It was about nine o'clock in the evening on October 31. A dance party is being held in the French Governor's Palace in Hanoi, and the hall of the Governor's Palace is full of lights, and the bigwigs who are active in Hanoi's political circles and economic circles are wandering on the dance floor with their female companions.

As Governor of the Viceroyalty of the Federation of French Indochina, Raffarin was not surprising to be the protagonist of such gatherings. After he danced the opening dance, he was surrounded by the big guys. The Japanese occupied the Dutch East Indies and then advanced into the British East Indies, and if nothing else, Malaysia would soon fall into Japanese hands, and what would French Indochina do with itself? Every day there is new gossip coming out, the day before yesterday it was China, Britain and France formed a military alliance, yesterday it was Japan and France reached a consensus, the big people are troubled by a lot of gossip, and they urgently need to get real information to decide whether to stay, or whether to hook up with the Japanese government. They took it for granted that Raffarin must have known the truth of the Word, and they took the opportunity to inquire about it.

Raffarin enjoyed the feeling of being the center of the public, he was very leisurely holding a wine glass in his left hand and a cigar in his right hand, and answered everyone's questions very gentlemanly - "No, rest assured, the Federation of French Indochina will always be the most ideal place to invest, it was, is, and always ......" He was talking, when suddenly, someone on the second floor shouted: "Long live Vietnamese independence!" Everyone was amazed and looked up to see snowflakes of leaflets falling from the sky.

"Guards, guards, get him there!" A Frenchman in charge of security shouted.

At that moment, the dance music began again, but no one was in the mood to continue dancing as the thin figure looked up at the thin figure and continued to throw leaflets down.

"Bang!" The gate opened, and a squad of heavily armed French soldiers burst in, and they rushed towards the staircase.

The waiter dressed as Feng Hai flashed out at this moment, and he walked straight towards Raffarin, and when he was still five meters away, he suddenly drew a pistol from under the tray and shouted: "Long live Vietnamese independence!" He raised his gun and pulled the trigger at Raffarin.

"Horn Horn Horn T Raffarin was shot three times in the chest, and he fell to the ground before he could let out a scream.

Someone saw this scene and immediately shouted: "Protect the Governor!" "Your Excellency the Governor!"

Someone else shouted, "Guards, quick, catch the assassin!" The group of French soldiers turned around and rushed at Feng Hai, who turned his gun and fired at them, shot down a French soldier, and was shot twice, shouting "Long live Vietnam independence" and fell to the ground.

Two minutes later, the soldiers cautiously approached Feng Hai, and an officer bent down to probe his snort, touched his carotid artery, and said, "It's dead." ”

The doctor from the Doge's Mansion hurried to the hall with a nurse, who was much more professional than the officer. He took a flashlight, opened Raffarin's eyelids, looked at it, stood up and shrugged, "Unfortunately, the Governor's heart has stopped beating!" ”

When the governor's wife heard this, she fell into the arms of her female companion with a grief.

A quarter of an hour later, a curfew was imposed in Hanoi, and the French military police and the patrol house were dispatched to hunt down the rebel who had distributed leaflets. Half an hour later, Ompos arrived at the scene with hundreds of soldiers. An hour and a half later, in the drawing room of the Doge's Palace, seven Frenchmen engaged in a heated argument over Raffarin's assassination.

Led by Major General Angbos, the three members of the military were unanimous in their opinion that the root cause of this tragedy was the Japanese. In Dutch Indochina, Japan instigated the locals to form an independence armed force, giving hope to the locals who were fighting for independence in Vietnam. Among them, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Federal Army in Hanoi, Ivan even believed that the local independence forces had already connected with the Japanese, and even that the assassination incident was completely instigated by the Japanese.

Several civil officials, led by the Governor's Office's Treasurer Luo Lan, believed that in view of the fact that the Governor's Office and the Japanese minister had just reached a tacit understanding on Franco-Japanese relations, the Japanese did not need to do anything more, so this was just a very simple assassination incident in which the locals made an independent scene. He believes that what the military should do now is to eliminate the local independent armed groups, instead of taking the opportunity to cause trouble and quarrel with the Japanese.

The positions of the two sides were completely different, and neither could convince the other, and in the end they broke up unhappily.

The next day, the two sides summoned dignitaries of the colonial government to discuss the choice of successor governor at the Governor's Palace. The meeting lasted all morning, and neither side was willing to compromise, so they discussed the final decision by secret ballot in the afternoon. During the non-stop period, riots broke out in the western Vietnamese city of Di Thi, and the local office of the Governor's Office was attacked by independent forces, the head of the military stationed there was killed, and the local garrison fled from Di Thi with more than 30 dead and wounded.

When the news reached Hanoi, the afternoon meeting had just begun, and the participants were in an uproar, and Evan stood up and raised his arms and shouted: "Gentlemen, have you all heard?" Our soldiers are being slaughtered by yellow-skinned monkeys! What are you waiting for? Do you still naively think that the Japanese will open up to us? Or are you already ready to surrender to the Japanese, like that bunch of shit at home? Gentlemen, we don't have time to grind here, we must act now! Otherwise, you and I will die without a place to bury! ”

The audience was silent. A few minutes later, Roland raised his hand under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes and said, "I am in favor of General Angbos taking over the post of governor, but I have one condition, I must participate in negotiations with the Chinese." ”

Roland was the head of the civil service, and his statement broke the deadlock immediately. Aung Bos successfully took over the position of governor, and after taking over the governor's seal, his first order was to open the Sino-Vietnamese border so that the Cadet Army could enter Vietnam.

In the Chongzuo Liuqiao Military Camp, Ouyang Yun, Chu Tiange, Guo Da, Yang Chuntai, Song Yi and others were doing tactical deductions around a sand table, and Pan Meiren suddenly pushed the door and walked in. Standing at the door, she said in a loud voice: "Commander-in-chief, the French Governor-General's Office has called, and the new Governor-General, Major General Angbos, has asked our army to leave for Hanoi immediately. ”

Ouyang Yun dropped his baton and stood up, and said to everyone, "It's finally time to start." Then he said to Song Yi: "Old Song, there is no extra time for you, now you can only do adaptation training while marching." ”

Song Yi said: "No problem, I promise that the brothers will be able to pull it out before the war." ”

Ouyang Yun waved his hand at everyone and said, "Let's all go back and prepare, we will leave in an hour, and we must rush to the border before eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Then he said to Yang Chuntai: "Old Yang, I'll hand it over to you here!" ”

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief, rest assured! We will protect the expeditionary air regiment! ”

"Hmmm! Very good! See you in an hour, brothers! ”
