CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW Cbrown town IN CENTRAL SIAM is the one of the pressing issues on the reagent Si Suriyawongse mind as the young King-to-be learns from the British example in India. This new cbrown town would ease trade between Bangkok and the surrounding hamlets and farms, and increase the food supply available to Bangkok's growing population. The construction of this cbrown town comes after demand for more food from the citizens of Bangkok, who were often the victim of slight food shortages due to the primitive transportation systems that connected the outlying countryside's farms to the Bangkok metropolitan region.
FRENCH AND BRITISH EXPANSIONISM continues to eat away at Siam's territories, as Britain takes one of Siam's south-west coastal provinces, and French continues to replace Siamese control over Cambodia with it's own government. Several angry citizens have taken up arms against the British and French, but without government backing or any cohesive resistance movement they are ineffectual against the European colonial powers. Despite this, Siam remains open to foreign citizens and merchants, many of whom have settled in Bangkok as their temporary or sometimes permanant residence. Bangkok is truly becoming a multi-cultural city, but stirrings of nationalism are starting to arise in the Siamese people as a reaction to these Europeans.
SIAM CONTINUES TO MODERNIZE IT'S MILITARY as Western-educated Siamese return from the west with vital new engineering and scientific skills. Research starts on Flintlock muskets and Bronze artillery, while the reagent Si Suriyawongse is considering trading spices and silk with the United States in exchange for surplus Springfield rifled muskets and ammunition.
