Through the window, you can see armed soldiers wandering around the Independence Palace. They are sent by Ruan Wenxin on the verge of exploding. No one knows when they will rush in. The atmosphere is so tense that even the air seems to be filled with strong gunpowder.

Now I can’t get away from it. Lansdale simply changed the relaxed topic and asked with interest, "How is Lee America doing?"
Wu Tingyan, a talented young man with a head full of ghosts, couldn’t help laughing. "He became famous and a respected musician. He took Chicago Symphony Orchestra to Europe and returned to the United States for a tour. Everywhere he went, he caused a sensation. Many people were moved and cried when he took photos of the refugees moving south.
By yesterday afternoon, more than 6 million US dollars had been raised in donations and more than 10 million US dollars worth of materials such as medicines, biscuits, milk powder and clothes were sold, and more than 10 million US dollars were sold. The American business community reached more than 7 joint venture intentions and won the sympathy of the education sector. More than 20 American universities were willing to accept scholarships and grants from Vietnamese students.
It is very promising to set up a comprehensive university to invest in land and be responsible for the construction of school buildings and campuses. Several universities in the United States sent professors to teach several educational foundations in the United States to operate funds, and some American companies donated teaching and equipment. "
It’s surprising that Lansdale smiled easily. "I know he can write songs. The most popular song" Love to Fight to Win "is that he wrote it and didn’t expect it to be as popular as America."
"The film composition is different. It’s very classic. He asked someone to bring back some records. Do you want to listen?"
Idle is also idle. Lansdale promised "of course"
Wu Tingyan seems to express his determination never to back down. He plays his favorite passionate music Exodus directly, ignoring the first few songs. The soldiers outside look at each other and wonder what the prime minister inside wants to do.
The music is great, but Ann is more important.
Lansdale looked back at the window and asked, "Why didn’t the Prime Minister order foreigners to manage the police brigade?"
"What’s the difference between the transfer of several squadrons back to Saigon and the transfer of a squadron from the brigade headquarters after the arrest of the Pingchuan faction?"
Tens of thousands of troops stationed in the urban area and around Saigon * * If Ruan Wenxin really wants to transfer, it’s really not much.
Lansdale reacted and simply returned to a topic "When is Premier Li going to come back?"
"He wants to stay in the United States for less than a month and a half. After that, he will go to Europe and Australia. So many refugees need to be resettled and raise more money. The government can relieve some pressure. Don’t say that he doesn’t know the situation in Saigon and won’t come back for a while. Even if he did, I wouldn’t let him come back."
"Are you worried about his safety?"
People do things like that themselves, but even he can guarantee that Wu Tingyan sincerely said, "Ruan Wenxin should not do anything to him, but he has to take precautions. In addition, he presided over the evacuation of refugees to the south and the US government announced that the Vietnam League has regarded him as a thorn in his side. No one can guarantee that the Vietnam League branch will not take advantage of the chaos."
I don’t know if the music started or Ruan Wenxin finally didn’t make up his mind and chatted for a while. The troops outside the independent palace miraculously withdrew.
Lansdale finally relaxed and put on his hat. "Mr. Prime Minister, the danger here is temporarily lifted. It is necessary for me to go to the General Staff to ask him what he really wants?"
Wu Tingyan also wants to know if Ruan Wenxin has the courage to get up and say, "Go and wait for your good news."
Rushed to the general staff Ruan Wenxin battle command room, the field officers came in and out, and the words kept ringing. Several staff maps didn’t know what to mark, and then the maps pointed.
Ironically, Ruan Wenxin smiled triumphantly when he saw him. "I rode my motorcycle inside and outside the independence palace just now and scared everyone away. Did you see it?"
Lansdale said in distress situation, "I didn’t see you or hear the motorcycle sound."
"Is Wu Tingyan frightened?"
"General, you really scared many people and scared many people away, but not including Prime Minister Wu Tingyan."
"True or false, he is not afraid at all?" Ruan Wenxin is skeptical.
Lansdale seriously confirmed that "the Prime Minister is very calm even if you put a gun to his chest."
Ruan Wenxin’s words and deeds are out of tune, but it is very clear that if the government is really launched, the Americans will definitely not support him, and only the French and Baoda will support this prime minister, and he will not be able to scare Wu Tingyan away without fighting.
How can I meet such a daredevil? He scratched his head and said in a vain way, "The coup will be postponed for a few days today because of insufficient preparation."

Like most hot-blooded young people, he unconsciously regarded Li Min, who presided over the evacuation of millions of refugees, as an idol. This trip to the United States and Europe made him even more eye-catching. The idol miraculously became famous in the United States. The Vatican was summoned by the Pope and Pan Hongshan was excited to be able to do things around him.
Thinking of meeting the American senator late, he said with a puzzled face, "Mr. Min, Americans are better informed than we are. That senator has heard of Ruan Wenxin and knows that Premier Wu Tingyan is in a bad situation."
It is equally important to build contacts and circle money in this tour. Every time you go to a place, you have to attend a series of cocktail parties or visit some political and business figures in person.
In his mouth, the US senator is definitely a big shot. Li Min smiled and explained that "Mr. John Kennedy is not only a devout Catholic, but also a member of the Vietnam Friends Association. Prime Minister Wu Tingyan was introduced by his Excellency when the United States sought help. It is not surprising to note the situation in Saigon."
"He knows Prime Minister Wu Tingyan?"
"knowing"
Pan Hongshan is even more confused, frowning slightly. "But … but his evaluation of Prime Minister Wu Tingyan is not high."
Unity is the established strategy of the Youth League. Su Shicai is not only the vice chairman of the Youth League, but also a member of the Vietnam Literature and Art Research Association. How can he not understand why Mr. Li is sitting and listening to Pan Hongshan as if nothing had happened?
Li Min took the coffee from Ruan Xiu and patiently explained, "He believes that Premier Wu Tingyan lacks certain qualities that a politician should have. This may be due to the cultural differences between the East and the West. As far as I know, Premier Wu Tingyan said a few words during that short meeting, and many views were stated by the representative of Bishop Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c.
Although a Catholic, he has been influenced by Confucianism, which is more restrained and implicit; One is the’ American hero’ who is afraid, likes acting very much and is very young. They can’t easily find common topics like us. "
Ruan Xiule asked curiously, "American hero?"
"Be ashamed"
Li Min took a sip of coffee and introduced, "He was born in a very prominent family, so don’t take any risks. However, during World War II, he resolutely joined the US Navy. First, he worked as a second lieutenant in office of naval intelligence’s foreign intelligence service as a courier of ordinary information.
His wish was to command a torpedo boat, which was realized in 1943. He participated in the training of Northwest University Naval Branch in Chicago and was ordered to take four boats to Jacksonville, Florida, where he was newly arranged to patrol the Panama Canal.
He didn’t want to "fall into Panama before the end of the war" and asked to be transferred to the South Pacific.
The company met his request and went to the United States and Japan to fight fiercely. Solomon Islands became a torpedo boat. The captain successively moved to Russell Islands in the southeast of New Georgia and Lombari Island in the west and went to the blackett Strait to intercept the Japanese fleet. "
"Participated in the army?"
"and excellent performance"
Li Min smiled and went on, "In a night attack, his torpedo boat was smashed into two pieces by a Japanese destroyer, and two people were killed, 11 people fell into the water, including six of him who grabbed the floating hull and rescued five other lucky people to the wreckage of the floating torpedo boat. The ship engineer was badly burned and he had to drag the engineer to resist the strong current.
In the afternoon, the wreckage of the torpedo boat floated for 9 hours, then sank his teeth and bit the injured crew’s life jacket belt. After swimming in the stormy waves for more than 5 hours, he finally swam to an island only 6 meters wide …
His courage and determination in this incident made him a headline news figure in major newspapers, and he was awarded the Purple Heart Medal, the Asia-Pacific Campaign Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, the Navy Medal, the Marine Corps Medal and many other awards worthy of the name of an American hero. "
Li Min Geng Pei was the performance of Kennedy in dealing with racial discrimination after he was elected president. He actually sent the National Guard to escort blacks to college.
Looking at the three men thoughtfully, he turned his head. "Premier Wu Tingyan may really lack some qualities that a politician should have, as Senator Kennedy thinks, but I think he can cope with the current situation. Premier Wu Tingyan can’t find the second person."
What Yu Ruan Wenxin has done is a farce. If the US government can put pressure on the French side, this problem can be easily solved, because I have enough reason to believe that all this is behind the French, otherwise he will not have the courage. "
"Mr. Min, do you think Ruan Wenxin dare not really launch a coup?"
"This law concludes, but I don’t think the US government will sit idly by."
Su Shicai trusted the judgment of the "leader" and suddenly asked, "Bishop Spelman seems to be unhappy at this time, especially when he flew from Rome to Paris. He didn’t say anything and his face was ugly. He didn’t even attend the French church reception."
"Yes, we have worked very hard and succeeded. Rome raised more than 60 thousand donations and sold 50 thousand bonds at a time."
"We really worked hard, but this trip to the Vatican was not successful, at least for your eminence."
"What do you mean?" Ruanxiu Meng reveals a puzzled expression.
Li Min put a cup on it and explained, "Your Excellency, it seems that so many Vietnamese Catholic people are in urgent need of help. The Vatican should take some substantive actions to bear some responsibilities. As a result, it is quite generous to raise $60,000 to buy bonds. It is $50,000 at one stroke, but this 50,000 will be repaid with interest in the future."
Su Shicai reacted and asked in surprise, "Is the Vatican rich?"
"The Vatican is not very rich, but very, very rich!"
Li Min touched it and said lightly, "You may not believe that the Vatican’s gold reserves ranked second in the western world at the end of World War II. Italy and many countries have huge investments and a lot of real estate. They manage amazing property for the emperor, and they are as secretive and mysterious as the emperor. Others don’t know that Bishop Spelman is disappointed and angry with the Vatican."
Ruan Xiu mused, "The U.S. government has spent more than 200 million U.S. dollars on Operation Freedom of Light, and we may have raised more than 300 million social donations. After all, Americans are generous."
"I just know, so we will work hard, work hard and strive to complete our return to China before New Year’s Day."
