Chapter 863 The First Hegemonic Country (Third update, please subscribe)
What is hegemony?

I draw a line, you are not allowed to enter or leave. If you dare to enter or leave, I will punish you. If you disagree...

What does it have to do with me?

Under such overbearing and brutal interference from Nanyang, the world-renowned "Siam Crisis" came into people's view. Although all parties accused Nanyang of practicing hegemony, acting as a pawn of American imperialism, a running dog of British colonists, preventing the people of Southeast Asia from getting rid of colonial rule, and attempting to go against the tide of history...

However, Nanyang has no intention of stopping this behavior, which outsiders call going against the tide of history.

According to some public opinions, Nanyang has gloriously become the world's first hegemonic country.

That’s right, in addition to the two superpowers, Nanyang actually has its own hegemony, and it practices hegemonism and takes pride in bullying weak countries.

"For any attempt to carry out armed infiltration into Nanyang and its allies, our national policy is to resolutely strike back, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be given a comprehensive retaliatory counterattack until the other party promises and actually abides by the promise!"

On March 26, 1956, along with the voice of Li Yian's speech on the radio, he was also telling the outside world where Nanyang's bottom line was!
On April 4, April Fool's Day, Cape Wanhu launched a Wanhu V missile with a range of 1 kilometers. For a time, the world was shocked, and this also meant that the entire Soviet Union was within the range of the South Pacific's nuclear counterattack.

While the missile launch tests were being carried out, the maritime blockade did not stop. During this period, in addition to multiple air battles and the shooting down of many fighter jets, the military even directly attacked a foreign merchant ship that attempted to pass through the blockade.

The Soviet Union, which had been clamoring to send a fleet to teach Nanyang a profound lesson because of the detention of the Allied merchant ships, suddenly fell silent.

"According to intelligence from certain sources, Moscow is also very annoyed by Siam's actions. Although they accuse us of hegemony, they will not issue further substantive threats for the time being. From what Ambassador Nikolayevich revealed, they tend to maintain friendly relations with South Korea, but hope that we can exercise restraint and not launch an attack on its homeland. Now they are coordinating with all parties to facilitate a proper resolution of the crisis."

Although the crisis had occurred, private communication had never stopped, and Nanyang had always maintained communication with the Soviet Union and other parties. In fact, Li Yian was confident about Russia's attitude. After all, as everyone knew, even during the Cuban Crisis, Russia withdrew in the end.

There would definitely not be a direct conflict between Siam and Southeast Asia, at most it would be a confrontation at sea. Therefore, he did not take the threat from the Soviet Union seriously at all.

"Tell the Russians that we have no intention of attacking Siam itself."

Li Yian can say with confidence that Nanyang has no ambitions towards Siam.

"Your Excellency, they are referring to our support for the Khmer and Siamese exile militants from Burma who have crossed the border many times."

Li Guoren's words made Li Yian sneer.

"Now they feel the pain. Tell the Russians that unless they close the training camps and promise to deny any militants access to Malaya, we will not stop supporting the Siamese government-in-exile."

In this world, infiltration is relative. You can infiltrate me and I can infiltrate you. It is just a matter of providing some weapons and funds.

This time, the reason why Li Yian decided to make such a big move was, to put it bluntly, that he hoped to solve the Malaya problem at one time. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. Only by solving the problem now can there be long-term stability in the future without having to worry about security issues.

Of course, what is more important is to send a signal to the outside world - Nanyang will never let go of any grievances and will never make even the slightest concession on security issues. Only in this way can we ensure that in the future Cold War, we will not be robbed by others.

If you want to steal a house... first consider whether you can afford the price.

If it doesn't work, Nanyang can also blockade Malacca!
By that time they will know how to deal with Nanyang.

The Cold War itself is a test of each other's bottom line. Every time, both sides are testing each other's bottom line. Behind the seemingly tough appearance, it is essentially a test.

Faced with this kind of temptation, the nearest way to deal with it is to give the most resolute and decisive counterattack. Only in this way can we prevent the other party from touching upon Nanyang’s fundamental interests in other areas in the future.

In fact, the essence is to make others be cautious in the future. Only in this way can the fundamental interests of Nanyang be guaranteed.

"I understand, but..."

Li Guoren reminded.

"The reaction from the North to the 'Siamese Crisis' was very strong. They declared that they would do their utmost to support the Siamese people in defending their country."

Li Yian nodded but didn't say anything. Some things were inevitable. After a moment, he said, "So, the blockade of Siam cannot be stopped and no concessions can be made. Concessions would be a sign of weakness. In addition..."

Li Yian turned his gaze to Zou Tongjie and Lu Kewu and asked.

"What do you think if Siam no longer engages in air combat with our army?"

"Well... Your Excellency, up to now, our principle is that if the other party starts a war, we will fight back. If they don't take the initiative to provoke us, then we will not take the initiative to attack."

Zou Tongjie's answer made Li Yian shake his head.

"You're being too conservative!"

After saying that, Li Yian walked to the map and said.

"We are now using a strong counterattack to tell them that we will never allow anyone to threaten our security. Malaya is not our territory, but it is our sphere of influence. It is our absolute security zone. Any attempt will be resolutely countered without any room for negotiation."

During the Cold War, if a country did not define its absolute security rights, it would be taken advantage of by other countries.

The reason why the United States never made any concessions on the Cuba issue was because it was their absolute core interest zone.

But before that, the Americans themselves had not figured out where their core interests lay, and they fought to the end in Vietnam, only to have someone steal their chicken at their doorstep.

Nanyang must not make the same mistake again.

"We draw a line, which is a no-fly zone, and once they enter, they will be shot down immediately."

When it comes to how to play air games with small countries, Li Yian is very familiar with it. After all, in another world, the Americans used this trick to beat Iraq badly.

"The establishment of this no-fly zone is not only for the purpose of blockade, but also to support our actions inside Siam. We must ultimately solve the problem fundamentally through dual pressure from both inside and outside."

How to solve the problem fundamentally?
If you can't solve the problem, then get rid of the person who created the problem.

"If they dare to attack, we will fight back in a more violent way. This way of fighting back is not limited to attacking their planes taking off. We can even attack their airports."

Li Yian sneered.

"We will blockade them while intercepting the planes attacking them. In this way, the Siamese Air Force will not only be pinned down by us, but also consumed in the process. This will also pave the way for our next move."

In fact, Li Yian felt guilty when he said this. After all, he was very clear about the Soviet Union's aid capabilities. If necessary, they could aid foreign countries at all costs!

In this case, what Nanyang needs to deal with is not Siam itself!
When facing a giant like that, we should be cautious. After all, even the Americans would not be able to get away with it in front of a giant like the Soviet Union.

But some things have to be done. After all, this concerns the future security of Nanyang.

If it really doesn't work, then just go all in!

However, All-in is only the last step. Now everything has to be done step by step. If you can use an agent, of course you should use an agent first. It is best to use an agent and solve the problem completely. This is the best choice.

It's like another world, what NATO did in Libya.

But at that time there was no big country behind Libya...it’s a headache!
Despite this, Li Yian still said.

"Let's stop flying first."

As for the next step, it's one step at a time...
