The issue of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia is the most troublesome issue for the Nationalist Government.

Since the founding father was determined to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia have provided assistance to the Kuomintang, especially in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the foreign exchange used by the Nationalist Government to purchase war materials came from donations and remittances from overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia.

The Kuomintang has set up party offices in Hanoi, Saigon, Manila, Singapore, Penang, Jakarta, Surabaya, and other major cities in Southeast Asian countries, and has developed a large number of Kuomintang members. For the convenience of travel, as long as there is a little status and a little money, almost all people have a national government passport.

In a legal sense, most of the more than one million overseas Chinese living in South Vietnam are nationals of the Nationalist Government; From a moral point of view, the Nationalist Government should be responsible for the more than 100 overseas Chinese.

Determination is to show Wu Tingyan, with the Nationalist Government, the "big wrongdoer", Li Weimin will not be stupid enough to be pointed out by thousands of people.

In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog, and Vietnam is dying and injured every day.

In the "human meat market" on the side of the road from the embankment in the urban area, women from good families are forced into prostitution almost every day. In this era when even the prince's daughter will be kidnapped, the five girls are being destroyed by unscrupulous businessmen, and it is not even news.

The same thing happens in different places, at different times, and involves different people, and the outcome can be very different.

Hundreds of thousands of Catholics are gathering in more than 30 refugee camps in five North Vietnamese provinces and cities, including Hanoi and Haiphong, and their spirits are at their most tense and prone to accidents.

Moreover, the eyes of the whole world are now focused on Vietnam, there are more than a dozen international organizations in South Vietnam and North Vietnam, and thousands of humanitarian volunteers and media reporters have arrived one after another.

Whether it is out of the protection of overseas Chinese, out of public opinion, or out of the anti-Soviet and Russian camp of "huddling together for warmth", the Nationalist Government must actively cooperate.

As soon as it received Taipei's reply, the Consulate General in Saigon immediately convened a meeting of the leaders of the five gangs and representatives from all walks of life to report on the "Haiphong female militia incident" and the Vietnamese government's "Interim Regulations on the Administration of Foreigners" to be implemented, to inform the overseas Chinese leaders of the seriousness of the incident, to mobilize overseas Chinese from all walks of life to donate money, to call on overseas Chinese from all walks of life to abide by discipline and law, and to suggest that the Chinese Council actively cooperate with the foreigners' management committee newly established by the government to fire the first shot of the "operation to clean up the portal."

Not only does Li Weimin not have to be a leading bird, but even the Huaqing Association does not have to rush to the front. If you want to scold, you can only scold Haiphong, the black sheep who is not sorry to die, and you can only scold the incompetence of the national government.

The campaign is being prepared and will be officially rolled out in a few days.

The 3rd Regiment of the 5th Infantry Division, which was disarmed and escorted to Saigon by the French army, collectively took off its military uniform, changed into a police uniform, picked up a gun again, and turned into a foreigner-managed police brigade directly subordinate to the "Foreigners' Management Committee".

Headquartered in Saigon, Hoi An, Vung Tau, Bo Lieu, Te Seh and other cities with a large number of foreigners each have a squadron, and cities with fewer foreigners each have a squadron. With the cooperation of the Chinese Youth Association, they began to count the number of foreigners in their respective jurisdictions, collect information on foreigners engaged in illegal and criminal activities, and wait for the committee to clean up the black sheep under the order.

After Huang Jie's corps withdrew from Taiwan, the French built a prison on Phu Quoc Island to detain anti-French elements.

Major General Huang Duqing's "mutiny" occurred after the Geneva Agreement was announced, and the Expeditionary Force Command had no right to dismiss him from his military post. The Ministry of National Defense will not reuse this kind of Nong general with a criminal record, and the General Staff will not reuse it either, but simply implement the policy of "using China to contain China" to the end, let him go to Phu Quoc Island to serve as a prison director, and prepare for the detention of Chinese who have violated the law and committed crimes.

There are specific people to do the specific work, everything is being carried out in an orderly manner, Li Weimin does not need to worry about this, and he devotes himself to the sacred humanitarian relief work.

On 15 August, the USS Monad, a U.S. Navy Task Force 90, arrived in Haiphong.

As the chairman of the "International Refugee Relief Liaison Conference", Li Weimin decided to personally send the first batch of refugees on the ship and take them all the way to Vung Tau Port.

"Hold on tightly, climb up, don't be in a hurry, be careful to step on the people below."

The sea ferry was troublesome, and the Monrad lowered a large net for the refugees to climb up from the landing ship, and many women and children were so frightened that they did not dare to open their eyes for fear of falling into the sea.

Li Weimin reminded as he entrusted a little girl to the American GIs, sent the children and the elderly to the ship one by one, and then helped to lift the luggage that was not worth much at all.

The U.S. Navy was well prepared, as soon as they got on the ship, they had enough food, enough rice, a canned sardine for each person, and when Private Andrei delivered the food to the refugees, they looked at each other and didn't eat anyone.

"Sir, why don't they eat?"

The food in the refugee camp was not so good, Li Weimin also felt very strange, and asked in a gentle voice for a while, before turning around and saying with a wry smile: "They don't dare to eat, because the Vietminh told them that the Americans would poison the rice and give them rotten food." ”

"It's so hateful, how could we poison it?"

André cursed angrily, picked up a spoon and scooped out a piece of rice from a stainless steel bucket, and ate several bites in front of the refugees, for fear that they would not believe it, and opened his mouth for the refugees to check. Several American soldiers on the sidelines were amused, and opened the canned sardines one after another, pinched them one by one and stuffed them into their mouths.

"It's not poisonous, it's edible, it's delicious." The priest encountered the same problem, and after solving it, he ran here to mobilize.

The refugees' vigilance was dispelled little by little by the enthusiasm of the American GIs, and they relaxed their vigilance and began to take small bites, and gradually some of them had smiles on their faces.

After eating, they became nervous again, because the American soldiers set up a disinfection area at the stern of the ship and asked to spray disinfectant water in order to help them get rid of lice.

A little girl was frightened, pulled Li Weimin's clothes tightly and asked, "Sir, are they going to poison us?" ”

"No, that's disinfection."

Li Weimin took out a piece of candy from her pocket, she hesitated, peeled it off and stuffed it into her mouth, and saw that the person in front of her was not poisoned, so she smiled, and then followed her parents to get rid of lice.

Many people have not bathed for a long time, and the ship has been prepared for a long time, and one person is given a bar of soap and asked them to wash it in batches.

An orphan was frightened by an American soldier who was about to carry him to the bath, threw himself into the priest's arms and asked, "Did I do something wrong?" ”

The priest stroked his head and smiled, "No, my child, he is praying for your blessings." ”

The sailor took his little hand to the bathing place, gave him soap that he couldn't use, and carefully demonstrated how to wash his hands and arms, and taught him how to wash his messy head.

After the baptism, he ran over happily and said, "Father, Mr. Min, I know that the American priest baptized us in the American way and prayed for our blessings. ”

This group of Catholic refugees, all from remote rural areas, had never seen the world, and one by one believed in the truth, and after the news spread, they asked the "American priests" to give them an American-style baptism.

The scene was very touching and they got along very well.

In front of reporters, Li Weimin was happy to help them as interpreters, and sat on the deck and smiled as interpreters: "Major, he said that the Vietminh deceived them and said that the Americans would beat them. Actually, no, he thinks that you are all young and kind priests, baptizes them, blesses them, prepares meals for them, and thinks that the Viet Minh are all liars. ”

The captain of the ship, holding a child, said with emotion: "Mr. President, I am honored to be involved in such a humanitarian operation, their situation is very miserable, and it makes me very uncomfortable to see them like this. I just talked to them, I said mine, they said theirs, and although we didn't understand each other, I felt that we could still communicate with each other.

It's amazing and I was deeply touched by these Vietnamese. I really like them, they are simple and cute, they laugh when I speak, as if they can understand. It's just that they like to eat betel lang too much, as if everyone's teeth are black and look horrible. ”

"They're smart."

Li Weimin turned around and asked the reporter to take a close-up, pointed to the hatch and said with a smile: "Major, I went down to take a look just now and found that the children like the candy in the commissary very much." If you allow, you can prepare a little more for the next trip. ”

"I don't think it's a problem."

When it gets dark, the captain decides to put a movie on deck, and when the characters appear on the screen, the refugees scream in fright, they have never seen it, they think they have seen a ghost, and there is another false alarm.
