Anti-Japanese War: Red Alert Base, I am the Power

In Southeast Asia, Siam can be said to be the only country that can survive on its own.

To the east is the French Indochina colony.

To the west is the Burmese state, and to the south is the Malay Peninsula, all of which are colonies of the British Empire. The reason why

Siam did not become a colony of either side is not because Siam is special or powerful.

It is because England and France need a buffer zone.

Of course, this is not the main reason.

In the last century, King Rama IV played a superb diplomatic role.

Facing the powers expanding to Siam from the east and the west.

He adopted the strategy of uniting with Britain to control France, and then united with Russia and Prussia at the time to restrain England.

At the same time, the domestic market was opened to England.

This preserved Siam's independence and prevented it from becoming a colony.

Then, by seizing marginal territories, he exchanged for the cancellation of England's privileges in Siam.

At the same time, he actively integrated into the Western capitalist system.

In 1910, Siam, with a population of only 9 million, had a fiscal revenue of 450 pounds, equivalent to one-tenth of the fiscal revenue of the Qing Empire at that time.

You can imagine how rich the Siamese royal family is.

Not only now, even in modern time and space.

The Siamese royal family is definitely one of the richest royal families.

It is not much worse than the Saudi royal family at that time.

But the good times did not last long.

The economic crisis hit, and Siam was hit hard.

King Rama VII implemented a series of measures in the follow-up.

Among them was the dismissal of most civil servants and the reduction of huge expenses.

This move directly stirred up a hornet's nest.

In 1932, the military launched a rebellion.

So Siam became a constitutional monarchy.

Then the royalists launched a war, the royal restoration was successful, and Rama VII regained his freedom again.

But then the military officer group headed by Phaya Paphon launched another rebellion.

He became the new prime minister of Siam.

But this prime minister is an active pro-Japanese element and an anti-Chinese element with fierce means. He is extremely hostile to the Chinese and has implemented a series of anti-Chinese measures.

This is the current situation in Siam. (Historical facts, not fabricated.)

Now the royalists are lingering in the southern part of Siam.

If the wheel of history is followed, after the royalists have launched multiple rebellions and failed, they will leave Siam for England in early 34 on the pretext of treating eye diseases.

And they will be forced to abdicate in 35.

To be honest, Jiang Fan didn't know about this period of history before.

So he didn't know about these things that happened in Siam.

It was only after Walton Borg collected 403 Southeast Asian information intelligence that he learned about it.

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What's more, Phraya Phahon is a pro-Japanese element.

With him around, it is impossible for him to control Siam.

So he must be eliminated.

The best way is to support Rama VII and the royalists.

The royal family is very rich.

What they lack most is the army and advanced weapons.

And this is exactly what the Ares Group is best at.

You must know that in addition to selling arms, the Ares Group also undertakes mercenaries and helps train troops.

And these are what the royalists need most.

They also have the money that Jiang Fan needs most.

As long as they get in touch with Rama VII, the two sides will definitely be able to hit it off.

They can even take the opportunity to let Rama VII go to Borneo, and then use the mind controller to become their own.

In this way, the goal of completely controlling Siam can be achieved.

In short, this is the only chance to break the deadlock.

Hua Hin is a coastal town in central Siam.

About 200 kilometers away from Bangkok, it belongs to Siam's Prachuap Khiri Khan Province and faces Pattaya across the sea.

Although it is just a coastal town.

It is a traditional summer resort for the Siamese royal family, with a very gorgeous palace and railway station.

Although Phraya Paphon and others launched a rebellion.

But Rama VII is still the king of Siam.

They didn't dare to go too far, but just sent troops to keep an eye on Hua Hin.

In fact, it is equivalent to house arrest.

This is why Rama VII used this as an excuse to run away.

After some efforts, Robinson, the right-hand man sent by Walton Bogle, finally contacted King Rama VII.

"Ares Group? I've heard of you. You defeated the Dutch colonial forces, occupied the northern part of Borneo, and founded the Ares Group there."

Such a big thing happened in Southeast Asia.

King Rama VII knew about it.

But he just heard about it and was not interested in it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am Robinson, the vice president of Ares Group and the director of Ares Private Arms."

Rama VII was not interested in his identity.

He said impatiently:"I am not interested in your identity. Why did you spend so much effort to see me?"

In order to get this opportunity to see him, the other party spent tens of thousands of dollars.

Robinson did not care about his attitude, but kept a professional fake smile.

"We understand your Majesty's current predicament.

We are confident that we can help your Majesty to get rid of your current predicament and even help your Majesty regain control of Siam."

When he heard this, the lazy Rama VII's eyes lit up slightly.

Then he regained his normal look and questioned,"You? Do you know how powerful the rebels are now?

They even got support from the Orientals.

Now there are Oriental instructors in their army.

They have also purchased a lot of advanced weapons.

Why can you promise to help me regain control?"

Robinson said confidently,"Of course it's based on our strength.

We have the most advanced weapons in the world.

The army's rifles, heavy artillery, and tanks.

The air force's fighters and bombers. The navy's destroyers

, cruisers, and even battleships.

We have them all.

And we now have four infantry brigades of regular mercenaries. The number of troops exceeds 20,000.

The number of tanks exceeds 200.

The number of fighter planes exceeds 100.

I don't know if your Majesty is satisfied with our strength?"

Both Rama VII and the core ministers of the royalist faction were shocked by these words.

Although they thought there was some bragging in them, they were able to defeat the Dutch so easily. They also had some strength.

Now they have lost the help from the outside world.

If they rely on themselves alone, it will be difficult to restore.

If they can get their help, it may be possible.

Thinking of this, Rama VII immediately became interested.

But then he said hesitantly:"Then what do you need? Or what price do you need me to pay?

I don't believe you will help me for no reason."

Hearing this, Robinson knew that this cooperation was stable.

The smile on his face became even brighter.

"We established Ares Group just for money.

As long as we have money, we can sell anything and do any business.

We can not only sell advanced weapons and equipment.

Even our four infantry brigades with more than 20,000 people can become your majesty's mercenaries.

We can even help your majesty train an army loyal to the royal family.

As long as your majesty has enough money."

These words made Rama VII believe it.

Because now he has nothing but money.

Even his throne is shaky.

Money is something outside of the body.

As long as it can help him regain control of Siam, the money spent will soon return to the royal treasury.

"Since you are so powerful, I am willing to hire you and even buy your weapons to train the army.

But I am not free now. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

The rebel army is not far away, staring at my every move.

If you can repel the enemy and defend Huaxin to protect my safety, how much will it cost?"

Robinson thought for a moment and gave a number.

"One million pounds"[]

After hearing this number, Rama VII's mouth twitched.

He widened his eyes and said,"So expensive?"

Robinson spread his hands and said,"This is our charging standard.

In order to complete the requirements of your majesty, we need to dispatch at least two brigades of more than 10,000 troops, and also use a large number of fighter planes and warships. We may even have to pay some casualties.

War is very expensive.

Your majesty, this million pounds is not expensive."

In 1933, the exchange rate between the pound and the US dollar was about 1 to 4.

One million pounds is four million US dollars.

Maybe this is not a small amount of money.

But the Siamese royal family can definitely afford it.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Rama VII and the regent in the palace looked at each other.

Then he said with some pain,"Okay, I am willing to pay, I think you can be faster.

Let the regent connect with you for the next matter."

The more the regent is a core figure of the royalist faction, the more he hates the rebels.

He knows more about the Ares Group than Rama VII.

This may be the only hope to help them break the deadlock.

Although it was a bit expensive, money was the main thing.

As long as they regained control of Siam, one million pounds was not a big deal.

The news quickly spread back to Borneo and also to Jiang Fan.

"Okay, you go to Siam immediately to rescue Rama VII and build a good relationship between the two sides.

This is a great opportunity for the Ares Group to rise."

If the two sides can really cooperate successfully, then the Ares Group will definitely be famous all over the world.

This was just a casual move he made when he got inspiration.

Unexpectedly, it played an unexpected role.

He is looking forward to how far the Ares Group can grow in the future.

He even wants to go to Borneo to take a look.

"The oil fields in Borneo should continue to be developed, and then a complete industrial chain of exploration, drilling, mining, refining and chemical industry should be built."

Walton Borg said solemnly:"Yes, Commander."

Although there are oil fields in China, since there are foreign ones, they must be used first.

Then Walton Borg began to formulate a battle plan.

He decided to use the joint combat method of the three services of the navy, army and air force.

Show it in front of King Rama VII with the strongest posture.

Only in this way can they be willing to pay for cooperation.

The army will mobilize the forces of two brigades.

One of them is a motorized infantry brigade and the other is an amphibious armored brigade.

The air force will mobilize bombers, transport planes and an airborne brigade.

The airborne brigade will land first and open up a landing site.

Then the navy will enter the field and send the forces of the two brigades of the army to Hua Hin.

The Siamese navy also needs to defend.

Although the opponent is very weak, it can also cause some trouble to the landing troops.

The navy will dispatch four Fletcher-class destroyers this time.

This is also the most classic destroyer in World War II, and its strength is still very good.

The tonnage of more than 3,000 tons can completely crush the Siamese Navy.

Their largest warship is only about 2,000 tons, and it is just a coastal defense ship.

In addition to the four Fletcher-class destroyers, there are 24 large-scale personnel landing craft.

There are many models and types of rapids ACV.

It is just a unit in the game, but in reality it includes various types of landing ships/craft.

Among them are large, medium and small personnel air cushion landing craft.

The tonnage ranges from about 10 tons to 500 tons.

There are also tank landing craft with larger tonnage.

The tonnage ranges from 500 tons to 5,000 tons.

It is mainly used to transport heavy equipment.

This time, Waltonborg used a large amphibious personnel air cushion landing craft of 500 tons.

Borneo itself is an island.

This thing was originally intended to be used to fight back against the Dutch.

In addition, the price is very cheap and the production speed is very fast.

So 24 were built at one time, and I didn't expect it to come in handy.

The appearance of the 500-ton air-cushion landing craft is somewhat similar to that in the game.

It has a floating air cushion with bulletproof effect.

It is equipped with 5 turbo propulsion engines with a power of up to 10,000 horsepower.

There are two large propulsion fans and two lifting fans at the rear of the air-cushion landing craft to control the direction.

It can carry 180 fully armed soldiers or 6 Tsunami amphibious tanks or 12 amphibious multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles.

The cruising range is up to 1,500 nautical miles, the economic cruising speed is 18 knots, and the maximum speed is 35 knots.

These 24 air-cushion landing craft can carry an amphibious tank company, an amphibious infantry battalion, and an amphibious self-propelled artillery company at a time.

This force is enough to open up a landing area. Landing ground.

Moreover, there is an airborne brigade to assist in the battle.

Waltonborg does not think that the weak Siamese army can pose too much threat to them.

They are all elite soldiers of the Red Alert Corps.

They have the most advanced weapons and equipment and strong combat effectiveness.

The current Ares Group has been continuously increasing its troops during this period.

Its strength is no longer the same as before.

Although the scale of the troops is not large, its actual combat effectiveness is comparable to that of some small and medium-sized countries.

This is not the limit of the Ares Group.

In the future, the Ares Group will be Jiang Fan's sharpest knife overseas.

It has the strength comparable to that of a large country, and its identity is still a private military group.

Only in this way can we act without scruples.

Waltonborg is preparing for landing in Hua Hin.

The shelling in Lushun has also lasted for ten days.

During these ten days.

The 24 Red Alert cannons of the two train artillery regiments fired a total of 12,000 shells.

An average of 1,200 shells were fired every day.

The peacekeeping bombers dispatched more than 500 sorties.

A total of more than 500 Grand Slam bunker bombs were dropped.

Among these 29 highlands, each highland was allocated an average of 413 450mm shells and 17 Grand Slam bunker bombs.

The task of destroying the 29 highlands of the entire Lushun Fortress was basically completed.

The barrels of these Red Alert cannons are basically approaching the limit of their life.

In other words, they can be scrapped.

The life limit of each Red Alert cannon is only 600 shells. The current Lushun is completely different from the previous Lushun.

All the artillery positions have been completely destroyed.

All the highlands have lost their due functions.

In addition to the destruction of these highlands.

The casualties were also very serious, reaching more than 30,000 people.

More than 100,000 people were trembling under the cannons.

However, Ling Liang still did not launch an attack.

Instead, he said:"Launch artillery and carpet bombing on Lushun Port for three days.

I don't want to see a single intact building in Lushun."

All the artillery positions were destroyed, and this time it was the turn of the Lushun Port area. The reason why she did not attack the buildings in the Port of Lushun during the ten-day bombardment was that she wanted to gather most of the Japanese troops here.

Then she launched a large-scale bombardment and bombing to kill as many people as possible.

Then she launched a general offensive to completely eliminate the remaining Japanese troops in Lushun.
