However, after occupying the small island west of Kauai, Japan did not go further.
After all, further ahead is Oahu, which is the strategic focus of the United States in Hawaii and may trigger a war.
Although they did not have the guts to go further in Hawaii, Japan still used other methods to stimulate the United States and clearly told the United States that they had no legal basis in the Hawaiian Islands and that they were the aggressor.
On June 6, Japan announced the restoration of the Kingdom of Hawaii based on Kauai and Niihau, and urged the United States to cede the remaining Hawaiian Islands to its original owners.
The new King of Hawaii, Kamehameha VI, is a branch of the Japanese royal family. In order to enhance their legitimacy, they also secretly took in the old queen Liliuokalani, who was originally childless, and let her Accept the new king as your son.
The method used by the United States to annex Hawaii was originally illegal. It was just some Americans in Hawaii who walked alone and took it by force.
The U.S. Congress did not admit it at first and was prepared to return Hawaii to its original owner. However, the old queen let the opportunity slip because of her willfulness, causing the expansionists in the U.S. government to quickly settle on the actual possession.
"Your Majesty, the Japanese government hopes that we will recognize the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Hawaii and hopes that we can cooperate with them to persuade European countries to also recognize it."
In the Rainbow Palace, Prime Minister Constantine reported Japan's request for diplomatic assistance to Pedro III.
After Tangning Pedro learned about Japan's request, he recalled the Japanese virtues in his past and present lives, and couldn't help but curse these bastards in his heart.
'Little Japan is really able to push the envelope, and when it sees a favorable situation, it can really take advantage of it.
I just hoped that the Japanese would further deteriorate the relationship with the United States by occupying Wake Island, but I didn't expect that these bastards actually believed that international diplomacy would be beneficial to them, and dared to extend their hands to Midway Island and the Hawaiian Islands.
The Kingdom of Hawaii, to put it nicely, most of its citizens are of Japanese descent, but it is actually a puppet regime. However, although it is shameless, this trick is indeed enough to prevent the United States from coming to power.
Little Japan has really had enough fun playing with the puppet regime. It is true that the dog’s moral behavior in history cannot be changed! '
However, Pedro cursed in his heart, but he still decided to support Japan.
“Reply the message to Japan, we in Portugal will still stand on their side this time and cooperate with them to convince other European countries, just like the last Wake Island incident.
By the way, let Japan remember to send envoys from the Kingdom of Hawaii to various countries around the world to request the establishment of diplomatic relations, and do all the drama.
In order to enhance the legitimacy of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Portugal will send relevant envoys to Kauai.
Also tell Japan that they should build infrastructure on Kauai, especially the port. In the future, transatlantic ships will try to stay there instead of Oahu. "
"Your Majesty, are we too good to Japan? This will make other powers think that we want to form an alliance with Japan." Constantine said.
In Constantine's view, His Majesty the Emperor is too friendly to Japan. In the past, it was only economic preferential treatment, but now it also treats Japan greatly in military and diplomatic terms.
Such a performance by His Majesty the Emperor will make countries around the world misunderstand that Portugal will form an alliance with Japan.
“Let them misunderstand, this is exactly what I need.
Japan is very important to Portugal. Although their economic value is limited, their military and diplomatic value is very high.
But Constantine, you have to remember one thing, we Portugal will not ally with any country, that is not necessary, it will drag us into a war, but we can achieve it through ambiguous means such as military, economic, and diplomatic preferential treatment. some purpose. "
To be honest, Portugal has now gained dominance over South America, the Imbian Peninsula, and part of Africa. It can be said that its strategic goals have almost been completed.
Today, as long as Portugal settles the remaining resistance in South America, its right to speak in the world will be decisive.
Tangning Pedro has never expected Portugal to dominate the world. That is unrealistic, but if Portugal is allowed to occupy an important position in the world and establish local hegemony, it is still possible to compete with the United States north and south.
"We in Portugal do not want to participate in Japan's military diplomacy in the Far East. The Far East is not the focus of our interests, but we must actively promote Japan's dispute with the United States in the Pacific, even if we sacrifice some interests.
Although Portugal looks big now, it is actually very weak and industrialization has not been completed.
Now Portugal can superficially confront the United States in the North and South divisions of the American continent, just because the United States has not fulfilled their potential.
The United States is more industrialized than us, has a larger population, and a larger economy than us. In other words, its territory is smaller than ours, and its national issues are bigger than ours.
This is a terrible enemy. No matter how cautious you are when facing him, it is necessary to make more enemies for him. That is what we have to do.
Those who can cause trouble for the United States are Japan and the United Kingdom. However, the United Kingdom has little dispute with the United States now, and the United States does not have the courage to annex Canada. Although Japan is small, it can actually interfere with and threaten the United States' strategy. expansion.
Therefore, for Japan, we in Portugal must support their navy and help them economically to get rid of their influence on the United States, so that they dare to compete with the United States for interests. "
In fact, there are some things Tangning Pedro did not say, that is, sooner or later, Britain will decline due to the two wars and go back to the British Isles. Even Ireland dares to sing against him.
And Japan will also decline in World War II and become a lackey of the United States.
But in this world, Tang Ning wants to turn Japan into Portugal's loyal Akita dog and make a big profit.
At the Allied Conference of World War II, although the three giants of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union planned the world, in fact the United States and the Soviet Union had gradually begun to become polar opposites.
During World War II, Portugal of course wanted to join the Allies, so Portugal also had a share in dividing the spheres of influence.
What Portugal has to do is to gain control of Japan, no matter what method it is, even if it means giving up its interests in Germany and Italy, or even colluding with the Soviet Union.
Japan has been an important part of the world since the Meiji Restoration. Even after losing World War II, Japan has not fallen off the world stage.
Let the United States control Japan, with Japan as a blood bag, and Britain and the Commonwealth countries as lackeys, Portugal's capital against the United States will be small.
However, if Japan becomes Portugal's dog and blood bag, it will be able to straighten its back when facing the United States.
Before the real rise of the great Eastern powers in the 21st century, Japan is of course the most powerful force that can provide Portugal with energy to fight against the United States.
From now on, Tangning Pedro will treat Japan as a pet Akita, cultivating a good relationship and making it easier to use him in the future.
