Speaking of supporting agent independence, this is actually just a rhetoric. If the Chinese in Siam are really independent, it will be equivalent to an enclave of Lan Fang, which Lan Fang can annex at any time without any hidden dangers.
Qin Zhiyuan was aware of the trend of colonial independence in the mid-20th century, so when Lanfang annexed every colony, Qin Zhiyuan paid attention to this issue.
Whether it was Northern Xinjiang or Goryeo, every time he occupied a place, Qin Zhiyuan would disperse and relocate the local aboriginal people, and then fill the occupied area with people from other places, even if it was a densely populated area like Goryeo, where the Goryeo people gathered.
Most of them are in the northern part of Goryeo, and the Lanfang people still make up the absolute majority in the south.
In this way, even if some colonial elites want to cause trouble in the future, they will not have a popular base.
If the Chinese in Siam become independent, the obvious reality is that the Chinese in Siam will establish a country with Chinese as the main body. Even if it exists under a separate name, it will be a vassal of Lan Fang. Because of ethnic relations,
Lan Fang can annex the country established by the Chinese in Siam at any time without anyone making irresponsible remarks.
Sounds a bit incredible, right?
In fact, it is quite normal. Compared with the direct annexation by the British and French, although Lanfang's approach was thorough, it seemed much more elegant on the surface.
This is also due to the huge population base of the Chinese. If the British and French had such a large population of Chinese, I am afraid that the whole world would have been divided up by Britain and France by now, and there would be no Lanfang incident at all.
When Zhang Jingzong faced the censure of Owen Jonah, Qin Zhiyuan was in Saigon.
Now that the attack on Siam has begun, we must devour Siam in one go so that they have no ability to resist and cannot leave any future troubles.
This is the consensus of Qin Zhiyuan and Liotai.
According to the agreement between Qin Zhiyuan and Lyotai, the area that Lanfang is responsible for extends from Bangkok southward to Pattani, the southernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula. The area that French Indochina is responsible for is north of Bangkok, including Buri Lanwu.
A vast area including Boon Khun Khen Chaiyampong.
In fact, the above-mentioned areas are not all of Siam. There is also a vast area northwest of Bangkok, including Phitsanulok, Laxing, Lampang, and Chiang Mai. During the discussions between Qin Zhiyuan and Lyotai, this area was to be divided up with the British.
, so the redistribution does not involve the northwest of Bangkok.
The British also have interests in Siam. If the British are completely excluded from this attack on Siam, the British will definitely not give up. And if Lanfang and France offer to give the British a share after the war, it will be a big blow to the British.
It should be an unexpected surprise for people, and it will probably make it easier for British people to accept the reality.
Geographically speaking, the area that French Indochina is responsible for is larger than the area that Lanfang is responsible for, but the area that Lanfang is responsible for also includes a huge sea area, so the area is basically the same. Besides, the area that Lanfang is responsible for includes
Including Bangkok, this is the essence of Siam. The richest people in Siam all live in Bangkok. From this point of view, Lanfang still has a lot of advantages.
Of course, there are reasons why Lanfang took advantage. In terms of the proportion of troops dispatched, Lanfang dispatched more troops and should get greater benefits.
This time, Lan Fang dispatched 70,000 troops, including two brigades of Marine Corps, to Siam. Lyautey only sent out three divisions with less than 50,000 troops, and they were not strictly trained. Their combat effectiveness was not as good as Lan Fang's.
There is a world of difference between Fang and Fang's army, so Lan Fang deserves to gain more.
What Qin Zhiyuan and Lyotai are discussing is the progress and coordination of the French coalition.
We have now completed all the tasks on the Malay Peninsula. Bangkok is under siege and can launch an attack at any time. The forward line is advancing north and has reached the Chai Na Phetchabun line. Your progress is a bit slow. Do you want to
I helped Qin Zhiyuan sit on the terrace of Lyautey's Governor's Palace to show off to Lyotey.
No, my boys can complete the mission. Let your people be careful and don't cross the line. I won't accept your favor. Although the progress on the front line is unfavorable, Lyotei still refuses to admit defeat.
Lanfang's attack was orderly, using Chinese people widely distributed in Siam. Lanfang first occupied the territory and then slowly sorted it out. Even Bangkok was surrounded but not attacked, and the forward line kept moving toward
The northern advance has exceeded the scope originally agreed with Lyautey.
Lyautey's answer was profound. If Lanfang's army accidentally crossed the border, even if the Siamese army was eliminated, it would still be handed over to the French after the war. It must be said that before launching the attack, Lyautey still did
A lot of work has been done, but the quality of the French Indochina army is really poor. They have not completed the task so far, and their progress has lagged far behind Lanfang. This has affected the cooperation between the French armies.
We don't need your gratitude. It is our unshirkable responsibility to help our allies. We are friends, right? Qin Zhiyuan took the opportunity to ridicule.
I'm really good at helping you. Once the loan we owe is paid off, Lyotei will immediately find a way to deal with state relations.
When Lanfang was first founded, it received a lot of support from France. France was just one of them, and there were countless loans, talent, machines and equipment. In the past three years, Lanfang received a total of 1.2 billion from France.
Part of the franc loan has been repaid with raw materials and other things that are not convenient to describe, but it will take some time before it is fully repaid.
What is inconvenient to describe is technology, including the technology Lanfang obtained from Japan to produce 406mm naval guns, as well as Lanfang's self-developed torpedo aircraft and radar. These things have confidentiality agreements, especially radar, Lanfang
The French are required to keep it strictly confidential and raise the confidentiality level of this technology as they would to protect their own eyes.
Although Lyautey does not admit it, France does rely on Lanfang's help in terms of technology, and it is foreseeable that such help will increase in the future.
In fact, Leotey felt bitter in his heart when he spoke harshly. Once upon a time, Qin Zhiyuan led a group of Chinese workers to make a living in France. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Qin Zhiyuan transformed into the king of a powerful country. The relationship between Lanfang and France also changed.
From a vassal to an equal, and even surpassing France in some aspects, Lyautey really couldn't accept this.
Your Majesty, King Rama VI sent a telegram again, requesting Lan Fang to stop the attack immediately. Rama VI is willing to sign a contract with Lan Fang, recognize Lan Fang's status as a suzerainty, and give the Chinese super-national treatment. Gilard, dressed in military uniform
Ding came over and gave a report.
Girardine is now Qin Zhiyuan's communications secretary. Although she is still young, she is already over 1.70 meters tall, and her long legs are even more thrilling. It is very suitable to describe her as playing with her legs.
Qin Zhiyuan now has more than a dozen secretaries, three of whom are relatively close to him. Misha, who is about to become a princess, is still nominally Qin Zhiyuan’s life secretary. Hyman Herbert, who is already 16 years old, also came to Qin Zhiyuan last month.
Became Qin Zhiyuan's confidential secretary.
After Hyman Herbert came to Qin Zhiyuan, Girardine finally couldn't help but proposed to work by Qin Zhiyuan's side. This was ruthlessly rejected by Qin Zhiyuan, and Girardine became seriously ill because of this.
He refused to go to work at the institute and even started a hunger strike to express his determination.
Qin Zhiyuan was not willing to let Girardine go on a hunger strike, so he had to transfer Girardine to his side as the communications secretary.
Not to mention, Girardine is very suitable for this position. As early as the boy scout period, Girardine showed amazing talent in telegraphy. After working, he did not give up research in this area. Girardine once participated in
Having compiled the Lanfang Military Headquarters telegram code last time, he can be regarded as an expert in this field.
Of course, Girardin also had his own research work before becoming Qin Zhiyuan's communications secretary. However, Girardin claimed that he no longer had any interest in the institute. He only made a rough handover with the successor researcher and couldn't wait to come.
Qin Zhiyuan's side.
Now I know that I regret telling him that unless he abdicates the throne and annex Siam to Lanfang, there is no chance that the Lanfang army will stop attacking. Qin Zhiyuan did not leave a way for Rama VI to survive, and his refusal was very thorough.
Well, Liote coughed immediately, refreshing his sense of presence.
Well, that's not what I meant. Qin Zhiyuan is hypocritical.
That's what you mean, but please don't make it so obvious. Am I, an old man, so unworthy of your attention? Leotai is deeply resentful.
Attacking Siam was a decision jointly made by Qin Zhiyuan and Lyotai. If Siam was annexed to Lanfang, then what would be the point of Lyotai's hard work?
Go ahead and tell him that if he surrenders unconditionally, he can keep his throne. Facing Girardine, Qin Zhiyuan looked kind and cheerful, without the slightest sarcasm when facing Lyotai.
It was Geraldine who agreed abruptly, saluted with a military salute, turned around and walked away quickly.
I really can't believe that this poor little kid is so big now. Looking at Girardine's back, Lyotei sighed quietly.
The photo of Qin Zhiyuan holding Girardine had appeared in all newspapers in France and Germany. Lyautey was very aware of the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Girardine, and was no stranger to Girardine.
It's impolite to criticize others after we say goodbye. I haven't reached the point where I'm deaf or dazzled. Geraldine, who hadn't gone far yet, immediately turned around to protest, her delicate little face wrinkled up, but she still looked cute.
Okay, I apologize. I'm very sorry, beautiful lady, and I promise I will never do it again. Lyotai stood up and bowed with one hand on his chest.
The hateful French man Girardine said a word, and this time he really left.
What a little pepper, this time he waited until he could no longer see Girardine, and then Lyautey murmured in a low voice.
Hahahahaha Qin Zhiyuan laughed heartlessly.
Don't laugh at me, I've seen your tragic future and Lyotey has evil intentions.
