Chapter 20 Return!

The situation in Vietnam is too complicated. The outside world is affected by the confrontation between the two major camps. It is undergoing colonial and anti-colonial struggles, and there are many mountains inside and the factions are endless.

Historically, Ng Diem was able to regain military power from the French and the Great Warlords, pacify warlords and establish the Republic of Vietnam when the United States was almost replaced several times in his early years.

The situation is so subtle that it can move the whole body.

Everything goes with the flow. Driven by the huge inertia of history and unremitting efforts of personal affairs, Wu Diem was able to control the situation and serve as two presidents for eight or nine years without any danger.

If you think you have the advantage of being foresighted and follow him and get involved, God knows how big the butterfly effect will be produced, and God knows whether history will go on a fork in the way.

The key to being self-aware. Moreover, there are not only few overseas Chinese in South Vietnam, they are not only timid and afraid of trouble, but also not united within the overseas Chinese area. They have deep-rooted gang views, have enemies in the business world, and some people are even involved in cruel ideological struggles.

We must unite the forces that can be united in the Xiti Chinese area, try every means to increase the proportion of Chinese in the South Vietnamese population, and let the Ng Diem government expand the living space of Chinese without any suspicion, and do everything possible to gain some autonomy for Chinese people.

This requires energy and time.

At this extremely sensitive critical moment, it is better to keep a low profile than to make trouble. So when you come back first, it is not to help Diem run, but to prepare for the future to avoid those warlords who do not accept anyone, and the Vietnamese spies who are in danger of being in danger.

It is worth mentioning that Americans still have to hold their thighs, otherwise the next plan will be difficult to implement.

Because of this, Li Weimin first rushed to the United States and happily accepted the invitation after several weighings. He met Professor Henry, who was about to go to Hong Kong to serve as the president of Bank of East Asia. He also exchanged views with Professor Fisher on a series of imminent problems facing Diem Ng as Prime Minister, and then returned to Vietnam with another professor named Sanderson as a representative of MSU (abbreviated as the Michigan University of Agricultural and Applied Sciences).

This is a government charter flight, with U.S. Officers from the United States Agency for International Development (USOM) and U.S. Special Technical and Economic Mission (STEM) officials. They were assigned by the State Department to investigate refugee issues and investigate Vietnam's economic development.

In fact, the first USOM officials arrived in Vietnam as early as January 25 this year. They were the third. Mr. Akure, who was chatting and laughing with a reporter, will replace the previous team leader as the team leader.

The STEM officials on the same plane were the second batch. It is said that after meeting the ambassador, they would go to northern cities such as Hanoi and Haipong.

The rows of clergy behind are the real supporters of Diem. They are from the American Catholic Welfare Society (NCWC), the American Catholic War Rescue Society (CRS) and the American Catholic Charity Society. They are all volunteers and are led by Father Hannet, commissioned by the Bishop.

In the end, there were two officers, a lieutenant colonel and a naval colonel, who were affiliated with the newly formed U.S. Military Advisory Group in Vietnam (MAAG).

Then I was not at all at ease. I had been running around since I got on the plane and asked the media reporters constantly.

There are Deerman of the New York Times, McLean who wrote for Times and Life Weekly, and the famous Pulitzer Prize winner who even treated Acre with courtesy, and a senior reporter from the New York Herald Tribune.

In contrast, reporters from The Prophet and The Catholic Herald seemed quieter. They were religious people, and everything was followed by Father Hannett. They even prayed very devoutly during their meal.

As the only yellow face in the cabin and from Vietnam, Li Weimin is undoubtedly the person who wants to chat with the most.

County officials are not as good as the current management. Although these officials are not of high rank, their status after getting off the plane is not low, and they have great autonomy in the use of aid funds and the distribution of materials.

The Li family is rich, but they can't support tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

It takes time to make money by yourself.

The distant water cannot quench the near thirst, so I can only make a decision. Li Weimin is willing to satisfy their curiosity and said with a serious expression: "About the land reform carried out by the Vietnam League in the northern region, a woman named Ruan Shinan in Daci County, Taiyuan Province is the most representative."

"A woman?"

"Yes."

He sighed and continued: "She is a housewife of a landlord family. She is very enlightened and helpful. She is deeply influenced by the patriotic movement and has great sympathy for the Vietnam League, which actively resists France. She gave the Vietnam League strong support and donated money, clothing and food. When the Vietnam League called on the people to donate gold to support the war against France, she took out hundreds of taels at a time."

“What a great oriental woman.”

"There is no doubt that in fact, she did not only this. In the most difficult period of the Vietnam League, her family became a shelter for leaders and cadres and soldiers of the Vietnam League. Many Vietnam League leaders, including Long March, Wu Yjia, Fan Wentong, Ruan Zhiqing, and Li Deshou, have been protected or helped by her."

A reporter blurted out: "I have heard of Wu Yjia, the general of the Vietnamese alliance who commanded the army to capture Dien Bien Phu."

An official from STEM added: "Fan Wen is in negotiations in Geneva, no doubt the top leaders."

Li Weimin's face turned up and stared at him with a deep heart and said with a deep heart: "Just like this woman who has provided help to the Vietnam League was the first to be killed during the land reform. She was thrown out as a representative of the landlord who must be liquidated, and launched a land reform movement by shooting her, the woman.

Her contribution to the violent revolution and national independence of the Vietnam League was explained by conspiracy theory, and was said to be "using hypocritical expressions that allowed her to get into the revolutionary ranks and destroy the revolution from within". It is worth mentioning that her two sons also participated in the anti-French struggle, one of which was even a regiment-level cadre in the Vietnam League army."

"My God, it's so cruel that such a thing happened in this world!"

"The atrocities, undisputed atrocities, should all be brought to court, and they should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity."

...

Seeing their indignation, Li Weimin continued: "Gentlemen, this is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, such tragedies are happening almost every day. In the northern region, which is what they call the liberated area, they are in full swing to launch the "punishment of reactionary and bully landlords" campaign, which stipulates that a certain number of reactionary and bully landlords must be executed.

According to the survivors who fled to the south from there, they were executing at a rate of one thousandth of the total population, and their methods were extremely cruel. It was already lucky to be shot, at least not much pain. Many people were stabbed to death, tortured to death, and even buried alive."

Father Hannett drew a cross on his chest and said worriedly: "Prime Minister Diem's ​​brother and nephew were buried alive by the Vietnam League, and millions of Catholics live there. Anyone with even a little mercy will worry about their situation."

Commander Akure took over the conversation and said expressionlessly: "In the Soviet Union, it is a consistent policy to ban Orthodox Church. The destruction of the church system was completed as early as 1930. The Bible was listed as a banned book and at least 100,000 priests were executed. The priests' concerns make a lot of sense. This tragedy is indeed possible."

"God blesses justice will eventually defeat evil."
