Defense Minister Luang Phibun's face looked ugly. It seemed that these people wanted to sacrifice themselves, but he was also doing it for the good of Thailand. Could it be that he was doing it for himself? He also has Chinese ancestry! If not, they must stop their surrender.
Defense Minister Luang Phibun said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Prime Minister, I feel that the Xikang Army is now in overwhelming power and may not negotiate with us. Even if they negotiate, they will ask us to surrender unconditionally. Then their troops will march into Bangkok. That
At that time, we had no autonomy at all and could only let them control us. I think we should actively negotiate with Britain, Japan and France. After all, if we die, no one will be able to protect their interests in Siam."
Prime Minister Phraya Phra Fong Yuting is very disdainful of Luang Phibun's behavior, even though he is of Chinese descent, he still rejects Chinese people. If Luang Phibun didn't have European characteristics, he would really think that he is a European bastard, but now
Being so close to the Japanese, is it possible? A question mark rang out from the bottom of my heart
King Rama VII said: "If their imperialism is unreliable, then our country will be too late. Are you sure?"
Luan Piwen said: "I don't dare to say 100%, but nine times out of ten it is still there. If our country is annexed by Xikang, it will be of no benefit to them at all."
The years of accumulated prestige of European and American countries made King Rama VII feel that it was not something Xikang could resist, and Wang Jiuling was not something that Wang Jiuling could resist if any country came out. After thinking about it, he said: "Then the safety of Siam depends on you!"
Phaya; Phra Phong Yuting wanted to say something, but in the end he held back. Rama VII didn't cherish the throne, so why should he cherish it? It was not his own. The reason why he was not kicked out directly was because of Siam's royalist forces.
Relatively powerful, he was kept in office for the sake of the stability of the country, but now if he is driven out by outsiders, then those royalists will have nothing to say, and Siam can truly enter the independent society.
Seeing that King Rama VII supported him, Luang Phibun was happy to accept the order and leave. If Siam was gone, even if he could escape, he would not have status and power in the future. Luang Phibun headed towards the British, French and Japanese consulates
The consuls of the three countries are discussing how to deal with the Xikang Army. It is obvious that the Xikang Army dispatched 400,000 troops this time to teach the Siamese a lesson.
French Ambassador Pierxon was very puzzled by the Siamese's behavior. What good would it do? They would have to offend the Chinese, and they were the most difficult people in China.
"I think we should send troops to stop Wang Jiuling's Xikang Army. It is best to teach Wang Jiuling a lesson!" Japan patted the table and said: "But the nearest army of our country is in Taiwan, so I hope the two countries can send troops as soon as possible. After all, your army is nearby.
!”
French Ambassador Pierxon said: "I think we'd better figure out where the bottom line of the warlord in Xikang is. If we act rashly, we may cause unnecessary losses." Pierxon does not think that sending troops will bring any benefits to France.
The Japanese ambassador said: "I think there is nothing left to talk about. Everyone knows Wang Jiuling's intentions. He definitely wants to annex Siam. If the two countries do not send troops, I am afraid that the Xikang Army will come over tomorrow. It is better to send troops to stop it first."
He'll say it again"
The British ambassador also said: "Ambassador Pierxon, if the Xikang Army occupies this place, it will not be of any benefit to our country. The Xikang Army is making rapid progress now. Act quickly before we can do anything else. We only need to send a few thousand soldiers."
If you use a deterrent, the Xikang Army will definitely not act rashly and they will not dare to offend us."
Pierxon thought about it and felt that it was still inappropriate. He had stayed in the Far East for so many years and had met and understood many Chinese people. But Wang Jiuling was an anomaly. What if Wang Jiuling really dared to fight? Would France want to do this because of this?
Fight against hundreds of thousands of troops in Xikang?
Britain and Japan don't matter, but France has three billion U.S. dollars and a large piece of land in Wang Jiuling's hands. France will definitely win this bet. Wouldn't it be better to collect the ten billion U.S. dollars by then? It's time to decide whether to fight now.
The question of winning is, even if France wins, what will it gain? I believe that France will never get back its 3 billion capital.
The Japanese are making trouble on their own, and they want to drag Britain and France into trouble. From the sidelines, they watch the British and France have a bloody encounter with the Xikang Army. This calculation is really good!
"Sorry, I can't make the decision. I need to ask the country for instructions!" He said and left as if he was going back to ask for instructions.
The British and Japanese consuls didn't know what the French consul meant, and they were stunned.
"It seems that the French are afraid!" Suzuki Iibune said
The British ambassador said: "It would be difficult for our country to stand alone!" He did not ask for instructions from the country, but since Britain and France reached an understanding in the colonies in the last century, they have always adopted peaceful negotiation to resolve conflicts.
, when dealing with colonial issues, the two countries have always spoken from the same nostril. When encountering an emergency, they can solve the problem first and then report it. This time the French did not move, so it would be inconvenient for him to act alone!
"The French don't move, and it's not convenient for me to move alone! So I have to report it to the country!"
Suzuki Yitong came with full confidence. He did not expect to get such a result, but he still said with a smile on his face: "That's right, but please hurry up, Mr. Ambassador, the speed is slow, I'm afraid this is already the world of Xikang
"
The British ambassador said: "Of course, I will inform you as soon as there is news," and then left.
Suzuki Iito quickly reported to Japan the reactions from the training in England and France.
The Japanese military did not expect that Britain and France would fall apart at the critical moment. Originally, they hoped that Britain and France would fight the Xikang Army to death! But soon some people laughed wildly, and others did not know why.
This person is Okamura Neiji. Okamura Neiji has served as the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army in Northeast China since 1932, with the rank of major general. However, many of his policies are not listened to by people above him. This time he returned to the country to report on his work, and there happened to be
Opportunity to hear discussions among Japanese military bosses
Okamura Neji saw that everyone was looking at him. Everyone had a higher position and more power than him. He was really rude just now.
Okamura Neiji did not dare to show off, and quickly explained: "Gentlemen, what I just laughed at was that the future situation of the empire is very good! Since the First World War, the national power and international influence of Britain and France have declined year by year, and now they can't even teach a lesson.
The Chinese warlords have to consider and consider again. Although they were not calculated this time, we got a richer reward this time, that is, the revival of the empire, and there is no big threat to dominate Asia!"
