Chapter 396: The Coup d'état in Annam
The Geneva Conference finally came to an end at the end of July, and the result was not much different from the original history, North and South Vietnam were still divided by the 17th parallel of north latitude, of course, this was only a rough demarcation, in fact, it was divided by a river, and at the same time, it was stipulated that the two countries would hold general elections in five or six years to reconstitute the same country, which of course was also impossible.
Laos and the Khmer also gained real status, that is, they were no longer members of the French Confederation.
The Gallic army will be withdrawn from Indochina in batches, as will all foreign troops in the three Indochinese countries, including the American troops who had previously landed in Saigon to protect overseas Chinese. However, in order to assist the South Vietnamese in evacuating the people in the north who did not want to accept North Vietnamese rule, the USS Essex aircraft carrier group and a large number of American transport ships remained in South Vietnam, and together with some Gallic warships, evacuated the people, the Gallic garrison, and foreign nationals from Haiphong Port. Of course, a large number of warships of the Kunlun aircraft carrier formation also joined this operation, after all, there are still many Chinese in the north, and these people cannot stay to let Ruan Aiguo be in trouble.
But the Ming army stationed in Vientiane refused to evacuate.
Because they were stationed there to help Laos resist the invasion of foreign forces under the framework of the Holy Alliance in Southeast Asia, they were invited by the Lao government to help Lao resist the invasion of foreign forces.
In fact, according to Liang Cheng, the foreign minister of the Ming Empire who attended the meeting, although he also signed the agreement, it was only out of the expectation of peace in Indochina, and in fact, in his opinion, the peace agreement was meaningless.
"Because it is impossible for North Vietnam to abide by this agreement, I can tell you unequivocally that this agreement will not bring peace to that land. Maybe a year. Maybe two years. It is estimated that it will not take more than five years at most, and a new, larger-scale war will sweep across that land, and it will be more brutal and bloody, and millions of people will pay with their lives for the weakness of the free world. ”
This is how Your Excellency the Foreign Minister commented on the agreement.
Of course, in the words of the New York Times, the foreigner was completely nervous, or like their Führer. Ideas cannot keep up with the pace of the times, and they do not know what a wonderful new life this war-torn country will be after the glory of freedom and democracy shines on the land of Annam.
"We will see a truly free and prosperous Annan, where there will be no more wars, no more poverty, no more turmoil, because peace has truly come to Annan."
This editorial in the New York Times turned out to be a very classic joke.
In fact, less than twenty-four hours after the publication of this editorial, they were slapped in the face.
Coup d'état in Annam.
"Baoda!"
Saigon, inside the palace of Annam. Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Thieu picked up a pistol and grabbed one of the attendants by the collar and shouted.
The coup was actually quite simple. Just like Yang Feng overthrew the Mossadegh regime with dragon dollar bills, the people of the United States were nothing more than scattering 10 million US dollars, and Wu Tingyan, who was already the prime minister and had the support of the Catholic Church because of his status as a Catholic leader, just gathered several major generals in the army, and then the CIA agents with him put a few boxes of US dollars on the table, and those generals stood under his banner without hesitation.
What kind of country and nation are all to deceive the ordinary people below, let them rush to the front as cannon fodder, for those high-level generals, the dollar bill is the most important.
What's more, Bao Da is not a holy lord Mingjun, he is just a puppet raised by the Gauls, the real supporters are only those Chinese capitalists, although Wu Tingyan is not very popular, but it will not be more annoying than Bao Da, both of them are the same in power, the only possible trouble in this coup is Yang Feng's reaction, but the five aircraft carriers of the United States gathered in the Beibu Gulf, and Yang Feng could not start a war for Baoda and the United States.
In that case......
Dry, why not!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has just left."
The squire pointed in one direction and said tremblingly, it was clear that the king of Baoda was not very good.
"Damn it, chase it!"
Nguyen Van Thieu kicked him aside hatefully, waved his pistol and said, and then led his soldiers to rush in the direction pointed by the attendant with rifles.
At this time, Ruan Phuc Hui was under the protection of more than a dozen guards to get into the car that Yang Feng gave him, these guards were actually Jinyi Wei agents, he was not a fool, Wu Tingyan wanted to do He already knew that the Annan people were not reliable to him, on the contrary, only Yang Feng's people were the most reliable, so he had already asked Yang Feng for a batch of Jinyi guards to protect himself.
Before the coup army arrived at the palace, the Jinyi guard, who had already placed the listening equipment at Ngo Dinh Yan, got the information of their move, and then notified the palace, but Bao Da had no ability to do anything, Ngo Dinh Diem had already bribed the main generals of the Saigon garrison, and it was impossible for him to fight against the guards in the palace, in fact, his guards did not have the courage to fight, in this case, then run quickly!
"Quick, they're chasing it out!"
A Jinyi Wei agent sat in the car and shouted to the driver at the same time, a large number of soldiers led by Nguyen Van Thieu in the distance had appeared, and even raised their rifles in their hands, and at the moment when the extended El Dorado was activated, several bullets hit the car window, and the bulletproof glass immediately appeared cracked fine lines. But at the same time, on the warrior car responsible for protection behind, the grenade gun in the hand of the Jinyi guard opened fire, and a 40 grenade exploded among the nearest soldiers, and just as they were hurriedly dodging, three armored cars roared and rushed out.
Immediately after that, a blocking Willis jeep appeared on the opposite side, and the leading warrior did not pause at all, and under the bullets of the submachine gun on the opposite side, he knocked the jeep away and rushed straight to the gate, and a group of soldiers who were pouring in from the gate screamed and quickly dispersed to both sides, and at the same time raised the weapons in their hands.
But on the left and right windows of the front warriors, two submachine guns with drums appeared on each side, and the blazing bullets splashed wildly on both sides, and the sunroof of the last warrior suddenly opened, and a brocade guard stood out of the car carrying a small rectangular box, and the two lids on the front and back of the box had been opened, revealing four circular launch ports, and before the South Vietnamese soldiers who were suppressed by the submachine guns could react, four rockets flew out of it one after another, and two on the left and right sides hit them in the middle.
It was filled with incendiary bombs, and at the moment of the explosion, countless sparks mixed with white phosphorus and thermite were sprayed in all directions, and almost a platoon of South Vietnamese soldiers immediately fell into mourning, and in their screams of terror, three cars rushed out of their middle fiercely.
"Quick, report to the Prime Minister, Bao Da ran away, it is estimated that he is looking for the warship of the Ming Army!"
Nguyen Van Thieu then said to one of his subordinates, and at the same time jumped into a jeep and chased after his subordinates.
He guessed correctly, after the convoy of Baoda left the palace, it sailed directly east to the Saigon River, and at the same time, the frigate of the Ming Army, which had just arrived under the banner of transporting refugees, was docking at the dock, and next to it, a Chinese merchant cargo ship hurriedly gave it a berth, and just when the frigate came to a stop, the convoy of Baoda also arrived.
The two places are only a kilometre apart.
But before Bao Da got out of the car, the pursuers led by Nguyen Van Thieu also appeared not far away, this guy did not pursue further, but directly stopped and set up a machine gun, it was obvious that if Bao Da got out of the car, they would immediately open fire and beat His Majesty the King into a sieve.
The captain of the Hanqi smiled with a teacup, and then gestured to an officer next to him, who quickly moved the handle next to the screen in front of him, and pointed the cursor above at Nguyen Van Thieu and the others. At the same time, the muzzle of a close defense gun in the right rear of the battleship was pressed down, and as the officer pressed the fire button, flames suddenly erupted, and less than a hundred meters in front of Nguyen Van Thieu, a terrifying barrage was released, and dozens of 30-millimeter shells exploded intensively in less than half a second.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
After the explosion, Ruan Van Thieu's legs and stomach trembled, and he looked at the dense craters in front of him and said in a trembling voice.
His men scattered in an instant.
The captain of the Hanzhu looked at their backs contemptuously, calmly ordered the bridge to be lowered, then straightened out his uniforms, put on a solemn expression, and led his subordinate officers to welcome His Majesty King Annan.
Not far from them, on a Keeling-class destroyer, the captain watched the scene with a blank face.
"Your Excellency Ambassador, we must not let Baoda leave Annam, you must know that Yang Feng is most accustomed to playing his kingdom game, as long as Baoda falls into his hands, we will definitely see a kingdom of Annam appear on his territory, and then he will use this kingdom to continue to do whatever he wants, just like the king of Goryeo did in Jeju Island."
Ten minutes later, Wu Tingyan appeared in the consulate of the United States and said to the consul general of the United States in Saigon that the two countries had not yet had time to establish diplomatic relations at this time, after all, this was the territory of the Gauls before.
The consul general of the United States frowned and did not answer him.
It's a very difficult thing to do.
Originally, in history, Wu Tingyan overthrew Nguyen Phuc Yen by referendum, but now because of the economic collapse caused by the retreat of Chinese businessmen, his support rate among the people is not high, and even there are many opponents, so there is basically no hope for the referendum, including the people of the United States also understand, so they can't wait to launch a coup d'état, but it is also different from the original history of the people of the United States who raised Bao Da to scare him, and now Bao Da is Yang Feng's pawn, so he must be eliminated.
But the problem is that he is already on the Ming warship, so this problem is difficult to handle, and he can't go to the Ming warship to grab people, right?
"Find an excuse to block the waterway, stop the ship first and then find a way, it really can't find someone to blow up the ship, and the outside world says that the North Vietnamese agents did it."
Wu Tingyan said viciously.
The consul's eyes lit up and he nodded appreciatively. (To be continued.) )
