Chapter 137: Laos Independence

"What about Laos?" Wu Shan glanced at him: "This matter should depend on the meaning of your officials in Laos." ”

Su Fanu hesitated: "If, I said that if we are a Lao country? ”

One of the following stood up: "The Prince's meaning says, we have established a country, and we ask your country to defend our land." ”

"Oh?" Wu Shan thought it was interesting: "What's your name?" ”

This glance passed, and the frightened man lowered his head: "My name is Kantay, the secretary of the Central Committee of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party." ”

"Well," Wu Shan nodded lightly: "Who else has the same idea?" ”

The people couldn't figure out the meaning of these words for a while, and they all kept silent.

"I am a soldier and a member of the Communist Party of China." Wu Shan didn't look at the bottom anymore, but only looked at the desktop in front of him, as if the table was more interesting than the people below: "In our party, there is a principle of democratic centralism. Everyone can talk freely. Besides, if I can't be the master, and our Commander Liu is here, I can also ask Commander Liu. As a last resort, I can report directly to Jingshi. After all, this is a matter between countries, and it is not something that my small brigade commander can decide in one word. ”

The people of Laos were relieved and whispered one by one.

Su Fanu fidgeted because he saw Wu Shan looking at him with a smile.

"Quiet, quiet, everyone!" Su Fanu cleared his throat: "We are in a meeting, not a discussion time. ”

"Your Majesty, if you establish a kingdom again, will it be dominated by the prince? It is still dominated by our People's Party. Cantay jumped out again.

"This, naturally, is discussed." Su Fanu was stunned for a moment, and replied casually: "After all, we have been fighting on both sides for decades, and as a result, the Annan army has taken advantage of the loophole. Otherwise, how could their army easily reach Vientiane? ”

"Really?" Wu Shan sneered: "It seems that before you even fought, Annan invaded two-thirds of your country's territory." ”

He is right, in history, when Laos got rid of the invasion of the Japanese and French, the territory was much less than in history.

In 1827, Emperor Ming Ming of Annam took advantage of the war between King Anu of Vientiane and Siam, and immediately sent troops to divide the Lao kingdom and seize a large territory.

In May 1827, the Siamese army invaded Vientiane City, and the Nguyen Dynasty could not wait to force Lao to appoint Chao Anu as the defense envoy of Zhenning in the name of "voluntary annexation" in June, and commanded seven counties.

Zhao Anu took the people and fields to the Nguyen Dynasty, and then annexed the Vientiane region by the same means, and set up the town of Jing Mansion there.

Invaded and occupied the Sangn area of Huaphan Province, and set up two prefectures there, Zhenman and Zhenbian.

The Khammou region was seized, and the Tranquil Mansion was set up there.

Forcibly seized the area of Savannakhet and set up Rakuen Phu and Manna Kyushu there.

In just over a year, the Nguyen Dynasty annexed about two-thirds of Laos' territory.

It can be said that the entire history of Laos has been either internal warlords fighting each other, or annexed to China, or annexed by neighboring countries.

"At that time, because we didn't have a strong guarantee of force." Kandai froze, and his tone was a little flattering: "Isn't there your country's army here now?" I believe that no country will ever dare to invade our country again. ”

Wu Shan was noncommittal: "Then after the founding of the People's Republic of China, how should you develop the economy of Laos?" After all, it is impossible for us in China to put our troops in another country indefinitely. ”

Liu Taimeng has always been watching his nose and nose at first, but since he came here, he didn't want to leave. If you want to go, you can go, we have so many troops in China, you can't say thank you and let us go back.

Hearing that Brigade Commander Wu, who has always been brave and diligent, seems to really have the intention of returning it unconditionally.

His heart jumped, and he looked at Wushan in puzzlement. Our Witch Brigade Commander calmed down and gave him a reassuring look.

"Our country's resources are still very rich," Su Fanu triumphantly said: "You can cut down trees, mine resources, and sell them for money." ”

Our Wu Brigade Commander has already regarded Laos as China's forbidden territory in his heart, and when he heard this, he was angry in his heart and called him a loser.

Laos is located in the tropics, yes, trees do grow fast. The faster the tree, the lower the economic value. And what kind of trees with high economic value do not need to grow for decades?

Besides, mineral resources are non-renewable resources. How many years can you mine hard? What about after mining? What will be left to future generations is desolation.

Khamtay was very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Wushan's unswerving face, he interrupted the prince's words.

He shook his head there and said a lot, presumably that Khamtay often gave presentations at his party congresses. The eloquence is not bad, but unfortunately, in the end, even he himself doesn't know what Lu Dao is talking about, and there is no substantive content.

Mrs. Liu was bored and yawned. When Khamtay saw this, he immediately stopped.

"It's good, these ideas are good." Wu Shan stood up: "Commander, let's go." The comrades in Laos have a lot of ideas, and we should go back. This time we are here to attend the wedding of Mr. Hua Anping and Miss Su Fa Yangliu, and we have been bothering for a long time and say goodbye! ”

While speaking, Liu Taimeng had already put on his military hat and was the first to leave the table.

That's it? The Lao dignitaries attending the meeting were shocked.

"Commander Liu, please stay!" Su Fanu was in a hurry and grabbed Liu Taimeng's clothes.

Kindness? Liu Taimeng swept over with a dissatisfied look, and Su Fanu immediately let go of his hand: "There is something to discuss, Commander Liu, please take a seat." ”

Wushan also put on his hat and prepared to leave.

There has to be a sequence in this walk, and it is natural for Liu Taimeng to walk in front.

"Prince, let's discuss." Commander Liu's face was not good: "This is your Lao country's family affairs, I am a Chinese soldier!" ”

Isn't? From the beginning to the end, the Chinese army has never said anything about helping you liberate Laos, build a country, or anything. What do all the things they are discussing hotly have to do with the Chinese?

Everyone came here for Hua Anping's sake. What kind of face do you Laos have? An Annam militia unit, in Vientiane City, is powerful, and I don't see you showing half of your dissatisfaction.

It is true that Hua Anping is the commander-in-chief of the Shenlong Army, but he is Chinese. China's military, for its own soldiers, as a matter of course.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Su Fanu had already stood up, and all the Laotian participants below stood up in disbelief: "We still need the help of your army." Besides, isn't your army fighting with Annam's army? ”

Small, how about playing with me? I also made a threat, but unfortunately, I didn't eat it.

"Won't it?" Wu Shan pretended to be surprised: "Annan, like our China, is a socialist country, how can there be any reason to fight a fraternal country?" When was the fight? Commander, do you know the truth? ”

Bullshit brother country, Laos people have long been scolded in their hearts. Aren't China and the USSR also fraternal countries? Not the same to dry?

Seeing that Brigade Commander Wu was playing tricks here, Liu Taimeng was about to hold back his internal injuries, and Mu Ran shook his head.

"I'll just say it," Wu Shan spread his hands: "When Anti-Sam came to aid Annan, we have been fighting side by side." ”

"Those Annam people from the Vientiane Garrison Command?" Khamtay couldn't help but chime down there.

"Ah, you said those people. Yes, yes, I started by asking everyone to come back. Wushan pretended to be mysterious: "Because we have found that people in socialist countries can change their mistakes." They felt that they had done unforgivable things in Vientiane and committed suicide en masse. ”

After saying that, I couldn't help but sigh twice, and I seemed to be very sorry.

From the beginning to the end, the Chinese military did not disclose its plan to attack Annan. Commander Liu just waited in the inner house and asked if the garrison commander had come. What are they asking, how dare Su Fanu find a reason?

Mass suicide? The devil believed it. The point is that everyone knows that this matter must be related to the Chinese army, but there is no evidence at all. If there is really evidence, is China afraid of Annan?

Let's go, Su Fanu can't help but be discouraged, this prince is not appropriate, what does it mean to be scared all day long?

As long as you are human, you will have your own dignity. The same is true for Laos. Now they are all forced into a corner by Wushan, and they can't help but be unconvinced.

Greedy and in love with the trough, he will be beaten by chickens and eggs in the end, and he will become a prisoner of the Annam people again.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to resist, but they can't resist the Annanites.

"I don't deserve this prince," Su Fanu seemed to be drained of all his strength for a moment: "From now on, my faction will only be the head of China." ”

The words have been made clear, but the fig leaf at the back of the curtain has not been lifted.

Hearing the words of the former prince of Laos, Khamtay was struck by lightning and suddenly spread out on his seat.

He has a Lao People's Revolutionary Party, and all the members of the party are less than 100,000. On the map, a place as big as a little thumb is not very populous. After years of war, many Laotian people either fled to China or took refuge in other countries.

And the Annan army, known as three million, is a behemoth for Laos.

Su Fanu was the nominal leader of Laos before, and even he relented, what else could Khamtay do?

"On behalf of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party, I support China's rule." Kanti is even more ruthless, didn't you Su Fanu make a statement first? I'm going to peel off the veil.

"Those who know the times are Junjie!" Wushan applauded softly, and Liu Taimeng also breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand your thoughts. Don't you just want to use our Chinese army to help you restore your country? The reason? Why should we in China support your region free of charge? Oh, sorry, it's the country. However, the whole Laos is about the same size as our other area. ”

Everyone's hearts are cold, don't the Chinese look down on us here?

As if seeing their question, Wu Shan continued to answer: "Laos, to be honest, we are really not interested. As we all know, there is still a remnant of the Kuomintang in this area, and we must encircle and annihilate it. If you want to invite our Chinese army to help you defend the country, I'm sorry, even the Beijing division has to consider our opinions. ”

"Can you go to war with trees? Can you use minerals to fight? He further analyzed: "Do you have the guns and ammunition needed for the war?" It's all money. If our brothers die here, the pension is a big deal. Wake up, everyone, the stupid thing of gratuitous assistance will not be done again. ”

"Commander, what do you think?" Wu Shan kicked the ball to Liu Taimeng.

Everyone sat down again, and Commander Liu seemed to be particularly reluctant: "Everyone, you are all giving me problems." This matter must first be reported to Jingshi. I'm just a small army commander, how can I have so much power to call the shots? ”

Then, Liu Taimeng changed his words: "On behalf of the people of Laos, I thank you for your decision. At this critical moment, everyone made the most correct choice. China, China, has the ability to protect the safety of its people's lives and property, and to defend its territory from infringement. ”

What? On behalf of the Lao people? Aren't you incapable of being the master? These Laotian magnates want to cry without tears.

It was hard to tell who was pretending to be red-faced, so Wu Shan hooked the words back: "Monopoly, congratulations." Everyone's property can be discounted, and the state will take it. All resources must be nationalized. Rest assured, the country will not miss a penny to anyone. Because in our country, individuals cannot appropriate the resources of the state. ”

At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Didn't everyone who used to fight a civil war just want to have more assets? Now, all those lands and stuff are exchanged for cash and put in your pockets.

When Liu Taimeng said these words in Wushan, he was really taken aback. Isn't that fun? Each of these people occupies a large area of land, and if it is really nationalized, how much will it cost?

Suddenly, I remembered Yan Huang behind him, as well as various businesses that were currently engaged in construction in the occupied area, and I couldn't help but feel relieved.

If anyone else, it is impossible for him to have the confidence to say this, and Wushan said it just right.

He thought of all the plans, paid this part of the money on behalf of the state, and deducted it from the money handed over to the state every year in the future.

"Nominally, however, you are still the head of Laos." Wu Shan thought thoughtfully: "In that case, we can come in in the name of the Volunteer Army." If you suddenly say that you will join China, you will definitely be engaged in a lawsuit in the international community. This place has been occupied by Annam. ”

On April 28, 1977, Prince Su Fanu of Laos issued a global telegram: "Laos is independent. The Chinese People's Liberation Army is now invited to enter the country to help the Lao people drive away the invaders! ”

Wushan's eyes have been fixed on the territory that was once occupied by Annan.
