"Master Lin, are the negotiations still not going well?" Sun Zaizhi handed Lin Anmin a glass of water.

~ap~~p.,

Due to the war, the Nanhua government was very busy. In addition, the main body of Chang'an had been completed. According to the plan, the relocation of the capital would begin in early 1907. Due to lack of manpower, the central court began to ask for people from the local government.

(Central cannot be beaten, use another word to describe it.)

Because Sun Zaizhi is serious and responsible in his work and has received higher education (graduated from the Geological Engineering Adult Education University of Brunei Petroleum University), he was also noticed and was selected to be filled into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a level 2 clerk.

"It didn't go well." Lin Anmin took a sip of water and shook his head.

On the second day of the negotiation, Britain, the United States, and Japan, who came after hearing the news, clamored to join the negotiation. Germany, Russia, and France were not far behind. However, the three of them quarreled first, and there was no matter about South China for the time being.

"I read the briefing...were Westerners involved?" Sun Zairen asked cautiously.

This question is actually a bit over the line. His level only requires handling things, distributing files, and storing files. On specific matters, he should read more and listen more and talk less.

Lin Anmin glanced at Sun Zairen and touched his forehead. His originally thick hair had become thinner and his hairline had receded significantly - he was starting to get old!

"The Americans want to use the Thais to cause trouble for us and subdue us. The British are worried about us climbing ashore and supporting the Thais. The Japanese...it's all a little bit different. What do you think?"

Lin Anmin paused and asked unexpectedly.

"What would you do if you went to talk?"

"Ah!" Sun Zaizhi was startled, and then reacted immediately.

"My subordinates believe that... first of all, we must confirm our justice. No matter what, the Thai people are forced to fight this war... it is a just act."

Sun Zaizhi said one thing and his mood calmed down a lot and he was no longer so nervous.

"Then, none of the conditions we proposed before the war should be missing, and Thailand must be responsible for the losses of our army and the Chinese in this war..."

"It's a good idea, but I still want to hear what you would do?" Lin Anmin looked at Sun Zaizhi.

Sun Zaizhi is a little confused, his major is not right for him! I am engaged in geological engineering, and I don’t know how to answer this question.

"For example, if I am the U.S. ambassador and I protest to you about the armistice conditions proposed by South China, what would you say?" Lin Anmin said in a different way.

"Then my subordinate is being presumptuous..." Sun Zaizhi clenched his right fist and said a little at a loss.

"The request of the United States is unreasonable! This is a war between our country and Thailand. The actions of the United States are tantamount to blatant interference in our country's diplomacy. We solemnly protest against this!" Sun Zaizhi shouted.

"Secondly, all our conditions are in line with common sense. As a victorious country, we have the right to raise conditions. This is the right we have paid for thousands of casualties. You are not qualified to say anything!" Sun Zaizhi

Getting into the state more and more.

boom!

"Finally! No matter what conditions we put forward, it should be responded to by Thailand's characteristics or King Rama VI, not by the United States which has nothing to do with the war!" Sun Zaizhi slammed the table and Lin Anmin drew 1

Get off (be frightened).

"The momentum is enough, but the attack power is not enough, but it is normal. After several years of training, he is also a diplomatic talent." Lin Anmin thought silently in his heart.

"The United States enjoys special interests in Thailand. This is the US-Thailand Trade Treaty and the Bangkok Treaty, and we solemnly protest your country's army's attack on King Rama VI. Restricting a king is extremely ungentlemanly!" Lin Anmin wrote.

He made it more difficult.

"It's your business if you have interests. If we have a conflict of interest, it's a matter between South America and South America. The negotiations between South and Thailand have nothing to do with this incident!" Sun Zaizhi also found that he was a little excited and restrained himself a little.

"However, we must declare one point. After the war began and before the signing of the Treaty of South Thailand, we will not recognize any treaties or secret agreements between Thailand and foreign countries!"

"As for...the question of King Rama VI, this is a war, not a game. The Grand Palace has always been within the range of our artillery. Didn't we attack the Grand Palace?" Sun Zaizhi spread his hands.

"That's right! To engage in diplomacy, you need this kind of character. You must be able to reason, but you must also be able to act rogue, because politicians in other countries are only more rogue than you!" Lin Anmin's eyes were filled with admiration.

This man has never engaged in diplomatic activities, so it is surprising that he can do this.

~p

"Are you noble this year?" Lin Anmin said with a kind face.

"Nine out of ten of my subordinates..." Sun Zaizhi felt that he might be promoted.

"Yes, it is the age when a person is most energetic. After the South-Thailand War, the two sides will definitely restore relations. The former second secretary of the embassy has been transferred to South America. There is a shortage of people. Clean up and go to the embassy to report after the negotiation." Lin Anmin.

nodded.

The job level is equivalent to jumping 3 levels in a row.

"Thank you..." Sun Zaizhi's face turned red with excitement.

"Don't thank me. I just see that you are capable. If I don't promote you, you can climb up on your own and go to Thailand. Do your best and don't insult the country's prestige." Lin Anmin patted Sun Zaizhi on the shoulder.

"Then this negotiation..." Sun Zaizhi nodded.

"It's just that those Westerners look down on us and can't see themselves clearly. The final treaty has to be signed by the Thais. The Thais can't see the situation clearly. Soon, the Sixth Army will let the Thais know what the situation is.

What's going on?" Lin Anmin smiled and explained to Sun Zairen.

"Since you are engaged in diplomacy, you must understand some truths." Lin Anmin looked at his watch and led Sun Zairen to the restaurant.

"Diplomacy, to put it bluntly, is to let others know what you want to do and why you can do it. Everything is an extension of politics and the delivery of interests... But diplomacy is not based on interests, but on force.

Above..."

"How are the preparations for moving the capital?" Liu Wanhua looked at Liu Yiming who was hurriedly getting off work.

After playing with his little daughter for a while, Liu Yiming sat in front of Liu Wanhua, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Everything is ready. The capital will be officially moved on the winter solstice, but before that, the government departments will move there." Liu Yiming rubbed his eyes.

Liu Yiming thought that moving the capital was just a matter of building a house so that everyone could live in it and light a few firecrackers to announce it to the world.

The result is not like this. In order to ensure a stable transition, we must first establish a functioning team in the new capital.

At present, various departments have assigned a lot of manpower there, and the parliament is gradually moving. Liu Haoran has been there for half a month, and the place can barely operate.

Waiting for the winter solstice, the remaining central departments directly under the government will be completely moved there, such as the staff department, logistics department, and audit department of the navy, navy, and air force; as well as the prime minister and cabinet. Anyway, it is very troublesome.

"Winter Solstice? It's a bit late... Can things in Thailand be settled before the Winter Solstice? If it doesn't work, it will be the same if we move the capital after the new year." Liu Wanhua took out a cigarette.

After all, moving the capital is a major event, second only to the change of imperial power. At that time, there will be temporary internal chaos. If there are any problems in the negotiations, the damage will be great.

"The specific date has not been announced. Lin Anmin said that the results of the negotiations will be produced in the next few days. The Army has also surrounded the Grand Palace and there will be no changes." Liu Yiming shook his head...

In Bangkok, the once prosperous city is now filled with smoke. The street fighting did not last long, but the damage caused was not small at all.

Especially in the southwest of Bangkok, there are not many complete buildings left, and most of the wooden houses either remain in ashes or collapsed on their own.

Some were made by Nan Hua, and some were made by the Thai army.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Dabao returned to the headquarters after inspecting the hospital, only to find that the headquarters was busy.

"The King of Thailand is dishonest? Has his brother been caught?" Zhao Dabao's first reaction was that the King of Thailand wanted to run away. It would be good to arrest his brother (cousin, grandson of King Rama 4 and nephew of King Rama 5) to replace him.

.

"No, Minister Lin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a letter, hoping that we would take action on the battlefield to put some pressure on the Thai people." The political commissar waved his hand.

"I called the hospital. The hospital said you had just left, so I took matters into my own hands and let the staff discuss it first."

"What's there to say? Didn't the King of Thailand agree to surrender? Then he went back on it?" Zhao Dabao took the official letter.

The commissar shrugged.

"Forget it, what kind of regulations? Isn't it good to fire cannons?" Zhao Dabao shook his head.

"Just put some pressure, let the navy come in, and invite King Rama VI to watch the Hai-6 joint bombardment exercise." The political commissar thought for a moment.

To launch a direct attack would restart the war, and it would also leave the impact of Nan Hua's arrogance and unreasonableness, and it would also be easy to prove people's opinions.

Even the world's hegemon, the UK, still needs to consider international relations, and South China is not as good as the UK - at least for now.

Before there is an absolute generation gap, the technical level of weapons cannot completely determine the outcome of the war. What is more important is industrial capability.

"Okay!" Zhao Dabao nodded. Cannons are the most direct way to show force.

………

On December 14, the cruiser Guangling sailed upstream and, together with 3 destroyers and 3 destroyer leaders, arrived at the scheduled position of the Northeast Ship at the Grand Palace.

The 6th Army gathered 18 762mm mountain guns and 18 105mm howitzers to form an artillery group, and practiced together with dozens of medium- and large-caliber artillery pieces from the Navy.

body

boom!

As an old rule, the one with the largest caliber speaks first. The power of the 203mm gun is not comparable to that of the 152, let alone the navy's larger charge.

Boom!

Then, round after round of shelling began, with hundreds of cannons firing at the target location at the same time.

"Your Highness the King, we are conducting a breakthrough exercise. We will first concentrate our firepower to attack the enemy within a depth of 200 meters and a length of 1,000 meters. After the artillery fire saturates the attack, the infantry will conduct a supplementary attack...

In this war, considering our friendship, we did not use this fighting method..." the political commissar explained next to King Rama VI.

It is 1000 meters long and 200 meters wide, with a total area of ​​200,000 square meters - the Grand Palace covers an area of ​​square meters. Every time the 203mm cannon fires, the eyelids of King Rama VI will jump.
