Chapter 156: Not Afraid of Sleeping in the Wrong Bed, but Afraid of Standing in the Wrong Team
Economic sanctions... Forget it, no one knows who is imposing sanctions now. Over the past few years, the South China Sea Federation has gradually become the world's largest exporter of steel, rubber, medical supplies, fertilizers and pesticides.
is a country that exports petrochemical products. In addition, the South China Sea Federation is engaged in automobile manufacturing and electrical appliance manufacturing.
They are also major exporters in terms of manufacturing, textiles, precision machinery, etc.; if you want to economically sanction the South China Sea Federation, you must first sanction the domestic companies that import these materials. Let alone kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
Well, if you really do this, it will be equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and losing ten thousand to yourself. The economies of all countries simply cannot bear it.
Anger is anger. The devil of war cannot be provoked easily. After weighing the pros and cons of each, the British government decided not to continue to entangle with the South China Sea Federation on ethnic issues. It asked the Thai government and the South China Sea Federation to give in and let those who stayed in Thailand
The Vietnamese-Cambodian retaliation in the territory was handed over to the federal government to quell this unsuccessful harassment operation.
However, the British government clearly once again underestimated the madness of Liu Fu, the hated president. When the Thai government publicly announced that it partially accepted the conditions of the South China Sea Federal Government in accordance with the British government's wishes and hoped that the two sides would negotiate, the diplomacy of the South China Sea Federation
At the press conference, the spokesman of the ministry only made one action: he raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and then said: It is 11:23 on February 24, 1927, and the Thai government is at the end of the road stipulated by the federal government.
There are less than 20 hours left before the deadline!
Faced with the South China Sea Federation's unreasonable and unforgiving attitude, the British had no choice. They were responsible for this incident in the first place, but now they want to pursue it to the end. They cannot bear the blame themselves, so the Thai government was treated as cannon fodder.
, was directly abandoned.
Only then did the Thai government think of the wolf-like Federal Army on the Malay Peninsula in the past few years, the Federal Navy that defeated the British and American fleets, and why it was so stupid to leave a powerful
My neighbor refused to hug me and insisted on hugging the broken leg that was far away. It was too late to regret. The King of Thailand held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss what should be done.
In response to this upcoming war, these peaceful people who believe in Buddhism have a very incomplete understanding of war. They continued the discussion until the next morning and did not come to a specific conclusion. As a result
Not only did it fail to prevent the outbreak of war, it didn't even have time to consider how to defend its borders, and directly set up an empty city plan for the federal army.
There was neither a decree from the king nor an order from the central government. Facing the federal armored vehicles and heavy machine guns, the commanders of the Thai garrison looked at the single-shot rifles and banana machetes in the hands of their own soldiers. Most of them were sane.
chose not to resist, and the Thai people were even more gentle. They neither organized any resistance groups nor destroyed kilometers and bridges. Only a few monks from the temple came forward to request the federal army not to occupy the temple.
The two vanguard regiments of the Federal Army set out from Bobiet and Vientiane respectively, marching from the north to the south. It took them one day to advance 60 kilometers and 80 kilometers respectively. It was basically time to march and receive the surrendered troops. The Federal Army
The army does not disturb the normal life of Thai people, and the Thai people pay no attention to these federal soldiers dressed in fancy clothes. Both sides are doing their own thing, and no one pays attention to the other.
Compared with the federal army's rapid progress, the federal navy has become sluggish this time. They first blocked the Gulf of Thailand, and then sent two destroyers to the mouth of the Chao Phraya River. They fired a few shots at will to disperse the people cruising nearby.
fishing boats, and then stood still.
In fact, it's not that the Navy doesn't want to move, but that the Ministry of National Defense and Liu Fu are suppressing the Navy from moving. Bangkok is only 20 kilometers away from the Chao Phraya River's estuary. If the Navy really wants to occupy Bangkok, it can let the Marines attack the large areas on both sides of the Chao Phraya River.
Landing on the plain, the destroyers then entered the Chao Phraya River and sailed upstream, advancing both on land and water. According to the strength of the Thai army, it is estimated that Bangkok will be fully occupied in less than a day.
However, Liu Fu didn't want to do this. This time the federal government suddenly took advantage of the Popet incident. Its purpose was not to annex Thailand, but to use this opportunity to fully control Thailand, drive away other foreign forces, and make Thailand worthy of its name.
As a buffer zone between the Federation and India. In addition, Liu Fu also wanted to take this opportunity to let the federal army conduct a practical exercise. After all, there has not been a war for several years, and the federal army can only rely on a few times a year.
During the exercise to simulate actual combat, the state of the army dropped very quickly.
However, the performance of the Thai Army made Liu Fu and the Federal Ministry of Defense very, very disappointed. There was no resistance wherever the Federal Army went, not even the guerrillas. You can't use ordinary people as targets to test new weapons. Even if Liu Fu
If Fu Xia is so cruel, the officers and soldiers at the front may not be able to do so. If
If the federal navy occupied Bangkok again at this time, Liu Fu was deeply afraid that the Thai king would become desperate and abdicate directly, leaving Thailand to the federal government in the South China Sea. He didn't care. Liu Fu really didn't want this land, and he really didn't want it.
The people who rule here are so docile that they cannot bear to shoot at the enemy.
Fortunately, the King of Thailand is not a ruthless person. On the second day of the war, Thailand announced that it would agree to all the requests made by the federation and request the federation to stop military operations. This was basically equivalent to surrender. After hearing the news, Liu Fu
This is depressing. The purpose of military training has not been achieved. Thailand surrendered so quickly and so completely that Liu Fu himself felt embarrassed. It was such a crime to bully such a country and there was no happiness at all.
But the troops have been sent out and military expenditures have been spent. Thailand is already poor. Their country’s only wealth is the gold and precious stones on the Buddhas in countless temples. The federal government is not so poor that it can rob other people’s Buddha statues.
, the rest is rice and fruits, which are abundant in the Federation itself, are not worth much, and are troublesome to transport.
Liu Fu looked at the map carefully and decided not to ask for any financial compensation. In addition to the previous request, the federal government had the right to send an investigation team into Thailand to check whether there were still anti-Southern forces. Liu Fu also participated in the peace talks between the two parties.
One of the basic requirements is to divide the actual federal occupation area in eastern Thailand into a jointly managed area, which will be managed by government officials jointly dispatched by Thailand and the South China Sea Federation. The excuse is to establish a buffer zone between the two countries to avoid similar incidents again.
Pobiet attack.
The area currently occupied by the federal army is roughly a straight line drawn in the north-south direction from Vientiane in the north to Popet in the south. To the east of the line is the occupied area, and to the west of the line the federal army has not yet entered. It is said that the two countries are jointly managed, but in fact
How can a victorious country and a defeated country co-administer a region equally? This is just a pretense. If you say it to outsiders, you want to talk about ceding, occupying, etc. It sounds so ugly. It seems that the South China Sea Federation is bullying others.
The King of Thailand now has no other choice but to agree to these conditions. At the beginning of the war, the British government, which had promised to be his strong backing, had already abandoned him early. Other countries just shouted it in the newspapers.
There is no sexual help, and the king himself does not believe that he can succeed if he wants to rely solely on Thailand's own strength to resist the attack of the South China Sea Federation. He knows best the temper of his own people.
Seeing that a large piece of the eastern part of his country fell into the hands of other countries, the king felt uncomfortable. However, he did not hate the South China Sea Federation. This matter was originally initiated by the British. It was only his fault that he had not done so in the first place.
Understand the situation clearly. If you offend the neighbor who should not be offended for the sake of a villain who is as far away from you as possible, you should be punished.
So, after a day and a half of marching and more than a month of peace talks, this war that was barely considered a formal war between South China and Thailand was over. The South China Sea Federation dispatched more than 30,000 people, more than 20 warships, and injured 2 people.
, achieved the final victory; while the Thai side lost a total of 7 people, injured 2 people, and captured more than 4,000 people, and was finally defeated. More than 800 square kilometers of Thailand's eastern land were divided. (To be continued...)
