Chapter 591 Are You Here For A Signing or A Date

……

The largest port city in Funan, Hanouk Port, is only more than 200 kilometers away from the capital, Bainang. Therefore, on January 1, after the armed forces of Prince Hanouk’s faction took control of this strategic location, the Battle of Bainang was already imminent. very close.

After the initial failure, the Annan Navy still did not give up the idea of ​​harassing Hanoukville Port. It tried several times to break through the blockade starting from Phu Quoc Island in a more subtle way.

Since you are poor and poor, then I will be ruthless.

Lu Xiaohu commanded a luxurious fleet to use missiles, causing Saigon, the largest city in southern Annan, to issue air raid alerts every day from late January.

The meaning of this move is very obvious: today is different from the past, don't think that I can't do anything about your homeland, if you play that rogue trick again, everyone will be completely smashed!

As the party with the most destructive power, it is always the easiest to obtain deterrence, and the Funan naval battle has entered a state of confrontation again.

On land, the combat troops assembled in Hanoukville, with the armored force as the core and the guerrillas as the guide, started to march towards Bainang in February. They fought steadily, and within a week they came to the city and tried to attract Annan and his puppet regime. army decisive battle.

Funan, with a land area of ​​just over 18 square kilometers, has experienced years of war and turmoil. It can be described as poor and weak. This makes Bainang, which was called the "Pearl of Asia" by the West before the 1960s, irreplaceable.

Therefore, the goal of the armed forces of Prince Hanouk's faction is to take the capital before the rainy season; but once Annan loses his bag, it means that the occupation of Funan for many years will come to naught.

As a result, the two sides that could not retreat, from the moment they received the fire, did not hesitate to put their opponents to death.

In 1975, the reason why the United States completely retreated from Bai Nang was not because this place was not worth the cost it paid.If you change to Iraq, try it?
Now that Tang Huan has invested, he must manage enough in all aspects to feed him well, and thus create a de facto ultra-luxury "multinational army" with only one mission, and that is to fight hard and strive for success in one battle.

The small Battle of Hundred Bags seemed to have the appearance of the Gulf War a few years later in the original time and space, and a series of expensive fireworks bloomed.

This time, the ancient city of Bainang suffered a catastrophe—those who did it had no scruples, and those who were heartbroken could not speak—it was completely bathed by the flames of war.

……

The Iran-Iraq war, which has entered the stage of attrition, is inevitably boring. Fortunately, Funan, which was suddenly turbulent at the beginning of this year, successfully took over, attracting the attention of the Western media, and war reporters rushed here.

In the past, even if they were interested, there was no effective channel to obtain first-hand information; but now the situation is different, Hanouk Port has opened the door to reception.

Not surprisingly, of all the outlets, CNN and Media Asia reporters had the most access.But it also has to follow the same rules, the battlefield news can be delayed for at least one week before it can be sent out.

Of course, the reporters would not do so obediently, racking their brains to send the "precious" first-hand information back to the owner.

In this way, ordinary audiences in this era have the opportunity to witness a [-]% just war.

With the support of tyrannical power, Dayi's right to speak began to be infinitely improved.

The brutality of Annan's army's invasion a few years ago has not been forgotten, coupled with the huge publicity effect caused by Prince Hanouk's letter to his compatriots and the amnesty order, the undercurrent surged inside the bag, and the defensive gaps became wider and wider.

In the original time and space, Prince Hanouk had political appeal but no military strength; now, the pen and the gun are perfectly merged, and his faction is becoming more and more powerful. In Funan, there are many responders. Invincible.

In the end, on March 1985, 3, the Annan army, which suffered heavy losses, actually broke away from the White Nang theater, leaving behind the ruins and broken tiles jointly created by the two sides.

Looking at the capital that has almost become a blank land, Prince Hanouk's faction is full of complaints, thinking that Han Anyuan's offensive is a bit too hasty, and maybe he can win a chance for peaceful liberation, and then he can protect this place to the greatest extent. It's an ancient city.

During the meeting with Tang Huan, Prince Ranariddh implicitly raised this point, with a regretful expression on his face.

The other party came to New York this time for the purpose of Funan's representative qualification in the United Nations.

Although the puppet regime supported by Annan was recognized by the Eastern European bloc headed by the Soviet Union, the United Nations refused to agree. However, because they had no cards in their hands to counter it, they had to default to the Cambodian people.

Now that the armed forces of Prince Hanouk have seized the capital, the United Nations can't wait to transfer the representative qualifications over. The other two forces can only stare blankly at them completely losing their orthodox international voice, but this is the general trend. Resistance is futile.

After listening to the other party, Tang Huan slowly said: "The property is gone, I can find it again; but the war opportunity is fleeting, and the casualties are irreversible consumption. Once lost, the prince may not have a chance to return." This five-star hotel met me. Do you think so?"

Infighting is everywhere, and Tang Huancai would not pay attention to such hypocrisy. The group of adventurers who are willing to throw their heads and blood in Funan are the most precious resources—the sword during the war, and the seeds after the war.Even if he lost even a little bit, his heart ached.

Besides, the white sac was destroyed by the flames of war, and it was not his own fault. Annan's side was also relentless, and he had the ability to find them.

It is wishful thinking to want to win a moral high ground in the internal struggle in this way.

Hearing the clang in Tang Huan's tone, Prince Ranariddh, who was originally the one who was probing, immediately laughed, and followed Tang Huan's meaning and said, "Yes, Tang sees it through."

In the final analysis, infighting must also have winks.The military strength of Prince Hanouk's faction, from being unable to support the wall with mud before, to being able to compete head-on with Annan now, relies on the combination of the richest man, Mr. Tang Huan, and the son-in-law of Funan, Han Anyuan.

The two sides started the story tacitly, skipping this meaningless topic and talking about other aspects of Funan.

The next military goal is to wipe out the remnants of major cities around Tonle Sap Lake, such as Battambang, Pusa, Siem Reap, Kampong Thong, and Kampong Chhnang, and drive Annan's army to the east and southeast of Funan and Annan. department.

With the momentum of great victory already established, Annan, whose national strength is empty, can't afford to be poor even if he wants to regain his position.

The really thorny issue is the development of the domestic political situation in Funan, which has begun to become the main contradiction:

After the restoration of the country, how to set up the power structure next?

The special amnesty issued by Prince Hanouk has a very significant effect, but how to deal with specific issues in detail?
The Cambodian people are not tolerated by the international community, but in fact, they have entangled relations with many parties, including Prince Hanouk, which is really a hot potato that is difficult to handle.

……

After Tang Huan listened calmly for a long time, he opened his mouth to test the views of Funan natives like Prince Ranariddh on Hanoukville becoming a special administrative region.This is one of his return on investment, of course keep an eye on it.

"Developing the economy is an important task after the war. The establishment of a special zone should be a good idea." Prince Ranariddh's attitude is very clear.

……

Princes are always pampered. Tang Huan arranged a rich nest for Ranariddh, let him handle those face-saving affairs, and then continued to shuttle between various high-level social places.

Among all the people who met, the President of the World Bank, Alden Clausen, and the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Jacques Dezin, were the most important.

Tang Huan didn't want to discuss anything with the other party right away, but made a stand in the front so that he could transfer these resources to his uncle Han Anyuan, so as to further increase the prestige of the son-in-law in Funan.

As long as he holds his guns and wallets firmly, Tang Huan will have a solid foundation for returns on his investment in Funan—the land of 18 square kilometers and a population of more than 600 million are said to be enough for him to make a lot of fuss.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Tang Huan had to go to Harvard University to participate in the signing event of "The Fantastic Journey of Chanwu Youth" according to the arrangement of Sterling Publishing House.

Coincidentally, his company has been recruiting on a large scale recently, so he can take a look at the results at the right time.

Tang Huan increasingly needs subordinates who are proficient in multiple foreign languages ​​to help him deal with the increasing number of documents. For the people around him, he prefers to start training from graduates. He hopes that this time the human resources department can send a few more good seedlings that can be cultivated.

After giving a short speech, Tang Huan, the richest man, began to work as a coolie, signing autographs in the same way. Fortunately, there are seductive chicks who show their admiration from time to time, so it won't be too boring.

"Thank you, just write 'for Masako Wada'." A crisp female voice came into his ears, and although Tang Huan lowered his head, he knew that the chick was coming again.

"Thank you for reading my book." Tang Huan said casually while signing according to the other party's request.

When he raised his head, he couldn't help but ask in Japanese with a smile, "A girl from Japan who came to Harvard to study for a degree?"

"Yes, I graduated in June this year." Masako Wada nodded. She seemed to have a cheerful personality, with a different kind of vitality in her elegance and tranquility, which was quite different from the perception of ordinary Japanese girls to Tang Huan.

"What are your plans after graduation?" Tang Huan pressed the book calmly, and continued to ask, "Go back to Japan, or find a job here in the United States?"

"It should be back to Japan." Masako Wada sensed that Tang Huan's attitude towards herself seemed to be different from others. Immediately, she couldn't help but feel a little bit nervous, so she subconsciously went to get the book, but she didn't twitch.

"What about after returning to Japan?" Tang Huan smiled slightly, "I also often go to Japan, maybe we have a chance to meet again."

The two of them talked back and forth for such a long time, not only did the assistant next to him show a strange expression, but even the people behind him also noticed something unusual.

Some of the young people whistled for fear of causing chaos, and even simply booed: "Tang, are you here to sign a sale, or to date?"

Wada Masako showed embarrassment, and quickly whispered: "Have you signed the contract?"

Tang Huan laughed and picked up the book, "Masako, we hit it off right away, how about having a meal together?"

Hetian Masako took back her book with great force, said "thank you" noncommittally, turned around and left, Tang Huan hurriedly got up and followed, leaving other people at the signing meeting to wait and discuss.

……

In an elegant restaurant, Masako Hetian, who was sitting opposite Tang Huan, laughed softly, "Isn't that good?"

"It's okay, I can find a way to make up for the rest of the book fans, but if Masako and Masako meet in the vast crowd and forget each other, then I can't make up for this regret." Tang Huan waved his hand freely , Frankly thinking in the heart, let Masako Wada secretly feel a sense of pride in being valued.

Seeing Masako Wada bowing her head shyly and refusing to speak, Tang Huan thoughtfully skipped the topic and started discussing with the other party about ordering dishes.

During the chat, Tang Huan continued the topic at the previous signing meeting, "Masako, you haven't answered me yet, what are your plans when you return to Japan?"

"It should be to apply for civil servants." Wada Masako replied with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

"What major is Masako studying at Harvard?" Tang Huan handed the menu to the waiter.

"Mathematical economics is a theory that uses mathematical models to conduct economic analysis and explain economic phenomena." Speaking of this, Wada Masako said with a smile: "You may be more proficient in this field."

"Why is there such an inference?" Tang Huan asked with interest while pouring juice for the other party.

"Aren't you the first inventor of spreadsheet software? I'm writing my graduation thesis, and I use your company's computers and software to process the collected economic data a lot of the time. It's very easy to use, so I guess you are familiar with this Territory." Wada Masako bit the straw and replied playfully.

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, "Which aspect is your thesis about?"

"The study of the impact of the oil crisis on the Japanese economy since the 1970s is called "The Impact of External Environmental Adjustments on Japan's Oil Trade Import Prices."

Speaking of this, Wada Masako asked flickeringly, "Why don't you give me some references."

"Then I have to ask first, who is your instructor, so that I won't make too much of a joke." Tang Huan is also not humble, and is ready to be an example to others.

"My advisor is Jeffrey Sachs——Professor Jeffrey Sachs. In addition, whenever I have the opportunity, I also consult with Ezra Vogel——Professor ****." When Masako Wada answered, her face was full of confidence. color.

"Oh, they are all famous people." Tang Huan shook his head and laughed.

Jeffrey Sachs is the American economist who proposed the famous "shock therapy". If the historical development follows, he will soon offer advice to Bolivia and help it out of the economic crisis.

**** is a well-known Japan and China hand. The book he released in 1979 - "Japan First: Enlightenment to the United States" caused quite a stir.

"Okay, then I'll chat casually." Teacher Tang said thoughtfully.
