Chapter 187: Public Opinion War
The "Department of Industry and Investment" has activated its propaganda machine, and all major cities and rural areas in the lower six provinces are full of reports on the "Southern National Liberation Front," television, radio, movies, newspapers, magazines, leaflets, posters, and ...... Overwhelming.
In terms of economy, the South is better than the North.
In terms of living standards, the people of the South are higher than those of the North.
Not to mention the working class in the industrial villages, which have realized their ultimate dreams of "going upstairs and downstairs", "televising and telephone", and "going out and taking a car", even most of the peasants own a small boat, and a Vung Thao product can be installed on the boat as an engine, and can also be taken down to drag the pumping machine of gasoline generators.
Radios and small domestically produced rice mills have spread to almost every household, and some farmers have already ridden motorcycles, and bicycles can be seen everywhere.
In the past few years, North Vietnam has been busy with land reform and purges, and many rural areas have not even solved the problem of food and clothing.
From the perspective of economic development, people's living standards, medical and educational conditions, and individual rights, it is self-evident who is superior and who is inferior.
The industrial investment company's habit of using data to speak, coupled with the joint-stock system process in full swing, has not only stabilized the internal morale of the "industrial investment system", but also eliminated to a certain extent the adverse impact brought about by the establishment of the Southern National Liberation Front.
Phan Quang Dan, a leading opposition figure in exile in Phnom Penh, made a special public statement yesterday morning, saying that opposing the dictatorship of the Ngo Dinh Diem brothers does not mean that he supports the Southern National Liberation Front, which is trying to implement the totalitarian system of Soviet Russia.
Call on people to take action to overthrow the government of Diem Dinh Diem in various ways. At the same time, he called on people not to be fooled by North Vietnam and the South National Liberation Front controlled by North Vietnam. Because South Vietnam pursued democracy and freedom, not North Vietnam.
His view won the support of most opposition figures. Even some centrists think it makes sense.
Ngo Dinh Diem was shot while lying down. Li Weimin, who was at the center of public opinion, couldn't cry or laugh. In order to avoid being asked about his opinion on Comrade Pan's viewpoint during an interview with reporters, he simply disappeared and hid far away, pretending that he did not know anything.
The company has been established for more than 6 years, everything is on the right track, and he no longer needs to do the specific affairs himself, as long as he has a good grasp of the direction.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and I didn't become a full-time wife. Instead, Wu Lijun, who works as an ordinary music teacher at Phu Quoc No. 3 Middle School, ushered in her annual leave.
The young couple handed over the children to the old man, boarded the luxury yacht bought by Ma Anyi for a few months, and prepared to take a sea trip from the Gulf of Thailand to Da Nang.
When a big boss travels, safety along the way is more important than anything else.
The southern seas are fine, and the pirates have long been chased away by the Coast Guard, but the waters from Da Nang to Vung Tau are not safe, and North Vietnam often uses fishing boats to transport troops and weapons to the south, which is how the armed forces of the Southern National Liberation Front in the Zhensha area developed.
The yacht has just left port. A gunboat belonging to the Reserve Officer Training Team of the former Phu Quoc Institute of Technology and now part of the Coast Guard Patrol Brigade of the Border Guard Command of the Kimgull Peninsula followed.
Work and leisure at the same time. Sang Pingxiang's newlywed wife also came, talking with Wu Lijun on the back deck.
Li Weimin looked back at the gunboat, smiled with fruit and asked, "Pingxiang, how many years have you been a secretary?" ”
Sang Pingxiang was stunned for a moment, put down the document and said: "From the Spring Festival of 56 to the present, it will be exactly 5 years in ten days." Chairman, how do you ask this. ”
The first batch of people who studied abroad have returned one after another, and the first few who have returned have been working for more than a year in the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association" and are basically familiar with the situation.
According to the plan formulated six years ago, He Tianming, Jiang Wenshui and others, who have been sticking to their posts, will go abroad to see the world. In the past few years, he has followed him everywhere every day and often goes abroad, so he doesn't need to go abroad for further study like them, but he has already started a family and can't take up too much of his time.
Li Weimin weighed it, picked a grape and said with a smile: "Binh Xiang, Da Nang Industrial Village lacks a deputy manager, if you are interested, and your wife has no opinion, you will take office after the New Year." ”
Da Nang Industrial Estate is the northernmost industrial village of the Industrial Investment Company, and like Binh Dong and Vung Tau Industrial Villages, its security team is not under the jurisdiction of the newly established Border Guard Command of the Golden Ou Peninsula, and the temporary deputy manager is in charge of the security team, in other words, he is asked to lead the troops.
The deputy manager of the industrial village is not something that anyone can have the opportunity to do, Sang Binh Xiang is of course interested, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said: "Chairman, I have never been a soldier, I have not participated in any form of military training, I have no experience at all, and Da Nang is so close to the demilitarized zone, and the North Vietnamese People's Army and local guerrillas are frequently active, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it." ”
"Yu Chang hasn't been a soldier, isn't he doing a good job?"
After Li Weimin finished eating the grapes, he smiled casually: "Military training and fighting, there is a security captain in charge." The deputy manager in charge is equivalent to the political commissar of the North Vietnamese People's Army, mainly responsible for the ideological work of officers and soldiers, and is responsible for the promotion of officers above the rank of squadron leader. You have been by my side for so long and have experienced so many things, and I still have this ability, and I have confidence in you. ”
Da Nang Industrial Estate is close to Hoi An Chinese District, there are not many large enterprises, and there are many small enterprises, as many as 321!
With a total of more than 200,000 workers and their families, after nearly seven years of development, it has become a new seaside city that surpasses the ancient city of Hoi An. In order to ensure the safety of the industrial estate and the smooth flow of roads and railways leading to the Da Nang Pier, the number of security teams in the industrial estates is second only to the Phu Quoc Special Zone Security Force.
More than 3,000 people, equivalent to two standard regiments.
The more Sang Pingxiang thought about it, the more excited he became, but he didn't have much confidence in himself.
Looking at his appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Li Weimin said meaningfully: "Binh Xiang, Da Nang Industrial Village is not like Binh Dong Industrial Village, which can rely on the embankment police station, there are not as many garrisons around Saigon, and the nearest Vung Tau Industrial Village is hundreds of kilometers away. The law and order situation is grim, and I am responsible for ensuring the safety of the Chinese compatriots in Hoi An. ”
The southern industrial village is almost connected, and the Da Nang industrial village hangs alone in the north.
According to the plan drawn up by the Reserve Officer Training Team of Phu Quoc Institute of Technology, once the North Vietnamese move southward and several divisions of the 1st Tactical Area are defeated, Da Nang Industrial Village will have to hold on alone for at least 72 hours, depending on the situation of the war, to buy time for a large number of personnel to evacuate, or wait for reinforcements from reserve troops from other industrial villages.
This burden is heavy, and the heavier it is, the more challenging it becomes.
Sang Pingxiang pondered for a moment and resolutely agreed: "The chairman trusts me so much, then I'll try." ”
"Runwei has formulated a combat readiness plan, and after you take office, you will quietly organize and implement it, and the corresponding resources will be tilted towards you, and strive to build Da Nang Industrial Village into an impregnable fortress and a base for a Jedi counterattack within five years."
"Yes!"
"Don't be so serious, you're not a soldier, tell me what's the news on the North Vietnamese side."
Sang Pingxiang smiled embarrassedly, picked up the materials and reported: "Hanoi didn't expect that we would give the Southern National Liberation Front a blow to the head, and I didn't even know about the assassination plan of the 'Hua-Yun' on the embankment against you, Mr. Guo, Mr. Liu, and Deputy Manager Dong. I want to deny it, but the evidence is conclusive.
Simply tear your face and declare that you are a reactionary Chinese capitalist who supports the Ngo Dinh Diem regime in sabotaging the Geneva Accords, obstructing the reunification of the North and the South, and implementing a dictatorial and high-pressure policy. Fabricated a whole bunch of evidence about your corruption, embezzlement of state assets, exploitation and enslavement of the working class.
Mr. Qian and Mr. Guo have been prepared for a long time and are refuting their baseless accusations one by one through the media. The latest poll results show that they have not only failed to smear you, but have instead made more people aware of the truth. Mr. Qian believes that this war of words should continue until they are burned out. ”
In the war of public opinion, the "industrial investment system" has the home advantage.
They can only sprinkle leaflets through the radio or on the covert, and the "industrial investment department" has deep pockets and has the "big killer weapon" of television media in its hands; it has six radio stations, more than 30 newspapers and magazines, and the support of more than 20 film companies headed by DreamWorks.
Don't say that it is reasonable now, even if it is not reasonable, you can still make a reason.
Li Weimin was happy, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't patronize me, you should publicize Mr. Guo and Jiachang more, and publicize Jingchen and their group of congressmen." ”
Mr. Qian and Mr. Gu took into account that Mr. Wu and Mr. Ma had a lot of charity activities during this time, and they all followed up and reported. In addition, the movie "Embankment Wealthy", which is based on the entrepreneurial history of Mr. Huang's family for several generations, will be officially released the day after tomorrow. I took the time to read the script, it was very inspirational, similar to the 'America-Dream', it was very educational, and it could prevent North Vietnam from inciting the local people to hate the rich and exclude China. ”
"Well thought out, anything else?"
"There is a piece of information sent by the Korean Bureau, I don't know if the news you deliberately revealed to Ngo Dinh Dieh was transmitted to Hanoi through Nguyen Ngoc Cho, or whether the assassination attempt on the embankment 'Hua-Yun' made the Southern National Liberation Front very passive, and the relationship between the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of North Vietnam and Beijing changed dramatically.
A week ago, the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of North Vietnam decided to abolish the Central Committee's 'Hua-Yun Ban' and set up the 'Hua-Yun Division' and appointed Ngo Lien, Zhuang Yong, and Tran Tien Thien Thien as the chief and deputy directors of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party, which were placed under the leadership of the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party. It is said that the 'Hua-Yun Division' can continue to enjoy the original political rights of the 'Hua-Yun Class'.
As in the past, you can go to the Central Committee of the Workers' Party to attend meetings, listen to reports, read documents, participate in studies, and so on. However, these political rights remained only on paper, and the plenary session of the Central Committee the morning before yesterday was not notified to the 'Huayun Division'. ”
This information is very interesting.
Li Weimin took the materials and looked at them for a while, and said in a deep voice: "It may be related to the differences between the international communist movement and the increasingly intensified contradictions between China and the Soviet Union." Send a telegram to Mr. Qian and the Korean Bureau, asking them to think of a way to use the spies in the North Vietnamese government to give Hanoi the "Hua-Yun" an eye medicine to see if they can stop the "Hua-Yun" on the embankment.
