Chapter 195: Reining in the Cliff

There seems to be no secret in Saigon. It is well known that such a big event in the Chinese area of ​​the embankment has taken over the armed forces and fully taken over the embankment.

From 3:00 p.m. to now, Yang Wenming received more than 20 calls, all of which were from his old subordinates, asking which side they should stand on.

If I had known that Wu Ting-jeong would not have the sand in his eyes, he would sooner or later turn against Li Weimin, who had shared the hardships with their brothers. But I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and I didn't expect such intense means to be used.

The "Industrial Investment Department" is different from Ruan Zhengshi. Wang Wendong's ignorant young and strong officers not only have the support of the US government, but also have strong combat effectiveness 5th Infantry Division and a huge security force, but also have money and influence.

** At least one-fifth of the officers of each department come from the security team of the industrial village; at least one-third of the intermediate officers are "family" of industrial investment companies or enterprises in various industrial villages; almost all the officers hold stocks of industrial investment companies, and almost every family has purchased industrial investment bonds or has deposits in banks such as East Asia, Saigon, Overseas Chinese and Nanyang.

Besides, government and military expenditures, except for US aid, almost all come from industrial investment companies and dike commercial areas.

Yang Wenming's first idea was that Wu Tingjun was crazy, otherwise he would never have done such a stupid thing. After careful consideration, it suddenly turned out that the Wu brothers and Li Weimin had an internal strife, which might be an opportunity to resolve the current chaos.

Because they do this, they will definitely anger the United States.

Once the support of the United States is lost, those in the Independence Palace are nothing, and the IOU does not have the conditions to compete for the highest power. As long as there is enough support from senior officers, you can do a great cause.

The more he thought about it, he became more and more excited. He drove to the General Staff himself, preparing to test the words of Chen Shanqian, Ruan Qing, Li Wenji and others first, and then make further plans.

In fact, it proves that the "industrial investment department" has an amazing influence.

In the "Double Eleven" coup, Ruan Qing, the chief of staff who firmly supported Ng Diem, was undecided. Even the mayor of the military control, who was trusted by the Wu brothers, could not make up his mind to order the troops to blockade the major traffic routes to the embankment. Chen Shanqian was definitely an old fox, sitting in the corner without saying a word, and did not express any opinions.

The most uneasy one was the naval commander Colonel Hu Jinquan. He had just called the Independence Palace to persuade him to get his life, and now he called the US affairs consulting group and begged the Americans to mediate.

Yang Wenming coughed twice and asked lightly: "Everyone, is there any movement in the embankment and Vung Tau?"

Ruan Qing was dissatisfied with him, the presidential military adviser, but now he is a grasshopper on a rope and must unite to overcome difficulties. He glanced at Chen Shanqian and whispered: "The police stations of the Fifth and Sixth counties have announced martial law in front of the Ministry of the Interior in the name of searching for fugitives. They put weapons and ammunition to the public security police, traffic police and fire department police, blocked the main roads, and organized citizens near strategic places such as Betton Bridge to evacuate.

Two hours ago, Pingtung Industrial Village and Vung Tun Industrial Village issued a mobilization order under the name of national defense exercises, canceling the leave of security team officers and soldiers, recruiting reserve personnel to form reserve troops. Relatives of the staff officers working in the Industrial Village said that two infantry regiments, one artillery regiment and one armored battalion have been formed."

A school official suddenly said, "Is a bunch of mobs effective?"

Due to business relationships, Navy Commander Hu Jinquan has a close relationship with Industrial Investment Company. He knows a lot about the reserve construction of various industrial villages and says sarcastically: "The officers of the security team either retired from the Fifth Division or graduated from the Phu Quoc Institute of Technology. The training intensity is higher than that of the Paratrooper Brigade and the 6th War Division. Since the previous year, they have been in the Parrot Corner and Zhensha area to take turns to fight.

Although the reserve personnel only train for one month a year, the training intensity is not low at all, and they conduct exercises from time to time. The bullets and shells they use to shoot targets are at least five times that of **. They are well equipped, medical assistance, disability arrangements, and pension systems. They are all inclusive and their morale is higher than **."

The school official took a breath and looked at the map and asked skeptically: "Can Pingdong Industrial Village pull up a division in such a short time? Can eleven industrial villages and the Phu Quoc Island Special Zone form three armies in a short time?"

"More than three armies!"

Ruan Qing hugged her arms and said expressionlessly: "The Phu Quoc Island Special Zone Security Team was originally a reinforcement division. In addition, there are Hezhu Border Defense Division, Gaolu Patrol, Water Patrol Corps and tens of thousands of militia self-defense forces. Perhaps even the detective teams from the six provinces are standing on their side."

"It's no wonder the Independence Palace is going to take action."

"It's too late."

Chen Shanqian stood up and lit a cigarette and said, "One 5th Division alone requires two divisions to restrain it. The enemy is facing the enemy. What should I use to fight against others, and why should I fight against others?"

The short school official has always disliked the Industrial Village Security Team. He has always wanted to include the Industrial Village Security Team in the command sequence of the General Staff Department. He is young and energetic, so he will not consider the overall situation, nor will he consider the consequences of the war. He said coldly: "The army is nationalized and our division is famous. Do they really dare to be rebels?"

Another major couldn't help but add: "Our troops are too scattered and cannot be assembled for a while, and they cannot be easily assembled. Local forces may not have an advantage, but we have an air force, and we can launch air force bombing if necessary."

Those "proud sons" trained by Americans can be called natural allies of the "industrial investment department". What jokes are you kidding that the Air Force is counting on the Air Force to throw bombs on the heads of the Industrial Village Security Team?

Yang Wenming was completely convinced and as if he didn't hear anything, he then asked: "Where is Li Weimin and Chen Shiguo now? Is there any movement in Can Tho?"

Nguyen Qing touched his nose and sat opposite him and said, "Li Weimin is in Can Tho. He just called Gao Wenyuan, Wu Guangchang, Du Gaozhi and others. Can Tho Industrial Village and Pingdong Industrial Village have issued a mobilization order. Gao Highway Patrol has entered the vicinity of the Fourth Tactical Zone Command.

Chen Shiguo was in Vung Tau and called the garrisons near various industrial villages one by one. Judging from the situation we have, as long as the US ambassador makes a public statement, whether the Independence Palace directly gives orders or through the General Staff, the military operations against the Industrial Investment Company will likely end in failure and will likely be miscarried in an extremely funny way."

Wu Ting-hsiung's crazy actions gave everyone a multiple-choice question: either support the government or support the "industrial investment department".

The United States has always been dissatisfied with the Wu brothers and will undoubtedly support "people who do serious business" such as Li Weimin, Chen Shiguo and Wu Andong. Therefore, the risk of supporting the government is far greater than supporting the "industrial investment department", whether from the moment or in the long run.

Just as Yang Wenming was about to express his thoughts, Chen Shanqian suddenly said: "Everyone, Wu Ting-hook is crazy, Li Weimin is not crazy. I feel that there is little chance of a conflict, and the possibility of a big fight is very small. Don't worry first, wait, maybe there will be a turnaround soon."

Li Wenji asked anxiously: "General Qian, can you explain it clearly?"

"It's very simple. War will not only kill people, but also affect the exhibition of industrial villages. Without any necessity, neither Li Weimin nor Americans will send so many workers to the frontline."

The consequences of the fight are very serious. Once the United States stops aid, once the industrial investment company and the embankment commercial area no longer bear part of the military expenditure, it will collapse without fighting in a few days. Because money is not omnipotent, but without money is absolutely impossible.

Hu Jinquan, who has always supported Ng Diem, did not want the two sides to go to war, and said worriedly: "The key initiative lies in the Palace of Independence, not in Can Tho."

Chen Shanqian smiled and said confidently: "The president may let Wu Ting-hwan make the decision on other things. But when it comes to industrial investment companies and Li Weimin, the president will definitely have his own considerations."

As he expected, no matter how Wu Tingchu and Wu Ting-hung persuaded him, no matter how many times he had made his mind before, at the critical moment, Wu Ding-hung failed to agree to take military action.

He read Li Weimin's handwritten letter again, and then learned about the movements of the "Industrial Investment Department" from Chen Jinxuan, took off his glasses and said: "If Weimin really opposes me, he will not only issue a mobilization order to Pingdong Industrial Village and Can Tho Industrial Village, nor will he be in the name of an exercise."

"But he still issued a mobilization order."

"He wants to protect himself, he wants to give an explanation to the people below, and he cannot do anything without any action. I can see that he is as restrained as possible. Tinghuan, let the troops retreat, and don't make mistakes again and again."

"Third brother!"

There is only one opportunity. If you miss it, it will be even more difficult to solve the problem of industrial investment companies in the future. Wu Ting-jeong feels heartbroken.

Although Ng Diem clearly understood that Li Weimin would not hand over power easily, he shook his head and said, "Stop talking, that's it. In addition, help me send a telegram to Weimin, or ask my younger brother and sister to go there in person, tell him that I want to inspect the six provinces, inspect the Phu Quoc Island Special Zone, and go and see every day."

Wu Tingchu blurted out and said, "It's too dangerous, I don't agree."

He can only play emotional cards for Li Weimin. At this point, he can only repair the relationship between the two parties in this way. Ng Diem said as if nothing had happened: "Second brother, there are many people who want to assassinate me, but they will never include Weimin. Not only do I have to go to inspect, but I also have to ask the Industrial Village Security Team to be responsible for safety."

Seeing his brother and younger brother wanting to speak, Wu Diem had to continue, "Don't you see it yet? If you really have any ideas for the people, you can use your relationship, influence and even money to win over **, and use the TV, radio and newspapers controlled by the Industrial Investment Company to create public opinion. But he did not, but wanted to ease the situation, maintain the status quo, and not want to give North Vietnam and other opposition opportunities to take advantage of it."

"Don't you just let it go?"
