The North Vietnamese elements were pervasive and did everything they could, and the Lower Six Provinces were not a pure land, and the law and order was only relatively good.

Since March last year, the intelligence system of Guiqingshan, the security teams of various industrial villages, and the intelligence department of the former Jinou Peninsula Border Guard Command have submitted a daily report on the security situation.

Li Weimin was too busy to have a particularly bad incident, and Sun Ningyu generally did not report it. So it's always a joke that no news is good news.

Yesterday was clearly not a good day, with bad news one after another.

He had just returned to Phu Quoc Island from Can Tho, and was about to tease his son, when Sun Ningyu walked over from the small building diagonally opposite, standing by the door with a folder in his hand, with a look of wanting to say something.

"Every day, Dad wants to talk to Uncle Sun, and we go to Auntie's house to see my little sister."

Wherever her husband goes, where things follow, Wu Lijun has long been accustomed to it, turned around and smiled, picked up her son and went to Chen Runwei and Ruan Mingxiu's new home next door.

Li Guanyun has officially "taken a back seat" and has never been concerned about the family business, listening to the radio and reading newspapers all day long, studying confidential documents sent by the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association," and has changed from a wealthy man to a "politician" who lives in seclusion behind the scenes.

He has a high level of authority, and there is nothing that he can't say to his face.

Sun Ningyu took the door and solemnly reported: "Mr. Li, chairman, at about 9:30 a.m. yesterday, there was an explosion in the Diju market, and a Southern Liberation element threw two American-style grenades into the densely populated vegetable market, killing two innocent citizens on the spot and injuring more than 30 farmers who went to the city to sell vegetables and citizens who bought vegetables.

The town squad acted quickly, with the cooperation of enthusiastic citizens, to kill the murderer who was fleeing out of the city before the police arrived, and captured two accomplices who tried to assist him in his escape. ”

Di Cuy is a small county located in the southeast of Can Tho. It is about 60 kilometers away from the urban area of Can Tho, and the surrounding countryside does not have the "liberated areas" of the Southern National Liberation Front.

In order to destabilize the six provinces, they actually attacked innocent people, what is the difference between them and terrorists? Li Weimin frowned. Li Guanyun's face was pale, and the two of them were silent, and they could imagine how angry they were.

Sun Ningyu pulled out a document and continued: "After the incident, colleagues from the Audit and Supervision Department of Can Tho Industrial Village in Di Quo quickly intervened and interrogated them together with the detective team and the Di Tho Police Station, and found that the murderer who was killed was a local, who went to North Vietnam with the Viet Minh guerrillas in 1954 and secretly sneaked back to his hometown two months ago.

Colleagues from the Audit and Inspectorate Department noted. Before the Viet Minh guerrillas organized their South Vietnamese youths to go to the north, they arranged for them to marry some local girls, most of whom had already given birth. North Vietnam used this method to expand the kinship network of these South dissolvers in their hometowns. ”

The arrest of people is the business of the police department and the detective team, and it is up to the court to deal with it. As for how to prevent it, I believe that the Fourth Tactical Zone, the "Yuehua Literature and Art Research Association", and the detective team developed with the support of the Industrial Investment Company will be able to come up with a countermeasure, and Li Weimin will not give any opinions on specific problems.

Li Guanyun was a little breathless, took the material and looked at it. "The Vietminh had taken tens of thousands of people to the north, and these people were familiar with the local environment. There is no difference in accent at all, and there are relatives to help cover up, if they all come back, the world will not be in chaos! ”

Sun Ningyu went to the coffee table, turned out another statistical data, and said with concern: "As of last month, the Yugoslav Liberation guerrillas have controlled at least 40 percent of the rural areas of South Vietnam. They resort to terror. Intimidation of local farmers. In their dictionary, there is no word for mercy at all.

In dealing with the so-called 'counter-revolutionaries' and 'traitors', many peasants were forced to flee their homes by often brutally executing them in front of their families, beheading, smashing their heads with hammers and even burying them alive.

The number of refugees in cities such as Saigon, Vung Tau, Da Nang, Hue, Da Lat, Bien Hoa and other cities is increasing. Many people are trying to enter Binh Dong, Vung Tau and Da Nang industrial villages. Refugees from Dong Tha, Long An, Tien Giang and Penn Tre provinces are fleeing to the Lower Six Provinces through various means. ”

His implication was clear that the refugees were different from those who fled to the south in 1954.

They are all southerners, and their living habits, accents, and clothing are no different from those of the peasants in the lower six provinces, and it is obvious that the Southern Liberation Party will not miss this opportunity to infiltrate the areas controlled by the "industrial investment system", and will certainly arrange for thousands of Workers' Party members to blend in with the refugees.

This question was very tricky, and Li Weimin asked expressionlessly: "What is the opinion of Mr. Qian and General Ren?" ”

Mr. Qian believes that refugees should not be allowed to enter the Jinou Peninsula, and even if some refugees are allowed in, they must be strictly controlled, such as being resettled in designated areas, and they are not allowed to leave the resettlement sites. General Yan and Chief of Staff Chen suggested that the experience of the Embankment Police Department should be used to implement a household registration system in the Lower Six Provinces.

Find out who went north when the Geneva Accords came into force, and organize forces to monitor the families who went north. It's best not to come back, and as soon as you come back, control it immediately, regardless of whether or not sabotage activities are carried out, lock it up first. ”

Easier said than done.

If refugees are not allowed to enter the lower six provinces, it means that the Jinou Peninsula has truly become an independent kingdom of the industrial investment system, which is tantamount to giving people a handle. The implementation of a household registration system like that of the embankment police station requires close cooperation between the provincial police, and the police system of the Ministry of the Interior is directly in the hands of Ngo Dinh Daih.

As for the direct arrest of those Yugoslav Liberation elements who have secretly sneaked back, it is simply a violation of the existing law. If you really do that, you will drown in saliva.

Seemingly knowing what the boss was worried about, Sun Ningyu hurriedly said: "Chairman, this response, the research meeting and the fourth tactical area are well thought out. Stability is paramount, and if we want to maintain the situation in the six provinces, we can only make up our minds and withstand the pressure, whether the pressure comes from home or abroad. ”

Li Weimin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This determination is not easy to make, and the risk is too great." ”

"Mr. Qian said in the telegram that our position on the issue of North Vietnam and South Liberation is the same as that of Saigon, as well as with the officials of the six lower provinces and the general public. Mr. Qian believes that we do not need to stand in the forefront, and can push the provinces to formulate corresponding local regulations through the newly established political parties, student groups, and social elites. ”

Li Guanyun's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said: "This is a good idea, everyone has a good life, they don't have a good life as soon as they come, as long as there is a little publicity, most of the people will definitely support it." ”

"Dad, now there is a constitution, and local regulations cannot be unconstitutional."

"Law, apart from the industrial villages, where else do you really believe in the law?"

"For the Yugoslav Liberation Party and some of the opposition, the law is like a urinal, which usually stinks, throws it directly under the bed, and finds it when it wants to be used. Nguyen Huu Tho (leader of the Southern Solution) is a lawyer, and if we do that, he will definitely take advantage of that. ”

Li Weimin sighed lightly and continued: "And they can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, even if we push the provinces to formulate corresponding laws and regulations and strictly organize their implementation, there are still ways to break this situation, such as encouraging refugees to storm checkpoints and checkpoints, thousands of people, will you shoot or not shoot when the time comes?" ”

"What then?"

"I first communicated with the embassies in Washington and the United States, and then asked my colleagues in Saigon to invite foreign media reporters to Diju for interviews, and organized all-round reports on television, radio, and newspapers, so as to fight a battle of public opinion first."

A war of words won't solve the problem, but it can create momentum for the next possible management.

Sun Ningyu nodded slightly, and was about to say something, when Xiao Wang, the confidential secretary in charge of the radio station, broke into the living room in a hurry, and said breathlessly: "Chairman, Mr. Li, something happened!" An hour ago, two 'Air Knights' fighters from the Tan Son Nhat base carried out an air raid on the Merdeka Palace, intending to kill President Diem and his family. ”

"Air strikes?"

"Yes, two warplanes dropped four bombs and fired multiple rockets at the Independence Palace, and then dived to an altitude of 200 meters and fired at the Independence Palace frequently. The air raid lasted more than half an hour before the air defense units reacted and used anti-aircraft guns to shoot down one plane, and the other should have fled to Cambodian territory. ”

Li Weimin subconsciously asked: "What about the president, is the president okay?" ”

Mr. Gui confirmed that President Yan was safe and sound, and that Mrs. Yan was injured in her right arm and was being taken to the Army Hospital for treatment. A total of nine servants and guards were killed and more than 30 were injured in the air strike. ”

Could it be that the brothers of Ngo Dinh Yen are really blessed by God, and they can't die like this.

Li Guanyun directly believed that the incident was related to Ruan Gaoqi, and the relationship between Ruan Gaoqi and his son was well known, and asked in shock: "Do you know who did it, and whether the pilot of the plane that was shot down died?" ”

Xiao Wang glanced down at the telegram and replied: "It has been found out, the rebel pilots are Air Force officers Nguyen Van Ju and Pham Quoc Phu, who were originally going to the Mekong Delta to carry out the mission of bombing the Southern Liberation Army.

Nguyen Van Thu fled in a plane, and Pham Quoc Phu parachuted when the plane was shot and was captured by the Nationalist forces on the ground. According to our insider report, he claimed during the interrogation that he had been abducted and participated in by Nguyen Van Cuy, and that he did not know in advance, let alone premeditate, until he was about to board the plane, that Nguyen Van Ju told him that the national army and the United States believed that Ngo Dinh Diem was only concerned with consolidating his family's power and ignoring the anti-G, and told him that the bombing operation was known to the military and the United States. ”

Li Guanyun asked eagerly: "Is there such a thing as that?" ”

"Probably not, because Mr. Gui didn't hear anything beforehand, and Nguyen Van Tiy's father, Nguyen Van Loh, had been held in a secret prison in Hue for opposing President Diem's arrest last year, and he had a grudge and every incentive to retaliate."

Assassination at the Buon Ma Thuot Agricultural Exhibition, coup d'état by officers of the paratrooper brigade, and now air raids by air force officers, the already unstable Wu family is now even more unstable. It's like a crumbling edifice that falls down when you push it.

Next year, he can hold out until next year at most.

Li Weimin realized that he had to prepare for accepting Diem's "political legacy", and stood up suddenly: "Secretary Sun, call the airport and ask the airline to arrange a plane to take me to Saigon, I am going to visit Mrs. Yao, and I want to appease and appease the children." ”

The father and son discussed the possibility of the assassination of the Wu brothers more than once, and Li Guanyun reacted suddenly, and immediately got up and said, "I'll call Lijun and Tiantian, and let them go with you." (To be continued.) )
