"Who did it?"

"The opposition will only pay lip service and will not do such a thing. It is unlikely that the national army will be able to do so, because there is no unusual news at all beforehand. Although the Americans were dissatisfied with Ngo Dinh Diem, they had not yet reached the level of assassination. Buon Ma Thuot is not a warlord base, and it is too unlikely that it is a remnant of a sectarian warlord. ”

Wu Tingyan was almost assassinated, which really frightened Li Weimin.

The industrial village plan has just achieved some success, the Jinou Peninsula needs at least three years of operation, the reserve forces of the industrial villages have just been implemented and have not yet achieved results, the military industry has just begun to develop, and what is needed most now is time.

As soon as he received the news, he immediately rushed from Vung Tau to Saigon.

After confirming that Wu Tingyan was not injured, he rushed to the embankment non-stop and held an emergency meeting with Qian Xinlin, Gu Changgeng, Gui Qingshan, Zhang Yinggui, Han Shuo and others.

Li Weimin groaned: "So you said that the Vietminh did it? ”

Gui Qingshan nodded, and said in an affirmative tone: "The Viet Minh's organization in the south has suffered heavy losses in the past period, and they have a reason to retaliate, and ...... And we have received this information in advance. ”

"Know?"

"Knowing that there was an assassination operation, knowing the approximate time, I thought they would do it on the road, but I didn't expect it to be at the ceremony."

Wu Tingyan can't die now, Zhang Yinggui was anxious, stared at Gui Qingshan and asked: "Old Gui, you know why not to say it, even if you can't say it, you can remind it." ”

"General Zhang, we have our rules, as long as it doesn't involve Mr. Li, as long as it doesn't involve the embankment and the industrial villages, no matter what we know in advance. None of us will act rashly. ”

Gui Qingshan's voice just fell. Han Shuo suddenly said: "The groundbreaking ceremony of the container company attended by Mr. Li." It was held two days later by Lao Gui through the Chamber of Commerce. ”

It turned out that they were prepared, and Li Weimin asked worriedly: "There are not so many coincidences in the world, won't others doubt it?" ”

Gui Qingshan shook his head and smiled: "How can it be suspected of us, the newspaper said that the identity of the assassin could not be ascertained, several corpses were lying there, and they were unrecognizable, how did they get to Bang Mei Shu, how did they get into the ceremony site." It's impossible not to leave a few clues. The inside report of the Ministry of the Interior was found out yesterday afternoon.

The reason why he said that he had not found out and that he was so stirring up the masses was that the day before the accident, Tran Van Du proudly claimed at a press conference that he had 100 percent of the Vietminh elements had been eradicated. Second, Ngo Dinh Kyo wanted to take advantage of the issue and use the assassination of the president to arrest a group of people. ”

With its own rebirth, the history of South Vietnam has changed dramatically.

The economy is several times better than in the original era, and the embankment has become one of the most safe areas. With his own help, intentionally or unintentionally, the purge operation was more ruthless than in history. The scope involved is larger, I thought that this assassination would not happen, but I didn't expect that not only did it still happen, but the time difference was two or three days.

Didn't your butterfly set off a butterfly effect?

Ngo Dinh Diem lived in seclusion, and whoever wanted to assassinate him could only take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or directly launch a coup d'état to attack the presidential palace.

Thinking of this, Li Weimin was relieved.

Gui Qingshan didn't know what he was thinking, and continued: "The entire security work is all in charge of the Ministry of the Interior and the National Army, and the assassins actually mixed in with grenades and submachine guns, and from this attempted assassination, we can see how seriously the Presidential Palace, the Ministry of the Interior, and the National Army were infiltrated. ”

Not only is the Vietminh infiltrated, but the CIA is developing an inside line just like you.

Zhang Yinggui couldn't help but smile and said: "So the reserve officer training team doesn't believe them, it is said that some time ago a special intelligence department was set up. ”

Wu Tingyan can not die in a big disaster, as for whether he has a future blessing, that is a matter for the future.

Li Weimin didn't want to continue this topic, so he picked up his cup and said: "Mr. Gui, the Korean Bureau, the southern development plan will be fully rolled out in a few months, and you must focus on the next six provinces, and you must be ready to fight a tough battle." ”

Ngo Dinh Diem vigorously purged, and the cornered Vietminh elements began to rebound.

By the end of last month, more than 300 village cadres had been assassinated this year, and it is not known how many village chiefs and peasants had been intimidated and threatened.

Although the area of one province cannot be compared with that of one province in China, there are also five or six counties in the lower six provinces, tropical jungles, inconvenient transportation, unfamiliar environment, and language barriers.

Gui Qingshan and Han Shuo glanced at each other, and said helplessly: "Mr. Li, old Qian, we know the importance of the six provinces, but with our strength alone, let alone cure the root cause, I'm afraid we won't even be able to cure the standard." And doing so will expose the people we have so hard to insert into it, which is really worth the loss. ”

"You won't be left alone."

Li Weimin put down the cup and said: "If you want to say urgent, Wu Tinglian is more anxious than us." On the day he returned from the United States, he discussed with me, and then organized some officers from the Fourth Tactical Region, the Reserve Officer Training Team, and the Security Department of the Industrial Investment Company to formulate a set of appeasement plans. It was decided to set up two commands, one for land reform and the establishment of rural grassroots organizations, and the other for purging and preventing the Vietminh.

Cadres should be transferred from the national rural cadre schools and various industrial villages to be specially responsible for rural work; It is necessary to set up a 1,000-member reconnaissance brigade in each province to fight against the Vietminh, and establish a mechanism for linking the army, the police, the reconnaissance brigade, the industrial village security force, and the militia self-defense force. ”

Li Weimin got up and walked to the map, took out a pen and introduced while marking: "Along the Hezhu Highway, it will be handed over to the border guards who are being formed. Four divisions of the Fourth Tactical Region were stationed in the cities and lines of communication, the police were responsible for law and order, and the reconnaissance brigade was sprinkled to collect intelligence and combat small groups of guerrillas. Here, here, here...... There is also a base for helicopters to take off and land. Here, here...... And here, set up a base for inland water commandos, no matter where the fire is exchanged, reinforcements can be received within half an hour. ”

Wu Dinh Lian, the "King of Nanqi," can be called the three fires of the new official, and he actually came up with such a huge defense plan.

If it succeeds, the government's control over the lower six provinces is far beyond that of other provinces.

Zhang Yinggui asked curiously: "What about the security team of the industrial village?" ”

"Counting the second batch of industrial villages that will be opened soon, we have eight industrial villages in the six provinces and a special zone on Phu Quoc Island, and if we count the militia self-defense forces in the villages where the Nong people are resettled, we will have more than 20,000 troops by this time next year. However, with the exception of the Phu Quoc Special Zone Security Force, the security teams of other industrial estates did not participate in the appeasement operation. It is only responsible for the training and export of officers, and at the same time the formation of reserve divisions in various industrial villages.

In view of the complex jungle environment and the fact that the Lower Six Provinces did not face the direct threat of North Vietnam as elsewhere, the Reserve Officers Training Corps had a special operations plan to form a more combat-ready special forces. One squadron in each industrial village and one battalion in the Phu Quoc Special Administrative Region are also focused on training and will not engage in combat unless absolutely necessary. ”

Li Weimin paused and continued: "The government and the French side have reached an agreement on the land issue, and the French government will buy the South Vietnamese land owned by the French landlord within three years. As you know, before the French troops withdrew, I made a secret agreement with them that they would give priority to the lower six provinces.

With this favorable condition, and with the strict supervision of rent and interest reductions in other localities, coupled with the construction of the second batch of infrastructure in industrial villages and the construction of highways and wharves in the south, the peasants in the six lower provinces will basically be able to have land to grow and have something to do as long as they are not lazy. Supplemented by propaganda and persisting in three to five years, we will be able to build this big rear well. ”

"How?" Gu Changgeng couldn't help but ask.

"You come with the content, I'm responsible for the hardware."

Li Weimin said with a smug smile: "The Southern Power Grid is under construction, and by the end of next year at the latest, I can guarantee that more than 80% of the areas will be electrified." At the same time, it has established a cable broadcasting and wireless broadcasting network, set up a Southern Television Station, an Industrial Village Television Station, and a Phu Quoc Special Zone Television Station, and set up several more film projection teams.

As for remote areas where there is really no electricity, we will find ways to mobilize them to migrate. The vacated space can be used as a field or jungle warfare training base for the National Army, the Detective Team and the Industrial Village Security Force, as a shooting range and even as a free-fire zone. ”

Qian Xinlin took over the conversation and said meaningfully: "Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why you have made such a big determination is to build a big rear, and second, to settle more compatriots from Laos, Cambodia and even the Philippines. Because the number of Chinese in each industrial village has reached 40 percent, and the resettlement villages of the Nong people are already saturated, it is necessary to expand the resettlement space as soon as possible. ”

Han Shuo had been staying in Saigon and didn't know much about the situation in the south, so he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, Mr. Qian, how many compatriots are living in South Vietnam now?" ”

This is absolutely top secret.

Qian Xinlin looked at Li Weimin and said with a smile: "As of the beginning of this month, more than 278,600 people have been accepted and resettled. In addition, Indonesian Chinese businessmen who have invested in the construction of factories in various industrial villages have recruited more than 6,300 workers and their families from all over Indonesia. If you include the Kampong Son and Parrot Point areas, there are more than 300,000 new immigrants. ”

"The number of so many Chinese has reached 3 million!"

"It's just a little more, it's more than 25 percent of the population. Next, we must continue to absorb immigrants and increase the fertility rate, and Mr. Li must take the lead in this regard, and he has been married for almost two years, and he can no longer have children. ”

As soon as Qian Xinlin finished speaking, everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Li Weimin nodded and added with a smile: "It is necessary not only to increase the fertility rate, but also to improve the level of medical and health care, to let pregnant women give birth to their babies safely, to let babies grow up healthy and healthy, to make everyone afford to get sick, and to increase the average life expectancy of compatriots." ”

Zhang Yinggui understood that the defense plan of the six lower provinces was to put the Vietnamese in the front. The Chinese compatriots preserved their strength, did not participate in the purge, continued to quietly emigrate, buried themselves in the development of industry, and at the same time developed military strength through the industrial village security team and the resettlement villages of the Nong.
