Chapter 1243 East Africa Directed and Acted
Three days later.
Director Naisala came towards Jiawen Chinese School aggressively with a group of elite soldiers.
"Come in, control everyone, and don't let anyone go." Naisara said.
Soon, the police under Nessala broke into the classroom and took all the teachers and more than 40 students of Jiawen Chinese School under control.
At this time, principal Lin Jiawen heard the commotion and came to Naisara and said, "Who is your Excellency?"
"I am Naisara, the chief of Kawa police station in Bangkok. I heard that you are carrying out illegal education activities. Are you the principal of this Chinese school?" Naisara asked.
Lin Jiawen said arrogantly: "I am the principal, what do you want to do?"
Naisara was not angry but smiled and said: "Ask me what to do? Don't you know that large-scale dissemination of Far Eastern Empire culture is not allowed in Siam!"
It was Lin Jiawen's attitude that made the Siamese police chief a little funny. When did a "Chinese" dare to be so rude to his official uniform?
Lin Jiawen said neither humble nor arrogantly: "So what, don't think that I will be afraid of your Siamese government. What I did is completely legal and compliant. What can you do to me!"
Nesara was really angry. He said seriously: "Very good. I have never seen someone like you who is not afraid of death. He knows the law and breaks the law. Sure enough, His Majesty the King is right to attack you Chinese people. Give them all to me." take away."
Lin Jiawen said without any fear: "Who dares!"
Nesara didn't know where this "Chinese" man's confidence came from. He said, "I dare to do it."
But Lin Jiawen unexpectedly said in Chinese: "Brothers, get ready!"
Nessara didn't know what Lin Jiawen was talking about, but when his subordinates were about to torture everyone here, the teachers and students suddenly resisted.
"You actually dare to resist arrest, teach them a lesson!" Nasala said, looking at these resisting "Chinese" people.
At this time, Lin Jiawen also started to rush towards Naisala. Naisala took a baton and hit the bold Chinese principal head-on.
As a result, Lin Jiawen, who was hit with a stick, not only did not feel any pain, but instead punched Nasara. Other teachers and students of Jiawen Chinese School also showed bravery.
This is no longer an ordinary "criminal"! Director Nessala realized he had to strike hard.
He distanced himself, took out his gun, and shot Lin Jiawen. At this time, after Lin Jiawen was shot, the other teachers and students finally stopped.
…
August 15, 1916.
A major event happened in Siam far away in Southeast Asia, and the atmosphere in the entire Siam Palace was extremely tense.
King Rama VI of Siam asked the ministers with a serious face: "Are you sure, are you really an East African?"
Siam's Foreign Minister said with cold sweat on his face: "The East African Legation has asked us a question and attached evidence. If it is not handled well, it may cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries."
"And I'm afraid East Africa has been planning for a long time. They deliberately opened Chinese schools in order to deliberately lure us into taking the bait and fail to do so, which ultimately led to conflicts between our personnel and them."
King Rama VI hurriedly asked: "Are there any casualties?"
The Foreign Minister stammered: "Thirteen people were injured by our mistakes, and one person was shot and died..."
"Have you confirmed your identity? Are you East African or Chinese?" King Rama VI asked.
The Foreign Secretary expressed his speculation: "Maybe... East Africans, but we are convinced that they were originally Chinese, and their identities may have been forged by the East African government." Rama VI frowned and said, "The situation is very serious now. It’s obvious that whether these two injured people are Chinese or East Africans, we and East Africa may not be able to get along!”
Rama VI is the current King of Siam. He succeeded to the throne in 1910. He is the first ruler of the Siamese royal family to fully accept Western education. He once studied at Manchester College in the United Kingdom and studied English, French and law.
His experience of studying abroad is obviously closely related to the historical background faced by Siam. Britain and France can be said to be the enemies that Siam cannot offend at present.
France occupied a large area of eastern Siam, while Britain threatened Siam from the west, causing Pattani and other places on the Malay Peninsula to break away from Siam.
It can be said that Siam was a buffer state between the colonies of Britain and France. This was the main reason why Siam was able to avoid the fate of national subjugation.
King Rama VI, a monarch with Western thinking, is considered relatively promising and has carried out a series of small-scale reforms, such as establishing modern hospitals, colleges and universities, reforming the army, etc.
However, the Siamese king apparently did not realize that a new threat was rising in the Southeast Asia region, and would also join in the coveting of Siam, and this country was the East Africa that was now making waves in the Southeast Asia.
The current tense diplomatic relations between East Africa and Siam originated from a small Chinese school.
The Siam Chinese School Incident on August 15, 1916.
A Chinese school was blatantly opened in Bangkok, Siam, and it recruited Chinese children from Siam for teaching activities.
It seems like an ordinary incident, but it is actually a conspiracy carefully planned by the East African government.
Rama VI was an anti-Chinese monarch. After all, the Chinese had too much influence in Siam, and coupled with the decline of the Far Eastern Empire in modern times, these Siamese monarchs have been pushing for the "imperialization of the Far East."
This will inevitably cause some conflicts, and the East African National Defense and Security Bureau took advantage of Rama VI's anti-Chinese sentiment and deliberately played a big game for Rama VI.
Since Rama VI was anti-Chinese, the East African National Defense and Security Bureau did the opposite and built a Chinese school in Bangkok.
It is obviously illegal to open a Chinese school in Siam, but it is legal for the East African National Defense and Security Bureau to establish this school. This is related to the "East Siam Bangkok Treaty" signed by the East African government and Rama V in 1907.
It clearly stipulates that East Africa has the right to open schools in Siam for East African expatriates in Siam to study and provide educational services, and the Siamese government shall not interfere...
The so-called Jiawen Chinese School is actually an East African school run by East Africans. The principal Lin Jiawen is not only an East African, but also a member of the East African National Defense and Security Bureau. The other so-called teachers and students are all East African nationals.
As we all know, East Africa is a mixed-race country, so it is not easy to find some "Chinese" actors, and the Siamese government was fooled.
The East African Embassy and the National Defense Security Bureau were monitoring the whole process. When Director Nasara led people to rush into the Jiawen Chinese School, the fate of the Kingdom of Siam was doomed.
Of course, according to Siamese laws, opening a Chinese school is definitely illegal, but the school established by the East African National Defense Security Bureau is in line with the content of the Bangkok Treaty, which has formed a conflict of legal provisions. After all, the Siamese people did not expect that East Africa would conduct Chinese education in Siam.
Because it is well known that East Africa is a German country, the Siamese who signed the treaty at that time could not dream that East Africa would make a fuss about this.
It can be said that the Chinese school incident was a big drama directed and performed by East Africa itself, so as to touch the Siamese government.
The reason why East Africa directed and performed this big drama was naturally to find an excuse to go to war with Siam.
When the East African embassy protested to the government of Rama VI, on the other side of the South Seas, the East African Pacific Fleet in Pontianak Port was also ready to go to the Siamese waters to make achievements.
At this time, the Siamese government could be said to have no relatives. The only two countries that could influence Siam, Britain and France, were now caught in the European war, and East Africa was the only one in the entire South Seas.
At this time, except for the Americans, the Siamese government could not find any external forces to mediate, but the United States obviously could not influence East Africa's decision-making. After all, the United States' influence in the South Seas was far less than that of East Africa, and the only colony, the Philippines, was currently in a half-dead state, and was completely unable to stop East Africa's behavior in the South Seas.
