The history of the king of the Bangkok dynasty turned into a puppet is not very long...

King Rama VI, known as Zheng Bao in Chinese, was the sixth monarch of the Bangkok dynasty and the first king in Thai history to study abroad. After returning from England, he served as an army general, ascending to the throne in 1910 and carrying out the famous Chokri reforms in the country (which at the time ruled in present-day Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia).

King Rama VI has done many things, such as introducing a compulsory education system to build infrastructure such as power plants, sewers, and Bangkok International Airport.

In addition, the white elephant flag, which has been used by Rama II to the present day, was abolished and the tricolor flag used today was designed. A new surname law was enacted to allow the general public to have a family name. Change the era of the Thai calendar to Buddha Nirvana. Became the third country in the world to introduce Scouting. In order to improve the level of environmental sanitation in Thailand, the Thai Red Cross was also established when the daughter of Rama V's half-brother died of rabies. To make up for the lack of Thai vocabulary, many new words were invented.

In addition, Rama VI himself was fluent in English and French, wrote and translated many literary works, and even wrote plays to perform in front of the public. Imitate the West and abolish polygamy. Promote the policy of assimilation of the Chinese. Participated in the First World War, after which he joined the League of Nations. We send many English and French students. Transformed the Imperial Garden into a public amusement park and established the first public library in the garden.

King Rama VI was determined to build the Thai Army into a modern, well-trained regular force, and he overhauled the national army and separated the Royal Thai Navy from the Ministry of Defence to form the Royal Admiralty, with his brother Prince Bripa as Minister of the Navy.

On May 1, 1911, he announced the formation of a new paramilitary organization in Bangkok. Given the name "Wild Tigers". It was formed on the model of the British Wehrmacht, which was divided into regiments and brigades on the model of the British army. The difference is that it is a direct army under the personal command of King Rama VI. Later, he formed the Wild Tigers Royal Forest Army. Officials from the court were recruited to participate, and military training was held daily.

Therefore, at that time, the king of Thailand was not only not a puppet, but quite authoritative.

It was not until October 1, 1921, that he promulgated the Regulations on Compulsory Primary Education. To ensure that all children in Siam can enjoy free compulsory education, and to increase the number of students who are selected from among the common people...

If the previous reforms were good, then this measure is a self-digging grave for the Bangkok dynasty.

This is because, despite many of the policies pursued by King Rama VI, financial management was rather sloppy (especially the Scout-centred security forces, which were financially oppressive). Eventually, the country's finances deteriorated seriously during the subsequent reign of King Rama VII, and the king's centralized rule was overturned, centered on the French students sent out by King Rama VI, and was replaced by a constitutional monarchy.

King Rama VII was the younger brother of King Rama VI. At that time, it was actually the second in the order of succession to the throne. Due to the unexpected and early death of Crown Prince Asdg Dedschavudh in February 1925, he ascended to the throne in November 1925 without adequate preparation. Soon after his accession to the throne, he encountered a world economic crisis (the Great Depression), and Siam was not immune. The young king, who had been highly educated in Europe, found that he did not have much to do in the palace, and in order to save money, he laid off a large number of palace laborers. and again dismissed a large number of public servants. However, this caused widespread discontent and annoyed the military, which, combined with the poor economic situation at the time, culminated in a revolution in the summer of 1932 with the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The new government gave the king two choices: to hand over power to parliament to remain king (constitutional monarchy) or to abdicate outright, and Rama VII chose to retain the throne.

He famously replied at that time: "In order that the process of forming a constitutional monarchy may be carried out as gently as possible." I agree to be a puppet. So the king of Thailand became a puppet from then on...

It should also be noted that in history, from the accession of King Rama VI of Thailand to the throne in 1944, Luang Phibun? In the more than 30 years since the collapse of the military regime, the Thai ruling class has set off the first wave of anti-Chinese in the history of Thai-Chinese relations. It can be said that Rama VI was the first to kick off the anti-Chinese movement, and the Kuomintang government, which created a constitutional monarchy, put the anti-Chinese scandal on the stage. The Songkan government performed this ugly drama to the fullest. Throughout this period, almost all of the anti-Chinese policies were based on 'restricting the political rights of Chinese people, suppressing the Chinese economy, and preventing the spread of Chinese culture', but there were slight similarities and differences in specific measures.

————————————————————

Although since the coup d'état in the summer of 1932. The king of Thailand has completely become a puppet, but 1932 has only been ten years since now, not to mention that the king has always been the leader of the country on the surface, so regardless of the real power, Rama VIII still has considerable influence in Thailand.

It is also for this reason that when the Thai Navy gunboats patrolling the sea discovered that it was Rama VIII on the motorboat. Although Luang Phibun? Song Kan's order was not to let the people on the boat run away even if he sank the motorboat, but in the end, the naval officers and sailors on the gunboat watched the motorboat leave.

Officers on the gunboat during the period. After discovering that the soldiers were reluctant to attack, he tried to sink the motorboat with his own hands, but was eventually stopped by the soldiers...

Thanks to them, in the end, Rama VIII arrived safely under the escort of Li Xiangyang. And wait until Luang Phibun? After Song Kan and Yamashita Fengwen learned the news, although they regretted it, they were helpless.

But one thing they still know is that Bangkok is absolutely unfortunate.

And it is very likely that Bangkok will fall sooner than expected.

Because Thailand, at least the nominal leader, has already "surrendered" to the enemy at this time ...

"General, it seems that your arrangements need to be accelerated..."

Standing in the bedroom that originally belonged to King Rama VIII, looking at the dark secret passage in front of him, Luang Phibun? Song Kan said to the mountain next to him.

At this time, Yamashita Fengwen also knew that he was not blaming Luang Phibun? When Song Kan was unfavorable, he nodded hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it as soon as possible..."

With that, Yamashita walked out of Rama VIII's bedroom. Prepare to report the information of Rama VIII's escape to Tokyo.

However, at this time, Yamashita Fengwen's heart was somewhat apprehensive, although as the backbone of the Imperial Dao faction, Yamashita Fengwen had some considerable influence in the army. This kind of influence is even so great that after the 226 incident in history, he was transferred to the commander of the 40th Brigade of the Soldiers in Yongsan, North Korea. Yamashita Bongbun, who left the Ministry of the Army, is a man of the hour even in North Korea.

The brigade commander does not have many affairs in the management of the army in peacetime. The division commander is in charge of major matters, and the wing commander below is responsible for small matters. So for Yamashita Bongbun, life in North Korea can be said to be as calm as water. But his colleagues around him knew that he had been at the center of power. It's just that 226 has been "demoted" to this point, so I am a little in awe of him. Even the Japanese governor in Korea went beyond the army commander and division commander to discuss the issue directly with him, and Yamashita Fumifumi unabashedly raised his own objections during the discussion.

However, after all, it is Tojo Hideki, who belongs to the same faction as Yamashita Fumi, who is in power now, and after Yamashita Fumimi won the name of "Malay Tiger", he was unable to return to his homeland for this reason, and now such a big thing has happened. No one knows if Hidei Tojo won't take advantage of the topic to play...

"But I'm afraid the Chinese will start attacking the city soon, I believe that that guy from Tojo should not punish me at this time?" ..., thinking of this, while Yamashita Fengfumi felt lucky, he didn't know whether he should be grateful for harming him into such a Chinese.

And things did as Yamashita had predicted, after learning that Rama VIII had been rescued by the Chinese. Hideki Tojo was quite annoyed.

But at such a critical moment, Hideki Tojo couldn't replace Yamashita Fufumi, after all, changing in battle would be a taboo for soldiers, and Hideki Tojo still understands this.

————————————————————

Soon after Rama VIII was taken into the army, Ho Chuk Kwok ordered artillery and air forces to drop a large number of leaflets into the city. As for the contents of the leaflet, of course, it is the fact that Rama VIII has thrown himself into the national government.

At the same time, in order to prevent Yamashita Fengwen and others from denying it, He Zhuguo also added a sentence to the leaflet.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Yamashita Fengfu and others to bring Rama VIII to everyone to explain."

He Zhuguo is quite confident. Yamashita Fengwen and the others will never be able to hand over real people.

Moreover, this matter of Rama VIII is also very urgent, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible for them to find a stand-in that is exactly the same as Rama VIII.

Ho Chuk-kook's ploy worked, and after seeing the leaflets, there was indeed a commotion among the Thai troops. Quite a few junior officers and rank-and-file soldiers even ran to Luang Phibun? Praise them and ask them to explain clearly. Is Rama VIII really no longer in Bangkok as the flyer says, if so? Was Narama VIII kidnapped, or did he pass by voluntarily, as the Chinese say?

In the face of everyone's questioning, Luang Phibun? Song Kan and others were anxious.

However, in a hurry, Luang Phibun? Song Kan really can't find a guy who is exactly the same as Rama VIII, as for getting the same guy out and replacing it?

The king of Thailand is not like the emperor of China, he is not the kind who has always lived in the palace, and after the constitutional monarchy, Rama VIII has completely become a puppet, so Rama VIII's exposure in front of the public is actually not small.

In this case, if you get one out at random, it will be easy to puncture.

So finally Luang Phibun? Song Khan can only reluctantly admit that Rama VIII is indeed not in Bangkok, of course Luang Phibun? Song Kan never admitted that Rama VIII voluntarily defected to the Chinese Alliance, only that he was kidnapped by the Chinese...

However, the ordinary officers and the public did not believe much in such words.

After all, Rama VIII's family is not small, and there are a few people in it, so a large family was kidnapped out of Bangkok without a sound, and it was still in Luang Phibun? Under the strict supervision of Songkan and Yamashita Fengfumi, is it possible for such a thing to happen?

On the other side, He Zhuguo was not in a hurry to attack the city, but kept dropping leaflets into Bangkok.

I have to say Luang Phibun? Songkham's purge was still relatively effective, and Rama VIII had been a puppet for many years, so even under the attack of leaflets, there were still no Thai troops who defected to China as He Zhuguo thought.

Fortunately, the expected chaos did occur. Even at night, there is even a dense burst of gunfire in Bangkok, as confirmed by members of the Military Intelligence Agency (MIA) lurking in Bangkok.

So on the third day of Rama VIII's arrival in the Wehrmacht barracks, shelling and bombardment began ...

Intensive bombardment and shelling almost flattened the defensive line outside Bangkok. The Thai army on the defensive line also fell in morale because of the incident of Rama VIII, and almost collapsed under the offensive of the Wehrmacht.

Fortunately, the Japanese did not have many troops in Bangkok, and a considerable number of them needed to be deployed in the city. Help Luang Phibun? Songkan deals with the chaos in the city. ..., so after a day and a night of shelling and bombardment, and when the Japanese casualties on the line were almost exhausted, the Wehrmacht launched another offensive against Bangkok, and attacked directly into the city.

On this situation, Luang Phibun? Song Khan and Yamashita Bongwen also had no choice, after all, because of the incident of Rama VIII, the morale of the Thai army fell too quickly. And with tens of thousands of Japanese troops alone, it is obviously impossible to defend against a huge Bangkok.

"Mr. Prime Minister, it looks like the plan is going to be advanced..."

Listening to the sound of gunfire in the city, Yamashita Fengwen turned his head to Luang Phibun? Praise the way.

"How much longer?"

Luang Phibun? Song Kan asked.

"I don't know," Yamashita shook his head, normally. Siege warfare is an absolute nightmare for the besieging side, just think about the defense battles that are now taking place in various parts of Russia. However, urban warfare is also extremely cruel, and it is also a test of the perseverance of both the offensive and defensive sides, and now the morale of the Thai army has fallen too fast, so it is really a matter of uncertainty how long Bangkok, which could hold out at least half to a month in the opinion of Yamashita Fengwen.

If you're unlucky. Two or three days is also possible...

After all, the vast majority of the Thai troops in Bangkok today are unmotivated...

Although Yamashita was once known as the "Tiger of Malay", it is now also known as the "Tiger of Indochina". However, Yamashita Fumimi is not a god after all, and it is impossible to turn things around in the face of absolute superiority, otherwise Japan would not have been defeated in history.

And just at the foot of the mountain Bongwen and Luang Phibun? While Song Kan was still there with a long sigh, the air force units, under the guidance of the ground forces that had already entered the city, attacked those more difficult strongholds in the city.

There is no need to worry about the air force accidentally injuring their own people, because the siege troops are carrying colored smoke grenades. Not only can this smoke grenade be thrown by hand, but it can also be fired from a distance using a grenade launcher.

Therefore, the siege troops only need to place this smoke bomb. Thrown near the target, the summoned air force unit will naturally aim at the target and bomb.

Of course, this must be a bit dangerous, after all, to bomb targets more accurately, even dive bombers need to be reduced to a lower distance, and at this time the Japanese and Thais can shoot with anti-aircraft machine guns and other equipment.

In fact, dive bombers have been shot down in the near double digits so far.

However, compared to the results they achieved, this loss was still bearable.

On the first day, about three divisions of infantry troops had entered Bangkok, and by the second day, nearly ten divisions had already entered Bangkok.

Under the onslaught of these besieging forces, the defenders of the city were defeated one after another, and many Thai troops surrendered without even resistance. By now, if it weren't for the existence of the Japanese as the mainstay, I am afraid that Bangkok would have fallen into the hands of Ho Zhu Guo.

However, according to He Zhuguo, it is actually not very far from this time.

By the third day, the besieging force had occupied at least one-third of the city, and by the fifth day, it had already occupied one-half, or half, of Bangkok.

And the siege force is also getting closer and closer to the Prime Minister's Office in Bangkok, and the Yamashita Bongbun and Luang Phibun who are commanding the battle in the Prime Minister's Office? Songkan could even hear the sound of a pistol relatively clearly...

On the other hand, He Zhuguo also thought about ordering the troops to control the port of Bangkok first.

It's just that the people in charge of guarding the port are the elite of Yamashita Bongbun and Luang Phibun? As a result, the offensive against the port has been a failure. ..., but this is also considered to Luang Phibun? Songkhan sounded the alarm bell, so that Luang Phibun, who has been reluctant to leave Bangkok? Song Kan understands that if you don't go. He didn't have to go...

"General, let's go..."

After tidying up the costumes, Luang Phibun? Songkan said to the mountain down.

Long before He Zhuguo began to attack the city, Luang Phibun? Song Khan's family has already been sent to Australia by Yamashita Fengwen, so now Luang Phibun? Song can be so light in the true sense of the word...

And to hear Luang Phibun? Words of Songkan. Yamashita also nodded.

"Mr. Prime Minister, please!"

Although the city of Bangkok was already in battle at this time, Yamashita and the others always controlled several routes to the port, so it was easy to get there all the way.

But when they arrived at the port, the gunfire near the port became intense. It seems that He Zhuguo has never given up on capturing the port, and will Fengwen and Luang Phibun under the mountain? Song Kan cleaned up the idea together.

It's a pity that from the perspective of time, it's too late anyway...

When Luang Phibun? After getting on a heavy cruiser that greeted him, he stood on the deck and looked back at Luang Phibun in Bangkok? Song Kan pondered for a moment, no one knew what was going on in his head, and no one knew if he had ever regretted his choice to join the Axis powers.

Anyway. All this has been with Luang Phibun? Song Kan has nothing to do with it.

Luang Phibun now? The only thing Song Kan hopes is that after losing his capital and most of his army, he will not become an insignificant little person...

And at the same time, Luang Phibun? The news of Song Kham's escape from the city has also spread to the ears of the defenders in Bangkok...

————————————————————

When Luang Phibun? When the news of Songkham's escape spread throughout Bangkok. For the Thai army in Bangkok, the news came like a bolt from the blue.

After Rama VIII volunteered to the Chinese side, the vast majority of the Thai troops who were still fighting in the city were Luang Phibun? Songkan's descendants. And one of the reasons why they will continue to fight is because of Luang Phibun? Songkhan is still in the city.

And now Luang Phibun? The escape of Songkhan made all the previous battles of these Thai officers and soldiers meaningless.

So when the news spread throughout the city, the Thai troops that were still fighting collapsed.

The Wehrmacht responsible for the siege was discovered. Many offensive and strongholds, which were originally more difficult to bite, are now undefended, and even many Thai soldiers who were still fighting to the death with them have come out with white flags.

The officers and men of the Wehrmacht who were fighting in front of them were naturally unknown. And when the news reached He Zhuguo, He Zhuguo quickly understood, it was definitely Luan Phibun? The two guys, Songkan and Yamashita Bongbun, ran away.

If this were not the case, it would be absolutely impossible for the Thai troops in the city to have such a situation en masse.

For Ho Zhu Guo, although he failed to bring Luang Phibun? It's a pity for him that the two guys, Songkan and Yamashita Bongbun, caught it. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to take Bangkok at a relatively small cost?

After all, urban warfare is still too cruel after all. Although the morale of the Thai people has dropped a lot because of the events of King Rama VIII, the IDF has still paid thousands of casualties these days. If you really continue to fight, breaking 10,000 is an absolute thing.

Therefore, while reporting the news to Beijing, He Zhuguo also sent people to invite Rama VIII, who he arranged for protection.

Although the fate of Rama VIII in the future is estimated to be the same as in the past, it can only be a puppet in the hands of the new Thai government and the Chinese government. But at this time, this puppet is still very useful, after all, he is also the nominal leader of Thailand anyway.

And most importantly, Ho Zhu Guo needs him to subdue the guerrillas that are everywhere in Thailand.

In the days when the offensive against Bangkok was launched, the guerrillas in Thailand attacked the guerrillas of Ho Zhu Guo like crazy, not only all the railways and bridges along the way were blown up, but even the automobile units transporting supplies were blown up hundreds of trucks...

Although these guerrillas will not have any impact on the overall situation, it is also a good thing to solve them as soon as possible.

Therefore, He Zhuguo needed to give Rama VIII a gorgeous ceremony to enter the city, so as to enhance Rama VIII's influence...
