Chapter 411: Connections

Song Zichao retreated the battalion headquarters fifteen miles and camped on the outskirts of Hanoi, where the main road from Hai Phong to Hanoi was guarded, and the scout battalion could again block their entry into Hanoi if the 100,000 Vietnamese soldiers in Hai Phong rebelled.

The city of Hanoi has been completely cleared, and now there is no Vietnamese in the whole city except for the Chinese soldiers, and this once lively city has suddenly become an empty city, except for the occasional patrol convoy passing by the street, sometimes there may be nothing moving on the street for most of the day, and at night it is strange and infiltrating.

In the past few days, the diplomats of various countries in the Ba Dinh embassy district have also safely evacuated the city under the arrangement of the Chinese army, and the country of Vietnam no longer exists, so naturally there is no diplomacy, and these people have lost the meaning of staying in Hanoi, and it is only a matter of time before they leave. Now that China and the US imperialists are fighting hotly, these countries are quite face-saving, and after our army completely took control of Hanoi, they took the initiative to pack up their things and leave.

In Hanoi, only the Soviet Union has not left, they can't leave if they want to, the embassy is surrounded by our army layer by layer, there is no way to fly, there is no way to escape, and there is no water, electricity and food, and even domestic waste water cannot be discharged, which has turned this embassy into an isolated island.

Living in an isolated island is painful, and the more people there are, the faster the material is consumed. And the personnel in the embassy miscalculated the situation, they thought that Moscow would quickly rescue them, and no country in the world dared to imprison Soviet diplomats like this, even the Americans did not dare, so the embassy did not ration food, and everyone ate with their bellies open.

By the time they found out that Moscow had not reacted as quickly as they had imagined and could not rescue them, it was too late, and the food reserves in the embassy had bottomed out, and it could not feed hundreds of people for too long.

Not only these are the people who are in charge, but even the imperial capital is very surprised, Moscow actually retreated like this, and its own embassy was surrounded and didn't care, this is not at all the domineering red empire that people recognize. This incident also made the old chiefs of the imperial capital keenly aware that the Soviet Union had been corrupted, although it was still a tiger skin on the outside, but it was empty inside, and they couldn't even find a way to solve the siege of the embassy, but they just sent some incompetent diplomats to negotiate in the imperial capital, but there was no progress except for dragging off time.

If the Soviets sent a million-strong army from the Far East and Mongolia to the south, it is believed that the imperial capital would immediately release the diplomats trapped in the Soviet diplomatic embassy in Hanoi and send them out of the country.

But the Red Empire did not have such a hard spirit, and this country used all its national strength to accumulate troops and materials in Afghanistan, and fought for a blow to take the Indian Peninsula. They simply have no ability to launch any further attacks in the Far East and Mongolia, and even if they only organize manpower and material resources to conduct an exercise, they will have to squeeze every penny out of their teeth for the war in South Asia.

Rather than a direct military threat, Moscow chose to send a diplomatic negotiating team to the imperial capital to fight with the Chinese, which was obviously a matter of benefit and expense, and the Soviets did not even want face in order to save money.

It's just that the diplomats of the Soviet embassy in Hanoi are trapped in the embassy and suffer. Of course, they still have a way out, that is, they raise their hands and walk out of the door to surrender, but this is tantamount to betraying the Soviet Union, and eighty percent of them will be tried and imprisoned when they return home.

Chen Xu and Song Zichao handed over the task, and went back to report to Wang Lie, this guy is now like the emperor of Hanoi, and the entire city has achieved a smooth transition of power under his control, such a great achievement is enough for him to rise one more level, maybe he can be crowned a lieutenant general after going back this time,

In order to cultivate the leadership ability of new generals, the Military Commission promoted a lot of young Zhuang factions, and in the current battlefield in northern Vietnam, all of them are led by a group of young generals, in addition to the general monk who is in charge of the overall situation in Kuncheng, the biggest position in the northern Vietnamese region is Liu Ying of the Long Live Army and Chen Zhuo of the 69th Army, both of whom are with the rank of lieutenant general.

Wang Lie was an infantry division commander of the Banzai Army, and this time he became the commander-in-chief of the whole army's attack on Hanoi, and he was also recommended by Commander Liu Ying, and the monk general was also very optimistic about him. And Major General Wang Lie also lived up to expectations this time, showing excellent ability to control the situation at the beginning of the war, and he could easily command thousands of troops and horses.

Although Liu Ying and Chen Zhuo are now higher in military rank than him, with the start of the South Asian War, the Indian Peninsula will become Wang Lie's chessboard, on which he will command the large corps to fight against the Soviet army, and after the war, the position of general is in his pocket.

In addition, this guy is out of the Long Live Army, backed by the strongest army in the country, with strong ability and heavy power, it is not impossible to join the Military Commission.

In the face of such a promising general, although Chen Zhuo did not deal with Wang Lie and belonged to a completely different Shantou faction in the army, he would not offend him and tried his best to cooperate with Wang Lie's decision-making in Hanoi.

There is a strict hierarchy in the army, which also breeds the problem of intertwined factional struggles, and there are endless struggles between different military regions, which even the Military Commission cannot solve, and can only be used as lubricants to adjust from it.

Although the equipment of the 69th Army is one of the best in the country, it has only been formed for a short time, and its personnel have all been recruited from all military regions across the country, and the internal factional struggle is the most serious of all the group armies in the country.

Fortunately, Chen Zhuo is an old bureaucrat, although he acts toughly, he is also the best at leveling the bowl of water, although the officers at all levels in the army are fighting in private, but they are very friendly in front of Chen Zhuo.

The Chen family is very good at being an official, but they can't fight a war, Chen Zhuo led the 69th Army to fight this time, in fact, he was just acting in accordance with the military plan of the Central Military Commission in advance, and there were almost no other superfluous actions.

Compared with the Banzai Army, it is different, because the group army is united, and Lieutenant General Liu Ying can naturally make more decisions, such as sending troops to Cam Ranh Bay outside the plan of the Military Commission. Such a risky action, not to mention the gains and losses of the political interests behind it, just in terms of control over the troops, Chen Zhuo would not dare to do this!

And Chen Xu also knows that he can't fight, let alone command the army, he is a modern version of Zhao Kuo.

Fortunately, Chen Xu didn't have the so-called factional struggle in his mind, he only knew that since Wang Lie knew how to lead the overall situation, he would definitely not make a mistake if he listened to his command.

Chen Zhuo has his own factional support in the army, especially the South Hunan Military Region, which is the only one who looks forward to him.

And the Long Live Army belongs to the Imperial Capital Military Region, and it is the Imperial Forest Army of the Flower Family, Chen Zhuo, who is the commander, is of course not good to come forward to listen to Wang Lie's command, although Wang Lie's every order is just right, so it is not only a self-surrender status, but also a dissatisfaction with the 69th Army.

And because of Chen Xu's transcendent status, he is the parent of the 69th Army, and the whole army has to rely on him to eat, plus he is young, so the group army maintains the maximum tolerance for everything he does.

Chen Xu listened to Wang Lie's command and dispatched the 69th Army to carry out military tasks in the northern part of Vietnam, and the group army did not have the problem of losing face, Chen Xu was Chen Xu, and no one dared not to give him face.

After all, it is still ambiguous whether Wang Lie can join the Military Commission in the future, but as long as Chen Xu is willing, he will be able to enter the Military Commission 100%.

Wang Lie is a façade figure pushed up and down by the Imperial Capital Military Region, and he is just such a backer.

And Chen Xu not only has the support of the southern military regions such as the Hunan Military Region and the Guangyue Military Region, but also has the navy and air force as his backers, and Wang Lieke is 108,000 miles away in terms of personal connections.

It is also thanks to Chen Xu who does not care about personal gains and losses, and is willing to cooperate, so that Wang Lie can easily command the Banzai Army and the 69th Army to carry out tasks in Hanoi, otherwise the monk general must come over in person to suppress the proud generals of the two armies, but the veteran will come out, and everyone will listen to the general, so the idea that the Military Commission wants to train the younger generation of generals will be in vain.
