    It was the hottest time in Bangkok in June. Under the protection of his entourage, Zhang Tingshu stepped off the passenger ship.  On the pier, there was already a group of people waiting enthusiastically.  But when they saw Zhang Tingshu coming out, they were all dumbfounded. They saw Zhang Tingshu dressed casually, shorts, short sleeves, sandals and a straw hat. He looked like he was sunbathing on the beach. This made the Siamese officials  Everyone was dumbfounded.  Not long ago, they were notified that the commander of the Chinese Marine Corps was coming to Siam.  After getting the news, Siamese officials worked hard to find out the commander's background. If they didn't check, they wouldn't know. If they checked, they would be shocked.  This commander turned out to be the younger brother of the President of China, and more importantly, he was a war general with outstanding merits. He did not get promoted through nepotism, but through actual military exploits. In the first battle in Korea, he encircled and annihilated three soldiers.  This division simply created a miracle in the history of war.  Facing such a big shot, no one in Siam dared to neglect. Even King Rama VII participated in the discussion to determine the specifications for welcoming Zhang Tingshu.  Speaking of which, there were only three independent countries in Asia in modern times, Japan, China, and Siam.  However, the destinies of these three countries are very different. Japan relied on the Meiji Restoration to squeeze into the ranks of great powers, while China was too big to be swallowed by anyone.  Siam was sandwiched between French Indochina and British India, becoming a transition zone between the two great powers.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  This is also true for the kings and ministers of Siam.  Everyone was trembling and a little uneasy.  I can't sleep at night.  "After the rise of China in recent years, the shock to Siam was quite huge. The former Celestial Kingdom has returned, and China, which dominates the world, has once again risen.  The Chinese people who are busy with construction may not be aware of the impact of China's strength, but these former vassal countries, which have looked up to the Central Plains for thousands of years, have been stirred by this trend.  Over the years, Chinese goods have continued to appear on the market in Siam.  Chinese businessmen were traveling back and forth, and Siam became more and more aware of China's other strength. It might be possible to introduce China's power to form a three-legged situation, which was much better than the covetous gazes of Britain and France.  No matter what their considerations were, they all gave Zhang Tingshu extremely high enthusiasm, Prince Brippa, the brother of King Rama VII.  Songkan, the Director-General of the Air Defense and Anti-aircraft Artillery Force, came to greet him in person.  It goes without saying how noble the prince is, and that Songkan is not a simple person either.  He has just returned from the Fontainebleau Artillery School in France. He is a representative figure of the young faction of the Siamese army and the Western faction, with outstanding military talents.  Of course, this is also the big one among a group of frogs in a well.  Suddenly a bullfrog appeared, everyone was shocked, and the voice for superiority was very loud.  After waiting at the dock for a long time, the two men saw Zhang Tingshu dressed so casually, compared to their well-dressed ones.  I was sweating profusely, the contrast was too great.  Zhang Tingshu saw the crowd on the pier.  He was a little surprised. After a few words of greeting, he finally figured out the situation and hurriedly said to Prince Bripa: "Your Highness, I came here just because I heard that Siam is a famous Buddhist country with beautiful scenery. It is just an ordinary tourist trip.  "Just relax." Prince Bripa also understood that the visit was not an official visit at all. In fact, the problem also lies in the diplomatic institutions of the two countries. Except for officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China, few people go abroad.  And Siam has never received any big shots.  ¡°As a result, an ordinary notification made Siam mistake it for an official visit, making it a joke that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.  Zhang Tingshu looked at the somewhat disappointed Prince Bripa and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the President actually attaches great importance to Siam and has long wanted to send someone to visit. I can also reveal some news to you. The National Reserve Bureau hopes  Purchasing a batch of rice from Siam to replenish strategic reserves. " "Rice?" Bripa said with a smile, "Siam is rich in rice and hopes to trade with China. I wonder how much China needs?" "One or two million?"  Tons, if possible add some more." How much?  Buripa was frightened now. He thought Zhang Tingshu was just perfunctory, but he didn't know that Zhang Tingshu said so much when he opened his mouth. It really shocked him.  In the future, Thailand will be able to export tens of millions of tons a year. With the current output, the limit may not be one million tons a year. China can export millions of tons at a mouth, which is really scary.  Zhang Tingshu, on the other hand, looked indifferent: "China's population has exceeded 500 million, selling this little grain is nothing!" Bripa was also frightened by this huge appetite, and said with a wry smile: "Such a huge food  Of course we welcome exports, but I¡¯m afraid we need to coordinate across the country, otherwise we won¡¯t be able to produce so much!¡±  Songkan on the side was a little impatient. He always felt that Zhang Tingshu was talking nonsense: "One ton of rice costs 150 yuan, and one million tons is 150 million. This is not a small number!  "It is indeed not a decimal, but it is divided equally among every Chinese, but it is only 30 cents. We can't get it out, and it is not only cash, but also arms, sea, land and air equipment. You can  Take your pick. "When he heard the word "arms", Bripa felt like he was struck by lightning again. Siam was caught between big countries and needed a strong army to protect itself. If it could buy weapons from China, that would be a great thing.  .  "Ahem." Songkan said again: "As far as I know, the most sophisticated arms in the world are in Europe, and Britain, France and other countries are far ahead of the world." Songkan stopped. In fact, the meaning was very clear. China is not enough.  See.  Zhang Tingshu sneered: "Mr. Songkan, there is a light cruiser Yarmouth parked off the coast of Port Arthur, but it is authentic British goods. If Siam wants it, we can repair it and sell it to you. Even if it is European equipment  It's really good. Will they be willing to sell you good things?" Bripa's face turned red when he heard this: "Mr. Commander, what is China willing to sell to Siam?" "Anything, tanks.  We can also build aircraft, warships, and even heavy cruisers and escort aircraft carriers. In addition to weapons, we can also help you train a full set of talents. As long as you need it, China can do it!" Hearing this, Bripa!  I was completely impressed. Siam is now in danger. If it can get arms assistance from China, it will be really important for this small country.  In fact, arms are one aspect, and more importantly, arms mean security. The arms China sells to Siam are endorsing Siam¡¯s security. This is of great significance.  Therefore, Bripa hurriedly settled Zhang Tingshu in one of his private estates, and then reported to the king as quickly as possible.  King Rama VII was also alarmed by the news, but he did not dare to make up his mind yet, so he just said: "China is still at war with the Russians. We don't know yet who will win and who will lose, but we can send a visiting  We will go to China and conduct an on-site inspection of their military industry level before making a decision. "It is not up to you to decide whether a weapon is good or bad. War is always the best salesman. As long as you perform well on the battlefield, you will have no worries about selling."  However, the salesmen at this time have not yet realized this, and they are trying their best to cope with the situation in front of them.  Zhang Henian led his entourage into a temporary hospital tent, where a dozen soldiers were undergoing intense operations.  Not being able to hear their painful voices made Zhang Henian frown.  After exiting the tent, he called Huang Xiansheng over: "What's going on? Hasn't it been going smoothly? How could we suddenly be attacked by an air raid?" "I don't know, we are still thirty kilometers away from Zarek.  On the left and right, a Russian fleet suddenly appeared, and they dropped a large number of bombs on our tanks. We also fought back and shot down three enemy planes, but fortunately, more than a dozen of our tanks were injured to varying degrees.  , shot down more than a dozen Russian planes, and we were able to turn the corner." Zhang Henian's brows knitted into a knot, and he said after a while: "The Russians are probably prepared, and they have ordered the entire army not to rush in rashly and move closer to us.  , Let's investigate the situation in Russia first, and then make plans. " Zhang Henian's decision can be said to be very correct. Just when the Chinese army was rushing, Trotsky flew to Astana.  Russian aircraft were somewhat shoddy and dangerous, so Russian officials did not like them. However, Trotsky knew that the military situation was in turmoil and he could not care less.  After he arrived in Astana, he found that the situation was earlier than he thought. The army did not have the courage to fight. All kinds of rumors were everywhere. People fled frantically. The whole situation was in chaos.  Seeing this, Trotsky showed his tyrannical and ruthless side. He first called a meeting with all party members and league members to regroup the morale of the army.  Then he decisively ordered that all residents be incorporated into the militia, and young adults of appropriate age were required to go to the front lines to build trenches.  Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be shot.  Relying on his strong appeal, the Russian army quickly restored order. Based on their experience in dealing with tanks during the civil war, Trotsky carried out strict defenses and overhauled anti-tank tanks in Karaganda, Astana and other places.  Tank trenches and form assault teams, asking them to use cluster grenades to attack the tanks.  He then put the 60 aircraft he brought into the battle and successfully bombarded Huang Xiansheng's vanguard, curbing the momentum of the Chinese army. The morale of the Russian army was also restored to a certain extent, and preparations for war were even better.?Positive.  Soon Trotsky showed his determination to fight to the end.  Zhang Henian also received the report at this time. The opponent was definitely a tough opponent, but he had no fear. The entire army was immediately prepared for a desperate fight.
