Chapter 174 The best way
Embankment, the fifth county police station, Confucius Street Police Station.≤,
From 3:00 pm to ten minutes ago, more than a dozen guests were welcomed in the conference room.
This small police station with 32 people has only six local policemen in the center of the Chinese district. Two of them went to the branch for meetings, one went to the city to participate in police training organized by the MSO and the Ministry of the Interior. The other three were either on duty or taking turns to rest, so today they were all their own people inside and out.
The core personnel of the "Yuehua Literature and Art Research Association" in Saigon have to hold a meeting, but there are actually safer places, such as Pingtung Industrial Village next to the embankment, or finding a house nearby.
However, the paratroopers officers who are about to launch a coup are very clear that the police stations of the fifth county, sixth county, seventh county and eleventh county were formed on the basis of the former foreigner-managed police brigade. The number of police officers exceeds 3,000, and each branch has a strong combat operation team.
According to the information provided by the inside line, they will block the main roads leading to the city as soon as possible, trying to block the Chinese police on the embankment, and block the Pingdong Industrial Village security team equipped with heavy weapons such as armored vehicles, heavy machine guns and mortars.
Be close to the city, you can better grasp the situation and at least give orders to each branch nearby.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no news on Phu Quoc Island. The Sixth County Police Chief Zhang Wei was anxious and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Qian, Mr. Gui, if you are busy, you will be in chaos. If you don't give orders, it will be too late to mobilize at that time."
The old subordinate couldn't hold back his anger, and Zhang Yinggui said lightly: "How much can ordinary police play a role when mobilizing? Just have an operation team and a security team. Don't worry, wait a little longer."
Responding to the coup is not to crack down on pornography, gambling, drugs, nor to catch "Huayun" elements.
The paratrooper brigade is an elite in the national army. It is well-trained, well-equipped and has strong firepower. Even if it mobilizes all the police who maintain public order and traffic order, it will not be of much use.
The operation teams of police stations in various counties in the Chinese district started training four days ago, with more than 300 people waiting for the battle. In addition, the Pingdong Industrial Village security team, which had already implemented militarized management and militarized training, as well as the special forces stationed in Pingdong. Now they can mobilize more than 1,200 troops and can be deployed to designated locations within one hour.
Of course Zhang Wei knew this, but he didn't know whether the city police and the national army troops stationed around Saigon would turn to young officers such as Ruan Zhengshi during the coup, and whether the higher-influenced national army leaders such as Yang Wenming and Chen Shanqian would participate.
He took a deep breath and unbuttoned the buttons under his neck and said, "General Zhang, you are not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. They have not attacked Hepingdong Industrial Village of Dike and took over the plans of the police stations and the security teams of the Industrial Village of Dike. It does not mean that there is no such thing as soon as possible after dawn. Soldiers are very important. We can mobilize earlier to take the initiative sooner."
Han Shuo was calmer than him and said expressionlessly: "Old Zhang, now issuing an order means standing on the side of Ng Diem. We inform you and urgently mobilize the Industrial Village Reserve Force and reinforce the Presidential Palace. Maybe it can defeat this coup, but what about the future?"
The undercurrents of Saigon are surging, and more and more people are dissatisfied with the Wu brothers.
This time it’s Ruan Zhengshi. Who will be next time?
Now I firmly support Ng Diem. Next time I launch a coup, I will definitely target the "Industrial Investment Department" at the same time. More importantly, in everyone's opinion, the reserves organized by various industrial villages are in name only, and the main military forces of the Industrial Investment Department are the Fifth Infantry Division and the Phu Quoc Special Zone Security Team.
If you act rashly, your strength will only be exposed. Perhaps even Wu Diem, who survived the disaster, will be worried about the Chinese having such strong military power and organizational mobilization capabilities.
What surprised them was that Gu Changgeng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity."
Qian Xinlin was stunned for a moment, and said tacitly, "If it was ten years later, no, even eight years, I could take a try, it would be a pity!"
The number of Chinese people is too small. The reserve teams of various industrial villages have just been in operation for a few years and are not fully prepared. Moreover, the integration is mutual, and it takes time to make the Vietnamese recognize the Vietnamese Chinese. The conditions are not ripe. If you have any ideas now, not only the national army that initiated the coup will oppose it, but even ordinary people will oppose it.
Internal problems cannot be solved. How to deal with the Vietnam League?
How could Zhang Yinggui not hear what they meant, and said deeply: "Yes, let alone eight years, even if we give us another five years, we will not be as passive as we are now."
Qian Xinlin picked up the cup and said slowly: "Faced with this crisis, the best way is to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and wait until the dust is settled before making further plans. If Ng Diem can survive this level, everything will be the same; if Ruan Zhengshi and the others win, they will mobilize immediately and set off their posture to show their strength.
At the same time, we seek support from the United States, push them to the negotiating table, maintain the status quo of various industrial villages and the lower six provinces, and let’s talk about the future. In short, what we need most now is time.”
Xie Rong, deputy captain of Pingdong Industrial Village Security Team, asked reluctantly: "Mr. Qian, since the best way is to pretend to be confused, why... Why..."
"Why bring Chen Shiguo, Wu Andong and Ruan Zhiren in?"
"Yes, why?"
Seeing the teacher looking at him, He Tianming patiently explained: "The external and internal situation is so serious. No matter what we want to achieve, we must unite all forces that can be united. Mr. Guo, Deputy Manager Dong and Manager Ren's attitude is very important. No news until now is good news, which means they are hesitating."
The Vietnamese senior executives of the Industrial Investment Company are hesitating to support Ng Diem, which is indeed good news for the Vietnam-Chinese Literature and Art Research Association.
Everyone reacted, Qian Xinlin took over the conversation and continued, "Everyone, the situation is very serious, but not so severe that it is uncontrollable. In other words, although the Wu brothers are unpopular, they are not exhausted. Those who really oppose him are those old faces with little influence, and the centrists account for the majority. If nothing unexpected happens, Ruan Zhengshi and the others will not be able to do anything."
The Paratrooper Brigade's coup was mainly dissatisfied with Ng Diem's style of governing the country, and opposed his younger brother's decision on the appointment of personnel and troops in the military without discussing with the General Staff.
It sounds high-sounding, but it is actually for the sake of profit.
The National Army was not established for a long time. It took them only a few years to reach a high position that would take more than ten or twenty years under normal circumstances. The brigade commander in his twenties, the division commander in his thirties, with a major and a lieutenant colonel. They all have ambitions to be generals and want to carry a general star on their shoulders.
Ordinary citizens' classes take photos, live their lives, and their lives are much better than before. They have not harmed their vital interests. Who would have been foolish about jumping out and rebelling?
As for the farmers, Diem was not that good to them, but not that bad. Facing the loess and backing the sky, politics was too willing to them and would not jump out to oppose them.
The farmers in the Vietnam Liberated Area are exceptional.
The infiltration of North Vietnamese cadres and the People's Army retaliated bloody revenge, the rural autonomous institutions were disbanded, and rural cadres and landlords were liquidated. At the gun, they could only listen to the Vietnamese alliance. Of course, the government could not watch the Vietnamese alliance occupy the countryside and immediately counterattack and retaliate, organize the national army and police to dissolve the farmers' association formed by the Vietnamese alliance, and bloodily suppress the farmers who had to support the Vietnamese alliance.
They go back and forth, kill a group of people, and the unlucky ones are all the farmers.
As a result, some people who were unwilling to sit and wait for death fled to the city, while some people who were unwilling to escape remained in the countryside. As the Vietnam League's guerrilla warfare became more and more convenient, the morale of the national army became increasingly declining, and gradually lost control over those areas, and eventually became the current "liberated area".
The rural areas near the liberated areas were caught in the middle and feared that they would be liquidated by both sides, so they became "white skin and red hearts". They paid taxes to the government and taxes and grains to the Vietnam League.
Han Shuo seemed to hear something and asked sideways: "Mr. Qian, does Mr. Li have any arrangements?"
Qian Xinlin raised his arm and looked at the time, and said lightly: "Ruan Zhengshi and the others can't do it. This time we support Ng Diem to a limited extent. In another twenty minutes, the report will be ambiguous, so that they will not be caught off guard."
"Then what?"
"Then wait and see what happens."
"What if Diem ordered us to support?"
"Others don't take the Industrial Village Security Team seriously, but he doesn't have much confidence in the Industrial Village Security Team. After all, there are too few people in Pingdong and the reserve personnel lack training and weapons and equipment. Even if they are mobilized, it is useless. He will give priority to mobilizing the surrounding national troops to suppress the rebellion."
...
At the same time, the Phu Quoc Island Command finally ended nearly two hours of discussion, united the minds and reached a final decision.
Li Weimin ordered with a strong command: "Captain Wei, immediately report information about the coup to President Yan, and clearly stated that the reserve officer training team firmly supports the president; Director Ren issued a mobilization order to Vung Tau Industrial Village, leaving a squadron to organize the reserve force, and the other squadrons rushed to Saigon to support..."
"yes!"
Pingdong Industrial Village is not mobilized because it is worried about "shocking the enemy". It is true that the security team of Vung Tung Industrial Village can make a trip when it arrives in Saigon. The embankment police system is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior. At least in name, the Industrial Investment Company "has no right" to order it and is not considered.
In short, solidarity is more than substantial support.
It can not only show its attitude, but also not offend the young and strong factions within the national army too much. As for what to do next, wait until the paratrooper brigade starts its operations and then make further plans.
This is the best way to think of in front of you. Chen Shiguo said solemnly: "Chairman, why don't I go to Saigon overnight to prepare? If President Yiyan can't pass this level, he will also be able to contact the coup officers in time."
God knows whether history will change and should make plans for both. Li Weimin agreed: "There are still oppositions."
Liu Jiachang took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Chairman, I'll go too."
