In the early morning, the slogans of the guard training came from outside.

Didn't stay up late last night, Ng Dingm woke up very early. After breakfast, he came to the office with his younger brother Ng Ting-hung to read documents sent by various provinces.

In order for his brother's belief to not be shaken, all the documents he had to review were screened, but some things could not be hidden, especially Li Weimin and news from the next six provinces.

Wu Ting-hung took out the lowest part and whispered: "Although the Americans did not participate in the rent reduction and fixed tenancy meetings held by the Americans in Can Tho, the rural land reform plan they carried out was finally passed under the promotion of what they had done. The Industrial Investment Company and the US Aid Management Group jointly ditched the investment, repurchased the land from the landlords at market prices, sublease or reselled it to the tenant farmers."

The "Industrial Investment Department" began to intervene in the countryside, which was purely expected.

Ng Diem was born into an official family. The official family of the Ruan Dynasty was actually a landlord family. He had worked as a county magistrate and governor. He knew too much about the rural situation and did not think that he had been living on the embankment when he was a child. He went to the United States to study after graduating from high school and never planted land. Li Weimin, who knew nothing about the countryside, would do better than himself.

While reviewing other documents, he asked as if nothing had happened: "That's all?"

Everything that has happened in Can Tho these days directly affects the government's foundation in the Golden Ow Peninsula.

Wu Ting-hyun dared not hide anything and said solemnly: "Three brothers, they are very active and want to set up a special land reform management agency, with Nguyen Zai-kun, chairman of the Vung Tau Industrial Village Trade Union, as the director of the institution, and select cadres from various industrial village management committees to mobilize students from Phu Quoc and other community colleges to enrich the institution's strength, and also hire high salaries to hire personnel who have worked in the national rural cadre team."

"The name Ruan Zaiquan is quite familiar."

"Vietnam allies participated in the 'work-movement'. They were arrested during the 1956 purge and protected him for the people. After that, they have been in various industrial villages. The security team turned a blind eye and actually made him elected as the chairman of the Upper Vung Tun Industrial Village Trade Union. However, it should have nothing to do with North Vietnam, because he issued a public statement in the newspaper when the Nanjie was established."

Wu Diem was confused and took off his glasses and asked: "I have participated in the 'work-mobility'. I am not a farmer's association. How could such a person lead the land reform?"

"The intelligence shows that it has nothing to do with serving the people, and the Americans demand it. He is closer to the opposition and often moves in villages around the industrial village of Vung Tau. He has published several articles on land reform in the newspapers of the Industrial Investment Company. The Americans value it and think he can do it."

"I didn't expect that I was willing to be an American political vase for the people."

"He only has Chinese people in his heart. As long as they are in the interests of Chinese people, he will not consider national sovereignty."

The government wants to expand the scale of the national army. It increases from 170,000 to 200,000 now. The United States firmly disagrees because every time one person is added, the US government will increase the expenses of one person. The "Industrial Investment Department" can form two infantry divisions and an armored division at once because they only need weapons and equipment and do not require the US government to bear more expenses.

Money is not omnipotent, and it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

The reason why Americans are determined to directly "industrial investment" is largely due to money. For example, if the land reforms in the following six provinces do not have the wealthy "snapper" of the industrial investment company, the US Special Economic and Technological Mission and the International Development Mission in Vietnam will definitely not be able to play with it.

Fortunately, Li Weimin has a clear attitude. He will not support the government as before, nor will he oppose the government as much as the opposition. As long as he does not openly break up, he will continue to bear the obligations he should bear.

It is actually very easy to move the "industrial investment department". As long as it incites national sentiment like Nanjie, it is important to do so that the government cannot bear the consequences of public rebellion.

Ng Diem sighed inwardly and asked lightly: "Is there any?"

"Ruan Zaiquan attended a press conference yesterday and announced a series of policies on land reform in the next six provinces. The maximum land rent is directly reduced from 25% stipulated in the Land Transfer Law to 15% of the total harvest; the tenancy period is directly extended from the previous three to five years to eight years; the individual can hold up to 100 hectares of land, directly reduced to 30 hectares. It also includes the land rent for the ancestral worship. The land rent is reduced so low and the tenancy period is so long that it forces the landlords to sell the land to the management department."

"What if they don't sell it?"

"There are not many landlords who rely on rent collection in the lower six provinces. Almost all have business dealings with industrial investment companies and industrial villages. Even if there is no business dealings, they have to ask their children to study in schools opened by the "Industrial Investment Department" and go to hospitals of the Industrial Investment Department for medical treatment. They are so strong that no one dares to offend them. Moreover, farming is not as good as before. If you want a good harvest, you must use the electricity from the Southern Power Grid to irrigate, and you must buy pesticides and fertilizers produced in the Fuguo Island Special Zone."

The "Industrial Investment Department" has penetrated into South Vietnam in all aspects. Even the Presidential Office uses tap water from the "Industrial Investment Department" and the electricity from the "Industrial Investment Department" power plants.

Ng Diem suddenly discovered that capitalists are more terrifying than North Vietnam and can actually control your life silently unless you want to return to primitive society.

Wu Ting-hung touched his nose and then said: "Their ultimate goal is to sell the land to farmers. Not only will the Industrial Investment Company and the US aid management provide funds, but also cooperate with six banks including East Asia, Saigon, Nanyang, Yuehua, and Fuguo to provide low-interest loans to farmers who are interested in purchasing land, and the repayment period can be extended to 15 years."

"So they will focus on land reform for the next period of time?"

"Yes, Chen Shiguo admitted in an interview with reporters that he would take up a large amount of funds from the industrial investment company to promote land reform in the six provinces, and announced that the third batch of industrial village development plans will be shelved indefinitely."

Focusing on land reform means that there will be no more trouble for the government.

As for the six provinces, they cannot escape from the territory of South Vietnam. Ng Diem believes that as long as the Southern Liberation Department is solved and the situation is truly controlled, more than 30 counties that have been built by the "Industrial Investment Department" will be taken back.

Just as I was wondering if I would like to join the land reform management agency to intervene in the sand, a deafening explosion suddenly came.

With a loud bang, the entire building shaking. The violent shock wave shattered the glass and overturned the tables, chairs and benches. For a moment, thick smoke rolled, and gravel and wood chips flew everywhere.

"What's going on? Where can I shell the shell?"

He got up in a dirt state. Wu Tingjun was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He hurriedly held it tightly. At this time, a bomb fell from the sky with a harsh whistling sound, smashing the roof and falling directly into the office.

Air strikes, not artillery attacks!

Wu Diem reacted and was completely stunned when he looked at the visible UA logo on the bullet. The bomb was at least 500 pounds. He directly thought that this time he might be doomed, so he didn't even care about praying, so he subconsciously closed his eyes.

God seemed to be favoring their brothers again.

A second passed, no explosion.

Two seconds passed, but it still didn't explode.

...

It was not until the guards rushed in that the two realized that this might be a dud.

However, this was only just the beginning. After following the guards, they ran to the stairs and found that the bedroom had been blown into ruins by the first bomb. The guards outside suddenly screamed: "Rocket, lie down quickly!"

boom!

Another loud noise, a rocket dragged the tail flame and overturned a car parked at the door. Shields and glass flew across, and the Presidential Guard suffered heavy casualties, and cries of help, screams, and wails were heard.

Dada, dada...

A single-person propeller-type "Air Knight" fighter jet dived from the east side and fired a strait at the anti-aircraft gun aiming in front of the air. It flew very low, almost able to see the outline of the pilot. The National Air Force logo on the wings was even more conspicuous.

"Air force coup, cover the president to the basement!"

"There is another one, come down, find cover soon.

"Anti-air gun, aim quickly and shoot it down for me!"

The Presidential Guard is worthy of being the elite whom Lansdale helped train. The guard officers responded quickly and ordered the president to cover the basement while organizing a counterattack in the rain of bullets.

Unfortunately, the Presidential Guard is only equipped with four anti-aircraft machine guns and rarely conducts air defense training. It is not easy to kill two fighter jets.

"Sanitation soldiers, health soldiers, come over quickly, someone is injured."

After rushing into the basement, Wu Diem took a breath and saw Chen Lichun covered in blood. Wu Ting-jeong was so scared that he hugged her tightly and shouted: "Lichun, hold on, Lichun, the health soldiers will arrive soon."

"It's okay, I'm fine, the child, go and save Lishui and Tingchuo."

"Mom, mom, I'm here, we're fine."

The children were crying heartbrokenly, and Wu Diem was anxious. He confirmed that his younger brother and sister were fine and immediately ran to the corner to call the General Staff, contacted a Johor Bahru Air Base, and contacted the nearest air defense force.

The North Vietnamese Air Force did not develop. Even if there were only a few aircraft that dared to invade South Vietnamese airspace, Saigon was outside its combat radius. The capital had never been air strikes, and it was not even the most intense time of World War II. The General Staff was in chaos and didn't know how to deal with it.

God knows whether it is a collective rebellion or an individual act.

Just when Ruan Qing did not dare to let the Air Force fighter take off, he ordered the nearest garrison to enter a airport in Johor Bahru. Two national fighter jets continued to fire rockets at the Independence Palace above the capital, which was almost unfortified. After the rockets were fired, they continued to hover, looking for angles to strafuse the Independence Palace.

Too unscrupulous!

In half an hour, two fighter planes bombarded and shot over the Independence Palace for more than half an hour.

There were thousands of people in the streets around the Presidential Palace, and almost all citizens ran out to watch the air strikes. The U.S. Embassy and Military Aid Command sounded the alarm, so everyone entered the basement, fearing that they would become the next target.
Chapter completed!
