……

Hanoukville, the largest port city in Funan, is more than 200 kilometers away from the capital, so on January 10, when the forces of Prince Hanouk's faction took control of this strategic location, the battle of Bak Nang was already close at hand.

After the initial defeat and even the retreat of the Annam Navy, it still did not give up the idea of attacking Hanoukville Harbor, and tried several times to break through the blockade line starting from Phu Quoc Island in a more covert way.

Since you are poor, then I will be a thief.

Lu Xiaohu commanded the luxury fleet to use missiles, and made Saigon, the largest city in southern Annam, raise the air raid sirens every day from late January.

The implication of this move is very obvious: this is different from the past, don't think that Lao Tzu has no way to do anything about your homeland, if you play that rogue trick again, then everyone will completely break the jar!

As the side with the most destructive power, it is always the easiest to obtain deterrence, and the battle of Funan Sea has entered a state of confrontation again.

On the land side, the combat troops assembled at the port of Hanoukville, with armored forces as the core and guerrillas as the guides, set out for Baibao from February onwards, steadily and steadily, and in less than a week they were under the city, trying to attract the troops of Annan and his puppet regime to a decisive battle.

With a land area of more than 180,000 square kilometers, Funan has been poor and weak after years of war and turmoil, which makes Baibao, which was called the "Pearl of Asia" by the West before the 1960s, have irreplaceable importance.

Therefore, the goal of the armed forces of Prince Hanouk's faction is to take the capital before the rainy season arrives; But once Annan's side loses 100 bags, it means that years of occupation of Funan will come to naught.

As a result, the two sides that had no way to retreat, from the moment they received fire, did not hesitate to want to kill their opponents.

In 1975, the United States completely retreated from the Hundred Sacs. It's not that the place isn't worth the cost of it. If it's Iraq, give it a try?

Now that Tang Huan has invested, he must manage enough in all aspects and feed himself, and then create a de facto ultra-luxury "multinational force" with only one mission. That is to fight hard, and strive to complete the battle.

The small Battle of the Hundred Bags looked like the Gulf War a few years later in the original time and space, and expensive fireworks burst out one after another.

Now, the ancient city of Baibao has suffered - those who do it have no scruples, and those who are heartbroken cannot speak--they have been completely bathed by the flames of war.

……

The Iran-Iraq war, which had entered the stage of attrition, was inevitably tedious, but fortunately, Funan, which suddenly surged at the beginning of this year, successfully took over, attracting the attention of the Western media, and war correspondents rushed to the scene.

If only it had been before. Even if they are interested, they do not have very effective channels to obtain first-hand information; But now the situation is different, and the port of Hanoukville has opened the door of reception.

Not surprisingly, CNN and Media Asia reporters have been the most accommodated of all the media outlets. But it also has to follow the same rules, and the news of the battlefield can be delayed for at least a week before it can be sent to the public.

Journalists, of course, will not be so honest in doing so, racking their brains to send "precious" first-hand information back to the owner.

That's it, ordinary people of this era. There is a chance to witness a 100% just war.

With the support of strong and domineering forces, the right to speak in righteousness began to be infinitely improved.

The brutality of the invasion of Annan's army a few years ago has not been forgotten. Coupled with the huge propaganda effect set off by Prince Hanouk's letter to compatriots and the **** order, the undercurrent inside the hundred bags is surging, and the defensive rift is getting bigger and bigger.

In the original time and space, Prince Hanouk had no political appeal, but no military strength; Now the pen and gun are perfectly merged. The momentum of its faction is becoming more and more vigorous, and it can be said that it is full of people and invincible in Funan.

Finally, on March 18, 1985, the Annam army, which had suffered heavy losses, de facto broke away from the White Bag theater. What is left is the ruins and broken tiles created by the two sides.

Looking at the capital that has almost become a blank field, there are many complaints within Prince Hanouk's faction, thinking that Han Anyuan's offensive action is a bit too hasty, and maybe he can win the opportunity for peaceful liberation, and then he can protect this ancient city to the greatest extent.

During the meeting with Tang Huan, Prince Ranarih implicitly raised this point, with a look of regret on his face.

The other party went to New York this time for the purpose of Funan's representative qualification in the United Nations.

Although the puppet regime supported by Annan was recognized by the Eastern European bloc led by the Soviet Union, the United Nations did not agree, but it was bitter that there was no card in its hand to counteract, so it had to acquiesce to the people.

Now that Prince Hanouk's armed forces have seized the capital, the United Nations can't wait to transfer its delegates, and the other two forces can only stare at and see that they have completely lost the right to speak in the orthodox world, but this is the trend of the times, and the resistance is ineffective.

After listening to what the other party said, Tang Huan slowly spoke: "The property is gone, I can find it again; But the fighter plane is fleeting, and the casualties are irreversible attrition, and once it is lost, the prince will probably not have the opportunity to meet me in this five-star hotel. Do you say yes? ”

Infighting is everywhere, Tang Huan will not deal with such hypocrisy, and the group of adventurers who are willing to spill their blood in Funan gathered by himself are the most valuable resources - a sword in wartime and a seed after the war. Even the slightest loss made his heart ache.

Besides, the white sac was destroyed by the war, and it was not the fault of his own side, and Annan was also ruthless, and he had the ability to go to them.

It is too wishful thinking to want to seize a moral high ground in infighting in this way.

Hearing the sonorous tone in Tang Huan's tone, Prince Lanarie, who was originally tempting, immediately laughed, and said according to Tang Huan's meaning: "Yes, Tang can see it thoroughly." ”

At the end of the day, infighting also has to be eye-catching. The military strength of Prince Hanouk's faction has gone from being unable to support the wall in the mud before, and now it can compete head-on with Annan, relying on the combination of the richest man Tang Huan and the nephew and uncle of Funan, Han Anyuan.

The two sides tacitly opened the page, crossed over this meaningless topic, and talked about the situation in other aspects of Funan.

The next military objective was to sweep away the remnants of the major cities around Tonle Sap Lake, such as Battambang, Pursat, Siem Reap, Kampong Thom, and Kampong Chhnang, and drive Annam's army to the east and southeast of Funan and the border with Vietnam.

The momentum of a big victory is already underway. Annan, whose national strength is empty, can't afford to be poor even if he wants to get back to the field.

The real thorny issue is the development of the domestic political situation in Funan, which is beginning to become the main contradiction:

After the restoration of the country, what kind of power structure will be set up next?

Prince Hanouk's **** order has a very significant effect, but how to deal with the subtleties on a case-by-case basis?

The people of Cambodia will not tolerate the international community. But in fact, his relationship with many parties, including Prince Hanouk, is entangled, which is really a hot potato that is not easy to deal with.

……

After listening quietly for a long time, Tang Huan opened his mouth to test the views of Funan natives like Prince Ranariddh on the idea of Hanoukville Port becoming a special administrative region. It's one of his return on investment, and of course keep an eye on it.

"Economic development is an important task after the war, and the establishment of a special zone should be a good idea." Prince Lanariddhid's attitude was clear.

……

The prince is always pampered, Tang Huan arranged a rich nest for Ranarith, let him deal with those face-saving affairs, and then continued to shuttle through various high-end social places.

Among all the people interviewed. World Bank President Alden Clausen and IMF Managing Director Jacques Dejan are the most important.

Tang Huan didn't want to talk to the other party about anything right away, but to take a forward stand, so as to transfer these resources to his brother-in-law Han Anyuan, so as to further increase the prestige of this concubine master in Funan.

As long as he grasps the barrel of the gun and the money bag, Tang Huan's investment in Funan will have a solid basis for a return -- the 180,000 square kilometers of land and the population of more than 6 million are still available for him to do a lot.

In his busy schedule, Tang Huan also had to go to Harvard University to participate in the signing of "The Fantasy Journey of Zen Martial Arts" according to the arrangement of Stirling Press.

Just right. His company has recently been hiring on a large scale there, so it's a good time to see the results.

Tang Huan increasingly needed the help of his subordinates, who were fluent in several foreign languages, to deal with his growing number of documents. For the people around him, he prefers to start training from graduates, and hopes that this time the human resources department can send a few more good seedlings.

After making a short speech, Tang Huan, the richest man, began to work as a coolie, signing the same autographs, so that from time to time there were eye-catching chicks to send admiration. It's not too boring.

"Thank you, just write 'Gift to Masako Wada'." A crisp female voice came into his ears, and although Tang Huan lowered his head, he also knew that there was another chick.

"Thank you for reading my book." Tang Huan said casually while signing according to the other party's request.

When he looked up. I couldn't help but feel moved, and asked more in Japanese with a smile, "A girl who came to Harvard from Japan to study for a degree?" ”

"Yes, I graduated from my bachelor's degree in June this year." Masako Wada nodded, looking cheerful, elegant and quiet with a different kind of vitality, which was quite different from the perception of ordinary Japanese girls to Tang Huan.

"What are your plans after graduation?" Tang Huan quietly pressed the book and continued to ask, "Go back to Japan, or find a job here in the United States?" ”

"I should go back to Japan." Masako Wada felt that Tang Huan's attitude towards herself seemed to be different from others, and she couldn't help but feel like a deer, and became a little nervous, so she subconsciously went to get the book, but she didn't twitch.

"What about when you return to Japan?" Tang Huan smiled slightly, "I also go to Japan often, maybe we have a chance to meet again." ”

The two of them came and went and talked for such a long time, not only the assistant next to him had a different face, but even the people behind him noticed that something was unusual.

Some of these young people whistled for fear of the chaos in the world, and even simply coaxed: "Don, are you here for a signing or a date?" ”

Masako Wada looked embarrassed, and hurriedly whispered, "You've already signed it, right?" ”

Tang Huan laughed and picked up the book, "Masako, we hit it off at first sight, why don't we have a meal together?" ”

Masako Wada took back her book hard, said "thank you" noncommittally, turned around and left, Tang Huan quickly got up and followed, leaving the others at the signing party to talk about it.

……

In an elegant restaurant, Masako Wada, who was sitting opposite Tang Huan, laughed softly: "Isn't this good?" ”

"It's okay, the rest of the book lovers, I can find a way to make up for it, but if I meet Masako in the vast sea of people, and forget about each other, then I can't make up for this regret." Tang Huan waved his hand freely and honestly what he thought, which made Masako Wada secretly feel a sense of pride in being valued.

Seeing that Masako Wada hung her head shyly and refused to talk, Tang Huan crossed the topic with understanding and discussed with the other party to order food.

During the chat, Tang Huan continued the topic at the previous signing meeting, "Masako, you haven't answered me yet, what are your plans after returning to Japan?" ”

"I guess I'm applying for the civil service exam." There was a hint of uncertainty in Masako Wada's reply.

"What is Masako's current major at Harvard?" Tang Huan handed the menu to the waiter.

"Mathematical economics is a theory that uses mathematical models to conduct economic analysis and explain economic phenomena." Speaking of this, Masako Wada smiled, "You may be more proficient in this field. ”

"Why is there such an inference?" Tang Huan asked sexually while pouring juice for the other party.

"Weren't you the first inventor to launch spreadsheet software? I'm writing my dissertation, and I'm using your company's computer and software to process the collected economic data a lot of the time, which is very useful, so I'm sure you're familiar with this field. Masako Wada bit the straw and replied playfully.

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, "What is your paper about?" ”

"A study of the impact of the oil crisis on the Japanese economy since the 1970s is called "The Impact of External Environmental Adjustments on the Import Prices of Japanese Oil Trade."

Speaking of this, Masako Wada's eyes flickered and pleaded: "Why don't you give me some references." ”

"Then I'll ask you who your instructor is, so that I don't have to make a big joke too much." Tang Huan is also not modest, and is ready to be a teacher.

"My advisor was Professor Jeffrey Sachs, and I also consulted Professor Ezra Vogel ****** whenever I had the opportunity." When Masako Wada answered, her face was full of confidence.

"Oh, they're all famous people." Tang Huan shook his head and smiled.

Jeffrey Sachs is the American economist who famously proposed "shock therapy", and if history follows the trajectory, he will soon be able to advise Bolivia on its way out of the economic crisis.

In 1979, he published a book entitled "Japan First: Implications for the United States", which caused quite a stir.

"Okay, then I'll just talk about it." Teacher Tang said with a deep groan. (To be continued.) )
