Li Min pondered for a moment and said airily, "Mr. Guo Aren is a severe challenge to us, and it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is not so easy to win public opinion and win widespread sympathy from the society. It is not so easy for them to come back after they leave."
Everyone has ambition, but there is a difference between ambition and ambition. Some people are themselves, others are more the country.
In the past few years, the industrial investment company has devoted itself to the development of industry and achieved so much. It has miraculously built a desert island into a heavy industry base, and built a piece of wasteland far away from downtown into a "new city". It has invested heavily in building the first expressway in Southeast Asia.
South Vietnam’s "down-to-business people" almost solved the employment of millions of people, created 95% of the import and export volume, controlled more than one billion dollars of foreign exchange, and had independent administration, justice and public security for eleven industrial villages, not only controlling the lifeline of the national economy but also having its own military strength.
The government led by the Wu brothers, which excludes dissidents and insists on not carrying out democratic reforms, is increasingly unpopular. Why can’t it be replaced?
Chen Shiguo, Wu Andong, Ruan Zhiren and other Vietnamese veterans have privately discussed this possibility more than once, and they all agree that there is no difference in managing a national management company. If Li Min is Chinese, he would have made his own voice like the opposition if the time was not ripe.
Li Min’s words made him shine at the moment and said excitedly, "Chairman, rest assured that I have asked the planning department to study the countermeasures. If you can’t retain it first, you will launch enterprises and workers in various industrial villages to make donations. After the withdrawal, six provinces will defend and raise troops."
It is false to raise troops in a big way, which tells everyone that it is true that it is not the industrial investment company that wants to establish an independent kingdom, but that the government does not want to control the six provinces
Li Min smiled and said tacitly, "You can discuss these things. If necessary, you can suggest that the Ministry of National Defense cancel the establishment of the Fifth Infantry Division and let the officers and men of the Fifth Division return to their hometowns to join the militia self-defense forces."
Chapter one hundred and ninety-four Smoke bombs
Li Min didn’t come to Saigon, but entrusted a deputy director who went to Pingdong Industrial Village for business to bring a lot of gifts to the children and a 16-page personal letter.
From 1955 to now, every time he goes abroad, he will bring something to Wu Lishui and Wu Tingchu’s brothers and sisters. It is normal to reciprocate, but the two families are getting more and more nervous.
Wu Tingyan asked his nieces and nephews to take gifts and read the letter carefully with reading glasses.
It can be roughly divided into three parts. The first part focuses on a series of foreign policies of the United States since the Republican Party came to power, especially its attitude towards South Vietnam. The second part introduces the meeting of members of his "Vietnam Friends Association". Finally, I expressed my serious concern about the government’s attempt to transfer the fourth tactical area, and I was emotional and asked again and again to reconsider.
Li Min’s "lips are dead and teeth are cold" to point out that once the signal of the government’s industrial investment company is released to the outside world, it will inevitably lead to extremely serious consequences, which will make "the relatives who hate the enemy will be quick."
Well-founded and outspoken assumptions make Wu Tingyan’s mixed feelings very unpleasant.
Dinh Nhu Ngo is not so easily impressed. I am more convinced that the news that the US ambassador to Vietnam is about to be replaced will be read. Immediately after reading it, I will ask the secret to send a telegram to the old father-in-law in the United States to confirm the authenticity of the news and ask the old father-in-law Chen Wenzhang to receive Nuoting’s personal information as soon as possible.
Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c heard the news and believed that the three men came to see it and sat around the smoky office to study the problem of "work investment" again
"Third brother, it’s not that I don’t trust the people, but I don’t trust the people around him. He has no idea. Chen Jiachang has no idea. It doesn’t mean that Chen Shiguo, Wu Dongdong, Ruan Zhiren, Ruan Hong and Li Daxiong have no idea. It is more dangerous for Americans who are rich, have guns and have influence to be close than to the opposition."
Chinese identity determines that Li Min and Liu Jiachang and others can’t jump out against the government like Pan Guangdan.
Even if they really oppose it, it is impossible for them to govern, no matter how appealing the appeal is, no matter how good the Americans are, after all, if they want to govern, they must solve the problem of identity, and if they can’t solve this problem, they can’t get wide support.
Chen Shiguo, Wu ‘andong and other company veterans are different. They were born and raised in Vietnam, and they had a certain influence before the country split up. With the rapid development of industrial investment companies, they are in full swing.
Even North Vietnam might not have pushed them to the opposite side so quickly if it hadn’t been for the bank’s "Huayun" attempt to assassinate Li Min and other company executives, which completely angered the "industrial investment" and forced them to launch a vigorous public opinion war.
Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c strongly agrees with Dinh Nhu Ngo’s point of view and lights a cigarette. "The people’s idea is very simple. He hopes to maintain the status quo of industrial villages and follow him. Chinese people can live and work in peace and contentment and gain a certain political status. The problem is that we can give others the same promise as others. Those who seek the highest strength will even harm the interests of the country and the nation, no matter whether they can be fulfilled in the end."
Wu Tingyan finally didn’t believe that Li Min would object to all kinds of shaking his head when he thought of Paris. "Is it more difficult to win over Ruan Wenxin, Li Wenyuan and even Pan Guangdan, who had hopes for him, but he didn’t move?"
"At that time, he was alone and now he had a group of people who could easily influence his thoughts."
Chen Shiguo received the news and Gui Qingshan received the information.
After the meeting at Touton Airport, Li Min received a top secret message from the intelligence department of the Vietnam Literature and Art Research Association.
Wu Tingyan, who had great hopes for Kennedy Taiwan, learned through the embassy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the United States that the Kennedy government of Li Min far surpassed the Eisenhower government of Gangtai.
President, Vice President, President’s wife, Secretary of State, White House Chief of Staff, National Security Adviser, Minister of Justice (Kennedy’s younger brother), Minister of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Director of China Affairs, etc. are almost his friends for many years.
Some members of the Vietnam Friends Association are his teachers, some are his friends and some are his business partners. The whole "out-of-hospital group" is almost a "worker’s investment" rather than the government of the Republic of Vietnam.
Chen Wenzhang’s ambassador to the United States wants to meet with President Kennedy. He must first meet with the Assistant Secretary of State for Asian Affairs and wait for the arrangement of the Secretary of State and the White House Chief of Staff. I don’t know how long it will take to go to the White House.
Li Min didn’t have to go to so much trouble. On the first day in Washington, he was received by Kennedy on the second day. After talking for more than an hour, he was invited to have lunch at the White House. Secretary of Defense McNamara and other senior officials, not to mention that it was as convenient for him to go to the State House, the Capitol Hill and the Pentagon as it was to the Independence Palace.
It is said that even his sister Li Qing has become a socialite in Washington and often participates in some social activities initiated by the wives of senior officials.
Wu Tingyan finally realized that the three-year nationalization of the industrial investment company was purely a delaying tactic, and that it should belong to the government to support the recovery through the Americans, which was different from an idiotic dream. So Dinh Nhu Ngo constantly persuaded and agreed to make a compulsory recovery plan long ago.
If you want to solve the problem once and for all, you must cut the gordian knot.
Wu Tinglian’s plan to transfer troops from six provinces to Britain is two smoke bombs.
In fact, Dinh Nhu Ngo’s special forces and special police are secretly going to Touton, Qintou and Fuguo Island to ensure that in case of loss, four armored battalions are secretly transferred from the first and second tactical areas. It is planned to be relatively reliable. The 7 th Division and the 21 ST Division cooperate to launch a surprise attack and occupy garrison headquarters, the border defense of Jinou Peninsula, which has just been formed. It is incorporated into the industrial investment security forces.
It’s time to get ready, just wait for my brother to give me the order.
"Work investment" is getting bigger and bigger. Dinh Nhu Ngo dare not delay any longer. He tried to persuade him, "Third brother, we have regained our strength and never thought about how to treat the people. He will still be our friend after the action."
You can’t hesitate at this key moment.
Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c chimed in: "Make sure that his family will protect his property and even those shareholders will not take back everything from the industrial investment company. We will reorganize the industrial village security team. If he wants, we will still attach importance to him. He can be an ambassador abroad but not a deputy prime minister."
At the same time, it should appear that Li Minzheng, a rich island home, is sitting in the border defense garrison headquarters of Jinou Peninsula, which is adjacent to Qinmao Industrial Village, and he looks at Ruan Zhiren and Chen Runwei and other "industrial investment" armed forces with expressions.
"Mr. Zhong, it’s 4: 26 p.m. Now, please ask your department to finish the knot before tonight and prepare for the emergency reinforcement of Pingdong Industrial Village. Yes … Yes, that means you can not fight without fighting, but you must show your momentum!"
"When the shipping company is connected, it will wait for you to board the ship, regardless of the logistics supply in Touton Industrial Village. When your Self-Defense Force arrives, it will be at the command of Chief of Staff Wang. You must wait for your good news quickly."
"General Gao, I believe Ruan Zhiren, a border guard in garrison headquarters, has received the news or perhaps the order that Mr. Min sit next to me. He entrusted me to ask you which side your department is on?"
……
Dinh Nhu Ngo is crazier than he thought and dares to wait until he comes back.
Li Min racked his brains and couldn’t figure out his confidence, so he didn’t say that he was back. Even if he didn’t come back, they didn’t have much chance to do it rashly. As a result, it would trigger a North Vietnam applause and accelerate their downfall.
From the heart, now is really not a good time to fight.
The only thing they can do is to show their strength and influence and deter each other as much as possible until the US government intervenes.
Sun Ningyu was thinking, clutching his microphone and waking up, "General Du Gaozhi, the chairman of the board, is on the line."
"oh"
He took the words and cleared his throat. "General Zhi, I, Li Min, have just passed for more than an hour. I have spoken to generals Chen Shanqian, Zhong Lianbo, Gao Wenyuan, Wu Guangchang, Huang Chunlan, Huang Wengao, Li Yuankang and Ruan Yueqing respectively. At this critical moment, our vice chairman Chen Shiguo is in contact with young officers. I want to know your attitude and your position."
Du Gaozhiyuan Hue asked in surprise what he knew about the plot of the Wu brothers, "Mr. Min, can you be more specific?"
"Dinh Nhu Ngo, the president’s political adviser, intends to forcibly nationalize the industrial investment company. He has ordered the special forces of the People’s Labor Party and the police forces of the Ministry of Political Affairs to be loyal to him. The 7th and 21st divisions attacked the Toudun headquarters of the industrial investment company and the Qinmao industrial village in Pingdong at 6 am.
It is no exaggeration to say that his special forces are vulnerable, and the police force of the Ministry of Political Affairs is not concerned about the sympathy of the 7 th Division and the 21 ST Division. Our young officers and American consultants are working, and many relatives of officers and men are employed in my industrial village. I seriously doubt whether they will gun the security team from orders. "
"He … he … he’s crazy. He … what does he want?"
"North Vietnam is engaged in a destructive attack, and the enemy now knows what he wants!"
Li Min looked at his watch and continued, "General Zhi, the American director in Hue will call you. I sincerely hope that your department can listen to your allies’ advice and don’t make those relatives and enemies happy because they have not directly reached the chaos without the general staff."
There is no doubt that he is worried about Da Nang Industrial Village, the first tactical area.
Du Gaozhi has just returned from the United States for further study. How can he have the support of the American government to "vote for work"? Although he doesn’t know the situation, he still does not hesitate to guarantee that "Mr. Min can rest assured that no matter who orders him, no matter whether he goes through the First Army of the General Staff or not, he will not attack Da Nang Industrial Village unless they withdraw from my post"
Chapter one hundred and ninety-five Back from the brink
There seems to be no secret in Saigon, and it is well known that the armed takeover of the industrial investment company and the takeover of the Chinese area on the embankment are so important.
From three o’clock in the afternoon to now, Wen Yang has received more than twenty words from the old department asking which side they should be on.
If I had known that Dinh Nhu Ngo could not have sand in his eyes sooner or later, he would have turned against Li Min, who was once their brother. I didn’t expect to come so quickly, and I didn’t expect to take such drastic measures.
"Gongtou" is different from Ruan Zhengshi and Wang Wendong, who are young and ignorant. Not only are they supported by the United States government, but they also have powerful 5 th Infantry Division and large-scale security forces, and they are rich and influential.
* * At least one fifth of all ministerial officers are from the industrial village security team; At least one-third of middle-ranking officers are "family members" of industrial investment companies or enterprises in industrial villages; Almost all the general officers hold shares in industrial investment enterprises, and almost all of them have bought industrial investment bonds or have money from banks in East Asia, Saigon, overseas Chinese and Nanyang.
Besides American aid, the government and the army almost come from industrial investment companies and bank business districts.
Yang Wen’s first thought was that Dinh Nhu Ngo was crazy, otherwise he would never have done such a stupid thing. After careful consideration, he suddenly found that the Wu brothers Li Minqi was an opportunity to solve the current mess.
Because they will definitely anger the United States by doing so.
Once the support of the United States is lost, those people in the independence palace are nothing, and the workers are not qualified to compete for the highest power. They can do great things with the support of enough senior officers
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He personally drove to the general staff to test Chen Shanqian, Ruanqing and Li Wenji before going further.
Facts have proved that the influence of "industrial investment" is amazing.
Ruan Qing, the chief of staff who firmly supported Wu Tingyan in the "Double Eleven" coup, couldn’t even decide to order the troops to block the main roads leading to the embankment. Chen Shanqian was definitely an old fox sitting in the corner without saying anything.
