Chapter 241: Countermeasures

It is actually very easy to overthrow the Ngo Dinh Diem brothers who broke the jar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They were so angry that they didn't have much popular support, and the army was no longer obedient to them, and the only armed forces they could use were a few battalions of special forces and a secret police with little combat effectiveness.

However, a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow the president of a republic that is at least nominally legitimate would have far-reaching political implications. Once the "coup mode" is enabled, you can stage a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow someone else today, and someone else can also launch a coup d'Γ©tat to overthrow you tomorrow.

Moreover, the people are always "ungrateful," and now they are all opposed to the "Wu family's world" and are eager for Ngo Dinh Diem to step down immediately, but once they find that the new government is not satisfactory to them, and the economic and social order is not as good as before, they will miss Ngo Dinh Diem who they once hated.

So whoever initiates or participates in the coup d'Γ©tat will leave a huge stain on politics.

Because of this, neither the "Department of Industry and Investment" nor the "Yuehua Literature and Art Research Association" ever thought of using force to solve the problem like Ruan Zhengshi, Wang Wendong and other officers of the Young Zhuang faction.

In addition, the last thing that South Vietnam lacked was careerists.

Compared with Wu Dinh Diem, who has never really grasped military power, Yang Wenming, Tran Son Kim, Le Van Chi, Nguyen Thanh, Nguyen Van Thieu, Tran Van Tun and other military leaders are the biggest threat, and they are dissatisfied with the current government's agreement, and the reason why they have endured it until now is that they have not won clear support from the United States, and second, they do not want to give the "industrial investment system" the opportunity to catch cicadas and yellow finches.

In addition, there are also civil officials whose influence is not small, such as Nguyen Ngoc Tho, Vo Van Mu, and Le Ngoc Zhen, who have a very tense relationship with the "industrial investment system", as well as opposition politicians such as Phan Ha Chou, Phan Hue Kuo, Tran Van Huong, and Nguyen Van Loc who oppose the Yan government and are wary of the rising star of the "industrial investment system".

Now, Ngo Dinh Diem is determined to set the finger at the "Chinese group" instead of the "industrial investment department", which is indeed the most severe challenge encountered since the establishment of the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association."

After all, the Chinese have been naturalized for less than ten years, and have not yet truly integrated into the country, they are giants economically and an infant in politics. As for the military, the Chinese alone will not only be unable to hold the Golden Ou Peninsula, but even if they can barely hold it, they will not be able to resist the possible future attacks of North Vietnam.

Not to mention the slightest hint of trying to establish oneself in Vietnam. It will attract unanimous opposition at home and abroad, and I am afraid that even the "industrial investment system," which seems to be united and seems to be monolithic, will be in danger of falling apart.

What I was afraid of, what I was most worried about finally happened.

Li Weimin was worried, and He Tianming, who had just pushed off the evening party to find out the situation. Put down the telegram and analyzed: "Mr. Li, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, in my opinion, it's better for this timed bomb to detonate early than late." Because as we have more and more people, the power grows. Sooner or later, someone will jump out and provoke ********.

In fact, it was not Wu Tingyan who wanted to do this the most, after all, it didn't do him much good, but he had to take risks because of pressure from all sides. Hanoi should be the one who wants to light the fire the most, but they need Beijing's support and dare not easily incite anti-China sentiment. ”

Bystanders are clear, and his analysis does have some truth. Li Weimin nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue.

He Tianming and Sun Ningyu glanced at each other, and then said, "Frankly speaking, over the past few years, I have discussed this issue with Wenshui and them more than once. There is a very apt metaphor for Wen Shui, who compares South Vietnam to a sick person. Compare anti-Chinese exclusion to a virus that cannot be prevented by a vaccine. If you don't stay in places where you can easily be infected by the virus, it will be difficult to cure the virus once you are infected.

Since this virus is difficult to cure and it is impossible to completely eliminate it, why not take the initiative to infect under the premise of control, infect it several times, and treat it in time, so that antibodies can gradually be formed, and patients can have a certain immunity to the virus. He believes that only with this therapy can the threat be minimized. In the end, it will achieve the ultimate goal that people are accustomed to and do not care. ”

"Our previous therapy was too conservative?"

"It can't be said to be conservative, after all, it is obviously inappropriate and dangerous to use this kind of radical therapy at a time when nationalism is at its highest."

The times make heroes. The environment exercises people.

Their generation of Chinese young people has grown up very quickly, and Li Weimin is very relieved to have such a strong sense of crisis and think of such a distance, and while motioning for them to sit down, he asked, "Is it appropriate to use this therapy now?" ”

"It's not that we don't adopt it, it's that we don't have a choice."

He Tianming took the cigarette, raised the lighter to his mouth and put it down. "I agree with some of the opinions of Mr. Qian and Mr. Gu, Diem is trying to use ******** to divert attention, why can't we use religious contradictions to divert attention?" ”

Buddhists who are getting more and more aggressive can indeed take advantage of it, and the key is how to use it.

Li Weimin was not very satisfied with Qian Xinlin and Gu Changgeng's response plan, especially when it came to the issue of arresting the secret police of Ngo Dinh Yao. In this extremely sensitive and critical period, no matter what you do, you must be famous, you can catch it on the embankment, you have the right to catch it in the industrial village, why should you do it in other places?

If you stretch your hand that long, doesn't it tell everyone that you are really ambitious?

During this time, He Tianming has been familiar with the company's affairs, and at the same time has been in constant contact with American dignitaries, and has a certain sense of the overall situation, obviously having taken this into account, Li Weimin looked at him with encouraging eyes, and said in a low voice: "Tell me about the parts that I don't agree with." ”

"Mr. Lee, I think the problem of Ngo Dinh Diem is not only a problem for us, but also a problem for all those who want to reform in the government and the national army, and it is an urgent problem that the United States needs to solve. Intelligence indicated that North Vietnam was in the process of re-establishing the Southern Bureau, with the new Southern Bureau located in Cambodia rather than in South Vietnam.

In addition, at least 10,000 North Vietnamese People's Army (KPA) troops have infiltrated the south, and it can be said that the situation is even more dire than it was before the launch of Operation Uppercut. At this critical moment, how to deal with the retaliation of the Vietnamese G is the first priority. I believe that everyone, including US politicians and Yang Wenming, and other high-ranking members of the national army, do not want to see Diem Dinh Diem repeatedly causing trouble. ”

Intensifying religious contradictions will only attract opposition from Buddhists and cause a certain amount of social turmoil.

Inciting the people to oppose the Chinese and the Chinese and provoke ******** is not as simple as social unrest, but will directly lead to the economic collapse of South Vietnam, and even trigger a civil war in which the relatives are bitter and the enemies are happy.

Li Weimin weighed it again and said resolutely: "Ning Yu." When Mr. Qian called back, the people had been informed of the general situation, and there were several immature opinions for reference: First, whether the priest could continue to stay in the church. We still hold a consistent position and do not support, oppose or express our views; Second, the priest plays with fire as a problem that all people of insight need to face together, and it is recommended to discuss and deal with it with all parties;

Third, the ignition must and can only be more than g. The arrest operation must be carried out by a unit with the corresponding authority; Fourth, Ah Shui's 'infection therapy' has won my heart, and it is inevitable that we should actively deal with it; fifth, the stock market and foreign exchange market can be used to relieve our pressure with economic benefits......"

Putting the basin on the head of North Vietnam is not a "revenge with virtue".

Sooner or later, Wu Tingyan will be finished, and there is no need to fall into the well. Rather than making people suspect that the "industrial investment system" was involved in the collapse of the Wu brothers, leaving a political stain, it is better to create some trouble for North Vietnam. Let's see if we can make some variables in Vietnam-China-Soviet relations, which are already very delicate. After all, Hanoi has always been one of the biggest threats to both the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association" and the "Department of Industry and Investment".

After receiving Li Weimin's urgent telegram, Qian Xinlin, Gu Changgeng, Gui Qingshan, and Jiang Wenshui, who were intensively studying countermeasures, had clearer ideas and more confidence in their hearts.

The time was urgent, and Gui Qingshan quickly dialed the internal phone of the director of the G-1 workshop: "Lao Jing, I, Gui Qingshan, immediately contact 'Mango' to inform Richardson of the general situation, and be sure to convince the US side that what Jialong Palace has done will push the situation out of control." ”

"Yes. Get in touch now. ”

As soon as he gave the order, Gu Changgeng asked eagerly: "Lao Gui, who can fight for the police system of the Ministry of the Interior?" ”

As an organization whose mission is to defend the interests of the Chinese, the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association" will never allow Ngo Dinh Dih's secret police and special forces to disguise themselves as civilians. There are not many government officials who organize and incite people who do not know the truth to smash and loot the businesses run by the Chinese, and there are not many government officials who can stop this kind of vile behavior.

Gui Qingshan went through all the Nanyue officials in his mind, and muttered: "Chen Jinxuan is not a fool, he will not go to the dark with Wu Tingyan and Wu Tingyao. This can be seen from his deliberate avoidance of 'Operation Playing with Fire'. But we don't have enough to take that risk. Not only Chen Shiguo and Qin Nanjian want to come forward. The US side will also come forward, and it will give him a promise. ”

Chen Jinxuan, director of the Bureau of Political Culture and Social Investigation, is different from Dai Li, a former military commander, and although he has the same bad record, he has received a higher education, studied in France, and has a doctorate in law. It's not that the Ngo Dinh Diem brothers are dead hearted, but they have done too many bad things, and the Americans don't want to see them.

He is not having a good time now, if he can give him a promise to take a reassurance pill that will not be reused by the queen of the autumn, he will most likely not hesitate to betray the Ngo Dinh Diem brothers.

Qian Xinlin nodded slightly, and said conclusively: "I'll contact the industrial investment company, the Americans will let Qin Nanjian do the work, you first let Jiang Chao and Han Shuo contact Chen Jinxuan to find out his tone." Prepare both hands at the same time, and you can't put your eggs in one basket. ”

Ngo Ht's plan of action is on hand.

The safety of the lives and property of thousands of Chinese was at stake, and Gui Qingshan dared not take it lightly, and stood up and said: "The 5th Infantry Division, the Embankment Police Station, the Vung Tau Industrial Village Security Team, and the Da Nang Industrial Village Security Team have all been notified, and the Detective Team, Emergency Anti-Terrorist Team, and Security Team Reconnaissance Team are all in place.

The 23 detachments of the special forces of the 4th Tactical Region were all on their way to Bien Hoa, Tay Ninh, Xuan Loc, Phan Thiet, Bao Loc, Quy Nhon, Hue and other cities. Reconnaissance units of the 25th, 26th and 27th Divisions are being mobilized and will be ready to go by 4 p.m. at the latest. ”

Mr. Li is right, the more this time is the more unable to give people a handle. A do-it-yourself arrest is a backup plan, and no action can be taken unless it is absolutely necessary.

Gu Changgeng pondered for a moment and proposed: "Lao Qian, let's divide the work, Lao Gui is responsible for intelligence and operations, I am responsible for contacting the major chambers of commerce, Ah Shui is in charge of the media, and you are in the middle of the coordination." ”

"Okay, that's it, contact me if there is any news."

At the same time, Chen Shiguo and Qin Nanjian were sitting in the conference room of the headquarters of the Vung Tau Industrial Village of the Industrial Investment Company, receiving four Vietnamese Chinese representatives who had arrived in a hurry: Zhang Yinggui, Huang Yasheng, Huang Duqing, and Zhang Muxiang.

After several years away from Vietnam, Hoang has faded into obscurity, so much so that many people do not know that he was once a Nong leader with an army of more than 10,000 men. Huang Duqing, who has been a prison warden on Phu Quoc Island for so many years, is also not well known.

In contrast, Truong Anh Gui, a former major general of the 5th Infantry Division and a member of parliament for three consecutive terms, and Truong Mu Huong, president of Saigon Bank, director of Nanyang Bank and vice chairman of the Vietnam Banking Association, are much more famous, appearing frequently on television and in newspapers, and are household names.

Others don't know the weight of Huang Yasheng and Huang Duqing, and Chen Shiguo can't be unclear. After listening to everyone's introduction, he asked suspiciously: "Mr. Zhang, General Huang, is your news accurate?" ”

"As you know, we're sensitive to some things, and we have a little bit of influence over the Embankment Police Department, so we're more concerned about that. Our concerns have proved to be very reasonable, and the Fifth District Police Department Chief Han Shuo has confirmed that the information is true, and I believe that you will be notified soon, Mr. Guo. ”

The predecessor of the Embankment Police Station was the Foreigner-Managed Police Brigade, and the Foreigner-Managed Police Brigade was adapted from the Nong troops who were withdrawn from North Vietnam.

As for why the banker Zhang Muxiang appeared here, it has a lot to do with his identity. Because he is different from Chinese industrialists such as Wu Jingchen, Ma Anyi, and Huang Ziheng, he is the "second generation" of Vietnamese Chinese representatives invited from Indonesia by the industrial investment company through investment promotion. Compared with the old Chinese tycoon with certain historical roots, he is more sensitive to the political situation in Vietnam and has a stronger sense of crisis.

Now there are four of them, and if the information is true, the conference room may not be able to sit down, and the phone is very likely to be blown up.

Tran Shiguo knew better than anyone else the importance of Chinese businessmen to Vietnam's economy, and said with a serious face: "I need to report to the chairman immediately, and at the same time I can assure the four of you that we will definitely study countermeasures and take corresponding measures to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the Chinese in the industrial villages and the six lower provinces, and do everything possible to prevent such atrocities from happening."
