In the early morning, a deafening roar came from outside the window.

Two Red Cross-coated UH-19 helicopters flew from the direction of Tushan Airport, circled around the beach where refugees gathered, and flew straight towards the coastal defense.

The International Red Cross has not yet been so luxurious that it is to purchase helicopters. These two helicopters were originally from the US Army and served on the Korean battlefield. When the Battle of Dien Bien Phu started, they were provided to the French Expeditionary Force as part of the aid.

A period of time after the Geneva Agreement was announced, the Vietnam League did not deliberately prevent the refugees from retreating south, and at most sent people to refugee camps to publicize and retain them. Later, seeing that more and more people wanted to escape, and only 50,000 to 60,000 people retreating north, they realized the seriousness of the problem and began to try every means to disturb them.

In order to ensure that the refugees gathered in the coastal defense can arrive smoothly in Hanoi, Li Weimin borrowed these two helicopters from France in the name of the Executive Chairman of the "Joint Meeting on Refugee Relief", carrying domestic and foreign volunteers and media reporters, and inspected the main roads that refugees need to pass every day.

If you find a problem, protest immediately.

At first it worked, but later, when there were too many protests, the representatives of the Vietnam League simply pretended to be confused and ignored it.

Father Hannett's mission is to save his "children". How could he watch the refugees get blocked back? He pulled the Red Cross representative John Becky to the International Supervision and Supervision Commission's resident every day, and strongly asked international observers from India, Canada and Poland to take helicopters to check it out.

He has his tricks, and the Vietnam League has its own way.

When the helicopter was released, the helicopter continued to "retain". Refugees flocked to Hanoi's coastal defense from all directions, and there were too many roads to inspect, so they fought endless "guerrilla warfare" and "war of words".

"Why are you flying here?"

Li Weimin felt very surprised that helicopter that was supposed to be patrolling flew over the beach.

The two secretaries have a clear division of labor. Ruan Mingxiu is in charge of the Industrial Investment Company and the "Yuehua Literature and Art Research Association". Huang Shiliu, the press officer sent by the Prime Minister's Office, was specifically responsible for the refugees' retreat in the south. She put down the document and said: "I just came to several American journalists yesterday. It is difficult to lose. The director and photographer of Li's Pictures also want to take aerial photos, so she flew over and take a walk."

Almost forgot about the documentary, Li Weimin put on his coat and asked, "Secretary Ruan, have you filmed it from the Industrial Investment Company?"

"It's being filmed, and Mr. David, an advertising planning expert in the Planning Department, is in charge."

"It's almost the end of the month, and I'll go to the United States next Monday at the latest. Please ask them to catch it."

"Okay, I'll urge you later." Ruan Mingxiu didn't dare to delay overseas financing and investment, so she picked up the pen and recorded it quickly.

According to the plan, the 90th Task Force of the US Navy and the French Navy will transport 7,230 refugees to South Vietnam today, of which more than 2,000 people will be on French ships and can board the ship at several docks in Haipang Port. Most of the refugees need to ferry at sea, including men, women, young, old, weak, sick and disabled. They can't wait to leave North Vietnam, but if they are not organized well, they will have stampedes.

As the highest official in the Hanoi coastal defense organization to retreat south, Li Weimin must go to the beach to check out.

Huang Shi Liliu held her briefcase and ran to report: "Mr. Min, the refugees who retreated south today are from 7 villages, and there are priests and church volunteers to maintain order. It should be no big problem."

"Where are those scattered refugees?"

"It will be included in all Catholic villages, otherwise it will be difficult to organize and manage."

"This is a great opportunity to preach."

Huang Shi Liliu burst out laughing: "The priests are busy and have no time to preach."

As it turned out, she was right. Several priests and more than 20 volunteers were barefoot, yelling and running around the beach. More than 5,000 refugees lined up one after another under their organization.

The children were ignorant and ran around, and the adults followed behind. The queue just lined up and became messy for a while. They had to reorganize and warned parents with a dry mouth that they must pay attention to their children.

Every day, a big man will come to organize the evacuation on the spot. Yesterday, Father Hanette came from Hanoi. A church representative was not surprised by Lee Weimin's arrival. He ran over and asked breathlessly: "Mr. Min, how are you preparing in the south? After this group of refugees arrive, there is a place to live and do you have something to eat?"

"It was very well prepared. When I set off, a huge tent city had been built around Vung Tau. It was probably the same for Saigon."

"It's great. If there is enough preparation there, I can ship another batch tomorrow."

The jokes made by the first group of refugees cannot be made for the second time. Li Weimin took the microphone and turned his back to the sea and shouted: "Comrades, please be quiet. I will announce some things to pay attention to during the last journey. In another twenty minutes, the French Navy landing ship will come. Please do not be anxious or squeezed. Arrive on the ship in an orderly manner under the organization of the priest and volunteers. At the same time, you must pay attention to their children and luggage and don't forget to fall.

After the landing ship reaches the deep water area, everyone needs to climb up the US Navy's large warship along a large net. People go up first, and finally hang their luggage up, so don't rush and squeeze. The US ** ship has prepared canned rice and sardines for everyone. Children have fruits and candies. Please don't believe the propaganda of the Vietnam League. The food is not poisonous or damaged, and it tastes very good. You can eat it with your stomach open..."

As he spoke, he took the canned sardines prepared too early from Huang Shi Liliu, opened them in front of everyone, ate one on the spot, and then asked the volunteers to give it to the children in front of him.

"who is he?"

"I don't know that he is Mr. Min, a member of the Government Refugee Committee, who is specifically responsible for our retreat to the south. He sends food to the Hanoi refugee camp and sleeps in the refugee camp for one night."

A young refugee stood on tiptoe and asked, "So young?"

"What's wrong with being young? They are young and promising!"

A volunteer from the Vietnam Youth League introduced with a smile: "Mr. Min is actually a Chinese, a Vietnamese Chinese. He was born in Saigon and grew up in Saigon. Later, he went to the United States to study and speaks Vietnamese, English, French and Chinese. The member of the Refugee Committee is a part-time job. He does not receive a government salary and is a volunteer like us."

"Chinese, Chinese?"

"If you have Vietnamese nationality, you are a Vietnamese, but you have Chinese descent."

...

The refugees whispered and whispered, talking about the young Vietnamese Chinese in front of them, and their reputation was accumulated bit by bit. The Chinese Youth Club volunteers present were very proud and believed that they might not know Prime Minister Ng Diem in the future, but they would definitely know Mr. Li.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the French Navy landing ship arrived at the beach on time. The refugees began to board the ship under the organization of the church, the Vietnam Youth League and the Chinese Youth League volunteers.

Thousands of people flew, and the twelve landing ships traveled back and forth dozens of times, and the ferry was not completed until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Weimin stayed until the last person got on the boat, and didn't even have lunch. The more than 20 volunteers who didn't follow the boat were the same. They were exhausted and sat on the beach without anyone trying to move.

Ruan Mingxiu was prepared for a long time, but there were too many refugees just now, so she couldn't be called to them for dinner first. Seeing that all the refugees were gone, she hurriedly opened a box of bread and took out a pot of water.

"Mr. Min, we translated the "You can win if you fight" you wrote into Vietnamese. Do you have no objection?"

We must establish good relations with Catholic refugees, and we must establish good relations with the group of volunteers from the Yue Youth Association in front of us. Li Weimin put down his bag and smiled: "It is my honor to like this song, how can I have any opinions?"

"My name is Ruan Qingshu, and it is an honor to know Mr. Min."

"My name is Li Jun. Mr. Min is so amazing that he can write such a good song."

Next, I will "compose a music" for the documentary "The Road to Freedom". In order not to be regarded as a freak, Li Weimin smiled shamelessly: "Dear classmates, I have always dreamed of being a musician, but I am the only heir in my family. I cannot pursue my dreams like others. So when I was in Paris, I joked with Prime Minister Yan that if I was obsessed with my dreams, my dad would break my legs."

The students burst into laughter. After laughing, a female student from Yueqinghui who looked very innocent, blushed and asked, "Besides "Everyone Rowing the Big Boat" and "You can win if you love to fight", what other works do Mr. Min have?"

"The two songs are not satisfied. Does Mr. Min have any old or new works?"

She started and was out of control. The volunteers from Yueqing and Huaqing Association all asked excitedly.

Li Weimin suddenly realized that he had become an idol and could take the idol-style route. After weighing the pros and cons, he said modestly: "There are several old works, which were composed when I was studying. Today I felt a sore throat. I hummed it for everyone after I recovered. As for the new works, I am conceiving a song with the theme of refugees retreating south. I hope that I will not disappoint everyone at that time."

"Mr. Min is so amazing. He really should be a star."

"I must have a good image of a star, I must be able to sing, and there must be a typhoon when performing. I can only compose music and write lyrics. I have a bad image and sing badly, so I can't be a star."

The Vietnamese girl who asked the question just now made a fool of herself: "Mr. Min can't sing well, I can sing for you."

"Okay, what's your name?"

"Pan Huizhu."

"So it's Miss Huizhu. If you have a new work, you will definitely contact you."

...

These Vietnamese girls are too bold. Ruan Mingxiu didn't want her cousin's husband to be seduced away, so she immediately gave Huang Liliu a wink. Huang Liliu reacted and hurriedly reminded: "Chairman, it's time for us to go to the refugee camp. A batch of grain has just arrived. You need to preside over the distribution."
