Chapter 759: Military Government

It's actually boring on the plane, especially when the seat is more comfortable, and people will inevitably fall asleep.

Princess Xirui didn't say a few words to Wu Ruo, and fell asleep deeply.

The plane was stuck at Yunnan Airport for twenty minutes, and when Princess Xirui noticed it, she found that Lin Xiao was gone.

"Where's Lin Xiao?" Princess Ciri asked with some curiosity.

"He's gone." Wu Ruo replied in a low voice.

"How come I don't know at all?" Princess Ciri asked with some suspicion.

It stands to reason that she didn't sleep very deeply, at least not the kind of situation where once she fell asleep, she was completely unconscious.

The plane stopped and landed, how could she not feel anything like Lin Xiao getting off the plane? It's a bit weird.

"I don't know." Wu Ruo obviously didn't want to say anything more on this issue.

In fact, Wu Ruo was still relatively clear about Lin Xiao's behavior, but in order to reduce trouble, Princess Xirui had been kept in the dark.

Lin Xiao got off the plane at Yunnan Airport, naturally he was unwilling to leave any transit records.

Although Lin Xiao is also using a false identity now, once the Siamese military leader Wu Chai is assassinated, the inspection of all aspects will be very strict, so he will become invisible.

Even if it is a false identity, it will leave some clues and people will be held accountable.

In order to avoid this situation, Lin Xiao chose to enter the country privately.

Entering Siam from the border, although there are also relevant checkpoints, but for Lin Xiao, the long border can be a channel for him to enter Siam, and he doesn't have to worry about being discovered.

As for after entering Siam, it is easy to do, naturally Wu Ruo's people cooperate, guide him in the direction, and do a good job in the early guidance.

This side of southern Yunnan is already an area inhabited by ethnic minorities.

After Lin Xiao got off the plane, he saw people wearing various national costumes, filling the street.

In fact, the degree of ethnic integration in southern Yunnan is very high, and various ethnic groups live together, and there are not many contradictions, which is actually very related to the policy orientation after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Of course, more importantly, the transportation in southern Yunnan is inconvenient, in the past a village is a small world, it is very difficult for everyone to get in touch, but in response to Lao Tzu's "small country and widows, chickens and dogs smell each other, and the people do not get along".

Lin Xiao found an ordinary three-star hotel in southern Yunnan, rested for the night, and then set off, crossing the mountains, and after a few hours, crossed the border into South Vietnam, using South Vietnam as his transit point, and stabbed into Siam territory.

It took more than a day for Lin Xiao to finally arrive in Bangkok, the capital of Siam.

This was Lin Xiao's second time in Bangkok, and many things were not unfamiliar, so it didn't take him long to find the person sent by Wu Ruo.

The man was a young man in his twenties, of moderate stature, and looked a little dark, which is typical of the South Asian race.

The person who connected didn't communicate much with Lin Xiao, he just handed over some information to Lin Xiao, and then left.

Lin Xiao found a hotel, stayed there first, and then began to look through the information that Wu Ruo had asked people to bring him.

The materials were packed in a large suitcase, and when opened, they were filled with several high-powered pistols and a disassembled sniper rifle.

The others are some documents, mainly about the objectives of this operation, about the introduction of General Wu Chai, the leader of the Siamese military.

There are also some textual materials, which are introductions to some of General Wu Chai's living habits and so on.

Lin Xiao took a look at it and roughly figured out the situation.

All in all, this General Wu Chai is actually very afraid of death.

His whereabouts were always mysterious, his bodyguards were always the most, and his private armed forces remained at the size of a regiment at all times.

More often, General Wu Chai would hide in the barracks and not show his head much.

Even at some important moments, such as when the military junta coup declaration was issued to the whole country, General Wu Chai only provided the relevant video to the media, and did not appear in front of the media himself, which is actually very dangerous.

Because opposition forces are also prevalent among media staff, it is difficult to say that they will not do anything extraordinary, such as assassinating the military leader, General Wu Chai.

Now the information given by Wu Ruo shows that General Wu Chai is in a military camp in northern Siam and has been stranded for two days.

It is said that the main reason why he stayed here was to form a military government.

After all, although General Wu Chai is the leader of the Siamese military and the commander-in-chief of the army, the major forces under his command may not be so obedient.

In order to establish a military junta with a unified decree, it is natural for all forces to come together and carefully study how this matter should work.

After all, within the junta, there is also a question of the division of powers.

Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome if a general had been treated unfairly and had to go back and carry out another military coup.

According to the information obtained so far, General Wu Chai said that the military government will maintain the political order of the country until next year's general election, and if a new democratically elected government is elected, the military government will hand over power to the democratically elected government within a year and retire successfully.

In other words, according to the smoothest timetable, General Wu Chai's military government will also maintain his rule for more than two years.

How much will happen in two years, no one can say.

Or, if General Wu Chai really has a disobedient heart, these two years will be enough for him to solve the problem of the Siamese royal family.

In particular, behind the Wu Chai impasse, it seems that there is also the support of the Americans.

Because of this, the King of Siam was very concerned about the matter of General Wu Chai and did not hesitate to borrow troops from outside and invited Lin Xiao, a heavyweight reinforcement, in an attempt to solve this problem once and for all through the most direct and effective way.

In fact, the term junta is often associated with violence, oppression, and corruption, but historically, it has not been so black and white

Sometimes, when national politics has been eroded and an effective mechanism for the operation of the state cannot be formed, the establishment of a military government is actually the last resort to maintain the most basic operation of a country.

Military leaders who come to power through military coups will basically face the biggest test since taking power, such as Western allies demanding that they restore their people as soon as possible. They will also pose a great threat to domestic extremist forces and the opposition, and the Supreme Judge will also have to review their desperate declaration of a state of emergency in an attempt to restore strongman rule.

Under the combined pressure of the courts, the media, and the opposition, a ruling by a supreme judge can leave them breathless.

The military junta has played the best game in Myanmar.

In Burma, the half-century-long rule of the generals has not been substantially challenged.

From Southeast Asia to South America to Africa, after World War II, military intervention in politics became commonplace.

Generally speaking, Southeast Asian countries have directly entered the stage of industrialization from the agrarian societies of the past, and introduced Western-style parliamentarians. Lord, the general lack of adaptation to the soil and water has led to the repeated occurrence of the situation in which the military dominates the country's politics by force.

For Siam, their constitutional monarchy was also born in a coup d'état in the thirties of the last century. On the main road, the young Zhuang soldiers at that time formed a provisional government, which opened a precedent for Siamese soldiers to interfere in politics.

In the decades that followed, Siamese soldiers alternated power with career politicians. Politics has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, although the military has repeatedly staged military coups in an attempt to turn the people around. The trend of domination, but in the face of strong public opinion, the military forces gradually retreated behind the scenes.

Among them, the existence of the King of Siam is very important, fortunately with his reign, coupled with the development of various social and political groups in Siam over the years, the military government in Siam has always been constrained and restricted by other political forces, and has never had an overwhelming advantage.

In Siam's military coup, the tanks on the streets received flowers and applause from some of the people, and most of the middle- and high-income earners in the city opposed the current economic policy.

The junta ended the corruption and disorder in Siam and brought stability to the people, which became a source of legitimacy for their rule.

The Siamese army often played the role of overseer of the regime. If the government does a good job, but the army is silent, and if it does not do a good job, the army will come forward to supervise it

For example, in the fifties and sixties of the last century, there was a general resurgence of military rule in Southeast Asia, and the military hijacked these countries into a period of authoritarian politics. However, it was during this period that many countries in Southeast Asia achieved relatively good economic results.

The democratically elected government, which represented the interests of the large landlord class, was plagued by corruption scandals within a few years of coming to power, while the military junta, after coming to power, first vigorously promoted the redistribution of interests, often taking more care of the interests of the middle and lower classes, and the relevant economic policies were easier to implement.

So in these countries, the political situation tends to fall into a cyclical change: the military is stable when the society is stable, the distribution of wealth is skewed towards the middle and lower classes, and corruption is not serious, but then the government is faced with ******** and the demand for a return to democracy.

And once we return to the era of democratically elected governments, it will not be long before corruption and social unrest will continue.

At this time, the aspirations of ordinary people for social stability and economic development will outweigh the demand for democracy and form the basis of public opinion for the next military junta.

But the paradox of history is that the political good fortune of the junta came to an end when the economy and society of these countries developed, the middle class developed, and the new social forces flourished.

So a military leader in Siam once said, "Sometimes in order to break the deadlock, some people have to do certain things." It's as if your computer freezes and you can't do anything, you have to press the restart button, or shut it down. ”

Although he explained the reasons for the coup in this way, he also had to admit that the coup "violated the law".

In today's world situation, even a military strongman cannot deal with the people. The main trend is deaf and unsightly.

But now, General Wu Chai seems to have the possibility of breaking through this bottom line, so the King of Siam finally killed him.
