: The Siamese military betrayed the Siamese royal family!
Males in the Chakri royal family of the Kingdom of Siam are rare, with almost only one or two males in each generation.
By Rama X, he only had three sisters, but no brothers, so now the members of the Chakri royal family are still in Siam. The only ones who are still alive are Queen Sirikit, Princess Ubolratana, and Sirindhorn. Princess, Princess Chulaphorn, and Princess Navari, the youngest daughter of King Rama X.
Attack five royal members in total.
Prayut doesn’t want to leave a reputation as a “rebellious minister” who killed members of the royal family. Why don’t other military generals do the same?
Therefore, the plan proposed by Bayi is to kick the ball to the Qin State as a member of the royal family.
The Qin State initiated the war on the grounds that the Chakri royal family betrayed Emperor Zheng Xin. It would be best if we could negotiate a truce with Qin on the condition of abandoning the Chakri royal family.
If this is not enough to satisfy Qin’s appetite, then give up a few more pieces of land. Whether it is the Malay Peninsula in the south or Chiang Rai in the Golden Triangle area in the north, they are all “barbaric lands”.
As long as the Siam Plain is still under control, the loss of some land is acceptable.
This capitulationism trend spreads throughout the Siamese army and government. No matter which faction is now completely desperate for this war, they just want to end this doomed war as soon as possible.
The Kingdom of Siam was also a loser in history. After Rama I betrayed Emperor Taksin and killed Emperor Taksin to establish his own dynasty, he also sent a mission to the then Central Plains Dynasty in the name of Emperor Taksin’s son to request canonization.
And in the following more than a hundred years, many missions were sent to the Central Plains Dynasty to seek canonization and obtain legitimacy.
Because the Chakri royal family knew very well that their position was unfair, they not only stabbed Emperor Zheng Xin in the back, but also stole the name of the Zheng family.
Rama X’s Chinese name is Zheng Mian.
In modern history, the Kingdom of Siam sought asylum from Western colonists and became a semi-colony.
During World War II, Japan rose to prominence, and the Kingdom of Siam fell to Japan, becoming the bridgehead for Japanese aggression in Southeast Asia.
When the Japanese Kingdom was defeated by the Eagle Kingdom, the Kingdom of Siam fell to the Eagle Kingdom and became the Eagle Kingdom’s military base and satellite in Southeast Asia.
It was not until the Eagle Kingdom failed in the South Vietnam War and withdrew from Southeast Asia that the Kingdom of Siam became relatively independent.
Therefore, for the military families in Siam, it is not an unspeakable thing to take refuge in a powerful country.
Prayuth looked at the other military generals present and saw that everyone nodded silently and looked directly at Prayuth.
“First, in the name of protecting the royal family members, let’s monitor the royal family members.” After a long time, Prayut sighed and said: “First send someone to contact Qin and try to tentatively offer the conditions for peace talks.”
Prayut was not sure that Qin would agree to peace talks after he and others overthrew the Chakri royal family, so he chose to take it one step at a time.
Hearing this, many senior military generals in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, the Siamese military sent people to control the royal family members who remained in Siam in the name of protecting the royal family members. On the other hand, it sent communications troops to contact governments and recruitment offices across the country to mobilize reserves.
In the area of Manchester that the Siamese military could still control, the Siamese military directly took over the government, formed a wartime government, carried out wartime control, and recruited the reserves of the royal capital of Manchester.
It also called on ordinary people to join the army and carry out war mobilization, and forced male youths aged 16 to 45 to be recruited.
Manchester City covers an area of more than 1,500 square kilometers. Excluding the tourists and refugees who escaped, there are still about 12 million civilians.
The population aged 15-64 accounts for 70%. Excluding half of the women, there are about 4 million men.
Compulsory conscription at a ratio of one-tenth would probably bring in around 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers.
But as an international metropolis, Manchester City has complex population flows and civilians must flee, so it would be good to recruit 200,000 soldiers.
However, the Kingdom of Siam implements a compulsory military service system. Adult men between the ages of 18 and 30 must complete two years of regular army service and then transfer to the reserve force.
Such a mature system allows the Kingdom of Siam to maintain more than 300,000 regular troops and nearly 300,000 reserve forces. Men over 30 years old have basically served in the army and have certain military qualities and training.
It stands to reason that such a country with a complete active and reserve system and a population of nearly 70 million, once it enters a state of war readiness and mobilizes, it can pull out a million troops in a short time!
But Qin gave the Kingdom of Siam a hard slap.
Qin’s declaration of war and rapid war actions completely paralyzed Siam’s communication system, power system, air defense system, radar system, railway kingdom and highway network.
This makes it difficult for Siam to recruit and mobilize even if it has hundreds of thousands of reserves.
It can be said that one step behind, every step behind!

In the royal capital of Manchester, in the underground fortress of the Grand Palace.
An officer of the 1st Division of the Royal Siam Army led several soldiers through the passage of the underground fortress. The other soldiers and military families who were hiding in the underground fortress around them did not dare to take a breath.
The officer led the soldiers straight to the area where the royal family members lived. With a wave of his right hand, the soldiers immediately stepped forward to control the corridors and entrances.
“Nanta, Commander of the Guards Battalion of the First Guards Division, please 490 see the Queen Mother!” the officer came outside the Queen Mother’s room and said loudly.
The First Division, also known as the ‘First Guards Division’ or the ‘First Guards Division’, is a force permanently stationed in the royal capital of Manchester.
There was no response from Queen Mother Sirikit’s room, which made Nanta frown.
He is a mid-level officer in the First Division of Siam and comes from a military family. Therefore, although he maintains respect for the royal family members on the surface, he is actually very dissatisfied with these royal members in his heart and believes that the monarchy is a backward system.
There were many young officers who thought like him, most of them serving in the 1st Division and several other divisions.
This was one of the reasons why King Rama IX noticed that the military was somewhat out of control, so he founded the Special Military Training Academy, which later became the ‘Redwood Sect’.
The royal education provided by the Chakri royal family to the people for more than two hundred years has maintained the royal family’s presence in the hearts of the people. Even the majority of the army supports the royal family.
Even though Rama X was mediocre and ignorant, he still maintained his influence on the military.
Therefore, the top military officials wanted to attack the royal family, and the soldiers they sent were the children of aristocratic families and their own trusted soldiers.
“Battal Commander! It’s not good!” At this time, a soldier ran over in a panic and said: “Princess Ubolratana, Princess Sirindhorn, and Princess Chulaphorn! They are all gone!”
