Rushed to the restaurant, the atmosphere was a little weird.

The guests were silent, all sitting at the table and listening to the North Vietnamese People's Radio with expressionless faces.

The female announcer read an impassioned and sonorous editorial on the radio: "The Central Committee of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam is the only and true representative of the people of South Vietnam, the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam, not the puppet authorities of Saigon, the lackey of US imperialism." ”

"Over the past six years, US imperialism has completely shredded the Geneva Accords, undermined the peaceful reunification of Vietnam, and unjustifiably interfered in the development of South Vietnam. The Saigon authorities have long been the puppets of US imperialism, the instruments of aggression of US imperialism, the pawns of US imperialism against the peoples of Asia and Africa, and the people of South Vietnam. ”

Facts have proven that the only thing that can truly represent the people of South Vietnam is the South Vietnamese National Liberation Front, which was born in the just struggle of the South Vietnamese people against the United States and patriotism. Holding high the great banner of national liberation, the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam unites anti-American patriotic forces of all strata in South Vietnam and leads the 14 million people of South Vietnam in an indomitable struggle for national independence, democracy, peace and national reunification, and against the war of aggression launched by US imperialism......"

Seeing his in-laws and son walking in, Li Guanyun beckoned them to sit down, and pretended to smile lightly: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, I heard it, it has been recognized by so many countries as soon as it was established, and the specifications are quite high." ”

In the words of a North Vietnamese announcer, the South Vietnamese National Liberation Front was the "sole and legitimate representative" of the South Vietnamese people. It has won the support not only of the people of the liberated areas, but also of the people of all strata in the enemy-occupied areas. It has been universally recognized by the peoples of Asia and Africa, as well as by the whole world.

The establishment has just been announced. It is necessary to establish contacts with organizations and governments in 44 countries around the world. Permanent missions are to be established in seven countries, including Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.

Governments of 22 countries, 22 international and regional organizations, and 449 political parties and mass groups in 92 countries are claimed to have sympathized with and supported them.

They claim to unite the patriotic forces of all strata, ethnic groups, political parties, social groups and religious organizations in South Vietnam. It claims that more than 20 political parties, mass and sectarian organizations, including the People's Revolutionary Party of Vietnam, the Democratic Party of South Vietnam, the Chinese Movement of Vietnam, and the Union of National, Democratic and Peace Forces of Vietnam, have joined.

Next, it is necessary to set up committees at all levels and people's self-government committees in the liberated areas of the south to organize and lead the people of South Vietnam in their struggle to resist US aggression and save the country. It is necessary to unify the armed forces of the South to form the "People's Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam."

From any point of view, the newly established National Liberation Front of South Vietnam is not an ordinary political party or an ordinary anti-government force. It is a government with the support of many parties, sects, social and religious groups, and the territory and armed forces.

The liberated area of Zhucheng County, Tay Ninh Province, is the seat of its government, and it will officially play against Saigon from today.

I knew they were going to do something, but I didn't expect them to be so big and formal.

The Department of Industry and Investment only wanted control of the six provinces, and would not openly oppose the government, would not get involved in the Saigon dispute, and did not think about asking for Ngo Dinh Eem's life. They are not the same, they plan to seize power by force, and they also want the heads of the Ngo Dinh Diem family.

Li Weimin smiled knowingly. Leaned into the old man's ear and whispered, "Dad, they are really an annoying and cute "ally". Make such a play at a critical moment. Like a timely rain, it can greatly relieve our stress. ”

As a core member of the "Yuehua Literature and Art Research Association", how could Li Guanyun not know this truth, and after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said: "For the people, we can't take it lightly, let alone gloat." Compared with Diem Diem, they are more threatening, and once they confront each other directly, it will be life and death, and there is no room for reconciliation. ”

Just as the "industrial investment department" did not want the lives of the Wu brothers, the Wu brothers only wanted to take back the industrial investment company, only planned to incorporate the industrial village security team, and only wanted to peacefully settle the armed forces controlled by the Chinese such as the Fifth Infantry Division and the embankment police station.

The National Liberation Front in the South controlled by North Vietnam was different, and in their view, all the reactionary Chinese capitalists headed by Li Weimin had to be liquidated, not only for their lives, but also for money.

However, they think too simply.

Overestimating one's own strength and underestimating the determination of the United States to support the South Vietnamese government, let alone occupying part of the rural areas along the Mekong Delta, even if the central and northern parts of the country are turned into their liberated areas, Uncle Sam will be able to knock them back to their original shape as soon as he strikes.

Li Weimin was very confident in Kennedy, who was about to come to power, and smiled meaningfully: "Dad, at least for us now, Ng Dinh Yan is a bigger threat. ”

"I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on."

"The south is different from the north, the mass base is different, and they are not so easy to succeed."

As he was talking, Sang Pingxiang raised his wrist to look at the time, and smiled at a waiter: "Please turn on the TV, Gongtou Radio 2." ”

"Yes, sir."

The radio was turned on, the Seagull television set produced by Phu Quoc Electronic Industries Company was turned on, the signal tower was nearby, the image was clear, the sound was turned up to the maximum, and the latest news about the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam was playing on the screen.

"There can be no doubt that the Southern National Liberation Front is a political and armed force under the command of the Workers' Party of North Vietnam. According to the logic of North Vietnam, the government was supported by the free world, especially the United States, and the government and President Yan were puppets of the United States. Well, the so-called Southern National Liberation Front is undoubtedly a puppet of North Vietnam and even the entire Soviet Russian camp.

The Prime Minister of North Vietnam, Mr. Pham Van Dong, has stressed on more than one occasion that respecting the will of the people of the South will not and will not and will not change the way of life of the people of the South. More than once, it has been publicly stated that Mr. Li Weimin, chairman of the board of directors, Mr. Chen Shiguo, vice chairman of the board of directors, Mr. Liu Jiachang, former general manager, and Mr. Wu Andong, deputy general manager of our industrial investment company, are outstanding industrialists and have made outstanding contributions to the country's industrial development.

While attending international conferences, he has more than once proposed to meet with Mr. Li Weimin, Mr. Chen Shiguo, and other senior executives of the industrial investment company to hold peaceful talks on the issue of national reunification and national independence. ”

As soon as the moderator changed his words, the background screen immediately switched from the video of the North Vietnamese delegation attending the international conference to the scene of the special police of the special police team of the 5th district police station on the embankment.

"However, the newly announced National Liberation Front of the South, which was led by the Workers' Party of North Vietnam and has been vigorously pursuing its brutal terrorism, attempted to assassinate Mr. Le Wai Min, a patriotic industrialist, philanthropist, musician, member of the first and second National Assembly, and chairman of the board of directors of the Industrial Investment Corporation."

"The assassination list includes Mr. Tran Sai Kwok, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, who is deeply loved and respected by the people and has made outstanding contributions to the country's industrial development, Mr. Lau Ka Cheong, former General Manager of the Industrial Investment Corporation and Minister of Economy of the former government, Mr. Vu An Tong, Chairman of the Management Committee of the Phu Quoc Special Administrative Region, and Mr. Han Shuo and Mr. Zhang Wei, Directors of the 5th and 6th Divisions of the Saigon Police Department, who are impartial and honest."

"Fortunately, with the assistance of the vast number of enthusiastic citizens, the police of the fifth and sixth counties cracked the case in a timely manner, arrested 67 frenzied militants of the Southern National Liberation Front, seized 43 guns of various kinds, 658 rounds of ammunition, three boxes of grenades and other explosives, and the arrested personnel confessed to their crimes......

The rotten deeds done by the "Hua-Yun" were planted on the head of the Southern National Liberation Front.

Coincidentally, the North Vietnamese radio station had just announced that the Vietnamese "Hua-Yun" had joined the National Liberation Front, and that under the leadership of the newly established Central Committee, they had been dumb and could not speak of their suffering.

The assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem, the common people do not care, the reactionaries will applaud.

The assassination of the top brass of the "industrial investment department" is different, because the "industrial investment department" now almost represents the largest number of centrists. Moreover, Li Weimin's character that he has spared no effort to build over the years is not a little bit or two, and the patriotic industrialist, philanthropist and musician deserves his name and has been unanimously recognized at home and abroad.

What's more, as the anchor said, North Vietnam has more than once shouted at Li Weimin, Tran Shiguo, Liu Jiachang and Vu An Dong and other "industrial investment bigwigs", expressed goodwill more than once, and tried to divide the government of Ngo Dinh Diem by means of united front.

You said that the industrial investment was well connected, but secretly planned the assassination, one thing on the surface and one behind the other, and the whole thing was a resounding slap.

The old men are all human spirits, and they applaud one by one after watching the special program.

At the same time, as the news media controlled by the "Department of Industry and Investment" and the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association" reported simultaneously, Saigon exploded, and other domestic and foreign reporters almost blew up the phones of the police stations in districts 5 and 6, until the public relations department of the county 5 police station announced that it would hold a press conference tomorrow morning.

Immediately afterwards, with the encouragement of well-meaning people, university and middle school students from Saigon, Vung Tau, Da Nang, Bo Lieu, Tie Seh, Phu Quoc, Ha Tien, Soc Trang, Can Tho, Long Trat, Kim Ou, and Phu Quoc Island marched on the streets together with the workers and family members of enterprises in various industrial villages, strongly condemning the heinous assassination of the Southern National Liberation Front.

The crowd was excited, and the momentum was huge.

The number of protests was so large and widespread that it almost exceeded the days when the Geneva Accords of 1954 were announced.

Wu Junhui, Zhuang Shiwu and other "Huayun" leaders on the embankment were dumbfounded, and overnight they became street rats that everyone shouted and beaten.

Although this was a good thing for the government, and it could be said that it had won the first battle with the Southern Liberation Front, Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Ngai could not be happy at all, because they clearly understood that Li Weimin was not only doing this against the aggressive North Vietnamese, but also for them.

The "Department of Industry and Investment" did not say anything, but its attitude was very clear.

You have supporters, and I have people who support them, even more than you. Cooperation will benefit both sides, otherwise it will only hurt both sides, and it is the best choice to put aside contradictions and differences and deal with North Vietnam together. (To be continued.) )
