The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spnps:

There is another chapter after midnight!

The situation on the border between China and Thailand became increasingly tense, and the number of troops transferred to the border by the Chinese National Defense Forces continued to increase, and soon increased to 1917 in March 3.

The terrified King Rama VI sent his own brother, Prince Buripa, to the frontier to command the Siamese army massed on the frontier.

In order to prevent the Chinese army from invading Siam, Rama VI continued to mobilize troops to the border. After his reforms over the years, Siam has initially established a modern system of army and navy. [

On March 3, the Republic of China issued an ultimatum to the Siamese government, ordering King Rama VI to stop anti-Chinese immediately in an imperative tone, and to go to Beijing to worship and apologize in person.

King Rama VI was furious after receiving the ultimatum. At this time, Siam was at least the second most powerful country in Asia and the most powerful country in the Indochina Peninsula. Why did China regard Siam as a vassal state?

But Rama VI also realized that Siam was not China's opponent.

Relying on Siam alone cannot stop China, and we can only rely on foreigners for the current plan.

So Rama VI hurriedly met with the British and French ambassadors and raised his concerns.

The British and French ambassadors heard that Rama VI was worried about China's attack on Siam, and immediately stated that once the war broke out, Britain and France would support Siam in resisting China's invasion no matter how tense the European battlefield was.

Even France is so committed.

This made King Rama VI overjoyed. Not long ago, he wanted to pretend to be a grandson, but now he was full of bullshit, and he strongly stated to China that Siam can cancel the Chinese exclusion policy, but it is reasonable to go to Beijing to apologize. Do not agree.

After receiving this reply from Siam, the Chinese government immediately held a diplomatic press conference on March 3.

However, this time the diplomatic press conference was held in Huai'an, and the diplomatic spokesperson became Marshal's wife Yi Weijun.

The Yi sisters are not used to doing things at home, so Yi Ruizhi continues to be Jiang Yu's personal secretary, and Yi Weijun is the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Brita serves as the president of the Association of German Expatriates, and she is dedicated to solving the problems of Germans working and living in China.

Yi Weijun, who was speaking on stage for the first time, was not at all stage frightened.He walked up to the podium generously, and coughed slightly in front of the many reporters below.

"Hello, friends from the press, the purpose of this press conference is to inform everyone of the Republic of China's decision on the handling of the Bangkok Dynasty of Siam." Yi Weijun raised his voice, and the reporters below were suddenly shocked.

Handle the decision?

Dealing with the word...

It seems that China can interfere with Siam at will.

"As we all know, Siam has been a vassal state of China since ancient times, also known as a subsidiary state. The country of Siam was established in the [-]th century. At that time, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty fled to Siam due to the Mongolian invasion. It was established under the influence of Han culture. The country. After that, Siam was conferred by China in the past dynasties. Since ancient times, China has entrusted the vassal state with the territory handed over to the vassal king. But the vassal king does not have the sovereignty conditions. If the vassal state fails to fulfill its obligations, then China has the right to take back the land of the vassal state "Ivan Jun slowly narrated the history of Siam, and then changed the topic, "However, before this, Siam did not think about the grace of the upper kingdom, and openly carried out anti-Chinese and trampled on the dignity of the upper kingdom, which has seriously violated the status of a country. The behavior boundaries and virtues of the vassal state are really disobedience. And when the Bangkok Dynasty was established in the past, it openly killed Zheng Zhao (Zheng Xin), the kingdom of the Thonburi Dynasty who was born in China. Later, he pretended to be the younger brother of Zheng Xin Defrauding China of granting the canonization is an act of wrongdoing, and the Republic of China refuses to recognize the legitimacy of the Bangkok Dynasty."

"In view of the fact that the Bangkok Dynasty stole the power of the Thonburi Dynasty and rebelled against the country and committed rebellion, the Republic of China decided to send the king to punish it." [

As Yi Weijun's voice fell, the reporters below suddenly became commotion and uproar.

"Excuse me, is China going to annex Siam?" At this moment, a French reporter stood up and asked.

"The so-called annexation or not, the sovereignty of Siam originally belongs to China. China is only sanctioning shameful thieves." Yi Weijun replied in a deep voice.

"Then what is the extent of China's sanctions on Siam?"

"This is under consideration."

Yi Weijun did not disclose this, whether he directly abolished the feudal kingdom.Whether another Siamese government should be established is yet to be determined.

"So does it mean that China has declared war on Siam?" another reporter asked.

"As a vassal state of China, Siam is not qualified for China to declare war on it." Yi Weijun said seriously.

……

The diplomatic press conference of the Republic of China shocked the Bangkok Dynasty of Siam, and it also shocked the world.

The whole world can see that the rising Asian hegemon no longer allows the existence of hostile forces in Asia. At the same time, China is gradually restoring the ancient China's vassal state.

The three kingdoms of North Korea, Vietnam, and Ryukyu were rescued by China one after another. From this, many countries saw that the Republic of China did not simply annex these dependent countries.

At the same time, China also added an Indonesian South China country as a subsidiary country, which is a country controlled by the Chinese.

The Philippines is directly included in the territory of China.

Japan was the most unlucky. After the defeat, it became a vassal state of China again. However, because it had invaded China before, the vassal state of Japan suffered extremely harsh conditions, and its status among the vassal states of China was also the lowest.

Now it's Siam's turn.

Siam, which had undergone the Meiji Restoration similar to Japan, was unwilling to surrender to China, which was also the main reason for the outbreak of the war.

Siam's ignorance of current affairs is also amazing.

China has stated that it will impose sanctions on Siam instead of declaring war, but the meaning is different from declaring war.

Before the outbreak of the war, major Chinese newspapers also focused on Siam’s anti-Chinese policy. After the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the sanctions against Siam, the major newspapers reported various situations in Siam at length. Including the question of the legitimacy of the Bangkok dynasty of Siam.

This also aroused the indignation of the Chinese people, who supported the military to impose sanctions on Siam.

However, after the sanctions against Siam were announced, the people of the whole country were still very calm while supporting them. Even Japan and the United States were beaten down. What kind of waves can a little Siam make? [

Moreover, Siam is still sticking to China's territory, and there is no need for any landing battle to fight Siam.

The tragedy of Siam is doomed.

At this time, Siam was a country with a fairly good economy, especially Siam had a large area of ​​arable land, which made Siam develop by using rice.

At the same time, although domestic minerals in Siam are monopolized by Europe and the United States.But these activities are still paying taxes to the Siamese government.

In addition, the Chinese opened factories such as power plants, rice mills, canning factories, textile factories, and cement factories in Siam, which gave Thailand a taste of prosperity.

At this time, Siam is just a piece of fat in Jiang Yu's eyes.

What China lacks is agricultural resources. After all, there are [-] million people to support. Although arable land is enough to grow food, a variety of economic crops is not enough.

By conquering Siam, a huge commercial grain production base can be established there, thereby freeing up more land in the country for growing cash crops.

……

Bangkok, inside the palace.

King Rama VI looked in horror at the news from China that China had announced military sanctions against Siam.This frightened him and quickly summoned the British and French ambassadors.

But to Rama VI's despair, the French ambassador directly refused to be present on the grounds of being ill, and the British ambassador then also excused being ill.

This moment.Only then did King Rama VI realize that he had been tricked.

At this time, the British and French ambassadors were worried and gloated at the same time.

They did play a trick on Rama VI. On the Siam issue, Britain and France reached an agreement with China when they mediated the Sino-US war before.

in the agreement.Both countries recognized Siam as a vassal state of China.

It is equivalent to saying that Siam has been sold long ago.

But Britain and France were not too reconciled, so they played Rama VI secretly, so that China could not take Siam so smoothly.

The British ambassador was worried. Originally, Siam was a buffer state for the British and French colonies, but with France's withdrawal from the Indochina Peninsula, this balance was destroyed.

Once China annexed Siam.Then it will directly border on the British Burma.

But even if China doesn't win Siam, China's Yunnan Province itself borders the British colony of Burma, not to mention the fact that Britain has ceded 23 square kilometers of Burma's land to China.

Even the colonies were cut off.Siam still wants to be alone?

However, in order to disgust China, the British ambassador suggested to Rama VI that Rama VI should go into exile in the UK, and at the same time deposit Siam's gold in the British bank.

It's just that Rama VI has not yet started to act, but China has acted.

In the early morning of March 3th.The sun is rising, the sky is high and the clouds are light.It was an excellent weather, and the Chinese fish fleet flew to the Gulf of Thailand and attacked the Siamese navy.

Siam also established a navy, but the scale is not very large, and there are fewer advanced battleships.

The Siamese navy was not mentally prepared at all. It was torpedoed by the Chinese Air Force and suffered heavy losses. Only three battleships sank into the port.

The Chinese Navy, which followed the Chinese Air Force into the Gulf of Thailand, did not scold the Air Force for being immoral, and would have to compete with the Navy for this bit of mosquito meat.

It is China's newly formed Nanyang Fleet that entered the Gulf of Thailand this time.

At this time, the Chinese Navy has three fleets, one is the Pacific Fleet, the other is the Nanyang Fleet, and the other is the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Since the Chinese Navy has focused on Nanyang, the Nanyang Fleet separated from the East China Fleet is the strongest, with three advanced battleships.

However, the current status of the Chinese navy is indeed very embarrassing. It was hard to meet the Siamese navy, but it was snatched by the air force.

Except for the submarine force, the strength of surface ships is completely half-dead.

But blocking the coastline of Siam is enough.

Just as the Chinese Navy entered the Gulf of Siam, the Chinese Air Force dispatched again.

Those were hundreds of Giant Bird 1 transport planes. Amidst the roaring roar, these Giant Bird transport planes flew over the suburbs of Bangkok, and the paratroopers jumped off the plane one by one.

The airborne division brigade has made its grand debut.

This is the world's first airborne operation, and it is also China's first "leapfrog tactic". The army jumped directly from the capital of Siam to Bangkok.

After the airborne brigade airborne, a lot of weapons and medicines were also airborne on the plane.

The airborne paratroopers quickly assembled and began to pick up weapons and medicines, and then quickly built a line of defense.

At this time, there were still five divisions in Bangkok with more than 6 troops. After discovering that the Chinese army had suddenly landed in Bangkok, King Rama VI was even more frightened.

"Your Majesty, now we can only try to eliminate a group of enemies first, and then negotiate terms with China." King Rama VI's Minister of War hastily suggested to King Rama VI.

So Rama VI desperately ordered the army to immediately destroy the airborne Chinese airborne brigade.

……

10 o'clock in the morning.The Siamese Army launched an attack on the airborne Chinese airborne brigade with five divisions, and the artillery roared and smashed towards the airborne brigade's position.

Since the positions built were only civil structures, some Chinese soldiers were killed by the shells during the shelling, but the accuracy of the Siamese artillery was obviously not very high.

After only the third round of artillery fire, there was suddenly a sharp whistling sound from behind the Siam Army artillery position.

boom boom boom...

Huge cannons hit the Siamese artillery position one by one, covering the entire artillery position in a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, the Siamese artillery position had become potholed, with terrifying pits scattered all over the position.Some of them had been blown out of shape, those cannons were also blown into twists, and many of them were blown into the air and smashed down hard.

This kind of destructive power is simply caused by small-caliber artillery.It was completely a masterpiece made by the navy's large-caliber naval guns.

That is a caliber naval gun, and a caliber naval gun. Don't expect any living things to survive within a radius of [-] meters with one shot.

Especially for those artillerymen who don't have any fortifications, a large number of people will die with one shot.

Half a minute later, the second round of shelling struck again.However, Siam's artillery positions have long been destroyed, but the navy still carried out two rounds of shelling.

After two rounds of shelling, basically no living things were seen on the Siamese artillery positions.

The five Siamese army divisions were stunned and terrified.

But the order from above made them attack the positions of the Chinese Airborne Brigade, coupled with the so-called sense of responsibility to protect Bangkok, after the two infantry divisions lost their artillery fire.Still launched an attack on the position of the airborne brigade.

Although the Siam Army at this time has undergone several years of reforms and has certain modern elements, the object of study is the previous intensive charge mode.

Siamese soldiers carried shabby bolt-action rifles.rushed to the position of the airborne brigade.

Strangely, the airborne brigade on the opposite side did not open fire on the Siamese soldiers who came within range.

This boosted the morale of the Siamese soldiers, and their feet moved faster. When they were about to approach the barbed wire fence pulled up by the airborne brigade, they launched a charge with hp.Shouting and rushing towards the position of the airborne brigade.

"Fire." Zhao Lan, commander of the airborne brigade, immediately ordered to open fire.

The machine guns arranged on both sides fired instantly, forming a terrifying crossfire.The seed was sprayed out like a pour.

A one-sided massacre began.

Pieces of Siamese soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and many of them were swept to the ground before they could even scream.

There were also many unlucky ghosts who were shot in the arms and thighs, but they were basically useless after being hit by the machine gun.

The sound of machine guns filled the eardrums, and the machine gunners of the airborne brigade quickly wiped out the vital forces of the Siamese Army with extremely efficient crossfire.

Through cross-fire shooting, the machine gunner doesn't need to aim at all, and just sweeps across densely packed enemies. Sometimes one bullet can even hit three enemies, and it is very common for one bullet to hit two enemies.

And if the machine gun is placed on the front, then the efficiency will be much lower, and you have to aim it once you hit it.

But there was no lack of firepower on the front. After Liu Jinglong gave the order to fire, the paratroopers on the ground also took the 03-type rifles and pulled the triggers on those Siamese soldiers who slipped through the net.

The Type 03 rifle is the M1 Garand rifle that was pirated by Jiang Yu in advance. It has eight rounds and can be fired by pulling the trigger without pulling the bolt.

The machine gunners did not shoot at the fish that slipped through the net, but shot at the place with the most people, and the fish that slipped through the net were handed over to the infantry.

There are a large number of infantry in the front, and they have enough energy to aim. In addition, the 03-type rifle has a fast rate of fire, and it directly shoots a dense firepower net. fell to the ground.

The two Siamese division commanders behind were shocked and looked at the fierce firepower in disbelief.

With more than 6 people, besieging a 6000-person airborne brigade is so difficult.

However, the Siamese Army was determined to wipe out the Chinese airborne brigade in Bangkok, and Siamese soldiers flocked to the airborne brigade's position like a tide.

And this time they learned their lesson and began to besiege the Chinese Airborne Brigade from three sides.

The airborne brigade relied on a small hill to set up a position. The terrain was not dangerous, but fortunately there were obstacles in the back, so they would not be attacked from the front or back. However, the siege from three sides was not so easy to deal with.

The machine gunner pulled the trigger frantically, sweeping down a whole bunch of Siamese infantry, but there were too many Siamese infantry.

"Brigadier, call the navy and air force to strike! If we continue to fight like this, our medicine will only last for one day." Liu Zheng, the deputy brigade commander, looked at the situation and was a little worried. come up.

Zhao Lan smoked a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, grinned and said, "Don't worry, the air force and navy have been called to strike, so what are we going to fight? These Siamese are not so fearless, and one day is enough."

Although Liu Zheng was a little worried, Zhao Lan's words made him relax a lot.He had just graduated from a military academy, and although he had a stronger awareness of the coordination of arms than Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan had participated in the Sino-Japanese War and had stood out from the ranks of junior officers, so he had much more battlefield experience than him.

At this time, the Siamese rushed up from three sides, and Zhao Lan immediately ordered: "Withdraw the flanking machine gunners, we shrink the defense line, and the infantry prepare their submachine guns, and we will give them a big surprise later."

"Yes."

After the order was issued, the flanking machine gunners withdrew with their machine guns in their hands. As soon as the flanking crossfire was cut off, the Siamese infantrymen rushed to the barbed wire fence smoothly.
