It has been more than a month since Lin Zhaolong arrived in Vietnam, and the current troops in Vietnam are basically stationed in the areas of Champa and Pliango, but the number is only more than 10,000, and even two divisions are not enough, not to mention the newly established Second Army.

During this time, Li Fuqiang ran around in North Vietnam and Vietnam, on the one hand, he had to go to Jinpu, Hoi An and other places to inspect, and on the other hand, he had to go to Thang Long Mansion to improve the relationship with Zheng Jie, and all the conscription of the city was handed over to Lin Zhaolong.

Lin Zhaolong walked around the barracks and returned to the headquarters of Zhancheng, but saw that Li Fuqiang was also in the headquarters.

"Li Fuqiang, when did you come back?"

"Just came back, and I'm tired from this trip." Li Fuqiang's armed belt hadn't had time to be untied yet, "Are you busy now?" If you're not busy, let's talk about it, things in Vietnam are not easy to do. ”

"Don't scare me, it's not like something is going to happen again." Lin Zhaolong smiled and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, let's talk while drinking." ”

After the wine and meat were put down, Lin Zhaolong drove everyone out of the office, closed the door and poured Li Fuqiang a glass of wine: "Commander, I am at your command." ”

Li Fuqiang didn't care about Lin Zhaolong's joke, took out two cigarettes and handed one to Lin Zhaolong: "Zhaolong, I went to Shenglong Mansion to see Zheng Jie this time, and I told him the meaning of the home you brought, but I don't think he is too reluctant." ”

"It's normal for him to be reluctant." Lin Zhaolong lit a cigarette, "I analyzed it at home before I came, Zheng Jie is probably unwilling for us to help him train the army again, because he will probably feel that he can't control the new army of Annan." What's more, we also attacked Thang Long Mansion in the first half of the year, so it is very unlikely that he will believe our words now. ”

The Military Commission ordered Li Fuqiang to cooperate with Zheng as much as possible, and to help him train a group of troops to maintain peaceful relations with North Vietnam within a year. Xu Lang proposed to use the idea of North Vietnam to attack Yunnan and Guangxi to keep it secret from Li Fuqiang and Lin Zhaolong, because Zhang Guodong and Zheng Jiang both felt that this idea was too unreliable for traitors.

"Not exactly." Li Fuqiang said, "I feel that Zheng Jie is still more interested in South Vietnam, and he has asked me about Hoi An several times, and I think it is difficult for him to have other plans in the absence of reunification in Vietnam." ”

Lin Zhaolong changed the subject: "How is Hue now, have you been there?" ”

"Nguyen Qi is in Hue now, I didn't go to Hue, but I heard Ho Chao Yong talk about it when I was in Hoi An."

Ho Chao Dung is now stationed in Hoi An, and Deputy Division Commander Andreas is currently stationed in Kam Phu.

Li Fuqiang continued: "There are quite a few troops in Hue, Ho Chaoyong said that there are almost more than 20,000, and there are also a number of warships. But the two of us discussed a lot, but we didn't understand why the North Vietnamese stationed so many troops in Hue, and the population of Hue was not large. ”

"There's nothing I can't figure out, just guard against us." Lin Zhaolong said with a smile, "You also know what the family means, let us expand the Second Army to 20,000 people in October and launch a winter offensive against Cambodia and Thailand." Looking at it now, this task will definitely not be completed, and the winter offensive will be changed to the Spring Festival offensive if it is not good. ”

"Zhaolong, I am against this plan, you know that." Li Fuqiang drank a glass of wine, "Even if our Second Army is full, how can you guarantee that North Vietnam will not fight from Hue when we attack Cambodia." When I went to see Zheng Jie, I could clearly feel his determination to unify Vietnam. ”

"I have already fed back what you mean to my family, and I still have the signatures of the three of us, it is indeed not appropriate to attack Cambodia." Lin Zhaolong said as he drank, "Our main problem now is recruitment, which is too difficult. We have been under control of South Vietnam for less than half a year, and the opinions of the Vietnamese on such a large scale of conscription are very large. ”

"I know all of what you're talking about, but what's the use?" Li Fuqiang complained, "Forced conscription is not good, and it is not possible not to recruit soldiers, anyway, I have no good way." ”

The two of them were silent for a moment, because they both knew that no matter what they did, it was not appropriate. Forced conscription can easily lose the mass base, and if Zheng Jie's attack from the north, then the South Vietnamese may have to eat pot pulp to welcome the king's division. However, if there is no conscription, not to mention the stability of South Vietnam, the next step of Yulin Bay will be greatly disrupted.

Lin Zhaolong was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "Where is that Ruan Youyi now?" ”

"Still in Hoi An." Li Fuqiang is still very familiar with Ruan Youyi, and Xu Lang personally explained when he was in Vietnam, "He Chaoyong found someone to accompany him, but he never talked to him in detail." Xu Lang explained when he left that he must not be allowed to die, and he must be useful. He Chaoyong now even finds someone to accompany him when he sleeps, but he doesn't know what the use is. ”

"Li Fuqiang, I'm afraid we have to get this Ruan Youyi to Champong." Lin Zhaolong said, "Before I came to Vietnam, Xu Lang told me that if there were any difficulties in recruiting soldiers in Vietnam, I could take advantage of Ruan Youyi's connections. ”

"That seems a little unlikely." Li Fuqiang was a little confused, "Don't forget that we destroyed South Vietnam, and Ruan Youyi is an important minister of South Vietnam." And I heard He Chaoyong say that Ruan Youyi has been uncooperative in the past six months, what can you do to get him to cooperate. ”

Lin Zhaolong didn't answer positively: "There is another person, is Ruan Youjin also in Hoi An?" ”

Li Fuqiang thought about it for a while, he still knew that Ruan Youjin was in. When he attacked Pulian for the first time, Ruan Youjin also participated in the negotiations: "He should also be in Hoi An, but I don't know very well, and He Chaoyong didn't tell me in detail." ”

"Li Fuqiang, as a representative of the Military Commission, I will once again convey to you the resolution of the Military Commission." Lin Zhaolong suddenly became serious, "The first task of the Second Army stationed in Champa is to stabilize South Vietnam and continue to recruit troops. If the winter offensive against Cambodia is difficult, it can be postponed. However, it is imperative that the Second Army be fully expanded by the end of this year. If there are difficulties in recruitment, the influence of the South Vietnamese generals can be used. ”

"Yes, resolutely follow the orders of the Military Commission." Li Fuqiang stood up and saluted, but then asked, "The winter offensive will be put aside first, but how can we use the power of South Vietnam." I heard He Chaoyong say that Ruan Youyi still refuses to cooperate. ”

"We have to talk to him face to face and make the stakes clear to him."

Although Li Fuqiang didn't know how Lin Zhaolong wanted to talk to Ruan Youyi, he didn't ask in detail: "Then I'll ask He Chaoyong to find someone to send him over." ”

"Nope." Lin Zhaolong waved his hand, "Let's go to Hoi An together to invite this uncle." ”
