The battle of Dien Bien Phu ended with the victory of the Vietnamese Alliance, and the results proved that the previous estimates of both sides of the war were correct: the Vietnamese Alliance paid at least 20,000 casualties, which was 5,000 more than the French army's price, and the French army guarding Dien Bien Phu also "subdued either by death or surrender" as the Vietnamese Alliance said.

The war ended and negotiations began, but that did not mean that the war was over.

In order to win more bargaining chips for the negotiations in Geneva, the Vietnam League led its troops eastward with the power of victory and sent troops to occupy a area south of the Hanoi-Haidang Highway, forming a country in the middle, with a great momentum of sweeping the heartland of the Red River Delta.

The French army replaced the commander, and Major General Yili replaced Naval as commander-in-chief. In order to ensure the smooth flow of seafarers and supplies, some small-scale indecisive battles are being launched to attack the Vietnamese positions.

A airport in Johor Bahru is under high alert, and planes that flew supplies to Hanoi and picked up wounded personnel are constantly taking off and landing, no matter how heavy the rain is, how low the visibility is.

Perhaps the captain's flight skills are not as good as the French Air Force pilot, or perhaps he is not very familiar with the environment of Johor Bahru Airport, and encountered a little trouble when landing. When diving, he bumped violently, and many passengers, including Li Weimin, were thrown out of their seats. When he walked out of the cabin, he found that the plane had slipped out of the runway and a tire exploded when landing.

Too dangerous!

Fortunately, it was a propeller. If the jet plane was born, God would know if it would be destroyed. Li Weimin secretly vowed that he would buy a private plane when he had money and recruit the best flight and maintenance personnel in the world.

"Child, I'm glad to know you. Let's go to the Cathedral of Our Lady and go there to find me if you have anything."

There were more than a dozen cars on the apron, two of which were painted with crosses, and several priests in black robes and two nuns wearing headscarves ran over with lingering fears, thanking the Virgin Mary while running.

They are all "brothers and sisters" and they all plan to serve the Lord all their lives. It is normal not to go to the embassy to go to church.

Li Weimin hurriedly put down his suitcase, took out a stack of early prepared notes from his arms, and said sincerely while distributing it: "Father, above is my phone number and address in Saigon. If you have any questions, just call me and go find me."

"Thank you, God bless you, my child."

Father Hannett said goodbye to the passengers on the same plane, greeted the embassy agent who came to greet him, and took more than a dozen Catholic volunteers to the car of Our Lady Cathedral and drove straight out of the airport.

Following the bus leaving, Li Weimin saw two strange helicopters, and a big banana, and didn't know what model they were.

Just as he was fascinated by the viewing, the embassy agent Rob McTor and a lieutenant officer from the MAAG (Military Advisory Group), held an umbrella and shouted at everyone to get on the car.

Personnel from three different agencies and several journalists, in eight cars, were escorted down by a team of fully armed Vietnamese soldiers to the US Embassy located at 39 Ham Yi Avenue in the center of Saigon, near the west bank of the Saigon River.

Ambassador Heath set up a banquet to greet the crowd and announced the appointment of the naval colonel who arrived on the same plane as the assistant naval officer.

What made Li Weimin incredible was that in his speech, he actually warned the officials and officers of the three missions that it is not appropriate to hold any form of consultative meetings with Vietnamese officials and officers, and suggested that all activities of the people should be carried out after the United States and Vietnamese political leaders were paved.

Professor Sanderson held the plate and whispered to everyone, "Obviously, he doesn't like Mr. Yan and doesn't want to put the eggs in a basket."

Li Weimin looked back and said quietly: "There are many people who hold the same viewpoint. In their opinion, Mr. Yan may have been holding on for less than three months."

"what you think?"

"Professor, whether you believe it or not, only Mr. Yan can handle the complicated situation in front of him. If Mr. Yan persists for less than three months, then the others may not be able to hold on for even three days."

Professor Sanderson asked with a smile: "Li, are you so confident in Mr. Yan?"

"Of course, are you not you?"

Unlike the officials and officers of the three missions, the two of them came completely for Diem. Thinking of Professor Fisher and some senior Washington officials who supported Diem, Professor Sanderson sighed helplessly: "We are not even semi-official people, and it is useless to have confidence."

He really can't do anything now.

Li Weimin pondered for a moment, put down his fork and said, "Professor, I think Washington is still waiting for the situation to become clearer, and they may be waiting for the final result of the Geneva meeting."

“There is this possibility.”

Professor Sanderson walked to the window, looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street, and asked as if nothing had happened: "Li, what are your plans next?"

If nothing unexpected happens, Diem will not be back until next month.

This period of time must be used, otherwise it will be difficult to bring the most important Nongren in the whole plan to his side. Li Weimin didn't have time to be a tour guide for him. He raised his arm and looked at his watch, "First go home to visit my parents, sister and fiancée, and then go to visit Mr. Jin and Mr. Jing. I have been away from home for so long, and I have to deal with some business matters, so I guess I will be busy for a while."

"What a pity, I want to ask you to take me around."

"No regrets, although I don't have time, I have someone. I will stay in the hotel opposite for one night. I will send someone to be your tour guide tomorrow."

After getting Sanderson over, he greeted the embassy officials one by one and made a familiar face. With the help of Vietnamese embassy staff, Li Weimin brought out the four large suitcases he brought back from thousands of miles away.

The groom has really become an American official!

Seeing the American soldiers on both sides of the gate saluting him, Ma Anyi, who had been waiting outside the embassy for an afternoon, Wu Changming and others were so excited that they were over. As soon as Liu Jiachang opened the car door, they ran over happily.

"Why did you go there for so long?"

"It doesn't matter if you stay in the United States for a few more days, but you can't even have a telegram. The more you do business, the less you feel. If you don't come back, you will have to go to the United States to find you!"

Li Weimin nodded slightly at Liu Jiachang, got into the Ma family car and asked with a smile: "An Yi, what's going on? Is Piaster becoming less and less valuable?"

"Wu Yuanjia won, the French were wiped out, Hanoi, it's a matter of time before the sea defense is lost. Now 1 dollar can be exchanged for 53 Piast."

As soon as Ma Anyi finished speaking, Wu Changming added anxiously: "My brother-in-law said he couldn't bear to leave the child and couldn't catch the wolf. Since he was gambled, he would be bigger. We pulled some people and raised some money. The Piast he had eaten was almost over to the National Bank!"

“How much to eat?”

"If you change it, there is another price every day, so how can you calculate it slowly? Anyway, there is only more than 600,000 left in the 9.3 million US dollars. If we lose, we will all run away, otherwise our legs will be interrupted by the old man."

These guys are really not in a good way to swallow elephants.

Li Weimin didn't know what to say about them, so he patted his arm and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I can't pay it."

Ma Yian didn't dare to trust him blindly, stared at him with expectation and asked: "For the people, there are no outsiders here, so let's disclose some internal news. When will the Americans take action and how will they take action?"

"Don't worry, at most, everyone can share the money in one month."

Fearing that they could not bear it, Li Weimin deliberately lowered his voice and added mysteriously: "The US government has formulated a 'commodity import plan' to aid the Vietnamese government. The Vietnamese government exchanged these dollars to importers in exchange for Piast, and used the exchanged Piast for military and some non-military projects.

This has many benefits, which not only achieves the purpose of stabilizing finance, but also provides Vietnam with urgently needed assistance. When importers import consumer goods, the government can impose taxes, and at the same time play a role in promoting the economy and strengthening mobility."

"real?"

"What I do, this plan is what I'm involved in the development of."

Li Weimin smiled shamelessly, then looked straight and warned extremely seriously: "An Yi, Chang Ming, this news can only be known to heaven and earth, you and I. If it is leaked, it will not be as simple as breaking your legs!"

If the state secret is replaced, it is the state secret of the United States.

Besides, it is related to his own personal interests, how dare Ma Anyi talk nonsense everywhere, and quickly promised: "I'm stupid to talk nonsense everywhere. Don't worry, God knows you know me, I know me, and my old man doesn't let him know."

Wu Changming also hurriedly expressed his attitude, and the biggest stone in his heart fell. Thinking of the future benefits, the two of them laughed again: "For the people, we are good at this official position. In the future, we rely on you and listen to you, and only follow your leader."

"If you point to the east, we will not go west, and if you let us beat dogs, we will never catch chickens."

"What a mess, what relationship is our relationship, brothers! If you have the chance to get rich in the future, I will definitely bring you with you. I took a plane for dozens of hours, and I almost lost my life when I landed. I will just send me home today. I will talk about anything in a few days."
