Chapter 1058: Transforming Siam Plan

@@@@@@@@@@

Ho Chi Minh didn't know that Yang Thu would not allow someone in the back garden to dominate the family.

In the military airport in the western suburbs of Yanjing, Gu Weijun looked at his watch eagerly, looking up at the western sky from time to time. At the end of the closed martial law airfield is a line of the latest J-10 "Fire Dragon" jet fighters. China studied jet engines very early, but materials and finishing dragged its feet, and it was not until the beginning of the 40s that two jet aircraft entered service. And because it could not overcome the problems of high fuel consumption and the inability to escort ships with a small combat radius, the Air Force only procured several territorial air defense brigades.

The air force officers and men at the airport were curious, because their prime minister, Mr. Chancellor, had no interest in advanced fighters, and even the secretaries who accompanied him did not give a second glance. Who is it that can make the prime minister who is so patient to wait so long? The answer soon appeared, a blue and white Airbus 300 long-range passenger plane with a phoenix pattern painted on the fuselage, escorted by two Jian-8 "Tianquan" fighters, slowly landed on the airport runway.

Airbus 300 is the official model of the stratospheric KC-3 four-engine passenger aircraft developed by Airbus, which has been shown as a prototype at the World Expo held in Shanghai, and the military model is Yun-9. The Airbus 300 has a pressurized cabin that can avoid bad weather at stratospheric altitudes and can carry 68 passengers (economy) to a long-range passenger aircraft 4,500 kilometers away. At present, only the Meteor-5 passenger aircraft (military Y-8), Boeing 307 and Douglas DC-4 with comparable technology of domestic Meteor companies can be comparable. As a result of the earlier installation and the use of new designs such as vertical tail fuel tanks, which have increased the range, 262 civilian models have been sold to date, of which 38 have been exported to the United States and 622 military models have been sold. Although they passed by the presidential plane, three of them were converted into military planes to send generals and marshals to and from various fronts.

After the plane stopped, Jin Bihui and Lin Huaibu, who were dressed in dresses, took the lead in getting out of the cabin, and then saw more than a dozen well-dressed men and women of all ages walking out, looking like a family, and several of them were wearing gorgeous diamond jewelry. Two of them, surrounded by servants and bodyguards, were particularly noticeable, the eldest was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a white suit, a coffee-colored trench coat, and thick glasses, with an elegant temperament but a slightly nervous expression. The youngest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the brothers are still holding their brother's hand when they get off the plane, with curiosity and a trace of fear in their eyes.

"Prime Minister, this is King Ananta Mahidon, and this is his younger brother, His Highness Bhumibol Adulyadej." Jin Bihui stepped forward and introduced the distinguished guest to Gu Weijun. In order to bring back the Siamese king, who was trembling with Europa's guns, from Lausanne, Switzerland, he and Lin Huaibu traveled through Vichy France to Casablanca on a smuggled French refugee ship, where they boarded the plane.

Of course, the biggest contributor to convincing the Rama VIII family to come to China was Biri Phanom Rong, one of the four major regents of Siam, whose Chinese name is Chen Jiale. "Hello, welcome to Yanjing."

Siam is one of only three sovereign states in Asia that were recognized by the world before World War II. This situation occurred not because Siam was comparable to China, but because of the compromise between Britain and France on the colonial issue. In the early days of Xinhai, Siam's political circle was greatly influenced by the British, and even the local Chinese were more inclined to the British, until China's international status and domestic economy were both improved under the leadership of Yang Qiu, especially the southwest region, because it was the birthplace of Yang Qiu, and was much cared for by policies, so the rapid development even exceeded the western development boom in the history of the United States. The prosperity of southwest China has prompted more Siamese people to resolve to change, especially the Chinese, who hope to take advantage of this shareholder trend to gain greater political power.

Finally, in 1932, a coup d'Γ©tat broke out in Siam, Rama VII was forcibly constitutionalized, and the People's Party came to power. At that time, Yang Qiu was in the first period of taking advantage of the economic crisis to greatly adjust domestic industry and commerce and comprehensively roll out infrastructure construction, and he did not want to miss the opportunity that was rare in a century, so he did not interfere in the political situation in Siam. But it was precisely that period of contraction that led to the rise to power of a military careerist like Luang Phibun Songkan, who had forgotten his ancestors and regarded himself as a Siamese. At that time, it happened that he was actively moving closer to the South Seas to alleviate the pressure of confronting China and causing a shortage of domestic resources, and the two hit it off.

Although Rama VII repeatedly launched royalist attempts to regain power, he eventually failed to flee Switzerland and died in depression earlier this year. After Luang Phibun Songkhan came to power, he immediately changed the name of the country to Thailand in the name of the regent and generalissimo, preaching Tai peopleism and separating the Thai from other ethnic groups. He also took advantage of the fact that he needed raw materials to export grain and other materials to him in exchange for military support for the armed army. After securing his position, he immediately removed the other three regents, including Panom Rong. When the army marched south, he saw that China had no reaction to this, and despite domestic opposition, he forcibly passed an alliance to tie the country to the fascist chariot, and finally tried to occupy the turbulent French East Indies to realize the dream of a "great Thai empire". It is a pity that his dream has only begun, and he was beaten by thousands of French second-rate colonial troops to lose his armor, and had to lure wolves into his house to let the Yue army enter Siam to fight, and finally attracted Chinese intervention and quickly controlled Vietnam, Laos and Khmer in the French East Indies.

Seeing that he was unable to resist Songkan's policy of moving closer to Yueben, and hated Yueben fiercely, Panomrong had no choice but to take advantage of the opportunity of the royal family in China to support Rama VIII to power, and then contact Britain in the hope of getting support. But at that time, the German army had already annexed Austria, and Britain could not control Asia at all, so he returned to Yanjing to ask Yang Qiu for help. Don't think that being Chinese will necessarily get close to China, Luang Phibun is also Chinese, and although Phanom Rong is closer to China, in the final analysis, he still wants to use China's rise to obtain greater political benefits. Because they are all well aware that they are Siamese and not Chinese. Therefore, Yang Qiucai did not care about Siam's internal affairs, and now he only promised to help him establish a rebellion organization, but the premise was to invite the Rama VII family to Yanjing, so as to balance Vietnam and Malaya and other Southeast Asian countries in the future and ensure that one family would not be allowed to dominate.

Phanom Rong was one of the greatest contributors to the succession of King Rama VIII, but refused to leave Lausanne because Rama VII was tired of domestic politics and feared that he would be taken advantage of if he went to Yenching. It was not until his death that Phanom Rong persuaded King Rama VIII to work with China to re-establish a new Siam.

Although Panong Rong lost his position in China, Gu Weijun still gave him enough face and personally stepped forward to shake hands and salute. After all, he also led tens of thousands of rebel armies and was currently the most important leader in Siam. However, it should be said that Phanom Vinh is not a member of the National Socialist Party, but a member of the Siam People's Party, and is also friendly with the National People's Party.

This kind of treatment made Panomrong very excited: "Mr. Prime Minister, it's a pleasure to meet you, I wonder when we can meet President Yang?" ”

"Huh. After a long journey, let's rest for a few days, the president just happened to be out to inspect, and I will arrange it as soon as I get back. ”

"Okay, okay." Panon Rong praised again and again, but he was still a little disappointed that he couldn't see Yang Qiu immediately. Rather, Rama VIII took two steps forward: "Your Excellency, thank you for the invitation to give me the opportunity to visit China. But I wonder why you did that? What do you hope for? As he spoke, Rama VIII's eyes wandered, and he kept pushing his glasses, looking nervous.

If it weren't for Jin Bihui's personal escort, Gu Weijun would have doubted whether he was of royal blood. "Embarrassing task." Gu Weijun muttered secretly in his heart, obviously Rama VIII disappointed him a little, but his expression was still very enthusiastic, and comforted: "Don't worry, we don't have any malicious intent." I invite you and your family to come to Yanjing because we hope that you will persuade those who follow the fascists in your country to give up resistance and avoid a war between the two countries. ””

"I don't want war, I don't want to be king, but they don't listen to me." Rama VIII blurted out like a child: "I can't help it. ”

Gu Weijun was stunned, glanced at Jin Bihui and Panongrong next to him, and hated to kick this "half-great king". Be! Siam is far from what everyone thinks, the Buddhist country is peaceful and tranquil, on the contrary, the domestic warlords are comparable to China in the Xinhai period, with economic depression and backward development. But the question is, do you know what kind of country your neighbor has become after 30 years of extraordinary development? Do you know what the outcome would be if the president gave you his full support? Gu Weijun was disappointed, obviously the little king knew nothing about China's development. If it weren't for the need for a balanced Southeast Asia, he would really want to change people. But these are not good to show that the Republic of China needs to eliminate the original and populist forces in Southeast Asia, but it must not be too much for the locals to feel that China is domineering and sow the consequences of being easily instigated and intervened in future conflicts. Therefore, it is still necessary to support King Rama VIII and the royal family, who have a high support rate in Siam. So simply send someone to accompany Rama VIII's family to have a good look at China, and wait for him to re-understand what kind of support he will get before moving on to the rest of the matter.

Jin Bihui hid in the car and giggled, it seemed that after a few months of contact, she knew better what it meant to be a mud that couldn't hold up the wall. However, even if Rama VIII still hasn't figured out the situation, he can't change Yang Qiu's determination to transform Southeast Asia and build this place into a back garden. And he also believed that as long as he held Rama VIII in his hands, he would be able to hold the whole of Siam sooner or later!

In the early morning of the next day, two "General"-class escort aircraft carriers and 12 fire support ships that had just completed training arrived at Kunlun Island. So far, the number of aircraft carriers in the South China Sea has increased to 15, and the total number of escort aircraft carriers has also risen to 19. At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Ce boarded the 14,600-ton flagship Lancang River light cruiser (Brahmaputra class) and led the 25 fleet with two escort aircraft carriers to sail around the Golden Oujiao and sail towards Bangkok. At the same time, 166 Air Force bombers also took off from Cam Ou, Vietnam, and crossed the Malay Peninsula under the escort of fighter jets to station at the repaired Port Blair airfield. Bombs, fuel and supplies sent to Kolkata via the Myitkyina Railway were also sent to Andaman in a steady stream.

The rainy season in Southeast Asia is officially here...... (To be continued.) )
