Expedition to Europe
Chapter 779 Excitement
In fact, it is not just Leotai, including Julie and Micha, who can see Girardine's attachment to Qin Zhiyuan.
However, in Qin Zhiyuan's heart, he really has no extravagant thoughts about Girardine. Just like the relationship between Girardine and Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan treats Girardine as his own daughter. Qin Zhiyuan still has some ethics.
Speaking of morality, this also varies from person to person. Many times, Qin Zhiyuan does not seem to be a moral person, and even a barbarian, especially during the war.
"Rama VI, if he really wants to surrender, how will you deal with him?" Leotai used the word "deal with" without any embarrassment.
Leotai is not a kind person either. In fact, in this world, kind people will never survive. Competition is everywhere between countries and between people. If there is no sense of competition, then sooner or later you will be eliminated by society, and then you can only hope that others will be kinder.
"The best result is the same as Taisho." Qin Zhiyuan did not say what the worst result is. This is self-evident and does not need to be explained in detail.
"Speaking of Taisho, are you really not going to let him go?" Leotai was still a little curious about Qin Zhiyuan.
Ever since Qin Zhiyuan brought Emperor Taisho to Lanfang, almost every day there were Japanese begging in front of the palace of Penglai Island, begging Qin Zhiyuan to let Taisho's family return to Japan.
This is absolutely impossible. Qin Zhiyuan will not let the tiger go back to the mountain, so the ending of Taisho's family is destined to be tragic, there is no doubt about this.
"Why do you want to let it go? In fact, I am very curious. You have occupied so many colonies all over the world, and you have never thought about managing them well, even if it is just a country or an island?" Qin Zhiyuan answered irrelevantly and forcibly pulled the topic away from Taisho.
"We have been managing them well, okay? Our government has always invested the most in all colonies. France is not just asking for things but not giving." Leotai was dissatisfied with Qin Zhiyuan's understanding. Leotai himself spent most of his time in the colonies after joining the army. Leotai knew the situation of the colonies very well.
"That's far from enough. You are not operating at all, you are just maintaining the situation. One day, this situation will not be able to be maintained. What will you do then? Kill everyone?" Qin Zhiyuan's mouth showed sarcasm again.
This is not the first time that Qin Zhiyuan has mentioned this matter to the French. When visiting France, Qin Zhiyuan has expressed this idea to different people, including Millerand, Poincaré, and even Deschanel who has stepped down.
Unfortunately, Qin Zhiyuan's opinions were not taken seriously, and the French did not think there was anything wrong with their approach.
"It is not easy to maintain the current situation-" Lyautey knew the danger of the situation, but in Lyautey's position, Lyautey was powerless unless Lyautey ran for the French presidency.
Even if Lyautey was successfully elected, it would be difficult for Lyautey to change the status quo. The French government looks democratic and open, but in fact it is also extremely rigid. People have become accustomed to the current way of social operation, and it is not easy to make them change.
"If I were you, I would throw all the Annan people to Laos, so that at least a stable Annan can be guaranteed." Qin Zhiyuan gave Lyaute an idea, but this idea was not very good, and it was a bit like a private affair.
"Hehe - don't think I don't know what you are thinking, just do your job. You hired a large number of people from Annan, immigrated from Annan, and tempted the Annan people to change their nationality. I didn't stop you. You should know what it means." Lyaute was not stupid, and he didn't fall for Qin Zhiyuan's trick at all.
Lan Fang did continue to immigrate from Annan. On the one hand, it was because Lan Fang needed a large number of people, and on the other hand, it was because the Chinese had a greater influence on the Annan people. Relatively speaking, in the whole Southeast Asia, the Annan people are closer to the Chinese.
The relationship between the Annan people and the Chinese now is different from that in the 21st century, because there was no "self-defense counterattack", so the relationship between the Chinese and the Annan people is very good. Even during the World War, the Chinese led by Qin Zhiyuan fought side by side with the Annan people, which laid the foundation for Lan Fang's large-scale immigration from Annan.
It seems that Leotai has also studied the way Lan Fang treats colonies, so he does not reject the outflow of Annan people. Although this temporarily damages the interests of France to a certain extent, it is not necessarily a bad thing in the long run.
Qin Zhiyuan also stopped at the point and did not want to give Leotai more hints. He raised his hand and called Dong Xingxiu who was waiting on the side: "Send a telegram to Wu Shenghou, the troops will speed up to the north, and take Phitsanulok tomorrow to form a line with Gan Biheng."
Although the Lan Fang army has made rapid progress, Qin Zhiyuan is still not satisfied. Qin Zhiyuan wants to occupy more Siamese territory before the British react, so that he can take more initiative in the distribution of interests after the war.
"You are such a greedy guy!" Leotai was very dissatisfied with Qin Zhiyuan's arrangement. At present, the French army's progress is unfavorable and it is impossible to maintain the balance of the front line with Lan Fang. Therefore, Leotai is also powerless against Qin Zhiyuan's radicalism.
"Compared with you, I am kind enough!" Qin Zhiyuan does not think he is greedy and nails the French to the pillar of shame.
"Tell Henry that if he fails to capture Khon Kaen before sunrise tomorrow, he'd better prepare to go to Madagascar!" Lyautey was also radical and made higher demands on his subordinates.
Khon Kaen is located in the northeast of Bangkok, in the core area. The French encountered increasing resistance in Khon Kaen, and Khon Kaen has become a stumbling block on Leo Thai's way forward.
Looking carefully at the map of Thailand, Buriram, Ubon Ratchathani, and Udon Thani form a huge salient. In the plan of Qin Zhiyuan and Leo Thai, this is the area responsible for French Indochina. If there is no accident, it will be part of French Indochina in the future. Khon Kaen is in the center of this area. If Khon Kaen is not taken, Leo Thai's troops will not be able to advance to northern Thailand, and will be passive in the distribution of interests after the war.
Just when Leo Thai and Qin Zhiyuan were dividing the territory again, Zheng Lingfeng and his marines had arrived at the edge of Bangkok.
Like the 21st century, Bangkok is the capital of Siam. It is located next to the Gulf of Siam, surrounded by mountains and water, and it is indeed a good place.
Siam is a standard agricultural country, and there is not much industrial infrastructure in the country, so the environment in Siam is also quite good. Although there are still many areas to be developed, the houses are not very tall and look a bit shabby, but they have a unique primitive flavor. If you ignore the living facilities here, it is comparable to Lan Fang’s homeland. At least the air quality is really good.
Zheng Lingfeng was not in the mood to pay attention to the PM2.5 content in Siam’s air. Standing on a high ground outside Bangkok, he used a telescope to observe Bangkok’s city defense facilities.
In this era, Bangkok still had city walls, and even the Chao Phraya River that runs through Bangkok had tall water gates. Because of the joint attack of Lan Fang and France, Bangkok was already in a state of emergency at this time. Standing in Zheng Lingfeng’s position, he could clearly see the Siamese soldiers hiding behind the battlements of the city wall.
"About three hours ago, a Siamese army of nearly a thousand people launched a tentative attack on us. The Siamese's actions were not very resolute. We didn't even use artillery. We just used machine guns to fire a few bursts, and those Siamese soldiers scattered." Deputy Battalion Commander Cui Lianggong reported beside Zheng Lingfeng, with a very relaxed expression, without any sense of urgency about the upcoming war.
The original text is in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!
Zheng Lingfeng has seen the quality of the Siamese army. On the way from Pado to Bangkok, Zheng Lingfeng defeated at least three Siamese army blocks, the largest of which had nearly a thousand people.
Although the number of people was about ten times that of Zheng Lingfeng's troops, those Siamese troops did not show the combat effectiveness that matched the number of people. Zheng Lingfeng and his men did not encounter any troubles. The longest battle did not exceed half an hour. They dealt with those Siamese smoothly and arrived in Bangkok smoothly to meet up with the large army led by Cui Lianggong.
"It's not easy to be resolute with their single-shot rifles." Zheng Lingfeng said disdainfully, but he was still observing carefully.
When two armies confront each other, it is not easy to charge against the bullets that "whiz" past your ears and the painful wailing and groaning of your comrades. If the troops have not been strictly trained, such a charge will easily cause chaos.
The training level of the Siamese army is indeed not very good. Not only do they not have advanced weapons, but they also lack courage and determination. Such troops cannot be said to have any combat effectiveness.
"Your Majesty, why do you want to keep Bangkok? I guess we only need one charge to take Bangkok down. Those chickens and dogs will not pose any threat to us." Cui Lianggong was a little itchy, and his eyes looking at Bangkok were very burning.
"What are we fighting for? We are just a few people, and there are only more than 1,000 of us on the 4-5 km defense line. Tell me how we can take down a city with a population of 500,000 with just these few people?" Zheng Lingfeng didn't want to get caught up in the vast ocean of people's war, so it was better to just follow the siege order.
The Lanfang army was heading north, and Griff had no time to turn back and take Bangkok. The best way was to trap Rama VI and wait for him to surrender.
There were a large number of historical buildings in Bangkok. Qin Zhiyuan didn't want the artillery fire to destroy the city, so it was better to "peacefully liberate" it, so that in the future tourism might become Bangkok's city card, rather than the androgynous transvestite.
"Let's move forward step by step, I don't believe these Siamese can withstand our attack." Cui Lianggong was still unwilling, saying that one Lanfang soldier could definitely beat 500 Siamese.
"The city gate is open, get ready for battle!" Zheng Lingfeng suddenly put down the telescope in his hand and loudly issued a battle order.
An army swarmed out of the city gate, and it looked like there were more than 10,000 of them.
Zheng Lingfeng was really excited that he could finally fight a battle.
