When Zhang Lingfu got off the "Junkers", he saw a major officer from the Mountain Division who had been waiting on the runway. As soon as he saw Zhang Lingfu coming down, he saluted: "Sir, the first
Liu Tanggui, commander of the first battalion of the 586th Regiment of the 77th Mountain Division, has completed the task of occupying the airport. Please give instructions, sir."
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Liu. The interspersed missions these past few days must have been very hard," Zhang Lingfu asked with a kind face.
"Sir, it's nothing hard. I just killed more than thirty brothers while walking through the dense forest last night." A trace of sadness flashed across Major Liu Tanggui's smoke-filled face.
Zhang Lingfu sighed, stepped forward and patted Liu Tanggui on the shoulder, "The deceased is gone. Major Liu, don't think too much about it. I will ask for credit for you in front of your teacher."
Liu Tanggui shook his head, "Sir, our Mountain Division brothers have been gloriously prepared since they put on this military uniform. Now please allow me to return the same way and bring back the bodies of those brothers."
"Go ahead, do you need me to do anything?" Zhang Lingfu sighed and looked at the tired major and asked.
"No need, sir, we can go alone." After Liu Tanggui finished speaking, he headed towards the dense forest with hundreds of soldiers behind him.
Seeing these tired soldiers returning to the dense forest, a staff officer behind Zhang Lingfu asked with some doubts: "Sir, how come these brothers from the mountain division were able to kill dozens of brothers while marching at night, and even took their bodies away?"
They were all left in the dense forest.”
"What do you know?" Zhang Lingfu turned around and glared at the staff officer, "If you are marching at night in the plains, there is naturally no danger, but marching at night in dense forests, especially in primitive tropical jungles like southern Xinjiang, is not dangerous.
But it is a first-class danger. If you are asked to lead a battalion to march in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang, you can lead a platoon during the day. Even if you have the ability, there are tigers and leopards there, not to mention venomous snakes and poisonous insects.
Let an unprepared regiment be completely wiped out. Moreover, these brothers of the mountain division still went through three days of rapid march. If time was not urgent, they would not have climbed through those dense forests at night. Those brothers were all honored to support us.
"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and get the troops off the plane, get the runway out of the way and prepare to meet the Mountain Division's follow-up troops."
More and more Giant transport planes landed at the airport. By evening, Zhang Lingfu's 1st Airborne Division and the 77th Mountain Division had all been delivered to Dien Bien Phu by transport planes.
After being captured, Major General Wimble also knew that the situation was over. Although this Gallic chicken was proud, he was not a fool. He knew that if he wanted to rely on the more than a thousand French troops in Dien Bien Phu to resist these tiger and wolf troops, it would be no more than an egg.
There was no need for Zhang Lingfu to say nonsense, so he quickly called Major Pierre in the city and ordered all French troops in Dien Bien Phu to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Chinese National Defense Forces.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Lingfu immediately sent a victory telegram to the Ministry of National Defense: "Zhang Lingfu, commander of the 1st Airborne Division of the Ministry of National Defense, reported to Commander Chiang Kai-shek and President Su of the Ministry of National Defense that the first phase of the Annan Plan has been successfully completed, and the 1st Airborne Division and the 77th Mountain Infantry Division have
Dien Bien Phu has been successfully captured, and a total of 1,257 French officers and soldiers, including French Major General Wimble, have been captured. Twelve aircraft, more than 3,500 rifles, and 78 machine guns have been seized.
Come on, twenty-six tanks, five thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven tons of food and military supplies, a special victory."
"Okay" Su Tong excitedly slapped the table, "Zhang Lingfu did a great job. Dien Bien Phu was captured in one fell swoop. As long as we capture Saigon, the whole of Vietnam will fall into our hands."
In the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, Jiang Baili, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren and other senior generals and political officials gathered together. Everyone was very excited that the first phase of the "Annan Plan" could be successfully completed. As long as Vietnam is occupied, the entire southern Xinjiang will be destroyed.
The field will be expanded by half.
"Okay, don't just be happy, let's discuss how to deal with the Vietnam problem first." Jiang Baili looked at the excited expressions of the participants and said with a smile, "Now there are two voices at our senior levels. One is
The other option is to completely annex Vietnam, and the other is to transfer the area north of Hanoi to China and establish another province. What do you think?"
Although Jiang Baili asked everyone's opinion, his eyes turned to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, because among the people present, the two most familiar with things in southern Xinjiang were these two big bosses of the Guangxi clan.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi looked at each other, and then a smile appeared on their gentle and honest faces, "In this case, I will show my shame first. Vietnam has been a vassal state and vassal state of our country since ancient times, and it was even our country's territory during the Tang Dynasty, so
Some people say that all Vietnamese territory should be transferred to our country. This is understandable, but everyone should also see the disadvantages brought by transferring Vietnam to our country. Vietnam is a hilly area with high mountains and dense forests. Since the early 1930s, Vietnam has
This has set off a trend of reading. If our country now rashly declares that Vietnam will be included in our territory, it will definitely cause a big stir in the world, and those Vietnamese will definitely rise up and resist desperately. Therefore, I think it is better to first swallow everything.
Eat a chunk of its flesh, and wait until the time is right to take advantage of it."
Zhou Tiecheng, who was standing aside, thought for a while and asked, "Then if we immediately delimit the land north of Hanoi, it won't cause a dispute."
"It's impossible if it doesn't cause disputes." Bai Chongxi shook his head and said: "But we have to see the Vietnamese people's eagerness for reading ability. It can be said that as long as there is support and recognition from our country, Vietnam will not have the ability to read.
What's the problem? The opposite is not true. We have to figure out their mentality. If we suddenly announce that Vietnam will be included in Chinese territory, it will definitely trigger a very strong resistance among the Vietnamese. But if we only swallow a big mouthful, their resistance will be very strong.
The emotion will be much lighter. For example, if we suddenly want to rob a person of all his wealth, the desperate person will definitely fight us to the death, but if we say to him, you only need to give me one-fifth of your possessions.
If I give you money, I will let you live, then I believe that most people will not risk their lives with robbers for that fifth of money."
When Bai Chongxi said this, everyone present could not help shaking their heads and laughing. It was also difficult for Bai Chongxi. He dared to say it even if he could compare himself to a robber.
"By the way, there is one more thing that everyone should pay attention to. We must not throw away some small islands in the sea." Su Tong reminded at the side: "We must firmly control the Nansha Islands, Xisha Islands and Zhongsha Islands in our hands.
Minister Zhou, you must pay attention to this when you go to negotiate with Ho Chi Minh. These islands will be treasures in the future."
"Nansha Islands" and everyone in the assembly frowned, "Are they those small islands scattered in the sea? Those islands can neither be inhabited nor have anything of economic value. Do we also want to include them in our arms?" Bai Chongxi
asked somewhat puzzled.
Su Tong secretly sighed. It seems that these people are not aware of the economic value of these small and inconspicuous islands in the future. When he thinks of the future, these islands will be occupied by small countries one by one, but the political axes of later generations will be different.
Because he was unable to protect those small islands due to various reasons, a large amount of resources were stolen, which made Su Tong feel distressed.
"No, these islands must be placed under our name. Minister Zhou, if the Vietnamese don't agree, just tell them directly that our South China Sea Fleet has never used meat until now. I don't mind letting them go to the South China Sea to train.
." Su Tong's serious look made everyone aware of the president's determination.
Su Tong picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of tea, and continued: "Perhaps everyone is not aware of the value of these islands. I can tell you clearly that according to a report jointly given to me by several geologists some time ago,
This report shows that there are treasures buried under these small islands, and there is a large amount of oil buried under them, which is enough for our country to exploit for hundreds of years."
"What oil"
The participants' eyes turned red when they heard the word oil. With the development of China's domestic economy, the domestic oil problem has become more and more prominent. Although Su Tong ordered the exploitation of two later oil fields in Daqing and Shengli, it was only
It can only keep up with domestic consumption. Moreover, geological experts have also warned domestic leaders that if domestic oil continues to be exploited without restraint, the country will be in a situation where there will be no oil to recover in at least thirty years.
Although China has now occupied part of Siberia's territory, most of Siberia is still a barren land, and the difficulty and cost of mining are very high. Therefore, as leaders of the country, they have to prepare for a rainy day. Now when they hear Su Tong
After saying that there is a large amount of oil on the bottom of the South China Sea, everyone's eyes lit up, including Zhou Tiecheng.
Petroleum is known as the black blood of modern industry. What can't be separated from petroleum now? Without petroleum, cars would have to lie down, warships would have to break down, and planes would not be able to move. In short, if a country wants to develop without petroleum, that is
An empty talk.
"President, are you telling the truth?" Zhou Tiecheng's eyes lit up instantly.
"Of course, how could I joke about such a thing?" Su Tong said with some dissatisfaction: "Although the oil in the South China Sea is all under the sea, we have no way to extract it now, but the inability to extract it now does not mean that there will be no way in the future.
With the development of science and technology, I believe that sooner or later it will become a cornucopia for our country."
"Okay, just for the oil there, we will also take all those islands into our arms." Zhou Tiecheng slapped the table and stood up.
