Chapter 186: Siamese Ambition (2)

In the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Siam, Zheng Bao was very angry when he saw Huaxia sending back a telegram, several precious porcelain pieces were lying on the ground in pieces, and the maids next to him were trembling and did not dare to clean up. The telegram said that the Chinese government directly refused to sell them planes, and warned itself that it was not allowed to continue to exclude Chinese, otherwise the Fire Dragon planes would fly over Siam.

Zheng Bao also knew at this time that Huaxia was unwilling to sell planes to himself, and the previous hard and fast rule of ten planes was just an excuse, and he spent a huge price to get Britain and the developed countries to allow the purchase of Huaxia's planes, but he found that people ignored him at all, and vaguely reminded him that he was the reason for the anti-Chinese policy. This was originally Siam's own business, and Huaxia was too domineering to interfere in Siam's internal affairs, so it was no wonder that Zheng Bao was not angry.

"Damn Huaxia, sooner or later one day I want you to look good, Yingfa bullied me, you also bullied me, what kind of thing are you Huaxia?"

"Bang!"

Zheng Bao grabbed a gorgeous porcelain and threw it to the ground, shattering it in an instant.

Siam had an airplane in 1911, and Prince Zachcapong was invited to fly on this Siamese plane for the first time, becoming the first Siamese flyer. Prince Zaklapong also sent three Siamese soldiers to the country to learn flying techniques, and planned to buy an air force after several of them completed their studies.

It's just that the planes of the country are obviously not as powerful as the Chinese Empire, and it can be seen from the fact that the country of China went to the Chinese Empire to buy planes, and the lethality and destructive power of the Chinese aircraft are the first in the world, and no country can compare, so Siam wants to go to China to buy.

When Zheng Bao was studying in Britain, he knew that Siam was able to escape the danger of becoming a colony because it was fortunate to be caught between the colonies of Britain and Britain. If there was a riot within Siam that posed a threat to the civil and commercial interests of the Great Powers, the Great Powers would send troops to suppress them in order to protect their immediate interests in Siam.

In order to maintain neutrality and autonomy, Siam had to have sufficient troops to maintain internal stability and not create a pretext for invasion by the foreign powers. Both Zheng Bao and Prince Zachcapong advocated military reform, first separating the navy from the Ministry of Defense, establishing a separate navy, purchasing warships, ordnance and weapons from the great powers, forming a new navy, and sending personnel to various countries to learn advanced naval systems. In terms of the army, Zheng Bao formed a modern army "Wild Tigers" and personally served as the commander for training.

A series of reforms all show Zheng Bao's ambitions, even the exclusion of the Chinese is because the Chinese threaten his position, he has always believed that the "Luo Suo 130" anti-government secret organization is a conspiracy of the Chinese, want to overthrow him, so he spared no effort to implement the anti-Chinese policy, with the main line of "restricting the political rights of the Chinese, suppressing the Chinese economy, and preventing the spread of Chinese culture".

Originally, Siam had a hard time surviving in the cracks of the British hairpin, and was also economically exploited by various countries, making it difficult to escape from the encirclement of Western powers. However, after the rise of China and the occupation of British India and Burma, the British and the two countries focused all their energy on China, and Siam was relatively free.

In addition, the British and the German countries wanted to maintain their colonial rule in the Indochina Peninsula to resist the invasion of China, and vigorously supported Siam, hoping that Siam could become their pawn to resist the Chinese, so Siam's strength continued to rise, and the overall strength has exceeded the strength of the British and German countries in the Indochina Peninsula.

Zheng Bao was unwilling to accept the status quo of Siam, he wanted to become a strong man and no longer threatened by the Western powers, and at the same time hated the former suzerainty of Huaxia, because Siam had always paid tribute to China in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was a vassal state of China, which was a shame for the powerful Zheng Bao.

From the Chinese Empire's claim that Korea is its territory, Zheng Bao can see that the Chinese Empire has the intention of recovering the former vassal states from the new, and Huaxia has never expressed its position on the Great South of the Indochina Peninsula, which shows that the Chinese Empire still has some "bad" intentions towards the Indochina Peninsula.

Zheng Bao didn't want to become a vassal state of Huaxia again, but the strength of the Huaxia Empire made him panic, first defeated the British Far East Fleet, and then took back various rights, and the powerful Tsarist Russia signed a humiliating armistice, forcing the Fuso Empire Navy fleet not to dare to go out of the house, and there were powerful flying forces, none of the above can be done by Siam, and the disparity in strength can be imagined.

But Zheng Bao has his own strengths, that is, the neighbor Yingfa colony, Huaxia wants to attack him must first pass through the colonies of the two countries, he does not believe that Huaxia will dare to start a war with the two countries at the same time, only the navy is threatened by Huaxia, he does not need to be afraid.

"Your Majesty, in fact, we don't need to buy it ourselves at all, we can ask Britain to buy a few more, and then sell it to us, but the price is a little bigger, I believe Britain will agree." Prince Zaklapong came to persuade Zheng Baodao.

Zheng Bao's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of it, he was angry all the time, just borrow the name of Britain.

"But Huaxia's refusal to sell us must have some kind of conspiracy, and warned me that I must not continue to exclude the Chinese, otherwise I will look good, which is really arrogant!"

"Although Huaxia is uneasy and kind, but our country is close to the South China Sea Province of China, which is now the Great Qi Empire, and the flight range of the plane can reach there, which has already threatened the security of Huaxia. According to the news that we sent back from Fusang, Fusang's losses were very strict again, and they all began to enter a defensive state, and most of the three eastern provinces of Huaxia returned to Huaxia's hands. Isn't it for us to come back to all the people who studied in Fuso, it's much safer here than Fuso. ”

"Let's arrange it, let them come back to Mi Guo, they can't stay in Fuso, these are our future elites, there can be no losses!"

Zheng Bao once visited Emperor Fuso when he traveled to Fuso, and he admired the way Fusang dealt with Chinese and Western cultures, and soon after he ascended the throne, he sent a large number of students to study in Fuso, and even a prince went to Fuso to study.

"Speed up the training of the new army, it is not surprising that Huang Cheng's empire will not last long, the military power of the Chinese Empire will come to Indochina again, and our country will be threatened by Yanzhòng. I went to the British ambassador to discuss the plane and try to get Britain's help. Zheng Bao did not hesitate to go to the British ambassador to Siam.

The British diplomatic minister in Bangkok has been very happy lately, and the king of Siam has given him a great deal of money the other day, which is worth several years' salary, and he will be even happier if he comes a few more times.

"Your Excellency, the King of Siam has come to meet Your Excellency!" The waiter of the mansion hurriedly walked up to the minister and said.

The minister's eyes widened, and he shouted in his heart Long live God, and it was a coincidence that he thought that Rama VI had come to the door.

"You take King Rama to my study, and I'll be there at once!"

Seeing that it was the king who came in person, Mr. Minister knew that he would definitely have a good income this time, and he had always gone to the palace to see Rama VI in the past, but this time it was Rama VI who came in person, which must be an unusual thing.

"Dear King Xià, it's a pleasure to see you again!"

"Me too, and it is a pleasure to see Your Excellency the Minister again. This time I asked His Excellency the Minister to ask for your help, Huaxia refused to sell the plane to me, I would like to ask your country to help buy the plane in the name of Britain! Zheng Bao did not hide it, and told the minister the reason.

When the minister heard this, he frowned, Huaxia obviously meant that he would not sell it to Siam, he didn't know if the empire would offend Huaxia for this, but he knew that the empire was trying its best to make up for the relationship with Huaxia and win over Huaxia.

"How can Huaxia not make money, are you offending Huaxia somewhere, you must know that the countries that basically went to buy have got orders."

"You know, our relationship with Huaxia is very complicated, since the cut off of the tribute to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, our country has nothing to do with Huaxia, but Huaxia may not be like this, so it is unwilling to sell planes to us!" Rama VI's words sounded angry, but they were all pretended, and the human envoy saw it and did not debunk it.

"It turns out that this is the case, I will report it truthfully, and I will wait for the decision of the empire!"

"Your Excellency, China's strength poses a threat to the Indochina region, and only we can unite to resist China's attack, and Huaxia obviously has a greedy meaning here, and it is like this for a long time to recognize Burma and Da Nan as independent countries, please Your Excellency the Minister must think carefully. On top of that, I want to buy a batch of arms! Rama VI took out a bank slip from his pocket and put it on the table, and it was a cheque for fifty thousand pounds.

The minister was moved, 50,000 pounds is worth half a dragon bomber, which is not a lot of weight. He accepted the check with an unchanged face, and then said hypocritically: "I will try my best to facilitate this matter, but the empire has been courting Huaxia recently, you have to be prepared, you can't convince the empire without enough things." ”

"I'm ready for this, and I'm absolutely happy with your country!"

…………

Bangkok's Chinatown is the place with the largest concentration of Chinese in Siam, and it is the center of Chinese in Siam. The directors of the six major halls in Hainan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang all gathered together to discuss the policy of excluding the Chinese issued by King Rama VI and to fight for the status of the Chinese in Siam.

"Since Zheng Bao came to power, he has always been very targeted at us Chinese, and has also issued a series of policies to restrict us, which is obviously excluding us, and our business has become more and more difficult to do in recent years!"

"Don't worry, everyone, there will definitely be countermeasures, Zheng Bao doesn't dare to make a dead move, the country is getting stronger and stronger, and he doesn't have the courage that month!"

"That is, the rise of the country, we have not been suppressed so strictly, to be honest, I want to go back, but here is the father who worked hard for several generations to spell it out, can't just be gone!"

"If you need domestic help, we will pay for it, and we only need to ask the domestic plane to fly a few laps over Bangkok!"

At this time, the director of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Guild Hall, who was smoking, snuffed out his cigar and said: "Stop, I received news from China today, His Majesty the Emperor is very angry when he knows that Siam excludes the Chinese!" ”

The curator said that the cigarettes in everyone's mouths fell on the table unconsciously, this news was really amazing, this was the first time they heard the leaders of the country concerned about the lives and deaths of the Chinese.
