The third part of the book tells about the hopeless struggle of the tiny republic with England. Expecting fatal troubles for the country from England, Gusev is in a hurry to make peace with Japan, and he miraculously succeeds. Friends are spending a lot of money to delay the British military operation. They manage to delay the attack for a year. Ershov’s engineering talent allows him to bring to working condition the project of the U-2 aircraft, which Buzov has been building for two years already. Pilots for the first dozen aircraft are being secretly trained on the islands. The first squadron of the British disappears in the ocean without a trace. Foreign spies living on the islands did not note any particular activity of the Hawaiian fleet or losses on its part, so the disappearance of the squadron was explained by the recent typhoon. This makes it easier for Klyachkin to conduct propaganda against sending a new landing party to the Hawaiian Islands. The British operation in Sudan is extremely difficult, the construction of the railway is delayed.
