Chapter 443: Development Plan

On February 26, 1943, the new Siamese government under the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was officially established here. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Since Bangkok has been bombed to ruins, Ayutthaya will be used as a temporary residence for the Siamese military government. Wait until Bangkok is rebuilt and then move to Bangkok.

Of course, by that time, the war might have already ended. If it goes well, the Chinese state in Nanyang has been established. At that time, Bangkok will become the capital of the Nanyang Chinese country. It's just that the name needs to be changed.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Qin Shou asked the designers to design according to a big city when rebuilding Bangkok. The city was at least twice the size of today's Bangkok. At the same time, the division of regional functions should also be optimized. This will enable it to become the economic, political and cultural center of the whole of Nanyang in the future.

To make the reconstruction of Bangkok conform to the idea in Qin Shou's mind. That would undoubtedly cost a lot of money. However, Qin Shou didn't care about this. In any case, the labor force for the construction of Bangkok will be mainly prisoners of war and indigenous Thai. The junta is only responsible for some of the material costs. What's more, once this becomes the center of the entire South Seas, land prices are bound to soar. The wealthy Chinese of Nanyang will definitely compete to buy properties here. When the time comes, just selling the property and shops here will be enough for them to earn back all the money they have invested. You can even make a lot of money because of it.

After all, once the rebuilt Bangkok becomes the capital of the entire Nanyang Chinese country, the capital and wealthy people of the entire Nanyang will inevitably flock to Bangkok. It will soon become one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

Of course, that's all for later. Now, the Siamese junta has just been formed. The next major task is to rebuild the social order and government at all levels throughout Siam. Resumption of production, development of industry and commerce, and so on. As soon as possible, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can determine its rule in Siam and digest Siam. Let the whole of Siam contribute to the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, instead of becoming a burden to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Or rather, a quagmire in which the forces of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were bogged down. In that case, not only will there be no benefit in fighting the Japanese National Salvation Army, but it will also become a drag.

Although, the time for the formation of the Siamese junta was urgent. But the Chinese elites throughout Siam saw the inauguration of the junta. Everyone's face was beaming. Many of them are even people who will hold important positions in the military junta. What's more, with the establishment of the junta, they can finally escape the fate of being oppressed by the indigenous people. The safety of life and property has been guaranteed.

"Thank you for coming to the inauguration ceremony of the Siam Military Government. Now, I declare, the Siamese junta, officially formed! Qin Shou speaks at the inauguration ceremony of the Siamese military government.

The Burmese military junta has already been established, and the Siam junta will be the second military junta under the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Of course, Qin Shou believes that in the next year or two, more military governments will be established. When the war ended and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army occupied the whole of Nanyang, these military governments would merge and become the Chinese state of Nanyang.

In his speech, Qin Shou focused on the invasion of Nanyang by Japan and the harm caused to the Chinese people in the entire Nanyang. and the oppression of the Chinese in Nanyang for thousands of years. Qin Shou told these Chinese that after the establishment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, those days would be gone forever. The interests of the Chinese people will be protected.

After the ceremony of the establishment of the military government, there was a banquet. Invite the people who participate in the ceremony to come together.

Qin Shou and the officials of the Siamese military government toasted one by one, asking everyone to support the work of the military government after the establishment of the military government. At every table, everyone stood up and said that they would definitely contribute their strength to the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

The history of the Chinese in Siam has turned a new page from today.

In the evening of the same day, Qin Shou convened a meeting of the Siam Military Government overnight, at which he focused on several major directions for the future work of the Siam Military Government.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the elite of the Siamese Chinese. I believe that under your leadership, the Siam junta will be able to get on the right track quickly and develop better and better. Qin Shou looked at these high-ranking officials of the military government and said.

Everyone's head is held high. Naturally, they all think that they are the real elite. Previously, because of the repression of the Thai government, they had no chance to use their talents at all. Now, Qin Shou has given them a chance, and of course they will seize this opportunity.

"Now, after the establishment of the Siamese military government, several major tasks must be carried out as soon as possible.

First, government agencies at all levels must be established as soon as possible. Social order must be restored. Production and life should also be gradually restored and put on the right track. The impact of the war should be minimized as much as possible.

Second, Bangkok is in ruins. Therefore, Ayutthaya will serve as a temporary residence for the Siamese military government. But we want to rebuild Bangkok. I have already discussed the redevelopment plan for the new Bangkok with the Prime Minister. The reconstruction of Bangkok needs to be carried out as soon as possible. In the next two years, it will have to be preliminarily completed. The manpower needed to rebuild Bangkok, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will find a way.

Thirdly, to liquidate those who cooperated with the Japanese in the war. Whether it is a member of the Thai royal family, a former senior government official, or a Chinese. Whoever cooperates with Japan* himself will now be liquidated. Depending on the severity of the case, it will be handled. All their family property was confiscated and used as military expenses for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the financial expenditure of the military government.

Fourth, all industries in Thailand except for Chinese industries will be state-owned. A certain amount of land was allocated to the landless or landless Chinese. In addition, we should do a good job in the resettlement of immigrants. There are still too few Chinese in Siam, and we will have a plan to attract some refugees from the country to Siam.

Fifth, we should develop industry in light of local conditions. Thailand is rich in natural resources, not only oil, but also iron ore. The development of industry can be done in cooperation with the Burmese junta. Now, the industrialization of the Burmese junta is on track.

That's all for now, ladies and gentlemen. Although, the junta has just been formed, and everything is still in the embryonic stage. However, I believe that the future will be bright. I hope that you can contribute to the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the Siam Junta. ”

All the officials attending the meeting applauded warmly. They know that Siam's great development opportunities have come.
