The essence of war was the struggle between different human interest groups for the right to control the survival resources.
Now that Su Ji had set his sights on the iron and copper mines in the Meirama area of Siam, he would naturally have to wage a war to seize the resources here.
However, Su Ji did not want to interrupt the rapid development of the Great Hua Empire. Therefore, he wanted to force Siam to hand over the Meirama region without fighting. There was no need to really start a war.
Wang Mingfu naturally understood what Su Ji meant and quickly nodded.""Yes, Your Majesty. I understand."
The next day, two well-equipped Army Field Divisions, Chen Bing, arrived at the border between Siam and the Great Hua Empire.
This shocked the Siam Kingdom.
Siam was only defeated by the Great Hua Empire eight months ago in February and was forced to sign the Four-Nation Peace Agreement. Why was the Great Hua Empire sending troops to the border now?
You want to attack Siam again?
You can't f * cking pick on a soft persimmon like me!
Everyone in Siam was panicking.
The Siam Kingdom was definitely not a match for the Great Hua Empire.
Once the battle started, there was no doubt that they would lose.
However, after the two divisions of the Great Hua Empire were stationed at the border, they did not launch an attack on the Siam Kingdom. Instead, they arranged for a special envoy to communicate with the Siam Kingdom, hoping that the Siam Kingdom would hand over the Meirama region to the Great Hua Empire.
According to the details of the Four-Nation Peace treaty, the Great Hua Empire could engage in free trade with Siam. One of them was to establish a concession economic zone. Now, the Great Hua Empire was interested in Siam's Mererama region. They hoped that Siam would cooperate with the treaty and hand over the Mererama region so that the Great Hua Empire could build a concession economic zone.
Good heavens.
Su Ji had even found a reason and excuse.
The Great Hua Empire did not explicitly say that they wanted to occupy the Meirama area. They only said that they wanted to build a special economic zone in the Meirama concession.
At this moment, Siamese had no other choice!
This was because the two divisions of the Great Hua Empire were stationed at the border. If the Siam Kingdom did not agree, the two divisions would immediately cross the border and beat up the Siam Kingdom.
The request of the Great Hua Empire's envoy naturally alarmed Song Zhan.
Song Zhan could not make a decision on this matter, so he could only discuss it with King Lamasi of Siam.
Tai Capital.
In the Grand Imperial Palace.
This was the royal palace of Siam. Close to the Chao Phraya River, it was a large-scale ancient building complex in the center of the Thai capital. It had a total area of 218400 square meters and was built in 1782. After continuous repairs and expansion by successive kings, it was finally built into this large-scale Grand Palace complex. It was still magnificent.
From Rama I to Rama VIII of the Siamese Dynasty, the Grand Palace was filled with the essence of Siamese architecture, painting, sculpture, and decoration.
Walking into the courtyard of the Grand Imperial Palace, the first thing that greeted his eyes was a vast grassland and ancient trees of various postures. There were some bodhi trees and other tropical trees planted around the lawn.
The pagoda-like spire of the Grand Palace pierced into the clouds, and the fish-scale-shaped glass tiles shone brilliantly under the sunlight.
Walking through the second door, a majestic and magnificent three-story building appeared in front of them. This was the largest main hall in the Grand Imperial Palace, the Jieji Palace.
The Jieji Palace was built by King Rama V in 1876. It was also the official name of the Rama Dynasty.
Its basic structure belonged to the architectural art of the Victoria, and the three square-shaped spires on the roof were Siamese.
At this moment, in the Jieji Palace.
Song Zhan reported the situation in the Meirama region to King Ramashi of the Siam Dynasty.
" This is too much!" Lamash said angrily." The Great Hua Empire has already taken so much territory from us. Now, they want us to cede the Meira Ma region?"”
Although the Mae Rama area was relatively remote, it was still Siamese territory.
It was impossible for Siam to willingly give up the Meirama region.
Song Zhan's expression was solemn as he said helplessly,""Your Majesty, the Great Hua Empire is determined to invade the Meirama region. They have gathered two heavy army field divisions in the border area. If we don't agree, they will probably cross the border and directly invade our Siam country.”
"Is it possible that our Siam army can't stop the Great Hua Empire's attack?" Are we just going to be slaughtered like this?”
It could be said that Siam was able to maintain its independence in Dongnanya and not become a colony. This was considered the greatest success.
All of this was because of the moderate policy adopted by King Rama V, the former king of Ramasi.
In the 19th century, Annam, which was to the east of Siam, was a colony of France. India, which was to the west of Siam, was a colony of Great Britain, and Siam was sandwiched in the middle.
In order to ensure that he did not become a colony, Rama V first told Great Britain that once Siam was occupied by Fa, the colonies of England and France would be directly adjacent. With the ambition of Fa, it was very likely that they would attack India and threaten the colonies of Great Britain.
Later, Rama V told the same truth to the Fa people.
After thinking about it, both Great Britain and France felt that Rama V's point of view was very convincing. Then, Great Britain and France quickly contacted each other. After discussion, both sides decided that no one would touch Siam and simply let Siam become a strategic buffer zone.
In this way, Siam became one of the few independent countries in the southeast.
However, Siam was no match for the Great Hua Empire.
Song Zhan remained silent in the face of King Lamasi's question.
It was obvious that they could not defeat the Great Hua Empire!
Was there a need to ask?
If they could win, they wouldn't have to sign the Four-Nation Peace Agreement…
