Chapter 1488 An unexpected surprise

Saigon, at three o'clock in the morning, the French governor of Annam, Jule. Brevier declared the meeting closed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Annam Army Commander-in-Chief Bull, Navy Commander Gergil, Cochinchina Commissioner Borg, Crédit Agricole CIB President Bruce, Economic Commissioner Burton, Intelligence Commissioner Carey, and 12 French generals and colonels stationed in the surrounding areas of Saigon were stunned when they saw two Chinese soldiers in camouflage uniforms raising their submachine guns and aiming them at the conference room.

In the corridor, the two French soldiers who were originally guarding the door of the conference room were lying on the ground, and more than a dozen Chinese soldiers all raised their guns and pointed at the door of the conference room, waiting for them.

Army Commander Bull stroked his forehead and groaned, "Oh my God, why did I start having nightmares before I even went to sleep?" This is Saigon, and there will be no Chinese ** people anyway, right? ”

Navy Commander Gergil pinched the muscles of his arm, and a piercing pain came, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It shouldn't be a dream, otherwise how can there be all of you in front of me?" It's unbelievable that the squadron actually took control of the Saigon Governor's Palace! ”

The four French generals who were walking behind subconsciously went to pull out their guns, "pop pap", the dull sound of shooting from submachine guns equipped with silencers came, and a row of clear bullet holes appeared on the floor in front of the four French generals, and the four of them were so frightened that they hurriedly raised their hands and did not dare to move.

Stimulated by this, all the French raised their hands.

Hearing the gunshots, Jule, who was packing up his things in the conference room. Governor Brevier's hand shook, and the document fell to the ground.

At this time, four Ann Army Marines rushed into the conference room and pointed their guns at Jule. Brevier.

Drew. Brevier sat down and saw a man who looked like an officer enter the room, and almost subconsciously asked in French: "Saigon is heavily defended, how did you sneak into the city?" ”

Originally Jule. Brevier did not expect the other party to answer, who knew that the other party grinned and replied skillfully in French: "Your Excellency Governor, the military port of Saigon has been successfully controlled by us, and your navy of Annam is finished, and before that, your country's ocean-going navy also fell into our hands, how do you say we got into Saigon?" ”

Drew. Brevier was amazed, and then thought about it, and there was no other reasonable explanation, and muttered, "It's over, it's all over!" ”

The raid on Saigon in the early hours of January 4 completely changed the landscape of Annam.

The more than 30 warships and more than 20 transport ships of the French Annam Fleet docked at the Saigon Military Port all fell into the hands of the An Jia Army, and together with the ocean-going fleet equipped with the latest French battle cruisers, the current An Jia Army naval fleet has quietly become the fourth largest maritime force in Asia after the Japanese, American, and British navies.

After more than 80 years of development and layout, Saigon now has a relatively complete range of industrial categories such as oil refineries, machinery factories, metal processing factories, tobacco factories, tea factories, and thermal power plants.

What was particularly surprising was the bumper harvest in the construction of ships.

In order to possess Annam for a long time, the French paid great attention to maintaining their naval superiority, and in the port area of Saigon, there was one large shipyard capable of building and repairing ships of 10,000 tons, two shipyards of 5,000 tons, and five shipyards of ships of less than 2,000 tons. With a little tidying up, you can immediately put it into use and build a new steel giant.

Since the French were too confident in their own navy, there was simply no time to transfer large quantities of materiel and wealth. After seizing 500,000 tons of crude oil and 200,000 tons of heavy oil at Haiphong port, nearly one million tons of crude oil and heavy oil were seized at the oil depot in Saigon.

A large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, jade and various antiques looted from China and the colonies of Annam were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, especially the seizure of Crédit Agricole CIB as a financial institution in the colony, and the bank warehouses were full of dollars, francs, lira, marks, yen and other currencies, worth hundreds of millions, not to mention a large number of Crédit Agricole CIB's homemade Annam coins.

After An Yi received the urgent report from the Marines in Saigon, he could hardly believe his eyes, but if he thought about it carefully, it was reasonable that the French had ruled Ananda for more than 80 years, thinking about the treasury of the Nguyen court, thinking about the looting of Beijing and the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the French ** team of the Second Opium War, thinking about the loss of China's wealth when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, coupled with so many years of trade and smuggling, it is not normal to not have so much money.

An Yi suddenly understood why the United States was so rich after World War II, just one Annam gave birth to a sense of nouveau riche, and plundered Japan, including China, Annam, Siam, the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, Malaya, and Burma, and all the accumulated wealth finally fell into the pockets of the Americans, coupled with its plundering of Germany, the wealth accumulated to an unimaginable astronomical amount.

With such strong financial support, it is no wonder that the final result of the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony was the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the two sides were not at all a level of rivalry at the financial level.

It seems that it is not unreasonable to strike first, if it were not for the inspiration of Xu Ziliang, he made a decisive decision and decisively chose to enter Annan, and got the first cup of soup from the French, if he waited for the Japanese to rob again and then send troops, the effect would be greatly reduced.

An Yi ordered the navy to take good care of the wealth seized in Saigon, especially the protection of industrial facilities. While liquidating and taking over the institutions and industries under the name of the French colonial government, it is necessary to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Annam's national industries, French private enterprises, and banks, and to engage in solidarity rather than confrontation.

Saigon is to Annam what Shanghai is to China, a megacity with a population of nearly two million, and it is very difficult to control the leakage of information.

However, under the current circumstances, it would be good to let the French government and people know the truth about Annan one day later, after all, there are now large-scale strikes and political confrontations in France, which will not stop automatically without the intervention of external forces, which can greatly consume France's national strength.

At the same time, the chaotic situation is conducive to An Jiajun's secret absorption of talents. In France, where political movements are taking place one after another, scientists are unable to study with peace of mind, and a large number of experts, scholars, engineers, and skilled workers are doing nothing, and it would be glad to provide them with a place to conduct research and work. An Yi has instructed the intelligence services to recruit talents from all walks of life from France to work in Annan at all costs, not just shipbuilding talents.

All of this required the illusion that Cochinchina, south of Annam, was still in the hands of the French, in order to dispel the hostility of the French and successfully lure them aboard.

An Yi instructed to strictly control the French governor of Annam, Jule. Brevier and his staff and generals mainly controlled the special radio stations of various departments, skillfully responded to all inquiries from France and the surrounding colonies, and tried their best to create a trend of public opinion in France that Annan could still hold on, and it was best to get the French to send more supplies to Annan. If you are lucky, the French government will send a few more warships, and it will be even better.

After the navy completed its supply, it immediately went north and cooperated with the army to complete the encirclement of the enemy at Vinh and Da Nang, which could properly display the power of our huge ship's cannons and intimidate the French army into surrendering. When all is said and done, Cam Ranh Bay, which is surrounded by mountains and almost isolated from the outside world, will be taken into control of this most advantageous natural harbor in the South Seas. In the future, the Navy's main military bases will be set up in Haiphong and Cam Ranh Bay, which are protected by many sea gateways, of which Cam Ranh Bay is the top priority of construction, and its superior geographical environment is sufficient to ensure the safety of ships docked in the military port, and as for Saigon and Da Nang, it is sufficient to maintain two small fleets.

The marines can adopt the same methods adopted by the Japanese when they captured the city of Ningbo in eastern Zhejiang, put on the military uniforms of the French, and impose martial law and blockade in the name of the colonial government of French Annam. In the course of this process, it is necessary to strengthen control over newspaper offices, telephone offices, and telegraph offices, use the most advanced radio detection equipment in Syria to check the transmission of radio waves, resolutely seal up and ban all suspicious targets, and never give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of them.

......

Xufu, the mountain road of Cuiping Mountain shrouded in a thin morning mist.

A girl in sportswear with a curvaceous figure ran from the bend of the mountain road with light steps, and she looked at the city of Xufu under the mountain as she ran.

It's been almost five months since I arrived in Syria, and it seems that every day I can feel the changes in the city. With the continuous influx of capital, large swaths of buildings have risen in the southwest and northwest of Cuiping Mountain, the streets have become more and more prosperous, with more and more cars, motorcycles and bicycles on the streets, and the industrial zone on the south bank of the Jinsha River has also expanded exponentially.

However, this change is done quietly, in an orderly manner, not at all messy, like a good ink painting, splashed here with a little ink, splashed with a little ink there, and inadvertently, it becomes a natural masterpiece.

Although she has not been a reporter for the "79 Military Daily" for a few days, through her visits to some factories and military enterprises, she has more and more clearly felt the strength of the Syrian government. This kind of strength is supporting China to resist Japanese aggression, supporting the squadron to go abroad, and rescuing more Chinese people from suffering and moving towards glory.

Just when Zhou Ziwei's thoughts were in full swing, a beautiful children's voice sounded in her ears: "Sister fairy, don't you feel tired and boring when I see you running along the mountain trail early in the morning?" ”

Zhou Ziwei turned her head in some surprise, only to see a little white girl who rushed to her shoulder, also wearing a sweatshirt and pants, running behind her, and greeting with a smile:

"Little sister, you are really good at talking, where am I a fairy, you are really beautiful, your facial features are so exquisite, like a pure and lovely little angel...... Little sister, I also see you running and exercising every day, do you feel tired? ”

The little white girl was very happy to see Zhou Ziwei talking to herself, and struggled to follow Zhou Ziwei's pace, panting and saying:

"My dance teacher said that as a dancer, especially a ballet dancer, you have to have plenty of physical strength. I haven't been in good health since I was a child, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to dance my beloved ballet in the future, so I have to go out for a run to strengthen my physique...... Seriously, I'm not a big fan of running, and when I come out in the morning, it's dark and scary! If this wasn't Syria, I wouldn't dare to come out and exercise alone! ”

Zhou Ziwei took the initiative to slow down and ran with the little girl: "Little sister, what is your name and where are you studying?" ”

"My name is Audrey. Hepburn, studying at Maria Girls' School, our school's ballet is famous, and the army art troupe has selected many sisters from our school to join the art troupe and become a member of the glorious An Jia army. Hepburn also wanted to wear a good-looking military uniform, so he was strict with himself! ”

Zhou Zi smiled: "It turned out to be Hepburn's little sister...... Since you have ideals, you must stick to them, and you can't give up halfway! Well, if you feel scared in the future, I'll pick you up at your doorstep and we'll work out together, okay? ”

Audrey. Hepburn was very happy: "Okay, sister, I haven't asked your name yet!" ”

"Remember, my sister's surname is Zhou, and her name is Ziwei, you can call me Sister Zhou, or you can call me Sister Ziwei, understand?"

"Okay! Sister Ziwei, look there, my family lives in that villa area...... Ah, I'm almost at the hospital in front, and every day I run here, my sister has to go to the hospital, do you have any family members who are sick? ”

Zhou Ziwei shook her head, ran to the gate of the hospital, stopped, and lowered her head: "Little sister Hepburn, sister went in to see an aunt who is not a relative but a relative, let's see you tomorrow, okay?" ”

Audrey. Hepburn's face was confused: "Chinese speak so profoundly, it's not relatives who are better than relatives, so are they relatives or not?" Seeing Zhou Ziwei running towards the hospital, he hurriedly ran to chase Zhou Ziwei: "Sister, can I go to visit together?" Hepburn promised that he would not talk nonsense. ”

Zhou Ziwei just wanted to refuse, but seeing Hepburn's expectant eyes, the ghost nodded in a daze: "Okay, you must keep quiet, you know?" ”

Hepburn nodded obediently, followed behind Zhou Ziwei, and walked towards the five-story inpatient building by the Green Lake. Along the way, doctors and nurses greeted Zhou Ziwei from time to time, and it seemed that she was already a frequent visitor here.

Entering the inpatient department building, taking the take-off and landing plane, the two came to Ye Qing's ward on the fifth floor. Zhou Ziwei opened the curtains, opened the window to let fresh air in, then replaced the goldfish tank with water, and cleaned the petals of the large plum branch inserted in the corner of the wall, then washed his hands and sat down next to Ye Qing's bed.

Since Zhou Ziwei would come to see Ye Qing every day, responsible for the special care and security of Ye Qing's ward, she did not have the vigilance at the beginning, and after the verification by the political department, it was confirmed that Zhou Ziwei had a close relationship with An Yi and Ye Qing and would not bring danger to Ye Qing, so when she did all this, no one came forward to stop her.

Hepburn knelt on the floor, supported his chin with both hands, and asked softly, "Sister, why doesn't this aunt move?" Did she have a sleep sickness? ”

"Yes, my aunt fell under the magic of an evil wizard and fell asleep. Now I hope that a magical little fairy will fall from the sky and remove the magic! After that, Zhou Zi sighed slightly, and turned his head to look at Ye Qing, who was sleeping with a faint smile on his face.

Little Hepburn's eyes widened: "Magic? This Hepburn will, Hepburn will dance "Swan Lake", I heard that this dance can expel magic, do you want Hepburn to dance for my sister and aunt? ”

Zhou Zi smiled: "But there are no ballet shoes in the ward, how can you dance?" ”

Hepburn smiled and said, "I'll just do a few movements, and I don't need dancing shoes." After speaking, he took off his sneakers, revealing a pair of smooth little feet, then stood up and made a few arms stretching movements, the grace of his posture and the elegance of his temperament made Zhou Ziwei's eyes widen.

Subsequently, Hepburn was barefoot, according to the beat and rhythm in her heart, and danced the fragment of the ballet "Swan Lake", and when she encountered the movement of stepping on her toes, she stood on tiptoe with five toes like white shells, the movements were beautiful and natural, and it didn't look awkward at all, Zhou Ziwei was relaxed for a while.

After the jump, Hepburn returned to the hospital bed and sat down, put on his shoes, and said softly: "Sister, can you tell Hepburn the story of your aunt?" Hepburn is not a child anymore, knowing that there is no magic in this world, and the aunt must be sick. ”

Zhou Ziwei was stunned for a moment, then touched little Hepburn's head, nodded slightly, and after a little thought, he began to tell the story of how he met An Yi, how he met Ye Qing, how he took the plane together, and how he was in distress by a Japanese plane.

Little Hepburn's eyes widened, he almost couldn't breathe when he heard the nervous place, his eyes were full of worry and fear, and finally when he heard that he had been successfully rescued, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyebrows were full of joy.

After Zhou Ziwei finished speaking, she tilted her head and asked, "Do you know now how amazing this sleeping aunt is?" And Brother An Yi, in that dangerous situation, he still only thinks about others, what do you think of this kind of morality? ”

Little Hepburn's eyes were full of admiration and reverence, and just wanted to speak, when she suddenly felt that the hand of the sleeping aunt on the hospital bed seemed to move, and she raised her head suspiciously, but saw that the corners of Ye Qing's eyes fell crystal tears, she subconsciously shook Ye Qing's hand again, and felt that the hands gently held herself, and couldn't help but be a little afraid: "Sister Ziwei, auntie...... Auntie, she's shaking my hand......"

Zhou Ziwei, who was trapped in her memory, was a little surprised when she heard this: "No, Auntie's illness can't move......" She carefully looked at the palms of little Hepburn and Ye Qing together, and then saw the tears in the corners of Ye Qing's eyes, as well as the slightly trembling eyelids, she was surprised, and suddenly screamed:

"Doctor! Doctor! Sister Qing woke up, Sister Qing woke up! Come on, Sister Qing has woken up......"

Zhou Ziwei's voice was sharp and urgent, and it didn't take long for the hospital to be alarmed, and the doctors and nurses who had not yet gotten off work and had just gone to work rushed to Ye Qing's ward.

Who is Ye Qing? This can only be known from the level of people who come to visit patients every day, from An Yi's wife to the leaders of the three headquarters, as well as Gong Qian, Lu Bicheng and other big figures, you can imagine the importance of Ye Qing.

Due to the deep influence of Confucianism, the Chinese are full of reverence for the powerful in their bones, so that every doctor and nurse attaches great importance to Ye Qing's condition.

At the same time, Ye Qing's awakening is undoubtedly a miracle of life, which is very enlightening for the recovery of such patients, and its medical value is incomparably significant, no wonder it didn't take long for Ye Qing's ward to be crowded with doctors and nurses.
