Siam was currently under the rule of the Charik dynasty, and the current king, Rama VI, was doing well. Although externally he was trying to make ends meet, struggling carefully to survive between Britain and France, internally he was working hard to govern, and he had even begun to implement compulsory education.
Make every effort to improve the quality of the people to cope with the increasingly dangerous international situation.
In fact, all the dangers in Siam came from Lan Fang.
The current territory of Siam is still relatively large, at least larger than that of Thailand in the future. Siam's territory includes not only Thailand, but also Myanmar and Cambodia. It is the only country in Southeast Asia that has not become a colony.
As a buffer zone between Britain and France, neither the British nor the French would take the initiative to attack Siam, so Lanfang was the only threat to Siam.
When Lan Fang was founded, King Rama VI did not realize that Lan Fang would be as powerful as it is now, so he did not even attend Qin Zhiyuan's enthronement ceremony. When Lan Fang defeated Japan, he became the largest power in Asia.
By that time, it was already too late for King Rama VI to establish a good relationship with Qin Zhiyuan. Although King Rama VI expressed his desire to visit Lanfang several times, he was never invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lanfang. Even Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhiyuan
The two prime ministers Huang Bohan and Lu Zhengxiang never visited Siam, which really made King Rama VI sleepless.
There is no peace either. Staying next to the fierce tiger in Lan Fang, even the British and French will feel the crisis, not to mention the Siamese.
In fact, the political situation in Siam is quite stable, but no matter in the East or the West, no matter how stable the political situation is, there will always be some people who are unwilling to be lonely and want to take advantage of the trend and do something. Siam is also facing this situation now.
Dilemma.
Gao Hongshi's work was still very efficient. Just before Qin Zhiyuan and Lyotai decided to attack Siam, Gao Hongshi had already begun to transfer personnel from the Lanfang National Security Bureau to Siam for preliminary work, which came in handy now.
Lan Fang also has a spokesperson in Siam. With the support of Gao Hongshi, General Somchai, the real power in Siam, has become the second-ranking figure in Siam. Since last year, he has been working hard to overthrow King Rama VI.
strive for dictatorship.
Dictatorship is a panacea.
Lanfang and Siam actually have the same political system, and they are both centralized countries. In Lanfang, this is a sign of clear government orders. In Siam, this is a symbol of obsolescence and pedantry. It must be overthrown in order to satisfy all the people.
wish.
Well, the citizens of Siam were easily represented, even without their knowledge.
Although there were internal responses, Qin Zhiyuan was still not careless, so he prepared enough troops and was ready to intervene in Siam's civil strife at any time.
The 2nd Infantry Division and the 13th Infantry Division will go to Desso tomorrow. As long as the opportunity arises, they will launch an attack on Siam at any time: at the same time, the second echelon is the 4th Division and the 18th Division. If the 2nd Division and the 10th Infantry Division
The progress of the Third Division is unfavorable. The Fourth Division and the Eighteenth Division will enter Siam from Vinh City, and while opening up the second battlefield, they will divide Siam into northern and southern sections. Qin Zhiyuan is ambitious and is ready to complete his achievements in one battle.
Knock the Siamese to the ground completely.
I can organize a transportation team to help you transport supplies, but that's it. The troops I have now have no combat experience at all, so it is a good choice to mainly use Lanfang's soldiers. Liotai's calculation is very shrewd.
.
Probably since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the King of Siam has not stopped developing the army. Of course, this intensity is far from that of the Lanfang Army. So Qin Zhiyuan is really not afraid, and he wants to put the Siamese at risk when he raises his hand.
In the place of death.
Bangkok is less than 300 kilometers away from Desso. If our cars have enough space, the vanguard of the army will arrive in Bangkok by night, and then the battle to destroy the country will be launched. Qin Zhiyuan is confident,
Lyautey was much more confident.
Tell me, how do you plan to distribute the benefits? Lyote wants to play with nothing.
It depends on how much investment you have. This is similar to the two of us setting up a joint-stock company. The more you invest, the more firepower you will get, otherwise it will be less. Qin Zhiyuan does not intend to open a back door, in a word, Leo Tai
Block it tightly.
It shouldn't be about strength, it should be about function. Even if you send all Lanfang's troops here, it still depends on how big a role they play. And I think because Desso is now in France, we should get one more.
Liautey still strives for his share, but he cannot show off his style at this time.
For Lanfang, Annan is a French colony, but for Lyautey, a Frenchman, Annan is an inseparable part of France. Any colony that does not colonize is just a cloud. All colonial members must try their best.
Only by integrating into the big French family can you be worthy of your French identity.
So should we allocate another share to the Republic of China? Qin Zhiyuan did not agree with Liotai's idea.
The so-called geographical advantage can indeed be effective in many cases, but today with the rapid development of science and technology, warships in the ocean never stop, the air force can travel thousands of miles in an instant, and even the army has begun to use a large number of machinery. The geographical advantage
The effect is becoming less and less obvious, so what if it has a geographical advantage, it cannot withstand the bombardment of aerial bombs, naval guns and tank guns.
In fact, the Republic of China was also very close to Siam, so when Lyotai cited geographical advantages, Qin Zhiyuan involved the Republic of China. Anyway, it was to ensure that Lanfang could get enough benefits in this war to destroy the country.
.
I don't think so. The Republic of China didn't play much of a role. Even if they participated, they would only be responsible for logistical tasks. Except for the Lanfang people, it can be said that Lyautey looked down on all Chinese. He was also a damn racist.
As you just said, your troops may not be able to undertake combat missions, so your troops can only show their value in logistics. Qin Zhiyuan looks down on the troops under Liotai.
It can be said that by now, Annan's military potential has been almost tapped. During Bastian's tenure, Lanfang unscrupulously developed immigrants from Annan. At the same time, he defrauded a large number of Annan people in the name of construction workers and joining the Foreign Legion.
They went to Lanfang to find food, and most of these people have now become Lanfang citizens.
These are all young and strong young men. They are much better than the old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Annan, and their value is irreplaceable.
While Qin Zhiyuan and Leo Tai were bargaining, Dong Xingxiu came over and whispered a few words in Qin Zhiyuan's ear.
The Prince of Basel finally launched his long-planned rebellion.
The reason why this rebellion broke out so early was actually entirely due to an accident.
The Prince of Basel had indeed planned the rebellion for a long time. Before taking action, the Prince of Basel obtained the consent of the French. At the same time, because he paid enough money, he obtained a troop from United Oil and placed it in Tunisia to prepare for the coup.
Main force.
The city of Tunisia is still under the rule of King Mohammed. Even if Mohammed is unpopular, there are always some people who are loyal to Mohammed. However, it is indeed a bit difficult for a force of more than a thousand people to hide their eyes from others, so
Not long after Gu Xingbang and his men arrived in Tunisia, Mohammed discovered their existence.
United Oil is indeed a big business, and it has now grown into a behemoth. Even though Mohammed is the King of Tunisia, in front of United Oil, King Mohammed still has to be cautious with his tail between his legs.
Therefore, when he first sent the message to Gu Xingbang and his gang, although the purpose of United Petroleum in placing an army in Tunis City had not yet been determined, Muhammad still keenly felt that something was amiss, so he immediately reported to United Petroleum
Chris asked.
United Oil's troops cannot enter the city of Tunis without legitimate reasons. This was an agreement reached by United Oil and Mohammed when it leased Djerba Island.
Chris would definitely not say that this force wanted to overthrow Muhammad's rule, and Chris did not have much thought to explain to Muhammad. Maybe if the Prince of Basel makes up his mind tomorrow, the Tunisian Palace will change hands the day after tomorrow.
, there is really nothing to talk about with Muhammad at this time.
So Chris shamelessly used procrastination, neither admitting nor denying the existence of Gu Xingbang and the others, and did not give any reply to Muhammad at all.
After all, Muhammad was the king. When there was no response to his request for confirmation, Muhammad sent the palace guards to attack Gu Xingbang and the others.
The Palace Guard is the only team in the hands of Muhammad. Although there are many people, nearly 10,000 people, the equipment is not very good. Many soldiers even use single-shot rifles, and the United Petroleum Army is armed to the teeth.
Can't be compared.
So the attack by the palace guards had no results.
Gu Xingbang was not one to be passively beaten. After defeating the palace guards, Gu Xingbang launched a timely counterattack. It was this counterattack that accidentally took control of the entire Tunis city. It was really surprising.
It was indeed an accident. You must know that when Gu Xingbang and the others took over the city of Tunisia, the Prince of Basel was even active in France to win more support. He never thought that Gu Xingbang and the others would take over the entire city of Tunis so neatly. By the way
Captured the Prince of Basel's brother, Mohamed Nader, the current King of Tunisia.
When things have reached this point, it seems that the Prince of Basel has become the biggest winner, but in fact, the cunning French will not let the Prince of Basel get his wish just like that, and this is exactly what Dong Xingxiu reported to Qin Zhiyuan.
The Republic Haha. After understanding the cause and effect, Qin Zhiyuan could only haha.
