Chapter 619 The crisis is coming

To talk about this Luan Piwen Songkan, he was a typical opportunist and fenceist. The reason why he chose to form an alliance with Japan was to be alone.

The purpose of his alliance with Japan was to preserve Siam's independence and prevent Siam from being fully occupied by the Japanese army like Vietnam and Myanmar, and becoming a colony of other countries.

In order to gain more benefits for Siam, Luan Piwen formed an alliance with Japan on the surface, but secretly sent a secret message to Britain and the United States on his back.

Luan Piwang's "two-faced" strategy is most in line with Siam's national interests. If Japan defeats, Siam can preserve its own independent status. If Britain and the United States defeat, Siam can also ensure that it will not be liquidated by Britain and the United States as a defeated country.

In this way, Siam can survive in the cracks of major powers.

As the situation develops, the Siam government unanimously believes that Japan's chances of victory are getting smaller and smaller, and that the allies led by the United States and Britain are getting bigger and bigger.

Until a few days ago, the battle broke out on the border between Siam and Myanmar Zen State, the Japanese army was defeated by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the assisting army sent by Siam was beaten. The destruction of the Japanese Fifth Division completely made Luan Piwen Songkan determined to turn to the Allies.

Although the Siam government continued to maintain its alliance with Japan on the surface, it secretly strengthened its liaison with British and American intelligence agencies after that battle, which fully demonstrated its fence-bearing face.

So when Soichi Shinaka was about to go to Siam to meet with him, Luan Piwen Songkan secretly revealed the news about the other party to the Allied forces, and he also regarded it as his confession of "repentance and reformation".

In fact, the Japanese have always known a little about the Siam government's Xiaojiu, but because Japan has lost the initiative in the Pacific battlefield, its main energy is to guard the "absolute national defense circle", and the Japanese authorities have no time to take care of Thailand's secretly sending trouble to the United States.

After all, in international relations, many times they turn a blind eye, otherwise it would be good for anyone to break up. Sometimes mutual benefit is a good thing. On the other hand, Japan is also confident that their military capabilities can restrict and threaten the other party, so that they dare not have any unfair intentions.

The key is that Luan Piwen is also doing a good job in maintaining relationships. In order not to let Japan see that it has secretly had contacts with the allies, Siam continued to implement the "Japan-Siam Offensive and Defensive Alliance Treaty" on the surface, and most of the matter was led by the Japanese's wishes.

Just like the founding country in resource trade, it also provided sufficient logistical support to the army when Yamashita Fengwen came to Myanmar, so that the other party could not find any faults as much as possible. In this way, Japan's interests were satisfied and he himself did not suffer much loss, which was a win-win situation.

But fence-bearing is always fence-bearing. Who makes the family members "monkey"? They smile on the surface, but they have already begun to plan a way out in their hearts.

With the acquiescence of the Luan Piwen government, the anti-fascist movement in Siam, the Free Thai movement, was booming.

With the support of the British and American intelligence departments, the Free Thailand Movement has formed a nationwide anti-Japanese activity network.

After the Expeditionary Force officially counterattacked Myanmar, they maintained contact with Sri Lanka and the Allied Command of Indochina, quietly conveying Japanese intelligence. They also pointed out the bombing targets to the Allied forces, providing convenience for the Allied forces to bomb the Japanese troops stationed in Siam.

Even in some places where Siam is required to send troops to fight, Luan Piwen will make the troops work but not work hard, and basically do some logistics maintenance work, and try to avoid direct battle with the Allies.

The Free Thai movement transported British and American officers through secret channels, helped the Free Thai movement train armed guerrillas, and often rescued Allied parachuting pilots in Siam and protected them and transported them out of the country.

When Fang Jingyao entered China from Malaysia and asked for help, he went through the Siam line and the help of some local anti-Japanese armed forces.

Even later, the Southeast Asian self-rescue army also entered Siam to fight guerrillas, and among them, the Luan Piwen government secretly supported the fire.

In fact, most of the arms trades that Liao Mingyu had done earlier were sold to Siam and used on these guerrillas.

Thoughts gradually withdrew from their reverie. Liao Mingyu was full of worries and had to re-examine the current situation on the battlefield in his mind.

The move of Shou Nai Nai is a dangerous chess move. Liao Mingyu, as a later generation, knew about the attitude and reality of the Siam government. The old devil has been living for most of his life. How could he not know Siam's attitude of being in harmony with his appearance?

But this old Japanese man who was about to fall into the ground would still have to do this, and he would not just put his treasure on the Siam government.

You should know that there is still an almost full-staffed Fourth Division in Siam. Although the usual slick thief has caused headaches for previous commanders, it is undeniable that its combat effectiveness is still quite strong.

Moreover, Teraunuchi used to be the leader of the division in the Fourth Division. At that time, the "Osaka go-stop incident" that caused a lot of controversy in Japan was the main cause of the incident.

The cause of the "Osaka go-stop incident" was that soldiers of the 4th Division drove through a red light in the downtown area and were stopped by the police. The two sides fought and injured each other.

But the old devil in the temple is quite protective. In order to maintain the majesty of the Imperial Japanese Army, he resolutely led the soldiers of the Fourth Division to smash the police station, and finally got into the cabinet. It was the Emperor who came forward to calm the matter.

Just such a commander who "loves soldiers as much as his son" is very admired and respected by the soldiers of the Fourth Division, not to mention that he is also the Emperor General and the former commander-in-chief of the Southern Army.

With these identities, Osaka people will not dare to be arrogant in front of the temple even if they are scattered, nor will they be as scammers as they used to be.

In addition, Vietnam has become a colony of Japanese since 1942. The Japanese army has operated there for a long time. At this stage, it has also stationed troops from four B Divisions, and some have been pulled down from the Philippines to rest and recuperate.

If Soichi Shinai takes a desperate gamble and integrates these troops to the border between Siam and Myanmar, the expeditionary forces will be in trouble.

Nowadays, several major forces of the entire army are concentrated in southern Myanmar, and the rear is insufficient, so it is relatively empty.

Moreover, the army's logistics line is basically concentrated in the railway line south of Mandalay and Heihe Base. Once attacked, the logistics of more than 100,000 people on the front line will be threatened. Therefore, the importance of central Myanmar can be imagined.

The key is that the Heihe base is in Zen, and Zen County is close to Siam. Once discovered by the Japanese army, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
