Battle of the Third Reich

On November 10, 1940, Berlin's day began to dim at more than five o'clock. The press conference originally scheduled to be held at the Prime Minister's Office was temporarily canceled. The head of the press, Sliez, did not explain to the media. The reason, in fact, it is not necessary for him to do so. All German newspapers and magazines are under the control of Goebbels.

"This is a report just translated by the Communications Office. Would you like to help you make another pot of tea? My head." Disenhofen put a document on Xu Jun's hand.

"No, is Ribbentrop out?" Xu Jun stood with his hands on the window sill of the headquarters' private office, looking down at the heavily guarded headquarters compound downstairs, with a lit cigar twisted between his fingers .

"Mr. Vice Minister has been waiting for your call." Disenhofen packed the tea set on the table and put it carefully into the cart.

"Let him come in and call Weiler." Xu Jun turned his head and said to Disenhofen.

"Observe, my head, what else do you need?" the adjutant asked respectfully.

"No, I'm going to have dinner with several generals later. What time is it set?"

"At eight o'clock, my head of state."

"Understood, then hurry up and call them in." Xu Jun, holding a cigar, walked back to his desk and sat down, turning over the newly delivered document.

"Hi! Reinhardt!" Weierle and Ribbentrop walked into the office one after the other and stood at the door to raise their arms to salute the lord of the empire.

"Please sit down, gentlemen." Xu Jun raised his hand and turned his wrist in response.

"I just thought about it, or send a report to Bloomberg as I originally meant." Xu Jun closed the file and put it in the file box on the low cabinet beside the table. The files placed here will be left temporarily This office is convenient for him to consult again.

"Does France reply the same way? My head." Ribbentrop asked forward leaning forward.

"Same thing, there won't be any problems there in Betan." Xu Jun spit out a cigarette group and waved at the Deputy Foreign Minister.

"So over London"

"Thank you to Prime Minister Chamberlain, don’t forget to take care of his physical problems in the message, and say that I hope he can recover as soon as possible." The head of empire ripped a page off the table on the table and picked it up with a pen. He lowered the nib, and then started writing on the paper.

"At the same time, one more item will be added. The Third Reich is satisfied that the border conflict between Siam and France will eventually be resolved peacefully. In order to effectively maintain peace in South Asia, Germany will send a local government to the United Kingdom Support a joint observation team to monitor the ceasefire between the two countries and the post-war handling issues." Xu Jun said to Ribbentrop, but turned his head and handed the note to Weiller.

"This is my request to you. I agree with your previous suggestion. Eye of Odin can recruit some local employees in Southeast Asia. I need to establish a surveillance network in Siam within six months."

"One hundred of my heads may not be enough." Weierle frowned as he looked at the raft.

"Then increase it to three hundred people. Make a list for me if you need anything. Is there any difficulty in funding?" Xu Jun unscrewed the pen barrel.

"There are currently no questions, my head." Weierle replied respectfully.

Odin Eye has its own independent financial system, annual investment profits in various parts of the world, and several conventional gray incomes, which add up to an astronomical figure. The specific data is only qualified by the most senior executives and heads of state.

"My head, the condition you just said is whether it needs to be added in the text or in the attachment." Ribbentrop asked.

"Add to the annex. When will the truce negotiations begin?"

"Berlin time, five o'clock tomorrow morning." Ribbentrop replied.

"Who is our representative?"

"Ludendorff the military attaché in French Indochina and Ambassador Deville in Siam."

"Weirle, wait a minute to send the files of the two of them." Xu Jun turned to look at Weirle.

"Yes, my head." Weiller nodded and answered.

"I didn't expect the war to end so quickly. I thought the Siamese could stick to it for a few more days." The head of the empire pressed the plastic piston at the end of the barrel to refill the pen.

"The French army used Siam's own railway line, so the troops progressed very fast. Their vanguard was only 50 kilometers away from Bangkok three hours ago. If the Siamese decisively blew up several of the Chao Phraya River. The bridge, the French army can already attack the Siamese capital." Weierle replied.

"Baiwen Songkan is temporarily unable to step down, and the French agree that they also think that a military dictator is easier to deal with than cunning politicians." Xu Jun said to Ribbentrop.

"This is also your opinion, my head of state." The foreign minister's face was flattered.

"Well." Xu Jun nodded slightly.

"The French are ready to announce their great victory to the world on the front page of tomorrow. Betan's position has become more stable, my head of state." Weiler said aside.

"Don't worry about this, Weierle, Betan has a lot of handles on our hands. As long as the Imperial Army continues to win, the French will be the most loyal collaborators. If Bethan has any other ideas, Then consider starting a replacement plan. Now that the French have tasted the sweetness of cooperation, the domestic situation has started to improve. From the point of view of Petain’s physical condition, he can still be in power for at least five years." The cigar on the rim took a sip.

"As long as the solution proposed by the Japanese does not conflict too much with ours, you can make a little concession. Blumberg should leave for Japan today. Don't worry about it more with the Japanese. "Xu Jun said to Ribbentrop.

"On the island of Oshima, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepared a gift to send it over, saying that he thanked him for his contribution to the friendship between Germany and Japan. Just like that, you can handle this matter now." Speaking on the desktop.

"According to the order, I will do it immediately, my head of state." Ribbentrop stood up and said respectfully to Xu Jun.

"What do you think of this war, Weierle." Xu Jun turned back to look at Weierle as he watched the Deputy Foreign Minister close the door.

"French-Siamese war? Isn't this the end you want to see, my head?" Weyler's mouth smiled cunningly.

"I know that the eyes of Odin played a key role in it. I turned back and submitted a detailed report to me. Some people deserved rewards." Xu Jun also laughed.

"Siam still has many people loyal to the royal family. The Bangkok dynasty has ruled this country for 158 years, and the respect for the royal family has been deeply implanted in the soul of the Siamese. He and his comrades have been trying to reduce the influence of the royal family, but it has not had any effect. The Siamese people still respect the blood of the royal family of Rama.

This time, it was also because the agent of the Eye of Odin accidentally contacted Prince Bender who took refuge in French Indochina. This person has a high prestige in the Siamese army. The **** royalist has twice initiated the intention Although the coup that restored the royal family eventually failed, the prince still retained many contacts in the army.

Through him, we contacted the senior officers of the Siamese army who were dissatisfied with the dictatorship of Pébon, and obtained a large amount of confidential information from the Siamese Army General Command. The Eastern Army’s combat plan is only one of them.

And we also found the Japanese spy network hidden in Siam. Although the Japanese started from a different point, we also hoped that Siam and France would fight, so we pushed behind them. "Weiler said smugly.

The existing nationalist ideas of Siam are imported from Japan. As the only monarchy in Asia, Japan has always believed that Siam has many similarities with itself. It also absorbs Western technology and retains its own culture.

In order to win over the Siamese royal family, Japan accepts a group of royal family members to study abroad in their own country every year, and also attempts to import the Japanese lotus sect into Siam to religiously transform the Siamese national thought. Eventually because Theravada Buddhism is deeply entrenched in the local area The attempt failed.

However, the chauvinistic ideas spread in Japan were widely respected and praised because they were beneficial to the rule of the Siamese royal family. The young officers in the army have long been instilled with radical thinking. They have learned military technology from the Japanese and learned how to take down.

Since the first attempted coup d’état in 1912, the Siamese army has regarded the mutiny almost as a tradition, either because of its extremely limited strength and combat effectiveness. At this frequency, it has already caused serious damage to the country. .

This attack on the ground in French Indochina was actually an action initiated by some middle-level officers of the Eastern Legion Command privately. It was not until after dinner that day that the Bangkok side was informed of the situation, but at this time, even if Pebong Song wanted to do What remedy is obviously too late.

Although the Siamese Army claims to have half a million troops, it is actually only the two legions on the eastern border that can be pulled out, so when the strongest Eastern Army is almost annihilated, the entire Siam-Cambodian border is completely opened.

The incident happened too suddenly. Bangkok had no time to mobilize the troops to rescue. The order to the Northeast Army was inexplicably delayed. As a result, when the French troops rushed across the border, the mobilizable forces in Bangkok, Only one brigade, two battalions directly under the headquarters, and three armored companies remained.

It is not very clear how the fighting power of these directly affiliated troops is. They are quite expert in initiating the mutiny, but the problem is that they are now facing the police and citizens, but the prestigious French army.

There are only six Vickers tanks left in Bangkok, and half a battalion of anti-tank artillery. There is a serious lack of heavy firepower that can suppress the French Army forces, and the air supremacy of the capital has been seized by the French colonial air force. At this moment, the French army is prevented from occupying the capital. , Has become an impossible thing.

Although the Japanese side took the initiative to inform them that they had sent a joint fleet, they would contain Siam's French attack on the sea. But for the problems on land, the Japanese shook their heads and said that they could do nothing.

So the Siamese government can only pin all its hopes on diplomatic mediation. If anyone in this world can stop the French from moving forward, there are only two people, one is French President Betten and the other is German. Heads of state.

The Siamese government immediately issued diplomatic documents to the two countries through diplomatic institutions, asking the French for a truce and the Germans for good offices.

After a whole day of anxious waiting, Pebun Songkan received the response from the German side as expected, and also received a letter of persuasion from the Governor of French Indochina.

In the evening of the same day, after receiving the news that the main force of the navy was hit hard, Pebun Songkang sent a military envoy to request a truce from the French Army. The French knew that the fat in Bangkok was actually filled with bones. The city was not as easy to eat as expected. In addition, Paris also issued an order. It simply agreed with Siam’s request and issued an order immediately. The French army, which had been on all fronts, stopped attacking on the spot.

At 7:30 p.m. on November 10, the Franco-Siamese war finally came to an end. From the first bomb to the Shisho Air Station, until the ceasefire order was issued, a total of 36 hours passed. So later generations called this regional conflict [a half-day war].
