Volume 5 The Central South Storm Chapter 21 Alternatives

Peace is precious, especially when the opportunity for peace is fleeting

On the morning of the 24th Eastern time, at the United Nations General Assembly, when Pang Hung Long reiterated that the Vietnamese government instructed and connived at the military to loot civilian ships of other countries and produced several pieces of evidence, the representatives of all countries were in an uproar. It was not the evidence of the Republic that shocked everyone, but the attitude of the Republic.

What Pang Xinglong brought was not "peace", but a precursor to a large-scale war.

Immediately afterward, Pang Xinglong proposed at the UN General Assembly and the Security Council that Vietnam be included in the "List of Countries Supporting and Conniving at Piracy" in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "International Anti-Piracy Convention" and that comprehensive sanctions be imposed on Vietnam.

Because it is a substantive act, it is up to the Security Council to decide whether to impose sanctions on Vietnam.

In the first round of voting, the United States voted against it, arguing that the evidence presented by the Republic was insufficient to prove that the Vietnamese Government had instigated and connived at piracy, and that it could not equate the actions of individuals with those of the State, and opposed the imposition of sanctions against Vietnam.

The U.S. veto of the sanctions proposal was completely expected by the outside world.

While Pang Xinglong was "working hard" in the United Nations, Zhao Rundong was discussing with Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng about expanding the crackdown.

"The results of the interrogation were unambiguous, and the identities of the two Vietnamese Marine Corps soldiers were confirmed." Pan Yunsheng put the interrogation results and investigation report on the coffee table, "The people who landed on Nanzi Island are all Vietnamese soldiers, and before the outbreak of the war, they have been operating in the South China Sea as fishermen, and their main task is to search for passing ships, monitor the activities of Chinese ships, and serve the gunboats carrying out plundering missions. When the war broke out, they happened to be operating in the waters near Nanzi Island. After receiving the order, they went to Nanzi Island, where they were subsequently ambushed by our special forces. ”

"An order from the Vietnamese government?"

"Not the government. It was the Marine Corps Commander who gave the order. ”

"Is there any evidence?" Zhao Rundong frowned slightly.

"The fishing boat sank in the waters attached to Nanzi Island. I have contacted the Marine Corps stationed in Nanzi Island. Let them send frogmen to salvage the fishing boat's ground radio station and communication records. Pan Yunsheng picked up the cigarette. Said. "It happened very suddenly. Vietnamese officers and soldiers on fishing boats should not have had time to destroy radio stations and destroy communication records. ”

Zhao Rundong nodded. "Get this done as soon as possible. But don't rush your shot. ”

Pan Yunsheng didn't say much. So important evidence. Wait until it is most advantageous to take it out. Able to produce the best results.

"How's the fighting going in Laos?" Zhao Rundong looked at Peng Maobang.

"Annihilate all Vietnamese troops in Laos within two days." After a slight pause, he said, "The counterinsurgency operation has also been deployed and ready to be launched." ”

"Capture Vientiane before annihilating the Vietnamese army, and then arrange for Hindaung to return to Vientiane and form a new government."

Peng Maobang nodded. "No problem, as long as the Vietnamese army is annihilated, it will be easy to put down the rebellion."

"The question now is whether we should recover the islands that have been seized by the Philippines." Zhao Rundong glanced at the two of them and said, "After Huang Guowei came back, I talked to him in detail. Of the four countries, the Philippines has the toughest attitude. This morning, Philippine Foreign Minister Alfonta left for Washington, making it clear that he wanted to get the support of the United States. If Vietnam does not take the initiative to escalate the conflict in the near future, we will have to shift our focus to the South China Sea and reclaim the occupied islands before the United States can respond. ”

"Recovering the island is a trifle." Pan Yunsheng sighed, "The relationship with ASEAN countries in the future is a major event. ”

Zhao Rundong smiled coldly and said: "The recovery of the Nansha Islands and the territorial waters of the South China Sea must not be delayed for several decades. The fact that the United States has not yet reacted suggests that there is a good chance that the United States will make a big move. We must cherish the opportunity at hand and resolve the territorial disputes as soon as possible. Relations with ASEAN can be handled slowly in the future. ”

"Fight first, and then talk about it when you're done." Peng Maobang's attitude is more direct.

Pan Yunsheng secretly smiled bitterly and said: "The problem can be looked at this way, and the focus at the moment is still Vietnam. ”

Zhao Rundong frowned slightly and looked at Pan Yunsheng.

"Last evening, I received news that Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Luong Ngoc met with US Ambassador Memphis, and US National Security Advisor Stockton was also present."

"Stockton? When did he get to Hanoi? ”

"The details are not clear, it should be disguised as a diplomat." Pan Yunsheng sighed, "I also learned that Stockton had secretly met with Ruan Liangyu when I received the news, but judging from the information obtained, Ruan Liangyu didn't know Stockton's identity yet. ”

"You planted a spy next to Ruan Liangyu?" Peng Maobang asked suddenly.

Pan Yunsheng smiled slightly, did not answer this question, and said: "Ruan Liangyu put forward several requests, hoping that the United States would provide military intelligence, weapons and equipment, and combat personnel, but Stockton only agreed to the first two requests, promising to provide more military assistance to Vietnam, but did not promise to send military personnel to participate in the war. ”

"In that case, the United States is prepared to spend a lot of money in Vietnam."

Sheng nodded and said, "Specifically, we are still trying to find out, and there is one thing that deserves our great attention. ”

"What?" Pang Xinglong and Peng Maobang asked at the same time

"Ruan Liangyu does not support Wu Sanming."

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise.

"You're saying that Nguyen Liangyu doesn't support fighting us?" Peng Maobang hurriedly asked.

Pan Yunsheng lit it, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said: "We all know that after Nguyen Luong Ngoc came to power in 2012, he has always advocated improving relations with our country, taking advantage of the opportunity of China's industrial ~ structural adjustment and the transfer of a large number of low-end industries to the surrounding areas to attract Chinese capital and promote Vietnam's economic development." On the issue of establishing a free trade area between China and ASEAN, Nguyen Luong Ngoc has made a great contribution. Judging from his personal background, we have reason to believe that Nguyen Luong Ngoc is a more pragmatic prime minister. ”

"He seems to have a Ph.D. in economics from Cambridge University?"

"Yes, both PhDs in Economics and Yi Xue were obtained at Cambridge University." Pan Yunsheng paused a little and said, "Ruan Liangyu's grandfather was an anti-American hero, and his uncle participated in the border conflict with China in the last century, and his family background is relatively deep. Of course, compared to Wu San~; Li Mingjie and others, he is much worse. ”

"Perhaps, Nguyen Luong Ngoc is the key to solving the Vietnamese question."

Peng Maobang frowned a few times and said, "Old Zhao, what do you mean, let Ruan Liangyu replace Wu Sanming?" ”

Zhao Run nodded slightly. "If Ruan Liangyu doesn't support this war, Wu Sanming will definitely squeeze him out. No matter what, Ruan Liangyu will not die for Wu Sanming. The key question is whether Ruan Liangyu has the ambition and ability to replace Wu Sanming. If there is, we can try to support Nguyen Liangyu. ”

"I think it's possible." Pan Sheng picked up another cigarette, "Judging from the information that has been obtained, Wu Sanming not only let his children go to the United States, but also transferred assets abroad. According to conservative estimates, Wu Sanming's amassed wealth will not be less than $15 billion. If Ruan Liangyu knew about these things, he would definitely regard Wu Sanming as a traitor to the country and the nation. Under such circumstances, as long as Nguyen Luong Ngoc is still a conscientious Vietnamese, he will oppose Vu Sanminh and even make the decision to replace Vu Sanming and lead Vietnam out of the predicament. ”

"The problem is that Ruan Liangyu doesn't have an army in his hands." Peng Maobang raised a very critical question.

"It doesn't matter if you have an army or not." Pan Yunsheng pondered for a while and said, "As long as we can get rid of Vu Sanming and other high-ranking Vietnamese leaders, Nguyen Liangyu will become the supreme leader of Vietnam." ”

"Do you have a way to get rid of Wu Sanming?" Zhao Rundong immediately frowned.

"You can't let the intelligence officers take action, you have to let the air force blow up Wu Sanming." Pan Yunsheng smiled bitterly and said, "If someone is sent to assassinate Wu Sanming, it will turn into a military coup, and the army may not obey Ruan Liangyu's command." If Wu Sanming is killed through military action, the army will rally around Nguyen Luong Ngoc. The problem is that Wu Sanming is very cautious, and he will immediately move his hiding place after meeting with Ruan Liangyu and the others. ”

"The Air Force has also been looking for opportunities for 'decapitation'." Peng Maobang also sighed, "At least two air strikes were launched against Wu Sanming, and the results were all for him to escape." ”

"This matter must be arranged carefully, and Wu Sanming must not be suspicious of Ruan Liangyu." Zhao Rundong looked at Pan Yunsheng and said, "Have the people you buried next to Ruan Liangyu exposed?" ”

Pan Yunsheng shook his head. "One-line contact, I can't even take the initiative to contact him."

"That's good, the key is to let Ruan Liangyu calm down, don't act rashly." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead and said, "If Ruan Liangyu can't stabilize and wants to get rid of Wu Sanming through a military coup, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"I try to try it and hope to get in touch with Nguyen Liangyu. Computer Reading Novel Access"

Zhao Rundong nodded. "You must be careful, you must not startle the snake."

Pan Yunsheng didn't say much, arranging intelligence work was his job.

"Lao Peng, you should also hurry up and strive to get rid of Wu Sanming as soon as possible."

"Do your best." Peng Maobang sighed, "I'll discuss it with Xiang Linghui in detail after I go back and see if there is any other way." ”

"Xiao Pan, you have to match as much as possible"

"No problem, it's our job."

Zhao Rundong nodded and said, "Let's talk about this for the time being, and when Pang Xinglong has the results, I will call you again." ”

Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang immediately got up and said goodbye.

Will there be a result on Pang Xinglong's side? Not only did Peng Maobang not believe it, but even Pan Yunsheng did not believe it. If the United Nations could resolve international disputes, the United States would not have attacked Iran, and the Republic would not have attacked Vietnam. In the end, it was nothing more than mutual compromise and unhappy breakup.

Asking Pang Xinglong to go to the United Nations to "accuse" Vietnam is just a necessary diplomatic hand.
