Xiang Xiaoqiang and Stomachache, Shi Shigege and others were waiting in the small conference room, staring at the map. Xiu Xiu and Qiu Qiu were guarding a radio station, holding their chins and waiting quietly. They were all waiting for Bangkok.
News comes back from there at any time.
The small light of a radio station came on. At the same time, a typewriter-like device connected to the radio station began to tap automatically, and long notes were passed out one after another. The notes were printed with dense and dense rows.
The black dot in the sequence. This is the recorded radio signal.
Xiu Xiu immediately grabbed one end of the note, flipped through the code book, and interpreted it softly. Qiu Qiu took notes with a pen and paper.
As soon as Qiu Qiu finished writing a piece of paper, Xiang Xiaoqiang grabbed it.
"A call came from the Bangkok special agent team. Heavy machine guns were set up in the palace. The prince's guards could not attack the palace. Prince Bhumibol asked us for help and requested direct assistance from the Ming Dynasty army."
After Xiang Xiaoqiang finished reading, he looked up at everyone and said:
"The Siamese army is worse than we imagined. Their combat effectiveness and fighting will are simply worse than the third-rate troops of the Northern Qing Dynasty... It's no wonder that, with the Ming Dynasty as the cover, Siamese people have not seen a war for several generations, and the so-called army is also
They are almost like the servants who look after the home. When they saw a machine gun, they completely lost their will to fight... What should we do now? Everyone, make a decision quickly! The situation in Bangkok is critical now. We will not intervene within two or three hours. There will be a coup.
It may fail. To exaggerate, we will lose Siam."
His stomach ached and he looked a little panicked. He said hesitantly:
"Sir... we, the People's Guard, can't decide such a big matter ourselves? This is... a major national policy issue. Should we report it to the cabinet government and let the cabinet study and decide? We can't just sit here like this.
In this small office, just..."
Fourteen Gege stood up and said without any doubt:
"Yes, we just have to sit in this small office and decide on major national policy issues."
She spoke lightly, but there was a kind of excitement that could not be concealed. She continued:
"Now people are not asking the cabinet government, but they are asking us. Then we are qualified to make this decision. This is a good opportunity. We should seize it and not hide it. Even if we report it, we will report it to His Majesty, because
Your Majesty is our only superior, and she will support us no matter what we decide.
"Now it's obvious that we have to intervene directly. Even if we tell the cabinet now and let them argue for a day, the final conclusion is that we have to intervene directly. I guarantee this. Because as your Excellency said, it's all like this
It's time. The situation in Bangkok is critical. If we don't intervene within a few hours, we may lose Siam. The ministers in the cabinet are just studying how to best intervene.
"But I can tell you the results of their research directly now. There is only one answer: that is, this layer of window paper cannot be pierced. Even if we intervene, we cannot go into battle naked. In other words, we have to do what it seems on the surface,
It’s still like an internal coup in Siam. Now all countries are staring at us, especially the major Southeast Asian countries like Britain, France and the United States. If we do it too openly, it will irritate them.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang leaned back on the chair, stared at her with his hands crossed, and said thoughtfully:
"You mean, our soldiers disguise themselves as Siamese soldiers and mix with real Siamese soldiers to attack the palace?... Well, this is a good idea."
Fourteen Gege nodded and said with a smile:
"The solution is this, but now our army closest to Bangkok is also in Laem Chabang. If we set off now, it will take at least two hours. During this period, it is difficult to say what the situation in Bangkok will be. And all the armies in Siam are
While waiting and watching, we should first send out the signal to prevent those Siamese generals from standing in the wrong team."
Xiang Xiaoqiang understood immediately. He snapped his fingers and said:
"Immediately contact the commander of Laem Chabang Base and ask him to speak on the radio... He said that the situation in Bangkok is currently chaotic. In order to protect the many Ming Dynasty expatriates there, Laem Chabang Base is considering sending troops to Bangkok to protect the expatriates... In this way, the entire Siamese army generals
Your head will clear up. Even if there is no progress at the Bangkok Palace for a while, there won't be much of a problem. Then contact the Army Aviation Commando Battalion at Laem Chabang Base and ask them to take out a company and go to Bangkok immediately.
Drive in, change into the uniform of the Prince's Guard there, seize the palace as quickly as possible, and then hand it over to Prince Bhumibol's troops. The commando team is from the Army Air Force, and we will have no problem commanding it... Your Highness, Princess, this is
You are responsible for this matter. Okay, you can handle it first, and now contact your Majesty. I will ask her for a procedure to prevent anyone below from raising any objections."
After this arrangement, several people below started to move. Shi Shigege looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang happily, smiled, and quickly bent down when passing him, and chuckled softly: "The reaction is quite fast."
Then Nuzui kissed him on the face.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was drinking tea from a cup and almost choked on a sip of tea. He swallowed the tea, wiped his mouth, and glanced quickly at the people around him. Everyone else was busy with their own business, even Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu.
I didn’t see this little move of fourteen grids.
He broke out in a cold sweat, raised his eyes and glared at Shi Shi Ge Ge, but what he saw was Shi Shi Ge Ge's ambiguous and proud smile. Her lips made a mouth shape:
What are you afraid of? It will be settled long ago.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, when thousands of households in Siam were having dinner, Guo Chaofeng, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Navy stationed at Laem Chabang Base in Siam, spoke on the radio and announced that in view of the unstable political situation in Siam, a massacre was taking place in downtown Bangkok.
During the battle, Ming Dynasty will send some troops into the main Chinese gathering areas in Bangkok to protect the expatriates.
After he finished speaking in Chinese, an interpreter spoke again in Siamese. In this way, all the court officials in Siam, as well as senior officers with military power, heard it on the radio in the restaurant.
It was immediately clear what this meant.
The Ming Dynasty announced its support for Prince Bhumibol's succession to the throne, but now the prince is undergoing a coup, and the Ming Dynasty announced that it will directly send troops to Bangkok to "protect the overseas Chinese"... What this means is already very clear.
This means Prince Bhumibol is sure to win.
Those officers who were hesitant just now are now determined to stick to the camp and not interfere. Two or three bold generals have already sent a telegram to express their loyalty to the new King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Two hours later, a long military convoy drove into downtown Bangkok from the east. Not only was there a battalion of Army Aviation Commandos transferred directly to Xiaoqiang, but there was also a motorized infantry regiment transferred by Guo Chaofeng, more than 3,000 people.
Guo Chao assessed the situation during the trial and felt that Xiang Xiaoqiang's political future was very promising, so he decided to completely side with Xiang Xiaoqiang. Not only did he speak, but he actually sent troops to Bangkok to protect the overseas Chinese.
Of course, because of Xiang Xiaoqiang's established "national policy", these three thousand Ming army troops still cannot just roll up their sleeves and go to work. Their role is to create momentum and give people the feeling that the Ming army is pressing down on the country, so that the entire Bangkok and the entire Siam
The military and police are all very well-armed. Even if they receive a direct order from the old king, they have to think clearly whether they should execute it or throw it under the bed.
There were no people on the streets of Bangkok at this time. There was a lot of fighting at the palace, and the people had already hid in their homes and closed the doors. But all the reporters in Bangkok, Ming Dynasty reporters and foreign reporters, were at this time.
They were in great spirits, carrying long guns and short cannons, and gathered in groups on the streets, especially around the palace. Reporters carrying cameras were climbing on buildings far and near, and on big trees. They were all extremely excited.
Every time there was a gunshot or a grenade from the palace, a burst of white smoke from the spotlight would rise around the palace.
Under the gaze of reporters all over the street, these three thousand Ming army troops must not directly participate in the war. These military trucks drove into Bangkok and then drove separately to various Chinese gathering areas. When they arrived at their destination, they immediately jumped out of the car.
They came down and guarded the entire block with guns and live ammunition. There were also many expatriate residents who were not in the Chinese gathering areas. They were scattered in various places in Bangkok. But soon, two Ming soldiers with guns were guarding the door of each of their houses.
These overseas Chinese residents were scattered throughout the city, and they invisibly helped the Ming army. In this way, not only in the few Chinese areas, but also in the entire city of Bangkok, Ming army soldiers could be seen everywhere. The effect of the Ming army's "soldier suppression" was very strong
.However, in front of the world's cameras, the Ming army did not interfere in the coup in Bangkok, but only protected the expatriates.
However, more than a hundred of these Ming troops did not go to any Chinese-inhabited areas. Instead, they drove directly into the backyard of Prince Bhumibol's mansion. This was the commando of that company. They quickly changed to the prince's guard.
wearing uniforms, carrying weapons and running towards the palace.
…
In front of the palace, the prince's guard was still in a stalemate with the palace defenders inside the palace. The palace defenders kept shouting outside, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender without being held accountable. The captain of the prince's guard kept shouting at first, "Give them a break."
His own people cheered up, fearing that they were really crazy, so they turned around and shot themselves, and then took the lead in surrendering. But later, they saw truck after truck of Ming troops roaring past the palace. Not only he
, nearly a hundred people under his command cheered. They knew that they were sure to win. They had achieved "great achievements in supporting the establishment" and their bright future was laid.
But those Ming soldiers in trucks just drove by and did not come down to help them fight. They began to be suspicious and worried again, until they saw a neat group of Siamese soldiers running towards them in the distance.
This Siamese army of more than a hundred people wore the uniforms of the Prince's Guards, but the formation was strict and they even ran in unison. At first glance, they did not look like the usual Siamese army that was noisy. Moreover, those soldiers were all tall and strong, with muscles in their necks and arms.
Developed, and they don’t look much like the Malays in Southeast Asia... Fortunately, the reporters behind are relatively far away,
The soldiers of the Prince's Guards who had been "fighting hard" at the palace gate for a long time all understood what was going on. They were really at ease now. But they seemed to be frightened by the momentum of the "Prince's Guards" in front of them, and they all forgot about it.
cheer.
These commandos did not greet them, but quickly dispersed. More than a hundred people were divided into groups of three along the palace wall. One person in each group first threw a grenade into the wall, and dozens of loud noises were heard.
After the sound of the earth shaking, the other two people squatted half-crouched, holding each other tightly with their four hands. Then the other person took a few steps back, rushed over quickly, and stepped on the hands of the two people. The two people pushed him towards him.
With a push in the air, he used the power of the bounce to lift his arms to the top of the high palace wall, and then with a push, his whole body was as light as a swallow, and he flashed into the palace wall.
Almost in an instant, more than 30 groups of commandos all "flyed" into the palace wall like this. The whole action did not take more than five seconds. The Prince of Siam's guard next to him almost had his eyes popping out of his head.
Although the Royal Palace of Siam is called the "Royal Palace", it is actually a little larger than the Changping Marquis Mansion and does not have many courtyards. After more than 30 commandos "flyed" in, there was a burst of intensive submachine gunfire, and then there was a wail.
, voices begging for mercy and surrendering. Then two-thirds of the remaining commandos outside also climbed in with their guns on their backs and their bare hands.
Five minutes later, all the resistance in the palace was cleared, and every door was opened. The real prince's guards outside shouted and swarmed in.
About an hour later, at eight o'clock exactly, the official radio station of the Kingdom of Siam officially announced that King Rama VII Mahidol Adulyadej had abdicated and passed the throne to Prince Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Prince Miphon officially succeeded the king of the Kingdom of Siam and became Rama VIII of the Charik dynasty of Siam.
Within the next half hour, the palace received telegrams from military and political officials from all over the country expressing their loyalty to the new king.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhu Yourong sent a telegram to express that the Ming Dynasty recognized the new king of Siam, Rama VIII. In the telegram, she congratulated the new king on his succession and hoped that he would be diligent and caring for the people, reform bad governance, and bring prosperity to the Siamese people.
Come to happiness and work hard for the friendship between the people of Ming Dynasty and Siam.
The Ming Dynasty was the first to take the lead. Soon, all the major monarchies in the world sent congratulatory messages to Siam, expressing their recognition of the new king, congratulations to Siam, and each said some beautiful words.
Prince Bhumibol was very excited that night and was busy directing and arranging various matters after his succession. He also personally drafted and edited a long reply to the Empress of Ming Dynasty together with his mother and concubine, in which he was extremely grateful.
In other words, except that it was not explicitly stated that the Ming army helped break into the palace, everything else can be said to have been thanked.
At half past nine, the Siamese ambassador in Nanjing drove to the Forbidden City to meet Zhu Yourong. He first sent this message of thanks, and then he also expressed his utmost respect and compliments to Zhu Yourong, the Ming Dynasty army, and the Commander-in-Chief of the People's Guard.
Ichiban. He also brought a guarantee from the new king: The king will always keep his kindness to Her Majesty the Queen and the Ming Empire in his heart. From now on, Siam will be the Siam of the Ming Dynasty. Siam will become the most reliable road for the Ming Dynasty to connect with its Southeast Asian territories.
Bridge. No matter what happens in the future, Siam will become the most reliable and stable rear position for the Ming Dynasty.
