Volume 5 Zhongnan Storm Chapter 43 Frank Communication

In order to avoid exposing his identity, Pan Yunsheng led the [Head of State Councilor] as the "State Councilor".

Zhao Rundong not only notified Pang Xinglong, but also Peng Maobang, Gu Weimin, Huang Guowei, Pan Yunsheng and Ruan Liangyu arrived, Zhao Rundong had asked the secretary to prepare a pot of black tea and several pastries with Vietnamese characteristics.

The meeting started in a not-so-friendly atmosphere.

What surprised Pan Yunsheng was that Ruan Liangyu first proposed that the Republic sends special forces to take him away from Vietnam, which constituted the act of "kidnapping the leaders of other countries", which was the most serious war crime. He asked the Republic to make a reasonable explanation for this and apologize to Vietnam.

Peng Maobang did not give the "arrogant" Vietnamese Prime Minister a good look.

Pang Xinglong, Gu Weimin and Huang Guowei did not "grab the white" and left the problem to Zhao Rundong.

As a "State Councilor", Pan Yunsheng is not good at expressing any "high opinions".

After pondering for a while, Zhao Rundong said: "We can fully understand the anger of the Prime Minister, and we also ask you to understand the situation at that time. I believe that Member Pan has explained the relevant situation to you. If we do not make any decisions, we may not sit together to discuss the future of your country."

Zhao Rundong's words were neither soft nor hard, which not only showed the Republic's position, but also showed that the Republic had mastered the "Vietnam future" and gave Ruan Liangyu a warning.

The Vietnamese Prime Minister's face looked very bad, and he was obviously a little angry at Zhao Rundong's answer.

"Your Excellency, no matter what, the fate of the 80 million Vietnamese people is in your hands." Pang Xinglong stepped forward to resolve the deadlock. "This war is neither the place we want to see nor the place you want to see. End the war and develop bilateral relations in the place of "friendly coexistence" is both our goal and your goal. In the past seven years, you have made significant contributions to bilateral friendship and made great efforts to develop Vietnam. The friendship between China and Vietnam has a long history and has been friendly neighbors for thousands of years. Although there have been some unpleasant futures. But we believe that as long as we work together, we can not only resolve differences and contradictions as soon as possible, but also create a better future for the people of both countries."

When Ruan Liangyu's expression was slightly relaxed after hearing Pang Xinglong's words.

"So, your country also hopes to end the war as soon as possible?"

Pang Xinglong nodded and left the words to Zhao Rundong.

“We have always loved peace and have been working for peace.

"Zhao Rundong's attitude has also changed. "We have been working hard to resolve the dispute between the two countries through peaceful means. You should know that the 'Laos War' is not the war that our country provoked on its own initiative. No matter what, the war continues. The biggest victims are 80 million Vietnamese people and then 1.4 billion Republic citizens. We ask you to come. It is to strive to resolve the conflict between the two countries in a peaceful way. Let the 80 million Vietnamese people be spared from the poison of the war. You are willing to sit down and negotiate with us. It also shows that you are a good prime minister who truly loves the motherland and a good leader who is willing to devote himself to 80 million compatriots. Although the war has had a negative impact on our relationship between the two sides, I believe that as long as we work together, we can resolve differences and contradictions. Rebuild a new future of common prosperity, common development, and common progress. Write a new chapter in the relationship between China and Vietnam."

Ruan Liangyu smiled faintly and heard what Zhao Rundong meant.

The key is those "commons". Although Zhao Rundong did not say it clearly, according to Zhao Rundong's intention, the "price" of the Republic's support for Ruan Liangyu to return to the country to rule is Vietnam's "submission" to the Republic and establish an "alliance relationship" like China and Lao. Based on this, Vietnam must recognize the "return" of the Nansha Islands and the South China Sea territorial waters, give up its ambition to dominate Southeast Asia, and become a member of the "alliance system" with China as the core.

Ruan Liangyu is not a fool. Since Zhao Rundong made a request, he will naturally give Vietnam great help.

Nguyen Liangyu has always not supported "Vietnam dominate Southeast Asia". Although Vietnam has the second largest population in Southeast Asia, Vietnam does not have the basic strength to become a regional power at all. Whether it is its land area, resources, economy, science and technology, culture, diplomacy, etc., Vietnam is a small regional country.

The reason why Vietnam is leading to the astray is the "dominant idea".

Since the wars in the 1960s and 1970s, Vietnam has been showing off its power by "resisting French and American invaders" and once claimed to be "the third largest military power in the world". As a result, it was "learned" by China in just a few years and became one of the poorest countries in the world.

After the end of the Cold War, Vietnam embarked on the road of "reform and opening up".

With the rapid development of the economy, the "dominant idea" expanded again. 8,000 Vietnamese people did not gain any benefits, but were pushed into the abyss of war.

After pondering for a long time, Ruan Liangyu sighed and said, "Hisser Head, I want to know the actual assistance your country can provide."

Zhao Rundong nodded and looked at Peng Maobang first.

"First, we will send troops to occupy Hanoi." Peng Maobang did not talk much, and directly talked about military operations. "Afterward, we will escort the Prime Minister back to Hanoi to provide comprehensive protection for the Prime Minister and assist the Prime Minister in suppressing the rebels. If necessary, we will also send troops to occupy them.

Other large and medium-sized cities including Chi Minh City will pacify Vietnam as quickly as possible + During this period, we will eliminate political opponents including Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie for the Prime Minister."

Ruan Liangyu's brow jumped a few times and said, "How to ensure that the new regime can be supported by the people?"

Peng Maobang did not speak anymore, but turned his gaze to Pang Xinglong.

"After the establishment of a new government, we will provide your country with economic assistance and other aspects to help your country carry out post-war reconstruction." Pang Xinglong paused for a moment and said, "We can also attract investment for your country through government guarantees, help your country develop its economy, solve unemployment problems, and improve people's living standards. Your Excellency the Prime Minister is proficient in economy, has outstanding talents in national construction, is clear about our country's strength, and also knows the driving effect of the industrial structure adjustments being implemented in our country on the economies of neighboring countries. As long as we cooperate sincerely, I believe that within five to ten years, your country will create world-renowned achievements, and your people will gain great benefits."

Ruan Liangyu nodded, as if she felt that Pang Xinglong's answer was still not comprehensive enough.

Zhao Rundong coughed twice and looked at Gu Weimin, who was sitting next to Pang Xinglong.

"In addition to economic assistance, we can also provide appropriate military assistance to your country." Gu Weimin is much more than Peng Maobangswen. "After you form a government, we will be responsible for forming a government army of 100,000 to 150,000, providing training and necessary weapons and equipment to help you consolidate your regime. After your regime is stable, we can also sign necessary treaties with your country, and even provide national defense guarantees for your country."

Ruan Liangyu smiled faintly, as if Gu Weimin had not mentioned the key point.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about anything." Zhao Rundong took a deep breath and said, "As long as your country returns to normal, we will not interfere in your internal affairs. If you have any worries, we can sign relevant agreements. After your country completes combat operations, our country's army will withdraw from your country in accordance with relevant agreements. In terms of security, we fully respect your country's opinions and will not force your country to sign any treaty that is contrary to the interests of the country and nation.

No matter what, we sincerely make friends with you and cooperate with your country."

Hearing this, Ruan Liangyu said, "I understand what the Head of State means, it's just that empty talk has no meaning."

"Of course," Zhao Rundong glanced at Huang Guowei, and after the Foreign Minister handed over the documents he brought to Ruan Liangyu, he said, "This is a cooperation agreement we have drawn up. You can discuss with your embassy staff in our country, or anyone else. The most important thing at the moment is to end your unrest, suppress both sides of the civil war, and help you return to Hanoi to establish a new government, so as to get your people out of the sea of ​​suffering."

Ruan Liangyu quickly glanced at the file directory and said, "If possible, I hope to follow the first unit back to Hanoi."

"It's absolutely fine." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "But, for your safety, we hope that you can stay in Kyoto for a few more days. After the combat operation begins, we will inform you of the progress of the battle at any time. When the time is right, I will arrange for senior officials to return to Hanoi with you."

Ruan Liangyu nodded and said, "In this way, I need to sign this agreement as soon as possible?"

Zhao Rundong did not avoid this question and nodded to say that this is exactly the case.

"I hope to return to the embassy and discuss with relevant personnel before making a decision."

Zhao Rundong naturally would not refuse this small request. After asking Pang Xinglong and Huang Guowei to accompany Ruan Liangyu to the Vietnam Embassy, ​​Zhao Rundong deployed tasks for Peng Maobang and Gu Weimin, allowing Pan Yunsheng to stay.

"It's very difficult, isn't it?"

Zhao Rundong smiled and shook his head. "As you said, Ruan Liangyu is indeed a patriot. Everything is based on national interests and will not make any concessions."

"Maybe, we have to consider changing one person."

"There is no need." Zhao Rundong handed a cigarette to Pan Yunsheng, "A independent Vietnam is not only harmful to us, but also beneficial. Think about it, Vietnam has a population of 80 million. Can we treat Vietnam with a policy of treating Laos? With this burden on our burden, our development will be greatly affected. As long as Vietnam is willing to move forward on the road of peaceful development, as bilateral economic exchanges become more and more frequent, Vietnam will still pose a threat to us? Besides, pacifying the Vietnamese civil war is not a matter of time. Even if Nguyen Liangyu returns to Hanoi and establishes a new regime, it may not necessarily be able to control the entire territory of Vietnam. At that time, if the war is dragged on, Nguyen Liangyu will not only not blame us, but also ask us for more assistance. On this basis, helping Vietnam rebuild after the post-war reconstruction is much more meaningful than entering Vietnam now."

"It seems that you have thought about it."

Zhao Rundong smiled but said nothing.

Pan Yunsheng also secretly admired him. From the beginning, Zhao Rundong considered what happened decades later. As the head of state, Zhao Rundong showed no worse ability than Ji Youguo. (To be continued,)
