In the British Embassy in Thailand in Bangkok, looking in the direction of the Thai Royal Palace, Charles's expression looked a little solemn.

Not long ago, a delegation of Thai officials sailed from Bangkok to China. The delegation ostensibly claimed to be making a friendly visit to China on behalf of King Rama VI of Thailand to deepen relations between the two countries. But in fact, this delegation has another mission of its own, and it is this that makes Charles's expression look a little solemn.

The British and French are not really unaware of the activities of the Chinese in Thailand.

But by the time they appeared, it was too late.

"Zhongmeng..."Remembering the news he heard not long ago, Charles sneered. 'Neutral Nations Alliance'? I think it's a 'China Alliance', do you want to build an alliance with China as the core? What an ambition..."

As the representative of the British government in Thailand, Charles has not wasted time in vain recently, but has tried his best to find out the purpose of the Chinese through some British forces in Thailand.

Although the process seemed slower due to the obstruction of both the national government and the Thai government, the truth was eventually clarified.

China League.

This is the real mission of the Thai delegation to China, and the reason why the Chinese have been so active in Bangkok in recent times is entirely to achieve this purpose.

Again, although on the surface the term "China Alliance" is more consistent with the Alliance of Neutral Nations. Moreover, the so-called alliance of neutral countries does not seem to mean to target the European and American powers. But Charles is still keenly aware of the true meaning behind this alliance. Isn't the so-called China Alliance actually the meaning of the China Alliance? It is essentially nothing more than a China-led alliance.

After all, with the defeat of the Allies, only the Entente remains. Even if it's such an organization. It has also reached the point of imminent disintegration.

In that case, to whom is this so-called alliance of neutral nations to be neutral?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The so-called neutrality means being between two opposing political forces and not leaning towards either side.

As for the neutral countries, they are a different kind of existence, not similar to the non-aligned countries.

A neutral State is a State which, in the event of an armed conflict, does not take hostile action against any of the belligerents. It is divided into wartime neutrals and permanent neutrals. The rights and duties of neutral States are set forth in the Fifth Hague Convention, the Convention on the Rights and Duties of Neutral States and Peoples in the Six-Year War, and the Thirteenth Convention Convention on the Rights and Duties of Neutral States in Naval Warfare. Neutrality in a conflict is a limitation of sovereignty, which is different from non-alignment.

Of course, in fact, there is no such thing as a truly neutral country. Because many countries declared neutrality during the Second World War. However, most of the neutral countries were occupied in World War II, and at the end of World War II, only Ireland, Sweden, and Switzerland (including Liechtenstein) remained neutral in all of Europe. Later, the neutrality of these countries was questioned, and it was argued that Ireland was secretly involved in the Central Powers. Sweden and Switzerland had delicate relations with Nazi Germany.

It should be clarified. The first country to become a neutral country, and one that is permanently neutral, was Switzerland. It was in accordance with the Declaration of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 that Switzerland became the first permanent neutral state in Europe. Subsequently, Belgium and Luxembourg became permanent neutrals under the London Treaty of 1831 and the London Treaty of 1867 respectively. However, the permanent neutrality of the two countries was destroyed by the German invasion in World War I and abolished by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.

If the alliance established by the head of the Chinese group this time is similar to a kind of neutral country organization, perhaps Britain and France will not find such a headache. But there is no doubt that the alliance that China wants to forge this time will be an aggressive one. Then for Britain and France, such an alliance threat is inevitably too great...

This is especially true in Southeast Asia, which is almost dominated by Britain and France. After all, many people know one thing, that is, the current public opinion in China has always claimed to make Asia the Asia of the Chinese. Regain the glory of the Celestial Empire in the past.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

For Britain and France, this is naturally not a good trend, after all, both countries have great interests in the Asian region. Of course, Britain is definitely the largest, after all, whether it is Burma or India, or the entire Malay Peninsula, basically belongs to the British, and even part of the territory of the Indonesian archipelago belongs to the British.

If Asia is really turned into the Asia of the Chinese, then Britain will lose a lot.

It's just that if he wants to obstruct it, Charles doesn't know where to start, after all, the vast majority of British people will never betray their country if they can. Even those Thais who are inclined to the British will only do so for the benefit of Thailand, and in fact may not really listen to the British and do what the British want, after all, that will harm the interests of Thailand―――――― and harm their own interests for the interests of the British, even if they are indeed closer to the British.

What's more, what Britain did in the past may not have dissatisfied them, but it was only because there was no better choice than Britain at that time that they chose to be close to Britain. Now that China has suddenly become such an option, it seems that there is no need for them to continue to follow the British.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Charles's work in Thailand is difficult.

By the time he figured it out, the delegation had already left Bangkok and was now on its way to China.

In this case, it is almost impossible to stop it. Naturally, Charles did not give up, but after knowing the truth, he went to the Thai royal palace in person in the hope that Rama VI would be able to recall the delegation.

As a result, who knows in the past. The Thai, who was relatively deferential to the British, looked a little tough in the face of Charles this time―――――― but somewhat, although Rama VI rejected Charles's request. But the attitude is not very tough.

After all, the British have a deep foundation in Thailand, and it is not a very simple thing to get the Thai people used to it.

Charles naturally saw this, but just when Charles planned to make more efforts to bring Rama VI to his knees and recall the people from the way. Hu Wenqing rushed to hear the news.

With Hu Wenqing's support, Rama VI's attitude naturally became tougher. After all, he was a little apprehensive in the first place. It was purely because he did not know whether the Chinese government would really be willing to support him, and even worried that if the British government really came to the door to find trouble, the Chinese government would not abandon the Thai government because of the British government's relationship.

But now that Hu Wenqing has come forward. Even made a special trip to the Thai royal palace to show support, and Rama VI naturally had fewer concerns.

Because this has proved Hu Wenqing's attitude, as for whether this is Hu Wenqing's own behavior, Rama VI is not very worried about this. After all, as a diplomat. It is impossible for Hu Wenqing to make decisions without any indication in China. It is impossible for him to have the guts to do such a thing―――――― just as some diplomats in later generations always like to answer with no comment or some nonsense when facing reporters.

It's not that they don't know how to answer, but they simply can't answer without domestic instructions. It's the same now, since Hu Wenqing jumped out, then there must be domestic instructions. As long as the Chinese government is willing to support Thailand, then King Rama VI will naturally have nothing to worry about.

After all, Hu Wenqing has told him a lot recently. Take, for example, the weakness of Britain today. Even the British, no matter how annoyed by Rama VI's actions, would not have sent troops directly.

After all, the current British government's finances simply cannot support such a long-distance expedition. As for sending troops from India? To be honest, Rama VI really didn't worry about that.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Thai ** team is not very good, at least in his opinion, the combat capability of the British army in India or Burma will only be weaker. The arrival of Burma is better to say, but the colonial troops of Burma are not willing to fight for the British.

As for India's...

At the beginning of the Mesopotamian Campaign, British and Indian colonial forces fought against the local Turkish forces during the Mesopotamian Campaign.

How to say it, if we say that in the Battle of the Dardanelles that year, the reason why the British suffered such a big loss was entirely because the British were too hasty at that time and lost the opportunity, and at the same time, because of various unfavorable factors such as geographical advantages, coupled with the command of the German commander.

In Mesopotamia, then, it should be a fair contest.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no Germans in Iraq, not only there are, but there are many, at least in the Iraqi region, there have been formed German ** teams to participate in the war. Although not the combat units of the entire division, but the number of one or two regiments.

With such a small number of troops in Europe, it may not even be able to make a wave, but don't forget that this is Asia, and it is also a relatively minor Mesopotamian battlefield.

At that time, more than 100,000 Wehrmacht troops were able to run rampant on this battlefield, causing the Turks to almost lose their armor and finally almost retreat to the Caucasus. So in the original history, although the number of these German ** troops was not large, they could not be compared with the European side, but a regiment of troops, a division of the British and Indian divisions was basically no problem.

This was true, and it did not even take the Germans to take action, as the Turks had already surrounded the British forces on the battlefield in Mesopotamia several times, at a considerable cost to the British.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, Rama VI was not very concerned about the British forces in Burma and India, including Singapore.

In fact, for Rama VI, as long as the British did not send a fleet on the mainland, or an expeditionary force from the mainland, it was basically unjustifiable.

In the past, the reason why Thailand has been threatened by Britain and France is not so much because they have gained on the battlefield. It is not so much because these two countries are so strong that Thailand cannot resist. But now that China has the backing, there is no need for Rama VI to worry. After all, from any point of view, China, which is closer, has the upper hand. Not to mention that the British were not yet able to move troops from their homeland.

Hu Wenqing even faintly revealed to Rama VI that if the British really sent an expeditionary force and a fleet, the Nationalist government had also formulated a special battle plan for Britain based on this situation. The whole plan is not extremely thorough, but at least it can ensure that the British fleet that rushed from the mainland will not return―――――― of course, the specific battle plan, Hu Wenqing did not reveal to Rama VI.

On the one hand, because this is highly confidential, even if he sues Rama VI, Rama VI himself can keep it secret, it does not mean that his relatives can keep it secret. Of course, a more important reason is because even Hu Wenqing himself is not very clear about this.

After all, this kind of Cheng Dù's battle plan is not something that a small ambassador like Hu Wenqing can know―――――― not to mention that from a certain point of view, this kind of ambassador also has a chance to be bribed and rebelled.

In fact, the plan of the Commune government was very simple, that is, to use submarines to set up a large ambush for the British in the sea off Bangkok when they planned to come.

It is true that by now, anti-submarine technology has indeed been developed considerably, but this does not mean that submarines are really no threat when facing large warships. After all, the anti-submarine technology of these years is still very immature, and in many cases, submarines can still be used as a killer weapon. In particular, the Wehrmacht Navy also has a very large number of underwater fleets, and if you wield wolf pack tactics, a hundred submarines can definitely make any fleet drink a pot.

In fact, the underwater fleet owned by the Wehrmacht was feared even by the British.

Of course, it is precisely because of China's support that Charles is deflated in front of Rama VI. In the end, not only did the goal not be achieved, but Charles's defeat made the Thai people's originally somewhat weak mood become firm. (To be continued!)
