A theoretical situation.
I fly from Honolulu International to the Bejing but my private jet gets fuel starvation and then I land on the Wake Island airstrip.
What happens next? Would the military give me fuel or they would give me shelter and tell me to stay? Did such things ever happen?

Wake Island has had aircraft divert there before, as it serves as an ETOPS diversion airport.
Per the remarks on AirNav and the NOTAMs:
RSTD: VERY LIMITED OPERATIONS STATUS, AVBL FOR EMERG LDG AND MIN PRIORITY TFC.
TRAN ALERT: SVCG FEES RQD. TRAN SVC HRS 2000-0400Z (0800L-1600L) TUE-SAT. CLSD SUN, MON, HOL.
FUEL: FLIGHT CREW REQUIRED TO ASSIST IN REFUELING. J5(MIL). FLUID - W, SP, PRESAIR.
It's possible you could plan to fly through there with prior permission, as with most military fields. AirNav reports 2% of the average of 49 operations per day are transient general aviation, so it's rare but not unheard of.
If your emergency is just that you forgot to have enough fuel, you should be able to get more fuel and depart again, for a fee. If there is a fuel leak or some other maintenance issue, you could be in for a longer stay.
RSTD: NO AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE AVBL.
As with the airliner that diverted, the airline will have to fly in maintenance equipment and personnel for any work that needs to be done.
You should be in contact with Oakland ARTCC through San Francisco ARINC in the oceanic airspace, and can call base operations ahead of time to advise of your needs. If it's outside of their normal staffing hours, they need at least 30 minutes notice to open back up.

Landing at a military base is not off limits to civilian aircraft but typically requires some pre-approval. In an emergency situation (and declared over the radio) most military facilities will be helpful. If you came diving in with out any radio announcements and on an apparent crash course the situation may not play out in your favor. But a stable glide in approach with announcements should be safe. You will have lots of questions to answer on the ground though.
I’m sure you will be scolded quite a bit for departing without enough fuel and an FAA/NTSB incident report will need to be filled out.
Fuel may be a bit tricky (although I’m sure you can get some). If it’s a base there may be no way to actually sell you the fuel as the military is not really a retailer. It’s likely that you will have to submit some forms etc etc but it’s unlikely they will keep you stranded.
