Chapter 1448 Saigon Kudieda (first update, please subscribe)
In this world, there are all kinds of conspiracies every day.
As time flies by and we are about to enter November, the streets in Saigon are still as chaotic as before!
“When I first came here a few years ago, this place was full of vitality. At that time, I thought that maybe it was really full of hope.”
But what about now?
Looking at the city outside the car window, Ke Mingliang couldn't help but sigh. The streets were now full of military police, but even so, they still couldn't stop the guerrillas' terrorist attacks. They repeatedly attacked hotels, embassies, and even attacked U.S. troops on the streets. Individual attacks.
The shadow of explosions and death has been hanging over this land in the past few years.
As a city, the development of Saigon a few years ago made everyone think that it would be the next prosperous city, but now?
This is just a city full of dangers. Perhaps, this is a paradise for adventurers, but that's all.
In this way, the car moved forward and finally stopped in front of a heavily guarded villa. This is the private residence of Yang Wenming, the special adviser to the president. After inspection by the military police, Ke Mingliang's car drove into the compound. , as soon as he got off the car, an attendant guard led him into the villa.
Unlike the stuffy heat outside the villa, the temperature inside is pleasant, and the cold wind blown by the air conditioner even makes people feel that the temperature is a little too low.
"Mr. Ke, we meet again."
As soon as Yang Wenming saw Ke Mingliang, he invited him into the study. After closing the door of the study, he looked around This person, on the surface he is an employee of the representative office, but in fact he is an intelligence officer of the investigation department.
Before this, they had had two indirect contacts and basically reached a consensus on some issues.
"Mr. Yang, I came here this time to convey a message to you. We believe that the chaotic situation here must end, and that gentleman obviously does not have such ability!"
Yang Wenming said:
“Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Ke, please rest assured that we will ensure that your interests will not be harmed in any way!”
Although there are people from the United States Guaranteed, but Yang Wenming is also worried about the intervention of Chang'an. After all, Diem has always had a very close relationship with Chang'an. In the past few years, he has been trying to win the support of Chang'an, thus diluting the influence of the United States here. .
In this case, Yang Wenming and his friends did not fail to take Chang'an into consideration.
"Chang'an believes that our goals are the same, and they are all for the chaos in Saigon to end as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Mr. Ke, you know this place very well. Under the rule of the Wu brothers, the situation in Saigon has been completely out of control. If the situation here cannot be restored as soon as possible, it will only end up benefiting the north. In the north, With support, the guerrillas will take over the entire country, and by then When the time comes, the Bamboo Curtain will fall across Southeast Asia.”
Then Yang Wenming explained his point of view—everything he did was for Saigon, for the entire country, and to free Saigon. In short, he has no selfish motives for the current chaos.
Of course, this is just like what the mistress keeps saying - I am not doing it for money, I am doing it because I love him!
Anyway, mistress!
Just listen to what he says. However, since we have decided to cooperate, we naturally cannot expose the other party's ideas.
In this way, they quickly reached a consensus, and almost an hour later, they both got the answers they wanted from each other.
After Ke Mingliang left by car, General Chen Wendun, who had never appeared, walked out of another room and asked:
"General, are they already on our side? "
"Yes."
Yang Wenming nodded, and then said:
"They are indeed on our side and will not interfere in this matter, but..."
Looking at Chen Wendun, Yang Wenming continued:
"The key to this matter is the Americans , only the support of Americans is the most important, you today Be sure to meet with the people in the United States again, and then finalize it!"
After that, Yang Wenming said to Chen Wendun:
"If it is confirmed, then we will take action! Rise up for our country!”
"Yes, General, for our country!"
At this moment, they seemed to be doing it for the responsibility they shouldered, for their country. A few minutes later, General Chen Wendon left in a car.
On the first day of November, the world is moving forward like this.
At noon on November 1st, Saigon was as usual. The streets were filled with military police. People were living as usual under the protection of the military and police.
Today seems to be no different from usual.
But soon, military vehicles and tanks arriving from outside the city broke the tranquility of the city - a large number of troops entered the city. What's going on?
The police in white police uniforms just glanced at them and did not think there was anything strange. After all, in this city, troops often come in and out, and guerrillas often They disguise themselves as civilians and enter the city to attack key targets. Therefore, the military often enters the city to perform tasks. Because of this, almost no one finds anything unusual.
But today is obviously different from the past. The number of troops entering the city from multiple directions is far greater than in the past, with tens of thousands of people. After the coup troops invaded, key areas and key points in the city were destroyed. The sector was quickly breached, captured and controlled.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, gunfire rang out in downtown Saigon. The fighting was mainly concentrated near the Presidential Palace "Gia Long Palace". When a fierce battle broke out between the rebels and the guards of the Presidential Palace, Diem asked loudly:
"What's going on? Where is the clan house?"
Wu Tingru quickly replied:
"Now we have lost contact with him! Will he also betray us?"
Even Wu Dingru knows that many people have betrayed them now, so what if his brother is engaged to the clan like father and son? Betrayal is not out of the question.
Diem frowned and said:
"No, Zongshi Ding will not betray me. Contact him immediately."
Soon, he got the news about Zongshi Ding.
"President, he is deploying special forces for military exercises outside the city."
"What! The troops are conducting exercises outside the city, this, this..."
Look Looking at the panicked brother, Diem said:
"This is not a bad thing. As long as the clan is back, we can still defeat them!"
Compared with the panic of his brothers, Diem seemed very calm. He even comforted everyone and said:
< br>“We still have the support of the United States, even if it is If the United States does not support us, I can still go to the representative office to win support from Nanyang. In short, the advantage is mine now!”
In fact, Diem himself didn’t believe it when he said this. After all, the timing of the "military exercise" was too coincidental.
At the same time, Nguyen Huu Phuc, the deputy minister in charge of security, hurried in and reported the situation to him. After learning that the rebels were about to attack the presidential palace, he immediately accepted Nguyen Huu Phuc's suggestion to escape from the president. Mansion.
Shortly after they fled the presidential palace in a car, the rebels stormed the presidential palace "Gialong Palace", but did not find the two brothers Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Nhu. Because the two Ngo Dinh Diem brothers had already fled to Xuan Na in Macau, Tang Dynasty under the arrangement of Nguyen Huu Phuc.
As soon as he saw Father Ma Guo Xuan, Diem said to Ma Guo Xuan:
"Father, now I only believe in you!"
"Mr. President, please don't worry, I will definitely I won’t let you know you’re here.”
< br>After the two people chatted briefly, Diem handed six important letters to Ma Guoxuan and asked him to burn the letters if anything unexpected happened. In the next short period of time, Diem went to At the nearby Sacred Heart Church, I prayed for a while in the church.
But he did not take the presidential car, but Ma Guoxuan's car. It can be said that at this time, President Ngo Dinh Diem was faced with this sudden change. He was abandoned by the United States and betrayed by his lover. He suffered a huge psychological blow. It is not difficult to imagine that his trust in people had already reached its lowest point.
But even so, he still believed in Father Ma Guoxuan. In times of crisis, Ma Guoxuan took Wu Tingyan in regardless of his personal safety, which was also dictated by traditional morality.
That day, the rebels took control of the entire city.
On the second day of the coup, after realizing that the situation was over, Ngo Dinh Diem negotiated with the coup leader Duong Minh on the phone and expressed his willingness to resign, but in accordance with the provisions of the law, after resignation, the vice president or the speaker of the National Assembly would take over the power. . However, Yang Wenming and others rejected Wu Tingyan's request.
Afterwards, Diem spoke to the General Staff, and the person who answered the phone was Chief of Staff Tran Van Don. The biggest result of this negotiation was that Diem surrendered unconditionally, and Chen Wendon guaranteed that the two brothers would leave Saigon safely and could go to any country. At this time, Diem had already received a guarantee from the representative office that he could be accepted into exile.
So, there is no reason to refuse anymore.
After the two sides reached a consensus, the General Staff sent General Mui You Xuan and his people to bring President Diem and his brothers back to the General Staff. There is a reason why Mui You Xuan volunteered to carry out the mission, because Mui You Xuan served as a senior police officer during the French colonial period, but after Ngo Dinh Diem came to power, he was demoted because he had served the French. level, Mei Youchun hated this.
So, he really wanted to see the former president in despair!
When Mui You Xuan's soldiers first met President Ngo Dinh Diem, they were quite polite at first. As before, they gave him a military salute and asked him to get in the car. But after getting on the bus, Mui Hu Xuan's subordinate Nguyen Van Miu, under the instruction of the general, ordered the two Ngo Dinh Diem brothers to be handcuffed in order to humiliate them as much as possible.
Despite this, the two brothers endured it. On the way to escort, Nguyen Van Miu slapped Ngo Dinh Nhu directly and said bad words to him.
As the president's younger brother and the head of the secret police, Ngo Dinh Nhu had never been so angry. He couldn't bear the humiliation and immediately rose up to resist. Two soldiers accompanying Nguyen Van Myu first stabbed him with bayonets and then beat him to death under Nguyen Van Myu's order.
Seeing that his younger brother was killed, Ngo Dinh Diem, who was furious, also clashed with the guards. At this time, the guard didn't care so much, and fired three shots at the back of Diem's neck. The powerful impact of the bullets shot through Diem's neck, and even Diem's eyes were shot out.
Ten minutes later, the generals waiting nervously at the General Staff Headquarters saw two corpses waiting for them!
