When the day dawned, the cool feeling would soon pass, after all, this was the Malay Peninsula, close to the equator, even though it was winter in the northern hemisphere, and while the temperature was not too high, Major Chanosombia decided to go to the creek to take a cool shower, so he ordered the guards to bring him a loose English nightgown, and went with him to the creek, which was less than two hundred meters from the barracks.

This British pajama has a great origin, which was snatched from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the coup d'état that year, decorated with the royal coat of arms, it is said that this was given to the Prime Minister by His Majesty the King, in recognition of his loyalty and patience, but unfortunately, this loyalty and patience could not withstand the bayonets of the coup army, so in the bloody military coup d'état in 1933, not only did the Prime Minister die at the hands of the coup soldiers, but even the Prime Minister's Office was burned down by the mob that took advantage of the chaos to loot, and at that time, Chanosombia was a junior officer in the coup force, he was a second lieutenant at the time, and now he is a major, and his rocket-like promotion was due to his Chinese ancestry, his father was a Peranakan, and his mother was a Siamese (Thai) native, so Chanosombia was a Chinese-Siamese mixed-race.

Considering the relationship between the current Siamese military government and the Chinese government, a Chinese-Siamese half-breed like Chanosombia naturally has a unique advantage, Chanosonbia can speak fluent Chinese Hokkien, so he was favored by his superiors, and after several promotions, he was finally stationed here as the head of the border station.

Not far from Songkhla, it is a border post in the southwest, this area is located in the bee waist of the Malayan Peninsula, which is the key area of the so-called "Kra Isthmus", which is the narrowest area of the entire Malay Peninsula, and to control it is to control the southern part of the Malay Peninsula, and now, the southern part of the Malay Peninsula is the Straits Settlements of the United Kingdom, and Singapore, the largest British naval base in the Far East, is in the southernmost part of the peninsula. Since the British colonial authorities began to implement discriminatory policies against the Chinese in the Straits Settlements, the Chinese who had originally settled in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula began to emigrate to other parts of Southeast Asia, most to the Second Republic of Lan Fong, and a few to Siam and Burma through the Kra Isthmus to make a living, and many such Chinese immigrants lived here in the Kra Isthmus. []

Since the military coup d'état in 1933 aimed at overthrowing the pro-British government, Siam's relations with the governments of these two Asian countries have warmed rapidly, and investment from the Chinese government and the private sector has increased rapidly, especially here in Kra Isthmus, because it has rich tin ore reserves and rubber forests, and it has also attracted a lot of investment from China. In order to prevent the border station officers from being bribed by profiteers, the treatment of the head of the border station like Songkhla is quite generous, the work is easy, the salary is also high, and there is no need to collect black money to live comfortably, since coming to Songkhla, Chano Songbia has been enjoying this leisurely life, and because he is fluent in Hokkien dialect, the Chinese community here is also very popular, the Siam military government is also very satisfied with his envelopment work, if there is no accident, maybe in a few more days, Chanosombia's rank will become lieutenant colonel.

With a satisfied smile, Major Chanosombia stripped himself of himself by the brook, and then jumped into the cool water and enjoyed his cool bath, while the pajamas with the royal coat of arms were held in the hands of the guard, who stood on the shore and looked out at the border post not far away, where the Straits Settlements of the British Empire used to be, and where the British might have been in fear.

While enjoying the cool bath, while humming the military song, Major Chanosonbia was very happy, this military song was just learned the day before yesterday, the name of the song is called "Navy Assault", this is a Chinese song, is to describe the combat life of naval aviation, the rhythm is bright, the melody is sonorous, in the past two days, this military song can be heard everywhere on the shortwave radio, since the news of the great victory of the Chinese Navy in the Andaman naval battle has been confirmed, China's radio stations have been singing the praises of naval aviation and the navy, Those Chinese and overseas Chinese who settled in Songkhla were also excited about the victory of the motherland, so this "HNA Assault" has become the most popular foreign song in the Songkhla area, and the Siamese military even intends to write a military song for its naval aviation that can also invigorate the morale of the army and the people, and in order to strengthen ties with the victors, the Siamese military has also decided to select another group of military academy students to study in China, and it is said that several Chinese-Siamese mixed-race officers will be added to the new batch of lists. It is very likely that Chanosombia will go to the middle school for further study, and after returning to China in the future, he will at least be a major general. "Major! Major!"

Just as Major Chanosombia was immersed in a beautiful vision of the future, the guard who stood guard for him suddenly shouted a few times, interrupting Mr. Major's thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

Chanosombia looked up at the guard, only to be surprised to see that the guard was now raising one arm and pointing to the south.

So Mr. Major turned his head to look south, but since he was standing in the brook, the ground was not high, and he might not be able to see what the guards could see, so he did not see any strange sight at once, so he hurriedly jumped ashore from the brook, and stood on the north bank of the creek with a strip, and looked out to the south bank.

There was a highway on one side of Songkhla and the Straits Settlements of Great Britain on the other, and most of the cars on that road were usually carrying tin ore and raw rubber, but now, standing on the north bank of the creek, Major Chanozombya could clearly see a long convoy on that road, all the cars were not the commercial vehicles that could be seen in normal times, but all military vehicles, British-made military cars, including trucks, cars, and some light armored vehicles. "What happened?"

Major Chanosongbia was very surprised, he knew that Britain was now at war with China, but this was Songkhla, Siam's territory, why did the British ** team appear here? Do they want to attack Siam?

Thinking of this, Chanosombia hurriedly put on the pajamas adorned with the royal coat of arms, ran back to the barracks barefoot, gathered the soldiers, ordered them to enter the bunker, and then put on their military uniforms and went to the border post to see what was going on.

When Major Nosonbia and the guards arrived at the border post, the Siamese soldiers who were originally on duty here had been disarmed by the British, and a British light armored car was parked at the outpost, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointing at the Siamese flag fluttering on the flagpole at the sentry post.

"What are you going to do? This is Siamese territory!"

Major Chanosombia immediately greeted him with his soldiers, made a stop in the middle of the road, and shouted in Siamese to a junior British officer who was directing the soldiers to remove the barricades on the side of the road.

"According to the decision of the British Empire government, the British Imperial Army will pass through the Kra Isthmus area to reinforce Burma, this is the order of the British Empire Far East Command, Mr. Major, please take a closer look, the order is very clear, if the British ** team is blocked by force when passing through the Kra Isthmus, the British ** team will immediately and resolutely counterattack!"

An interpreter from the British army ran over and spoke to Major Chanosombia, then took out an order and handed it to the major for his review.

The order was written in English, and of course Chanosombia didn't know what was written on it, but the other party's Siamese dialect was quite authentic, and he figured out what the other party meant.

"You're going to Burma? However, Songkhla is the territory of Siam. Isn't this an invasion?"

Chanosombia panicked, he realized that he was encountering a very difficult incident, the British ** team did this, it must be an armed invasion, as a Siamese soldier, he must resist, but the problem is that there are only more than 100 soldiers at his border station, of which only half of the soldiers have weapons, and the other half of the soldiers are actually local soldiers recruited from the local area, and have not received real tactical training at all, in this case, How could he possibly withstand a British Army unit armed with armored vehicles?

"This is not aggression, this is preventive entry! In any case, the Siamese government must fully cooperate!"

The position of the British ** officer is very clear, either the Siamese army stands aside and watches the British ** team pass through the border post, or the two sides simply fight a battle to see if the British ** team is strong, or the Siamese army is strong, in a word, the British army must pass through Songkhla.

This is simply bandit logic, and Chanosombia became enraged, drew his pistol, brandished it, and ordered the soldiers to block the middle of the road.

The soldiers hesitated to obey the order, but soon when the British armoured car began to rotate its machine-gun turret and aim its guns at them, they immediately dispersed, leaving Major Chanozumbea alone in the middle of the road.

"Mr. Major, it seems, your soldiers are wiser than you."

A British Army Major approached and ordered the soldiers to disarm the stunned Siamese Army Major and escort him back to the barracks, and then the British Army announced that it would take over the defense of Songkhla, and on the same day, the British Army troops occupied the entire city of Songkla, and the British Air Force also took control of several military airfields in the area.

Major Chanosombia did not know, in fact, long before Songkhla was "taken over" by British Army units, in the southwest of Songkhla, closer to the border, the British Army units had already begun operations, and this operation, codenamed "Operation Matador" in the British ** staff agency.

At the same time, the Siamese junta in Bangkok also received a diplomatic note from the British diplomatic service about the "decisive actions" of the British Army on the Kra Isthmus.

In the evening of the same day, the "Kra Isthmus Incident" was broadcast by the Chinese State Radio with shortwave communications, and before that, the relevant report had been placed on the conference table of the Chinese General Staff.

After careful analysis, the Chinese General Staff believes that Britain's move is ostensibly to reinforce the British troops in Burma, but in fact it is to retreat the British Army in the Straits Settlements, and at the same time to occupy the Kra Isthmus to prevent the southern part of Malaya from being cut off from the northern line of communication.

In view of the imminent launch of the Southern Burma Campaign by the Chinese Army, the actions of the British Army on the Kra Isthmus are indeed very alarming.

In any case, the Malayan landing operation of the Chinese side must be launched immediately with the latest chapter updated in a timely manner
