After stabilizing the morale of the participating national armies and the Chinese Youth Association and returning to the Independence Palace, Ngo Dinh Ngai, who had disappeared for nearly two days, was arranging protests and propaganda activities with several aides for tomorrow.

Ngo Dinh Diem returned to the second floor from the basement early and continued to work as if nothing had happened.

As soon as Li Weimin sat down, he handed over a handwritten document: "For the people, I have entrusted Ruan Yushu to accept the mediation of the French side on behalf of the government, this is our opinion, you can see." ”

He called on all factions to maintain peace and national unity, and implored the leaders of all factions to come to the Prime Minister's Office for peace talks, to guarantee the holding of parliamentary elections in three months, and to ensure that some seats in the National Assembly were allocated to the leaders of the factions......

It is more or less sincere to accept mediation, and the opinions he has drafted are high-sounding but not substantive, and the "factions" do not include the Hirakawa faction.

Li Weizai carefully read the documents, raised his head and said: "Mr. Yan, there is a military conflict in the capital, and the head of state is estimated to know soon." ”

"It's not fast, it's already known."

Wu Tingyan took out a telegram from his hand and said coldly: "As soon as you left on your front foot, he summoned me to France to 'consult on state affairs.'" The country is facing a serious crisis, and it is not appropriate to leave the country at this time. ”

That's right, if he goes to France now, he will never come back like Nguyen Van Xin.

As soon as he finished speaking, a secretary knocked on the door with a telegram with a panicked expression, Li Weimin took the telegram, and while motioning for the secretary to go back first, he looked at the telegram and said, "Mr. Yan, the Führer has sent you a second gold medal." ”

He was asked to go to Paris to "consult on state affairs", and he had a very tacit understanding with the French and the Pingchuan faction.

knew that Li Wenyuan dared to defy the condemnation of the world and launch a coup d'état, which was instigated by them behind the scenes. How could Wu Tingyan be fooled by this. took the message and said, "For the people." Otherwise, as a special envoy, you will go to Paris on my behalf to report to the Führer on the situation in the country, and by the way, ask for instructions on how to deal with the internal strife in the country. ”

"Mr. Yan, I know this is a good intention, but if you can't go, I can't go. At present, although the construction of several industrial villages has been affected to a certain extent, it can be controlled to a minimum. If I leave, the industrial investment company will definitely fluctuate and will definitely affect the progress of the project. It is not a big deal for the fund project to be delayed for one or two months, if those foreign-funded projects that have been attracted with great difficulty are aborted. Previous efforts have been undone. ”

The government has the advantage, but only in terms of public opinion.

The French army pulled the sidelines, and the Pingchuan faction had an absolute advantage in the urban area, and no one knew whether Li Wenyuan would jump over the wall in a hurry and concentrate his forces to storm the Prime Minister's Palace.

Ngo Dinh Diem was really worried about his safety, and said with a sincere face: "For the people, you can go to Vung Tau or Phu Quoc." ”

When the time came to show loyalty, Li Weimin straightened his suit, stared at him and said seriously: "Mr. Yan, don't persuade you." To go together, to stay together. ”

"Actually, it's not necessary."

"It was I who mobilized you back from Paris. I don't want to feel guilty for the rest of my life. ”

Seeing the truth in adversity, Wu Tingyan was silent for a while before nodding and saying: "Okay, stay together, may God bless our country, let's pray for it." ”

He is actually a very emotional person, and tears came out of his eyes when he said this.

Thinking that his stubborn character determines his possible fate in the future, and thinking that millions of Chinese who want to survive in Vietnam must eventually draw a clear line with their brothers, Li Weimin has mixed tastes, which is very unpleasant.

Wu Tingyan was moved, and Li Weimin felt guilty.

The two big men silently faced each other for four or five minutes, and Chen Li broke in in a hurry, and while helping to pack up the documents, he said like a machine gun: "A gang of bandits actually dares to launch a coup d'état, will the people support them?" All should be executed and hanged! The French interfered in their internal affairs and wanted to continue their colonial rule, so they should order reinforcements to open fire on them......"

This woman is crazy, completely insane.

Li Weimin sighed secretly, raised his head and said, "Mrs. Yao, I heard about the feat of you and the ladies on Lili Road, and it almost scared me to death. Bullets don't last long, you have to stay calm and never take the same risks as you did in the afternoon. ”

"What's going on?" Wu Tingyan asked suspiciously.

Mrs. Yao, with a dozen ladies empty-handed, stopped a group of rebels from the Pingchuan faction who was about to attack at Lili Road, and scolded the rebels back. There is a firefight on the street next door, bullets are raining down, bullets are flying, Mr. Yan, do you think it is dangerous? ”

Wu Tingyan was taken aback and gasped: "Brother and sister, you are too impulsive, you will not allow it in the future, and you will never be allowed to have a second time." ”

"Uncle, it's not as exaggerated as Weimin said, they don't dare to shoot me."

Chen Lichun not only did not accept the lesson, but was triumphant. Wu Tingyan didn't want her to have an accident, and warned in an unquestionable tone: "From now on, you are not allowed to go out, just stay in the Independence Palace." ”

You can't listen to other people's opinions, and you can't ignore your uncle's words.

Chen Lichun could only glare at Li Weimin fiercely, nodded and said, "Okay, just stay in the Prime Minister's Palace." ”

……

At 3 a.m., the ceasefire agreement mediated by the French came into force, and in fact it was already in place at 6:21 p.m. Ngo Dinh Diem broadcast his views to the whole country through the radio, and at the same time stepped up the mobilization of troops to return to the army.

The regiment and battalion of the Fifth Infantry Division were the first to arrive among the reinforcements from other provinces, and according to the plan agreed in advance, seeing that all the roads into the city were blocked by the French troops, they moved south overnight and stationed near the Pingdong Industrial Village, which was across the river from the headquarters of the Pingchuan faction.

Yu Xinlin, manager of Pingdong Industrial Village, Ruan Zhiren, director of the security department of the industrial investment company, and others have been prepared for a long time.

As soon as the army arrived, hot meals were provided, and at the same time, construction workers working in the industrial village were mobilized, and construction machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and trucks were mobilized to help the 5th Infantry Division build fortifications overnight.

Standing on the second floor without a telescope, you can see the assault position on the other side of the river, with machine guns on the position, and military trucks going back and forth between the attack position and the woods to the right of the industrial village.

The 5th Infantry Division was reinforced with a 105 howitzer battalion before the change of defense with Zheng Mingshi's division, if you guessed correctly. Artillery positions were located in the woods. The muzzle of the gun is aimed at itself.

The Nong division fought with the Japanese army. He fought against the Vietminh and was the most capable division in the national army.

His own army has never fought a big battle, never really went to the battlefield, the three 105 howitzers given by the French no one even knows how to operate, seeing the posture of the other side of the bank ready to attack at any time, Li Wenyuan finally realized how much trouble he had caused.

"Blow up the bridge, blow it all up!"

"Seventh brother. The bridge can't be blown up, and once the bridge is blown up, we have no way out. ”

"If you don't blow up the bridge, do you want to watch them rush over?"

Lai Wencan was also frightened into a cold sweat, and said nervously: "The French army is guarding the bridge, and they don't dare to act rashly. ”

The French troops blocking the bridgehead had only one tank, three armored vehicles, and dozens of soldiers.

How many men and how many guns were there in the 5th Infantry Division?

You must know that this is an army with a "criminal record", which mutinied in North Vietnam last year for the Nong people to withdraw south and occupy Hanoi airport. Occupy the Haiphong dock and force the French to help them evacuate more than 300,000 Nongs to the south.

The French can betray the Nongs. It can also betray the Pingchuan faction.

Li Wenyuan didn't dare to pin all his hopes on the French army, and ordered through gritted teeth: "There is no way back, blow up the bridge immediately!" ”

The emperor said that he would order Ngo Dinh Diem to go to Paris.

Victory is in sight, there can be no accidents at this critical moment, Lai Wencan responded, and immediately arranged for someone to blow up the bridge.

When several of his subordinates arrived at the bridgehead with soldiers and explosives, the chief of staff of the 5th Infantry Division, Colonel Zhong Lianbo, was negotiating with the French officers.

"Lieutenant, I need to immediately lead my troops into the city to quell the rebellion, I hope you will not interfere in our internal affairs."

The French commander raised his hand in return and said without humility or arrogance: "Mr. Chief of Staff, as far as I know, the 'Provisional Government' has reached a ceasefire with the 'United Front of National Forces', and I ask you to abide by the ceasefire agreement." I will not allow you and your men to enter the city until new orders are received. ”

Zhong Lianbo looked around and said expressionlessly, "Then I can only find a boat to cross the river?" ”

The French captain warned: "If you look for a ship, I will not hesitate to order it to be sunk." Mr. Chief of Staff, we have fought side by side, and I do not want unpleasantness between us. ”

"Just a few of you, this tank and a few armored vehicles?"

"I can't stop you, but I have reinforcements, I have the air force!"

People will die in war, the national bank is in the hands of the French, and Ngo Dinh Diem's treasury is empty, and he can't even give much pension. I came to show my support for the government's position, and the negotiations were just for show, not to mention that you didn't allow me to enter the city, and even if I was invited in, I wouldn't enter.

Zhong Lianbo snorted coldly, pretended to be angry, turned his head and left.

When he walked to the other side of the bridge, he suddenly remembered something, turned around suddenly, pointed to the sneaky soldiers of the Pingchuan faction and asked, "What do you want to do, what do you want to do?" ”

He has been in battle for a long time, and he is murderous, and there are dozens of veterans with loaded guns standing behind him. The soldiers of the Pingchuan faction were frightened, and they actually said hesitantly: "Bomb ...... Explode...... Blow up the bridge. ”

This iron bridge is one of the main bridges leading to the embankment in Pingdong Industrial Village, and it will be inconvenient to go back and forth if they blow it up.

Mr. Li is the new leader of the Nongren, and the industrial village was built by Mr. Li's industrial investment company, how could Zhong Lianbo watch them blow up the bridge, holding the pistol on his waist and warning: "Captain, if you allow them to blow up the bridge, I will not hesitate to order my subordinates to attack." And I don't just mean this one bridge, but all the bridges on this river. If you don't want unpleasantness between us, don't take my words as a joke. ”

The French commander was about to report to his superiors immediately, but Zhong Lianbo had already turned around and ordered: "Counselor Wang! ”

"Yes!"

"Order the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and the Artillery Battalion, and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

The French commander didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't want the situation to deteriorate, so he asked in a fierce voice: "Who authorized you to blow up the bridge, who gave you this order, get back to me!" (To be continued......)
