Caught between the two major imperialisms, Rama VI could not attach importance to armaments, even if he wanted to. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reason why Siam was able to exist was because of the compromise between Britain and France, whether it was Britain or France, as long as they wanted to tear up the agreement, the Siamese people could not withstand even the national mobilization. In order to maintain his rule, and to show Britain and France that he had no disobedience, Rama VI implemented in Siam neither the all-in-one military system like Switzerland nor the compulsory military service system like Lanfang, but a rotten system.

That's right, it's rotten.

In the whole of Siam, except for the army in Bangkok, which looks like an army, the other armies are similar to the nature of the militia group, and the army in Bangkok is surrounded by the Lan Phong Marine Corps, so although the gang under the command of Flutter Cha Na is called the "Free Army", they are actually a group of farmers.

In this case, the military quality of ordinary Siamese people is really not very good, just ten days ago, these people under the command of Cha Cha Na have never touched a gun at all, so it is really a bit difficult for them to shoot accurately.

Just when the "Chiang Mai Free Army" and the Indians were fighting lively, in a dense forest about 300 meters on the other side of the official road, Xu Zhongqing and Zhang Chengye were silent with black faces.

Xu Zhongqing had long known about the military qualities of these Siamese people, and also reported to Zhang Chengye, but Zhang Chengye did not send people to train those subordinates of Chamana.

Sooner or later, Chiang Mai will return to the hands of the Lanfang people, and Zhang Chengye doesn't want to make trouble for himself.

The result of not training is like now, and although the ping-pong guns are hilarious, it looks like a farce.

If you start throwing grenades at a distance of 100 meters, who can you hit?

Do you really think everyone is Zheng Dali?

"Sir, do you want us to fight?" Xu Zhongqing finally couldn't stand it.

Although Zhang Chengye is only a baron, he also has a knighthood and deserves the title of "lord". Prior to this, Zhang Chengye had already received definite news that this Indian soldier was transporting guns and ammunition, which is why so many soldiers were sent to escort them. After getting the news, Zhang Chengye immediately formulated an ambush plan and prepared to hijack the convoy, but unexpectedly, he collided with Flutter Chana.

Zhang Chengye's original intention was to hijack the convoy and then send it to Ponchana, which is still the credit of Ponchana, there is no need to report this kind of thing, even with Zhang Chengye's knowledge, he can't imagine that Ponchana actually dared to take the group of "soldiers" under him to rob the British of supplies, I really don't know whether to praise this bravery, or to criticize this recklessness.

"It's okay, they don't fight well, and the Indians are no better-" Zhang Chengye was not in a hurry, squatted behind the bunker and casually dragged a grass root and put it in his mouth to chew.

It really has to chew something to distract him, otherwise Zhang Chengye will be able to burst into laughter now.

It was originally a good march, but it was suddenly attacked by unknown persons, and although it did not suffer serious losses at the first time, the Indians were still taken aback. After the gunshots rang out, the Indians rolled out of the carriage and hid in the gutters or ridges on the side of the road, not daring to raise their heads, let alone fight back.

The British officer who led the team was still bold, tentatively picked up his hat and shook it, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was not attacked, so the British officer got up from the ground and began to kick the buttocks of those Indian soldiers, preparing to organize a counterattack and gain some military merit by the way.

Although the British had absolute authority in front of the Indians, not all orders were effective, at least the Indian soldiers had objections to the British officers' orders to drive them to their deaths, even if the boots were kicked in the ass, these Indians just changed places and lay down again, without the intention of organizing a counterattack.

There was really no intention of fighting back, these Indian soldiers were close to the ground, eager to dig a pit and bury themselves, let alone charge in the face of a rain of bullets, and they didn't even have the intention of raising their guns and firing two bullets to strengthen their courage.

In this case, even if the commander has a heavenly posture, there is nothing he can do.

"Tsk, that's how the British won the world war? The Germans are not very good-" Zhang Chengye didn't want to attack, and Xu Zhongqing couldn't help it, so he just looked at the diorama.

"Of course it's better if it's all British-" Zhang Chengye couldn't explain why the Indians were so cowardly, speaking of the world war, the Chinese and Indians were also comrades-in-arms, but fighting side by side with such people made Zhang Chengye feel really embarrassed.

Pig teammates, pig teammates!

"If we don't get rid of these Indians quickly, it is estimated that Indian reinforcements will come later." Xu Zhongqing is still worried that this place is not far from Chiang Mai, and the table tennis is so lively, it will definitely not be hidden from the Indians in Chiang Mai.

"It's just a pot of serving." Zhang Chengye didn't care much, the Indians with this kind of combat effectiveness came to deliver food more or less.

To tell the truth, although Ponchana was raised by Zhang Chengye, Zhang Chengye didn't care much about the life or death of Poncha, and he really wanted more or less people like Poncha Na in Siam, if it weren't for the fact that Ponchana had something to do with Xu Zhongqing, it would not be Pcha's turn to be in the limelight.

Just as Xu Zhongqing said, when the "fierce battle" was going on for more than half an hour, a unit of more than 100 Indian troops came from the direction of Chiang Mai, ready to support the transport convoy that had been ambushed.

This Indian army unit didn't look like it was specially here to support, the soldiers carried a lot of things in large bags and small bags, and some soldiers even carried one or two chickens on their rifles, so they followed up with the devils in the village.

A kilometer from the battlefield, the Indian army stopped, ready to form and go into battle.

It took more than 20 minutes for more than 100 Indian soldiers to divide into two teams, one to support the transport convoy that was being attacked, and the other to make a detour around the flank of the "Chiang Mai Free Army" position.

With such a big move by the Indian army, it is naturally impossible to conceal it.

The Indians were too slow to move, and Ponchana had enough time to divide his forces and prepare for the attacks of the Indians.

So the battle fell into a stalemate again, and the later Indian army unit was finally a little bold, at least daring to pick up the rifle and shoot in the direction of the "Chiang Mai Free Army", but the shooting accuracy was still worrying, and it looked like it was a lively fight, but in fact it couldn't hit anyone.

After an hour and a half of fighting, the gunfire on the side of the "Chiang Mai Free Army" finally became quieter, presumably not because of heavy casualties, but because the ammunition they carried was almost exhausted.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Chengye finally couldn't help it and ordered the troops to launch an attack and prepare to finish.

If Zhang Chengye's people don't make a move, it is estimated that this time the "Free Army" will lose a lot of money, and after consuming so many bullets, it is not good to gain nothing.
