Chapter 202 A small place, creating a myth (first update, please subscribe)
  Siam,

In July, Siam was in a state of turmoil. The Japanese troops who retreated from Burma to Siam deployed defense lines on the Thai-Burmese border in preparation to block the Allied attack. At the same time, they also turned against visitors in Siam and directly confiscated food to sustain themselves. They even asked the Thai army to cooperate with them in defending the Allies, and provide supplies to the Japanese army to support the Japanese army's operations.

In this regard, although its Prime Minister Kuan Apaiwang wanted to resist, he did not dare to offend the Japanese army, lest the Japanese army would be angry and march south to Bangkok. Therefore, they had to agree to provide supplies to the Japanese army. In response, the Allies responded by increasing their bombing of Bangkok and other places.

On July 7, more than 2 Allied bombers bombed many Siamese cities, including Bangkok and Chiang Mai, in the hope of using bombing to promote defections within Siam.

In fact, "find another 'Badoglio'" became a political slogan in Siam as early as last year, which directly led to Phibun's downfall, and since the beginning of the year, more and more people have begun to go on strike , uprisings broke out one after another in various places.

Why is anti-Japanese sentiment so high in Siam? In the final analysis... it is the blood of descendants of Yan and Huang that flows in the veins of many Siamese people.

"In today's Siam, the most influential politician is the anti-Japanese Billy Phanonrong. Even though his name is Siamese, his Chinese name is Chen Jiaxiang. His father is a Chinese businessman and his ancestral home is Chenghaihua, Guangdong. town, and his mother is Siamese. And the vast majority of members of the so-called "Free Thai Movement" are actually our compatriots."

In the official residence of the Chief Executive in Sandakan, Chen Cang looked at the famous Boss Li in front of him and said respectfully.

"Currently, there are 13 guerrilla groups in Siam's underground resistance movement trained by American officers, and 11 guerrilla groups trained by British officers. Each force has at least 500 people. In addition, there are many guerrilla groups who are not trained by American and British officers. Guerrillas. But..."

Chen Cang said proudly.

"These guerrillas are all directly related to us! Including those trained by British and American officers. After all, we are all Chinese."

Chen Cang flew directly from Guangxi to Sandakan. His purpose of coming here was to cooperate with Li Nian's Siam operation.

In order to open up the land transportation line between the country and Borneo, Li Yi'an specifically inquired about it in the Allied Intelligence Department. Unexpectedly, after inquiring, he found that Siam's resistance was inextricably linked to the country.

Thinking about it, during the entire Pacific War, only overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia resisted Japan. The locals basically regarded the Japanese as liberators. Although Siam was an independent country, the Siamese did not resist the Japanese occupation of Southeast Asia. They felt that they Getting rid of the Western colonial rulers was a good thing for Siam, which resulted in only Chinese resisting Japan in that place.

So he got in touch with the country through his uncle and expressed his willingness to fund their operations in Siam. The two sides hit it off immediately, and then Chen Cang's trip to Sandakan began. Even the plane was sent by Li Yi'an. of.

It has to be said that although the SM75 aircraft made in Italy does not look like much, its long-distance navigation performance is absolutely top-notch. If there were not too few aircraft, Li Yian even planned to solve the labor problem through air transportation.

"So, we have formulated a plan for the August uprising. According to the plan, the uprising will be launched in multiple cities at the same time. Eventually, the rebel army will attack Bangkok..."

When Chen Cang introduced the uprising plan they had formulated, Li Yian did not care about the details, but asked rhetorically.

"Mr. Chen, is this it?"

"what?"

Chen Cang said doubtfully.

"I mean, is your plan to launch an uprising?"

"Yes, the pro-Japanese regime was overthrown through the uprising, and then Billy Panonrong will establish a pro-Allied regime. In this way, the situation in Nanyang will definitely change greatly. When the Allied forces regain Malaysia, Chief Lee will After the offensive is carried out in Surabaya and other places, the complete liberation of Nanyang is just around the corner."

Chen Cang didn't seem to understand what the other party meant. He came here because the other party said he could fund their operations in Siam, and the amount of funding was no less than 100 million pounds. Although the pound sterling is not as strong as the US dollar, it is worth four dollars. A huge sum of more than one million US dollars, and in Siam, pounds can also be circulated. After all, the British Empire still has a great influence in Southeast Asia, and Malaysia is close at hand.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Li Yian shook his head and said.

"Just now, Mr. Chen, you also said that although those guerrillas are in the name of the "Free Thai Movement", they are actually almost all overseas Chinese. Why are they anti-Japanese? Because they are Chinese, and in Nanyang, only Chinese people can Resisting the Japanese invasion is a well-known fact... But Mr. Chen, what I want to ask about is the future, the future!"

Staring at Chen Cang, Li Yian asked.

"The overseas Chinese shed blood, what do they get? Mr. Chen."

"get something?"

Chen Cang was stunned and said directly.

"They drove the Japanese devils out. This will help the overall situation of the domestic war of resistance. Mr. Li does not know that the country has already launched a counter-offensive in Guangdong and Guangxi. If Siam launches an uprising, the Japanese soldiers stationed in French Central and South China will not dare to act rashly. , the overall situation..."

, when he mentioned French Central South, Li Yian raised his eyebrows. After the war is over, how will his identity be resolved?

After all, he has always claimed that he once lived in Saigon.

Even if my current status prevents me from thinking about my identity!

But a suitable identity is also needed to explain everything. After all, no one appears out of thin air. This problem needs to be solved after all!
  But this thought only passed by for a moment, and then Li Yian said.

"The overall situation is important, but the interests of overseas Chinese cannot be sacrificed. Mr. Chen, our ancestors have pioneered Southeast Asia for two thousand years. They are said to be outsiders, but in fact they are no different from the local indigenous people. In the case of Siam, the current population of immigrants from the north is 231.5 million, accounting for about 11.3% of the total population of Siam, and the "hidden Chinese" who have the same ancestry as us account for more than 40% of its domestic population. Adding the two together, it is about 51% to 55% . In the past, these people were unwilling to admit or hide their identities due to Siamese official suppression. If we can force Siam to change its suppression of us after launching an uprising, we will undoubtedly create a country of ours!"

too many people!
  This is of course a means for the ruler to maintain his rule. Unlike the massacre of local monkeys in Indonesia later, the ultimate goal of Rama VI was to force immigrants to actively integrate into Siam through exclusion, which is an assimilation policy.

"our country!"

Chen Cang was startled by these four words. He looked out the window and said.

"You mean, you want to turn Siam into a place like North Borneo? A place where we are the masters?"

"Correct!"

Li Yian nodded and said.

"That's where we are the masters, where the Chinese dominate a country and fight against these people. Our people donate money and lives. They deserve to be rewarded. If you want to launch an uprising in Siam, I can provide funds and weapons. If necessary, I can even send bombers to bomb military camps in Bangkok. However, we must change Siam’s discrimination and rejection of us. What we need is a Siam that belongs to us.”

A Siam that belongs to us!

Although Li Yian's words sounded shocking, these simple words made Chen Cang feel a little excited. What made him even more excited was Li Yian's next sentence.

"Mr. Chen, I have already created a country here. How about Mr. Chen, let's join hands and create another miracle!"
