Chapter 451: The Thais Who Jumped Inside
γ It can only be said that there are many things in this world that are unexpected, and now an unexpected thing has happened.
Originally, according to Yan Guang's plan, after the Japanese occupied Australia, they turned against the Axis powers while the balance between the Soviet Union and Germany had not yet been broken. By the way, I am using the little brother of Thailand, let this chess piece, which is already a little not very peaceful, be a pawn, and first consume each other with the Japanese expeditionary force in Bangladesh.
After many years of operation, almost all of the people currently in power within the Thai government are pro-Chinese and Chinese-descent, so the national government is still relatively comfortable with Thailand.
The problem is that after the outbreak of World War II, with the liberation of the Malay Peninsula and then Burma by the Thais, some caution began to rise in the hearts of the Thai people.
In fact, it is not surprising, because after liberating the Malay Peninsula and Myanmar successively, the Thais did not even reap any benefits, and it is no wonder that the Thais have some careful thoughts.
For Yan Guang, however, it would be better for China's periphery to remain in a loose, hostile state at all times, so that pressure on China's borders can be minimized. If a unified state emerges on the Indochina Peninsula, which borders China on land, it will be a big problem for China.
So after the Thais liberated Myanmar and the Malay Peninsula successively, Yan Guang didn't give the Thais no reward, but he never gave the Thais what they wanted.
It was in this situation that the Thai people began to have their own careful thoughts.
It's not that Yan Guang is unaware of this kind of careful thinking, but he doesn't care much about it either. After all, all the people in Thailand are pro-China people and "people of Chinese descent", and Yan Guang is more or less at ease with these people.
However, in order to warn the Thais, Yan Guang and Cai Ye and others decided to use them and let them be pawns in the conflict with Japan. At the same time, it is also to use the strength of the Japanese to warn the Thaisββββββ they have left China, they are nothing.
According to the estimates of the General Staff, although the Thais now have a little strength, it may take some effort to eat the 100,000 lone Japanese troops in Bangladesh.
And if China comes forward at the last minute to clean up these lonely troops, wouldn't it be more obvious that China is strong? At the same time, it can also wake up the Thais...
However, Yan Guang and others forget that no matter how pro-China those in power in Thailand are, even a significant number of those in power are of Chinese descent. They always have their own interests...
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
Yan Guang, Cai Yi and others thought a lot about things when they thought about things, but they didn't consider one thing, that is, even if they seemed to be reliable chess pieces, they actually had their own ideas.
Thailand is very pro-China, that's right. But after all, Thailand is not directly controlled by the national government, and those in power in the Thai government also have their own interests.
Originally, the Thais were used as pawns, but they never gave any benefits, which in itself had already made Thailand a little centrifuged, and now a telegram suddenly came. Let them turn their faces with the Japanese who are fighting side by side with them in Bangladesh, which makes the Thais even more dissatisfied.
In the final analysis, not to mention those pro-China Thais, it is those who have lived in Thailand for many years. I also have my own ideas...
Similarly, as a Chinese who has lived abroad for many years. They may also identify with their Chinese identity, or they may have a natural affinity for China. However, some of them may not think that they are Chineseββββββ and this is the same in later generations, many Chinese living abroad identify with their Chinese identity, but they may not feel that they are Chinese, and the same is true now, but it is not as serious as in later generations......
And unlike those Chinese who went to Nanyang or the United States to seek a living, the Chinese in Thailand all migrated from the Ming and Qing dynasties and have lived here for many generations, so the sense of identity of the Thai people is not necessarily lower than that of the Chinese.
Just like Zheng Xin, the founder of the Thonburi Dynasty, is a Chinese.
Zheng Xin, also known as Zheng Zhao (Zhao means "king", not a name), was born in Ayutthaya City, Thailand, and is a Chinese who founded the Thonburi Dynasty in Thailand, and his Thai name is Taksin. Historically known as "Taksin the Great" or "Thonburi the Great", it is one of the five great "Great Emperors" in the minds of the Thai people (Ramkhamhaeng the Great, Nalixuan the Great, Taksin the Great, Maku the Great, Chulalongkorn the Great, or Ramkhamhaeng, Nalixuan, Narai Wang, Zheng Sin, Rama I, Rama V, Rama IX as the Seven Emperors, Ramkhamhaeng, Nalixuan, and Rama V as the Three Great Emperors). οΌ
Zheng Xin's father, Zheng Yong, was born in Chenghai County, China. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, he crossed Siam to the south and lived in the city of Ayuthaya. Married to a Siamese woman, his mother Nuoyang, gave birth to Zheng Xin. Soon after Zheng Yong died, Zheng Xin was adopted as an adopted son by the minister of Siam and received a traditional Thai education. After growing up, he entered politics, and his official residence was Yin in Kampi Province, and he was knighted as Phraya, and the Siamese people called Phraya Dashin.
In 1763, the Burmese army invaded Siam, and Zheng Xin led his troops to defend Siam. In April 1767, the Burmese army captured Siam, and the Ayutthaya dynasty fell. Zheng Xin used the southeastern coastal area as a base to organize the anti-Burmese army, recover Ayutthaya, and move the capital to Thonburi. On December 28 of that year, he was proclaimed king and was known as the Thonburi Dynasty. Subsequently, he eliminated the separatist forces in various places, unified the whole of Siam in 1770, and carried out several military expansions in Cambodia.
However, on April 7, 1782, Zheng Xin was killed in a palace coup. General Chakri, who had returned to Beijing with a large army from the Cambodian front, seized power and established the Bangkok dynasty.
It should be noted that the general who carried out the coup d'Γ©tat was the ancestor of the later Rama I, that is, the current king of Thailand, in other words, the current Kingdom of Siam was actually established by the coup.
King Rama I, the first king of the Bangkok dynasty of Thailand. Formerly known as Thong Luan. Also known as Chao PyaChakri, known as Praputta YotFa Chulalok, it is also known as Zheng Hua in Chinese history. Rama's father came from an aristocratic Thai family, while his mother's name was Daoreung and she was of partial Chinese descent. In the forty-seventh year of Qianlong in China (1782), Zheng Xin was killed by Zhao Pi Yechokri. In the fifty-first year, Zhao approved Yechokri to pay tribute, and Jin called himself Zheng Hua, the son of Xin. The Qing court believed in it and was named King of Siam.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
The above information shows the history of the Chinese in Thailand.
More than 100 years ago, a Chinese became king in Thailand and started a new dynastyββββββ although the king was overthrown after a short time. The original Thonburi dynasty also became the Bangkok dynasty of usurpers...
As early as more than 100 years ago in this world, that is, during the Qianlong period when the Qing Dynasty was still relatively strong, there were Chinese people in Thailand who became the kings at that time.
It's as if the British ran to the United States. And then it became like the Americans.
The Chinese in China ran to Thailand, and after hundreds of years, even if they are still Chinese, they may not identify with their other identity, the identity of the Chinese.
Of course. They still have a natural sense of closeness to China, but when China harms their interests, these Chinese may not be like this...
And now too...
Although it was the support of the national government that allowed these Chinese to successfully ascend to the top of the Thai government. But now, when they feel that their wings have grown stiff. But he may not be willing to be a chess piece. β¦,
Of course, if Thailand is still that Thailand. Japan is still so Japanese, maybe the Thais don't think that way.
However, after years of Chinese assistance, Thailand already has a certain level of strength, which is enough to at least sweep the Indochina Peninsula.
As for Japan...
By now, Japan has expanded its sphere of influence to the South Sea Islands and the whole of Oceania, at least in the eyes of outsiders, Japan is not much inferior to China.
Especially as a member of the Axis powers, Japan also has such an ally as Germany.
Add to that the German sweep across Europe, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the monopoly of the whole of Oceania...
On the other hand, due to secrecy, Yan Guang never told the Thai government about his plan to deal with Japan, even at the highest level. So when the Thai government was informed of this plan, the Thais gritted their teeth and made another decision after being ruthless.
The most important thing is that the national government has always treated Thailand as a pawn, but has never considered Thailand's feelings. In the past, the Chinese were naturally close to China due to blood relations, but when they needed to make a choice between blood and country, most of the Chinese born and raised in Thailand finally chose their own "country"...
"We can't be Chinese pawns anymore..."
Inside the royal palace of Thailand, right in Thailand, King Rama VIII, Anando? In front of Mahiron, Luang Phibun, as Prime Minister of Thailand and Marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force? Song Kan said loudly.
Luang Phibun's original name was Bei? Chidat Sankar, knighted name Luang Phibun? Song Khan was born in a peasant family in Nonthaburi Province, Thailand. He is a Chinese-Thai mixed-race son, his father's surname is Wu, and his ancestral home is Guangdong.
As a Chinese-American, the Nationalist government had heavily funded him as early as when he came to power.
Historically, however, the Thai prime minister was pro-Japanese, and as a Chinese, he was also a supporter of Pan-Thaiism, provoking border disputes externally and inciting ethnic estrangement between Thais and Chinese internally.
Of course, this kind of thing is obviously unlikely to happen in this era, but the nature of the country is easy to change, and the change of history may change many things, such as making Luang Phibun? Song Kham, a Chinese American, went from being pro-Japanese to being pro-Chinese, but at least in Luang Phibun? It seems that he is still a Thai rather than a Chinese.
It's just Luang Phibun? Song Kan is also very smart, he knows very well that his Chinese identity can bring him a lot of support, so he has been using his Chinese identity to his own advantage during his administration, but now...
"I don't need it anymore..."
I thought softly to myself. Luang Phibun? Song Kan looked at the foreign minister.
"Aya, how's the Japanese contact?!"
"I've already made contact with the Japanese!" The foreign minister, named Aye, replied. "The Japanese were very grateful to us, saying that they were grateful for the news we had received, and at the same time the Japanese offered us to join the Axis powers led by Japan and Germany. Jointly fight against the allies and China, and after the matter is completed, the entire Indochina Peninsula and India can be owned by us, Thailand..."
Hear this, Luang Phibun? Song Kan and the others nodded.
They will choose to betray China, isn't that what they want?
There are also a few people in the room who are hesitant to betray China, after all, China is really a behemoth compared to Thailand, and if one of them is not done well, I am afraid that the whole of Thailand will suffer a catastrophe.
But thinking of those who have already been luang phibun? Praise the opponents who were under house arrest or simply killed outright, and in the end they gritted their teeth.
"It's gambling..."
A middle-aged man in his 40s groaned.
"That's right, it's gambling." Luang Phibun? Song Kan glanced at him coldly. "Lose. The whole of Thailand will be owned by the Chinese, but if we win, we will not only be able to free ourselves from the slavery of the Chinese, but also turn Thailand into a power that is not inferior to China and Japan. This gamble is worth seeing..."...,
Hear Luang Phibun? Song Kan's words, the others nodded.
In fact, this is also the confusion of the international situation for them, after all, Germany is fighting really well in Europe now, and the British side will not mention it for the time being. On the Russian side, Moscow looks precarious.
On the other hand, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, almost all of the United States' forces in the Pacific were reduced back to their homeland, leaving the Japanese to gallop in the Pacific and Oceania.
This situation also gives the Thai people a feeling. In the current situation of the Allies and Russia, even if China is involved, I am afraid that it will be powerless...
This is one of the most important reasons why Thailand dares to betray...
After all, the situation in Germany and Japan is really good. Who would dare to say that the Axis would be defeated in such a situation?
ββββββββββββββββββββ
"How's it going?"
At the staff headquarters, Yan Guang asked with a cold face.
After the order was given that the Thai government would be asked to wipe out all the Japanese troops in Bangladesh. The Thai government has been perfunctory in its promises, and then some pro-Chinese and ethnic Chinese in Thailand have begun to disappear or be placed under house arrest.
Although the Military Intelligence Agency has always been more comfortable with the situation in Thailand, there is such a situation, even if the Military Intelligence Agency is sluggish, it understands that something must be wrong.
And after a series of investigations, in just a few days, the military intelligence agency has come to the conclusion that the Thai government has turned to the Axis powers.
To be honest, this conclusion is really a bit unexpected, after all, the Thai government has always been obedient in the past, although in recent times because of the war, the whole country of Thailand seems to have a little thought, but Yan Guang never thought that Thailand would betray...
And yet, now...
"According to the information from the Military Intelligence Agency, the Thais have probably told the Japanese everything, and now the Japanese are transferring the Combined Fleet back to their homeland, and the troops in Australia and the South Seas are also beginning to urgently return ..."
On the side, Wang Yaowu said with a frown.
This situation is not good, after all, the Japanese prepare one day earlier, and the battle will be difficult for a day...
"These damn Thais..."
Hearing Wang Yaowu say this, Yan Guang gritted his teeth and said.
"How's the relationship between the Americans and the Russians..."
"Still in contact!"
"Well, we have to hurry up on this matter, and we must get it done before they know about it..."
Hearing Wang Yaowu say this, Yan Guang nodded and said.
Originally, Yan Guang wanted to take advantage of the opportunity for the United States, Russia, and Britain to take advantage of the fire to rob, or at least to replan the post-war sphere of influence or something. In fact, Yan Guang is still very confident in his plan, after all, Moscow is now in danger, the people on the American coast are worried about the possible landing of the Japanese army until now, and the ground in Britain and London is about to be blown flat by the Germans by one meter...
At this time, if you make your own conditions, no matter how harsh the conditions are, the Allies and the Russians have the possibility of agreeing, after all, if you agree, it will be hemorrhage at most, but if you don't agree...
If the Axis had won, it wouldn't have been just a matter of bleeding...
Now, however, these things have been screwed up by the Thais!
Originally, I wanted the Thais to be cannon fodder and pawns, let them and the Japanese consume it first, and by the way, I was knocking these Thais who were a little restless at the beginning.
No one expected that as soon as the order came down here, the Thais over there would sell themselves.
Now the fact that he is preparing to turn against Japan and the Germans has been known to the Japanese. The original plan for the raid would definitely not work, and worst of all, if the Americans and Russians knew about it, it would be difficult to say whether the original conditions would be able to talk about success.
After all, now that the Axis powers have been offended because of this incident, many things are already on the line, and they have to be sent...
In other words, Britain and the United States don't need to beg themselves at all, they already have to jump out ...
"Forget it, tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, just say that the conditions can be lowered a little, but they must be reached as soon as possible..."
"Yes!!"
After everyone left, Yan Guang said angrily as he looked at the information on the table.
"I thought it was loyalty, but I didn't expect it to be an insider, and it's an internal !! who jumps back." (To be continued......)
