The other four states were appointed by China to governors, and all governors were awarded the title of first-class duke, and the prefix of the duke happened to be the name of the "state". This was the first fief of first-class dukes that had practical significance after China's honor system reform, and since then it has become a convention, and China enjoys real fiefs in overseas territories.

In addition, Wu Shaoting decided to change Laos' name and based on the name of the dynasty in Laos in the Middle Ages, the official name of Laos was "Lancang Dynasty". He also required that in the Constitution of the Lancang Federation, clear provisions and comments must be made, saying that the Lancang Federation is a nominal federal state, but the exercise of the central government is replaced by the Chinese central government.

In the appointment of four governors from Lancang in China, Wu Shaoting also prepared a list, namely: Governor Li Chun of Champace, was named the Grand Duke of Champace; Governor Wu Fuzhen of Segong was named the Grand Duke of Segong; Governor Gu Pinzhen of Langnanta, was named the Grand Duke of Langnanta; Governor Zhu Peide of Shariwuye was named the Grand Duke of Vientiane, and he was also the only overseas grand duke with a different name from the fief.

According to the Overseas Territories Amendment X Act to the Constitution of the Republic of China, all the Governors and the Extremely Affiliated Officials who serve overseas are civilian and only enjoy the right to mobilize local guards, military police and police in the military. The rest of the expansion, training, reserve troops and garrison camps are all under the direct supervision of the Ministry of National Defense X.

However, considering the extraordinary period, this bill will not be implemented for the time being. All governors can still retain military positions after taking office until the end of the war.

The establishment of the Lancang Federation is not difficult. Even if China does not have many troops stationed in Laos, it has lost the two major backers of Siam and Britain. Laos still expects someone to take charge of the overall situation and will not let the people of Dawn starve to death. Therefore, they can only accept the arrangements of the Kunming head of state camp and even force themselves to smile and express their support.

However, the issue of Siam is much more difficult, not only because Siam itself has a certain military strength, but also before that it was a unified national territory. It could not support warlords to create divisions, nor could it blatantly announce the abolition of the Siam National Name, which was really difficult to start.

If China really wants to forcibly annex Siam, it will inevitably cause stubborn resistance from the local Siam army. Once the suppression operation cannot achieve results in a short period of time, things will become more and more trouble, and external public opinion will criticize China's invasion. It will only increase risks for no reason, which is not worth the loss.

After several days of continuous meetings, Wu Shaoting finally found a compromise solution, and he decided to break down the entire country in the way of the Lancang Federation.

Since Siam seems to be a complete country with an indestructible unified politics, China must confront each other and use various means to specifically attack Siam's advantages until all advantages disappear.

Wu Shaoting planned to give Siam a whole country, and to implement the federal system of vassals, support Rama VI as King of Siam, and then divide the whole country of Siam into eleven prince fiefs and seven princely city-states. The brothers of Rama VI were granted the princely territory respectively, and seven great nobles arranged hereditary lords and obtained the rule of the city-state. All princely fiefs and vassal city-states have certain sovereignty, which is similar to the ancient "country China".

The purpose of doing this is to weaken the power of the Siam central government and make the so-called central government just a larger city-state. Moreover, China is the blood clan that supports the Kerry dynasty as the leader of the fiefs of eleven princes, which not only weakens the political influence and makes Siam more acceptable. In addition, it also wins over these Siam royal members to a certain extent, so that these royal members have their own circle of power and interests.

According to Wu Shaoting's idea, he wanted to make conflicts between the Siam royal family and clan relatives conflicts with each other, so as to achieve the effect of mutual checks and balances. People always have selfishness, and their selfishness in the face of power has exceeded all moral bottom lines since ancient times, and even family ethics can be ignored. Once the power of these princes is consolidated and they have their own strength, anyone who wants to try to infringe on their own interests can be regarded as an enemy without any scruples, even if the other party is a father, son or other relatives.

What China needs to do is to balance the power of these princes so that they will not be too strong or too weak, and to strengthen their relationship with each other through various political means. After all, the more princes there are, the greater the chance of winning allegiance to China, and the stronger the degree of checks and balances between each other.

Among the seven city-states of the princes, Wu Shaoting arranged two city-states to be held by Chinese generals, namely: Han Yuguo, the governor of the city-state of Dewudun, was named the first-class grand duke of Dewudun, and the hereditary marquis of Dewudun; Huang Yucheng, the governor of the city-state of Utun, and the hereditary marquis of Kinki, Bangkok. The reason for two titles is that the former is the opposite title granted by the Republic of China, while the latter is the title granted by the Siam king.

In addition, Wu Shaoting also suggested that Myanmar and Siam sell part of the southern territory to China in exchange for funding for the restoration of the country to restore the country, so as to achieve the goal of restoring the country as soon as possible. Although this is just a suggestion, when China sent diplomatic commissioners to negotiate, it demanded that Myanmar and Siam have a tough wording in the name of helping the restoration of the country, and Siam must accept this suggestion.

Myanmar is currently in warlord separatist territory. There are very few areas that the central government established by Bo Gang in Mitela can be directly under the jurisdiction of very few. In order to solve the financial problems, he could only accept China's suggestions naturally. Anyway, he could not control the southern region. It would be better to exchange funds for these places that are not within power, which can not only maintain the operation of the central government, but also weaken the warlords in the south.

As for Siam after it was forcibly divided into a royal federation by China, the central government's centralized power was much worse than before.

What's more, after losing the backing of Britain, Siam's fiscal deficit was extremely serious, and the king could not even pay the minister's salary. Of course, the reason for this was not only because of the loss of British funding, but also because of the "East Asian Economic Recovery Project" behind closed doors, blocking the lifeline of Siam's economy in an instant.

This is the previous plan to take the economy as the starting point and then control the national power of Siam and Laos.

Under various internal and external pressures, Rama VI had to sign this treaty that was humiliating.

Regarding the territorial areas for sale in Myanmar and Siam, the country sold from the east of Myanmar to Panburi, from the west to the east of Myanmar to Siam. With this cross-sectional line as the boundary, the area north belongs to Myanmar, the countries of Siam, and the areas south belong to China. In general, Myanmar only sold 20,000 square kilometers of land land, while Siam sold 80,000 square kilometers of land land.

This part of the region is the place where the South Asian subcontinent borders Malaya, and it also takes into account the important maritime traffic interception lines in the Bay of Bengal, the Gulf of Thailand and the Nansha Sea. After obtaining about 100,000 square kilometers of land, it can easily penetrate the power into the Malay islands, as well as the wider Indian Ocean and Australia...
