Chapter 447: Trusteeship of Vietnam
Of course, Tie Dan couldn't find an old man named Ho Chi Minh, because Ho Chi Minh was still called Hu Quang at this time, and Hu Guang had not yet used the alias Ho Chi Minh.
Originally, the name Ho Chi Minh would not be used until 41 years later, when the Japanese occupied Vietnam. But now, Comrade Hu Guang didn't have time to use this famous name that would become famous overseas in the future, and he was taken to Hainan Island by Li Tie's big butler Tie Dan.
From then on, he could only live a leisurely life like a Tian Jia Weng, and could no longer lead the Vietnamese independence movement, but if it was time for him to make an occasional appearance, Li Tie would definitely let Comrade Hu Quang appear in the right place with the right reason.
In fact, it can't be blamed that Li Tie doesn't remember all the previous names of Ho Chi Minh, after all, Vietnam is only a small country, and Li Tie's energy in the previous life was all focused on China and Japan, so where can he remember that Ho Chi Minh was called Hu Guang at this time?
But whether it is Hu Quang or Ho Chi Minh, anyway, it is enough to catch the wrong person. And at this time, Ho Chi Minh was on Li Tie's blacklist.
Many Viet Minh leaders were targeted by Li Tie, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Li Tie would not get rid of these eyes of him at once.
However, the disappearance of Ho Chi Minh alone has already caused confusion in the Viet Minh, and the pro-Chinese and pro-Japanese factions of the Vietminh have already looked at each other at the wrong eye, and now as soon as Ho Chi Minh disappeared, the pro-China Vietminh members immediately put the reputation of assassinating Ho Chi Minh on the heads of the pro-Japanese faction.
Members of the pro-China Viet Minh have besieged the members of the pro-Japanese faction on several occasions, searched the secret strongholds of the pro-Japanese faction, and demanded that they hand over Comrade Ho Chi Minh, the supreme leader of the Viet Minh.
As the leader of the Vietnamese resistance organization, the civil strife of the Vietminh naturally caused chaos among all the resistance organizations in Vietnam.
Soon the fighting between the resistance groups throughout Vietnam became more and more intense, and the whole war began to spread to all classes in Vietnam.
In order to gain more firepower, many Viet Minh organizations not only turned to China and Japan for help, but many Viet Minh members even began to attack the barracks and outposts of the French occupation forces in order to seek arms.
As a result, the French, who thought they could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, were also swept out. Since Li Tie and Japan provided a considerable amount of weapons to the Vietminh organization behind their backs, the result was a three-way melee between the Viet Minh and the French army.
Today you burned my village, tomorrow I will attack your county seat, and the day after tomorrow we will fight another ambush. No one would have thought that on the battlefield in China, when the war between China and Japan was calming down, Vietnam, which was a good neighbor and friendly with China, would have become a mess of porridge.
The most incredible thing is that the French legion, which should have been very strong, was defeated by the Viet Minh organization, and even the Vietminh themselves could not believe that they could finally defeat the French.
Tens of thousands of French soldiers were trapped in several large cities, afraid to leave the city. The Vietnamese Resistance Alliance actually gained control of more than 90 percent of Vietnam's land, but their occupation was not accomplished by a single party in Vietnam, but by hundreds of resistance forces in Vietnam, in a form very similar to the warlord melee in the early days of the Republic of China.
Although Vietnam does not yet have a unified party, this does not delay the Vietnamese people's future direction after the Viet Minh coordinated a congress to discuss the future direction of the Vietnamese people after the great victory.
And the first major event after the coordination of the Vietminh was to prepare to return the whole territory of Vietnam to the hands of the Vietnamese, and at the same time they wanted to create a state composed of pure Asians.
So a vigorous operation to purge Vietnamese whites was launched in Vietnam, which is the so-called no death if you don't die. The French were now in a confrontation with the Germans, and they did not have the time or energy to care about what was happening in Vietnam.
The French were furious when a large number of expatriates and soldiers were brutally murdered by the Vietnamese, but they really could not spare their forces to deal with the resistance in Vietnam.
Just when the French were at a loss, an envoy from Li Tie came to Paris, and this envoy spoke fluent French and lobbied among the French parliamentarians.
Because of the emissary's superior eloquence and strong financial skills, the French government soon passed a bill to hire the Hainan Third Army of the Huaxing Company on the Sino-Vietnamese border to suppress the rebellion.
As a mercenary fee for the counterinsurgency operation, the French did not have to pay a penny in cash at all, and all expenses would be deducted from Vietnam's future taxes year by year.
At the same time, all the taxes of Vietnam in the future will be handed over to Huaxing Company in two, as the military expenses of the Third Army of Hainan to defend the entire territory of Vietnam. In other words, after the suppression of the rebellion, the Third Army of Hainan will fully take over Vietnam's defense work.
The French made a calculation and entrusted the security of Vietnam to Huaxing, although they would lose 20% of Vietnam's tax revenue every year.
But in fact, it was much cheaper than sending troops to Vietnam themselves. Now that the war in Europe has broken out, more than 10,000 French troops stationed in Vietnam can be withdrawn to the country, and as for the defense of Vietnam, it has been handed over to Huaxing Company, and they French only need to symbolically leave a few hundred soldiers to garrison.
Within a month of the signing of the agreement, the Hainan Third Army, with a total of 50,000 regular troops, swept away all the resistance groups in Vietnam.
Even the Vietminh collapsed under the encirclement and suppression of the Third Army in Hainan. No one would have thought that the Third Army in Hainan would suffer so much, and what was even more harmful was that all the resistance organizations in Vietnam had hardly escaped the net.
Because no matter where these resistance groups hid, they would be attacked by the Hainan Third Army. It turned out that at this time, the Peace Hotel, which had always appeared in front of the world with a kind face, finally revealed his true face.
Because the Peace Hotel is located in almost every large and medium-sized city in Vietnam, and the Peace Hotel, which has been painstakingly operated for many years, has long been integrated with the local Chinese and resistance organizations, almost all the nests of the resistance organizations are under the supervision of the Peace Hotel.
Therefore, as soon as France signed the agreement, almost all the resistance groups in Vietnam were immediately surrounded and suppressed by the Third Army in Hainan.
Although everyone was surprised by the miraculous performance of the Hainan Third Army, everyone around Li Tie knew what was going on.
In particular, the high-level leaders of the Axe Gang led by Wang Yaqiao were even more surprised, because as early as many years ago, Li Tie had already begun to lay out in Southeast Asia.
On the one hand, the Peace Hotel was mainly used to make money in the Ming Division, and on the other hand, a large number of people bought members of the so-called resistance organizations.
And now Li Tie is only thirty years old, which means that Li Tie, who was just in his early twenties, was already planning ten years later.
Thinking of Li Tie at every turn, he said what would happen in a few decades, everyone used to think that Li Tie was just to encourage everyone, so he exaggerated himself, but now he knows that everything Li Tie said is happening.
Looking at Li Tie with a calm face, Wang Yaqiao swallowed and foamed unconsciously: "Does the ancients mean people like Li Tie when they say that they are wise and almost demons?" ”
Thus, in March of '40, the French withdrew almost all of their troops in Vietnam as the Hainan Third Army quickly quelled the rebellion throughout Vietnam.
At the same time, with the great help of the Peace Hotel, everything in major cities in Vietnam has resumed normal operation. It's just that all Vietnamese government workers today don't know a secret, that is, the real managers in Vietnam are already Chinese.
While Vietnam's crackdown on bandits was in full swing, a special conversation was taking place in a prison for political prisoners in Jakarta, Indonesia.
"Mr. Sukarno, is the young man who left just now your son? He's so handsome. A Dutch prison guard asked curiously.
"No, he is my follower, we have come together because we have a common great goal, we are all working for the freedom of our Indonesian people. I believe that one day we will overthrow your Dutch rule. The middle-aged Sukarno said flatly.
"Alright, Mr. Sukarno, if it weren't for the fact that someone paid us to treat you preferentially, we would have abused you to death, and where could we listen to what liberalism you preach in prison every day." In the eyes of these Dutch prison guards, Soekarno was a chicken that laid golden eggs.
"I've always wanted to ask, who is saving my life? I know that we in the Freedom League are poor. Based on the treatment I've received here, I'm sure he must have spent a lot of money, right? "Sukarno has been imprisoned in Jakarta Political Prison for three years.
Sukarno, who had just been sent to prison, thought he would die at any moment, but the truth was that since his first day in the prison, he had lived in a separate room with a bathroom.
Not only was there no one to abuse him, but he was taken care of a lot, and he knew almost everything outside except that he couldn't get out of the cell.
Although he ate three meals a day like the other prisoners, he was given a piece of fruit every night. It's been three years without a break.
But those days were about to pass, and just now his follower Suharto had brought a secret message that tonight, the people of their Freedom Alliance would organize an armed rescue.
And according to the message brought by Suharto, the person responsible for rescuing him this time was a group of powerful pirates who had been in Indonesian waters for many years.
Suharto had promised the bandits that as long as the rescue was successful, they would be given an independent division of the Indonesian Free Alliance.
Just now, after Sukarno and Suharto exchanged words in code, he happily sent Suharto out of the meeting room, and the Dutch guard, who had been guarding him for a long time, watched all this curiously.
When the Dutch guard noticed that Suharto was young and handsome, he thought that Suharto was Sukarno's son. This was his curious conversation with Sukarno, because Sukarno was an old-fashioned person, so the two exchanged a few words without any taste, and the Dutch guards sent Sukarno back to the cell and left.
And Sukarno looked at the back of the guard's departure, and his heart was on fire: "After tonight, you invaders will wait for my thunderous revenge." ”
