()

Time goes back to April 24, 1910, outside Chiang Rai, Siam. 【Baidu search\u003cb\u003e1 3kan.com\u003c/b\u003e Member login\u003cb\u003e1 3kan.com\u003c/b\u003e】

"Sure enough, the guards here are very lax, which makes it easy for us to do things," Francisco Franco said to the Siamese soldiers next to him.

"Also, call everyone over and say that we have subdued everyone near the gate."

"Yes, Second Lieutenant." The people next to him looked at Franco differently now than at the beginning. When they saw this young white guy before, they felt that he was too young because of his ability. It is doubtful, after all, he became a second lieutenant at a young age. He holds the fate of dozens of people in his hands, and the other party is said to have graduated from the Spanish Army School, and became a second lieutenant right after graduation. ..

He has fought in the Arabian Peninsula. He is only 17 years old this year and has already gained rich military exploits. It is said that if he can successfully complete his orders in Siam this time, then combined, he will be promoted to lieutenant in the future. .

Lieutenant! That's the company commander's adjutant of a company of 150 people. The 17-year-old deputy company commander feels terrible just thinking about it.

Brother Francisco naturally saw the admiration and admiration for him in the eyes of those Siamese soldiers. It would be a lie to say that he is unhappy. His career, which is less than a year old, has brought about his rapid growth, especially the two major military operations. It can be said that it gave him huge opportunities. The last time he had a big fight with the Saudi family He had already accumulated a lot of military merit during that time, and now this time. He was the vanguard sent by the Kingdom of Siam to lead the disguised advance into Chiang Rai City in this sneak attack, and it seems to have been successful now. As one of the three major sneak attack locations this time, his credit will naturally not be He was obliterated. Therefore, coupled with his achievements in the Kingdom of Nejd, he boldly guessed that this time he would definitely be promoted to lieutenant, lieutenant. If you get home. My parents, sisters, and brothers will definitely be shocked. ..

And Grandpa Carl should also be satisfied with his progress.

If I can really obtain military ranks such as cover at this age, I may leave an impression on the commander of the Army, the Chief of Staff, or even the Minister of National Defense and the Chief of General Staff. If that's the case, then it's definitely for his life. It should be a very important stage. so. He injected great energy into the subsequent military operations.

On the morning of April 25, 1910, those who originally wanted to enter the city found Zian instead. The whole city of Chiang Rai has turned into a breathless thing, and the people guarding the surrounding gates have turned into people with fake Bangkok accents. Such a change soon made Arpiyo in Phnom Penh aware of this absolutely bad news for him.

Hearing that the person who was originally in charge of management in Chiang Mai was now speaking out with a lot of logic, he couldn't help but frown. What came out of my heart was still more displeasure.

The guy in front of him is a relative of his biggest assistant. If such a person punishes him too much, he may face the possibility of rebellion, and he definitely cannot withstand a major personnel attack now. Rebellion, so on this issue, he chose to remain silent, instead leaving it to his other men to decide how to punish the other party.

"Send a telegram to France immediately to request assistance." He thought for a while, and finally felt that it would be better for the French to make the decision. Although he was unwilling, the French were now his backers. If he wanted to go further, If this is to maintain the rule of the northeastern region of Siam, then the support of France is absolutely essential. I sighed secretly in my heart, father, is this the task you gave me? No matter how you look at it, it feels difficult. Go to heaven!

He stroked his forehead with a headache, and then glanced at his military advisor, Bontisua, "How is Vacharajong's current army distributed?"

"Your Highness, now we find that Prince Vacharajong has stationed a large number of troops in Chiang Mai. It is estimated that there should be no less than 20,000 people. There are now no less than 10,000 troops in Chiang Rai, and in Kong in the south of us Respect, it is said that there are more than 30,000 people there now, and they have just taken control of Ubon Ratchathani, which they took from us, and now there are no less than 10,000 people. According to the news we got from France, the Bangkok Army While invading us, they also invaded Battambang, the most important city located between Bangkok and Phnom Penh, under the jurisdiction of Prince Lapi. The troops stationed there were no more than 20,000. In addition, it is said that in the Malay Peninsula in the south, There are also no less than 30,000 Bangkok troops. In addition to the more than 70,000 troops in Bangkok and Nakhon Sawan combined, His Highness Vacharajong now controls at least nearly 200,000 troops."

"We still have that guy who's a skinny guy."

“Now we have 40,000 people in Vientiane, and 20,000 people each in Baba, Savannakhet, Luang Prabang and Bei Shan. Together, we have an army of 120,000 people.

The southeastern region where Prince Lapi is currently vacant has a slightly smaller number than us, with 100,000 people. It is said that there are 50,000 people in Phnom Penh, 20,000 people in Sihanoukville and 10,000 people in Kratie. Originally there was only one Siem Reap, which has thousands of people, was attacked by the Bangkok Army, causing Battambang's 10,000 people to be defeated in Siem Reap. Therefore, it is said that there are 20,000 people in Siem Reap now, defending the Bangkok Army's final sneak attack. "

After listening to Su Wa's words, Apiyo's face became better.

Not to mention that Apio is here, Lapi in the southeast is now furious. Unlike Vientiane, behind it is the support of France, which has an advantage in Vietnam. He can only get some British support at sea, and he still needs it. Only in the British Philippines or British Malaya across the southern sea, this greatly increased the gap between the French colonies adjacent to the Apio land.

Of course, these are not the most important things. The damn thing is that that guy Wacha Lazhong actually attacked me when I was not prepared, and he succeeded very smoothly. You must know that Battambang is in the territory under his jurisdiction. , the largest city after Phnom Penh, it also has a huge strategic location. First of all, it is an important pass to guard the Bangkok army under the leadership of Vacharajong from the east. Second, it can retreat and advance there. When he accumulates enough After reaching a certain level of strength, it can be used as a bridgehead to attack Bangkok. It can be said that Battambang is definitely one of the most important gates in Siam to protect Bangkok. I originally planned to increase the manpower, but before I had time, it has changed hands like this. , the regret in his heart can even be described as sad.

"Forget it, let's react to the British. Anyway, it seems that I, the owner of this territory, have not been in a hurry. They are much more anxious than me. In this case, I think they will give me some help." He naturally said to himself When he said this, his eyes showed a look of unwillingness to be inferior from time to time.

In this way, after the two people told the British and French people about the matter, the British and French people of course couldn't sit still. An old Tralongkorn can be said to have been boiled by the two countries like a frog boiled in warm water. Britain and France were like eating steaks, cutting off and harvesting colonies piece by piece in the Kingdom of Siam. Many lands on the Malay Peninsula today originally belonged to the Kingdom of Siam, but due to the British's use of force and threats, Siam was Tralongkorn of Luo Kingdom had to agree little by little to give up land to Britain and France. Naturally, if the requirements of France and Britain were met, Siam could continue to preserve Duli. However, this continued for several years and ten years. In a few years, the Kingdom of Siam, which originally dominated the Indochina Peninsula, has now reached the stage of falling apart.

And this is what the United Kingdom wants to see. As long as it falls apart, the conflict of interests between Britain and France will be reduced. The result is that the two countries can safely take over diverted countries like Siam as colonies.

Originally, after knowing the strength of Wacharadong, they planned to use Wacharadong's hand to make Apiyo and Lapi more dependent on their respective backstages. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, but if it is on land, Bangkok If Wacharadu develops its strength too quickly and too large, then for them, this is definitely an undesirable result. Therefore, the British stood up again this time, and this time they were strict. Condemning Watcharajong in Bangkok.

France, of course, suffered the same damage as Britain. At this time, he naturally followed Britain and waved his dissatisfaction with Bangkok. At the same time, the threat from the two countries was very obvious.

"We do not hope that Siam, a peaceful country, will suffer serious consequences because of someone's actions. We hope that Siam will continue to develop its economy and continue to develop Siam's Westernization career. Rather than the opposite, Just for the sake of power, they forget that the people of Siam are people who want to live a stable life.”

"No one can provoke a dispute. It is very obvious now that Prince Lapi and Prince Apiyo are now being attacked by the prince of Siam. This is inhumane. After all, as heirs to the throne, they should have their due In terms of demeanor, His Highness Wacharazhong still needs to continue to cultivate his character to make up for his shortcomings."

"The British and French are putting pressure on each other at the same time, but in front of people all over the world, it is equivalent to two elephants pointing their noses at a little goat and pointing fingers at it. This scene feels very oppressive. Everyone knows , in fact, seriously speaking, everyone knows that Prince Apiyo is pro-French, and Prince Rapi is a person who has a special affection for Britain. It is said that the current girlfriend of Prince Rapi is Coming from an aristocratic family in the UK, Prince Lapi is definitely a serious and reliable person when it comes to dealing with Britain.

Vacharajun has been studying abroad at the University of Madrid in Spain since he was 14 years old. Now many years have passed, his feelings for Spain will definitely not be lower than the feelings of the two previous princes towards the countries where they studied abroad. In this case , so Britain and France both protect their respective princes who have a good impression of them. So, what about Spain? Will Spain do something to give Wacha Lazhong, the prince of Siam, a whistle or secretly? What about support? Many people have a curious attitude towards this. "
