Faced with this situation, Pumi Bang issued several orders urging Thanong to mobilize troops to block the guerrilla attack.

But Thanong's reaction was quite negative, and he even left the center of Bangkok directly and went to the military camp in the suburbs in the name of inspection work.

This made Pumi Beng furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Inside Sokha Military Camp, this is Thanong’s real home base.

The entire military camp is home to 3,000 of the best-equipped soldiers, including tanks and armored vehicles, as well as a runway capable of taking off and landing small aircraft.

In a reception room of the military camp, Thanong, who was dressed in military uniform, was chatting and laughing with a plainly dressed middle-aged man.

"Mr. Kathu, as a soldier, I am not loyal to any monarch, but to this family." Thanon said seriously: "My principle in doing things is that anything that is beneficial to the country and the people should be done.

It can be done and it must be done.”

Katu said with a smile: "Tang Nong Jiangjun Gaoyi, on behalf of all colleagues of the Progressive Party, I sincerely invite His Excellency Jiangjun to join us secretly. I wonder what Jiangjun's wishes are?"

Thanong was slightly startled, but reacted very quickly and immediately said: "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it! I quickly believe that the Progressive Party's program is the inevitable direction of Siam's future development. Whether it is a constitutional monarchy or military and political discipline, they are all excessive.

, not for a long time.”

Kathu didn't expect that Tanong would agree so readily. Instead, he was a little hesitant. He laughed and thought about how much of Tanong's words were true and how false.

Thanong Ze said righteously that this time he would not only join secretly, but also establish a branch, develop members, and support the republic.

Only then did Kathu understand Thanon's true purpose. In exchange for these actions, the Progressive Party must guarantee the basic rights and interests of the military.

After thinking about this, Katu was not unhappy at all, but was very happy.

Because this is an unexpected gain for the Progressive Party.

In the beginning, they always attributed the military to the royalist faction, because the military government has always cooperated with the royal family to gain legitimacy and legitimacy, and the royal family received security guarantees accordingly. The two have a symbiotic relationship.

But this time, the situation has obviously changed. The military and the royal family have fallen out, forcing the military to make new choices.

However, after the Katut envoy left, the smile on Thanon's face disappeared. He watched the other party's car leaving the military camp and sneered softly.

In his opinion, the Progressives are still too immature, and these people think of Zhengji too simply.

No matter what he says, in essence the interests of the military conflict with those of the Progressive Party.

Thanon does want to use the hands of the Progressive Party to eliminate the royal family, but he does not want to establish a Guo family as envisioned by the Progressive Party. He hopes to establish a new Thanon dynasty.

At the same time, in the royal palace in Bangkok.

Pumi Beng's face looked extremely ugly.

He had just received the news that the Progressive Party's emissary had just left the military camp in Thanong. The content of their talks was not yet known, but it was conceivable.

During this period, bad news came one after another, which made Pumi Beng more and more impatient.

He originally thought that the time was ripe to make some changes by taking advantage of people's dislike of the Junzheng Mansion, thereby profiting from it and getting more benefits.

However, the reality not only failed to achieve the expected results, but also left a mess on the ground that was difficult to clean up.

Even though he mobilized a large amount of resources to incite and expand people's dissatisfaction with the military, he even exaggerated it to the point of selling fruit.

But he underestimated Tanong's control over his subordinates. The expected chaos and division in the military government under the pressure did not appear. Instead, Danbei's sudden action showed the importance of the army and caused Tanong to be attacked.

Good impression.

Especially the attitude towards foreign enemies and guerrillas at the same time made some people who originally sympathized with the Progressive Party have a good impression of the military, and also made some neutrals calm down.

Faced with the possibility of conflict with foreign enemies, now is definitely not the time to liquidate the military.

Then there is the sudden rise of the Progressive Party guerrillas.

What kind of bullshit World War II arsenal, even a fool would not believe such a lame excuse, did the Japanese have 56 punches during World War II?

But even if you know about this kind of thing, you can't expose it. Once exposed, it will be of no benefit to anyone.

This is why, after the guerrillas announced their discovery of the World War II arsenal, Thanong immediately recognized it.

Someone must bear the blame, but it must not be the rightful owner.

At this time, Pumi Beng already regretted messing with Du Fei. At first, he only saw that Du Fei could bring pressure to the military government, but he did not expect that Du Fei's destructive power was so great.

In his opinion, Li Yuanchao would not risk fighting on two fronts by using troops on the eastern front out of consideration of its own interests.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanchao didn't play his cards according to the routine at all. He turned around and turned into an army of 30,000 people. It was simply unreasonable.

It cannot be said that Pumi Beng’s understanding is wrong. In the final analysis, the information is still poor.

He didn't know many things, or had only a partial understanding of them.

The first is the special relationship between Du Fei and Li Yuan Chao. It was Du Fei who made Li Yuan Chao what he is today.

Coupled with Du Fei's later plan to set off from Danbei and penetrate directly behind the Indian army, Li Yuanchao finally suffered a lot.

In Pumi Beng's view, Du Fei and Li Yuanchao were just second-generation sons of different factions. They had some friendship, but it was not too deep, which made him make a wrong judgment.

In addition, he underestimated the current financial situation of Li Yuanchao.

Only his own people know how much gold and silver treasure Li Yuanchao brought back last time.

After that incident, all the participating troops were replaced, their equipment was also changed from Du Fei's, and an arsenal was established jointly with Du Fei.

Now he was eager to drag these new recruits out for training.

A Li aided Korea and a Progressive Party, two unexpected factors disrupted all Pumi Bang's plans.

Instead, Junzhengfu, who was supposed to be the target of public criticism, became a supporting role.

Especially now, as the Progressive Party guerrillas move south, the military led by Thanong has an ambiguous attitude. Instead, it has put the royal family and the capitalists and civilian factions who secretly colluded with the royal family and planned to overthrow the military government on the fire.

You must know that the targets of the Progressive Party's struggle are feudalism and capitalism.

Pumi Beng sighed helplessly. He knew that he had encountered an obstacle that he could not overcome this time, so he had to get up and go to a courtyard deep in the palace.

There is a magnificent temple located here. Several monks in the temple wearing light orange robes bared one arm and bowed slightly when they saw Pumi Beng.

Pumi Beng returned the courtesy one by one, showing no sign of the high status of a king.

Until we came to the main hall of the temple, there was a majestic Buddha statue wrapped in gold.

Pumi jumped in front of the futon, knelt down and worshiped, her lips moved, and she didn't know what to say.

After the prostrations were completed, an old monk came out from behind the Buddha statue and said in a deep voice: "My Buddha, Sakyamuni, why have you come here?"

Although the old monk looks old, his exposed shoulders and arms still have bulging muscles and tender white skin, making him look young.

Pumi Beng saluted respectfully: "Master, the country is in a difficult situation now. Please help me protect the country."

The old monk said expressionlessly: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Pumi jumped and said: "Please ask the divine master to send down the power of thunder to get rid of the devil who destroys the foundation of our Buddhist kingdom. This man comes from the north and his name is Du Fei."

The old monk frowned and shook his head. He actually knew who Du Fei was. He said without hesitation: "Please forgive me for not being able to obey my order. Du Fei is blessed with the destiny of a great country. If I hurt him, he will suffer backlash and ruin my life."

Bit."

Pumi Beng's face froze, but he was unwilling to give in. He begged again: "Please help me, Master! I will worship you more sincerely."

In fact, the implication is that you have accepted my offering. If you have something to do now, you can't help me. If you help me, you will double your offering. If you don't help me, nothing will happen.

The old monk was unmoved and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please be careful. Unless this poor monk doesn't want to help your Majesty with your worries, even if I risk my life, I won't be able to touch that person in the slightest."

Pumi Beng frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

The old monk said: "Du Fei is the Dharma King who has come to this world. He is protected by the Buddha. No external evil can come to him. I hope your majesty will give up his obsession."

In fact, it is not a secret that Dharma King came to this world and some of the things that happened here in Nanyang.

For example, most people may not know how the Snake King died in Yin Ni, but this old monk knew it very well.

There must be experts around Du Fei.

Pumi Beng looked stunned.

The old monk said calmly: "Your Majesty would not think that throughout the thousands of years of history of the Celestial Empire, there would be no strange people~"

Pumi Beng was silent, even after talking about it, he knew that he could not change the old monk's mind.

Although the old monk in front of me has a kind face and kind eyes, he is not a good person. Since he has said no, there is no point in nagging, so he can only retreat and ask for the next best thing: "In that case, can you ask the spiritual master to help me eliminate the chaos of the Progressives?

"

Unexpectedly, the old monk still shook his head: "Your Majesty, the war is fierce and dangerous, and the situation is overwhelming. This is beyond the capabilities of the old monk. Your Majesty, you should change your request~"

Pumi Beng had no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing and said: "Please help me get rid of Tanong. This person has violated military principles and his oath to protect the country and the royal family. Please do not refuse, please."

This time the old monk bowed slightly and said calmly: "This is okay, but your Majesty should know the price to pay for using the art of subduing gods."

Pumi Beng's face was moved for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "Thirty boys and thirty girls can be sacrificed."

The old monk still had kind eyes and raised his palms in front of his chest, bowing slightly: "I, the Buddha, are merciful~" as if they were not individual lives, but just meaningless numbers: "In this case, I would like to share your worries for Your Majesty."

Pumi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in return, turned and left.

…

In the early morning of the next day, the morning glow was particularly gorgeous, and the sea breeze blowing from the Gulf of Siam carried a moist smell.

There was a sudden commotion in the Sokha military camp on the outskirts. Innadu, Thanon's secretary, stood in Thanon's bedroom with a pale face.
