Chapter 529: Sweeping Central and South (Middle)

After the establishment of the Central South Military Region, Hu Weidong was ordered to peacefully reorganize the surrender of more than 200,000 national troops, and on the basis of these more than 200,000 people, tens of thousands of political cadres and military commanders, as well as no less than 100,000 local recruits, and the only mechanized army of the People's Liberation Army at present was incorporated into it, and the Central and South China Field Army, with a total strength of more than 400,000, was quickly formed. In his military career, he has also led more chaotic troops and won victories, so there is not much of a problem

Hu Weidong, who was transferred to the post of secretary of the Central South Military Region, not only had the leadership of the Central South Military Region and the Central South Field Army because of the principle of "party command," but was also fully responsible for formulating the basic political and economic policies of the Central and South China region. And the first order issued by Hu Weidong made the two former generals of the national army dumbfounded, "Annexing the entire Indochina Peninsula to China?" Isn't that aggression? ”

"We are liberating the British and French colonies, how can this be called aggression?" Hu Weidong said solemnly without blushing, "As for the annexation to China, this statement is not correct, it should be the return to China, since ancient times, the countries on the Indochina Peninsula have always accepted China's canonization, and the tribute is endless, according to the international practice, the vassal state should have become the direct territory of the suzerainty after modernization, otherwise the current Western powers are only a little bigger than the capital, but this process in Asia has been interrupted by the invasion of Western colonizers." Now the British and French colonists have been defeated by us. The Indochina Peninsula is naturally going to return to the motherland! Moreover, both China itself and the Indochina Peninsula are still very poor and backward compared with the West, even in order to avoid the comeback of Western colonizers after the end of the Shijie War, we Easterners should huddle together to keep warm, so as to strengthen the liliang against foreign enemies."

While the two were speechless, they couldn't help but feel a little excited in their hearts, as a Chinese, especially a Chinese soldier, who is not willing to open up territory? But the two of them thought about the consequences of doing so. I'm a little worried. "In this way, we will offend Britain and France to death, and what will we do when they come and fight with us after they win the European war? If someone hits our land, then even if many people die, we have to fight the enemy back, but if it is for this territory (which does not belong to China) to fight to the death with the foreign powers. Is it really worth it? ”

Hu Weidong sneered when he heard this. "Win the European war? Win maybe zuihou can still win. But where is it so easy as you think? Whether it was the duration or the number of casualties and economic losses, this Shijie battle would have been much larger than the First World War, after which the British lost their shijie supremacy. After World War II, Britain and France will be reduced to second-class powers, and as long as we seize this opportunity for development, even if we can't compare with the United States and the Soviet Union at that time, the two second-class powers really don't have to take it to heart. What's more, after Britain and France fought World War II, not to mention these lost colonies, even if they still occupy the colonies, I am afraid that they will have to lose some of them in order to unload their burdens."

After all, the two are not politicians and strategists, and they are somewhat skeptical of Hu Weidong's assertion, but "soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty", and the two have not been attached for a long time, so they did not argue too much, and Hu Weidong had already issued an Zuihou ultimatum to the Thai government that had been allied with Britain and France, asking them to disarm the British and French in their territory and hand over all personnel to the PLA, and at the same time to continue the offensive against British Malaya through China.

Naturally, the Thai government would not agree, so Hu Weidong immediately used this as an excuse to order the Central and Southern Field Army to invade Thailand, and at the same time, the Thai Communist Party, which had been obeying the orders of the Chinese Red Party, also revolted at home, and the war soon showed a one-sided situation. Originally, Hu Weidong was still a little afraid of the five well-equipped motorized armies in Thailand, but after the battle began, he found that their combat effectiveness was simply miserable, and a main regiment of the People's Liberation Army could easily defeat a division of the Thai army. Motorization did not even come in handy in escaping, although it was faster than walking, but it could only drive along the road, and as a result, it was chased by the Chinese Air Force all the way to indiscriminately bombarded, killing and wounding countless people

Due to the different nature of this battle from the previous anti-aggression battles, in order to ensure the morale of the troops, Hu Weidong positioned it as a retaliatory action against Thailand's invasion of China by the British and French, and at the same time helped the Thai people to overthrow the feudal rule of the royal family. After the collapse of the Thai regime, Hu Weidong held a referendum in Thailand to "voluntarily" annex to China by manipulating public opinion, which is exactly the same as the trick that the Soviet Union carried out in Outer Mongolia after World War II

The Thai royal family has a high prestige in Thailand, which is quite unfavorable to China's rapid digestion of Siam, but Hu Weidong did not directly kill the royal family of the previous dynasty like Soviet Russia during the October Revolution, but first revealed many truths that have been hidden in history until now, for example, the current royal family of Thailand is the descendant of Chakri who launched a coup d'Γ©tat to kill his adoptive father who was so kind to him and saved the hero Zheng Zhaohou who saved Siam, and they have always been "Wei Guangzheng" The image is just deliberately created by letting the minister bear the blame and give the credit to the king of Thailand, and let some members of the royal family come forward to admit it (there is always a way), which makes the Thai people's fear of the royal family collapse.

On this basis, Hu Weidong pulled out every member of the royal family for a public trial, but this time the situation was the opposite, not only did the ministers carry the black pot for them, but even they often had to carry the black pot for the ministers, and Hu Weidong would not give preferential treatment because of their royal status, so it was natural to kill and kill, close and close, and reform through labor, even if the children were clean enough, they were all sent to China to study, and by the way, they were reformed by the red thought, and they could no longer exert much influence on Thailand

It must be noted here that although the Red Party is a foreigner, it has been able to penetrate widely into the grassroots because of its long-standing mass line; In contrast, the original Siamese regime still had a strong feudal character, although it had a greater influence among the upper class and intellectuals, but the ordinary peasants and workers were consistently ignored by them.
