Chapter 882 Nanyang is really a gangster (Second update, please subscribe)

On the evening of June 6, shrill air raid sirens sounded on the streets of Bangkok.

However, the city was not bombed. Instead, the government issued an order - the city entered a state of emergency and the troops stationed outside the city entered the city.

Under the shadow of war, the city was like a beast with its throat strangled, entering an unprecedented state of emergency. The once bustling streets were now only filled with the busy figures of the army. The soldiers were building fortifications quickly and orderly.

On certain key sections of the road, such as the road leading to the People's Palace in the northwest, there were T34 tanks guarding the intersections. In the park, anti-aircraft guns were pointing straight at the sky. The tense atmosphere made everyone realize that war was about to break out!
Every household in the city has closed its doors, as if to isolate itself from all the noise and dangers of the outside world. People stay at home and dare not go out easily, but many people can still learn about the outside world through the radio. The weak radio waves have become their only connection with the outside world.

However, what was different from usual was that the radio was no longer just the passionate and militant voice of Bangkok Radio, but also another voice - a strange voice that made everyone's expression complicated.

It's the king!
It was the king in exile giving a speech!
When the king's voice came on the radio, everyone's mood became extremely complicated. The king's voice was calm and firm. He asked people to lay down their weapons immediately and accept a peaceful solution in order to avoid more bloodshed and sacrifice.

"…Siam should restore their traditional life, and we should also restore our traditions, our life, our faith, our country…"

Some people heard the king's words, and a glimmer of expectation flashed in their eyes. They longed for the king's return, longed for the return of the old times, hoped to end this endless chaos, and hoped to return to the temple, instead of just quietly recalling the past in their hearts like now.

However, there were also people who roared excitedly. They did not recognize the king at all. In their eyes, there was only the republic.

"There has been no king in Siam for a long time, only a republic!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

"Laying down our arms means surrendering to the iron hoof of foreign invaders, which is something no Siamese can tolerate. We must resist to the end in order to defend our homeland and dignity."

On this night, every corner of the city is filled with different voices and emotions. Some people choose to believe in the king, while others choose to stick to their beliefs. No matter what choice they make, this war has profoundly changed their lives and destinies.

It was in this turmoil that Billy Panongrong was walking back and forth angrily in the European-style building in the northwest of the city - the former Prime Minister's Office, now the People's Palace, and he was roaring as he walked.

"Imperialists, Nanyang is a typical imperialist. How dare they do this!"

How dare?
In fact, he shouldn't ask this. What he should ask is - why don't they dare!

If it was before World War II, would they dare to support armed personnel to infiltrate and attack surrounding neighbors or attack the country's colonies?
the answer is negative.

Because at that time the imperialist powers will really retaliate!

The so-called "colonial independence wave" is essentially because after World War II, the major powers formulated new rules of the game, turning the era of disputes among great powers into an era of hegemony by the two superpowers. The two superpowers created the so-called rules of the game, using so-called international law, the United Nations, and other such things to put a tight ring on other major powers and powerful countries. They can no longer directly fire for their own interests as they did before the war.

It was also from this time that the era when the great powers could take down a country by sending a few warships came to an end.

The new rules seemed to make human society more civilized and end disputes, but this directly led to a situation - all international issues and disputes entered into the new rules of the game.

At this game table, a country that owes a huge debt does not need to worry about debt repayment, because it does not need to worry about creditors coming with ships to collect debts. It can even send trained armed personnel to subvert and threaten other countries without worrying about retaliation, because retaliation between countries is invasion, which is unjust and will be condemned by peace-loving people around the world.

In this environment, no country needs to pay for its own actions, no matter whether it is a big country or a small country, as long as it is rogue enough, the rules of the game will protect it.

Therefore, the way to deal with a gangster is to be more gangster than him.

Therefore, Nanyang has always maintained an attitude, that is, to talk to civilized people as civilized people, and to talk to gangsters as gangsters. And on the road of being a gangster, Nanyang is far ahead of others.

"Do they really think we will surrender? We will never surrender to any imperialist threats. They are shooting down our planes, bombing our airports, and now they are trying to restore Ananta! This is the true face of the imperialists. They really want to destroy us!"

Panongrong then asked again.

"What do the Soviet comrades say?"

Now, Siam can only rely on the support of the Soviet Union. They have decided to send out their fleet. Do they still dare to go to war with the Soviets?
"He said that the Soviet Union would stand firmly on our side, and the fleet sent by Moscow was on its way to Siam. Now..."

After a pause, he said to Pala.

"The electronic interference in Southeast Asia affected our wireless telegraph, and those reactionaries cut off the telegraph lines, so our contact with the outside world was basically cut off."

“This is a conspiracy!”

Panongrong said.

"This is a long-planned conspiracy! We must defend our country at all costs. Mobilize all our troops, all our strength, and call on the people of the country to resist these foreign invaders and their running dogs and puppets."

Panongrong said as he took steps.

"We will definitely win this war. After all, we are just, and the power of justice is invincible. And all the just people in the world will stand on our side."

Then he said again.

"We must restore contact with the outside world as soon as possible, let the whole world see the ugly face of the Nanyang imperialists, and strive for the support of Big Brother. With their support, we will surely win the victory of this Patriotic War."

In the following period, Panongrong continued to meet with military generals and Soviet advisers, asking them about the deployment and mobilization of troops.

But the problem was not as optimistic as he imagined.

"Because of the long blockade, we are seriously short of fuel. The army no longer has enough gasoline and diesel. The mobilization of troops and the guarantee of logistical supplies have become problems."

"Moreover, our troops are now scattered all over the place, the reactionaries are launching attacks from all directions, and there are also many local rebels."

Questions like these kept coming one after another, keeping Panongrong awake until the early morning. He went to bed in the early morning, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

Finally, Panongrong sat up again and talked to himself.

"What on earth are they thinking? How can they make such a big fuss over such a small matter?"

Until now, Panongrong's heart is full of doubts.

He really couldn't understand why Nanyang could do anything without caring about anything, and why they would make a fuss about nothing.

"How can they be so rogue? They are simply a rogue country."

Panonrong said somewhat indignantly.

"It is simply that - Nanyang is a rogue country. It is not only a running dog of the imperialists. It is also a rogue! A complete rogue."

When cursing Nanyang, Panongrong was really a little broken.

He never imagined that Nanyang would be so desperate. Even with the threat from the Soviet big brother, they still tried to occupy Siam regardless of the consequences.

"This damned scoundrel doesn't care about the United Nations at all. Do they still have international public law in their eyes?"

Panongrong’s feelings are actually understandable - he once thought that the United Nations was his get-out-of-jail-free card, so he acted recklessly.

But he obviously forgot one thing - the UN Charter is written on paper, and since it is written on paper, it can be torn up.
