Volume 5 The Central South Storm Chapter 19 Request for Assistance

For Memphis, Ruan Liangyu has an indescribable feeling.

In less than half a century, Vietnam and the United States have changed from enemies to brothers who "share life and death". To this day, Nguyen Luong Ngoc is unable to erase the painful memories of his childhood, often seeing burned villages and bombed relatives in his dreams, and often hearing desolate cries for help and roaring explosions in the dead of night.

Things were unpredictable, and Nguyen Luong Ngoc had to ask for help from the executioners who blew up their homes and killed their compatriots.

After a long silence, Memphis broke the silence and said: "We have read the statement of Your Excellency the Prime Minister, although we are very sympathetic to your country's plight and will do everything we can to provide assistance to your country, but in order to propose a resolution to sanction China at the United Nations, we must present conclusive evidence. ”

Ruan Liangyu came back to his senses and said, "Your Excellency, this is the reason why I came to visit. ”

I don't know if it's Ruan Liang; The slightly London accent of English is not very standard, or the meaning of the intention is not clear, Memphis did not understand it at once.

"We can provide basic evidence, convincing evidence, and we need your country's assistance."

Memphis came to his senses and said, "In that case, I need to consult with the president, after all, I am only the ambassador to your country, and I cannot make such a big decision." ”

Big decision? Ruan Liangyu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jean is right, I hope to get a reply as soon as possible." ”

"Of course, I will report to the country early tomorrow morning and try to give you a clear answer as soon as possible." After speaking, Memphis glanced at the military attache sitting next to him.

Nguyen Liangyu has also been thinking about the military attache who wears a US Army uniform.

"We just got the latest satellite reconnaissance photos." The military attache pulled out several black-and-white photographs from the paper bag on the ground that rested on his lap. "Before and after your statement. Two heavy armored units stationed in Liuzhou and Nanning began to move south. The destination is the Chongzuo and Baise areas at the junction with your country. This evening. Two armoured units stationed in Kunming and Yuxidi left the station. It is expected to travel to the Wenshan and Honghe areas on the border with your country. ”

Ruan Liangyu frowned a few times.

"It's very clear about the offensive deployment." The military attache placed the photo on the coffee table in front of Nguyen Liangyu. "Four armoured units will be deployed in the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours. The timing of the Chinese Army's ground attack will be determined by the effect of air strikes. No surprises. The ground war will start in two to three days. ”

"Actually. The ground war has begun. ”

This. It was Memphis' turn to be surprised with the military attaché.

"We are already at war with the Chinese army in the old territory." Ruan Liangyu picked up the photo on the table, looked at it quickly, and handed it to the secretary sitting in the back. "Nong Hei has been lost, and the three infantry divisions, two armored divisions and one mechanized division that have entered Laos are fighting with the squadron, and if we cannot withdraw these troops as soon as possible, the defense of the northern region of our country will be vulnerable."

"Your country is ready to withdraw its troops from Laos?" Memphis immediately asked.

"What entered Laos was the elite unit with the strongest combat effectiveness of our army." Ruan Liangyu controlled his excitement, "China must have noticed something, so it will send troops to occupy Nong Hei, send a rapid assault force to advance towards Sangnu, and put on a posture of encircling our army." In the case of the cutting off of logistical supply routes, we can only withdraw our troops from Laos. The problem now is that if we cannot obtain accurate and timely battlefield intelligence, it will be difficult for our army to break through the encirclement. ”

Ruan Liang made the first request, which was to provide battlefield information.

Memphis and the military attache glanced at each other, and both fell silent.

Nguyen Liangyu didn't rush to speak, because Memphis was only a foreign envoy, and the military attache was most likely a CIA agent.

"We will consider this matter carefully." The military attache broke the silence and said, "Whenever possible, we will do everything we can to provide your country with battlefield intelligence." ”

Ruan Liangyu nodded and said, "If China expands the scope of the war, we need more aid." ”

This is the second request made by Ruan Liangyu on behalf of Wu Sanming.

Memphis didn't answer the question, apparently not he.

"What kind of aid is the Prime Minister talking about?"

"Assistance from all sides." Ruan Liangyu smiled slightly and said to the military attaché, "On the army side, we need to form thirty divisions of weapons and equipment, including ten armored divisions; On the naval side, we need six to ten submarines with advanced performance; In the Air Force, we need 200 to 300 advanced fighters and 10 AWACS aircraft; In addition, we need more anti-aircraft weapons and long-range suppression weapons. ”

There is no doubt that this is the lion's wide mouth.

Not to mention that Memphis buried his head and pretended not to hear, even the military attache who was "in charge" showed a look of surprise.

"If the Chinese Army dares to enter our territory, we will arm everyone who can fight, send all young and middle-aged people to the battlefield, and let China know what a people's war is!"

"But......" the military attache swallowed, "so many weapons and equipment, it will be ...... in a while"

"The most important thing is advanced fighters and AWACS, and we want to regain air supremacy."

Wu Sanming's words were raised unchanged, "Only by seizing air supremacy can we redeploy defense." If possible, we will also launch a strategic counterattack to burn the flames of war into the enemy's territory and give the enemy a taste of war! ”

The military attache seemed to think of something and nodded slightly.

"I don't know when your country will be able to give a definite answer."

"In addition to submarines, other requirements can be considered." The military attache took a breath, "We will arrange the fighter jets and early warning planes as soon as possible, and strive to deliver them to your air force within two to three days." Ambassador Memphis will arrange for your country's pilots to take our country's diplomatic plane to Changi Air Base in Singapore. It will take more time for the Army's weapons and equipment, but we will try to prepare your country's weapons. Your country can form troops in advance, conduct training, and within a month, the first fleet will arrive in your country. ”

Ruan Liangyu smiled slightly, almost sure that the military attache was not only a CIA agent, but also had a very unusual identity.

"Air defense systems and long-range suppression weapons cannot be provided to your country for the time being, because your country's military personnel have not received relevant training."

"Training can start at any time, and if the country is willing to help, we can send people to your country."

The military attache was slightly delayed and said: "This matter needs to be carefully considered, after all, this is not the same thing as aiding weapons and equipment. ”

"So, your country promised to help us fight to the end?"

"That's basically what you can say." Wu seemed to sense Ruan Liangyu's thoughts, and said, "Our country and your country have common interests in Laos, and your country is fighting a war to defend the country, and we will definitely give it our full support." ”

What are the common interests of Laos? : Liangyu was secretly shocked in his heart, and his expression also changed.

"Is Your Excellency the Prime Minister worried about anything?" The military attache saw Liangyu's expression change.

"No...... Not...... It's nothing. After noticing the military attaché's skeptical look, Ruan Liangyu changed his tone and said, "Everyone wants the war to expand, but we will not give in to any enemy." Just ......"

"Just what?" The military attache immediately asked.

Ruan Liangyu hesitated a little and said, "It's nothing, I thought of something private for a while, so I ......"

"Your Excellency is worried about your children?"

Hearing the military attaché's words, Ruan Liangyu's brows quickly jumped a few times.

"If you don't think it's safe to stay in the country, we can provide asylum. Of course, you can also send your children to other countries, such as France, and we can help you in any way we can. ”

"This ......" Ruan Liangyu suddenly understood, and said, "I still need to think about it, after all, the country is in a critical moment, and if the leader lets his children flee, it will deal a big blow to the morale of the army." ”

"It doesn't need to be made public, we can do it secretly."

"Thank you for your kindness, I will consider your suggestion." Ruan Liangyu took a long breath and said, "Last request, we hope that your country can send a group of military personnel to assist us in the war. ”

The military attache was shocked and immediately said, "Your Excellency's request, we ...... We still have to think about it. ”

"Not combatants, but commanding staff."

The military attache frowned.

"This is a high-tech modern war, and the modernization of our army is still very incomplete, so it was completely defeated in the first day of fighting. We need some commanders who understand high-tech warfare and modern tactics. ”

The military attache nodded slightly. "We will consider your request, but I can't give any immediate reply."

"I can understand, I just hope that your country will think about it."

This is almost the end of the conversation.

Through the three demands, Nguyen Luong Ngoc basically figured out the attitude of the United States. There is no problem in providing intelligence assistance and military material assistance, but the United States will not help Vietnam train technical fighters, let alone send troops to fight the war.

The question in Ruan Liangyu's heart was also answered.

The children of Wu Sanming and others must have moved abroad, most likely to the United States. Ruan Liangyu even guessed that Wu Sanming's main purpose in transferring his children to the United States was not to take refuge, but to transfer assets. "Samurai" is a well-known "red aristocrat" in Vietnam, "Mobile Phone Access Wap." from Vu Yuan Gia to Vu Sam Minh, the people before and after, at least tens of billions of dollars of wealth. The building is about to fall, and it is difficult to support it alone, Wu Sanming is ready to flee early!

Thinking of this, Ruan Liangyu felt very uncomfortable.

Leaving the embassy and on his way to Vu Thanh Minh's place of refuge, Nguyen Luong Ngoc arranged a secret mission for his personal secretary, Ho Chi Cheng: to investigate U.S. interests in Laos.

Nguyen Luong Ngoc has already sensed that this war is not as "simple" as it seems.

The United States did not support and support Vietnam for no reason, and there must be some ulterior secrets. Wu Sanming's obstinate behavior is not only for his personal and family interests, but also has a close relationship with the interests of the United States.

The clues are old, and they must be investigated!
