The Independence Palace was seriously damaged and in a mess. ◇↓◇↓Xiao◇↓Small◇↓

Hundreds of military and police were martial law outside, and firefighters were still searching and rescued inside. The staff who survived the disaster were busy packing up documents and planning to move the Presidential Palace to Jialong Palace.

There is not even a place to sit, so it is obviously inappropriate to talk about things here.

Li Weimin was able to come at the first time, in a sense, which represents the attitude of the "Industrial Investment Department" towards the incident. Ng Diem urgently needs to stabilize the situation, how can he live up to his kindness?

The two of them exchanged a brief greeting, and together with Yang Wenming and Chen Shanqian, who arrived immediately afterwards, rushed to the hospital under the escort of many military and police officers to comfort the injured persons in the air strike.

Huang Shiliu, the press officer of the President's Office, was ready. Before the plane Li Weimin was on land, he contacted domestic and foreign media reporters in Saigon in advance, invited them to the hospital for interviews, and planned to hold a press conference in the conference room of the Army Hospital.

The convoy drove into the compound and the reporters rushed forward.

Many shrewd reporters found that the "Wu-Li relationship" was not as tense as rumors. Li Weimin not only came out of normalcy, but also lived in the same car with President Ng Diem.

The status of politicians, especially their closeness and distant relationship with the president, can be seen from their presence in public. When entering the door, Li Weimin followed Ng Diem, walked in front of senior military officials such as Yang Wenming and Chen Shanqian, and even Liu Jiachang, the former general manager of the Industrial Investment Company and the current government's economic minister, came.

After Ng Diem gave condolences one by one, Li Weimin said sincerely in the sound of taking pictures: "You are all heroes, they are brave and faithfully fulfilling their duties as soldiers. As a close friend of the President, I express my sincere gratitude to you for everything you have done. As an ordinary citizen, I am proud that the country has a warrior like you..."

Chen Lichun is also a wounded person and is receiving treatment in the same hospital, but because her identity is too sensitive, she cannot enjoy such high-standard condolences.

It was not until after attending the press conference and expressed his opinion as the chairman of the Industrial Investment Company, and witnessed Yang Wenming and other generals reaffirming their loyalty to the government and the president that they came to a luxurious ward on the third floor.

Wu Lijun and Tiantian came in from the side door of the hospital. They avoided the reporter's sight and did not appear in front of the public. They had already talked to Chen Lichun for a long time.

Facing Wu Ting-hwa, Li Weimin didn't know how to say hello. He believed that the other party was also embarrassed, so he simply smiled at Chen Lichun, who was half lying on the bed, and turned around easily and said, "Mr. Wang, this is a hospital, and there are not only patients and children in the ward."

Wu Ting-jeong was stunned and quickly extinguished the cigarette and said, "I'll go outside to smoke, you guys can talk."

"Where to go, let the kids go out."

Chen Lichun had always wanted to ease the relationship between her husband and Li Weimin, so she glared at him fiercely, and held back her laughter and said, "Lishui, Tingchuo, take Tiantian out to play, and her parents talk to Uncle Min for a while."

Everything that happened in the morning really scared the children. Wu Tinglishui, who had become a big girl, reacted and gave Li Weimin a very reluctant smile, holding his younger brother in one hand and preparing to go out with the other.

Wu Lijun knew that they had finally met, so they must have a lot to say, so they immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, sit down, I will accompany the children out for a walk."

Politics belong to politics, and private relationships belong to private relationships.

Wu Ting-jeong had a great affection for Wu Lijun, a gentle and skillful "sister" who never cares about politics. He smiled and reminded: "There are people outside, don't go far."

"We're just outside. Don't go downstairs."

As soon as her husband took the door, Chen Lichun stretched out her uninjured left arm and asked Li Weimin, "Weimin, help me get a cigarette. It's on the table."

"Does it hurt? Did the doctor get anesthesia and drunk?"

"It hurts a little bit."

Li Weimin stuffed the cigarette into her hands, and Wu Ting-jeong took out a lighter to help her light it. The two men sat on both sides of the hospital bed, one left and one right, and cooperated well in this room. But once they left this room, they would become political opponents.

Chen Lichun took a deep breath of smoke, choked with tears and said, "For the people, if that bomb was not a dud, you would not see the President and Ting-chan now. Perhaps Lishui and Tingchuo would be buried in the ruins."

It's really dangerous, just a little bit off.

Although in Lee Weimin's mind, Ng Diem and the person on the other side had long been "dead", they still said with lingering fear: "It's indeed dangerous, fortunately God bless."

"If we die, will you help us have a decent funeral and will you help us get revenge?"

The wife was injured and the children were frightened. Wu Ting-jeong felt guilty and drooped his head and smoked without saying a word.

The misfortune is not as good as the parents, and the sin is not as good as the wife and children.

Li Weimin watched Lishui and Tingchuo grow up. He didn't want the dangers of a few children, so he lit a cigarette and said, "If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. Children are outside, don't think about it. However, when it comes to Lishui and Tingchuo, I have an idea. There are many foreign children in Phu Quoc Island, and they have a special foreign language school. If they don't let them follow me, the conditions are really good, and they can cultivate children's ability to live independently."

Chen Lichun knew that this was his kindness and believed that he and Wu Lijun would treat the children as if they were every day.

As a mother, there is no need for children. Considering that the situation in Saigon is so chaotic, I was so moved for a moment and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Ting-Jie, what do you think?"

Perhaps it was because of self-esteem, or maybe it was trying to make a point of this, Wu Ting-jeong said lightly: "Lishui is old and has his own ideas. Whether to go or not, he will ask for her opinions. Ting-cho is too young, so it is not good to leave us."

"If you don't go to Phu Quoc Island, you can go abroad."

Wu Ting-jeong was anxious and suddenly stood up and said, "For the people, as long as you don't object, it will be useless if others oppose it. Our situation is not yet at the point where we have to send our children out to take refuge. We have experienced so many things together and overcome one difficulty after another. Can you have such a little confidence in the government, the president, and me? Why can't you think of facing it the same as before and defeating it like before?"

When he came again, he knew he would say this.

Li Weimin sighed secretly and said in a tempting manner: "Mr. Jade, a country that relies on foreign aid to continue its regime will inevitably be subject to diplomatic and political intervention. The same is true for North Vietnam, but it has not been spoken out and has not been made public. The government accepts aid, but is unwilling to accept the restrictions and supervision of the mechanism. Although it has the principle of safeguarding national sovereignty and dignity, it also gives people the concern of abuse of power.

Once this happens, it will attract doubts from all walks of life, and then dissatisfaction and resistance to the government, resulting in internal struggles and even bloody conflicts. To put it unpleasantly, the government has fallen into such a political abyss. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as difficult to return."

He dared to say these things in person, but in Wu Ting's opinion, they were a good thing, so he was afraid that he would keep them in his heart and say nothing.

"Is it so serious?"

"More serious than I thought."

Li Weimin took a deep breath and continued, "Look at you, there are all flatterers. The staff members are all reporting good news but not bad news. Mr. Yan heard all the good things from the government and unknowingly separated from the people. You have left a mysterious impression on the outside world. The people only know that you have the power of the state public security, the special forces and the huge national youth organization, and are the person who holds real power behind the scenes, but they don't know what you have done for the country.

Over the years, you have never tried to eliminate the barriers between you and the Western media, never willing to change your attitude or pay attention to the people's observation of the government, and never contact the social groups that sing opposite tunes. You always do your own thing. You are particularly sensitive to criticism of Western public opinion, and do not pay attention to explaining the government's measures through various channels, and do not actively improve the image of the government."

Although he never thought he was wrong, in order to repair his relationship with each other, Wu Ting-jeong still nodded, signaling him to speak freely and speak out as he pleases.

Without the support of their brothers, there would be no "industrial investment department" today.

Humans are emotional animals, and Li Weimin really doesn't want their family to go to a dead end, and then said: "Due to the arrogance and unconsciousness of the government, even the senior officials of the National Army and some cabinet aides have adopted a 'stay away from him and fear but not convinced' towards Mr. Yan. If he does not compromise, reform, and then form a coalition government, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Chen Lichun was already blinded by power. She didn't listen to these things at all. Instead, she asked anxiously: "For the people, have you received any news?"

"I don't know what's inside, I just know that allegiance is not just a word. As for diplomacy, I have received a little bit of news. Washington believes that the current situation report submitted by Ambassador Nortin, General Huggins and CIA Richardson is far less than that written by young journalists who lack Vietnam's work experience. I even believe that the report of Saigon representative is misleading Washington and too biased towards President Yan. If nothing unexpected happens, Ambassador Nortin's term is about to end."

His sister is a regular visitor to the White House, and the authenticity of the news is almost unquestionable.

The change of ambassador to Vietnam means that the United States' policy toward Vietnam will change. Wu Ting-hwa realized the seriousness of the problem and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know who will take over?"

"I don't know, but one thing can be confirmed that the United States has provided us with a lot of aid, but so many years have passed, they have neither seen the situation reversed nor any signs of improvement in the prospects. Washington government officials, including President Kennedy, are very impatient with the current government."

Looking at his solemn look, Li Weimin added: "Mr. Wang, although President Kennedy and Mr. Yan are both Catholics, the same religious beliefs cannot withstand the conflict of interests of real politics."

It's a very explicit hint that there's not much time left for them.

Wu Ting-jeong was silent for a while, stared at his eyes, and said with anticipation: "For the people, you can play a role. As long as you support the government and stand on the side of the government, you can overcome any major difficulties. Stay behind, stay in Saigon to help the third brother."

Li Weimin shook his head: "Sorry, now you and Mr. Yan are the only ones who can help Mr. Yan."

Chen Lichun grabbed his arm tightly and asked, "For the people, do you really have the heart to refuse to save me?"

"Sister-in-law, if I were such a person, I wouldn't have come today, let alone say what I said just now."

Li Weimin weighed the pros and conscience, and said seriously: "If you trust me, then retreat to advance and mobilize Mr. Yan to rest for a while. Whoever loves to do this president will not be able to do it, and make the country messed up, and the people who do not know the truth will know Mr. Yan's goodness.

Mr. Yan has experienced so many storms and waves, why can’t he go down again? I can guarantee that once the time is right, the industrial investment company and the business community will fully support Mr. Yan to clean up the situation.”

With great power in hand, who will give up easily?
