The paratrooper brigade and land war battalion "occupied" the General Staff Department, and the same was true when occupying the State Radio Station. Only when attacking the Presidential Palace, the police headquarters and several police stations did fierce firefights occur, which shows that most officers are sympathetic and even condonized about the coup.

Army Chief of Staff Li Wenji did not issue an attack order when the vanguard of the 7th Division arrived, but went to negotiate alone. Ruan Zhengshi was not a fool, how could he not know that this was someone giving him a chance to escape?

The truck rushed to the entrance of a airport in Johor Bahru. Seeing that the pursuers were not catching up, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "General, I'm sorry, I'll be wronged."

The sent here is full of righteousness. The Air Force is not an army. Li Wen can't command it, and now he can't command it.

God knows whether they can grab a plane and escape smoothly. If they can't escape, who knows what they will give, and say more or more mistakes, Li Wenji simply doesn't say a word and continues to be his "hostage" with a strong face.

Ruan Zhengshi ran away from her desperate situation, and she didn't have that much time. After apologizing, she pushed open the car door and pushed Li Wenji, who was tied up behind her back, into the grass on the side of the road.

The truck in front suddenly accelerated and knocked open the iron door with a "clang". The soldiers on the post were shocked, not knowing whether to shoot at them. The moment the guard was lost, the two cars rushed into the airport and rushed to the air force apron on the southeast side.

Ruan Gaoqi returned from the US Air Force Command Academy last year and was promoted from lieutenant to major, and served as captain of the Air Transport Brigade.

He has just been promoted and has a close relationship with Li Weimin, chairman of Industrial Investment Company.

Ruan Zhengshi was worried that it was unreliable and did not notify him before the coup.

There were many airport planes, including old-fashioned passenger planes from American Airlines, Vietnam Airlines and Singapore Airlines, and Boeing 77 jet planes from Phu Quoc Island Airlines. There was a coup in the city and the captain and crew were all withdrawn. I don’t know if there is fuel in the plane, and no one can fly it even if there is fuel.

At this point, Ruan Zhengshi can only ask Ruan Gaoqi for help.

The truck was braked suddenly at the entrance of the brigade department, and he jumped out of the car and shouted anxiously: "Gao Qi. Gao Qi, we have failed! We must escape quickly, otherwise Diem will ask for our heads."

Whatever you are afraid of is what you come.

Ruan Gaoqi, who has been watching the situation since he was woken up by his subordinates at 3 a.m., suddenly became enraged. He ran out of the office and looked at the entrance. After confirming that there were no pursuers, he asked angrily: "Where can't be gone? I have to come to the airport? Do you want me to abandon my wife and children and send you away, or give you a plane and ask Diem to ask me to have my head?"

"Gao Qi. Now you are the only one who can help us. Soon, there is no time!"

Although the Paratrooper Brigade is affiliated with the General Staff, it often needs to train in coordination with the Air Transport Brigade and has a very good relationship with the Air Force. It looks up but doesn't look down and often eats and drinks together.

They are all old friends, and they have too much sympathy for their coup. Ruan Gaoqi really doesn't want them to fall into the hands of Ng Diem. While taking them to the apron, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't fly the plane to see you off. If I do that, I will never come back, Zhao Hong is in front of me. As long as he wants, I can give you a plane."

The reason why I came here was that a distant relative of Ruan Zhaohong was a pilot under him. But if the plane wanted to take off smoothly, it had to pass his level first.

Ruan Gaoqi was willing to provide help, and Ruan Zhengshi finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and said, "Thank you."

"No need to thank you. After leaving, you are more polite and don't betray me."

"Don't worry. We won't betray our friends."

In order to allow my friends to pass the Ng Diem brothers' level, everyone found a rope before boarding the plane and tied Ruan Gaoqi tightly.

The c-47 transport plane slid toward the runway, and the 21st Division and the "Special Forces" pursuers who were loyal to Wu Ting-ying arrived. However, they were still nearly a kilometer away from the runway, and could only watch the transport plane roaring towards the blue sky and gradually disappeared from sight.

A military-civilian airport in Johor Bahru is a dual-purpose military-civilian airport. In addition to the C-47 Air Transport Brigade, there is also a ff Panda combat squadron. A major battalion commander of the 21st Division ordered the fighter squadron to take off and intercept immediately.

The one who flew by plane was an old friend.

The Air Force is the "proud son of heaven", with the fastest promotion and the highest treatment. He looked down on the Army and was dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Ng Diem brothers. How could he fly a plane to take off and intercept his comrades and old friends?

The squadron leader refused to execute the order on the grounds that he only accepted the orders of the superiors. After finally waiting for the order, the radar showed that the transport plane that the coup officer was riding in had entered Cambodian airspace.

The 21st Division and the special forces officers who were loyal to the Ng Diem brothers were furious and thought that the Air Force had deliberately let go. The Air Force not only had pilots and crew members, but also ground guards. The two sides had a dispute and the airport was in chaos.

It was not until the tower commander and the officers of the U.S. Military Advisory Corps who rushed to the scene told the U.S. ambassador's plane to land immediately that they gave up the runway and waited for the orders of the Independence Palace, the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff.

Ambassador De Bro sincerely asked Li Weimin to come to Saigon to persuade Ng Diem. Such a coup happened, and the attitude of the national army in the coup was so ambiguous. Ng Diem even asked him to return to Saigon and help stabilize the hearts of the people and the morale of the army.

What's more, as a member of Congress, you cannot always absent from Congress meetings.

Li Weimin arrived on the same plane and got off the plane and asked the major officers of the 21st Division about the situation.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

In front of the famous Mr. Min, the major did not dare to take a stand, and saluted the report: "Ruan Zhengshi, Wang Wendong and twelve other rebel officers hijacked a transportation area and fled to Cambodia an hour ago. If nothing unexpected happened, the plane should have landed at Phnom Penh Airport. We suspect that Captain Ruan Gaoqi of the Air Transport Brigade provided help for their escape."

Just knowing that the boy might be caught in, Li Weimin asked calmly: "Where is Ruan Gaoqi?"

"Has been detained by the Special Forces."

The US military advisory group sent out people to further their studies. The United States will not allow Ng Diem to take ruthless measures. Li Weimin said expressionlessly: "I understand Major Ruan Gaoqi. He will not help the rebels. I will take him to the Independence Palace."

He did not say let go, but took the person to the Palace of Independence.

No one could refuse this request, and the major and the special forces officer could only ask someone to take Ruan Gaoqi to Pingdong Industrial Village to pick up his car.

I only realize I am afraid after doing many things.

When he was interrogated by the special forces, Ruan Gaoqi realized that things were not as simple as he thought. As long as Wu Diem wanted to pursue it, it would be no difference whether there was any evidence or not.

He placed all his hope on Li Weimin, but he didn't expect Li Weimin to come so quickly. He didn't expect Li Weimin to directly ask for people from Wu Ting-jeong's special forces.

Acheng is an acquaintance, and the chairman's secretary Sang Pingxiang is an acquaintance. One drives the car himself and the other sits in the passenger seat. There is no outsider in the car. Ruan Gaoqi asked nervously: "Mr. Min, it's not good to do this. What if you implicate it?"

I'm a little conscientious, at least I know that I can't implicate people.

Li Weimin asked with a smile: "See it. Have you really helped them?"

If he can't trust, then there is no one in this world who can trust. Ruan Gaoqi gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "I gave them a plane. There are a few people in the brigade who know, but they shouldn't betray me."

"It shouldn't be, it's light."

"What should I do?"

"What are their names? Report them to Pingxiang."

Ruan Gaoqi was stunned for a moment, and said silly: "Mr. Min, they...they...they are innocent. They didn't participate and knew nothing. They only saw me sending Ruan Zhengshi and Wang Wendong to the apron."

"Major Qi, have you watched too many conspiracy movies? Do you think I will kill someone to silence me?"

Li Weimin glared at him, patted the passenger seat, and said as if nothing had happened: "Pingxiang, remember your name, and then arrange for someone to unify the caliber with them. Then ask General Lionel for help, and ask the US military adviser to pay attention to it. Ensure their safety when they are investigated."

"yes."

Ruan Gaoqi was very embarrassed and hurriedly reported the names of the insiders.

This kind of thing cannot be delayed for a minute. Sang Pingxiang got the list and got off the bus halfway through the same caliber. Li Weimin asked for a box of cigarettes. He lit it and asked, "Gao Qi, what do you think about this matter?"

The quarrel between Li Weimin and Wu Ting-hwan is an open secret in Saigon. He was not the only one who once supported the Wu brothers and was dissatisfied or even opposed to him, but his status was different and his influence was relatively large.

Ruan Gaoqi had nothing to hide, and held the car window and smiled bitterly: "It's already been done to build a coalition government. I can't even see the delaying plan. They shouldn't believe in Diem, they should take down the Independence Palace in one go."

"So you sympathize with them?"

"You don't have any sympathy?"

Li Weimin shook his head and said, "I don't have any sympathy."

Ruan Gaoqi asked with confusion: "Why?"

"Because they only know the coup, but they don't know what to do after the coup. It's simple to say, but not so easy to do. Fortunately, it failed. If the coup was successful, Saigon would be in chaos and Hanoi would applaud."

Ruan Zhengshi, Wang Wendong and others had almost no influence. Not to mention leading this country, maybe even the national army could not be suppressed.

Ruan Gaoqi reacted, leaned halfway in the seat and smoked, and stopped talking.

Li Weimin patted his arm and said slowly: "When I see Wu Ting-jeong or Chen Jinxuan, don't be nervous, so I will explain to them the lies I made up just now. The attitude should be sincere and the review should be profound. Too much words will lead to mistakes. At the same time, you should not say too much, let alone let it go."

Air Force pilots, when the plane takes off, they carry their heads to the sky. There is still this psychological quality. Ruan Gaoqi focused heavily: "Thank you, Mr. Min, I know what to say."

Men become bad if they have money, and men become bad if they have power.

In history, this guy was a whole "Chen Shimei". After he became power, he abandoned his wife and children and married a flight attendant in Vietnam Airlines. Now history has undergone tremendous changes, such as the "Double Eleven Coup" that just aborted, less than 14 hours from the beginning to the failure, not more than 3 hours in history.

With his own help, he will definitely be able to save his life. It’s a matter of whether the major captain can continue to do it.
