"Prince Bripa, Prince Bander, stay for a moment." When the meeting was over and the ministers were about to leave, King Rama VII called Prince Brippa and Prince Bander. One of them was the Prime Minister and the other was the Minister of Defense, and both of them were powerful people in the Kingdom of Siam.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Brippa and Prince Bender replied.

After everyone else had left, Rama VII said, "Both, the current Kingdom of Siam has reached the point where it is difficult to return, is there really no way for us to save the Kingdom of Siam?" ”

Prince Brippa and Prince Banderer both hesitated, and the current international situation was already very unfavorable for these small countries. "Your Majesty, now the world is in the hands of the big countries, and the other small countries have no other way out except to rely on other big countries. The Kingdom of Siam is strategically located in the Indochina Peninsula and has always been a battleground for soldiers. Our own strength is simply not enough to confront those great powers. Therefore, we can only be attached to those great powers in order to protect our national interests. ”

"Now that the Kingdom of Siam is friendly with Britain and France, and has the support of Britain and France, isn't it enough?" King Rama VII understood what Prince Bripa meant. However, he was still very unwilling. In modern times, the countries of the Far East have fallen one after another, but the Kingdom of Siam has always been between Britain and France, maintaining its independence. On the other hand, China, although it was huge, was still under the blows of the Western powers and fell step by step. This made the successive monarchs of the Kingdom of Siam still look down on China. Even the original request for canonization in China was stopped.

"Your Majesty, we didn't mean that. Britain and France are world powers. However, France is not actually a top power. Their strength had been battered in the First World War, and they were no longer comparable to other powers. As for the British, after the main forces of the Royal Navy were wiped out by the Chinese Navy, their power had already withdrawn from the South Seas. Prince Bender also said.

Rama VII's face was not very good-looking: "Is it possible, do we have to fall to the Chinese Empire?" You are not unaware of the ambitions of the Chinese Empire. If we fall to them, the power of the country will fall into their hands. When the time comes, not only will I become a puppet, but you princes will not be much better. ”

"Your Majesty, we know this. However, if we were able to join the vassal system of the Chinese Empire, we would face a huge market. The current dilemma can be solved at once. Otherwise, the country simply won't last long. Prince Brippa said.

With the backlog of agricultural products, the life of the people of the Kingdom of Siam is getting worse and worse, which makes them full of dissatisfaction and resentment towards the royal family and government of the Kingdom of Siam. If someone is a little provocative, chaos will inevitably break out.

"No, we actually have another way to solve the problem right now. However, this may be a bit risky. A flash of madness flashed in Rama VII's eyes. But if there was even the slightest possibility, he would never surrender to the Chinese Empire.

"What's the solution?" Prince Brippa and Prince Bender both hurriedly asked. If they could, they would naturally not want to become vassal states of the Chinese Empire. After all, once they become vassal states of the Chinese Empire, their power in their hands will also be greatly reduced.

"Now the Kingdom of Siam has indeed been hit hard by the economic crisis. However, some people take advantage of the opportunity to make a windfall. If we can take those people under the knife, we can easily get through this crisis, and even have enough money for other things. Rama VII said.

Prince Bripa and Prince Bander's faces changed dramatically, and they knew what Rama VII meant. The people in the mouth of Rama VII are undoubtedly those Chinese in the Kingdom of Siam. In the Kingdom of Siam, there were a large number of Chinese, in the millions. After all, Zheng Xin, the founder of the previous Thonburi Dynasty, was also Chinese. But the Keri Dynasty just usurped Zheng Xin's country. Even so, in order to avoid Chinese prosecution, they also consider themselves the descendants of Zheng Xin.

The total population of the Kingdom of Siam now is 12 million. Although the number of Chinese is small, the Chinese are very wealthy and almost control the economic lifeline of the Kingdom of Siam. This is also the reason why the Chinese have been oppressed and restrained since Rama V. However, the rise of the Chinese Empire made the Kingdom of Siam dare not suppress the Chinese anymore. The Chinese in the Kingdom of Siam, with the support of the Chinese Empire behind them, are not afraid of the royal family and government of the Kingdom of Siam at all. This also made the royal family and government of the Kingdom of Siam very hated these Chinese.

However, now Rama VII has hit the mind on these Chinese, which is undoubtedly a very dangerous act. If it is not done well, it will cause the Chinese Empire to directly send troops to invade. Although the Kingdom of Siam has been trying to build up its armed forces. However, the total number of troops is now only 100,000. The Chinese Empire could defeat them by mobilizing a few infantry divisions at will.

"Your Majesty, who gave you this idea? This is clearly harming the Kingdom of Siam! Those Chinese are indeed rich, but we can't touch them! Once they are moved, they will definitely attract the thunderous wrath of the Chinese Empire. At that time, the Kingdom of Siam will be completely finished. Even Britain and France will never be able to protect us. Prince Brippa said hurriedly. He was really frightened by the idea of Rama VII. If you attack those Chinese, not only will you not let the Kingdom of Siam get out of the crisis, but it will even make the Kingdom of Siam be wiped out by the Chinese Empire in an instant. It's all playing with fire!

Rama VII's face was not very good, but he thought it was a very good idea.

"Those Chinese now have the nationality of the Kingdom of Siam, and what we want to do with them is none of the business of the Chinese Empire." Rama VII said angrily. He was a little angry that neither Prince Brippa nor Prince Bender was optimistic about his approach.

"Prince Bande, the Kingdom of Siam now has an army of 100,000 troops, and if necessary, we can expand the army to 200,000 or more. In addition, Britain and France will support us, and the United States will also help us. With Britain, France, and the United States supporting us, we don't have to be afraid of the Chinese. Rama VII said.

However, he is obviously too stupid and naïve. Britain, France, and the United States are indeed strong, but do they dare to go to war with the Chinese Empire? Especially in the Indochina Peninsula and the Chinese Empire. This is the home of the Chinese Empire! Last time, the main force of the British navy advanced eastward, but it was almost completely wiped out by the Chinese Imperial Navy. Unless Britain, France, and the United States were kicked in the head by a donkey, they would never have started a war with the Chinese Empire at this juncture. At most, it is just to stand up and give a little spiritual support to the Kingdom of Siam. Once the Chinese Empire is serious, they will definitely not take any substantive action except for a few shouts.

"Your Majesty, even if we expand our army to 200,000. The Chinese will be able to defeat us with at most one army group. You know, the Chinese army has twenty group armies and nearly four million people. The Chinese navy is the first in the world. If we want to confront the Chinese, we are really using the mantis arm as a car! Prince Bender said with great difficulty.

However, now Rama VII seems to have made up his mind. No amount of persuasion by Prince Brippa and Prince Bender could change his decision. Even though, this decision could bring disaster to the Kingdom of Siam. However, he couldn't care about that much.

"All right, Prince Bripa, Prince Bender. Since you don't agree, forget it. However, I have made up my mind on this matter, so you don't need to persuade me anymore. Even if there is the slightest possibility, I will do my best. I believe that the kings of the Kingdom of Siam will bless me and achieve victory. Rama VII said.

Prince Brippa and Prince Bander saw that Rama VII had made up their minds, so they had to say no more. Although, they knew that Rama VII was playing with fire. However, Rama VII did not listen to the advice at all, and they had no other way to stop him.

After Prince Brippa and Prince Bander left, Rama VII muttered, "It seems that they were really frightened by the Chinese." However, I will definitely not be afraid. Someone came, and found Biri Phanom Rong and Luang Phibun Hangkan. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The waiter nodded.

Biri Phanom Rong and Luang Phibun were members of the Nationalist Party of the King of Siam, and the People's Party was a very influential group in the Kingdom of Siam. Although, the power of the Kingdom of Siam was firmly in the hands of the royal family and the advisors of various countries. However, the KMT still had a great influence in the Kingdom of Siam. This time, the idea of doing something to the Chinese was proposed by Biri Phanom Rong and Luang Phibun Hangkan. Rama VII was also very interested in this and relied heavily on both of them.

King Rama VII summoned Bilipanom and Luang Phibun Kham and told them the opinions of Prince Bripa and Prince Bander. Biripa Nongrong and Luang Phibun Khan immediately said that Prince Brippa and Prince Bander had been frightened by the Chinese. With the support of Britain, France and other countries, they do not have to be afraid of China at all.

Rama VII thought it over and agreed with them. So, the task of doing it to the Chinese was completely handed over to the two of them. Among them, Biri Panomrong was responsible for liaising with Britain and France to get their support. Luang Phibun Kham, on the other hand, led the army and was in charge of the actual manipulation. As soon as Britain and France made it clear that they would support them, they would immediately take action against the Chinese in the Kingdom of Siam and plunder the wealth of these Chinese so that the Kingdom of Siam could get out of the economic crisis.
