When the so-called Hawaii government-in-exile was established, it immediately aroused the anger of the upper classes in American society. Because since they have already eaten the big fat in their mouths, how can they spit it out? So of course they refuse to admit it now, especially the future of Hawaii is a very important place, which is related to the future strategy of the United States. If Hawaii is lost, the United States will completely lose control of the Pacific Ocean, so of course they can't bear it. Therefore, the Americans are very concerned about the control of the Pacific Ocean in the future. Of course, they cannot give up the control of the Pacific Ocean. Of course, they cannot tolerate the loss of Hawaii. As for Hawaii, they are already an overseas territory with the United States, and even now they are preparing to make a noise.

"The Special District of Hawaii is our overseas territory of the United States. At that time, the Special District of Hawaii was willing to merge with the United States in a referendum. This was carried out completely in accordance with international law. Therefore, the Special District of Hawaii is one of our inalienable territories, so we absolutely cannot Just ignore it. Hawaii is inseparable from us, so we will never tolerate some unknown Hawaiian queens to dictate our territory!" A US congressman said angrily.

This American congressman will obviously also express that it is impossible to restore Hawaii, especially this Hawaii is very important to their current US strategy. Even, no matter which country it is, it attaches great importance to its territory. If a country does not value its own territory, it will perish sooner or later. Territory has always been something that human beings rely on for survival. If there is no country with territory, many countries will fight for every inch of territory, and there is almost no room for negotiation.

It is impossible for them to hand over this American Hawaii, even if it is just an overseas special zone. These Americans. Although one mouth, one democracy and one fairness, even if they publicly expressed their "apology" to the overthrown Kingdom of Hawaii more than a hundred years later, this apology is actually the same as the emperor's sinful edict, but it is of no use. The United States also apologized for the Chinese workers and the Chinese Exclusion Act. But is it useful? In fact, in the final analysis, the bad things of the year have passed, and the US government has never seen compensation for those Chinese, even if they have a new burial. That is to say, the documents have been sent away, even if there is some support for those Chinese descendants.

Therefore, they even apologized to the so-called Kingdom of Hawaii back then. But in the end it was just an apology. Neither said anything about restoring the Kingdom of Hawaii, let alone how to deal with this Hawaii, a piece of waste paper for apology was resolved, and then nothing else. Even, not to mention that it is impossible for the Americans to agree to the independence of Hawaii, maybe the local Hawaiians are not willing to carry out "independence". After all, it is better to be a citizen of the United States than a citizen of a so-called independent country in the 21st century!

But it is different at present. Even if the Americans are weak in military strength, it is impossible to say no to a territory.

"We must improve our military strength, otherwise we will definitely face more insults to foreign countries. The Chinese have inserted their hands into our America. If we do not have sufficient military strength, then we will not be able to safeguard our interests in the Americas." !” Immediately, a councilor proposed a motion.

However, this bill has caused a lot of controversy, especially regarding the expansion of the U.S. military, which makes the capitalist consortia in the United States even more vigilant. In fact, don't think that only China has very strict control over the military, and the Yankees also have very strict control, especially those capitalists who know very well that the military is definitely a threat. Capitalists can influence the government, which is actually based on the fact that the US military is strictly controlled. If the U.S. government has enough military power, it will be enough to threaten the stability of American capitalists.

No matter how powerful the capital is, it may not be worth mentioning in front of these guns. So even the United States is very wary of the military. The U.S. military has been weak for so many years. In addition to not having a strong enemy to deter and train the military, there are certain circumstances in which the capitalists weaken the military intentionally or unintentionally. In most cases, American capitalists will never support the expansion of the army, even if the expansion is forced to expand. Even if the war is over, disarmament will be carried out immediately. The peak era of the U.S. military was during the Civil War, but once the war stopped at that time, they immediately carried out a "self-defeating martial arts" disarmament, abolishing a large number of veterans, and weakening the military supply. Army control. Even when there is no war the president is nominally the commander. But there is no way to mobilize a single soldier. Except for the fact that the Marine Corps had to give power to the president later based on the actual situation, at other times it had very strict control over the main force, and General Guting was unable to deploy troops during non-war periods.

The laws of the United States have very strict control over the military. Isn't it because they are afraid of the increase in military strength? The rotation of officers in the United States is even more frequent than that of most countries, in order to prevent an officer from controlling a unit for a long time, which may lead to the control of military power.

Under such a strict system, the U.S. Army has had no warlords for almost so many years, which is also their powerful side. But now someone proposed to expand the army, especially the strength of the army, which made the capitalists hesitate a little.

Although the capitalists are unwilling to rise to the power of the military and the power directly controlled by the government, their reality is the same. Wang Guorui's China has penetrated deep into the Americas, which makes Americans very disturbed. If there is not enough troops, the Americans will not be able to safeguard their interests in the Americas.

But on the other hand, once the government has too many military forces that are too powerful, will the increase in military spending weaken economic growth? This is the second thing. If the army is stronger, will it in turn increase the power of the government, and then let the army and the government cooperate to clean up the capitalists? No matter how powerful the capitalists are, they are still weak against the barrel of a gun, so this is also a risk.

This has put the capitalists in the United States into a situation where they are beating the wolf with a stick. On the one hand, they are afraid that Wang Guorui's intervention in the Americas will destabilize their interests. But on the other hand, they are also afraid that the strength of the army will increase, which will give the government too much bargaining capital.

"I don't agree with this method, I think we should proceed through other means! I don't think the Chinese will fight us for this, right? They are also unlikely to send hundreds of thousands of troops on an expedition, so that they There is no such condition at all, so I think Zeng’s method is not appropriate. I think it is better to use political means to solve it.”

"However, don't underestimate the ambitions of the Chinese. Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to safeguard our interests in America!"

"However, I've heard that the Chinese have always admired the weak kind of civil rule. They don't believe in strength in their bones. I don't think they will choose force to solve it?"

However, some congressmen immediately retorted: "I have a different opinion. Recently, I have seen the historical materials of the Chinese, especially every time China changes the government, that is, when the dynasty changes. They are completely competing for military power, that is, who controls it. The more powerful the army, the more they are the winners. They actually attach great importance to military power, and their regime is even based on military power and the army, not on the so-called democracy. Therefore, I think that the Chinese people actually They are more martial than the capital, and they all admire strength. So reason with them, and when it comes to absolute interests, they will not compromise, they will use force!"

If Wang Guorui heard what this congressman said, he would definitely think that he was right. Although many people may think that China is actually a country that advocates civilization, in fact, every time China changes dynasties, or whenever power changes, everyone often thinks of military power and the army at the first time.

It's not that the Chinese don't practice martial arts. Once the core interests are reached, the Chinese will never be stingy with force. As for why the Manchus made unprincipled concessions, it was not because they did not practice martial arts, but because their interests were in a different direction from those of ordinary Chinese people, so the Chinese felt the pain~www.novelbuddy.com~For the Manchus All can be sacrificed, they are just to maintain their dominion. But once it really comes to the core interests, the first thing the Chinese think of is nothing else, but a solution by force instead of a peaceful solution. This is really ridiculous. Therefore, the Chinese people are actually the most martial arts in their bones, but they have not touched the core interests.

"I think we can elevate Hawaii from one of our overseas special zones to a state, so that we can express our importance to Hawaii. What do you think?" said a congressman.

Hearing this plan, it immediately won the support of the vast majority of members. Because those congressmen are actually very vigilant about the expansion of the army, especially since Wang Guorui's threat is far away, they are naturally unwilling to expand their strength. Wang Guorui didn't have the ability to go on an expedition to the United States, so they naturally didn't want to expand the strength of the army so quickly.

"Hey, to use a Chinese saying, you people don't cry until you see the coffin!" said the congressman who proposed to enhance the strength of the army, obviously very disappointed with this situation, but the interest groups behind it are currently unable to shake.
