Although the Manchu Dynasty once called itself the Celestial Empire during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty closed itself to the country, the gap between China, the Celestial Empire, and the Western countries began to reverse and be overtaken.

However, until the First Opium War in 1840, China was still a very powerful country in the eyes of the British, after all, China was the oldest civilization in the East, and its size and population were located there.

It is precisely for this reason that some countries in the Far East have always been protected by China, even if this protection is only an invisible deterrent.

But after the Opium Wars ended, it all ended like a war...

For example, the Bowling Treaty signed between Britain and Thailand in 1855...

Of course, the tiger's death is still in danger, so the attitude of Britain and France and other powers towards China is still relatively cautious. And China, if it can take advantage of this opportunity to develop itself, at least not to hold a closed attitude and lower its arrogant head, maybe there will still be a chance...

And then...

The Second Opium War...

At this point, the Western powers have completely understood that China is nothing more than a paper tiger.

As a result, the great powers began to make exploratory moves, such as the French, who had already gained substantial control over Vietnam in the early stage of the Sino-French War, and more than 90% of Vietnam's territory and major cities (such as Hue, Hanoi, and Saigon, the capital at that time) had fallen into the hands of the French...

However, the Sino-French war still became the catalyst for the Western powers to carve up the Far East...

First, the Netherlands took advantage of the outbreak of the Sino-French War and began to redeploy the occupation operation. In 1884, the Dutch invaded the Republic of Lanfang, and although the Republic of Lanfang resisted, it was eventually outnumbered and defeated, and the remnants of its forces fled to Sumatra. However, still fearing a reaction from the Qing government, the Dutch did not openly claim to have occupied the Lanfang region, but instead set up another puppet to rule. It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912 that the Dutch officially declared its occupation of the Lanfang region. From the founding of the Republic to its demise, the Republic of Lanfang has experienced more than 100 years.

Then there was Burma, which in 1886 won the Third Anglo-Burmese War, which eventually made Burma a province of India and established its government in Yangon.

Then came Laos, which became a French protectorate in 1893.

In 1896, Britain and France signed the Declaration on Siam and Other Places, which listed Siam as a "buffer state" between the two colonies, and then Britain and France demarcated their sphere of influence in 1904: east of the Chao Phraya River was the French sphere of influence, and west of the British sphere of influence. Although Siam did not become a colony of the Great Powers, it was exceptionally the only country in Southeast Asia to remain politically independent, but it was only a semi-colonial state...

If Yan Guang wants to establish a yellow circle to counter the invasion and influence of white countries, then it is imperative to return to those former Chinese subjects on the Indochina Peninsula.

However, in the later stages of the war, China had already reaped enough benefits from the First World War to satisfy Yan Guang's appetite. Therefore, in Yan Guang's view, after the end of the war, the primary goal of the national government was to consolidate the benefits gained in the war, and the second was to expand its influence in Southeast Asian countries.

It is also for this reason that Yan Guang did not even think about interfering in the civil war that took place in Saudi Arabia.

Because Yan Guang did not want to excessively irritate Britain, France and other countries at this time, after all, the newly acquired territory in the war was too large, so even China would need at least ten years to consolidate.

However, Yan Guang is not worried about what will happen to the Indochina Peninsula in this decade.

Because even at this time, the Chinese still have a great influence in Indochina, and even Thai Prime Minister Luang Phibun? Song Kham, a Thai who has been preaching "Great Thai Nationalism" since he took office, is also a ...... of Chinese origin, and he is from Luang Phibun? Regardless of his civil and military background, almost all of the prime ministers are Chinese-Thai or have Chinese ancestry. On the contrary, there are fewer than five prime ministers who are indigenous to Thailand.

In other words, as long as it can get the support of the Chinese, the Nationalist government can gain enough influence in Indochina.

However, the actions of Britain, France and the Soviet Union disrupted Yan Guang's plan.

Originally, Yan Guang was going to attack Britain, France and other countries in the sphere of influence after consolidating his newly acquired interests, but now in order to achieve the purpose of revenge, he also had to take emergency action.

However, what made Yan Guang wonder was whether the actions of Britain, France and the Soviet Union in the Middle East and the Caucasus were just accidental, or whether they had been premeditated in advance, or even united...

If it's just by chance, it's okay, but if the two sides have already united...

"That's a big problem..."

――――――――――

In fact, Yan Guang was too worried, yes, both Britain and France and Soviet Russia regarded the Nationalist government as a thorn in their side, but it was really difficult to unite Britain, France and the Soviet Union.

Leaving aside the fact that the capitalist government represented by Britain and France was itself opposed to the Soviet Union, it should not be forgotten that China was not the only of the 14 imperialist countries that intervened during the Soviet and Russian civil war―――――― although China was the most ruthless...

Although Britain, France, and Soviet Russia all did not like China, this incident was indeed accidental.

For example, Britain and France, after the end of the war, Britain and France actually did not think of attacking China so quickly, after all, the price paid by Britain and France in the war was too great, so big that the two countries could no longer afford a big war.

Moreover, after the First World War, most of Europe had developed a phobia of war.

So all this should have been calm until Britain and France regained their national strength...

Prior to this, the British and French would support the independent organizations in the occupied territories and would support the local guerrillas, but this was only to maintain the influence of the British and French in the region, and incidentally caused some minor damage to the national government.

If no oil fields in the Middle East have been discovered...

The discovery of the three oil fields in the Middle East undoubtedly gave Britain and France a head start, and the fact that the oil fields once belonged to Britain and France made Britain and France even more angry.

Therefore, in the face of financial difficulties, Britain and France have already adopted a decision to support the local resistance groups on a large scale. Especially in the United Kingdom, not long after the advent of oil in the Middle East, Britain's MI6, that is, M16, set up a D unit dedicated to sabotage and subversion missions, and this department originally appeared in 1930 in history...

Britain and France are well aware that in the oil fields of the Middle East, there is no doubt that the Nationalist government will catch up with and overtake its own accelerator...

Watching your opponent overtake you without making any moves?

Although Britain and France have indeed done many stupid things in history, as old imperialist countries, the two countries are not so stupid...

However, at least so far, Britain and France have not thought of a frontal conflict with China, after all, national strength does not allow it.

Moreover, Britain and France were also afraid that if things got bigger, the Nationalist government would massively suppress the local resistance―――――― and now it was not a few decades from now, if it was to suppress the resistance under such an excuse, few countries would interfere.

None of this matters, though, and the most important thing is that both Iraq and Kuwait have small populations.

For example, Iraq has a population of less than three million, and Kuwait? It has a population of less than 100,000, and if such a population really makes China angry, maybe in the future, not only the resistance groups, but also the local indigenous people will be wiped out...... so the actions of Britain and France have always been maintained within a range that China can tolerate.

Until Soviet Russia made a move, leaving Britain and France stunned for a while...

――――――――――

Although Britain and France were supporting resistance groups and guerrillas in Kuwait and Iraq, they did not think that these resistance groups could do what hundreds of thousands of troops could not do. Therefore, the British and French actions were just to maintain their influence in Iraq and other places, and to make Yan Guang find some trouble.

If Britain and France want to make any big moves, they will have to wait at least one or two decades later, when the national strength of Britain and France has recovered from the war, and at that time, Britain and France will be able to do many things with the influence they have planted now.

The British are very confident that what they are doing now will not challenge the bottom line of the national government.

As the British had predicted, after the attack on the oil fields, the Wehrmacht pursued them to the border and clashed with the British and French border guards, but in the end they retreated...

However...

"The Russians ..."

Looking at the information that MI6 had just sent back, Churchill's head was also starting to hurt a little.

Churchill was confident that the attack on the oil fields would not challenge the Nationalist government's bottom line, because the British had supported many resistance groups in the past, but most of them were concentrated in the Erzurum region of Turkey and the Caucasus in Russia.

In fact, the British also thought of supporting resistance groups in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, but unlike later generations, the main ethnic composition of Kazakhstan and other places at this time was the Tatars, plus the Russians oppressed the Tatars very heavily during the Tsarist period, and the first step after the national government controlled Kazakhstan and other places was to reduce various harsh taxes, so the Kazakhs did not have great resistance to the arrival of the Chinese.

In addition, almost all the rebels in Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet and other places were sent to build railways, so even if the British wanted to support them, they could not find anyone to support them.

In the end, the British also thought of getting the Japanese to intervene and support the local Russians in Vladivostok and other places. However, the newly inaugurated Yuan Jing put on the appearance of a pacifist and made the British calculations completely fail...

"Now I just hope that the Chinese will not think that we are united with the Russians..."

On the other side, the newly appointed British Prime Minister Stanley? Baldwin said, holding his forehead.

"This, I'm afraid it's unlikely..."

No way, who calls the timing such a coincidence.

In fact, the Russians did not think of launching an attack on the newly occupied southern Volga River and the Caucasus region of China at this time, after all, the Soviet Union had only just been formed, and even the intervention forces of the Entente had not withdrawn for a few years.

To be honest, Russians have mixed feelings about the Commune government.

For the ordinary Russian people at the bottom, the Chinese are the biggest enemies who dig a piece of meat from them. However, for the Soviet and Russian governments, Britain and France were their mortal enemies, after all, the Nationalist government only dug a piece of meat from them during the war of intervention against the Soviet Union, but it had supported them a lot at the moment of crisis.

But what about Britain and France? but they came to ask for their lives...

However, it is also true that a piece of meat was cut off by the Nationalist government, so the Russians have been planning to recapture the Caucasus and other regions that were cut out. Because of this, the Russians supported many partisans and resistance groups in the Caucasus and the southern Volga region, some of which were simply formed by the Russian Red Army that originally lived in these areas...

This is also the reason why the Wehrmacht was a little difficult to deal with the guerrillas when they exchanged fire. ..., unlike the rabble in Kuwait, these were once battle-hardened Red Army soldiers...

However, the Russians did not expect to activate these Red Army troops in the above-mentioned areas so soon, after all, Russia's strength has not yet recovered much. It's just that after learning the news that the British had launched an attack, the Russians also took advantage of the situation to cooperate.

And as the Russians thought, the Chinese have been introduced into the misunderstanding of the union of Britain and the Soviet Union ...

Although it will not take long for the Chinese to react, it is enough...

――――――――――

"So, we're back..."

Standing in front of the king of the Chokri dynasty, Rama VI, also known as Vajirava, Hu Xin smiled softly.

That's right, as Husin said, they are back ...

Although the original Nationalist government had become the third most powerful country in the world after Britain and the United States, it did not think about touching the ――――――spheres of influence of Britain and France for at least ten years because the territory acquired after the war was too large and it took a while to consolidate relations.

However, since Britain and Soviet Russia have already taken the lead, Yan Guang can only make some responses.

And the countries of Central and South China, which have a large number of ethnic Chinese, are the first stop of the revenge of the national government.

By the time Hu Xin arrived in Bangkok on a passenger ship, many agents of the Military Intelligence Agency had already infiltrated the countries of Central and South China, contacting some of the local tribes and the more influential ethnic Chinese.

The reason why a special envoy was sent to Rama VI's side was because Thailand was now the only country in Indochina that still existed. As for other countries? Because they have become colonies, they can only contact local Chinese and tribes.

However, Yan Guangzhi is not worried that this will affect the effect, or that the effect of doing so will be better.

Moreover, in the countries of Central and South China, there were many organizations that resisted the British and French colonizers. What the MIA does, like MI6's newly created Division D, is nothing more than subversive and sabotage.

"However, the British and the French are not so easy to deal with..."

Looking at the smiling Hu Xin, Rama VI had a tangled face.

It is impossible to say that Rama VI did not hate the British and the French, after all, both countries have cut a lot of flesh from Thailand. But in the same way, Rama VI was well aware of the strength of these two countries, after all, these two countries were among the most powerful countries in the world, even after the First World War.

And...

Rama VI had another concern in his mind...

Britain and France are indeed hateful, but are the Chinese just good at getting along?

If it was in the past, the Manchu Qing who had always thought that they were the Celestial Empire, maybe Rama VI could still think so. However, Thailand is not an ordinary indigenous country, and in fact, to some extent, Thailand is even more westernized than China.

In particular, King Rama VI, who is now in front of Hu Sin, introduced a compulsory education system to build infrastructure such as power plants, sewers, and Bangkok International Airport.

The white elephant flag 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 sanitation in Thailand, King Rama VI also established the Thai Red Cross Society 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. He is fluent in English and French, and has written and translated many literary works, and even written 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. Even King Rama VI himself studied English, French and law at the age of 13 at Christcher's College in London.

After graduating from Christian College, he studied military and law at Sandhurst Military Academy in England and then at the University of Oxford. During his nine years in England, he served in the British Army and traveled to Egypt. When he returned to China, he chose to return to Siam from the United States and Japan, and in the United States, he met with the then President of the United States, Theodore? Russveld, who consulted him on many Western political issues, also visited the famous West Point Military Academy.

Such a king, if he is like the ruler of the former Qing Dynasty, or even the ruler of Beiyang in another time and space, it is too underestimating him.

King Rama VI knew very well about China's annexation of many territories in Russia and Turkey during World War I.

Therefore, Rama VI was by no means less vigilant than Britain and France, and even more vigilant than Britain and France.

After all, as a buffer state of Britain and France in the Indochina Peninsula, Siam still maintains a certain degree of independence, but if the Chinese expel the British and French forces from the Indochina Peninsula, who dares to guarantee that the entire Indochina Peninsula, including Thailand itself, will not be annexed by China?

You must know that excluding Iraq and Turkey, the territory that China has ceded from Russia is much larger than the entire Indochina Peninsula itself.

Rama VI doesn't want to turn away wolves at the front door and tigers at the back door, and this tiger is still very ferocious.

However, Rama VI did not dare to directly reject Hu Xin, after all, China was lying next to Siam, and if China was unhappy, even if Siam was protected by Britain and France, I am afraid that it would have to lose a piece of meat.

"It would be nice if the current China was still the Manchu dynasty of the past, at least it would be easy to fool..."

Although he thought so in his heart, Rama VI said with a smile on his face.

"Since your country is willing to help our country expel the Western invaders, our country is naturally willing, but..."

Years of Westernized education and the experience of studying abroad did not make King Rama VI see China as the Celestial Empire like the older generation of Thais.

And Hu Xin in front of Rama VI not only saw this, but also saw Rama VI's scruples about China.

However, Hu Xin didn't say anything about this, just smiled.

"Please rest assured that our country has no plans to directly wage war against Britain and France, and the contemptible people have only come to say hello this time..."

"Say hello?"

"That's right, say hello..."

At the time of Hu Xin's remarks, the tribes on the Indochina Peninsula that had reached some kind of consensus with the Military Intelligence Agency had already obtained enough large quantities of arms from the borders of various countries with China, provided by the Military Intelligence Agency.

Although the standing army of the army has reached 2 million people, the number of the army at the time of mobilization is only a lot more than this number, so by the end of the war, the army has a large number of light weapons but no one uses them.

Now that they have been connected with the resistance groups on the Indochina Peninsula, they can be regarded as having a place to go for these weapons.

In a month, just one month, the CIA has imported at least 200,000 Mauser rifles and more than 50,000 Browning pistols into Indochina, and the CIA has also provided a large number of mortars and grenades and other weapons...

In addition, in some of the larger tribes and resistance organizations, the MIA also plans to send some agents to help them train their troops, so that these resistance groups will not be like the Arabs in the Middle East, even if they have the best weapons, they are just a group of rabble―――――― the MIA and the Military Defense Bureau were built by the National Social Army in the early years, and most of the members of these two departments are still from military backgrounds, so there is no need to worry about the quality of training at all.

After contacting, Hu Xin, as a special envoy, had also returned to Beijing to report the results of the trip to Yan Guang.

“……… So, it seems that this guy named Vazirava can't be used? ”

Using a bone to tease the huskies around him, Yan Guang turned his head and smiled at Hu Xin.

"That's right, this Wajurava seems to have a deep concern for us, too..."

"In this case, let's take a look first, if there is no way, then support another one out..."

"Understood..."

Not long after, the Military Intelligence Bureau sent agents to Burma, Vietnam and other places, and also sent a large number of agents to Siam to contact local Chinese Americans, preparing to support a country ruled by ethnic Chinese in Siam at the appropriate time.

But after waiting for two years, Yan Guang found that he didn't need to do it at all.

Because two years later, in 1925, King Rama VI had already died of illness...

――――――――――

After capturing a piece of territory, it is natural to consolidate it before it can continue to expand ^o^

In addition, not to mention anything else, at least in this book, World War II is bound to appear~
