Agents of the Republic of China

Thailand is in a delicate state at this time.Before, Japan used Thailand to attack Malaya. The Phhibun regime in Thailand gained support from Japan during the Thai-French war. Although the Phhibun regime clearly felt Japan’s ambitions, it was forced by the aggressive momentum of the Japanese army , and had to temporarily agree to the Japanese request.The Japanese army took advantage of eastern Thailand, and after occupying Malaya, they began to delay the garrison in Thailand indefinitely, and there was no sign of retreating.After protracted negotiations, Thailand finally had no choice but to admit the status quo of the Japanese garrison, but at the same time also won some rights and interests. Shan State and Myanmar's Shan State were assigned to Thailand, and the Japanese army sent [-] troops to station in Thailand. The two countries are still allies in name.

But as time passed, the relationship between the Japanese army as the occupier and the occupied Thai people and the government became more and more tense.First of all, the Japanese army used prisoners of war and Thai laborers to build the Thailand-Myanmar Railway, causing tens of thousands of casualties. This incident made the anti-Japanese sentiment among the Thai people increasingly strong.Secondly, Thailand’s imports have always relied on Europe, especially Germany, but as the war progressed, shipping was gradually blocked, and Thailand had to rely on Japan for imported materials.In order to ensure sufficient strategic materials, Japan began to reduce the supply of materials to Thailand. Soon, there was a shortage of domestic products in Thailand, and prices soared, making domestic anti-Japanese sentiment increasingly high.Domestic conflicts have also become more and more extreme. People frequently clashed with military police and Japanese garrisons, and even gun battles broke out, which also caused the Japanese troops stationed in Thailand to change commanders several times within a year.

Thailand's ambassador to the United States, Bhamo, opposed the Phibun government's pro-Japanese policy and announced the establishment of the Free Thai Movement in Washington, while the anti-Japanese leader in Thailand was the royal prince Svasdhiva.

In the boycott of Japan, and Thailand itself has more than [-] well-equipped troops, the control of the Japanese army in Thailand is also very limited. The relationship between the two sides is in a very strange balance. Once a tiny weight is put down Going, it is very likely to arouse immeasurable conflicts between the two parties.In order to protect its own rights and interests, the Thai Phibun government also maintains close ties with Chongqing and the British and American governments. Even the city of Bangkok is full of British and American intelligence personnel, politicians, etc., and even the Chongqing government is still here. In order to ensure the stability of Thailand, the Japanese turned a blind eye to these actions.

After the end of the Tonggu War, the news of the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army spread to Thailand, which further strengthened the determination of the Thais to step on two boats, especially when the Japanese army had no choice but to deploy several divisions stationed in eastern Thailand to reinforce Myanmar. Thailand's military strength was suddenly reduced, which made the free Thai movement even more popular among the people.

Because of this, the Japanese garrison in Bangkok has been reduced by nearly one-third. Usually, the garrison conducts exercises near Bangkok from time to time to show their strength to the Phibun government and the people. However, in the past few days, Japanese soldiers have rarely stepped out of their The military camp, Bangkok has completely become the territory of the locals.

Today is the ninth day of the lunar new year and Dong Jiayi's 23rd birthday.After returning from Myanmar, Dong Jiayi has been recuperating at home, not interested in anything, coupled with a lot of fright, she fell ill as soon as she returned to Bangkok, and did not recover slowly until recently, especially after getting After hearing the news that Xiaopi came back from Yangon, Dong Jiayi's spirit recovered a lot.

But Lin Xiaotang didn't come back from Yangon for a day, so Dong Jiayi still couldn't let go of her heart. Thinking of her beloved still staying in that dangerous place, Dong Jiayi couldn't calm down no matter what.

The days passed day by day in this anxiety, but fortunately, there was no bad news, especially the news of Tong Gu Dasheng, which made Dong Jiayi heave a sigh of relief.

But the person in my heart never came back.

Dong Jiayi was listlessly leaning against the window sill, staring at the colorful flowers in the yard in a daze, not even noticing He Youjing bouncing upstairs.

He Youjing quietly leaned into Dong Jiayi's ear, "Who do you miss?"

Dong Jiayi was startled, turned around to see that it was her, and slapped her on the head angrily, "Why are you free today, didn't you go with Datou?"

He Youjing was lazy and bored, "Don't mention him, Huoyan and the others went to him to discuss something, I don't want to get involved in men's affairs."

He Youjing and Da Tou are already engaged.This time Lin Xiaotang insisted on not taking the big head to Burma for this reason. Although the status of the He family in Nanyang is not as good as that of the Dong family, and its influence is not as good as that of Tan Kah Kee's family, after all, it has developed in Nanyang for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted. One of the largest families among Thai Chinese, although Datou and He Youjing have already made a private decision for life, but when it comes to marriage matters, the elders in the family must nod.Therefore, Lin Xiaotang entrusted Dong Zhennan to recommend Datou to the He family early in the morning.Besides, the big head is now following Lin Xiaotang, who also belongs to the top management of the company, and belongs to the young, rich and promising star of hope. After the He family fully understands his background and assets, they readily agree to their marriage.

Today, I originally planned to accompany He Youjing to the streets to buy wedding supplies, but unexpectedly, early in the morning, Huoyan and others hurriedly brought people to the door, and after a few people murmured for a while, they went straight out The big head actually forgot to tell He Youjing in a hurry, and she couldn't help but secretly sulked for a while, and then thought of coming to Dong Jiayi.

While the two were talking, a servant came to report.The front yard was very lively. Several groups of guests came to the door. It seemed that they were not young. Dong Zhennan, the old man of the Dong family, had already welcomed them out in person.Regarding these things, Dong Jiayi still couldn't cheer up, so she just listened and didn't take it seriously.

It didn't take much effort and he had recovered from his injury, but Dong Jiacheng, who was still on crutches, ran to Dong Jiayi's yard in a hurry, with an unconcealable joy on his face, and a little surprised look on his face.

Seeing Dong Jiayi, she kept saying it was strange, and beckoned her sister to go to the front hall as soon as possible.

Dong Jiayi looked listless, "Brother, isn't it just that some guests have come? Dad, you and the second brother can receive them? I'm a girl's house, what do you want me to do in front?"

"Usually you don't have to go, but today you have to go, because all the guests who came here are here for you, can you, the birthday man, not go to say hello?" Dong Jiacheng explained.

"Come here for me?" Dong Jiayi's eyes widened in disbelief.

It turned out that many of the guests who came to the door early in the morning were leaders in Bangkok's political and business circles.It's not surprising that these people came to Dong's house, but what's strange is that they all came to visit early this morning as if they had made an appointment. The family marched forward to celebrate the birthday.

This move made Dong Zhennan, who came out to greet him in person, confused. He also knew all these people and had a lot of contact with them, but Dong Zhennan thought to himself that he didn't tell them about his daughter's birthday. Besides, Dong Jiayi was a junior to them after all, so it was a bit unbelievable that so many people celebrated Dong Jiayi's birthday with great fanfare.

Before he was overwhelmed, his confidant came to report that the Siamese Military Commissioner's Office of the Chongqing Nationalist Government in Bangkok also secretly sent people to give gifts, which turned out to be to celebrate Dong Jiayi's birthday.Dong Zhennan received the report and immediately led him to his study.The visitor didn't say much, he just introduced a few people who came here from Chongqing specially, and Dong Zhennan broke out in a cold sweat from this introduction.Among these people, there are representatives of the Expeditionary Army, representatives of the 93rd Division stationed on the Sino-Thailand border, representatives of the American agency in Chongqing, and representatives of the Three Youth League. Behind each of them is an important figure in the National Government What made Dong Zhennan dumbfounded was that they came all the way to celebrate Dong Jiayi's birthday.

Fortunately, these people were very low-key, said a few simple and polite words, conveyed their respective greetings, presented the gift list, and then hurriedly left. Dong Zhennan looked at the gift list in his hand, and a sudden blush appeared on his forehead. A layer of oil and sweat.

The weight of these gifts is not light!

Therefore, without knowing what happened, Dong Zhennan hurriedly asked Dong Jiacheng to go to the backyard to find Dong Jiayi. After all, she was the object of congratulations from the guests, and it was really unreasonable not to show up all the time.

There was no other way, so Dong Jiayi had no choice but to follow her elder brother to the front yard. Under the introduction of Dong Zhennan, she met the guests one by one, but before she could say anything, the servant outside the door rushed in to report, "Master, don't you?" Well, a team of Japanese soldiers has come from the outer gate!"

Dong Zhennan was taken aback, and even the guests were silent. Dong Zhennan thought about it quickly, and immediately ordered Dong Jiacheng to send all the guests away from the back door first. Today's matter can only be made up later. After all, we don't know the Japanese Coming to the door is a blessing or a curse, and we must not implicate the guests who come to celebrate.

After seeing off everyone, Dong Zhennan's expression immediately darkened, and he walked out the door with Dong Jiacheng and Dong Jiayi closely following.

At the gate stood a young Japanese officer, holding a box in his hand. Outside the gate were more than a dozen soldiers with live ammunition. Seeing someone coming out of the yard, the young officer walked into the gate, descended the steps, and asked loudly. : "Excuse me, who is Miss Dong Jiayi?"

Dong Zhennan frowned, and was about to step forward to answer, but Dong Jiayi took a step ahead, stepped out sideways, stood in front of Dong Zhennan, and replied, "I am, what can I do for you?"

The Japanese officer smiled, took a few steps forward, bowed to Dong Jiayi, and presented the box in front of Dong Jiayi with both hands, "Miss Dong, this is His Excellency Seiji Moriya, Chief of the General Staff of the Japanese Imperial Army Corps in Thailand." The order came to deliver gifts, and I wish Ms. Dong a happy birthday!"

This sentence stunned the three members of the Dong family on the spot, but the Japanese military officer didn't care at all, and put the box in the hand of the servant beside Dong Jiayi, bowed politely, turned and retreated.
