After helping with the matter of the palace, Qin Ge found Kered to discuss the warship.

"I suggest you use a ship type like China Zhiyuan, which has both speed and firepower." Kered recommended Qin Ge to use Zhiyuan's ship type.

To be fair, Zhiyuan is still very good. It has a speed of 18 knots, 3 210mm Krupp breech guns, and a cruising range of more than 6,000 nautical miles, but the firing speed is too slow. It takes at least one minute to shoot a 210mm gun.

Qin Ge looked at a few drawings and finally followed Kerr's advice.

Qin Ge said: "Change the cannon into four 150mm40-caliber rapid-fire cannons, the 210mm cannon has a slow fire rate."

"150mm 40x tube rapid-fire cannon? That would be much less powerful." Kerred said.

"Your Majesty, do you understand the Navy?"

"Oh, no, no, I just think the power of the 150mm cannon is much smaller than that of the 210mm."

"I bought a boat just to patrol the coast and defend, and I don't need a cannon with great power." The cannon with great power is made by himself, so I don't have to buy yours at all.

"It's up to you!"

"By the way, my cash is not enough to pay the warship's money now, so I want to use gold..."

"Gold! That's better!" No one will reject gold! And directly using gold to pay can increase gold reserves.

"That's easy."

"By the way, the American Minister Rossi has looked for me."

"Oh? Then what did he say?"

"He hopes you can spare those sugar merchants' lives."

"That's all?"

"Only this one!" Curred stretched out a finger.

"No problem, but their property will be confiscated, and my people are already counting the property."

"Oh, that's not my business." Curred shrugged.

"By the way, the Queen will announce the Hawaii* in the palace in two days. I hope the Minister will not forget."

"Of course! Mr. Qin hasn't signed the order contract yet!" Kerred smiled.

"Oh, your magistrate is really straightforward! Let's take a look at the contract, well, the total price is 3.7 million pounds, 96% off, I'll calculate..."

"Ahem," Kerred almost took the teacup to his mouth and put it down, "Mr. Qin, 3.7 million is a discount!"

"Oh, well, I will hand over the boiler design drawings to you in two days, and I will sign the contract and pay the deposit."

"I'm not late."

"Yeah," Qin Ge smiled, "I'm going to go to find Minister Bright, so I'll leave first."

"Go slowly."

After Qin Ge left, Kerr carefully settled the contract, which was his political capital.

Qin Ge then went to the German Embassy. Unlike the situation in the British Embassy, ​​Qin Ge readily signed the contract for selling alcohol. This was a contract for money!

After dealing with the Yingde Minister, Qin Ge began to threaten the sugar merchants to hand over the sugar factory. Qin Ge's people found a lot of cash in the homes of the sugar merchants. Qin Ge can understand that the current bank has to pay interest in depositing money, and ordinary merchants who can afford to support the guards will not deposit money in the bank. However, the shares of the sugar factory must have a transfer agreement to be legal. In the choice of life and money, these smart merchants have made the right choice.

Two days later, the palace.

At this time, the palace had restored its former glory, the glass of the doors and windows had been replaced with new ones, and bullet holes on the walls were also filled.

The Hawaiian Palace is not like the imperial palace in Beijing, it is just the residence of the Queen of Hawaii.

At this time, the hall of the palace was very lively, and ministers from all countries were invited here.

Soon the queen appeared in costume, and all the ministers came to celebrate the queen's successful quelling of the rebellion, and the queen thanked them one by one.

After thanking the ministers of various countries, Lirio Calani immediately began to announce: "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the truth of this incident is very clear. If I had not obtained the help of my son-in-law, maybe I had been imprisoned somewhere now! This time it made me realize that Hawaii is no longer suitable for being a neutral country. Hawaii must have an army so that it can ensure the stability of Hawaii! Therefore, I hereby announce that Hawaii will cancel neutrality from today!"

After the Queen finished speaking, Curid stood up immediately. Everyone thought Curid must have opposed Lerio Calani, but they did not expect Curid to say such words: "The British Empire absolutely supports Hawaii's cancellation of neutrality, and has accepted the Queen's request to order 10 cruisers from our country!"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was like this! No wonder Britain supported Hawaii, it turned out to be millions of pounds!

By the way, where can Hawaii's finances take out millions of pounds?

Lirio Calani just mentioned her son-in-law, who is her son-in-law? Why didn’t you see it?

Qin Ge was not in the palace. He knew that going to be the focus would definitely be, so he thought about it and still didn't go.

Even Bright was surprised. Unexpectedly, Qin Ge actually ordered 10 cruisers in one go! This guy is really rich! He must knock him down!

He stood up and said: "Germany's decision is the same queen. Germany will sell everything that Hawaii needs, whether it is guns, cannons or military machinery!"

After Bright finished speaking, he looked at the Russian Minister Chryswsky. Kryswsky stood up and said, "Russia also expressed its support for Hawaii's **." Bright had come to him before and sold 10% of the alcohol obtained from Qin Ge to Russia at international prices.

In addition to the US Minister Rossi and French Minister Capita, other countries expressed their support for Hawaii**. French Minister Capitaa later expressed his support for Hawaii, and he must be consistent with Russia.

At this time, except for the United States, the ministers of all other countries had already recognized Hawaii. Even though they were not willing, the most powerful countries in Europe expressed their support. If they did not express their opinions, it would be equivalent to opposing several European powers, which is not a good thing.

Lirio Calani didn't care about the United States, she said: "I am very grateful for the support of all countries. Now Hawaii has truly achieved the highest level. After the ships ordered from the UK come back, Pearl Harbor will be used as a military port for Hawaii. So at that time, warships anchored in Pearl Harbor from various countries will be invited to the port west of Honolulu. I will invest about 800,000 pounds in Pearl Harbor to build a defense project. After discussing with my son-in-law, I decided to hand over this project to the rigorous Germans. I wonder if Germany accepts it?"

800,000 pounds! Bright was knocked unconscious by the pie that suddenly fell from the sky. He said dizzyly: "Of course, of course!"

The ministers from all over the country looked at Bright with envy. This was 800,000 pounds!
