The Chinese army has fully taken over the southeast peninsula, the British troops in Bangladesh, the Indian region east of Bengal, Malaysia, and Burma have all been withdrawn, and the French army in Indochina has also been withdrawn to Madagascar. Dongtiannan Province, located in Indonesian Borneo, was soon transported ashore by the Huaguo Navy to take over the garrison, and the arrival of the Chinese army made the Dutch in Indonesia much more honest and less oppressive and exploitative of the Chinese.

In fact, Xiao Zhenlei admires the colonial rule of Britain and France in Southeast Asia very much, the colonial rule of Britain and France in Southeast Asia has governed all ethnic groups in Southeast Asia honestly, few locals have come out to rebel, and India is even calmer.

On the one hand, the British brutally suppressed the rebels, on the other hand, they carried out economic aggression against the colonies, dumped a large number of cheap goods into Southeast Asia, destroyed the local national industry, and then forced the local people to plant rubber, rice, tobacco and other crops, in India, the British forced the Indians to grow cotton, hemp, jute, indigo and provide wool. In 1849~1858 alone, the total value of raw cotton exported by India increased from 1.775 million pounds to 4.302 million pounds, becoming a vassal of British raw materials. In order to consolidate its domination over the colonies and plunder the resources of the colonies, Britain began to export capital as early as the first half of the 19th century, reaching 200 million pounds in 1850 and increasing to 1.4 billion pounds in 1870. On the other hand. Britain and France carried out cultural aggression against these colonies, forcing the locals to learn English and French. Use Christianity and Catholicism to dissolve the local sense of resistance and hatred. At the same time, the local indigenous people are blocked in terms of cultural knowledge, so that the local people do not come into contact with the advanced knowledge and ideas of the outside world. It took so many prongs to carry out a policy of fooling the people in the locality to keep these colonies firmly in hand.

Xiao Zhenlei knows very well that the colonial methods of Britain and France are very effective, but they will certainly not be able to resist the rise and resistance of nationalist ideas all over the world in the future, and the history of another time and space has proved this, but this is also a precondition, that is, the power of British and French colonial forces must be greatly weakened, and the world order can only be reshuffled under the premise that it is possible, if there is no such premise, even if nationalism awakens everywhere. Nor did they have enough power to overthrow the strong rule of Britain and France.

In the history of another time and space, the awakening of nationalism and the rise of power all over the world are because in the First and Second World Wars, the strength of imperialism such as Britain and France was weakened by the great welfare, and their rule in Southeast Asia was once taken away by the Japanese, that is, at that time, the local national forces in Southeast Asia were supported by the Japanese, and after the surrender of the Japanese, these local national forces began to resist the rule of Britain and France, and the war had just ended. Britain, France, and other countries, eager to restore their economy and national strength, could not afford to spend it here, so they had to withdraw their troops and let it be autonomous.

Xiao Zhenlei's decision to adopt a very different approach to governance was very different from that of Britain and France, with the exception of the provinces of East Tiannan, West Tiannan, East Bengal, West Bengal, and Burma, which were directly administered by the Chinese state to provincial-level administrative organs. In other southeastern countries, local forces are supported to carry out indirect management, and a strict hierarchy is implemented in the local area, and some of them are supported to become superior people. Let these people help the local government manage the people at the bottom, even if there are contradictions. Conflicts will only occur between the locals, and the Chinese and the Chinese can stay out of it. In this way, even if there is a large-scale riot or a rebel army, the Chinese side can send troops to intervene, support the obedient forces, and fight the disobedient forces, so that the Chinese can control this place forever. We will resolutely and thoroughly eradicate those individuals, organizations, and cults that spread evil ideas and terrorism and threaten the safety of the people and social order.

The southeast peninsula has been very obedient to the British and French, and the Chinese took over the ruling power very smoothly, and the locals did not dare to make any tricks at all, and even the British and French who had rectified them very badly were forced away by the Chinese state, where did they dare to confront the Chinese state? Not only did he not dare to resist, but he became more honest than before.

China has a good foundation in Southeast Asia, although the Southeast Peninsula has been taken away by Britain and France and other Western countries for many years, and has also implemented colonial rule for many years, but the influence of Chinese culture here is still quite deep, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and other countries have always regarded Chinese as the official language, and the local people are proud of knowing Chinese characters and being able to read and write Chinese.

In addition, China has a large number of expatriates in Southeast Asia, but after learning that the Southeast Peninsula has since become the sphere of influence of China, and after learning that the Chinese army has been stationed in various parts of Southeast Asia, the overseas Chinese in all parts of Southeast Asia are vying to tell each other, and everyone is extremely excited and happy, and the Chinese groups in some places have also organized large-scale collective activities to celebrate, and in just one month, the Chinese have changed from inferior people of a fairly low status to superior people in the local area.

The most awkward position among the countries of Southeast Asia was the state of Siam (later Thailand), which had not been a British or French colony. In order to avoid conflict over the colonies of Southeast Asia, Britain and France signed a treaty in 1896, stipulating Siam as a buffer state between British Burma and French Indochina, making Siam the only country in Southeast Asia that was not colonized.

Now that the British and French forces have withdrawn from Southeast Asia, all regions of Southeast Asia that originally belonged to the British and French forces have become the sphere of influence of the Chinese state, which makes the status of Siam very embarrassing, not only an embarrassing problem, because it is geographically surrounded by the Chinese power on all sides, and it is a veritable country within a country. Of course, it is not only Siam that has become a country within a country, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Bhutan and other countries are all countries within a country, but Siam is different from these countries, these countries have joined the Great China Federation, in a certain way, they and Hua are their own family, but Siam and Hua are not, if Hua completely blockades Siam and does not send troops to attack, Siam will fall into extreme panic, and even civil strife.

The current king Rama VI (Zheng Bao in Chinese) is terrified by the crisis that Siam is now in, and if a country is geographically surrounded by the territory of another great power, it is good if this great power has no malice, but if there is malice, then Siam will suffer a catastrophe.

King Rama VI was the son of Emperor Chulalongkorn the Great, who had a total of 77 children, and King Rama VI was the 29th. Chulalongkorn the Great is considered to be the most powerful and great monarch in Thai history and the founder of modern Thailand. In fact, Chulalongkorn's reputation and status are not all because of his ability, most of the reason is because Britain and France signed an agreement to make Siam a buffer state for the two forces in order to avoid their own losses, which also made Siam not a colony, Chulalongkorn is also because he retained the sovereignty of Siam during his reign to have such a prominent reputation in later generations, although he adopted the Western model during his reign and promulgated a series of reforms, first abolishing slavery, Reform the judiciary and finances, create an assigned legislative assembly, and eradicate old administrative bureaucratic practices. In order to avoid the fate of several of his neighbors, who had fallen under colonial rule, he had to show the colonial powers that Siam was a civilized country. Even so, Siam was not uneventful. Siam lost Laos in 1893 and had to relinquish its rights in Laos and western Cambodia in 1907, and in 1909 Siam ceded four states of the Malay Peninsula to the British. As a result of these land cessions, Thailand lost almost a third of its territory, and it was only by relying on the British and French buffers that it did not suffer greater misfortune.

King Rama VI was succeeded by the edict of Chulalongkorn, and he was the first king in the history of the Bangkok dynasty to be legitimately appointed by the edict. He is 25 years old, and he is also the only king of Siam in history to have studied in the West. At the age of 13, he went to London, England to study English, French and law. In 1895, he was made crown prince. In 1897, when Chulalongkorn visited Wèn Europe, he accompanied him as the crown prince. After graduating from Christian College, he studied military and law at Sandhurst Military Academy in England and then at Oxford University. During his 9 years in the UK, he served in the British Army.

When Rama VI returned home, he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to visit then-US President Theodore? Russveld, who consulted him on many Western political issues, also visited the famous West Point Military Academy. In Japan, he met with the Emperor of Japan, where he learned about the clash and fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. After his return, he was appointed by the king as the captain of the king's guard, and he worked very hard, successively serving as the chief of police, and then the rank of general before ascending the throne. In 1907, when Emperor Rama V Chulalongkorn visited Europe for the second time, he acted as the crown prince. King Rama VI was determined to reform the Siamese army and create a modern, well-trained regular army. He overhauled the national army: he separated the Royal Navy of Siam from the Ministry of Defence and established the Royal Admiralty, with his brother Prince Brippa as Minister of the Navy. On May 1, 1911, he announced the formation of a new paramilitary organization in Bangkok, which he named the "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 Imperial Forest Army, recruited court officials to participate, and held military training every day.

There is always a general indication that Rama VI Vacharayu was an aspiring and ambitious king, he was different from the kings of other countries in the Southeast Peninsula, he had received a formal Western cultural and military education, understood the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, and aspired to build Siam into a powerful state, which Xiao Zhenlei did not want to see, and Rama VI was destined to be a tragedy.
