The reason for setting up the Da Nang Industrial Estate in Hoi An instead of Da Nang, which has better conditions.

First, the new government has just taken over, and the city is in chaos, and now it is impossible to do anything at all; Second, Da Nang and Hue are the largest cities in northern South Vietnam, and there are Viet Minh underground organizations, which will become the key targets of North Vietnamese attacks in the future; In addition, there are many overseas Chinese in Hoi An, and the industrial village is located here to take care of compatriots and facilitate financing.

Making money is the right thing to do, and those black sheep who engage in illegal business and commit adultery are completely to blame. The things that should be said have been said for them, the feelings that should be asked for have been begged for them, and the government has no way to strictly order the investigation and prosecution of anyone. At the end of the banquet, a total of 16 investment and factory intentions were reached.

The industrial investment company has set up an infrastructure project headquarters and an investment promotion department in Hoi An, and specific people have specific people to discuss and handle.

Li Weimin could not stay here for long, so as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he got into a sedan and returned to Da Nang under the escort of more than a dozen Nong policemen from the 3rd Squadron of the Foreigners Management Police Brigade, and rushed to Haiphong in a C-47 transport plane piloted by Nguyen Gao Qi.

Nguyen Minh Xiu and Lim Gia Sang did not go to Hoi An and stayed at the airport to receive and receive telegrams.

There were too many things, and as soon as I saw the big boss, he reported: "Chairman, the third batch of refugees has just set off, with a total of 6,692 people, including 1,754 villagers in Nong District. Due to the limited reception capacity of Vung Tau and Saigon, the refugee committee decided that 2,656 of them would be disembarked in Vung Tau and Saigon respectively, while the rest would be resettled by us. ”

Chia Long Palace is not a hall of words now, and Ngo Dinh Diem must fully listen to the opinions of Defense Minister Le Ngoc Chin and others. They did not want Phu Quoc Island to become a Chinese island, so they used the limited reception capacity as an excuse to put sand in Tan Nong District.

As expected, Li Weimin greeted Ruan Gaoqi and smiled casually: "We will settle us, send a telegram to General Huang Duqing and Mr. Qian, and ask them to prepare accordingly." ”

Nong refugees seem to be many, but there are still too few Vietnamese, and Catholics are the objects that must be united.

Ruan Mingxiu smiled tacitly: "It has been notified, and it should not be a problem to receive more than 4,000 people at a time." ”

"So sure?"

"The preliminary preparations are good, there is a camp left by Huang Jie's regiment on the island, there are tents that have been transported in advance, and it is close to Kampong Son Port (Sihanoukville) and Ha Tien, so enough food can be procured."

"What about transportation?"

It's not fun to stay in Nong District for so long, Ruan Mingxiu smiled and said: "Chairman, not only you Chaozhou people can do business, but Nong people can do business too." Two months ago, Mr. Xu and Mr. Jin Lao and other seniors in Nong District jointly raised funds to purchase three cargo ships and set up a shipping company. A few other wealthy Nong businessmen set up a fishing company and ordered several trawlers from the Wu Kee Shipyard.

To ensure that the fish caught do not spoil, it is also planned to invest in a freezing plant. Hearing that there was a coal mine on the island, they were going to set up a coal company to dig coal. Coupled with the expansion of the airport and wharf in Phu Quoc Industrial Village, everyone who goes there basically has something to do. ”

Li Weimin was happy, fastened his seat belt and said with a smile: "That's right, Thailand and Cambodia are so close, and the grain is so cheap, what future can farming have." ”

"Chairman, in fact, the church has different opinions on this issue, and several priests are reluctant to bring refugees there."

During the period of French colonial rule, only the northeast coast and large cities such as Saigon, Hanoi, and Haiphong were seriously polarized, and Saigon, Vung Tau, Da Nang, and Bok Lieu were economically developed, and the living standards of the common people, especially urban residents, were relatively high, while the rural areas in the south and west were economically backward, and some mountain people in some places were even in the primitive era of slash-and-burn farming.

It is normal for people to go to high places and water to flow to low places, and they are reluctant to go to poor mountains and remote places.

Thinking that North Vietnam would infiltrate South Vietnam on a large scale in a few years, Li Weimin said lightly: "They are not willing to go to us, and whoever asks us to send people under the fence is not qualified to put forward conditions." ”

The plan is not as good as the change, Nguyen Minh Xiu flipped out another telegram and reported in a low voice: "Chairman, the Refugee Committee has made some changes to our resettlement plan, requiring the resettlement of 20,000 to 30,000 refugees to Zhensha area, and the resettlement of 30,000 to 40,000 refugees to Tay Ninh Province. ”

Located between Sai Kung and the South China Sea, the Zhensha area is a swampy area covered with mangroves. It covers an area of about 900 square kilometres, and all the rivers leading to Sai Kung are located in that area.

Dense vegetation, numerous streams, and mud bogs, intertwined mangroves, and dense palm groves create obstacles on both sides of the river. And there are often heavy floods, and when the tide recedes, a large number of marshes are left behind, and the silt is often as deep as a person. In the inland areas of the upper reaches of the river, the relatively dry ground is mostly covered by dense forests, and when you look down from the air, you can only see a thick green canopy, which is the most impassable area in South Vietnam.

Known to the Vietnamese locals as the "Assassin's Forest," Zhen Sa has been a haven for pirates, smugglers and bandits who operate between the rivers and the South China Sea for centuries. For the Viet Minh, who are unwilling to divide the country, Zhensha is undoubtedly an ideal place of refuge.

It is so close to the capital Saigon that it is a strategic location.

As for Tay Ninh Province, which is close to the parrot's beak area of Cambodia and is only more than 50 kilometers away from Saigon, the strategic location is equally important.

Nguyen Minh Xiu reminded: "The telegram was drafted by Ngo Dinh Dieh himself, and he asked you to understand and do the work of being a nong." ”

Is the Zhensha area a place for people to stay, the US Navy SEALs tried their best to use all kinds of tricks, but they were never able to get rid of the guerrillas entrenched in Zhensha. Xining is even more dangerous, it is the main channel for North Vietnam to penetrate into the Mekong Delta, doesn't this roast the villagers of Nong District on the fire?

Rejection is easy, and the consequences of problem rejection can be severe.

Li Weimin didn't want to affect the overall situation, so he weighed it a little and said coldly: "Reply to the refugee committee, these two areas are too important, and tens of thousands of Guangnon people are far from enough, and I hope that the committee can resettle the same number of Catholic refugees." At the same time, self-defense forces must be formed, and priority should be given to the supply of weapons and equipment. ”

"Okay."

The more Li Weimin thought about it, the more angry he became, and added: "The Fifth Infantry Division cannot be withdrawn, let alone broken up and reorganized, and the 3rd Regiment, which has just been reorganized into a foreigner-managed police brigade, needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible by transferring officers to supplement the troops and garrison Xining to ensure the safety of the refugee resettlement villages in Xining Province." ”

Nguyen Minh Xiu cautiously asked, "For the people, can Ngo Dinh Yen and Ngo Dinh Yen agree?" ”

"They're not stupid and will agree."

……

After receiving Li Weimin's telegram, Wu Tingyan looked at Wu Tingyan and Li Yuzhen and said: "Weimin must be very angry, otherwise he would never have put forward conditions." ”

Wu Tingjiao looked down at the map for a while, looked up and said: "National defense is more important than the economy, he should be able to understand." The Fifth Infantry Division will not withdraw if it does not withdraw, and it is just right to change guards with Zheng Mingshi. ”

Zheng Mingshi has promised to accept the reorganization of the government, and the Vietnam-Cambodia border cannot be unfortified, and there are too few troops that can be mobilized at present, and the Fifth Infantry will undoubtedly be able to solve the urgent need if it is not withdrawn.

Li Yuzhen groaned: "The combat effectiveness of the Nong division is still relatively strong, and it is no problem to change the defense by sea, what should I do in the future?" ”

"The Nong people are settled in several southern provinces, the farthest as Phu Quoc. There are only 20,000 or 30,000 Nong refugees in Xining, and there are only a few resettlement villages, what problems can there be? ”

Anyone can defect to the Viet Minh, but the Nong division cannot.

Xining Province is also the base camp of the Cao Dai Sect, and it is impossible for a Nong division withdrawn from the north to have a mass base, and Huang Yasheng has already gone to France yesterday, and he has no leader, no population, and is attacked on both sides, so there is no possibility of continuing to be a warlord.

Thinking of this, Li Yuzhen nodded: "Then don't withdraw or reorganize, let them replenish the troops and directly garrison Xining." ”

Wu Tingyao sighed lightly, lit a cigarette and said, "In the end, for the people, it is still biased towards the Chinese. ”

Wu Tingyan shook his head and said, "Don't say that, who in this world is not selfish?" If it weren't for the sake of his countrymen, he wouldn't have had to go bankrupt and run for the government as he is now. ”

Mobilize Chinese businessmen to invest in industry and develop the country's industry and economy. Promoting the naturalization of Chinese in Vietnam and finding ways to promote national reconciliation and national unity are all things that the government should do.

"Anyway, the goal is the same."

In terms of relationship, the relationship between the Li family and Ruan Wenxin is deeper.

At a time when no one was optimistic about the new government, he resolutely chose to stand on the side of the government, and even did not hesitate to show up to go to Hanoi and Haiphong to organize the evacuation of refugees to the south. What's more, people are not supporting it now, and they have been running abroad as early as the Battle of Dien Bien Phu.

It was already too much to resettle tens of thousands of Nong people in the most dangerous places, and Wu Tingyan didn't want to affect the relationship between them because of this, so he suddenly turned on a straight face: "It's better to have one more person to support than one less person to support, and don't say these disunited words in the future, especially not in front of the people, otherwise he will be cold." ”

Of course, Wu Tingjiao knew that Li Weimin didn't want military power, but just wanted the Nong resettlement site to protect itself, so he hurriedly said: "How is it possible." ”
