Historically, China has always been the suzerainty of the Indochina Peninsula, and in all seriousness, China has never been weak in its treatment of the following subject states. （）

However, since the Opium War, due to the weakening of China as a suzerain, the vassal states on the Indochina Peninsula have also begun to suffer from the invasion of Western powers, and finally even China, the suzerain, has become the target of bullying by the foreign powers.

In this case, it is natural for Thailand to distance itself from China.

Especially after the Xinhai Revolution, the Kingdom of Siam had nothing to do with China, and Siam, like China, had already been cut off a lot of flesh by Britain and France at that time.

After the establishment of the Nationalist government in 1913, although Thailand, which was under the pressure of Britain and France, established diplomatic relations with China at the ambassadorial level, it is impossible to see that Thailand had close relations with China from any point of view―――――― except for the Chinese ethnic Chinese throughout the Indochina Peninsula.

Even the victory in the Battle of Shandong did not make the Thai government boil.

Because the two yellow countries are at war in Shandong, it is Britain and France, the two largest powers in the Western world, that have been oppressing Thailand. Therefore, Thailand does not expect much from China, but continues to hug the thighs of Britain and France.

At this time, Thailand's situation was not very good, but because Britain and France needed a buffer zone in Indochina to bring in the colonies of the two countries in Indochina, Thailand's situation was not good, but there was no danger of extinction, which was another reason why the Thai government was not close to the national government.

This situation, even with the outbreak of the First World War, did not change the rise of China.

Because at that time, Thailand was dominated by King Rama VI, who studied in the United Kingdom and served in the British Army until he ascended the throne.

The enthronement ceremony in December 1911 was the largest in the history of Siam and the largest in the history of Eastern countries. It was at this ceremony that King VI simplified the lengthy titles of his ancestors, referred to himself for the first time as Rama VI, and posthumously crowned the first king for the sake of his title. King Churaro, for Rama I; King Lela, for Rama II; King Rang Ho, for Rama III; King Zonghao, for Rama IV; King Zun Zonghao, for Rama V. The royal family of the Bangkok Dynasty has since had its own royal family name like the royal families of Europe: the Rama royal family. "Rama" is Rama in the Thai epic "Ramajian", which symbolizes the image of the great god Vishnu as the monarch of the earth.

It was obviously not an easy task to get such a rather Westernized king to choose China, which was not brilliant at the time.

In 1918, when the October Revolution broke out in Russia, the Nationalist government took the opportunity to annex many lands that originally belonged to Russia, and after Sakhalin fought with Japan over Sakhalin, Rama VI, who was still the king of Siam at the time, became wary of China.

Because in the matter of Russia, the appearance of the Nationalist government is too ugly.

After the October Revolution, Russia did lose a lot of territory, but the territory swallowed up by China was almost a quarter of Russia's territory, more than the territory that was annexed and the territory that took advantage of the opportunity to become independent, and this area was several times the size of Indochina...

Indeed, the environment in Thailand is very difficult now, especially when it is caught between Britain and France, and from time to time it has to be blackmailed by these two countries. However, as the only country between the British and French colonies, Thailand was able to act as a buffer zone, so Thailand was not in danger of extinction...

To put it simply, Thailand can at least survive.

However, if China were invited to return to Indochina, Rama VI wondered if the Chinese would swallow the entire Indochina in one gulp, as they did with the Russians. …,

The Vietnamese and Burmese naturally do not matter, after all, whoever is a colony is a colony, and if you give it to the Chinese, life may be better, but the Thais cannot

It's just that just because Rama VI thinks this way doesn't mean that others think the same way.

First of all, as a yellow country, Thais are naturally close to the Chinese. Secondly, and most importantly, Thailand is a country with a large number of Chinese.

In another world, until the 21st century, almost all Thai prime ministers were held by ethnic Chinese, and there were only five non-ethnic Chinese.

In the 21st century of another world, many countries with Chinese no longer recognize their identity as Chinese, and a very few Chinese countries treat China even more harshly than Western countries, such as a country that once wanted to kick China out of football.

However, sixty or seventy years ago, when the flames of the Anti-Japanese War burned all over the country, these overseas Chinese living all over the world used various ways to help China, because the Chinese at this time still identified with their identity as Chinese...

Under these circumstances, seeing that China, which was led by the Kuomintang government, was gradually gaining strength, the Chinese who had completely different ideas from Rama VI naturally thought differently.

However, at this time, the Nationalist government was busy exploiting the oil fields in the Middle East, and did not want to stimulate the British anymore, so it did not think about the impact of expansion in Thailand―――――― this situation was maintained until 1923, after the oil fields and factories in the Middle East and other places were frequently attacked by guerrillas...

In order to retaliate against Britain and France, the Nationalist government began to pay attention to the resistance forces in Indochina, and at the same time planned to return to Indochina. （）

At this time, Thailand, as the only independent country on the Indochina Peninsula, naturally fell into the eyes of the national government. It's a pity that Rama VI at that time did not cooperate, and he was very wary of the national government.

Faced with this situation, while contacting the Chinese in Thailand, the Nationalist government is also planning to find a way to get Rama VI down, and if necessary, even directly overthrow the Chakri dynasty can also be considered.

However, just when the Communist government was planning to overthrow the Rama VI or Chakri dynasty in a few years, Rama VI himself hung up in 1925.

Yan Guang is willing to swear to the sky, this is definitely Rama VI himself hanged up, Yan Guang absolutely did not do anything in this.

Indeed, Yan Guang also thought about killing Rama VI altogether, but in the end, Yan Guang felt that it would be better to replace the entire Thai government with pro-Chinese people and make Thailand a country controlled by ethnic Chinese, so he dispelled this idea...

But...

This is true, but it doesn't mean that others think the same way...

After all, many people know that Yan Guang is worried about Thailand, and the actions of the Nationalist government in Indochina are not very hidden, and at this time, Rama VI, who resisted the Nationalist government, died suddenly...

Historically, in early 1925, King Rama VI visited Singapore with his new favorite Suvathana, and after returning home, he sent the news that Suvathana was pregnant, and on September 15, he issued an edict: "Announce the removal of the title of Lord Inthani...... A month later, he issued an edict: "In view of Suvathana's loyalty to the king, he should mention the title of Suvathana in order to secure the status of the prince who will soon be born...... Canonization of Suvathana as Queen Pavolatvi"

In October, he issued an edict announcing that Lumpinee Park would be given to his people in preparation for the 15th anniversary of his accession to the throne. Today, a bronze statue of King Rama VI is erected there.

In November, he attended a celebratory banquet, after which he fell ill. On 24 November, Queen Suvathana gave birth. When the little princess was carried to his bedside, he touched his daughter's face with a trembling hand, and two lines of hot tears could not help but flow down his cheeks, and he said nothing in great disappointment. After fifteen days of bedridden, he died in the early morning of the 26th at the age of 45. …,

The 45-year-old king, who suddenly hangs up after attending a banquet, is a time when everyone would suspect China.

Regardless, the death of King Rama VI has always been a good thing for China.

Because King Rama VI's 1924 "Court Regulations on the Succession to the Throne" clearly stated that women could not ascend to the throne, his only daughter, Princess Peradana, could not legally inherit the throne. So he left behind an edict appointing his brother Paciadipo to succeed him. The country name is King Baohao, and he is Rama VII.

King Rama VII was the younger brother of King Rama VI, and was actually second in the order of succession to the throne at that time. Due to the unexpected and early death of Crown Prince Asdangdedschavudh in February 1925, he ascended to the throne in November 1925 without adequate preparation.

If it is the crown prince of the past, then as the heir to Rama VI, Asdangdedschavudh is likely to be as wary of the social government as Rama VI.

However, Rama VII was different, he inherited the throne in the event of the sudden death of the crown prince, and he was not even fully prepared at all, and for this reason, Rama VII himself did not have the influence of Rama VI himself.

Therefore, for the Communist, it was clear that Rama VII was a very good choice.

And it is true that after Rama VII ascended the throne, the relationship between the Kingdom of Siam and the Commune government progressed rapidly, and by the end of the year, the Commune government had decided to provide various assistance to the Kingdom of Siam to strengthen the strength of the Siamese government, and at the same time to cultivate pro-Chinese forces within the Siamese government...

So far, the plan is progressing quite well.

Similarly, since the Communist government has begun a small-scale re-outfit, there is no place for a large number of withdrawn weapons, and it is obviously a good idea to send these weapons into Thailand...

In addition, the government also plans to help the Thai government establish a relatively basic industrial system, and it does not need to be like the Soviet Union to China in later generations, as long as it is relatively basic.

Smelting, weapons manufacturing, etc., will turn Thailand into a quasi-industrial country with an annual production of one million tons of steel and the manufacture of rifles, pistols, machine guns, and light and heavy artillery within a few years.

For the current national government, it is relatively simple to do this.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As the plan unfolded, truckloads and boatloads of munitions were brought into Thailand, and with the help of the national government, the Thai government soon helped the army he owned to complete the initial refitting plan.

But of course, with the help of the Nationalist government, more and more ethnic Chinese and pro-Chinese people came to power. Of course, the process has been slow so far, but Yan Guang is still very confident in turning Thailand into a pro-Chinese country, or even a country completely controlled by ethnic Chinese, after all, Thailand is close to China.

The other is the concept of the "Greater Far East" that is being promoted within the Nationalist Government.

The concept of the Greater Far East, that is, an alliance of Far Eastern countries, and China, is the direct leader of this alliance.

Although China has become the third most powerful country in the world, and Yan Guang asks himself in all aspects, China is no longer inferior to Britain. But in any case, the power of the white race is still quite strong. For example, Europe, North and South America, Oceania, and the Soviet Union are all Caucasian countries, while Africa, which is all black, is completely a white colony, and in this case, no matter how powerful China is, it cannot confront a country controlled by white people.

Naturally, the concept of a Greater Far East gradually emerged within the Nationalist Government and even among the Chinese people. ..., and this idea of uniting the yellow race in the Far East against the Caucasian state is very marketable, both within the national government and among the people.

Even some newspapers are openly discussing the idea of the Far Eastern Alliance.

This situation will not arise because of the inducement of the national government, but because it is an idea that will naturally emerge after China has developed to a certain point.

After all, in a world full of white people, China's situation as a yellow country is too disadvantageous. In addition, for the past few thousand years, China has been the leader of the countries of East and Southeast Asia, the so-called "Celestial Empire". In the past, when China was still being bullied, no one would have been so delusional, but now that China has risen, it is natural that many people will stand up and think that China is the only leader who can lead the yellow race against the white race.

And this kind of thinking is not only in China, but also in other countries.

For example, Sun Yat-sen's Japanese friend, Miyazaki Zhuangtian, discussed with his second brother in 1888 that "the present world is a battlefield of the jungle." The strong are becoming more violent, and the rights and freedoms of the weak are being lost day by day. If there are people who value human rights and respect freedom, they must quickly devise a way to restore them. If we do not prevent it now, the yellow race will always be oppressed by the white race. And this turning point in fate is really related to the rise and fall of China. …… He decided to go deep into China in person, visit the heroes all over the world, and persuade them to work together to achieve great things. If you find a hero who governs the world, you will follow the work of dogs and horses, otherwise, you will stand up for yourself. …… Thinking deeply into the Chinese mainland, wholeheartedly thinking about the Chinese, thinking should be a hundred generations, and recruiting heroes to lay the foundation for upholding the will of heaven and establishing the right path. If China is revived and the righteousness of the world is declared, then India can prosper, Siam and Annam can rise up, and the Philippines and Egypt can be saved. to extensively restore human rights and establish a new era on earth", and from then on he was determined to devote himself to the Chinese revolution.

Of course, if it was just before the First Sino-Japanese War, this friend named Miyazaki still had such an attitude, but after the First Sino-Japanese War and even the Gengzi Incident, China has become a country that has been bullied, and this Japanese friend named Miyazaki still has such an attitude, which is very revealing...

Historically, China was in a state of weakness and some people thought so, but now China is strong...

There will only be more people who think like this...

Therefore, this concept of the Great Far Eastern Alliance is by no means an impossible thing ...

In addition, in a way, the concept of the Greater Far East is likely to be somewhat similar to Japan's Greater East Asia. However, the so-called East Asia in later generations refers to China, Japan, South Korea, Korea, and Mongolia, and of course, during World War II, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, the Philippines and other regions were also patronized by Japan.

However, the concept of the Far East is a geographical concept with Europe as the center of the world. In the past, some Europeans were Europe-centric, with southeastern Europe and northeastern Africa as the "Near East", West Asia as the "Middle East" and the farther away as the "Far East". Later, the original Middle East and the Near East were collectively called the "Middle East". Now sometimes "Middle East" refers to "Middle East".

The Far East is associated with East Asia. During the British Empire, the term became popular in the English language as a collective term for the east of British India. Before World War I, the Near East generally referred to the areas near the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East to the northwestern regions of Asia and Central Asia, and the Far East to refer to the countries and regions of the western Pacific and eastern Indian Oceans, including China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Similar appellations are found in many European languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Dutch. ..., and other regions, including India, are also included in this concept.

Seriously, this concept of the "Great Far East" uniting all the yellow race is not appropriate.

Because if China were just the original China, it would be fine, but now that China's territory has extended to Europe, and Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, and the Middle East, including Iraq, have become part of China's territory, it is somewhat inappropriate to call this concept of uniting all the yellow race into the "Great Far East".

However, at present, almost all the yellow people live in the Far East, and if you call it by other names―――――― it will not be forgotten in the past, and there are many "new nationals" living in China now, if you call them other names, it will cause civil strife...

In fact, the concept of co-prosperity circle is still good, what really matters is who is co-prosperity whom?

If it's us who prosper others, that's a good thing, but if it's for others to prosper us...

Historically, it was others who co-prosper us, but here, it is we who co-prosper others...

"That's a good picture..."

Standing in the office, looking at a world map hanging on the wall, Yan Guang nodded with satisfaction.

On the map, the map is drawn of the scope of the concept of the "Great Far East", which is currently very popular in China.

On this map, China, which already has many territories, naturally exists as the center, while Japan, Korea, the countries of the Indochina Peninsula, and regions such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and India exist as vassals.

"The road is tortuous, but if it really does look like it looks like in the picture, at least we have the strength to compete with the whole West."

Beside Yan Guang, Jiang Baili also nodded after looking at it.

In later generations, because China was still a weak country, as a military scientist Jiang Baili had put forward many concepts, but here China has become one of the best powers. Naturally, a new concept was born, in which the countries of the Far East, led by China, became an important part.

"But," Cai thought for a moment. Now that these regions are in the hands of the Great Powers, they exist as colonies, and it may not be easy to liberate them from the Western Powers. And if it is only one or two colonies, forget it, if such a large colony is liberated from the hands of the great powers, I am afraid that the great powers will not let it go, and in the end I am afraid that a new world war will break out..."

Cai had commanded an expeditionary force to fight the Turks in the Caucasus, and he had also been to the European theater in the latter part of the war, and he was deeply impressed by the bloodshed of the European theater...

"If it really comes to the point of starting a world war, even if we can liberate the countries of the Far East, I am afraid that in the end we will lose both..."

Hearing Cai Ye say this, Xu Shichang agreed.

"That's right, and if it's just other regions, India is no different from the British, if we really plan to liberate India from the colonizers, then even if the situation of the British is not good, I'm afraid they will risk their lives to fight us..."

"And it is also very important that the European countries have been developed for many years, both industrially and in other aspects, and even several countries in South America have developed to a certain point, and the countries in these regions of the Far East, after excluding Japan, there is only one Thailand that can barely be seen, and the rest of the other countries can only be called regions, and there is no industrial base at all..."

Speaking of this, Xu Shichang paused and then spoke.

"If we want to develop them to the point where they are usable, I am afraid that it will take us a lot of effort..."..., although everyone present more or less agrees with the idea of the "Great Far East", other aspects of the problem have to be considered, and the most important point is how to develop these countries in the Far East to the point of use.

If, after liberating these countries from the hands of the great powers, they are all just a mess, then these countries may not be able to help much except drag their feet...

"Yes..."Hearing Xu Shichang say this, Yan Guang also had a headache.

Not to mention anything else, Yan Guang is still very clear about how lazy this group of monkeys in Southeast Asia is in the future. It's okay to say that a few countries on the Indochina Peninsula are really...

Of course, it is also an idea to directly swallow these areas, and then immigrate.

But the problem is that the stalls in the hands of the national government are too big now, and Indonesia and other places are not as sparsely populated as Kazakhstan, so it is not easy to assimilate so many regions at the same time.

"Sure enough, do you still want to use such a routine as supporting local Chinese..."

Yan Guang is still confident in whether the Chinese can control the local economy, because in the other world, the economy of many countries in Southeast Asia is controlled by the local Chinese, after all, whether it is compared with the monkeys in Southeast Asia or the white people in Europe, the Chinese are first-class in diligence and wisdom.

The real question is whether these monkeys will be Chinese exclusionary after the Chinese have mastered the economy.

However, there is no need to worry, because Yan Guang feels that as long as he does not die, such a thing will never happen.

As for how to liberate the countries of the Far East from the hands of the Great Powers?

"Less than twenty years away..."

Glancing at the location of Germany on the map, Yan Guang said...

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Well, how to put it, I think the idea of co-prosperity is still good, provided that we co-prosper others, not others co-prosper us.

In addition, about the state-run farm, the Invalides farm should be mentioned in the book.

As for the land of Iraq ...

If there are 100 million acres, 100 acres per person can only immigrate 1 million people...

It's a bit bad to offend the whole of Iraq for the sake of the immigration of a million people!
