[339] Seeking peace, Commander Su solemnly negotiated; For liberation, General Chen bravely entered Vietnam

Taipei City.

At the port of Hanoi in Tamsui, a number of warships of the North Sea Fleet of the Chinese Navy carrying out a vigilance mission in the Taiwan Strait are entering the port.

Due to the approaching typhoon "tropical storm", the command of our navy had to order all the ships of our army to enter the port of Tamsui Hanoi for temporary shelter.

As one after another brigade-class destroyers and Jianghu-class frigates streamed along the Tamsui River and anchored in Taipei's inner harbor one by one, the ceremony of entering the port of the Chinese warships came to an end.

At the wharf of Tamsui Hanoi Harbor in Taipei City, Ambassador Robert Strong and Major General Ted, military attache in China, who had not left for a long time and had not yet gone to the Northern Capital, also rushed to the port to observe the Chinese warship at close range for the first time.

Rear Admiral Ted held a telescope in his hand and said with words in his mouth: "Just like Rear Admiral Walter Boone said, the Chinese's warships are all small guys, but they are indeed very delicate little guys, although the tonnage is not comparable to heavy armored cruisers such as Chicago and Chester, but a look at this streamlined figure knows that they are very high-speed warships."

…… But...... Where are the torpedo tubes? Such high-speed offshore warships should be equipped with large-caliber torpedoes...... Could it be that with torpedo boats, they abandoned the installation of torpedo tubes on high-speed small warships......"

Just as the two of them were looking at it, Commander Su Yu's car had already arrived at the dock, and Commander Su came straight to the two of them and said, "Ambassador Robert, there are only about 300 of your expatriates in total, and the delay has not been completed until now, what does this mean?" Of course, the Chinese are hospitable, and if you don't want to leave, you can go through the procedures for staying.

But don't you think it's a little inefficient for your warships to come into port like this, taking dozens of expatriates each time? ”

The interpreter beside Commander Su truthfully translated the original words into English.

Robert Strong took out that diplomat's trademark smile and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, the Fletcher class has a limited number of people and can only take a few dozen people at a time. Next, I would like to ask you to continue to supply our evacuated warships, and of course, we will pay according to the order. ”

In accordance with MacArthur's request, the Seventh Fleet, which had already joined the aircraft carrier Valley Forge from Hong Kong, is currently trying to extend the evacuation time as much as possible in order to have an excuse to stay off the coast of Taipei for a period of time. In Walter Boone's view, this is an opportunity to show off force, allowing the Chinese to take a good look at it up close and experience how powerful the US Navy is.

With regard to the US Seventh Fleet, which was clinging to the US Seventh Fleet as a scoundrel off the coast of Taipei under the pretext of evacuating overseas Chinese, Commander Su had no choice but to endure it first, and just told the port that the price of supplies would be charged at three times! As for the reason, because the other party is a warship, not a civilian ship, according to the regulations, it is appropriate to overcharge, and this is enough.

Commander Su Yu said to Ambassador Robert: "As long as your country is willing to spend money, we will supply your warships according to the promises made by international ports to international ships, and there is no problem. In addition, after consulting the Central Committee, we have also agreed to allow you to enter the port for temporary shelter from the typhoon, but during this period, your sailors are not allowed to disembark, as you know, Mr. Ambassador. ”

Robert Strong smiled: "That's no problem, we are going to enter the harbor with six Fletcher-class destroyers and four Grives-class destroyers, as well as two supply ships." I have sent someone to fill out the documents at your country's customs and port authority for the specific name of the ship. ”

At this time, Major General Ted stepped forward, raised his right hand and stood in front of him, and said after a polite military salute to Commander Su: "General Su, hello, I am Major General Ted of the United States Army." I note that your new warship looks very beautiful, and on behalf of the Commander of the United States Navy's Seventh Fleet, Rear Admiral Walter Boone, and myself, I would like to congratulate your Navy.

Admiral Walter asked me to convey a small suggestion from him, hoping that we could take this opportunity to arrange for a fellowship between the two navies on the ship.

First of all, we intend to hold a reception on board the Fletcher-class destroyer Blue Shaw, which is coming to port, and we invite your country to attend, and of course, we will arrange for your naval officers to enjoy a tour of the powerful Fletcher class of the United States Navy. Accordingly, we hope that your country will reciprocate our sincerity by inviting U.S. Navy officers to visit your warships. ”

Hearing this, Commander Su frowned slightly, pursed his lips and thought carefully.

There is no doubt that the other side is interested in our navy, and generally speaking, it is a kind of etiquette for the two sides to visit each other's military appearances or warships.

If the other party asks to visit a PLA army unit, Commander Su will not hesitate to agree, although let the other party see the high fighting spirit and strict discipline of our PLA army unit, even if it is a unit before the change, Commander Su is not afraid that the other party will laugh at our army's millet plus rifles, let alone the current unit after the change.

However, what the other side wants to visit now is our army's new warship, which is our army's secret weapon, which can make Commander Su a little uncertain.

Commander Su was going to refuse, but after thinking about it for a while, Commander Su decided to be on the safe side, and said: "The affairs of the navy should be decided by the naval command, I can help you ask, and I will reply to you later." ”

Major General Ted nodded, "Optimistic." ”

Commander Su changed the subject and continued: "At present, we are deeply concerned about your armed aggression against the DPRK, and today, I have come to the dock to be entrusted by the Premier of our State Council to once again reiterate our country's position to you on behalf of the Chinese Government. That is, as long as foreign armed forces do not cross the 38th parallel, our country will exercise maximum restraint and will not interfere in this war on the Korean Peninsula.

I hope that you can convey the voice of the Chinese people to your government, xiexie. ”

Ambassador Robert frowned and thought for a moment, and asked: "I will immediately convey this message of yours to the US government, but I don't know, is this what your country means or the Soviet Union means?" ”

Commander Su asked rhetorically: "China and the Soviet Union are friendly allies, and Korea is a close neighbor of our two countries. Mr. Ambassador, could you imagine how the United States would react if there was a civil war in Mexico and Soviet troops entered Mexico in large numbers to support one of the sides? ”

Ambassador Robert's eyebrows tightened, and he replied without hesitation but firmly: "If that's the case, in five minutes, Washington will give the order to go to war." ”

Commander Su affirmed: "North Korea is to the Soviet Union and China what Mexico is to the United States. The entry of foreign armed forces into the war on the Korean Peninsula is, in essence, an open insult and a serious provocation by the United States against the Soviet Union and China. Perhaps the United States thought that the Soviet Union was beyond the reach of the Far East, and perhaps the United States thought that a war on the Korean Peninsula could reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union on Europe, but the United States should not forget that the Korean Peninsula was not only concerned with the Soviet Union's national security in the Far East, but also involved the foundation of China's national security. ”

Ambassador Robert said solemnly: "General Su, I will truthfully convey your concerns to Washington. ”

Commander Su said heavily: "Please tell your government that this is the concern of all Chinese!" ”

That night, Robert sent Commander Sue's words back to Washington by telegram.

Commander Su Yu also sent a request from the United States to visit the warship to the Northern Capital.

Beidu's reply was very clear, asking Commander Su to directly refuse, and gave the US side the following reply: "...... At a time when the Korean Peninsula is still at war, the two sides have made military visits to each other, which does not promote peace in any way, but is merely a show of force and the acquisition of information, which we believe is inappropriate at this time......

Washington, for its part, is immune to these remarks that China has been repeating on all occasions lately, and that the United States and South Korea are incapable of fighting back on the Korean Peninsula under the pressing offensive of the Korean People's Army.

Vietnam

After repeated deliberation by the central government, General Chen Geng, with the Chinese military advisory group, was finally ordered to enter Vietnam for guidance, but in terms of scale, it was much smaller than in history. There were only 30 cadres and 120 attachés. They were accompanied by two separate regiments, Viet Minh 209 and 174, which had completed their training missions in China.

As a result of the Vietnamese army's hasty attack, the French defenses in North Vietnam were increasingly strengthened, and the total strength of the North Vietnam Army had reached an unprecedented 11,000 men.

After General Chen Geng arrived at the base area deep in the mountains of the Viet Minh, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and carefully studied the French defense line in northern Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh was not on the sidelines, waiting for General Chen's judgment.

General Chen Geng had studied the intelligence map of the French defense line provided by the 491 engineering team in China before, and he combined the latest information provided by the Viet Minh and said to the map with ease: "It seems that the French are particularly fond of building defense lines, and the Maginot Line has been beaten to a pulp, and here is a No. 4 Highway defense line, hoping to cut off the connection between Vietnam and China by relying on this thing." Hum! ”

As he spoke, General Chen snorted contemptuously.

Ho Chi Minh bitterly pointed to the No. 4 highway defense line along the Sino-Vietnamese border, from northwest to southeast, and said melancholy: "Gao Ping, Dong Khe, Qi Xi, Dong Deng, Liang Son, Mong Cai, this Highway 4 defense line was built by the French since 1945.

The French want to block our Viet Minh in the deep mountains and old forests where ordinary people can't live for a month, and they want to isolate us from China and the grain-producing areas of the Red River Delta, and starve us to death!

Our Viet Minh's slogan now is 'every grain of food is as precious as blood,' and the troops will not have enough to eat in peacetime unless they have a mission. ”
