sweet liquid began to flow from his forehead.

    Soon, Tang Jian saw countless people surrounding him, looking frightened and worried. A heartbreaking pain shot up from his forehead. Tang Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Tang Jian felt as if his whole body was falling apart. What he touched on his hand was a Hawaiian-specific straw mat. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was in a room with Hawaiian characteristics.

    "The president is awake!" Several surprised voices came.

    Tang Jian turned around and saw that Ye Zugui, Wang Jianchuan, Chen Chusheng and others were surrounding him. However, they looked extremely miserable. Everyone was basically covered in blood. Although they were wrapped in bandages, the blood stains were still visible.  .

    Tang Jian looked down and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that he himself was not much better. Not only was his body covered with bandages, but his forehead was also wrapped several times, making him look like an Arab.

    Wang Jianchuan slung his right arm in front of his chest and stepped forward and said: "President, fortunately you were scratched by shrapnel. You are not seriously injured. You will be fine after a few days of rest. You just have a slight concussion on your head."

    Tang Jian ignored this and asked: "How many people did Lone Wolf lose?"

    Wang Jianchuan's eyes darkened and he replied: "In addition to four killed on the spot by assassins, five were killed by bombs, two were seriously injured, and seven were slightly injured. Marshal Ye and I only suffered superficial injuries.  There were more than twenty other casualties.  "

    ps: Today¡¯s first and second updates are expected to be coded out at two o¡¯clock in the morning, so they will be postponed to noon tomorrow.  To save everyone the long wait.
