Chapter 326 The Prime Minister remained silent and just stamped his seal
According to local Siamese tradition, fine sandalwood is slowly burning in a gilded censer carved with a Buddha statue.
However, the unique fragrance it exudes could not suppress the faint smell of gunpowder in the room.
The lining of Phibun's suit was already soaked with cold sweat, and the three-piece John-style suit was like a shroud around his neck.
This was put on him by Hao Yi himself half an hour ago, saying that "the Prime Minister's manners should not be taken lightly."
There is a kind of love that is when grandma thinks you are not wearing enough, so she adds clothes for you frantically, even if you don’t feel cold.
And now, Luan Phibun feels that he is the child in the story.
Hao Yi and Jin Xican's attitude towards Luan Pibul is really, "I don't care what you think, I only care what I think."
Since Zhang Chi felt that Siam had entered a state of emergency, then Siam was naturally in a state of emergency.
In the luxuriously decorated Prime Minister's office, Luan Phibun faced Hao Yi, Jin Xican, and a group of soldiers armed with live ammunition, and even had auditory hallucinations.
'There are only two choices: sign or not sign.'
The ups and downs of life are so exciting. Last year, Phibun was still the powerful prime minister. Not long ago, he became a prisoner who lost his freedom, and now, he has become the prime minister again.
However, the fact that he is now holding the position of Prime Minister is entirely due to the support of the Anmin Army.
Luang Phibun's eyes fell on the "Emergency Act" on the table, the gold-stamped cover shining in the sunlight.
Inside the cover, the eighth clause, written in Chinese, Siamese, and John, was still wet with ink, clearly freshly typed:
"From the date the bill comes into effect, the Prime Minister has the power to expropriate all civilian facilities and land, as long as the purpose is to maintain stability and appropriate compensation is provided..."
There are many clauses before and after that authorize the Prime Minister to have a series of rights. If it were normal times, Phibun would have signed it immediately.
But now?
He is in the hands of the Anmin Army. Isn't the power he obtained also obtained by the Anmin Army?
However, he believed that with John and the White Eagle people watching over them, the Anmin Army would not dare to go too far.
Maybe?
After struggling internally for a while, without any further threats from Kim Hee-chan, Luang Phibun made a decision, knowing that no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless.
He finally picked up the Parker gold pen on the table, unscrewed the cap, and quickly signed his name on the document.
"Don't just sign, use your seal, use your seal..."
Facing Hao Yi who was glaring at him, Luan Pibun, whose ancestral home was Chaozhou, understood what Hao Yi meant even though he could not understand the Mandarin with Guangxi accent.
So, as if accepting his fate, he took out his seal, dipped it in ink, and pressed it hard.

On the other side, Foreign Secretary Anthony, who received the intelligence briefing from MI6, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"A few days ago, an armored unit of the People's Army entered the Siamese capital. Currently, the Siamese leaders are under the control of the People's Army."
At least this time, after instructing MI6 to deliver the news about Siam as quickly as possible, he finally got the news earlier than the BBC News.
But now he was in a dilemma. If he took this information to report to Prime Minister Qiu, he was afraid that the latter would be so angry that the high blood pressure would burst the capillaries in his head and cause a stroke. What if he had a stroke?
Although the tough Prime Minister Chiu is not very popular even within the ruling group, at least for now everyone still needs Prime Minister Chiu to continue to share the worries (take the blame) for the United Kingdom and His Majesty the King.
After thinking about it, the clever Anthony once again summoned the MI6 major who brought this intelligence:
"I have a closed-door meeting with the White Eagle Envoy, and then I'm going to have lunch with him. So..."
As he spoke, Anthony handed over the folder marked with the red word 'Confidential'.
"So you'll have to take this document to 10 Downing Street. I have a special pass here. You can take it directly to the Prime Minister's private secretary."
The civilian major wearing glasses immediately stood up and saluted:
"My pleasure, Your Excellency."
He was already very happy, as this was a chance to show up in front of the Prime Minister. Even if he couldn't meet the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's private secretary was still a powerful figure.
Once 'Jane is in the Emperor's heart', he might be able to directly overcome the hurdle of becoming a lieutenant colonel with just a casual mention.
So this unlucky guy, who had no idea what the file contained, set off happily.
As for Foreign Secretary Anthony, having found a scapegoat, he went straight into his own black Rover luxury car.
He wasn't completely lying. The White Eagle soldiers were too attractive to the hungry John women on the island.
There are more than 2 illegitimate children left at present, and even many noble officers who are on the battlefield have troubles in their own backyards, and many indecent things have happened.
Anthony's task is to have a good "communication" with the White Eagle envoys and the White Eagle generals about this matter, and strive to resolve these scandals in a "dignified" way.
Half an hour later, outside the Prime Minister's office at 10 Downing Street, the private secretary leaned against the heavy, luxurious solid wood door and heard thrilling curses coming from inside.
"Traitor, clown!"
"Oh my God, what is this?"
"Is my intelligence department some kind of circus?"
The staff who occasionally walked by looked tentatively at the personal secretary. The personal secretary, who was nearly 50 years old and had seen a lot, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, indicating to everyone that everything was normal.
Not long after, the office door was opened and the poor major came crawling out, followed by Prime Minister Qiu throwing all kinds of debris at him.
"Get out of here, you piece of trash! Get out of my sight right now!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
The major seemed to have just escaped from a devil's den. After showing his private secretary a smile uglier than crying according to etiquette, he quickly left Number 10 Downing Street.
In fact, if the plan to support MP Apaiwan had failed, Prime Minister Chiu would not have been so angry.
After all, the John people suffered numerous defeats throughout World War II. Could any defeat be worse than the one that cost them half of Western Europe?
Prime Minister Chiu is not that fragile.
The reason why he suddenly broke down today was that he suddenly discovered:
According to the latest intelligence, when he and his two ministers were plotting how to aid Siam, how to support Apaiwan, and how to curb Zhang Chi, Hao Yi had already taken control of the Siamese capital and arrested Apaiwan.
Due to the delay in intelligence, he was still talking nonsense at the time, saying that it was a great opportunity to curb Zhang's relaxation.
Now, after seeing the latest intelligence, Prime Minister Chiu feels that he was like a clown in a circus, wearing a red nose and making the audience laugh with funny performances.
"It's ridiculous and absurd."
Prime Minister Qiu was so angry that he even laughed.
