Although Thailand did not suffer a great loss during World War II, it still caused a lot of trouble after the war. In 1941, with the help of the Japanese, the Thai government obtained some territories originally in the hands of the French along the eastern border. These territories include Laos on some areas on the west bank of the Mekong River and some areas in northern Cambodia, which were forced to cede Thailand between 1893 and 1904. However, Free France never recognized that the Vichy government's transfer of territory was effective. As soon as Japan surrendered, they understood to the Thai government that they hoped that Thailand would return the above land.

The French were determined to recover the lost territory and demand compensation for the losses they suffered. The cedes of territory reminded the French of the period when Vichy bowed to the Axis powers, and therefore it was unbearable for the French's feelings. If the shame suffered in the War years and if France was to rebuild France's authority in Indochina, the lost territory in 1941 would have to be recovered. On the other hand, the Thais undoubtedly hoped that the numerous difficulties the French suffered in Indochina at that time would prevent them from taking tough measures. Therefore, the negotiations were stalemate and had no result; by the end of April 1946, a de facto state of war had appeared on the border.

Bangkok newspapers complained that French troops violated the border in pursuit of Annan rebels, which caused casualties to Thai nationals. The French government denied any aggressive actions, only acknowledging that French troops occasionally crossed the border when they pursued the bandits; but they argued that such actions were justified because the Thai authorities clearly had no ability to control the activities of Laos and Annan rebels.

It was in such a situation that when the National Wehrmacht of the Malay Federation increased troops to the border to prepare to deal with the possible harassment and attacks of the Malays in the four southern prefectures of Thailand, in order not to make the situation more difficult, the current Thai cabinet invited Wu Ming to visit to reach a certain peace agreement.

Agriculture is a traditional economic industry in Thailand, with rice exports reaching 1.5 million tons each year. The economic plan of the Malayan Federation is to first build a labor-intensive industry and then gradually transform, so the need for food depends on imports from Thailand.

On October 3, 1948, Wu Ming signed a friendly treaty with Thailand on behalf of the Malayan federal government. The contents of the treaty include: permanent peace between the two countries, generational harmony, exchange of diplomatic and consular representatives, and giving the other expatriates the most favorable treatment in accordance with the laws of the country. For example, the expatriates are given the right to enter and exit the country, protect their personal and property safety, the right to travel, live and work, and the freedom to open schools, gather, association, publish and religious beliefs. This treaty marks an important stage in the relationship between Malaya and Thailand. Malaya sends diplomatic and consular representatives in Thailand, so that Chinese born in Thailand have the right to claim Malayan nationality. Chinese will also enjoy the most in their schools.

Benefiting the country; and according to a statement issued by the Siam government at the time of the signing of the treaty, the text of the treaty stipulates that primary schools must teach Thai, but at the same time guarantees the opportunity to teach a foreign language to primary schools and does not restrict foreign language teaching in secondary schools. In the past, the Thai government attempted to restrict the entry of Chinese immigrants, it also caused conflicts; now the treaty prohibits any discrimination against Chinese. In the exchange meetings between the two parties as an annex to the treaty, the Thai government guarantees that no excessive entry fees will be imposed on immigrants. If the Thai government adopts a limit method to control immigration, it will continue to use "the practices usually adopted by other countries for the same purpose - for example, consider the proportion of the expatriates in the bridge country in the population of the bridge country."

Although the regulations on education and immigration are reciprocal in form, they are obviously only beneficial to the Chinese. Of course, the Malay government has also made some concessions, such as: giving up the attempt to split Thailand by the Malays in the four southern governments of Thailand; without the authorization of the Thai government, the Malay army will not cross the border to combat Malay extremist organizations, but the Malay government will always pay attention to the development of the Malay opposition forces in the four southern governments of Thailand and the intensity of Thailand's crackdown on this. If the situation is serious,

The two countries will take joint action. And the forces involved will be security guards and armed police rather than regular troops. And the Malayan government immediately used American loans to secretly purchase large quantities of Thai rice at fair prices, allowing Thailand to block out food inadequate food to demand that Thailand use food to pay for war reparations that were forced to provide, or sell to the British at very low prices, and gave Thailand much-needed money to cope with the general inflation and the subsequent high cost of living.

On October 5, 1948, Wu Ming ended his visit to various countries. He returned to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of the Malayan Federation, and was warmly welcomed by the leaders of the Malayan Party, Government and Military.

Zhao Xiaomei and others welcomed Wu Ming and others into the conference room of the government building. After the day was over, they began to get to the point.

Wu Ming was a little surprised. Xiao Minghua didn't come. I didn't know what happened. So he asked, "Where is Minghua, the honeymoon should be over?"

"It's over. It's over." Li Xiaohai sighed and said, "Something happened. I was afraid that you would be distracted from you, so I didn't tell you."

"What's the matter?" Wu Ming frowned, "Don't tell me that Minghua had an accident in Malaya because you were not well protected."

"No, of course it's not like this." Liu Cheng quickly explained: "Minghua is pretty good. He was diagnosed with liver disease and has sent him to the United States for treatment."

"Liver disease? Is it serious?" Huang Yushuang asked nervously.

"Pingru, who accompanied him to the United States yesterday, called a telegram, saying that the examination had just been completed in an American hospital, because it was discovered early and there was no danger." Zhao Xiaomei said: "But you need to be treated with peace of mind and not be tired."

"How long will it take?" Wu Ming asked: "Will the election date be postponed?"

"Minghua means to proceed on schedule." Li Xiaohai said: "But he has given up the presidential election. He wrote that as the founding president, it is very tiring. Even if his illness is cured, he is afraid that he will not be able to take on too heavy work. So he asked you to take his job immediately and participate in the election as a presidential candidate. Moreover, as the first founding president, it is necessary to take into account the image of the country and the future construction of the country. Apart from you, there is probably no second person to choose in terms of qualifications, fame, and merit."
