Chapter 528: Ruan Aiguo's Struggle
This air raid caused huge losses to Saigon, more than one-third of the city was completely burned, more than 1,300 people were burned into charcoal rods, including more than 100 French tourists, like a heavy blow to the heart of France, completely crushing the dignity of the Gallic rooster.
Of course, the North Vietnamese did not have the ability to command such an air attack, in fact only the pilots were North Vietnamese, and they were taken to China for training before the operation began, and it was not until a week before the start of the war that these bombers were transferred from the Chinese army to the Vietnamese Air Force, and these bombers took off from the airfields of North Vietnam and headed south along the sea, all the routes provided by China, and finally the bombing operation was carried out successfully.
There is no doubt that China is doing this to exacerbate the contradictions, so that France has no way out, as an old power, France can no longer bear it, they must take decisive action, otherwise how to get mixed up in the world.
Sure enough, as soon as the bombing campaign ended, the situation became known in France, all the media were boiling, and the French people, who had always been lazy, took to the streets to demonstrate, demanding that the French government must take action to teach the Vietnamese monkeys a thorough lesson, and of course there were more radical people who proposed to punish China.
To avenge the death of the French compatriots, but there is still a shred of sanity in the French government, declaring war on China is a very stupid action, which will only annoy the behemoth, and this time the Vietnamese government has declared that the bombing was carried out by them, and Vietnam has also declared war on France.
The entire army of Vietnam has been mobilized, to recover the country, to complete the reunification of the country, France immediately declared war on Vietnam, all the troops stationed in the Far East have been mobilized, France is also forming an expeditionary force, of course, France will not forget to inform Britain and the United States, asking the three countries to jointly come forward, put pressure on China, to avoid China's unlimited involvement in the war.
War between France and Vietnam broke out again. The French, thoroughly enraged, decided to take an offensive posture. Rush straight to North Vietnam, punish those Vietnamese monkeys with guns and let them know that the majesty of France cannot be provoked!
The outbreak of war again in the Far East, all the countries are feeling a little pressure, this is not a good trend, things in the world are not isolated, but closely interconnected. The Italians invaded Abyssinia, the Germans moved into the Rhine, and Vietnam went wrong.
Covering the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, behind the conflict is a contest of great powers, which is only a prelude to a bigger war, and judging from the current international situation. Future wars are bound to spread all over the world, and the scale will be even more staggering.
At this time, France had launched a retaliatory action against Vietnam, but it was a pity that the French army was not equipped with long-range bombers, and it was impossible to reach Hanoi, which was another slap in the face for France, and they could only concentrate more planes to bomb the adjacent areas indiscriminately, whether military facilities or civilian facilities, or even ordinary villages were within the range of attack. All the French want is death. France needs to pour out his wrath.
In addition, the French armoured troops crossed the demarcation line at 17 degrees north latitude and sent a detachment of divisions from the direction of Laos to respond to the attack of the main force. The Vietnamese side is also in a fierce confrontation, with the army and air force coming out together and fighting fiercely with France.
Most of the Vietnamese army was trained by China, and the equipment was all Chinese, and there were constant conflicts over the years, and the combat effectiveness was not weak, which put France in a stalemate at the beginning.
At this time, the 17th parallel of north latitude has become a blood-soaked dividing line, and the terrain of Vietnam is very strange, with a long and narrow strip of strips, coupled with the restrictions of the Truong Son mountain range, so that the main battlefield is only a long and narrow one, and the rest of the vast area is sparsely populated and the roads are difficult, which is not suitable for large-scale operations at all.
The two sides can only rely on flesh and steel to fight, the planes of both sides come and go, constantly fighting in the air, from time to time there are planes with black smoke falling from the sky, for this situation has become commonplace for people on the ground, their whole energy is focused on how to deal with the crazy artillery fire.
This time the Chinese side also invested in it, Qiao Yu knew very well that the world war was not far away, weapons must be updated in advance, old weapons and munitions must be eliminated as soon as possible, the Vietnam War was completely an action to consume arms for China, because of this, China is not stingy at all, all kinds of shells are used casually.
The Vietnamese side was finally able to appreciate the spectacle of the roar of 10,000 cannons, and half of the sky was dyed red by artillery fire, like blood. As an old empire, France also has a very rich heritage, especially in order to deal with the threat of China, the French hoarded a large amount of arms in Vietnam, and took them all out at this time.
On the first day, the two sides consumed more than 200,000 shells, and these shells fell on the front of dozens of kilometers, and the density of fire made people feel as if they had returned to the Western Front of World War I.
Far from making the French side happy, the exchange ratio of one to four was still very frightened, if it continued to fight according to this ratio, even if France won, it would be a miserable victory, at least tens of thousands of French families would be torn apart, and those family members would frantically take to the streets to protest and demonstrate, and when that time came, the surging public opinion could easily drown any commander.
China did not react much to the war between Vietnam and France, but declared strict neutrality as usual, and of course China selectively ignored the arms of the Vietnamese army, and all countries were a little confused about China's calculations.
In fact, China's idea is very simple, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all the elite troops in Vietnam, of course, it is best to be able to consume more French vitality before this, China is ready to accept all Vietnam, and naturally will not allow some things to be in the way.
Therefore, the more people died on the battlefield, the better, the more tragic the battle, the better, of course, China's plans cannot be hidden from everyone, Ruan Aiguo is very sober at this time, the Chinese government is playing a game of chess, he is just a pawn, and will soon become an outcast.
Twenty years ago, Nguyen Aiguo was a hot-blooded man who tried to drive out the French and restore Vietnam's independence, and with the help of China, he successfully took control of North Vietnam, and it stands to reason that his dream has been half realized, but the actual situation Nguyen Aiguo is very clear, he is just in charge of China, and he is completely a puppet.
Moreover, the pace of China's annexation of Vietnam has become faster and faster over the years, and various measures have surpassed that of France, and Chinese businessmen have bought a large number of Vietnamese mining land. The lifeblood of Vietnam's economy is in the hands of China.
Subsequently, Chinese companies recruited workers in Vietnam. These workers were sent to China, while the Chinese continued to emigrate to Vietnam, and within a decade the proportion of Chinese in North Vietnam had exceeded 20 percent, and most of these people were relatively wealthy upper classes.
The trend of immigration is still accelerating, and China has also begun to set up Chinese schools in Vietnam to promote Chinese culture, and Vietnam's economy is backward. A large number of children cannot enroll, and Chinese schools not only do not need money, but also give certain subsidies, so that naturally absorb a large number of students.
These students cultivated in China naturally have their hearts set on China, and they have been going on for many years. There have been strong pro-China forces in Vietnamese society, especially young people, who are proud to speak Chinese and work in Chinese factories, and if this trend continues, Vietnam will become no country and will eventually be completely annexed by China.
Nguyen Patriot is also trying to take some action to stem the trend. It's a pity, though. His power has been severely limited, and most of the people around him have been replaced by the Chinese. Secretaries, doctors, cooks, guards, and so on were all bought by China.
The army and the government have also been severely eroded, just like the bombing of Saigon, Nguyen Aiguo did not know about it, the military launched the operation under the command of Chinese advisers, and only after the operation was successful, Nguyen Aiguo received a report.
He is completely a puppet, not even a puppet, he has no autonomy at all, and he can't even commit suicide, Ruan Aiguo is seriously aging at this time, and his health is getting worse and worse.
However, he has not completely given up the struggle, you must know that he has been a leader for so many years, and there is no outstanding thing is not like a joke, he secretly encircled two young officers, one is called Huang Yuhuan and the other is called Li Falcon.
These two young men are about thirty years old, and their positions are only majors, and they are very inconspicuous ordinary officers, but their positions are very important, Li Falcon is in charge of the security of the presidential palace, and Huang Yuhuan is the quartermaster of the air base, both of them are typical lowly and powerful roles, and it is precisely because of this that Ruan Aiguo took a fancy to these two people.
At about eight o'clock that night, Ruan Aiguo handed Li Falcon to his side under the pretense of playing chess, and the two of them sat down to play chess, and played two games in a row, Ruan Aiguo had nothing abnormal, and the people who were secretly monitoring were relieved, so they simply went to rest, and this was the opportunity that Ruan Aiguo was waiting for, for many years, intelligence officers were monitoring him, and he was also conducting counter-reconnaissance.
"Major Li, what is the current battle situation, I can't get any news!"
Li Falcon's face was very grim, and he lowered his voice and said: "Your Excellency, the war is very fierce, it is said that thousands of soldiers die every day, and several of your old troops, the unit with the highest proportion of party members and students have been sent to the battlefield first, I see that the Chinese are not well-intentioned!" ”
Nguyen Aiguo's fists were already clenched at this time, and he now knew very well that China's move was damaging Vietnam's vitality and consuming Vietnam's human resources.
"Major Li, Vietnam can't be controlled by China like this, I estimate that the Chinese want to completely annex the land of Vietnam, this war with France was actually provoked by them, I am afraid that they want to use the means of war to consume us all, and then steal the whole of Vietnam!"
Li Ying also changed color, his expression was very nervous, and he continued: "President, what do you think we should take instead?" ”
Ruan Aiguo said very firmly: "I am ready to escape, go to Western countries, go to the League of Nations to accuse China, as long as world public opinion is on our side, we can make China a mouse, this is all I can do!" ”
Ruan Aiguo grabbed his hair in pain as he spoke, and his voice choked: "It's all my fault that I am obsessed, and I actually cooperated with China to lure the wolf into the house, I am a sinner of the nation and the country, and a heinous sinner...... "(To be continued. )
