Chapter 180: Faithful words are hard to hear

After a fierce battle, the Palace of Independence was in a mess, as if it was back to the era of the Pingchuan warlords' coup.↗,

However, the citizens watching from afar, soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield and staff in the Presidential Palace treated the coup completely differently than that.

At that time, people sincerely supported the government and firmly opposed Li Wenyuan, standing on the side of Ng Diem. At that time, the morale of the military officers and soldiers was high, and the staff in the Independence Palace were boiling blood, not as dead as they are now, and they are almost suffocated.

Li Weimin nodded slightly at Chen Lichun who was going out to greet him and said sideways: "Director Xuan, I'll bring Major Qi by the way. Please ask slowly, and let me know after asking."

Whether lies can stand scrutiny does not matter, what matters is his attitude.

Taking people from the airport to the Independence Palace and saying this as the "first lady" is to tell everyone that Ruan Gaoqi wants to protect him.

Over the past six months, under the instruction of Wu Ting-jeong, he has investigated the Industrial Investment Department a lot of secretly.

As the investigation continued to deepen, Chen Jinxuan finally realized how powerful the person in front of him had. He was not a fool. How could he not know that this face must be given? Besides, there were sympathy and I don’t know how many people supported or even condoned the rebels in private. After investigation, it would only backfire. If those generals were annoyed, God knew if there would be another coup.

"Don't worry, Mr. Min, I will report it to you after asking."

He was very calm and Li Weimin didn't say anything else. He waited for the spies from the Political Culture and Social Investigation Bureau to take Ruan Gaoqi into a small room on the left side of the first floor before walking up the second floor with Chen Lichun.

Ng Diem was in the living room with Ambassador De Bro, General Lionel and Professor Wesley Fisher. It was not appropriate to go in now, so he simply pushed open the door of the Presidential Advisor's office. He saw Ruan Zhengshi, Wang Wendong and others hated him and strongly demanded that Ng Ting-jeong who was deported from the country.

If he hadn't promptly informed the Paratrooper Brigade of a coup, it would be hard to say whether the Independence Palace could be kept. And the last time it was so stalemate, and today I could still go back to Saigon without any grudges to help stabilize the situation. Seeing Li Weimin, Wu Ting-jeong was in a complicated mood. After hesitating for a while, he stretched out his right hand: "For the people. Thank you."

"Lishui and Tingchuo are my juniors. I don't want something to happen to them, so I say thank you very much."

I only talk about children, not the status quo. How could this happen if I was good?

Chen Lichun couldn't figure it out all the time, and closed the door with a bang, sat opposite him and said angrily: "For the people, what have we done wrong? Even if there is something wrong with Tingjie. The president is not sorry for you."

"Madam Jung, you are right, Mr. Yan is not sorry for me, otherwise I would not send a telegram to remind me, nor will I return to Saigon. If I were to say something wrong, I can only say that the times and society were wrong. If it were forty or fifty years ago, Mr. Yan was undoubtedly a great leader. However, now it is not forty or fifty years ago. Everyone has their own ideas. They hope to live according to their own wishes. They hope to have the feeling of being the head of the country and do not like what others impose on them."

Wu Ting-hung took a deep breath of cigarette and said coldly: "Western democracy is not suitable for Vietnam. For the people, you are too influenced by Americans."

Li Weimin said sincerely: "Mr. Wang, I agree with the view that Western democracy is not suitable for Vietnam. The key is that more people besides you and me want Western democracy. This is a historical trend and a trend of social development, just like striving for national independence. If we do not keep pace with the times and do not make any changes, we will be abandoned by everyone."

As Li Weimin said, society has changed a lot.

Nanyue is no longer the agricultural country before. With the rollout of industrial village plans, the economic development of rural areas near cities and various industrial villages is getting better and better. People are getting more and more educated.

If French colonial rule opened a window for Vietnam, then the Industrial Investment Company opened the entire door for Vietnam. The people, especially those intellectuals, saw a completely different world through radio, television, newspapers, and magazines, and had a trend of thought.

In addition, Americans have been fueling the fire, and the calls for the formation of a coalition government are getting higher and higher.

Looking back, the Industrial Village Plan is really a double-edged sword.

Wu Ting-chan received higher education. His younger brother Wu Ting-chan graduated from a French university and served as ambassador to the UK. Even his second brother Wu Ting-chan often went to France or Rome. Of course, he knew that he should keep pace with the times.

The key is that he has no room for compromise to get to this point today. As long as he shows such a little weakness, the opposition, the National Army officers who are dissatisfied with the government and the People's Workers' Party, and the Vietnam League that is raising troubles in the countryside will tear their family to pieces.

The only way is to give up power, and the only impossible is to give up power.

Looking at his expressionless face, Li Weimin continued: "Mr. Jae-hye, the country belongs to Mr. Yan, yours, Mrs. Jae-hye, and also mine, belongs to all Vietnamese. This problem is not solved, or it cannot be felt by most people that what happened today may just be the beginning."

"They dare!"

When talking about the coup, Chen Lichun became furious: "Tomorrow, convene an extraordinary meeting of the parliament, condemn the mutiny, issue the most severe decrees to punish those involved in the rebels, suppress the Vietnamese allies who are causing trouble, and search for all opposition."

Wu Ting-ying said: "We must strengthen news inspections and prohibit foreign newspapers from flowing in. All foreign journalists who distort, attack and slander the government will be deported."

When talking about foreign media, Chen Lichun was even more angry and said with a deep hatred: "No one wants to be insulted, ridiculed or sarcastic. At first I was unwilling to be interviewed by reporters, but they said that I was a person living in the ivory tower. I started to meet them, but sometimes the reporter who had never met me would write articles about me that were terrible."

The current foreign journalists, and the foreign journalists who come to interview during the action of the Freedom Road, are completely from two eras.

They had never experienced World War II, had never interviewed the Korean War, and were all young boys. They knew nothing about South Vietnam before getting off the plane. They often followed the crowd and published some biased and emotional analysis reports, intentionally or unintentionally harming the interests of the host country.

What's more, not only has a sharp tone but also arrogant.

At this press conference held by the Ministry of Defense, an American journalist aggressively asked some military secrets. The spokesperson said that this was an internal matter, and this was a military secret, and you don’t have to intervene too much.

An American journalist actually said with confidence: You (the South Vietnamese government) use our money, and we have the right to know the truth.

The result is conceivable. The spokesperson was embarrassed and embarrassed. Wu Diem and Wu Ting-jeong were furious when they learned about it.

The relationship between the government and foreign media is becoming increasingly tense, and various reports about Chen Lichun's short-term stories have been seen in foreign newspapers. Almost all the newspapers from Asian countries, which rely on Western radio stations and newspaper news sources, are reproduced and then flowed back to South Vietnam for publication. After repeated exaggeration and exaggeration, a public opinion situation with all negative reports has been formed.

Flies do not bite seamless eggs, and the direction of public opinion has not been well guided.

Li Weimin sighed inwardly and whispered: "The press censorship system has become the focus of people's attacks. If foreign newspapers are checked again, they will attract more severe accusations. They will definitely say that the government is stifling press freedom."

"For the people, you should know that the government must now show its attitude and must be tough."

If I really can't talk to him, Li Weimin said bluntly: "Mr. Wang, I don't want to take care of the government's affairs or have no right to take care of them. I just want to tell you that the Industrial Investment Company must maintain the status quo and cannot be nationalized within at least three years."

Finally it was clear that I really chose a good time.

Wu Ting-jeong was silent for a moment and said lightly: "The government orders must be unified, and the industrial villages and the Phu Quoc Island Special Zone can no longer be separated from the government, nor can it become a safe haven for the opposition."

"You insist?"

"You can think so."

Chen Lichun realized the seriousness of the problem and was afraid that they would quarrel again, so she hurriedly said: "For the people, we are not the Vietnam League, and we will not deprive anyone of our legal property. The government will compensate you and other shareholders, such as extending the mining rights of offshore oil fields and transferring the operating rights of piers such as Pingtung, Vung Tun, and Boliao."

Wu Ting-jeong obviously had a recovery plan and looked up and added: "Only take back the industrial investment company, not the industrial village enterprises. The shares of the Phu Quoc Island Steel, Chemical Industry, Electrical Equipment, Electronics Industry and Southern Power Grid held by the Industrial Investment Company can be converted to you all."

To put it bluntly, I don’t want your money, just your rights.

The problem is that Li Weimin neither wants to give money nor is he even more unlikely to hand over power. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang, I don't think the government can manage eleven industrial villages and the Phu Quoc Special Zone well. I will not allow the industry that has finally developed to be destroyed by a group of incompetent government bureaucrats."

Wu Ting-jeong asked coldly: "What if it is forced to take it back like the Egyptian government?"

"Saigon is not Cairo, and the Industrial Investment Company is not the Suez Canal."

South Vietnam has internal and external troubles, and its economy and military must rely on the United States, otherwise it will not be able to support it for half a year. Of course, Wu Ting-hyun knows where his confidence comes from. He frowned and asked, "For the people, what do you want to do? Should you oppose the president like Ruan Zhengshi and the others?"

Li Weimin stood up and said tit-for-tat: "Please don't doubt my position, but I won't blindly follow, and I won't use my trust to fool the president."

Maybe others don’t believe it. Over the past period of time, Wu Ting-jeong has really deceived himself and has really fooled his brother a lot.

Just a few hours ago, the coup officer who had not yet fled publicly admitted on the radio that Ng Diem had a noble personality and was a respectable patriot. However, he lived a monk-like life, lived in simplicity, gradually isolated from others, and was misled and fooled by so-called consultants such as Ng Ting-kong and his wife, so he launched a coup and proposed to form a coalition government and expel Ng Ting-kong and his wife.

Insidiously, Wu Ting-jeong became angry and stood up suddenly and said, "My brother needs confidence and encouragement. Isn't let him know that those unpleasant things are wrong?"

"The president is not just a symbol of the country, but not just a spiritual leader. Sitting in this position is to deal with unpleasant things, rather than turning a blind eye, and not being blinded!" (To be continued.) "", read the latest and most complete novel!
