I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 507

Participating in the Soviet war did not hit China's local economy. On the contrary, the huge demand for the war and the huge wealth plundered from other countries stimulated further rapid growth of China's local economy. The same is true for Germany, and the situation in Germany is more serious than that in China. Ideal, because Germany's economic system is more complete than China's, its economic scale is larger than China's, and its economic level is more advanced than China's.

It’s like rolling a snowball. If the economic aggregate is a snowball, China’s snowball started rolling when it was the size of a ping-pong ball, while Germany’s snowball started rolling when it was the size of a basketball. The growth rate and growth rate are natural. Bigger and faster than China, Germany's national power and military power can be described as a raging fire and a blooming flower.

In the words of Dai Anguo, "Germany hardly needs time to prepare for a new war, because Germany's national strength allows the German army to fight a new war after fighting the Soviet Union, just like a marathon runner running 1000 meters and running Just like running 1000 meters, you don't need to rest, because you can run many 1000 meters in one breath.

We (China) can’t. The national strength of a country is like the physical strength of a person. We can only run 1000 meters. If we run another 1000 meters after running, we will definitely need to rest for a while.

In fact, the German war machine became more and more prosperous during the Soviet War. Ordnance products have been rising steadily, and the size of the army has been increasing. Digesting the results of the Soviet War did not delay Germany's immediate war against Britain and France. Germany was able to do two things with ease. Do it together".

In the original history, Germany originally went all the way west. After solving France, it planned to solve Britain, and the British air battle broke out. This air battle was Germany's attack on Britain, and the German Air Force launched the last large-scale attack on the British mainland during this period It happened on May 1941, 5. Just over a month later, on June 10, 1941, Germany launched the Soviet-German War. Before that, and at the same time, the German army went to southern Europe to sweep. The African Army was also sent to fight in North Africa. It can be seen that Germany had almost no "intermission time" between the two major wars of fighting against Britain and fighting against the Soviet Union.

This is determined by Germany's strong national strength, and China is hard to come by at this time.

The situation of Germany, Japan and China is as follows:

Germany: You can fight at any time, if you want to fight;

Japan: I have been ready for a long time, I want to fight a long time ago, it is best to fight now;

China: Wait a minute, not ready yet.

Obviously, China "drags back" Germany and Japan.

There is a problem here: why didn't Germany and Japan throw China away, Germany and Japan fought immediately, and then waited for China to be ready before joining while fighting?The biggest reason is: According to the internal treaties of the alliance countries, regarding the division of Southeast Asia and Australia, the north of the equator belongs to China, and the south of the equator belongs to Japan. Therefore, Japan really must fight from north to south without China. The north of the equator can only attack the south of the equator, and China is slow to do anything. Then, isn't the north of the equator that Japan fought to the north of the equator for nothing?Therefore, Japan has to wait anxiously for China to "slowly get ready."

For the next war, China wanted to use Japan as a shield, and Japan did not want to give China a chestnut from the fire, which caused the last moment of the war to be delayed.

Hitler, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro, Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi, Minister of War Yoshijiro Umezu, Minister of the Navy Kawako Shiro, Commander of the Navy Combined Fleet Commander Yamamoto 56, Speaker of the Privy Council and Chief of the Emperor's Bodyguard Suzuki Kantaro, etc. have asked Jiang Weiguo more than once: "When will China be ready for war?" In particular, Suzuki Kantaro asked Jiang Weiguo on behalf of Emperor Hirohito.

Jiang Weiguo replied eloquently: First, China needs to digest the results of the Soviet war to enrich its national strength and increase its military power. Second, the Chinese military needs time to carry out targeted training. China was basically responsible for the elimination of the remnants of the Soviet Union; in addition, Jiang Weiguo revealed to Hitler and the Japanese high-level: Many people in the high-level Chinese have felt satisfied and contented after the Soviet Union War, and do not want to fight again, so , the "hawks" headed by him need time to suppress those "doves" who are not enterprising and so on.

Although Hitler also wanted to start war against Britain and France earlier, he could still calm down and wait for China. Anyway, China only needs a few months, not three or five years. Waiting, it is good for Germany, and Germany can also The preparations are more adequate, but the Japanese can't hold back, because the Japanese really can't wait.

Although Japan divided up the Soviet Union with Germany and China, what Germany and China got was fat meat, and what Japan got was chicken ribs that were too bad to eat and discarded. At this time, "wait a minute", Germany and China are eating meat while Waiting, Japan is waiting while hungry, so naturally it can't stand it.

Therefore, under the planning of Ishihara Wanji and other Japanese high-level people with strategic vision and strategic minds, Japan began to "indirectly urge and even force China to go to war as soon as possible."

"What's going on in Thailand?" Chiang Kai-shek asked with a frown in the headquarters of the Military Commission in Wuhan.

Chen Cheng got up and replied: "Thailand's Luang Phibun Songkham government issued a statement the day before yesterday, requesting the conclusion of a military alliance treaty with Japan. The Japanese side has notified our country and Germany, claiming that 'this matter is important. Japan abides by the internal treaties of the allied countries and The spirit of cooperation will not decide alone, so inform the German and Chinese allies and decide together with the German and Chinese allies'!"

"Why did this Luang Phibun Songkham enter into a military alliance with Japan?" He Yingqin asked in bewilderment.

Yang Jie sneered: "This Luang Phibun Songkham was originally a pro-Japanese element, and after he took power, he wanted to exclude Chinese in Thailand. Now the East is the strongest in China and Japan. If he doesn't take refuge in Japan, why does he still take refuge in us? Can’t wait to settle accounts after the fall? The most hateful thing is that this Luang Phibun Songkham was originally from China, his ancestors were from Chaozhou, Guangdong, and his surname was 'Wu', but after he came to power in a foreign country, he persecuted the Chinese and overseas Chinese wantonly, it is simply wolf-hearted!"

Chiang Kai-shek frowned more and more: "What's the situation in Thailand?"

Chen Cheng narrated: "Thailand is a kingdom, currently under the rule of the Chakri Dynasty, the current king is Rama VIII, but the real power is not in the hands of the king, but in the hands of Luang Phibun Songkham.

It is ironic to say that Thailand was originally a traditional autocratic monarchy. After being invaded by Western powers in modern times, the royal family sent a group of outstanding young people to study in the West to learn advanced Western knowledge and culture. As a result, those young people not only learned After learning the advanced knowledge and culture of the West, he also learned the democratic political thought of the West. After returning to China, he not only failed to serve the royal family, but launched a coup, overthrew the autocratic monarchy, and established the so-called constitutional monarchy, reducing the Thai royal family to a display without real power. , the real power rests in the so-called democratic government. In fact, Thailand's democratic government is completely peddling.

For example, this Luang Phibun Somkham, he was one of those overseas students. After returning to China, he rebelled against the King of Thailand, and then climbed to power by himself, became the prime minister, monopolized the power, and became the dictator who replaced the king. After he came to power, He admires Japan very much, and actively learns from Japan. He believes that the most successful country in the East is Japan, which has successfully completed its transformation. "

"Anti-China while being pro-Japanese?" Xu Yongchang showed a trace of indignation.

Chen Cheng nodded: "Luang Phibun Songkham advocates the establishment of an economic system that belongs to the Thai people. However, as we all know, there are many overseas Chinese in Thailand. Because they are hard-working, smart and capable, there are many wealthy businessmen who occupy a dominant position in Thailand's economic field. They even monopolize Thailand's economic industry. Overseas Chinese in Thailand generally miss their motherland, and continuously invest the funds they earn from Thailand back to their motherland to support the construction and development of their motherland. Caused a lot of economic losses, the Luang Phibun Songkham government slandered the overseas Chinese in Thailand as "all moths of Thailand", "Chinese thieves who stole the wealth of the Thai people", "vampires planted by China in Thailand", "parasites occupied by magpie nests and doves" ', especially since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, overseas Chinese in Thailand have increasingly supported the motherland, organized anti-Japanese demonstrations, supported the motherland's resistance war, and supported the motherland's rejuvenation, which further undermined Luang Phibun Songkhram's pro-Japanese policy.

Luang Phibun Songkham once said in a public speech that "Germans hate the Jews because the Jews live in Germany, but they don't regard Germany as their homeland at all. They steal the wealth of Germany and the German people by any means, and then accumulate and transfer them away. , squandered, and never repay Germany or the German people. In our country, there is a group of people who are also like German Jews, that is, those who have Chinese ancestry. Those overseas Chinese live in Thailand, but they don’t regard Thailand as their home at all. They also unscrupulously steal the wealth of Thailand and the Thai people, and then transfer it to their real country - China, and will never repay Thailand in the future, and give back to the Thai people', Luang Phibun Songkham also claimed that he was going to deal with it like Hitler The Jews dealt with the overseas Chinese in Thailand like that. In fact, he did. In addition to destroying them physically, he set off round after round of anti-Chinese and anti-Chinese storms in Thailand, using the name of the government to control reneging promises, tobacco, etc. , Oil, rice and other lucrative businesses have pushed Chinese businessmen out of the industry. Many occupations in Thailand have explicitly prohibited overseas Chinese from taking up positions, and charged fees from overseas Chinese with various excuses. Overseas Chinese are not allowed to set up newspapers and media in Thailand. Use Chinese characters Chinese and more!"

"How unreasonable!" Yang Jie was furious when he heard this, "This Luang Phi Wen Songkham is really a thing of incomprehensibility! The chief of a mere small country, a low-level character like a clown, is so arrogant and arrogant. Crown! Hateful!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo, "We must teach this Luang Phibun Songkham a lesson! When did China become so depraved that even Thailand dared to disrespect China?"

Jiang Weiguo sneered and said: "These foreign countries are like this. When China is strong, they scramble to flatter them. When China is weak, they are immediately ungrateful and even bite back.

Don't worry, we will definitely beat this kind of bitch to such an extent that we don't dare to do it again!However, I am still more concerned about one thing now. Is Thailand taking the initiative to embrace Japan? Is it a unilateral matter of Thailand, or is Japan and Thailand singing a double reed?How does this affect us? "

Xu Yongchang said thoughtfully: "I think, is it the Japanese who are leading our army?"

Chapter 589 Constant Trouble (3)

Jiang Weiguo knew best in his heart that the vast majority of Chinese in later generations either liked Thailand or did not hate Thailand. The reason is very simple. The Chinese seem to have no reason to hate Thailand. Even if there is no reason to like Thailand, there is no reason to hate Thailand. However, Later generations are later generations, now is now, and the current Thailand is enough to make Chinese people dislike or even hate it.

Thailand is a kingdom. The political system used to be an autocratic monarchy. Now it claims to be a constitutional monarchy. In fact, it is a sham. It is still a dictatorship in essence, but the power is no longer the Thai royal family, but the prime minister ( Prime Minister) Luang Phibun Songkham led a group of "revolutionaries" who overthrew the king's dictatorship under the banner of democracy and then replaced it without changing the medicine.

Luang Phibun Somkham admires Western civilization and worships Japan. He believes that Japan is the only oriental country that has introduced Western civilization into itself and successfully transformed itself. The Thai government is generally pro-Japanese.

Luang Phibun Somkham is ambitious. Internally, he wants to govern Thailand to prosper, and externally, he wants to "expand the territory". For the Japanese, the reason is this: Thais are the main ethnic group in Thailand, accounting for about three-quarters of the country's population. Shrewd and capable, most of the businessmen are wealthy and prosperous, making Chinese businessmen almost control the lifeline of Thailand's domestic economy. The Luang Phibun Songkham government is very annoyed and dissatisfied with this, thinking that "how can Thailand's economic lifeline fall into the hands of foreigners"" The Chinese in Thailand are just as harmful as the Jews in Germany.” “Thailand must deal with the Chinese in the same way that Germany deals with the Jews, so as to regain the economic dominance of the Thai people and prevent the outflow of Thailand’s wealth.” Therefore, Luang Phibun Songkham In order to "make Thailand self-reliant and self-reliant economically", it aggressively excludes or even opposes China. Although the methods are not as vicious as Germany's treatment of Jews, they are quite harsh and even brutal; Competing for Laos and Cambodia, and also broke out territorial disputes with Myanmar. Later, France annexed Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and Myanmar was also occupied by the United Kingdom. As a result, Thailand was surrounded by British and French colonies. Nationalists like Wen Songkham have always been "undead in their hearts". In order to appease Thailand, France has also expressed its willingness to cede a small part of Laos and Cambodia to Thailand. Waiting for Thailand's high-level officials to keep thinking about it, but Britain and France have the same interests, and they wear the same pair of pants. They will not help Thailand deal with the other side in order to win over Thailand (Thailand has not become a colony because Britain and France need to keep a buffer zone between their respective territories. Britain and France have long had a cooperation treaty, and they will not attack Thailand, nor will they "collude" with Thailand behind their backs), Thailand naturally cannot play any kind of cooperation between Britain and France. At the same time, Japan is aware of Thailand Japan is pro-Japanese, and Japan has always coveted the Southeast Asian colonies of Britain, France, Holland and the United States. If Thailand becomes Japan's helper, it will naturally help Japan expand to Southeast Asia. Therefore, Japan has stepped up to lure and win over Thailand, and Thailand also needs to hug Japan. As an accomplice of Japan, he took a share of the pie when Japan invaded Southeast Asia. Therefore, Japan and Thailand, who "have love and concubine intentions", immediately hit it off and signed the "Japan-Thailand Friendship Treaty" on June 15, 1940 (at that time, The Soviet War broke out for more than a month, Germany officially attacked the Soviet Union, and China was also preparing to participate in the Soviet War, so it didn't take care of this matter. In addition, Jiang Weiguo needed Japan's ordnance assistance to the Nanjing Army at that time, so he kept a close eye on it. Turning a blind eye did not prevent Japan and Thailand from colluding).

The Luang Phibun Songkham government, which has embarked on the road of anti-Chinese and pro-Japanese, cannot turn back at all. Why?Because after the end of the Soviet War, China’s land area, national strength, national power, and national prestige have greatly increased. In the past, China was declining and backward. Thailand naturally felt that China was unreliable, so it did not take refuge in China, so it flirted with Japan. At this time, China is strong. Prosperous, Thailand still can’t take refuge in China. The senior officials of the Luang Phibun Songkham government know well and have ghosts in their hearts. They know that they are anti-China and anti-China in Thailand when China is weak. At this time, China is strong. If they take refuge in China again, Wouldn't it be convenient for China to settle accounts with them after autumn?Isn't that tantamount to suicide?Therefore, although it is the best choice for Thailand to take refuge in China at this time, it is something that the Luang Phibun Songkham government cannot do. When the national interests and the interests of private groups conflict, Luang Phibun Songkham naturally chooses to sacrifice State interests to protect the interests of private groups.

At this time, there were only two major powers in the East, one was China and the other was Japan. Since the Luang Phibun Songkham government could not rely on China and was afraid that China would retaliate against them in the future, they had no choice but to Can go all the way to the dark, increase the degree of pro-Japanese, and thoroughly vote for the sun.

This is the background reason why Thailand actively hopes to conclude a military mutual assistance treaty with Japan at this time.

The previous "Japan-Thailand Friendship Treaty" only stipulated that Japan and Thailand should "help each other" politically, diplomatically, and economically, but at the moment, the Luang Phibun Songkham government further hopes that Thailand can cooperate with Japan in military affairs. Of course, this must be the reason for Japan's vigorous wooing.

Hachiro Arita, the Japanese special envoy sent by Tokyo to carry out activities in Bangkok, said this after being personally interviewed by Luang Phibun Songkham:

"The fate of Thailand has reached a critical juncture, and it is entirely in the hands of Your Excellency.

In principle, Japan and China have already cooperated in an alliance. What is the purpose of Japan and China uniting?It is to unite the entire Eastern world and deal with Western powers such as the United States, Britain, France, and the Netherlands. In the past, the Eastern countries were in a state of disunity. As a result, whether it is Japan, China, or Thailand, they were all bullied by Western powers. Therefore, we must unite now. This Eastern Great Unity is natural. Also includes Thailand.

After Thailand joined, it is not only a friend of Japan, but also a friend of China. However, I would like to remind you kindly that China is now in power of the Chiang family and his son. Let’s not talk about Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo. It is in his hands, and this Jiang Weiguo is an out-and-out nationalist. He has never been as lenient as his father and brother when dealing with foreign enemies. Russia has bullied China before, and Jiang Weiguo started killing people in Soviet Russia, killing people like hemp, and never used any soft tactics. The Soviet Russians killed by him are probably no less than 500 million, and the Soviets who fell into his hands The Russians were either massacred or reduced to slavery, and the means of revenge were so fierce that it was chilling!In addition, although Japan is now a friend of China, Japan and China have also fought wars before. Jiang Weiguo killed countless people in Japan. The No.16 Division of the Japanese Army killed some Chinese civilians on the Chinese battlefield. As a result, Jiang Weiguo killed all the personnel of the division, leaving no one alive. He ordered all the prisoners to be beheaded and executed.

Your Excellency, as far as I know, you have previously issued some unfriendly policies and orders to overseas Chinese in Thailand. I suggest that you go to Wuhan immediately and personally ask Jiang Weiguo for guilt. In this way, after Thailand joins the Allied Powers, Jiang Weiguo will also be lenient towards you, although it is impossible for you to continue to be the Prime Minister of Thailand, but at the very least, he will save your life!"

After hearing what Hachiro Arita said, Luang Phibun Songkham was terrified and frightened, and hurriedly said: "Thailand is willing to join the Allied Powers and fight side by side with Japan, China, and Germany. However, we hope to maintain the best relationship with Japan." We have a close relationship, and we hope that our earnestness and sincerity will receive a positive response from Japan.

I myself have always admired, yearned for, and admired Japan, and I firmly believe that Japan is a good teacher and good friend for Thailand on the road to modernization, so I am even more eager for Thailand to get further support and guidance from Japan in the future!"

Arita Hachiro smiled slightly: "Of course.

Thailand is a friendly country of Japan, and Your Excellency the Prime Minister is also a close friend of Japan, and Japan will certainly fulfill its obligations as a friend to support and protect Thailand.

Under Japan's lure and intimidation, Thailand hastily threw itself into Japan's arms, not only to counter Britain and France, but also to counter China.

It is natural for Japan to hold Thailand as a pawn, but after all, Japan is a member of the Allied Powers. To do such a small thing, it must discuss with the two major allies of Germany and China, even if it is just a greeting, at least The program on the bright side is still indispensable.

There are many members of the Federation, and there were 20 before Thailand joined, namely: Germany, China, Japan, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Poland, Finland, Ukraine, Estonia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan , Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Iran, the 20 member states have different statuses. Germany, China, Japan, and Italy are the four pillars. Germany is the well-deserved "big brother", China is the "second brother", and Japan is the "third". , Italy is the "old four". In fact, when the Allied Powers were first established, China's national power was not much stronger than Japan's, especially the navy. Sit down and sit firmly in the position of "Second Brother", as long as it is an official document of Germany, it is in the order of "Germany, China and Japan" instead of "Germany, Japan and China". In addition, the Alliance is sometimes called the "Triple Alliance", ranking fourth Italy is often not considered the main force, because Italy is completely dependent on Germany, and it is a slave country of Germany, but Italy's national strength and military strength greatly exceed all member states except Germany, China and Japan (although it is not much higher), plus Because of the personal relationship between Hitler and Mussolini, Italy became the "fourth".

Of the 20 member states of the Alliance, it is not difficult to see that Germany, China and Japan are all independent, and the three countries are not slaves to each other. The other 17 countries are all slaves to Germany or China, and 12 European countries such as Italy are slaves to Germany. The four Central Asian countries and Iran are slaves to China, but Japan, known as the "oldest third", is very embarrassed that "it has no servants."

Seeing Germany "more and more followers", Japan is very envious, but seeing that China can also "more and more followers", Japan is not envious, but jealous, annoyed, and uneasy.

The more slave countries there are, the greater the natural strength and influence of the suzerain country. Germany has 12 slave countries, China has 5 slave countries, and Japan has 0. It has to make Japanese high-level officials feel jealous. From the perspective of Japanese high-level leaders: Germany should be so strong, as it should be. As for China... a few years ago, it was almost completely devastated by the Empire of Japan. In the past few years, it has already had 5 slave countries, but the Empire of Japan has none?It's simply unreasonable, China can have it, why doesn't Japan?What's more, if this continues, if China and Japan turn against each other in the future, even if Germany is neutral and does not intervene, China will have a bunch of "followers" to help cheer and cheer. Isn't Japan alone?

Based on this mentality, Japan's high-level officials are eager to win over Thailand and make Thailand a new member of the alliance and Japan's first slave country.

Japan’s move is not only to allow Japan to gain a foothold in Southeast Asia, a springboard for war, and resource origin, but also to strengthen Japan’s strength, power, influence, and momentum, and to enhance Japan’s status and voice in the alliance.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo could not allow Thailand to become a vassal state of Japan. Although Thailand does not border China, it is not far from mainland China, and Thailand belongs to China's traditional sphere of influence. How can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch?Not to mention the Japanese.

At the high-level meeting of the Military Commission in Wuhan, Jiang Weiguo, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Yang Jie, Xu Yongchang and others, after repeated analysis, believed that the purpose of the Japanese move was not only the above points, but also the intention to "force China to send troops".

If China does not intervene, Thailand will be controlled by Japan, and if China intervenes, the Japanese will have achieved another goal: let China send troops to fight in front of Japan.

Jiang Weiguo doesn't want to make a move yet, but he is even less willing to see Japan make a move in front of China.

If Japan controls Thailand, it will avoid the problem of "helping China fight north of the equator first, and then fight south of the equator for Japan itself". Although Japan is not afraid of Britain and France, there is no doubt that the Netherlands is better at "bullying" than Britain and France. The forward base of Thailand and the forward position of East Timor are enough for Japan to avoid the colonies of the United States, Britain and France and directly attack the Dutch colonies in one step.

Jiang Weiguo considered this situation: Let Japan fight and occupy first, and then China will attack Japan and "liberate" Southeast Asia occupied by Japan. Anyway, China and Japan will fight again sooner or later.

But after careful consideration, Jiang Weiguo rejected this idea for three reasons:

First, China is fighting now. It is fighting against the local garrisons of the United States, Britain, France, and the Netherlands, as well as the local army. It is very easy to fight (you can refer to the progress of the Japanese army sweeping Southeast Asia in the past), and at least with the help of the Japanese, China will fight in the future. It was the Japanese army that was entrenched in the local area. Although the Chinese army was not afraid of the Japanese army, there was no doubt that the Japanese army was much more difficult to fight than the American, British, French and Dutch troops. Naturally, the price that the Chinese army would have to pay for fighting in the future would be much higher than it is now;

Second, China will fight in the future, wipe out the Japanese army and drive away the Japanese army. Of course, it can occupy the local area, but the Japanese will certainly carry out crazy looting and looting of the local area during the occupation of the local area.The wealth in Southeast Asia should be looted by China, how can Japan loot it?Could it be that China occupied Southeast Asia, and faced with the Southeast Asia that was devastated by the Japanese, it was impossible for China to help the local reconstruction with its own money?

Third, if China does not occupy Southeast Asia, if Japan preemptively occupies it, Japan will definitely gain a lot of local resources, and Japan’s gains will be equal to China’s losses. If China and Japan fight again, it will be difficult for the Chinese army to wipe out the Japanese army in Southeast Asia for a while. The worst-case scenario is that Southeast Asia cannot be taken away from Japan. Hasn't Southeast Asia, which is rich in resources, become a blood bank in Japan?Wouldn't it be possible to continuously transfuse blood into Japan?If China and Japan fight again in the future, wouldn't it be more difficult for China to defeat Japan?

"It's so fucking annoying!" Jiang Weiguo was upset. China wanted to fight, but it was not in a hurry to fight now. On the other hand, wanting to search wantonly but not wanting to take advantage of China's fire, this makes the problem more complicated.

At the Allied Headquarters meeting in Qingdao, representatives of China and Japan started a war of words.

The Chinese side demanded that Japan not sign a military alliance agreement with Thailand, and not get involved in Thailand, which belongs to China's sphere of influence, otherwise it would be regarded as Japan's malicious violation of the alliance treaty; China'", the word "region" should be defaulted to "the colonies of the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands". And Japan does not believe that this move will harm China's interests.

The Japanese side plausibly said that from the perspective of the overall situation of the Allied Powers, if they attacked Thailand by force and forced them to join the Allied Powers, the harm would outweigh the benefits. Wouldn't it be a good thing for the Alliance to persuade Thailand to join the Alliance?

Hachiro Arita, the representative of the Japanese side, said: "After Thailand joins the Allied Powers, there must be three major forces stationed in the territory of the Allied Powers, so as to strengthen the Allied Powers' control over Thailand, so that Thailand can play its fullest potential for the Allied Powers in the future. As a result, Germany is far away in Europe and beyond its reach, it is certainly not possible to station troops in Thailand. Only China and Japan can station troops in Thailand.

Is it China's garrison in Thailand or Japan's garrison in Thailand?Or are China and Japan stationing troops in Thailand?This should be decided and chosen by the Thai government itself.

After all, Thailand is about to become a new member of the alliance, and Thailand is so "conscious about current affairs", the alliance must respect Thailand, take into account its face, consider its own wishes, and not treat Thailand rudely, so as to avoid Thailand's dissatisfaction. The results of dissatisfaction and subsequent betrayal of the Confederacy.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Alliance is a big family. The current 20 member states have equal status in the Alliance camp, and they are all brothers. Thailand is the same. If the Alliance headquarters wants to station troops in Thailand, it must respect Thailand's own wishes. On the one hand, let Thailand feel the "warmth of the big family of the Alliance", on the other hand, set a good example to other countries and attract more countries to join the Alliance. How can the country develop and grow?Therefore, whether it is China to station troops in Thailand, Japan to station troops in Thailand, or both China and Japan to station troops in Thailand, it is up to Thailand to decide, whichever option Thailand decides, the headquarters of the Allied Powers must follow suit and choose that option!"

Zhang Jizheng, who represented both China and Jiang Weiguo at the meeting, scolded afterwards: "These bastard little Japanese! What they say is better than what they sing! The intention is simply Sima Zhao's heart!"

"What should we do? Do we really want to send troops?" Jiang Weiguo thought, "If China sends troops to Thailand, it will inevitably stimulate Britain and France, and lead to Sino-British Sino-French enmity. The training is good, but the preparation is not enough. If you don’t send troops, the fat in Thailand will be taken away by the Japanese. Not only that, the Japanese may also eat Myanmar, Indochina, and Malaya around Thailand. Waiting for a pile of fat meat to be spat out to China in the future will probably only have bones left, then China will suffer a big loss, a dilemma..."

"Easy to handle!" After listening to Jiang Weiguo's narration, Xiao Yao disapproved, "A ready-made solution can solve the dilemma, but you didn't see it?"

Jiang Weiguo hurriedly asked: "What way?"

Xiao Yao said calmly: "Let the overseas Chinese in Thailand launch an armed uprising immediately and seize power!"

Chapter 589 Contest for Thailand (1)

At this time, Thailand had a total population of more than 2000 million, of which there were about 300 million Chinese and overseas Chinese, and there were hundreds of thousands of Chinese-Thai mixed blood. The influence of Thailand is huge, and the Chinese are hard-working, smart and capable, good at doing business and making money, so more than half of Thailand's wealthy class are Chinese, and there are many wealthy Chinese businessmen in Thailand. Even, the Chinese almost control Thailand's economic lifeline, so The situation is simply a replica of the German Jews. However, the Chinese and Thais in Thailand have always lived in peace and are not as incompatible as the Jews and Germans in Germany. There are two comprehensive reasons. One is that the Chinese are relatively simple and kind, although They are also shrewd, but not as cunning as the Jews, and the Chinese have no ambitions. Second, Thais generally believe in Buddhism, which makes Thais also mild-tempered. Therefore, the Chinese and Thais in Thailand have lived in peace for a long time. I never thought that magpie nests would be dominated by doves, and the Thai people would not think of carrying out a bloody "cleaning" of their country like the Germans did. This peaceful situation was not broken until Luang Phibun Songkham came to power. Because of Luang Phibun Songkhram's nationalist policies, storms of anti-Chinese continued to blow in Thailand.

Although the Thai people are generally mild-tempered, there must be a small group of "radicals" among the Thai people who are overconfident and have high-sightedness and low-handedness. This person is an advocate of extreme nationalism. He gave a speech at Chulalongkorn University in July 1938 and publicly declared that "Thailand should completely eliminate the Chinese in Thailand physically." At that time, many members of the "Young and Strong" in the military government appreciated and supported it, but the bourgeoisie in Thailand generally opposed this practice, which was a crime against humanity. First, most of the bourgeoisie and middle class in Thailand were Chinese and Chinese-Thai people. , or Thais who are close to the Chinese, or Thais who have a close relationship with the Chinese in terms of interests, "removing the Thai Chinese from the body" is equivalent to cutting the flesh of the Thais themselves. Psychologically accepting the cruel practice of "mass massacre", Luang Phibun Songkham himself did not agree in the end. Apart from the first reason, he was more afraid of destroying Thailand's economic foundation and causing social turmoil and even collapse in Thailand. , and he didn't dare to do things too extreme, lest he would be rewarded with evil.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo will not sit back and watch his compatriots be humiliated and victimized in a foreign country. Since Thailand's top management has not "done too much", and Jiang Weiguo has been very busy, he has not taken any measures against Thailand, but the pervasive infiltration work has been going on. Right now , Thailand's high-level officials actually wanted to take refuge in Japan, which made Jiang Weiguo intolerable.

Anti-Chinese and pro-Japanese, Jiang Weiguo will never let go of Luang Phibun Somkham and his gang no matter what.

On September 9, Jiang Weiguo presided over a grand ceremony in Shenyang at the former site of the Northeast Army's North Camp that was shelled by the Japanese when the September 18th Incident broke out, commemorating the national humiliation of the year and celebrating the recovery of the Northeast.

Although the Nanjing Army began to take over the Northeast on June 6, it took three months to complete the takeover because of the overwhelming number of affairs in all aspects. With September 1 approaching, Jiang Weiguo simply decided that September 9 would be the official day of the Northeast. The commemoration and celebration activities were held, and the time was not too much or too little. From September 18, 9 to September 18, 1931, the Northeast was occupied for a full ten years. During this period, the puppet Manchukuo existed for nine years and three months (founded in 9 March 18, 1941, died on June 9, 18).

Liu Qihu, who was in charge of receiving various underground affairs during the Northeast period, stood beside Jiang Weiguo and answered Jiang Weiguo's question: "We have been monitoring the Japanese Army Unit 731. Even before the Northeast was recovered, there were our people and organizations in Harbin, monitoring the situation in Harbin City. The building complex in the Pingfang District with the sign of 'Kwantung Army Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Department', because the Japanese army's internal management is very strict, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering, let alone Chinese, they are ordinary Japanese. It is impossible to enter without relevant orders from the top of Tokyo, so we have not infiltrated.

At the beginning of this year, we found that Unit 731 began to evacuate in an orderly manner, buildings were pushed to the ground, and everything that could not be taken away was removed, destroyed, and cleaned, and large-scale incineration and disinfection were carried out. Didn't get anything of value!"

"These Japanese bastards in human skin..." Jiang Weiguo thought, "It seems that they have withdrawn from Japan or Japan's current new territory ahead of time.
