Chapter 856 This is not a warning, but a threat (fourth update, please subscribe)

At about eight o'clock in the morning, a crisp telephone ring was heard in the Soviet Embassy in Yugoslavia.

The call was from the Nanyang Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As soon as the call was connected, he asked to speak to the ambassador.

When the Soviet ambassador received the call, he was slightly stunned by the other party's request. He subconsciously said that he was having breakfast and had other arrangements in the morning.

"No, Mr. Ambassador."

Said the person on the other end of the phone.

"The chief wants to see you immediately. This is a matter of friendship between our two countries!"

The tense atmosphere made Nikolayevich realize that something was wrong.

He was very worried that the problem might be related to the infiltration conflict on the northern border of Malaya. Two years ago, Moscow had made a promise to Nanyang, and under the influence of Moscow, the guerrillas in Malaya withdrew to Siam. It was also because of this that the relationship between Nanyang and the Soviet Union became harmonious.

However, the border conflict a few days ago surprised him, and the current emergency summons made Nikolayevich frown.

Prior to this, they had summoned the Siamese ambassador, but he denied any involvement and instead blamed the border incidents on "a small number of rebels" attempting to flee to Malaya, and promised to strengthen border management.

What do they mean by summoning me now?
Is it asking the Soviet Union to continue to fulfill its commitments?

Half an hour later, in the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Li Guoren showed Nikolayevich some photos. Although the other party did not explain anything, he immediately recognized that the photos showed the guerrilla camp in southern Siam, and what he felt was fear.

The aerial photos are so clear that you can even see the soldiers training in the camp.

"These photos..."

Nikolayevich asked tentatively.

"Was this film taken by your spy plane?"

Although not a soldier, Nikolayevich was still stunned by these high-definition photos.

Doesn't such clear photos mean that they can take pictures of ground targets from high altitudes as long as they want, and in this way, there will be no secrets in their eyes?

Report this matter to Moscow immediately. The military must pay attention to it. However, what Nikolayevich didn't know was that since Siam discovered a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft that could fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters, Moscow has attached great importance to it.

When Nikolayevich's appearance could be clearly seen in the photos, all the generals fell silent.

At that moment, I even had the illusion that I was completely stripped naked.

These are all later matters. The most important thing now is to respond.

"Yes, it is also the most direct evidence we have."

Li Guoren said directly.

"Every country has the right to take all necessary measures to protect itself. We have always believed in your promises, and we are willing to cooperate with you at a deep level. However, now our allies are being attacked and our security is threatened. This is... the most direct evidence! You have never given up your ambitions against us!"

Everything requires evidence. After these aerial photos are interpreted by the Photo Interpretation Center, under your instruction, we can also protest to the Soviet Union.

The protest is merely a prelude to the next step.

"Mr. General, you should understand that Siam is an independent country. The Soviet Union can exert its influence and promote some things, but it cannot control their actions."

Nikolayevich then made another promise.

"I can assure you that Moscow is unaware of this and we have no intention of worsening our friendly relations with each other."

Without these photos, Nikolayevich would never admit anything. There are some things that can be done, but they cannot be admitted. But the problem is that the other party already has evidence.

Of course, even if they have evidence, there are some things that they cannot admit.

"It is the same for us. Your Excellency asked me to tell Mr. Ambassador, please tell Moscow that Nanyang cherishes its relations with all friendly countries. But if any country attempts to take advantage of Nanyang's friendship and regards Nanyang's friendship as childish and naive, or as weak and vulnerable, they will pay the price!"

Faced with Li Guoren's blatant warning, Nikolayevich asked back with an unhappy look on his face.

"Mr. General, can I take this as a warning?"

"No need to understand, this is a warning!"

Li Guoren's answer was also very direct, which made Nikolayevich a little confused.
"According to the order of the official residence, we will withdraw our diplomatic personnel stationed in Siam at 10 a.m. today. At the same time, considering the threat posed by Siam to the South China Sea and our allies, we will send a fleet to the Gulf of Siam to implement a comprehensive blockade and search and intercept passing ships. We will regard any foreign warships appearing in Siam as a provocation to the security of the South China Sea and will retain the right to take further action."

This was no longer a threat, but had risen to actual action. If it were any other country, Nikolayevich would certainly not say anything, but Siam was their ally.

"Mr. General, you should know that Siam is a friendly state of the Soviet Union. We will never sit idly by and watch any country threaten Siam militarily!"

Nikolayevich's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear the meaning of his words.

"We know, so, Your Excellency hopes that your country can give full play to your influence to prevent Siam from going further and further. Please also understand, Mr. Ambassador, that Nanyang will never make any concessions on security issues!" Li Guoren then spoke the toughest words in a light voice.

"No matter which country it is, no matter what measures it takes, we will fight to the end."

Then, Li Guoren emphasized again.

"Yes, this is a threat!"

Faced with such a threat, Nikolayevich was even a little confused, because as far as he knew, no country had ever threatened the Soviet Union in this way.

In a small place like Nanyang, they were threatened so much.

……

At 10 a.m., an external spokesperson announced the withdrawal of diplomatic personnel stationed in Siam and the indefinite closure of the embassy and consulate in Siam. At the same time, a military spokesman announced that "the aircraft carrier battle group, with the Katsuragi aircraft carrier as the main force, has set off for the Gulf of Siam to implement a maritime blockade of the Gulf of Siam."

For a time, the atmosphere in Southeast Asia suddenly became tense. Since the end of the Geneva Conference last year and the armistice in French Indochina, the sudden changes far exceeded everyone's expectations.

"We will never allow our neighbor to simply deny the threat posed to us and then stay out of the matter without paying any price. Mr. Ambassador, if we cannot stop their attempt now, their next step will be to annex the entire Southeast Asia."

In the study of the official residence, Li Yian spoke in a firm tone to the visiting American Ambassador Walsh.

"We can't wait until the fire is at our fingertips before facing the threat. Nanyang will never sit idly by and watch the threat come to us, so we will eliminate Gongche in the bud before the threat expands further."

Walls, the U.S. ambassador to the South, thought for a moment and said.

"Sir, I understand your anger and your decision to send a fleet, but you should know that Siam is a friendly country to Russia. Although there is no substantive "Friendly Cooperation Treaty" between them, as a member of the group, the Russians will definitely not sit idly by and watch you take action against Siam. They are likely to send their fleet."

As an ally in Southeast Asia, Wallace was well aware of Washington's attitude - it must not be involved in a direct conflict with the Soviet Union, and it would not allow its allies to conflict with the Russians.

"They can send their fleet, but we will never make concessions,"

As he spoke, Li Yian lit a cigarette and said.

"We will conduct an intercontinental missile test in the near future. The Soviets should understand the signal we are sending."

“What if the Soviets don’t understand?”

In response to the US ambassador's question, Li Yian said.

"They will surely understand."

If they don't understand, make them understand.

In fact, Li Yian had no fear of the Soviet Union. After all, except for the atomic bomb, the Soviet Union had nothing that could threaten Nanyang.

Their navy...is almost negligible.

"Mr. Ambassador, the reason we chose such a strong response is to send a clear message to the Soviets and their allies that we will do everything in our power to stop them."

Looking at the American ambassador, Li Yian said.

"We will act with or without the support of the United States."

Faced with such a strong statement, Walls could only say.

"I understand. I will convey your attitude to Washington."

After Walls left, Li Yian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Listening to your sigh, Yu Xiangdong asked.

"Sir, are you worried that the United States will not support us?"

“It’s not about worrying about the United States.”

Li Yian shook his head and said,
"But, no one can control the future. No one can control how this matter will eventually develop. But..."

After thinking about it, Li Yian said.

"No matter what, we must let them know where our bottom line is. If they don't understand where Nanyang's bottom line is, then they are likely to fall into a very dangerous situation in the future."

Li Yian said with a frown.

"So no matter what, we must nip their ambitions in the bud. Otherwise, there will be no peace in Nanyang."

Rather than letting Nanyang live in endless peace, it would be better to let other people live in endless peace.
