On December 27, 1940, under the instigation of well-intentioned people, a serious anti-Chinese incident occurred in Saigon, the capital of Vietnam. Tens of thousands of Saigon's original indigenous residents began to assemble on the streets, demanding that the government cancel the residence permit
to increase the status of overseas Chinese residents in Vietnam, increase their taxation and medical education thresholds, and demand that the Chinese government return Cam Ranh Bay. When the parade reached the government office building, dozens of petition representatives submitted petitions to the government department.
.
Ho Chi Minh, Chairman of the Vietnamese Government, quickly received the petitioners in person, and solemnly stated that he would "carefully" consider the people's requests and negotiate with the Chinese Government as soon as possible. He also took a group photo with the petitioners.
With the overt and covert connivance of the Vietnamese government, the marchers became more and more proud, and the crowd of marchers grew like a snowball. By December 30, the parade in Saigon City had expanded to more than 50,000 people.
“Give us Cam Ranh Bay”
“Vietnam is Vietnam for Vietnamese”
Various slogans and slogans came one after another, and the situation in Saigon was gradually out of control. Wu Ping, the Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam, made an emergency meeting with Vietnamese Government Chairman Ho Chi Minh and solemnly made a request to Ho Chi Minh, asking the Vietnamese Government to protect the lives, property and personal lives of overseas Chinese in Vietnam.
Regarding safety, Hu stiffly stated that this issue was Vietnam’s internal affair and Vietnam would handle it on its own.
"Mr. Wu, Ho Chi Minh is clearly perfunctory with us, saying that this is Vietnam's internal affairs and we don't need to worry about it. He also said that the situation is completely under the control of the Vietnamese government. This is obviously nonsense." Coming out of the Vietnamese government office building, the resident
Li Qiang, counselor of the Vietnamese Embassy, said angrily to Wu Ping, "In my opinion, this demonstration was clearly caused by the Vietnamese themselves. They are clearly shouting "catch the thief."
Wu Ping also looked ugly. When he thought that there were tens of thousands of overseas Chinese in Saigon, he felt uneasy. The two of them got into the black car parked at the door and drove towards the embassy. In the car
Wu Ping leaned his head on the cushion of the back seat of the car, recalling Ho Chi Minh's expression when he met him just now, and let out a long sigh.
Li Qiang, who was next to him, heard Wu Ping sigh and knew the worries in his boss's heart. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Wu, the situation in Saigon is very chaotic now. We should wait for instructions from the government before negotiating with the Vietnamese government."
Wu Ping said worriedly: "The telegram was sent this morning, but there has been no reply yet, and I don't know what the president's attitude is. I also know that the government needs time to hold meetings and discussions, but time waits for no one now."
"If it doesn't work, we will send a report to the country to urge them after we go back," Li Qiang said tentatively.
Wu Ping thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, President, they always need time to plan. Besides, the Vietnamese are just rallying and marching now, so we don't want to react too strongly, otherwise we will only make people laugh."
At this time, the car drove through a street and happened to encounter a crowd of demonstrators passing by on the street. Amidst a burst of Vietnamese chattering, the car slowly passed by. The Vietnamese natives outside the car looked at the black car.
In front of the blue sky and white sun, red flags were hanging on the ground, and his eyes showed a trace of evil eyes that could not be hidden.
Looking at the eyes of the Vietnamese natives outside the car through the car window, Wu Ping's uneasy feeling became stronger. He always felt that this incident was likely to get out of control.
Su Tong, Jiang Baili, and Li Zongren of the Nanjing Presidential Palace were having a small meeting in Su Tong's office. Jiang Baili took out a telegram from a stack of telegraph newspapers in front of him and said: "Jianming, it seems that our guess is correct. This matter
Although Cam Ranh Bay was the trigger, there were shadows of the Soviets behind it. This morning, the Soviets sent another division of troops to the vicinity of Lake Baikal. Although the number is still unknown, according to the agents
Narrating, it sounds like they are coming from Turkmenistan."
"It seems that Stalin is still unwilling to be lonely and wants to put pressure on us." Su Tong said calmly.
"Also, the Ambassador to Vietnam Wu Ping called this morning and said that more than 10,000 Vietnamese have taken to the streets in Saigon to demonstrate in the past few days, and the scale of the demonstrations has become larger and larger as time goes by. He said
I suspect that someone is behind this." Jiang Baili will report next.
"Humph, we have to think about this matter in conjunction with the Soviet Union." Su Tong took out a box of cigarettes from his body and lit one.
After taking a deep breath and blowing out a smoke ring, Su Tong thought for a while and then said: "Although the gaffe in Saigon has not gotten out of control yet, we must take precautions and prepare for the demonstration in Saigon in case the locals get out of control.
To deport or kill, we must also have a response strategy or an evacuation operation."
"What, the Vietnamese will expel or even kill our overseas Chinese?" Li Zongren and Jiang Baili had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"No way, unless the Vietnamese have lost their minds, they will not do such stupid things." Li Zongren shook his head affirmatively. He did not believe that the Vietnamese leader's IQ would make such a stupid move. That is not
Digging your own grave?
"It's hard to say. Monkeys like Vietnam who have not fully evolved are sometimes very likely to do things that are incredible to us." Speaking of this, Su Tong thought of all the stupid things done by Vietnamese in later generations.
Things. For example, during the Vietnam War in the early 1980s, Vietnam was so poor that it had to ask the regiment commander for instructions to fire two 60-meter mortar shells in a row. In such an embarrassing situation, it still gritted its teeth and shouted the slogan "Fight to Yenching" and
China had been fighting for ten years, and it did not stop until the number of men in the country was reduced by one-third. This kind of stupid behavior can only be done by the Vietnamese, a country with a negative IQ of all citizens.
"Then Jianming, do you have any good ideas?" Li Zongren said with a smile.
To be honest, Li Zongren has been leading troops in Guangxi for a long time and has had many interactions with the Vietnamese. He knows a little about the surnames of the Vietnamese and knows that it is not impossible for the Vietnamese to do such a thing, so he
He asked with a smile.
Su Tong opened his mouth without hesitation and said: "In my opinion, we can go in two steps. Once we arrive, we can go to Lang Son and Dien Bien Phu to increase our troops. I think we can transfer Monk Xu's 33rd Army there.
Monk Xu’s style of leading troops is quite tough, so let him deal with the Vietnamese this time. Second, we need to put the Cam Ranh Bay base into a first-level alert state, and the entire Second Marine Division must also assemble at Cam Ranh Bay.
The aircraft carrier "Han Xin" is also gathering at Cam Ranh Bay. If things change, we can respond quickly. Now we immediately order the staff to make a contingency plan. We can't wait for things to happen before we can improvise. This will be
You will suffer a loss. Well, that’s what I mean for the time being. Mr. De and Mr. Dan Ning, do you have any different opinions or anything to add?”
Li Zongren and Jiang Baili looked at each other and smiled, and Jiang Baili said: "Jianming, you have finished what you said. Do you want us to add anything else? I think this is good. Let's arrange it according to your wishes."
On January 3, 1941, the demonstrations and marches that originally lasted for more than a week in Saigon City gradually changed. Some lawless people took advantage of the chaos and broke into the homes of overseas Chinese and began to fish in troubled waters. When the overseas Chinese went to the streets to maintain law and order,
When Vietnamese police asked for help, they received perfunctory answers or simply cold looks.
In the afternoon, those criminals who fished in troubled waters became more and more courageous, and things gradually turned into incidents of beating, smashing, and looting. When the Vietnamese police on the streets of Saigon realized that the matter was beyond their control, they hurriedly reported it to the government. After receiving the report
Ho Chi Minh quickly ordered the Saigon police to do their best to maintain law and order and not allow the disorder to spread.
But when thousands of police officers in Saigon City took to the streets to maintain law and order, they discovered that the situation had completely gotten out of control. By night, the out-of-control rally crowd of more than 50,000 people had turned into outright thugs, and they rushed into the Chinese
The shops began to vent their inner darkness and dissatisfaction during the Ping Dynasty. They rushed into Chinese shops and homes with machetes, wooden sticks and spears, and began to rob openly. When they encountered Chinese who dared to disobey, they immediately
He was directly hacked to death with one knife. Gradually, shops began to be set on fire by thugs, and raging flames began to light up the dark night sky. All this was unknown to the senior Vietnamese government officials sitting in the government office building.
In the Saigon office building, Ho Chi Minh was still holding an emergency meeting with political officials.
Ho Chi Minh said with some worry: "Comrades, the situation on the streets of Saigon has gradually gotten out of control. There have been many robberies this afternoon. This will have a very bad impact on the reputation of our country. We can no longer indulge in gaffes."
This is how it goes."
Defense Minister Vo Nguyen Giap said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Those greedy Chinese people have a lot of money, and this money was originally exploited from our citizens. There is nothing wrong with taking it back now."
At this moment, there was a "bump" sound, and the door of the conference room was pushed open suddenly. An official rushed into the conference room in a hurry, shouting in a trembling voice: "It's not good, Chairman Hu is not good." On the street, on the street
People have lost control and they are killing people and setting fires everywhere."
"What?" Everyone in the conference room was stunned. As political officials, they knew clearly that robbing things and killing people and setting fires were not the same thing. Moreover, as a mass incident, those who turned from demonstrators into thugs once saw them
If the blood is lost, it will be difficult to control the loss of control.
"Quickly, order the troops to enter the town to suppress those people and drive them away from the streets." Ho Chi Minh trembled with fear and quickly ordered Vo Nguyen Giap to send troops into the city.
