"You mean you need me to get heavy equipment for you before you can pledge allegiance to me?" Sihanouk was silent for a long time when he heard the words of the two in front of him before he asked coldly.

Everyone in the Khmer wanted to find him, because he was once the king of the Khmer and had a very high reputation in the country, so after the coup d'état of Lon Nol, he went into exile in China for several years, and was able to serve as the nominal supreme leader of the country when Pol Pot did not control the whole country.

So, all parties want to use him, and he knows very well.

Seeing Sihanouk's unkind expression and the great dissatisfaction in his tone, Ding Donghai said very seriously, "No, Your Majesty, Nipu Dosan is an inseparable part of the Khmer Kingdom, because of your kindness, you have given us Chinese a high degree of autonomy, but we still belong to the Khmer, and you are still our king......"

Ding Donghai's words did not dispel Sihanouk's doubts.

"Your Majesty, we have been searching for your whereabouts for a long time, and we hope that you will lead us in driving out the Vietnamese invaders and rescuing the people of the country living under the policy of Terror in Chimian......," Ding Donghai said the truth.

After all, Sihanouk's status in the Khmer is indeed very high.

Moreover, the Chinese mainland only recognizes Prince Sihanouk, which is why Prince Sihanouk was able to go into exile in China during the great domestic turmoil and was very well settled. It's not that he doesn't want to go to China this time, it's that China is a little far away from Cambodia.

To a large extent, China's attack on Vietnam was also aimed at putting military pressure on Vietnam's Le Duan, allowing him to transfer elite elites from the Khmer to China to defend against the PLA's attack. The strategic goal was achieved, but the Pol Pot government did not want him to return to the position of the country's top leader.

"The Chinese side told you my whereabouts?" Whether these words are true or not, no one can confirm.

But his whereabouts are indeed very secretive, those who know. Definitely not too much, and it's still often transferred.

"Yes, Your Majesty. After the liberation of Nipudosang from Zhao Chuanxiang, we began to actively prepare to drive out the invading Vietnamese monkeys, so we need weapons and equipment. Previously, because there was no way to contact you, we went to China ourselves, and the Chinese government officials simply ignored us. Saying that this is our country's internal affair, unless Your Majesty the King personally comes forward to ......" Ding Donghai told the matter one by one.

He didn't want to hide it from Sihanouk in the first place.

In the Khmer, they did not think about creating a state on their own.

Of course, this is the idea now, and they have all thought like that before. But the management of local administrative affairs. It's too difficult for those of them who were born to be war.

Even big battles, it was very difficult for them to deal with them.

To drive out the Vietnamese monkeys and take the opportunity to occupy some of the monkeys' territory is a protracted matter for them, which requires a stable rear and the full support of the whole country.

"......" heard Ding Donghai's words without the slightest reservation. Sihanouk, on the other hand, did not know what to say. In the end, he wanted to break the embarrassment. A very embarrassing question was raised: "Minister Ding, I heard that before this, you were a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army......"

Ding Donghai was stunned when he heard this.

But this thing has to be faced.

Turning his head to look at the people around him, Sihanouk had no intention of letting them out. After all, these are all his henchmen, so he simply turned his heart and said very seriously to Sihanouk: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this. If not to help the Khmer fight back against the invaders, to help the Khmer liberate. We are still the most elite member of China's PLA. And now we are traitors, we are a disgrace to the country! Of course, this matter has nothing to do with our country, but because our instructors have left the PLA sequence by ourselves after soliciting our own will......"

Since Ding Donghai has the nickname of a professor, he will naturally not be unable to deal with these things here.

For them, such half-truths and half-truths are the easiest to believe.

If the state had sent them, Sihanouk would have had the channels to confirm it, and they came here, not for the Khmer, but for China.

Why he came here, only Liu Yijiu knew it, and even Yang Wei and Xia Zhentao were not clear.

"You instructors? Isn't it your government? Iggy asked, frowning.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with our country, we came here as volunteers." Xia Zhentao straightened his chest and said loudly.

"Why did your instructor let you come?" Although it has been explained, Iggy does not believe that it is so simple, after all, the destructive power of these people has been demonstrated, and a large number of Chinese educated youth are entering Nipudosan through the winding road.

If these people were sent by the Chinese government, they might believe that, after all, the friendship between China and the Khmer has been tested and proven by time.

"Who are your instructors? Do you have any personal relationship with me? "Sihanouk met a lot of people in China, and many of them had a very good relationship with him.

Even if it is not for the Chinese government to help them, it can be regarded as his friends who support his cause.

"Liu Yijiu. His Majesty may not know this name, but I think his father, you should know, he is Mr. Liu Suzhi, a patriotic Chinese, and many Chinese scientists in the United States and Europe have returned to China and have nothing to do with him...... "Ding Donghai knows some inside information, and this Liu Yijiu is not sure, but now, in order to win Sihanouk's trust, he has to carry Liu Suzhi out.

Hearing this name, Sihanouk's face suddenly became wonderful.

"Liu Yijiu? He's in your troops now? Sihanouk didn't ask Liu Suzhi, but asked Liu Yijiu directly, which made Ding Donghai not expect that His Majesty the King actually knew their instructor!

"Mr. Liu Suzhi has been very helpful to me and to the whole of Cambodia. If it weren't for the fact that I hadn't listened to his advice and hadn't been on guard against Lon No. We Khmer are not ......like this," Sihanouk said very lonely, "and Liu Yijiu is a very good young man, and I had dinner with him when I was in China......"

That being the case. It's a lot simpler.

Liu Suzhi's help to Cambodia, his personal friendship with Prince Sihanouk, and even the independence of the entire Khmer are inextricably linked.

This is the highest state secret of the entire Khmer, and not many people know about these things, and it is even more impossible for this young man in front of him to know these things from any channel. Moreover, Liu Yijiu sent people here, and Sihanouk also felt that this was very normal.

"You can go back first. After reorganizing the army, after liberating the whole country, I will still give Niptosan a high degree of autonomy. At the same time, I will go to China as soon as possible to persuade the Chinese state leaders to support us in the use of a batch of weapons and equipment for our country, and the cause of our nation's liberation ......" At the end, Sihanouk promised Ding Donghai very seriously.

This matter is so easy that Ding Donghai doesn't believe it.

Even Iggy. It is not clear why His Majesty would agree to their request so easily, once the Chinese power grows in the country. In the end, it was not a good thing for the whole of Khmer.

"Your Majesty, should this matter be reconsidered? They are Chinese, and they are traitors......" After Ding Donghai and Wu Feng left, Yiji said worriedly.

He couldn't understand why His Majesty would agree to these things so easily. When the time comes, once the Chinese power rises and dominates the war to liberate the whole country, then. The whole of Khmer will be controlled by these people.

"They betrayed their homeland for the liberation of our Khmer, and for us, they are our heroes!" Sihanouk said to his chief very seriously, "This matter is very secret. Not many people know, if it weren't for the support of Mr. Liu Suzhi back then, our independence movement would not have been so easy, and besides, I would not have been able to inherit the throne. He has made suggestions on our country's armament and even nation-building, but we did not seriously implement it according to his intentions......"

Iggie is not only the heartfelt head of the palace, but also his eldest brother.

is a very reliable person, and some secrets of the royal family can be told to him.

Only a very small number of people know the inside story.

If it weren't for Liu Suzhi's suggestion, Prince Sihanouk's relationship with China would not have reached that level, after all, it is in the best interests of their country to follow the United States like Thailand and Laos.

The Khmer does not have a border with China.

The next day, Prince Sihanouk conveyed to the U.S. government through the U.S. ambassador to Thailand that they wanted to receive large-scale arms assistance, but the Americans refused.

The Americans supported him, only with limited support, with only a small amount of money each year and verbal support at the international level. Americans are very realistic, and actual actions cost money.

"Taxpayers' money must not be wasted in places that have nothing to do with the United States. Although supporting their weapons and equipment can deal a very big blow to the arrogant Vietnamese monkeys, or at least cause them a lot of trouble, it is not in our interest. Vietnam War, we have long since given up......" President Carter thought Sihanouk's request was simply whimsical.

This is not possible for the entire U.S. government.

It is simply impossible to get a congressional mandate.

"Mr. President, perhaps we can suggest that they request military assistance from China. Sihanouk had a very good relationship with the Chinese government, and the Chinese government once said in public in front of many ambassadors to China that the Chinese government would always recognize Sihanouk as the head of state of the Khmer and would never agree with others! Major General Mister, who had been transferred to the presidential palace as a special adviser, suggested to Mr. President.

He is instinctively worried about China's rise.

It was precisely because of his suggestion that the original full-scale project of the model of peace would come to an abrupt halt and everything would become very calm.

They did not want to unite with China to drag down the Soviet Union, drag the Soviet Union down, but let China rise.

Moreover, they instinctively believe that China's true strength will never be what they appear to be.

The new cannon steel technology, they got it, until now, they have not figured out how the Chinese made such a material formula and process, especially after they got the sample material, there is no way to reverse the performance to produce the process.

The Chinese have a habit of hiding things from the beginning, and it is difficult to leave spies in the country, and in the end, the Chinese' anti-armor missiles and anti-aircraft missiles are far beyond their understanding.

A strong China is absolutely not in the interests of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region and even in the world as a whole, especially after the fall of the USSR.

This kind of thing, thrown to China, can effectively drag down the progress of China's economic construction, and China is short of money!

Especially at the moment, Sihanouk has lost ten years from the throne and has run out of money on hand.

"The Chinese are now fully engaged in economic assumptions, and many domestic military production units have been transformed, and they will agree to such a huge military equipment aid?" Carter did not think that the Chinese would do anything too inconsistent with the national interest.

You must know that Sihanouk hoped to receive military assistance with light and heavy equipment that could arm ten divisions, which was a very large expense.

The Chinese government has been running a deficit all these years, and they are willing to do such a stupid thing without getting any benefits?

"They will. For them, helping their heartfelt little brother is far more important than the interests of their own country. What's more, if the Khmer can attract more Vietnamese troops, it will be a very good thing for China. Mister said with certainty.

Carter was tempted.

During his presidency, he has not achieved much.

If we can trick the Chinese and hinder the Chinese's progress in economic construction, President Carter's name will once again be remembered by all Americans during the declassification of the archives fifty years later.

He went to trap the Chinese for the sake of the whole country regardless of personal honor and disgrace.

He was a hero of the entire American Republic.

"Then I'll communicate with the Chinese leaders......" Carter gritted his teeth and said, "No, I'll talk to Sihanouk first and tell him that it's best to be able to build Chinese help, the United States is too far away, we can send ships to help them deliver weapons and equipment from China, and our Pacific Fleet can escort their weapons and equipment......"

Americans would never have thought that what they thought they were doing to trap China was actually falling into a trap that some people had drawn up a long time ago. (To be continued......)
