At this time, the Japanese army appeared in a neutral position in the Malacca area, or in other words, it had no strength at sea.

Except for some destroyers and escort destroyers, there are no other defense forces at all.Moreover, the Japanese air force in Malaysia was engaged in an air battle with the aircraft on the British aircraft carrier, causing serious casualties.The Japanese army was worried that the British Far East Fleet would enter and leave Malacca at will in the future, so they planned to withdraw some troops from Burma and deploy them in Malaysia.

"Reject the passage of our army?"

"Yes."

Shigemitsu nodded.

Dao: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand notified the Ministry of Foreign Affairs just now, requesting that my country's material transportation be completed as soon as possible. Including some institutions of our country in Thailand, except for the embassy, ​​other institutions must make all preparations. From May Beginning on the 5st, no army is allowed to pass through Thailand. Those institutions in Thailand will re-apply with Thailand. Those who pass the application can stay, and those who fail to pass will all have to move out of Thailand before May 1. And in the future, our country Any supplies that pass through Thailand will be subject to transportation fees, and the military is not allowed to transport them."

"Thailand, he..."

Koiso Kuniaki was furious.

The United Kingdom and the United States are industrial powers in the world, and the Korean Independence Army has China's support behind them, so they dare to fight Japan.But which one is Thailand ranked in?It is really unacceptable to even dare to issue an ultimatum to Japan.

"What confidence does Thailand have to say to close the country? What is the strength of the Thai army?"

Koiso Kunizaki served as the governor of North Korea before being incorporated into the reserve force, and knew more about Northeast China, the Korean Peninsula, and even the intelligence of the Soviet Far East at that time.Later, after being incorporated into the reserve force, I didn't understand the affairs of Southeast Asian countries too carefully.He had thought that his life was over, that he would not have the opportunity to reappear in the military and political circles.

I didn't expect to become the prime minister this time.Therefore, Koiso Kuniaki has begun to study the intelligence of various countries, but he has not had time to fully digest it.

"Prime Minister, since China and Thailand signed the 'Friendship Treaty', the military cooperation between the two countries has been very frequent. Thailand has imported a large number of weapons from China. At present, the total number of Thai troops exceeds 30, and the army is equipped with a large number of tanks and Cannon. According to the information we know, the Thai army has about 900 tanks and 1100 cannons, of which more than 200 are heavy guns with a caliber of more than 150mm, all of which are imported from China. It also has a complete air force with about About 400 aircraft. Although the Thai navy is weak, it also has quite a few destroyers and torpedo boats.”

"More than 30 people? 900 tanks?"

"Yes."

Koiso Kuniaki could only be speechless.

A small Korean Independence Army has more than a thousand tanks. In this battle of Seoul, the tanks of the Korean Independence Army showed their talents.Now there are more than 900 tanks in Thailand, which surprised Koiso Kuniaki.

Thailand is not a small country, especially because of its high status in the Indochina Peninsula, its strategic location is even more important.Many of Japan's previous actions in the Indochina Peninsula were inseparable from Thailand's support.Even the logistics base of the previous India-Myanmar War was placed in Thailand.

Now that Thailand wants to turn against the water, it will directly affect the situation of the Japanese army in the India-Myanmar battlefield.

"General Sugiyama Moto, can you teach Thailand a lesson?"

758

"General Sugiyama Moto, can you solve Thailand by force?"

Koiso Kuniaki's gaze turned to Minister of War Sugiyama Moto.

Sugiyama shook his head and said: "The situation is not very optimistic. At present, the Burmese front army is deploying a defensive position along the Chindun River, and the British and Indian troops on the opposite side are already ready to move. It is estimated that the British and Indian troops will soon cross the Chindun River. The guerrillas in Malaysia are too There are many, and we have to guard against the British Far East Fleet, so we can't mobilize many troops. The only thing we can use is our troops in Cambodia, but there are not many troops stationed there, only two divisions. Thailand's standing army exceeds 30 If we mobilize a little more than 60 people, there will be no problem with the size of the troops reaching [-] to [-]. If we must use force to solve Thailand, it will affect the next battle of the Chindhon River."

"We have millions of troops in the Indochina Peninsula, can't we solve a Thailand?"

Koiso Kuniaki was very angry.

It was not a day or two for Japan to operate the Indochina Peninsula. At its peak, the number of troops exceeded 200 million, not including the Thai army, Burmese army, and Indian army that cooperated with the Japanese army.It is precisely because the Japanese army has such strength in the Indochina Peninsula that the Japanese army was able to defeat more than 100 million British and Indian troops in the Burma campaign.During the entire Burma campaign, the Japanese army wiped out about 120 million British and Indian troops.Later, the Japanese army entered India and wiped out nearly 30 British and British Indian troops.Of course, the casualties of the Japanese army in the middle were also very large, reaching almost 50 people.Coupled with the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Imphal, the Japanese army also lost 50 people in India.

But now the Japanese army still has millions of troops in the Indochina Peninsula.

How can a small country like Thailand be so arrogant.

Sugiyama Moto did not answer this sentence.

In fact, the Japanese army in the Indochina Peninsula had already obtained Thailand's decision.The commander-in-chief of the Burmese Front Army was originally Seishiro Sakagaki, but because of Imphal's disastrous defeat, he could only step down, and Neiji Okamura became the commander of the Burmese Front Army.

After Thailand's actions like this, the military was also blown up.

But the Japanese army did not take any action immediately, because Thailand is still very powerful.Of course, it does not mean that it is absolutely powerful, but compared to the current situation of the Japanese army, it is relatively strong.If it weren't for the increasing action of the British and Indian troops in front, the Japanese army needed to be prepared for the British and Indian troops to cross the Chindun River, or the Japanese army would destroy Thailand with a backhand.For the Japanese army in the Indochina Peninsula, the gathering of hundreds of thousands of British and Indian troops is the biggest enemy of the Japanese army.

"Prime Minister, if Thailand dares to do this, it must be supported by China."

"Damn it, China should be damned."

Koiso Kunizaki gritted his teeth when he thought of China.

After becoming prime minister, Koiso Kuniaki understood more things, because he could see a lot of confidential information.Japan fought hard in the Second World War, and in the end all the benefits were given to China.Japan has collected so much money in Southeast Asia, and there are countless gold and silver treasures.There are thousands of tons of gold alone.

But what about the results?

So many gold and silver treasures all fell into the hands of the Chinese.

In the beginning, precious metals such as gold and silver were very valuable.Moreover, China only recognizes precious metals such as gold and silver, so the Japanese army imported gold and silver from China.Later, more and more things were imported. As a result, Japan’s gold and silver were not enough, so they began to buy materials from China with discounts on foreign exchange such as pounds and US dollars looted in Southeast Asia.Because during the war, these foreign currencies are waste paper, and China does not recognize them.In order for China to recognize it, one hundred dollars is regarded as twenty or thirty dollars to buy materials from China.Even when you are in a hurry, use one hundred dollars as if it were ten dollars.

When I ran out of these, I started to use jewelry, and later various antique calligraphy and paintings.

Those antique calligraphy and paintings that are usually priceless are sold to China in boxes at low prices at this time, in exchange for what they want.When these are almost sold, the Japanese high-level officials will start to borrow money from China.

What is the collateral for the loan?

The assets of those consortiums in Japan, Japan began to mortgage these assets, and then borrowed from China.Japan has already borrowed more than 30 billion yuan from China, and more and more items are being mortgaged.Not only loans to the Chinese government, some Japanese consortiums also make loans to Chinese trade organizations.At that time, a lot of land was mortgaged, and the land in their hands was mortgaged to a Chinese trading company.As a result, a lot of land in the Tokyo area has also been mortgaged to Chinese companies.

Anyway, as long as they can get loans, as long as they can import materials, Japan really dares to mortgage anything.

So what did you get when you went to Japan?

Shit no.

After Koiso Kuniaki became prime minister, Koiso Kuniaki only had one comment on the war.Japan fought the war entirely for China, and the war was fought entirely for China, but Japan itself paid millions of casualties.

So what now?

Seeing that Japan has no money, China has begun to alienate Japan, and will take advantage of the fire to loot.China is really a despicable country, this is Koiso Kuniaki's biggest thought now.Speaking of China, Koiso Kuniaki gritted his teeth.

"Prime Minister, whether it is the war on the Korean peninsula or Thailand's current attitude, it shows that China is going to fall to Britain and the United States. Only when China's attitude changes, North Korea and Thailand will do this kind of thing. Soon the Myanmar government, Laos , Vientiane, and Champasak, they will all be the same as Thailand. By then, the Lashio area will no longer be our logistics supply area, and they are expected to close the Mekong River. This is the biggest problem.”

Shigemitsu Aoi was a little dissatisfied.

Compared to Hideki Tojo, Shigemitsu Aoi dislikes Koiso Kuniaki even more.Although he became foreign minister because of the downfall of Hideki Tojo's cabinet, Shigemitsu Aoi knew that Koiso Kuniaki's ability was much worse than Hideki Tojo's.Even in Shigemitsu Aoi's view, Koiso Kuniaki, who has already retired from active service, can't keep up with the current situation in thinking.

Thailand's defection is not a big problem, but the problems revealed by Thailand's defection are the big problems.

Compared to Thailand, China is the big problem.

But Koiso Kuniaki doesn't have the slightest awareness in this regard, and is more entangled in Thailand, with a poor vision.Now China has not officially made a move, but some younger brothers have made a move, which has made Japan very uncomfortable.What if China ends?

Shouldn't this be the thing to consider now?

"Yeah, that's a big problem."

After Shigemitsu Aoi's reminder, Koiso Kuniaki immediately thought of this.

After thinking for a while, Koiso Kunizaki asked Sugiyama Motodao: "General Sugiyama Moto, are we short of people in the Indochina Peninsula? Otherwise, Thailand would not dare to stand up publicly."
