Expedition to Europe

Siam was under the rule of the Cherik Dynasty at this time. The current king, Rama VI, was still doing well. Although he was compromising externally and struggling to survive between Britain and France, he was also working hard internally. He even started to implement compulsory education and tried his best to improve the quality of the people in order to cope with the increasingly dangerous international situation.

In fact, all the dangers of Siam came from Lan Fang.

The current territory of Siam is still relatively large, at least larger than that of Thailand in the future. Siam's territory includes not only Thailand, but also Myanmar and Cambodia. It is the only country in Southeast Asia that has not become a colony.

As a buffer zone between Britain and France, the British and the French will not take the initiative to attack Siam, so Lan Fang is the only threat to Siam.

When Lan Fang was founded, King Rama VI did not realize that Lan Fang would be as strong as it is now, so he did not even attend Qin Zhiyuan's enthronement ceremony. By the time Lan Fang defeated Japan and became the largest "power" in Asia, it was too late for Rama VI to get along with Qin Zhiyuan. Although Rama VI expressed his desire to visit Lan Fang several times, he had never been invited by the Lan Fang Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Even Qin Zhiyuan and the two prime ministers Huang Bohan and Lu Zhengxiang had never visited Siam, which really made Rama VI sleepless.

He couldn't be at ease. Staying next to the "tiger" of Lan Fang, even the British and French could feel the crisis, not to mention the Siamese.

In fact, the political situation in Siam is still quite stable, but no matter in the East or the West, no matter how stable the political situation is, there will always be some people who are unwilling to be lonely and want to take advantage of the situation and do something. Siam is now facing such a dilemma.

Gao Hongshi's work is still very efficient. Just before Qin Zhiyuan and Leo Tai decided to start with Siam, Gao Hongshi had already begun to draw people from the Lan Fang National Security Bureau to Siam for preliminary work, and now it comes in handy.

Lan Fang also has a spokesperson in Siam. With the support of Gao Hongshi, General Somchai, the real power in Siam, has become the second most important person in Siam. Since last year, he has been preparing to overthrow the "dictatorship" of Rama VI.

"Dictatorship" is really a panacea.

Lan Fang and Siam are actually the same political system, both are centralized countries. In Lan Fang, this is a manifestation of government orders, and in Siam, this is a symbol of old-fashioned and pedantic. It must be overthrown to meet the wishes of all citizens.

Well, the citizens of Siam are also easily represented, even when the citizens are completely unaware.

Although there are internal responses, Qin Zhiyuan is still not careless, so he prepared enough troops to intervene in the civil strife in Siam at any time.

"The 2nd and 13th Infantry Divisions will go to Deso tomorrow. As long as the opportunity arises, they will launch an attack on Siam at any time. At the same time, the second echelon is the 4th and 18th Divisions. If the 2nd and 13th Divisions do not progress well, the 4th and 18th Divisions will enter Siam from Rong City, and while opening up the second battlefield, divide Siam into two sections, north and south." Qin Zhiyuan is ambitious. He is ready to complete his goal in one battle and completely defeat the Siamese.

"I can organize a transport team to help you transport supplies, that's all. Now my troops have no combat experience at all, so it is a good choice to focus on Lan Fang soldiers." Leotai's calculations are very shrewd.

Probably since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the King of Siam has not stopped the development of the army. Of course, this strength is far from that of the Lan Fang Army, so Qin Zhiyuan is really not afraid, and he wants to kill the Siamese with a raised hand.

"Bangkok is less than 300 kilometers away from Dessou. If our cars have enough room to play, the vanguard of the troops will probably arrive in Bangkok at night, and then we will launch this war to destroy the country." Qin Zhiyuan is confident, much more confident than Leotai.

"Tell me, how do you plan to distribute the benefits?" Leotai wanted to play a trick.

"It depends on how much you invest. It's just like the two of us setting up a joint-stock company. The more you invest, the more firepower you will get, otherwise it will be less." Qin Zhiyuan didn't plan to open a back door, so he blocked Leotai tightly in one sentence.

"It shouldn't be strength, it should be role. Even if you send all the Lan Fang troops here, it depends on how much role they play. And I think because Dessou is now in France, we should get more." Leotai still tried his best to fight for it. He couldn't show his style at this time.

For Lan Fang, Annan was a French colony, but for Lyautey, a Frenchman, Annan was an inseparable part of France. What colonies or not were all floating clouds. All members of the colonies had to try their best to integrate into the big family of France to be worthy of the identity of "French".

"So should we give the Republic of China another share?" Qin Zhiyuan disagreed with Lyautey's idea.

The so-called geographical advantage can indeed be effective in many cases, but in today's rapidly developing science and technology, warships in the ocean never stop, the air force can fly thousands of miles in an instant, and even the army has begun to use machinery in large quantities. The role of "geographical advantage" is becoming less and less obvious. What's the use of geographical advantages? It can't withstand the bombardment of aerial bombs, naval guns and tank guns.

In fact, the Republic of China is also very close to Siam, so when Lyautey talked about geographical advantages, Qin Zhiyuan also involved the Republic of China, anyway, to ensure that Lan Fang can get enough benefits in this war of annihilation.

"I don't think so. The Republic of China can't play a big role. Even if they participate, they can only undertake logistics tasks at most-" Except for the Lan Fang people, it can be said that Lyautey looks down on all Chinese people. He is also a damn "racist".

"As you said just now, your troops may not be able to undertake combat missions, so your troops can only reflect their value in logistics." Qin Zhiyuan looked down on the troops under Lyautey.

It can be said that up to now, Annan's military potential has been almost tapped. During Bastien's tenure, Lan Fang unscrupulously developed immigrants from Annan, and at the same time, borrowed the names of construction workers and joining the Foreign Legion to deceive a large number of Annan people to go to Lan Fang to find a meal, and these people have basically joined the Lan Fang nationality.

These are all young and strong guys, much better than the old, weak and disabled people left in Annan, and their value is irreplaceable.

Just when Qin Zhiyuan and Lyautey were bargaining, Dong Xingxiu came over and whispered a few words in Qin Zhiyuan's ear.

Prince Basel finally launched the long-planned rebellion.

The reason why this rebellion broke out so early was actually entirely due to an accident.

Prince Basel had indeed been planning for a long time to "rebel". Before the rebellion, Prince Basel obtained the tacit consent of the French. At the same time, because he paid enough money, he got a troop from United Petroleum and placed it in Tunis City, preparing to be the main force of the coup.

Tunis City is still under the rule of King Mohammed. Even if Mohammed is unpopular, there are always some people loyal to Mohammed, and it is indeed a bit difficult for a troop of more than a thousand people to conceal their presence. Therefore, not long after Gu Xingbang and his men arrived in Tunis City, Mohammed discovered the existence of Gu Xingbang and his men.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

United Petroleum is indeed a big company, and has now grown into a giant. Even though Muhammad is the king of Tunisia, he still has to be cautious in front of United Petroleum.

So when he sent it to Gu Xingbang and his gang, although he had not yet determined the purpose of United Petroleum placing an army in Tunisia, Muhammad still keenly felt that it was a bit abnormal, so he immediately asked Chris of United Petroleum.

If there is no legitimate reason, the army of United Petroleum cannot enter Tunisia. This is the agreement reached between United Petroleum and Muhammad when it leased Djerba Island.

Chris would definitely not say that this army wanted to overthrow Muhammad's rule, and Chris did not have much intention to explain to Muhammad. Perhaps if Prince Basel made up his mind tomorrow, the Tunisia Palace would change hands the day after tomorrow. At this time, there is really nothing to talk about with Muhammad.

So Chris shamelessly used the "delay" method, neither admitting nor denying the existence of Gu Xingbang and his men, and did not give any response to Muhammad.

Muhammad was the king after all. When he could not get a response to his inquiry, Muhammad sent out the palace guards to attack Gu Xingbang and his men.

The palace guards were the only team in Muhammad's hands. Although there were nearly 10,000 people, their equipment was not very good. Many soldiers even used single-shot rifles, which could not be compared with the well-armed United Oil Army.

So the attack of the palace guards had no results.

Gu Xingbang was not a passive person. After defeating the palace guards, Gu Xingbang launched a counterattack at the right time. It was this counterattack that accidentally took control of the entire Tunis City, which was really surprising.

It was indeed an accident. You know, when Gu Xingbang and his men took over Tunisia, Prince Basel was still active in France to win more support. He never thought that Gu Xingbang and his men would take over the entire city so cleanly and capture Prince Basel's brother, the current king of Tunisia, Mohammed Nader.

At this point, it seems that Prince Basel has become the biggest winner, but in fact, the cunning French will not let Prince Basel get his wish, and this is exactly what Dong Xingxiu reported to Qin Zhiyuan.

"Republic? Haha——" After understanding the cause and effect, Qin Zhiyuan could only laugh.
