Chapter 26: The Fury of Japan and America

  In later years, the United States used armed coercion and commercial pressure to force the Queen of Hawaii to abdicate, thereby achieving its goal of completely occupying and controlling Hawaii, making it a major military base for the US in the Pacific.

  Now, as Zhou Yu bought most of Hawaii's industries from the Spanish, and the Spanish have felt that today's Hawaii is about to become a burden on the empire. The Spanish do not value energy-less Hawaii very much. The US values it highly but its hands are too short, and its early conspiracy was also ruined by Zhou Yu, so it gave Zhou Yu a great bargain.

  Soon after, another vicious incident occurred in Hawaii where a Japanese ronin raped a native Hawaiian girl, resulting in a protest march by the entire island's indigenous residents, shouting slogans: "Down with Little Japan", demanding severe punishment for the perpetrator.

  Caused a large number of physical clashes between the Japanese and native Hawaiians, during which a very excited Japanese ronin accidentally pushed a Native Hawaiian while gesturing.

  The indigenous man suddenly died of a stroke, and the beehive was opened. People at that time didn't know what caused the stroke! So the Hawaiian natives were excited to take up arms, fortunately, Zhang Long's marine corps arrived at the scene in time and controlled the situation.

  In the end, after mediation by all parties, the deceased's family received $300,000 in compensation, the native girl received $100,000 in compensation, and more than 20,000 Japanese immigrants were expelled from Hawaii. The Japanese became the least welcome ethnic group among all Hawaiian people.

  In fact, the so-called 'indigenous girl who was raped' is usually a red-light woman, and she comes out to sell. However, after some people with ulterior motives secretly manipulated it, the buyer and seller eventually became the victimized side of the girl. In the protest march, there were a small number of people who had taken advantage of it, including the so-called indigenous girl who was raped.

  Hawaii is now firmly under Zhou Yu's control, and he begins to build secret military bases, laboratories, and armories on the islands of Hawaii.

  Pearl Harbor was again expanded: a large number of ship repair yards, dry docks, fuel supply stations, steel mills, precision machinery factories, submarine bases, wharfs and necessary naval facilities were built. The base had hundreds of giant anti-aircraft guns.

  Pearl Harbor, considered by Zhou Yu as the forward base of the North Pacific, received great attention from the Zhongyong Army. After its completion, Pearl Harbor became Zhou Yu's most important naval base in the North Pacific region.

  After its completion, the Pearl Harbor waters cover an area of over 30 square kilometers, with an average depth of about 16 meters. It can accommodate up to 500 warships and provide repair and maintenance services for large naval vessels such as battleships and cruisers.

  There is an island in Pearl Harbor with a Tesla Future Power Lab and some important labs of the Zhou Yu Group. The surroundings are heavily guarded.

  Inside the secret room in the mansion east of Tanshanshan.

  A few Japanese ronin had faces as pale and dejected as if they had lost their parents.

  "Eight! Was that native pig really killed by Tarō-kun? Where did Tarō-kun's people go?" The several rōnin all shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

  "Why did that native die in front of Tarō-kun? Did his master summon him or something?"

  Saying that, the atmosphere in the village of Fukutoku suddenly turned tense as the two ronin in front of him slapped each other: "Do you know? You've ruined the Emperor's great plan! The Hawaiian Islands are a must-have for the Empire, and they're the best stepping stone for plundering resources in South America."

  "What am I supposed to report to the Emperor now? Are you all a bunch of stupid pigs? Has anyone found out who did it?"

  "Report to the major, no!" One of the leading ronin shook his head and reported in a low voice. "Then we can only die for the Emperor, for the great cause of Great Japan Empire!" shouted Sohaya no Fukutaro.

  "Hurray!" The eyes of the onlookers sparkled with excitement, while a certain someone outside the private room felt triumphant in their scheme. In fact, that Tarō fellow had also been secretly reconciled by that same person.

  Later, when people came to repatriate the Japanese, they found that more than 10 Japanese had died in a secret room in the Changtian Villa east of Tanshshan, suspected of having committed seppuku.

  A large amount of data unfavorable to Hawaii was found in the villa, and it turned out that this group of Japanese people were special agents of the Japanese intelligence department who came with a secret mission to subvert the Hawaiian government.

  The conditions under which Zhou Yu could move the Queen were, apart from military strength, also the large number of documents provided by Zhou Yu to Her Majesty about the US and Japanese governments adopting big businessmen and military coercion to overthrow the Hawaiian government.

  Zhou Yu's mind already had specific information about the Hawaii incident, so with Zhou Yu's skills, stealing the file would be a piece of cake.

  Her Majesty was shocked and terrified after reading the intelligence provided by Zhou Yu, and immediately decided to entrust the Hawaiian Islands to Zhou Yu's Huaxia Zhongyong Army. That's why a series of things happened after the military exercise.

  The Japanese government and the US government don't know about the leak! How could they possibly know; that there is a super pervert like Zhou Yu? So it's normal to suffer in silence.

  The events in Hawaii led to the downfall of U.S. President James Garfield, who was rumored to have been assassinated shortly after, and was succeeded by Chester A. Arthur as the 21st President of the United States.

  Chester A. Arthur was a staunch abolitionist and took a nonpartisan stance after taking office, overseeing the passage of the notable Pendleton Civil Service Act.

  Chester A. Arthur also attached great importance to the construction of the navy, which made the navy develop greatly. He adopted an "enlightened" policy, such as abolishing the "spoils system".

  At the end of 1982 and the first half of 1983, a large-scale financial storm broke out in the United States.

  One of the reasons for its outbreak was due to previous policies, which resulted in a trade surplus and a fiscal surplus of $65.9 million for the US government in 1898 alone.

  The huge fiscal surplus has caused dissatisfaction with the heavy tariffs, and the Democratic Party also took the opportunity to put pressure on Congress to demand tariff reduction reforms.

  But internationally, after Germany and Italy achieved unification, they began to emulate the United States, implementing tariff protection for foreign trade in order to promote their own economic development. Britain and France also implemented trade protection.

  This further triggered the trend of Europe's transition from free trade to trade protection, which made the US federal government dare not to change its protection policy arbitrarily, and also provided an excuse for tariff protectionists, making it difficult for the reform of reducing tariffs to proceed smoothly.

  On the other hand, the economic prosperity in the United States led to speculation and over-investment, a decline in railroad construction, consumption capacity less than production capacity, followed by financial crisis; The American trust giants developed on a large scale, covering industries such as railroads, oil, sugar, meat processing, coal, and wine.

  This time, the US financial storm, Zhou Yu was well-prepared. He had long entrusted Hu Xueyan and Huang Feihong with 150 million pounds he had raised to use their connections in the US to enter the American stock market.

  Zhou Yu used financial leverage principles and some post-mortem operational techniques to make a big killing in the US stock market.

  Hu Xueyan himself was born into finance, but he admired Zhou Yu's extraordinary and sacred operating methods, as well as his grasp of timing that had reached the pinnacle.

  In order to keep the intelligence confidential, Zhou Yu himself rushed to the United States in secret during this period and personally participated in this money-snatching storm. The Chinese Nationalist Party members in the United States finally saw the dragon's tail but not its head, Zhou Yu, also known as Zhou Da Guan Ren.

  This operation was extremely risky, so Zhou Yu used multiple white accounts and accounts from multiple countries to conduct multiple secret transfers. The US government was furious when they discovered this, and the US intelligence agencies conducted a thorough investigation in secret, but ultimately couldn't find any clues, and had to give up in the end.

  Matching high risk is high income, from the start of Zhou Yu to the end of withdrawal, this time Zhou Yu got more than 900 million US dollars, exceeding Zhou Yu's expected value.

  Next, Zhou Yu again used Morgan Overseas Company and British Bartoldi Overseas Company (both of which were shell companies of Zhou Yu) to purchase $1.5 billion worth of refined energy products from various energy companies in the United States.

  Including finished iron, copper, aluminum, manganese, gold, nitrates and other metals and non-metals, diesel oil, gasoline, kerosene and other petroleum products, shipped to Hawaii, Vietnam, Taiwan for strategic material reserves.

  It's not possible to not buy finished goods! Our own productivity is still very low, Hawaii and Vietnam are both places with few resources. Once a war breaks out and the enemy blockades our sea routes, at that time we'll have no choice but to wait for death on this road.

  In this era, no country has consciously carried out strategic material reserves and protection, because the overall pattern of the world is still commercial, not wartime. However, world capitalism is also rapidly transforming from a stage of free competition to a stage of monopoly due to this reason. The struggle among Western powers for colonial territories and the division of the world's territory will become even more intense.

  In response to the domestic overproduction, massive product backlog, increasing worker unemployment and financial crisis, the government led by Chester A. Arthur prepared and passed the Chinese Exclusion Act.

  The Chinese Exclusion Act provided a safety valve for the government, which explained that it was due to the large number of Chinese laborers in the United States, resulting in a large number of unemployed workers.

  The implementation of the US Exclusion Act caused a sensation around the world. The storm also affected Hawaii, but Hawaii did not discriminate against Chinese like later generations, thanks to Zhou Yu's existence, this place is now a paradise for Chinese people.

  The Qing government did not make any statement regarding the US Chinese Exclusion Act. In contrast, Liu Yongfu, leader of the Black Flag Army in Vietnam and Chen Fang, Prime Minister of Hawaii, issued a formal protest on behalf of all Chinese people around the world to the US authorities. However, the US authorities ignored their protests and continued with their own ways.

  At that time, Chinese people all over the world began to pay attention to the Hoa Hieu Military and Hawaii Chen Fang. As a result, Chinese immigrants poured in from both places, bringing a large number of laborers and various talents to the loyal and brave army of Hawaii and Vietnam.

  Zhou Yu was also enjoying himself, but pleasure is fleeting, and serious matters still need to be attended to. Therefore, Zhou Yu did not stop his forward momentum.
