Chapter 542: This condition cannot be agreed
"Jianming, good news, good news" Jiang Bailixing hurriedly walked into Su Tong's office and said to Su Tong with a smile: "The Vietnamese have agreed to our conditions, and they have agreed to give us the place north of Hanoi." ”
"What? Did the Vietnamese agree to our conditions? Su Tong was a little stunned, he originally thought that he would have to go through a bit of a bargain, but he didn't expect them to agree to our somewhat harsh conditions so simply.
"Yes, Minister Chow Tie Thanh called and Ho Chi Minh agreed to give us the area north of Hanoi as soon as the government was formed, and they also agreed to give us 30 kilometers around Cam Ranh Bay as a naval base." Jiang Baili said with a smile.
"And what about the islands in the South China Sea?" Su Tong followed up and asked, this was the focus of his concern.
"Hehe" Jiang Baili smiled, "I knew you would ask this, don't you care about these coral reefs and uninhabited islands?" They happily threw it at us like garbage, and they agreed to sign an agreement with us as soon as their government was formed. At the same time, however, they put forward several conditions. ”
"As long as they agree, everything is easy to say, conditions and everything." Su Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Ho Chi Minh dared to sign that agreement, with that black and white signature, the tens of thousands of square kilometers of land north of Hanoi and the islands in the South China Sea would be Chinese, and if they dared to regret it in the future, then don't blame the buddies for being polite.
Speaking of this, Jiang Baili hesitated for a moment before saying: "They put forward three conditions: First, they will help them drive away the more than 3,000 French troops entrenched in Saigon. The second is to help them build up no less than ten divisions of the Vietnamese People's Army free of charge and equip them with weapons and ammunition, and the third is to support them with a huge amount of money and material aid, this is the list they have drawn up" After speaking, Jiang Baili took out a list from his arms and handed it to Su Tong.
Su Tong took it and looked almost angry, "Hehe, good guy, ten divisions of no less than 200,000 people of the Huaxia National Defense Force standard equipment and a light weapons production line, one billion gold yuan coupons for the rent of Cam Ranh Bay and 100 million kilograms of grain." What do they think we are? Is it the God of Wealth who descends to earth? With so many supplies, they can open their mouths. ”
After reading it, Su Tong didn't speak, but just put the list on the table, "Gong Ning, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Baili shook his head, "We must not give them so many things, if these things are given to them, the power of the Vietnamese will swell up as quickly as if they were blowing up balloons, which will be very detrimental to our peripheral security." ”
"Hmph" Su Tong sneered: "Ho Chi Minh has a good calculation, first showed us weakness to win sympathy, do you want to bite us back in the future?" ”
As for the virtues of the Vietnamese, the Soviet commander knows too well that when they need you, he can lie down and hug your thighs and shout comrade and brother, but if he finds out that you can't help him, he will turn his face faster and more ruthlessly than the Japanese. In later generations, Su Tong's father participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and later had to leave the army because of a leg injury. In the past, Su Tong often pestered his father to tell the story of his war in Vietnam when he was a child, and those Vietnamese were very ruthless, they put the rice that the Chinese people had to transport to Vietnam into sacks and used it as a machine gun bunker, ate the dry food sent by Huaxia, and turned around to beat the Chinese soldiers with the weapons supported by Huaxia. They also formed a special team to attack the field hospital of the Chinese army, killing the wounded soldiers and nurses in the hospital, the cruelty of the method is outrageous, compared to the Japanese soldiers in World War II.
"No, you must not agree to such conditions, Lao Tzu's rice would rather be fed to dogs than to feed these beasts" Su Tong roared as soon as he slapped the table.
"Jianming, if you don't give it, you won't give it, why are you so excited." Jiang Baili was taken aback by Su Tong's fierce reaction, and blamed him with some complaints.
"I'm sorry, I'm so excited." Su Tong came to his senses at this time, and after calming down his mood, Su Tong thought for a while and said: "I think so, Duke Ning, you see if this will work, we can help them form their own army, but we can only help them form two infantry divisions." And in terms of weapons, we can't give them our standard equipment, don't we still have hundreds of thousands of captured Japanese Type 38 rifles, crooked handles, and Type 92 heavy machine guns in our warehouses? Just transfer them 40,000 rifles and a few hundred crooked handles. As for the issue of funds and food, I will give them 50 million gold yuan and 100,000 tons of grain. If they don't agree to this condition, and if we don't force it, I don't believe that our troops can't occupy those territories. ”
Looking at the murderous Su Tongjiang, Baili on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Su Jianming is becoming more and more aggressive now, shouting and killing at every turn. But Jiang Baili didn't disagree, isn't there a good saying, the truth is only within the range of the cannon, as long as you have the strength, you will be reasonable, if you don't have the strength, it will become unreasonable
A long whistle sounded, and a huge aircraft carrier sailed on the vast sea territory of the South China Sea, which was the latest 'Han Signal' aircraft carrier to be equipped for the South China Sea Fleet, and there were two heavy cruisers and dozens of destroyers around him. There are also four warhawks circling over the ship.
Zheng Xin, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, stood proudly on the bridge and stroked the polished railing, smelling the smell of paint still emanating from the ship. The Pacific Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet are already equipped with two aircraft carriers, and the largest tonnage in the South China Sea Fleet is still the light cruiser of more than 7,000 tons, which makes the officers and men of the South China Sea Fleet a little indignant. Therefore, when Zheng Xin was transferred from the position of battleship captain to the commander of the South China Sea Fleet this time, Zheng Xin's first request was to give the South China Sea Fleet an aircraft carrier. At this time, the South China Sea Fleet, which had changed its guns, was very happy for several days.
As the South China Sea Fleet has grown, so has its patrol range, and now they have reached Malaysia and the Philippines. The day before yesterday, however, they received an order from the Navy Command to send out all of them to escort the newly established Second Marine Brigade to Vietnam to recover Saigon, and to provide air cover for the Second Marine Brigade at will.
Looking at the Vietnamese fishermen rowing small fishing boats nearby and looking at this huge fleet with awe, Zheng Xin's heart felt an indescribable satisfaction. Once upon a time, the fishermen of China also looked at the big warships of the Western powers and the Japanese fleet with such eyes, and now it is the turn of others to look up to our warships.
"Sir, the observation room has come to report that the port of Tien Giang in Vietnam has arrived. Do you immediately inform the brothers of the Marine Brigade to prepare to disembark. Communications Second Lieutenant Zhang Yanbo ran to report.
"Okay, immediately inform the brigade commander Ren to prepare to go ashore."
With the order, the officers and men of the Marine Brigade on the aircraft carrier climbed down the rope ladder one after another, boarded the landing craft and prepared to go ashore, and more than a dozen F6F "Hellcat" fighters and "dreadnought" dive bombers took off on the deck of the aircraft carrier to cover the landing soldiers.
The whole landing process went very smoothly, and after 40 minutes, the first batch of officers and men of the 2nd Marine Brigade came ashore one after another, and did not encounter any resistance on the way, and everything went as smoothly as an exercise.
Just when the officers and men of the 2nd Marine Brigade were advancing towards Saigon one after another after going ashore, in the tallest building in Saigon, Major General Blake, the commander of the Saigon garrison, was also in a state of hesitation, and the news of the fall of Saigon had already reached his ears, and he knew very well that his Saigon City was the next target of the Chinese army. If Saigon were to be occupied by the Chinese Wehrmacht, the entire French colony in Asia would be gone.
Major General Black was joined by several of his battalion commanders and staff officers, who were now discussing the question of the stay of the 3,000 French soldiers stationed in Vietnam and nearly 6,000 French expatriates and their families.
"Gentlemen, we can't hesitate any longer, now that Dien Bien Phu has been occupied by the Chinese, we don't have enough ships to withdraw to the mainland, so we must come up with a way as soon as possible."
"Even if there are ships to send us home, are you so looking forward to entering the German prisoner of war camp?" Someone gave the person in front of him a blank look.
"We can go to the U.S., to Australia or Canada, wherever we go is better than here."
"Do you think that the South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese people is all eating dry rice? Will they make it so easy for us to leave Vietnam? ”
Listening to the arguing of the people around him, Major General Black felt that his head was starting to grow again.
"General, this is an urgent telegram from the outpost battle of Qianjianggang." While the crowd was arguing, a confidential officer walked in briskly and handed a telegram to Major General Black.
There were only a few words on the telegram, and twenty minutes before the Chinese marines had landed at Qianjiang Harbor and were heading for Saigon.
As soon as Major General Black's hand loosened, the telegram fell to the ground like a butterfly. Major General Black only felt a bitterness in his mouth: "Gentlemen, I don't think we have to argue about where to go anymore, the Huaxia people have prepared a new residence for us." ”
