Prince Rana took a deep breath. He was not sure about coming to Kuching this time.
Compared to his father, he is more sensitive to Zheng Zhi and sees it more clearly.
The current situation of Zhenla and where it will go in the future all depend on Du Fei alone, not the capital.
They had tried hard last time and found various ways, but there was no news. It was obvious that they didn't want to offend Du Fei's side for them.
Especially after Wu Ting captured Saigon, troops were constantly drawn from the Chenla front line, and the war was over.
The Nanyang intimidation troops can attack Vietnam and Guo in one go.
But the result is that the Nanyang intimidation troops not only did not move, but even allowed Wu Ting's subordinates to continue to control nearly half of Chenla's territory with a small number of troops.
On the contrary, they, the Chenla royal family, have not yet established a truly effective connection with Du Fei and the power center in Kuching.
This made him sad, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At the same time, Du Fei had learned that the prince had arrived in Kuching.
"Prince Lana?" Du Fei smiled and fiddled with the coins Chen Fangshi had just sent.
In the first half of next year, the Nanyang Federation will completely replace the original Indian shield and issue a new set of currencies.
The currency value is equivalent to the RMB.
Although this move was opposed by Subian and Surabaya, the arms could not twist the thighs. The two sides still understood each other and gave in after a few yells and some benefits.
Du Fei thought for a while and said: "I'm gone. Old Chen, please give me a reception. The standards must be high and you can give me enough face. After all, we are our old friends."
Chen Fangshi nodded, already understanding Du Fei's attitude towards the prince.
For a long time in the future, Chenla will maintain the current situation and will not easily let the original royal family go back.
…
At the other end, in the square in front of Saigon Red Church.
A grand rally was being held at this time. People were pouring in from the surrounding roads and streets, and it was packed to the rafters. Some were holding banners, and some were shouting slogans.
In the middle, there is a wooden platform set up. In half an hour, Wu Ting will appear and give a speech.
The area around the platform is heavily guarded, including guards in nearby buildings.
In a four-story building one kilometer away from here.
Wenshan stood by the window, holding a box with a sniper rifle in his hand.
The streets in Saigon are not straight and horizontal, but there is just a gap here, which can form a narrow shooting field of view between several intersecting streets.
This passage is very narrow and very secretive.
It was the shooting point that Ruan Chunning found with great effort.
Wenshan raised his hand to look at his watch, turned around, put the box on the table, and began to assemble the rifle.
After yesterday's adaptation, he already understood the temperament of this gun, and he was very confident about this distance.
Although Wu Ting was once a hero he admired, but now he chose to betray him, he could only send a bullet.
After the sniper rifle was assembled, Wenshan held it hard, with veins protruding on the back of his hand. He came to the window again with sinister eyes and placed the sniper rifle on the table inside the window.
In order to prevent being discovered, he lowered the curtains, leaving only a crack, his cheek pressed against the butt of the gun, and his eyes looked into the scope.
At this time, a sudden sound of mountain roaring and tsunami came from the direction of the gathering.
Following closely, an old man in military uniform walked onto the podium...
Wenshan took a deep breath. The target appeared in the scope, but he did not take action immediately.
He must confirm the target before pulling the trigger and wait for the greatest opportunity. He only has one chance.
Two minutes later, in the sight, the man on the rostrum turned his head this way.
Wenshan's eyes were sharp and he couldn't help but frown.
Although that person looked exactly like Wu Ting, he felt that there was something missing.
But this was just a fleeting thought. At this point, if there was no solid evidence that it was not Wu Ting, he would not be able to suspend the assassination operation.
As a tool, his feelings are completely worth mentioning.
Wenshan took a deep breath to calm down the distracting thoughts in his mind, put his finger on the trigger and started to exert force.
At the next moment, there was a gunshot!
In less than two seconds, the person standing in the middle of the stage a kilometer away fell to the ground.
The sound of gunshots was heard in the next second, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. There were already many people at the scene, but something suddenly happened, causing chaos immediately.
Fortunately, countermeasures were taken in advance. There were a large number of people on site to maintain order. After a brief period of chaos, the situation was quickly controlled and no more serious stampede occurred.
Wenshan had no expression on his face. After shooting and confirming that the target had been shot, Wenshan immediately picked up the rifle and threw it under the bed next to him.
Then leave here quickly.
Although the distance was one kilometer, he knew that there were masters around Wu Ting, and they would find this place soon after the gunshots were fired. He did not have time to calmly deal with the aftermath, and the most important thing now was to retreat.
Sure enough, less than three minutes after Wenshan left the house, a figure suddenly broke through the window from outside and broke in.
This man was wearing a military uniform, his skin was like black coal, his eyes were shining with a violent cold light, he lifted his nose and smelled, then raised his legs and kicked towards the wooden bed.
With a click, the wooden bed was shattered by force, revealing the sniper rifle thrown underneath.
The man in military uniform gritted his teeth and immediately turned around and chased after him.
At the same time, the person who was shot was sent to the hospital immediately.
In fact, he was shot in the head and died on the spot, so there was no point in sending him to the hospital.
At the same time, in Wu Ting's office.
Wu Chunsheng looked at the old man behind the desk with an angry face: "Father..."
The old man was Wu Ting, and he was very depressed at this time. Although he used a substitute, he really didn't expect that the north would assassinate him.
At the same time, I also realized that my previous attempts to maintain the status quo were too naive.
Wu Ting sighed and said, "Could it be that Yueguo can't escape the fate of one south and one north after all?"
Regarding this issue, Wu Chunsheng didn't know what to say.
After Wu Ting sighed with emotion, he became firm: "That's all, they were the first to be unkind, so don't blame me, Wu, for being unjust."
Wu Chunsheng's eyes lit up, this was what he had been waiting for all morning.
Wu Ting had been hesitating before, but was completely angered by this assassination. Since the superficial peace could not be maintained, the only solution was to use force.
Once he made up his mind, Wu Ting showed the qualities that a famous general should have, and Lei Li issued a series of orders in a calm manner.
In an instant, a huge war machine involving nearly 300,000 soldiers began to operate.
Wu Chunsheng couldn't help but his heart beat faster, and he looked excitedly at his father who was calmly deploying the phone.
A few minutes later, Wu Ting put down the phone. After making up his mind, he seemed to be more than ten years younger. He strode to the clothes rack on the wall and took off the armed belt hanging with the pistol.
Since the occupation of Saigon, Wu Ting's role has gradually changed. Although he still wears military uniforms most of the time, he no longer carries a gun with him.
Carrying a gun again has a very important symbolic meaning. He must let his subordinates see his determination.
In this battle, no matter what, there will be victory but no defeat!
"Chunsheng, please contact Kuching immediately." Wu Ting put on his armed belt familiarly and quickly ordered: "At least get a loan of 100 million yuan, and in addition..."
Having said this, Wu Ting hesitated a little, but finally gritted his teeth: "Let their air force in Chenla support our operations."
Wu Chunsheng nodded quickly. He has been responsible for dealing with Kuching.
When the cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.
In the final analysis, war is about logistics, and logistics, to put it bluntly, is money.
Moreover, what Wu Ting wanted this time was a quick victory, not a sloppy war of attrition.
Wu Chunsheng was a little worried: "Father, these two items should be fine, but..."
Wu Ting understood that his son was worried about how much price they would have to pay.
There is never a free lunch in the world.
Wu Ting was thinking about this when he didn't want to fight before. He didn't have many chips in his hand. If he really wanted to fight Hanoi, he would definitely have to cut his flesh.
But now, he was forced to have no choice but to say in a deep voice: "I can agree to any conditions they put forward."
Wu Chunsheng was stunned, he did not expect such words to come out of his father's mouth.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Wu Ting shook his head secretly. His son was considered excellent, but sometimes his reactions were still slow.
Explained: "If we lose this battle, we will completely lose our independence. From now on, we can only survive by being completely dependent on Kuching."
Wu Chunsheng nodded. He understood this. If he really wanted to do that, it wouldn't matter what conditions he agreed to now.
"If we win..." Wu Ting's eyes became more profound at this time: "If Hanoi is captured, I will go to the capital as soon as possible..."
Only then did Wu Chunsheng realize that no wonder he could agree to any conditions, because regardless of victory or defeat, these conditions were empty promises.
As long as they express their attitude and hold firm.
Huaguo not only won't criticize them harshly, but will also integrate them back into the system and even provide them with assistance to stabilize the situation.
As for the agreement with Kuching, there is no need to blatantly violate it, just say that there are real difficulties and postpone it for a while.
After a long time, it will naturally stop.
Wu Chunsheng looked at his father who had put on his armed belt. He was not tall but his back was as straight as a mountain.
Wu Ting patted his son on the shoulder, turned around and walked out.
Wu Chunsheng hurriedly followed.
The father and son went downstairs. Wu Ting had just issued a series of orders and was about to go to the military camp to personally take charge of the overall situation. This battle must be directed by him personally.
Wu Chunsheng stood at the bottom of the steps, watching the group of people get into the car and drive towards the gate of the compound.
Seeing that the motorcade had left the gate, he was ready to get on the bus and go to Kuching to negotiate.
Unexpectedly, there was a loud "bang" sound.
A big fireball suddenly exploded in the motorcade that had just left the gate, swallowing up a car in an instant.
The vehicles in front and behind were also affected, one of them was overturned directly, and several others were also staggered, and their windows were all shattered.
The next moment, the shock wave of the explosion spread out, and all the glass in the building behind Wu Chunsheng shattered instantly.
Wu Chunsheng was also overturned and fell to the ground.
He looked stunned, unaware that he was also injured. Looking at the direction of the explosion, his mind went blank and his ears buzzed.
It took him a while to come back to his senses and rush over like crazy.
Seeing the blazing fire, he let out a heart-rending cry.
When an explosion occurred, someone quickly reacted and rushed to the scene to deal with it.
Wu Chunsheng stared blankly at the scene. The car had been blown into pieces, and the people inside had no suspense at all.
…
More than an hour later, Du Fei, who was in Kuching, received the news and was also surprised.
Not long ago, he just received the news that the person shot by a sniper was just a stand-in.
I thought that Wu Ting had escaped this disaster, but I didn't expect that he had a backup plan.
Du Fei chewed his teeth, looked at the telegram in his hand again and sighed: "This Huang Tianhe actually has two brushes."
According to the intelligence currently available, the person who planned this operation was Huang Tienhe, who was in charge of internal affairs in Hanoi.
This time the situation becomes more complicated.
However, what Du Fei didn't expect was more than that.
Almost at the same time, in the ward of Hanoi Hospital, Li Zhu was sitting on the bed with a haggard face.
Even though it was his second stroke, he actually woke up again!
Originally, this was supposed to be a good thing. Li Zhu's awakening restored everything to its original state and restored balance between the north and the south.
However, as soon as Li Zhu woke up, the news he received was the death of his old enemy.
At this moment, Li Zhu felt mixed emotions. Another old comrade who fought with Ge Ming was gone, and it was his fault.
Although he had just woken up and was still very weak, he had to brace himself to cope with the current situation.
If Wu Ting is still there, he can still maintain the situation when he wakes up.
Now that something happened in Wu Ting, it is impossible for the South to just let it go. In this case, no one dares not to take revenge.
War is inevitable.
Thinking of this, Li Zhu rubbed his forehead in confusion.
There was already a disaster, food could not be supplied, and the finances were almost destroyed. How could we still fight the war?
But without fighting, Saigon would not be able to give up.
Li Zhu closed his eyes and leaned on the pillow, his thoughts confused.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that I suddenly opened my eyes and finally made up my mind. Since I couldn't succeed without fighting, I would strike first.
Without the backbone, Saigon will inevitably be in chaos. On the contrary, he still sits in Hanoi and can conquer Saigon with all his strength to reopen the situation.
But there is another variable, which is the Nanyang intimidation force stationed in Chenla.
Once these more than 200,000 elite troops intervene, the situation will be difficult to predict.
He must be quick and capture Saigon before Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng react.
In an instant, as Li Zhu woke up, orders were passed on, and Hanoi, who was originally a little confused and confused, found his direction again.
In contrast, the situation in Saigon is dire.
Saigon's authority itself was built based on Wu Ting's personal reputation, and its foundation was not solid.
Naturally, there is no problem with Wu Ting being there, but now that Wu Ting is gone, everyone has their own thoughts on what to do next.
Over the next few days, Saigon was enveloped in a depressing atmosphere.
Wu Chunsheng recovered from the initial shock and unacceptable emotions and began to deal with the aftermath.
He was also confused, what should he do next?
There was an idea in his mind that he must avenge his father.
But he had no idea how to take revenge. He was not sure what his father's powerful generals with military power were thinking.
But at this time, misfortunes never come singly, and news of sudden large-scale mobilization in the north reached Saigon.
