Although there is no definite evidence for taking the blog, you only have one life, so it is better to be careful in this case.

So he made a prompt decision and decided to strike first, arresting and purging people from the king's faction, and at the same time sent the army to take over the air force and naval bases.

But Na Bowen didn't expect that he would plant spies in the king's faction. The king's faction was not idle either. There were still many officers who were leaning towards the king in their hearts. So when his arrest order was issued, an informant urgently notified Chen Weiwen.

So, just an hour ago, when the military police rushed into Chen Weiwen's home, they found that Chen Weiwen had already run away with his wife and son.

Several bases of the navy and air force have been alerted and are now on full alert. They are confronting the army troops who came to take over. Civil war is about to break out.

"Now the military police in Bangkok have begun a city-wide manhunt. They are not only searching for members of the King's Party, but also investigating outsiders. Your hiding place in the processing factory is no longer safe. I have sent people to notify them to evacuate. Now you Come with me quickly." Sucha finally said.

Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping looked at each other, their expressions very ugly, and Zhou Wen even had the urge to scold his mother.

This is equivalent to invalidating all the previous preparations, and Na Bowen will definitely be more careful and alert after being alerted, which greatly increases the difficulty of the assassination operation. Moreover, Zhou Wen can predict that the cabinet meeting originally scheduled for February 10 is also likely to be cancelled. To put it bluntly, even if I want to open a business, I will move my address and find a more private and safe place.

Things began to develop in an uncontrollable direction, and the initiator of all this was Chen Weiwen. This made Zhou Wen angry.

Sucha also felt the anger in Zhou Wen's heart, but he couldn't explain anything at this time. After all, he spent most of the time with Zhou Wen these days, and he didn't know what was going on with Chen Weiwen.

Fortunately, the Bangkok military police's search and verification operation had not yet been fully launched at this time, and Sucha's notification was also timely, so Zhou Wen and the others left Bangkok smoothly. However, not long after their truck drove out of the city, Zhou Wen saw that military police had set up checkpoints at the intersection where they left.

The atmosphere in the shaking truck was a bit dull. Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping were silent, while Sucha felt guilty but didn't know how to ease Zhou Wen's anger. It wasn't until the truck turned from the highway onto a bumpy dirt road that Zhou Wen asked, "Where are we going now?"

Sucha, who was already a little nervous, heard Zhou Wen's question and said quickly: "Now let's go to a fishing village near the port to hide temporarily for a few days, waiting for new information."

Zhou Wen also discovered that the previous road was their route from the port, and now they entered a rural dirt road with rice fields on both sides and a jungle area beyond.

He sighed secretly, knowing that this matter was now a bit complicated, and that this trip to Siam might even end in vain.

Sucha has been observing Zhou Wen's expression carefully. What he is most afraid of now is that Zhou Wen will give up. Anyway, the responsibility lies with Siam. It was Chen Weiwen who was not doing things secretly, which triggered Na Bowen's vigilance and action. Even Zhou Wen and the others' decision to abandon the mission now was justified, and he could not say anything at all.

But he also knew in his heart that if Zhou Wen and the others left this time, it would mean the complete failure of the King's line, and there would be no possibility for His Majesty the King to rise to power again.

So he felt a little anxious and decided to reveal some of Siam's internal secrets to calm Zhou Wen's heart first.

He considered it carefully and said: "Actually, things are not at their worst yet. First of all, Na Bowen does not know your existence. They most likely guessed that Mr. Chen went to Myanmar, but his trip to Nanjing was not exposed. So there is still room for change. Secondly, the military government is not monolithic. Most of the generals in the air force and navy are still on the side of His Majesty the King. His Majesty the King has considered asking them to take some overt actions to attract Na Bowen's attention. Strength, so that we may find opportunities to assassinate."

Of course Zhou Wen knew that Sucha was keeping his heart in mind and was afraid that he would throw up his sleeves and leave in anger. However, I was a little surprised to hear that the Siamese Air Force and Navy were on the King's side. It showed that the King's line was not without any power. He would still be wary of taking Bowen and would not start arresting people and killing people.

You must know that Siam is a Buddhist country. Although both sides are constantly trying to fight for political power, the consequences of large-scale purges and civil war are not something that anyone in power can bear. Especially since the establishment of the Rama dynasty, the Kingdom of Siam has never seen large-scale bloodshed caused by internal strife. This will allow external forces that have long peeked at the Kingdom of Siam to take the opportunity to enter, and will also allow the major powers to The Kingdom of Siam, which struggled to survive, fell apart.

As a military politician with a clear understanding of the current situation, Bowen is naturally unwilling to face this outcome.

In fact, in this case, assassinating the opponent's leader is a good choice.

But Naboven did not dare to assassinate the king, because although Rama VII surrendered state power to the so-called parliament, he was still the nominal head of the Kingdom of Siam and a symbol of the kingdom. To assassinate the king is tantamount to making an enemy of the whole country.

The problem is, King Rama VII may send someone to assassinate him! As long as things were done secretly, it was impossible to pin the blame for the assassination directly on the king, even if someone suspected it. The worst case scenario is to introduce a scapegoat, saying that there are radical people among the people who are dissatisfied with Bowen's rule and attack him. This has nothing to do with His Majesty the King. His Majesty the King would even write a sadly worded eulogy to appease Naboven's relatives and subordinates, and by the way, he would gain a good reputation for himself.

That's why Na Bowen felt panicked after knowing that the king sent someone to contact the British, and that's why he took such a large-scale but restrained manhunt.

On the one hand, he wants to protect his own safety. On the other hand, I also want to tell the people in the king's line that I already know about your conspiracy, so don't do anything about it.

The reason why Zhou Wen was silent just now was of course putting some pressure on Sucha. He wanted to convey his dissatisfaction to the King of Siam and create better conditions for subsequent actions.

Naturally, he would not give up the operation directly because of Chen Weiwen's leak. He would at least have to fully understand the matter and then make a decision based on the subsequent development of the situation in Siam.

What's more, there is such a high bounty reward. This is the largest amount of money Zhou Wen has ever seen in his life. No fool would want it. With this money in hand, aircraft and tanks can be put on the agenda.
