Chapter 112: Overseas Chinese Mechanics
Hearing the three words "Chinese", everyone present was inevitably shocked, Wu Tianming quickly signaled the people around him to retreat, and then picked up the gun, vigilantly and sternly drank:
"Come out! If you don't come out, we'll be waiting for the flamethrower!"
"Come out, come out, let's come out!" As soon as Wu Tianming's words fell, there was a frightened echo from the vent, and then the fence of the vent moved slightly, and someone moved it away, and then climbed out a man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing shabby overalls, tall and thin, with a dirty face, followed by the second and third five people crawled out of the vent.
When they saw Wu Tianming with a gun and the soldiers around him, their faces all looked nervous and frightened, and they raised their hands one after another, and the tall and thin man led by him pleaded with Wu Tianming in a pleading tone:
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, we are really Chinese, please don't shoot!"
"Chinese?" Listening to the thin tall man on the opposite side fluently speaking Chinese, Wu Tianming's pupils couldn't help but shrink, you must know that when he went abroad to reconnoiter and fight, he had encountered a similar situation, and he almost suffered a big loss at that time, so although the thin and tall man on the opposite side tried his best to plead,
But Wu Tianming did not relax his vigilance, but glanced at the soldiers beside him, several soldiers understood, rushed forward with an arrow, pressed a few of them to the wall, searched up and down, and shook his head at Wu Tianming with certainty, Wu Tianming saw this, and then released the fingers on the trigger slightly.
And Lu Jiadong next to him was not as nervous as Wu Tianming next to him, but he held up a few people in shabby clothes opposite him very strangely, judging from their clothes, they should be workers here, but judging from the obvious artificial scars on their bodies and faces, it made Lu Jiadong feel that they were not just ordinary workers here.
So after making sure that there was no danger to them, Lu Jiadong looked up and down a few people in front of him, and then asked with a frown:
"Who the hell are you?"
"We are overseas Chinese mechanics who were captured by the Vietnamese from Cambodia!" Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, the thin and tall man's mouth couldn't help but let out a sad scream, and then two lines of hot tears rolled down his eyes, and his voice became more and more whimpering, and he began to tell the little-known experience of these few people in a miserable and miserable manner:
It turned out that they were all overseas Chinese in Singapore, and in the early years, due to their good family background, they had the opportunity to study in Europe and the United States to learn various advanced technologies, and with Singapore's independence and formalization, they also returned to Singapore one after another, wanting to use the skills they had learned to help this country established by the Chinese in addition to China to achieve industrialization.
However, the unpredictable world backfired, and Singapore, which had just been founded, was also in ruins, and its own small land area was not suitable for large-scale heavy industry projects, but established an export-oriented and entrepot economic development model, which is why it was established.
During this period, they did not want to return to the embrace of the motherland, but the domestic environment at that time was very complicated, and the hostile and xenophobic sentiments were very strong, even if you were a returning patriotic overseas Chinese.
At this time, Singapore's close neighbor Cambodia, under the leadership of Prince Sihanouk, was preparing to industrialize in its own country, and was in dire need of talents in this field, so they threw an olive branch to several people and promised a good reward, and when they discussed it and thought it was feasible, they packed their bags and rushed to Cambodia.
Unexpectedly, only half a year later, Cambodia's situation changed abruptly, first Lon Nol launched a military coup to overthrow Prince Sihanouk's regime, and then Cambodia fell into a continuous civil war, and then the Khmer Rouge came to power, but no matter how the situation in Cambodia changed, their fate remained the same, that is, they were imprisoned by successive regimes.
As for the reason, it is also very simple, they are cronies left over from the previous regime, so they have been in this way for seven or eight years, during this period, the Singapore authorities also hoped through a note that the successive ruling authorities of Cambodia would immediately release these people, but at that time, Cambodia's regime changes were frequent, coupled with civil strife, these notes were basically sunk in the sea, no one responded, and Singapore, because it had just been founded, its own country was small and weak, and it could only issue all kinds of protests about it, and then it was over.
It was not until the end of last year, when the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia, that they saw the light of day again, but he did not bother to look at this sunny day twice, and fell into a nightmare of darkness again, because after learning their identities, the Vietnamese, who were very short of such talents, were immediately overjoyed, and without saying a word, they were loaded into cage trucks and transported to this military factory as goods.
This military factory was a secret project aided by the Soviet Union to Vietnam to increase Vietnam's weapons and equipment production capacity, but although the Soviets provided equipment and machinery, they still kept a hand on Vietnam and did not send experts to guide them, and Vietnam lacked such experts in Vietnam.
Therefore, the Vietnamese authorities forced the Vietnamese in several of their training factories to be beaten severely if they were not light, and if they resisted, they would be executed, and several of them were even locked up in temporary shelters opened for them in the workshop, and every day there would be Vietnamese soldiers with guns watching them, and they would be killed if they were not careful!
"Until a few days ago, this place suddenly became nervous, saying that we Chinese were going to fight, and we had to make the necessary preparations, originally the Vietnamese wanted to transport all these machinery and equipment, but Vietnam had just experienced several major wars, there were not so many vehicles responsible for transportation, they discussed it, decided to install explosives in the cave, and when we Chinese came, press the button and blow it up directly." ”
Saying that, a trace of happiness flashed on the face of the tall and thin man, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face: "They think that we are Chinese, and we can only speak Chinese, not Vietnamese, so they don't shy away from us when we speak, how do you know that some of us can understand Vietnamese!"
Speaking of this, the tall and thin man couldn't help coughing excitedly, Wu Tianming beside him hurriedly handed him the kettle on his body, only to see him take a few sips, and then nodded gratefully to Wu Tianming and continued:
"After we knew about this situation, we discussed such a good machinery and equipment, how could we not let the Vietnamese monkeys destroy it, no matter what, we had to protect it, and then handed it over to our squadron, so after our army launched an attack the day before yesterday, taking advantage of the chaos, we killed the guards who guarded it, and then after they closed the door of the cave, quickly cut the wires, and dismantle several timing explosives!"
"Then after we came in, why didn't you hide and come out!" Wu Tianming obviously hadn't relaxed his vigilance yet, his sharp eyes were always staring at the tall and thin man's every move, but the tall and thin man didn't feel uncomfortable because of it, but replied with a proud smile:
"We thought it was the Vietnamese army who found out that there was no explosion and checked it in reverse, so we hurriedly hid in the vent, and it wasn't until just now that we confirmed that you were the army from the motherland!"
As soon as the tall thin man's voice fell, Wu Tianming looked at Lu Jiadong beside him noncommittally, and Lu Jiadong didn't know what to do, the tall thin man knew that the soldiers in front of him had not fully trusted them, so he nodded and said:
"Although we dismantled the detonating device, but there are too many explosives, we haven't removed a lot of them, if you don't believe me, you can go and see, the vent on the top of the left side of the workshop, under the cabinet on the right side of the inside"
Listening to the words of the tall and thin man, Wu Tianming immediately signaled a few soldiers around him to look for it, and soon a few soldiers who returned gave a positive answer, hearing this exact information, Wu Tianming couldn't help but be frightened into a cold sweat, he was too excited to see this military factory, he didn't think that the Vietnamese army would plant explosive devices, so he didn't check and sent people to block it, if it wasn't for the timely dismantling of several overseas Chinese in front of him, the advanced machinery and equipment in this workshop would be turned into a ball of scrap copper and rotten iron by the explosives of the Vietnamese army.
Because of this, Wu Tianming's originally vigilant look also eased down at this time, and at this time, the man who was so thin and tall suddenly remembered something, and then asked Wu Tianming and Lu Jiadong opposite:
"By the way, did you go to the factory's data room?"
"What kind of data room?" Lu Jiadong was quite puzzled when he heard this, and the thin and tall man didn't feel anything strange when he heard Lu Jiadong's words, but continued with a smile:
"It's not surprising that I didn't find it, the Vietnamese data room was built both strong and hidden, and it is difficult for people who are not familiar with the situation to find it, and the Vietnamese have stored a lot of weapons and equipment production technology and design drawings in it, although the Vietnamese took most of them when they left, but there should still be some weapons and equipment materials that have not had time to be taken."
"Then what are you waiting for? Take us to see it!" Before the tall and thin man finished speaking, Wu Tianming, who was standing opposite him, couldn't wait to say, after all, Wu Tianming had served as a military representative at the Wanshan Military Factory, and he knew better than anyone else the importance of weapons and equipment design materials and drawings.
Lu Jiadong on the side also nodded approvingly, although he felt that it was impossible for the Soviet Union to hand over the core materials of the latest weapons and equipment to Vietnam, but the production materials of these weapons and equipment can also be used as a reference to provide some reference significance for the development and production of the same type of weapons and equipment in the future.
In this way, Lu Jiadong and Wu Tianming, led by a tall and thin man, hurried towards the hidden data room
