Yangon, Myanmar, in a hotel. King Rama VII took Biripanonrong and Luang Phibun Khan and others to hide here. After fleeing from the Kingdom of Siam to Burma, King Rama VII and his family were constantly worried. Fear that the Chinese* army will chase them, that the British government will hand them over to the Chinese, and that the intelligence officers of the Chinese* military intelligence bureau will kill them.

So, in the hotel in Yangon, Rama VII basically does not leave the door. Outside his gates, the most loyal court guards of the Kingdom of Siam. In addition, the British side also sent police to guard the hotel. The task of finding out the news was given to Biripanong and Luang Phibun Kham.

"Your Majesty, good news! Great news. Although, the Chinese formally requested our extradition to the British government. However, the British government rejected the Chinese's demands. Billy Panon Rong smiled.

"Really? Is this true? When Rama VII heard the news, he was also ecstatic. With the Chinese Empire showing such toughness, he once suspected that he was at a dead end this time. Now, I didn't expect such a big change.

"It's true, Your Majesty, it's true. The British have come forward to protect us, and we don't have to die. Luang Phibun Khan also said.

"Haha! Great, great. We don't have to die. No matter how strong the Chinese are, they will not be able to kill us. Rama VII laughed. His eyes were full of the eyes of the rest of his life. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that I didn't have to die now.

"Your Majesty, now that we are in Yangon, it is not actually safe. We're going to get out of here right now, we're going to India, and then we're going to Europe via India. Only in Europe can we be truly safe. Then, with the help of the British, we were also able to establish a government in exile. After the British defeated the Chinese, we would be able to return to the Kingdom of Siam. Billy Panon Rong said hurriedly.

Rama VII nodded repeatedly, it was undoubtedly a good plan. Although, he temporarily left the Kingdom of Siam, losing the land and the people. However, he firmly believes that one day he will go back.

"Billy Panonon, you go and contact the British at once, we are going to England. We want to form a government in exile. Rama VII said. He didn't want to stay in Yangon anymore and be afraid. As long as he goes to Europe, he is truly safe.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll do it right away." Biripanon Rong nodded and immediately went out.

It's just that when Billi Panon happily went to the British and asked them to go to Europe, he was told that for some reason. They must remain in Yangon and await the decision of the British Cabinet. This made Rama VII and others very puzzled. At the same time, their hearts began to sink continuously. They seem to realize that everything is not as good as they thought it would be. Their danger has not been lifted. All of this still seems to be subject to change.

On the Chinese Empire's side, the British government's answer made the Chinese Empire very dissatisfied. Emperor Wu Haoxuan was furious.

"The British actually refused our request, did they want to shield the criminals who slaughtered the Chinese? This is absolutely unacceptable to the Empire. Guys, is there any way for the British to honestly send Rama VII and the others back? Wu Haoxuan said with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have, Rama VII and others are hiding in Yangon, Burma. It's just that the British are providing them with security. If we are going to capture Rama VII and others, we will not send an army to attack Burma. Marshal Chen Xudong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, said.

"Your Majesty, maybe you don't really need to send an army to attack Burma, you just need to make a show. The British may have succumbed. Of course, even if it's acting, it's best to act realistically. Marshal Jiang Baili, Chief of the General Staff, also said.

"You mean to threaten the British with war and force them to compromise and back down. However, if we use such a move often, will they still be fooled? Wu Haoxuan frowned.

In the past, the Chinese Empire often used this tactic to force other countries to compromise and back down. The British have also been suppressed by the empire several times with this trick. In the end, he had to compromise with the empire and let the empire get what he wanted. However, any move will not be so easy to work if you use it for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the British will agree. If they really dare to disagree, then we will make a fake show and knock down Myanmar. In this case, we can be regarded as completely occupying Indochina. Prime Minister Yang Du said with a smile.

The Empire first snatched the Straits Settlements from the British, and now the Kingdom of Siam. Coupled with the Empire's support for the Indochina Resistance Army, it won't be long before the Indochina colonies fall into the hands of the Empire. In this case, in the entire Indochina Peninsula, only Burma is still under the control of the British.

"Well, that's right. If the British don't agree, we will really fight Burma. After conquering Burma, if they want to make the empire spit out again, it will be impossible. If the British do not agree to hand over Rama VII and his henchmen to us by then. Then let's start with India. I don't believe that the British will continue to be tough at that time. Wu Haoxuan nodded.

Anyway, now the empire is strong and in an offensive position. If the British didn't want their colonies to be taken by the Empire one by one. They would have to agree to the Empire's terms. Otherwise, the serious consequences are definitely not something that the British can afford.

"Chief of the General Staff, order the main forces of the 12th Army to move towards Burma. In addition, the domestic troops are also moving closer to Myanmar from Caiyun Province. The Nanyang Fleet also exited the Strait of Malacca and entered the Burma Sea, operating in the coastal waters of Burma. The Marines are also ready to board the ship at any time. I do not believe, in the face of the imminent offensive of the Empire. The British were able to continue their confrontation with the Empire. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Jiang Baili nodded.

On March 25, 4630, the Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi once again summoned the British ambassador to China, Sir Lampson Mill. An Imperial protest was made to him, and the attitude of the Empire was demonstrated. Tang Shaoyi pointed out that Rama VII and others were executioners with Chinese blood on their hands, and that if the British Empire shielded Rama VII and others, it would seriously hurt the friendship between the Chinese Empire and the British Empire. Moreover, the Chinese Empire will never let go of Rama VII and others. The Chinese Empire will use any means to achieve its ends.

Sir Lampson Mill reported the intransigence of the Chinese Empire to the country, but Sir John Simon, the British Foreign Secretary, offered to delay it a little longer, to dry the Chinese Empire a little longer, and then to accede to the demands of the Chinese Empire.

However, the British clearly overestimated the patience of the Chinese Empire.

On March 25, the 12th Army of the Imperial Army began to assemble from the Kingdom of Siam in the direction of Burma, posing as if it was about to attack Burma. At the same time, China mobilized an army group from Caiyun Province to the south, as if it was going to attack Burma from Chinese territory. The main force of the Imperial Navy's Nanyang Fleet also left Singapore, went west out of the Strait of Malacca, entered the Burma Sea, and went directly to the Burmese coast. In addition, two divisions of the Chinese Marine Corps have begun to assemble and seem to have begun to prepare for boarding.

Everything indicates that the Chinese Empire has lost patience and is going to make a move on Burma. This made the British cabinet very nervous. If the Chinese Empire did attack, it would be absolutely impossible for the British Army and colonial forces in Burma to withstand the attack of the Chinese* army. Even if the army was drawn from the Indian colonies, the result was the same.

This put the British cabinet in a panic.

Viscount Halsham, Secretary of State of War, Chatfield, Secretary of State of the Admiralty, Neville Chamberlain, Secretary of State of the Exchequer, Sir Philip Lister, Secretary of State for Colonies, and Sir Samuel Hall, Secretary of State for Indian Affairs, all accused Sir John Simon, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, of going too far, which was clearly stimulating the Chinese Empire. This would have embroiled Britain in the war. Once the war began, Britain would lose Burma and even India. In addition, Britain, which was struggling to survive the economic crisis, simply could not allow such a large-scale war to break out.

The accusations of his colleagues put Sir John Simon under great pressure, but he did not want to compromise like this, and he proposed that this was clearly a blackmail by the Chinese. The Chinese then threatened Britain with war and called for Britain to submit.

However, even if everyone understands it, it is very likely that this is really the case. It's just that Britain can't afford to gamble at all, and it doesn't have the capital to gamble. If war were to be triggered by this, the consequences would be very serious. Britain simply could not afford a large-scale war.

British Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald is also under a lot of pressure. In such a situation, there was simply no other way for him. Although, he also knows, the Chinese are likely to be bluffing. However, judging by the answers of military experts, the Chinese do not seem to be bluffing at all, but really intend to attack Burma.

Ramsay MacDonald immediately thought that the Chinese were expanding ambitiously in all directions. Myanmar is also clearly an expansion direction for the Chinese. The problem of Rama VII was most likely the result of a war against Britain that the Chinese were looking for.

Thinking of this, Ramsay MacDonald could no longer sit still, and directly asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to reply to the Chinese side, and Britain was willing to hand over Rama VII and his henchmen to the Chinese Empire. (To be continued.) )
