The history of the kings of the Bangkok Dynasty becoming puppets has not been long...

Rama VI, whose Chinese name is Zheng Bao, was the sixth monarch of the Bangkok Dynasty and the first king to study abroad in Thailand. He served as an army general since the return of Britain and ascended the throne in 1910. At the same time, he carried out the famous Chokri reform in China (the area at that time was now Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia).

Rama VI once did many things, such as introducing compulsory education systems to build power plants, sewers, Bangkok International Airport and other infrastructure.

In addition, the white elephant flag that has been used since Rama II was abolished, and the tricolor flag that is now used was designed. A new surname method was formulated so that ordinary citizens could also have surnames. The Thai calendar era was changed to Buddha Nirvana, and became the third country in the world to introduce scouts. In order to improve the level of environmental sanitation in Thailand, the Thai Red Cross was established because the daughter of Rama V's half-brother died of rabies. To make up for the lack of Thai vocabulary, many new words were invented.

In addition, Rama VI himself was good at English and French, and also created and translated many literary works, and even wrote scripts to perform in front of the people. He imitated the West, abolished polygamy, and implemented the policy of assimilation of Chinese people. He participated in the First World War, and then joined the League of Nations. He sent many English and French students to transform the Imperial Garden into a public park, and established the first public library in the park.

Rama VI was determined to establish the Thai team into a well-trained and modern regular force. He carried out major reforms to the national army and separated the Royal Thai Navy from the national defense part to establish the Royal Navy. His brother Prince Bripa served as the Minister of the Navy.

On May 1, 1911, he announced the establishment of a new paramilitary organization in Bangkok, named "Wild Tigers". This was formed in the model of the British Defence Force, which was divided into regiments and brigades in the British army. The difference was that it was a direct-level force commanded by Rama VI. Later, he formed the Wild Tigers Imperial Army, absorbing court officials to participate, and held military training every day.

Therefore, at that time, the king of Thailand was not only not a puppet, but was quite authoritative.

Until October 1, 1921, he announced the "Regulations on Compulsory Education in Primary Schools". It allows children across Siam to enjoy free compulsory education, and increase the number of students admitted abroad from the common people...

If the previous reforms were all good, then this measure would be to dig a grave for the Bangkok Dynasty.

Because although Rama VI implemented many policies, it was quite scattered in terms of financial management (especially the security team organized with the Scouts as the center. This organization caused considerable oppression to the finances). In the end, the state's finances worsened during the later term of Rama VI. The king's centralized rule was overthrown by the French students sent by Rama VI, and changed to a constitutional monarchy.

Rama VII was Rama VI's younger brother, and was actually ranked second in the order of succession of the throne at that time. Because the Crown Prince Asdangdedschavudh died unexpectedly in February 1925, he ascended the throne in November 1925 without sufficient preparation. Shortly after he ascended the throne, he encountered a world economic crisis (the Great Depression). Siam was also not spared. The young king, who had received higher education in Europe, found himself in the palace.

There was no need to do much. In order to save money, he fired a large number of palace laborers and dismissed a large number of civil servants again. However, this caused general dissatisfaction and annoyed the military. Coupled with the poor economic situation at that time, it eventually led to the revolution in the summer of 1932 and established a constitutional monarchy. The new government gave the king two choices: hand over power to the parliament to continue to be a king (constitutional monarchy) or directly abdicate. Rama VII chose to retain the throne.

However, the one who is in power now is Tojo Hideki, who belongs to a different faction as Yamashita Bongfumi. In history, after Yamashita Bongfumi won the title of "Malay Tiger", he failed to return to the local area for this reason. Now that such a big thing has happened, no one knows that Tojo Hide will not take advantage of the opportunity...

"But the Chinese may start siegeing the city soon. I believe that guy Tojo should not punish me at this time?"

Thinking of this, while Yamashita Fengfu felt glad, he didn't know whether he should be grateful to the Chinese who made him such a Chinese.

And things were indeed as expected by Yamashita Tobuki. After learning that Rama VIII was rescued by the Chinese, Hideki Tojo was quite annoyed.

But at such a critical moment, Hideki Tojo could not replace Tsubaki Yamashita. After all, changing generals in the last battle is a taboo in military strategists. Hideki Tojo still understands this.

———————————————————

Shortly after Rama VIII was taken to the army, He Zhuguo ordered artillery and air force to place a large number of leaflets into Bangkok City. As for the contents of the leaflets, of course, Rama VIII had already submitted to the National Socialist Government.

At the same time, in order to prevent Yamashita Fengwen and others from denying it, He Zhuguo also added a sentence to the leaflet.

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Yamashita Bongmoon and others to bring Rama VIII to everyone to explain."

He Zhuguo is quite confident that Feng Wen and others in the mountains will definitely not be able to hand over real people.

Moreover, Rama VIII's incident was very urgent. In such a short period of time, it was impossible for them to find a substitute who was exactly the same as Rama VIII.

He Zhuguo's plan worked. After seeing the leaflet, the Thai troops did cause a stir. Many lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers even ran to Luan Piwen Songkan and asked them to explain clearly whether Rama VIII was really no longer in Bangkok as the leaflet said. If it was really gone, was Rama VIII kidnapped or did it pass by voluntarily as the Chinese said?

Faced with everyone's questioning, Luan Piwen Songkan and others were in a state of turmoil.

However, in a hurry, Luan Piwen Songkan really couldn't find a guy who was exactly the same as Rama VIII. As for what was similar to what he had come out to replace him?

The kings of Thailand are not like the emperors of China, and they are not the kind who have always lived in the palace. In addition, after the constitutional monarchy, Rama VIII became a puppet, so the exposure of Rama VIII to the public is actually not small.

In this case, if you make one out, it will easily be exposed.

Therefore, in the end, Luan Piwen Songkan could only reluctantly admit that Rama VIII was not in Bangkok. Of course, Luan Piwen Songkan would never admit that Rama VIII voluntarily joined the Central Alliance, but said that he was kidnapped by the Chinese...

However, those ordinary officers and the public did not believe such words.

After all, Rama VIII's family is not small, and at least there are a few people. Such a family was tied out of Bangkok without a sound, and under the close custody of Luan Piwen Songkan and Fengwen of the Shanxia. Is this possible?

On the other side, He Zhuguo was not in a hurry to attack the city, but kept dropping leaflets to Bangkok.

I have to say that Luan Piwen? Songkan's purge was quite effective, and Rama VIII had been a puppet for many years. So even under the attack of leaflets, there was still no Thai troops rebelling and surrendering to China as He Zhuguo thought.

Fortunately, the expected chaos did occur. By the time it was still night, there could even be dense gunfire in Bangkok. The members of the Military Intelligence Bureau lurking in Bangkok also confirmed this.

So on the third day after Rama VIII arrived at the Wehrmacht barracks, shelling and bombing began...

The dense bombing and artillery nearly flattened the defense line outside Bangkok city, and the Thai army on the defense line also had a sharp drop in morale due to Rama VIII, and was almost defeated under the offensive of the National Defense Force. If it weren't for the Japanese army on the defense line at that time, it would have been possible that the early troops would have been able to attack the city.

Fortunately, the Japanese did not have much military force in Bangkok, and a considerable number of them needed to be deployed in the city to help Luan Piwen Songkan handle the chaos in the city.

Therefore, after a day and night of artillery bombing and bombing, when the Japanese on the defense line were almost injured and killed, the National Defense Forces launched an offensive against Bangkok again and directly attacked the city.

There is no way to deal with this situation. Luan Piwen Songkan and Yamashita Fengwen have no choice. After all, because of Rama VIII, the morale of the Thai army fell too quickly, and with tens of thousands of Japanese troops alone, it is obvious that they cannot defend themselves from the huge Bangkok.

"Mr. Prime Minister. It seems that the plan is going to be ahead of schedule..."

Listening to the sound of gunfires in the city, Feng Wen at the foot of the mountain turned to Luan Piwen? Songkan said.

“How long can I last?”

Luan Piwen Songkan asked.

"I don't know either..." Yamashita Fengmo shook his head. Generally speaking, the siege battle is definitely a nightmare for the siege side. Just think about the defense battles in various parts of Russia now. However, the urban battle is also extremely cruel, and it is also a test of the perseverance of the offensive and defensive sides. Now the morale of the Thai army has fallen too fast, so in Yamashita Fengmo's opinion, it was originally possible to persist for at least half a month to Bangkok. It is really unreasonable to hold on for how long this time it can last.

If you are not lucky, it is possible for two or three days...

After all, most of the Thai troops that now occupy a majority in Bangkok are soldiers without fighting spirit...

Although Yamashita Tomomi was once called the "Tiger of Malay" and now he is also known as the "Tiger of Indochina", Yamashita Tomomimi is not a god after all, and it is impossible for him to turn the world around in the face of absolute advantage, otherwise Japan would not have been defeated in history.

While Fengwen and Luan Piwen Songkan were still sighing, the air force attacked the more difficult strongholds in the city under the guidance of the ground troops that had already entered the city.

There is no need to worry that the Air Force will accidentally injure its own people, because the siege troops carry colored smoke bombs. This smoke bomb can not only be thrown by hand, but also uses grenade launchers to fire from a long distance.

Therefore, the siege troops only need to throw this smoke bomb near the target, and the air force that was called will naturally aim at the target and bombard it.

Of course, it is definitely a bit dangerous to do this. After all, if the target is bombed more accurately, even the dive bomber needs to be reduced to a lower distance. At this time, the Japanese and Thais can just use anti-aircraft machine guns and other equipment to shoot.

In fact, so far, nearly double-digit dive bombers have indeed been shot down.

However, compared with the results they achieved, this loss is still affordable.

On the first day, there were about three infantry units of the invasion of Bangkok, and by the second day, nearly ten divisions of troops had already invaded Bangkok.

Under the attack of these siege troops, the defenders in the city were retreating step by step, and many Thai troops surrendered without resistance. Now, if the Japanese had not existed as the mainstay, Bangkok would have fallen into the hands of He Zhuguo.

However, according to He Zhuguo's opinion, this time is not very far away.

Because by the third day, the siege troops had occupied at least one-third of the urban area, and by the fifth day, the area of ​​the urban area it occupied had reached one-half of Bangkok, that is, half.

In addition, the siege troops are getting closer and closer to the Prime Minister's Office in Bangkok. Fengwen and Luan Piwen Songkan, who are commanding the battle in the Prime Minister's Office, can even hear the sound of **** more clearly...

On the other hand, He Zhuguo had also thought of ordering the troops to control the port in Bangkok first.

However, the ones responsible for guarding the port were the elite troops of Yamashita Fengwen and the direct troops of Luan Piwen Songkan, so their offensive against the port was in failure.

However, this can also be regarded as a wake-up call for Luan Piwen Songkan. It made Luan Piwen Songkan, who had been unwilling to leave Bangkok, understand that if he didn't leave, there was no need for him to leave...

"General, let's go..."

After sorting out the clothes, Luan Piwen Songkan faced the mountain to worship Wen.

Long before He Zhuguo began to attack the city, Luan Piwen Songkan's family had been sent to Australia by the mountain for writing, so now Luan Piwen Songkan is a real light...

When he heard Luan Piwen Songkan's words, Fengwen of the Shanxia nodded.

"Mr. Prime Minister, please!"

Although Bangkok City had already formed a group at this time, Yamashita Fengwen and others always controlled several routes to the port, so they could pass along the way without any obstacles.

However, when they arrived at the port, the sound of gunfire near the port became denser. It seemed that He Zhuguo had never given up on capturing the port and put Fengwen and Luan Piwen Songkan at the foot of the mountain together.

It’s a pity that from the perspective of time, it’s too late no matter what…

When Luan Piwen Songkan sat on a heavy cruiser to welcome him, he stood on the deck and looked back at Luan Piwen Songkan in Bangkok, suddenly pondered. No one knew what he was thinking in his mind, and no one knew whether he had ever regretted the choice of turning to the Axis powers.

No matter what, all this has nothing to do with Luan Piwen Songkan.

Now the only expectation of Luan Piwen Songkan is that after losing his capital and most of his army, he will not become an insignificant little person...

At the same time, the news of Luan Piwen Songkan leaving the city has spread to the ears of the defenders in Bangkok...

———————————————————

When the news of Luan Piwang Songkan's escape spread throughout Bangkok, the news was like a bolt from the blue to the Thai army in Bangkok.

After Rama VIII voluntarily arrived in China, most of the Thai troops who were still fighting in the city were Luan Piwen Songkan's direct troops. One of the reasons why they would continue to fight was because Luan Piwen Songkan was still in the city.

Now that Luan Piwen Songkan's escape has made the previous struggles of these Thai soldiers become meaningless.

Therefore, when the news spread throughout the city, the Thai troops who were still fighting quickly collapsed.

The National Defense Force, who was responsible for siege, found that many of the difficult offensives and strongholds that were originally difficult to siege were no longer defended, and even many Thai soldiers who were still fighting to the death with them came out with white flags.

The officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces who were fighting in front of him were naturally unclear. When the news reached He Zhuguo, He Zhuguo quickly understood that it was definitely Luan Piwen? Songkan and Fengwen of the Shanxia who ran away.

If this were not the case, it would be absolutely impossible for the Thai army in the city to have such a situation collectively.

For He Zhuguo, although it was a pity for him to catch Luan Piwen, Songkan and Yamashita Fengwen. But isn’t it a good thing to be able to win Bangkok at a smaller price?

After all, the city war is still too cruel. Although the morale of the Thais has dropped a lot due to Rama VIII, the National Defense Forces have suffered almost thousands of casualties these days. If they continue to fight, it will be absolutely necessary to exceed ten thousand.

Therefore, while reporting this news to Beijing, He Zhuguo also sent someone to invite Rama VIII, who was arranged to protect by him.

Although Rama VIII's future destiny is probably the same as in the past, it can only be a puppet in the hands of the new Thai government and the Chinese government. However, this puppet is still very useful at this time. After all, no matter what, he is also the nominal leader of Thailand.

And most importantly, He Zhuguo needed him to subdue the guerrillas everywhere in Thailand.

During the days when the offensive against Bangkok, the guerrillas in Thailand attacked the guerrillas of He Zhuguo's troops like crazy. Not only were the railways and bridges along the way bombed, but even the car troops carrying supplies were blown up hundreds of trucks...

Although these guerrillas will not have any impact on the overall situation, it is a good thing to solve them as soon as possible.

Therefore, He Zhuguo needs to give Rama VIII a gorgeous entry ceremony to enhance Rama VIII's influence... to be continued...
