Beiyang reactionaries

There are not no senior generals from Hunan.

Like Tang Shengzhi, he is currently the deputy commander of the Lanzhou Military Region and concurrently the commander of the Xinjiang Military Region.There are also He Wenchang (He Long) and Wang Yuyin who are currently not low in the military ranks.But the problem is that He Jian has nothing to do with these people, so he can't do anything.

So when he heard that Li Youxun was coming, He Jian of course flattered him.Although Li Youxun is not in the army, He Jian knows that Li Youxun is from Sichuan, and how many senior officers of Sichuan origin are in the army.Moreover, Li Youxun was born in the Dian army who graduated from the lecture hall, and how many senior generals from the lecture hall are there in the army.Let’s talk about Wang Kai (Commander-in-Chief) of the Southern Group Army, that is Li Youxun’s classmate.Li Youxun and his group of classmates, the worst ones are now easily mixed up to the rank of Corps Commander.

Thinking of it this way, He Jian is of course more attentive.He Jian really didn't know that Li Youxun had nothing to do with Sichuan or the Yunnan Army.He Jian only knew that Li Youxun was a big shot.

"Commander He, this time you and I are partners. The task is not easy. Annan Province has just become our territory. The problem is that there are tens of millions of people here, so it is not easy to manage."

"Governor Li, I believe you already have a solution. If Governor Li needs anything from our 17th Corps, we will fully cooperate."

"Then I will thank Commander He first."

Li Youxun was very happy.

Li Youxun's rank is indeed high. After all, he is an alternate member of the Central Standing Committee, and he is still a relatively high-ranking alternate member.However, it has been 25 years since Li Youxun left the army, and according to the current political system in China, it is impossible for Li Youxun to intervene in the affairs of the army.And the higher the level, the more attention should be paid to this aspect.Li Youxun is an alternate member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, so he needs to be more cautious in this regard at such a level.Otherwise, it would be easy to be regarded as colluding with the army, and Li Youxun could not afford such a crime.

Not to mention Li Youxun, even Dai Kan, the prime minister of the cabinet, and Li Jishen, who also serves as the vice chairman of the military committee, they will not talk nonsense about the personnel issues of the army.Nor will they give orders to the army casually.Because the military is too sensitive.

So Li Youxun was more worried at first.

Although Li Youxun holds the Shangfang sword in his hand, he can directly contact the Supreme Committee.Even Yu Xuezhong of the Southwest Military Region and Wang Kai, commander of the Southern Army, were able to directly contact and ask for their assistance.But Li Youxun would not contact them casually.

It is not good for me to meet these high-ranking military officials frequently, and I should keep a certain distance.

So once He Jian doesn't cooperate very much, it will be really difficult for Li Youxun.After all, He Jian is not one of Li Youxun's subordinates, so there are really not many ways for Li Youxun to disobey him.It is also for this reason that Li Youxun and Duan Xun want an army of one division.You can't always ask the army for help with everything.

"Commander He, when the situation stabilizes a bit and the provincial government's personnel are replenished, the Police Department will announce a policy. That is to confiscate all guns and ammunition from the people. Except for some hunting tribes, everyone else Owning guns is not allowed. There are not many guns in Annan Province itself, but some weapons are still scattered among the people. Especially some big families still have weapons in their hands."

"Governor Li, I wonder when the provincial government will announce this policy?"

"Not more than half a month."

"Then there is no problem. The 17th Corps has already moved south in a big way, and there is already a division of troops around Hanoi. After half a month, we will deploy 200 troops within 5 kilometers from Hanoi. And outside Hanoi, We will also deploy an armored division, which the 17th Corps has just been equipped with."

The 17th Corps had been suppressing bandits before, fighting in the mountains, and its troop establishment was smaller than other corps.The troops are not equipped with many tanks, and there are no specialized tank divisions or armored divisions.However, in order to enter Annan Province this time, the Southwest Military Region allocated an armored division to the 17th Corps, with about 160 tanks.

It is not for war, but to deter some unstable elements in Annan Province.

So He Jian is going to deploy the armored division outside Hanoi.

"that would be great."

What Li Youxun wants now is stability.

The biggest worry is some riots.Li Youxun has carefully analyzed the situation in Annan Province, and the most prone to problems are the Kinh ethnic group, the main ethnic group in Vietnam.Whether it is the Viet Cong or the Viet Minh formed by the Viet Cong, their activities are mainly among the Kinh people, and their propaganda is mainly targeted at the Kinh people.There are many ethnic minorities in Annan Province. They don't have much relationship with the Viet Minh, and they don't care much about the ownership of these territories.Therefore, the most dangerous people are the Jing people.

But generally speaking, Li Youxun is not very afraid of the Jing people.

The French colonists didn't have many troops. Basically, they were colonial troops to maintain order in Vietnam. These Kinh people were also honest.After China established Annan Province this time, the army that flowed into Annan Province was a corps, with about 16 people.In terms of strength, it has far exceeded the force possessed by the French colonists.

But young people are full of enthusiasm, and it is possible to explode at any time.

What Li Youxun wants is stability, and what he wants is to rule Annan Province for a long time.If this is desired, there cannot be too much bloodshed with the Jing ethnic group, which has a population of about 700 million.

Deterrence is the best way.

"Commander He, I want to ask you one thing."

"Governor Li, it's serious. Please tell me something."

"Commander He, Hanoi is still unstable. I hope that the 17th Corps can send some troops, divide the area, and then patrol in small groups to deter all forces in Hanoi. Hanoi is not a big city, and I don't think many troops will be needed."

"no problem."

He Jian nodded.

It's not a big deal.

There are only about 30 people in Hanoi, and tens of thousands of them are overseas Chinese.No need for many troops, two or three regiments stationed in the city, usually patrolling can deter Xiaoxiao.

"Thank you Commander He."

"this is necessary."

Although the two met for the first time, they talked very speculatively.He Jian stated on the spot that he would send a brigade to Hanoi within three days to patrol Hanoi.

"How did the Viet Cong catch them?"

Annan Province has always been on the nerves of Chinese high-level officials, and it has become the most important and discussed issue among Chinese high-level officials during this period.

Not to mention other things, the conditions in Annan Province itself are very good.After all, Annan Province is in the Red River Delta region, and its natural conditions are very good.It has always been a very important food producing area, and it is directly adjacent to the sea, so its development prospects are very good.With the Annan Province, China has three places that can be vigorously developed: the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Red River Delta.In terms of geographical advantages, the Red River Delta is no worse than the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.As long as China supports the development of the Red River Delta, the Red River Delta will easily have urban agglomerations like the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta and become another economic center of China.

Of course, this is an economic consideration.

From a strategic point of view, after controlling Annan Province, it can echo with the three countries of Myanmar and the army on the other side of the Mekong River.Let China's influence in the Indochina Peninsula be greatly increased.

In addition, the control of Annan Province will also have huge benefits for China's future control of the South China Sea.

Therefore, stabilizing Annan Province is a matter that China's high-level officials attach great importance to at present.

"We took action suddenly, and none of the high-level Viet Cong on our capture list escaped, and they were all caught by us. In addition to the high-level Viet Cong, the members of the Viet Cong in our country were also wiped out this time. This is the time we On the list of members of the Viet Cong who were arrested, the top ones are members of the Central Committee of the Viet Cong. 9% of the Central Committee members of the Viet Cong were arrested by us this time.”

Police Minister Chen Tiaoyuan and Security Minister Bai Jianwu reported to the Supreme Council.

China's sudden move caught the Viet Cong completely by surprise.When the Viet Cong was in Vietnam, although there were many activities and influence, they did not dare to act casually.Because the Viet Cong’s proposition has not received the support of mainstream Vietnamese society, or the support of powerful Vietnamese factions.The activities of the Viet Cong in Vietnam were all covert activities.

The French colonists did not like the Viet Cong, it should be said that they were very hostile to the Viet Cong.The French colonists' management of Vietnam was actually not that strict. As a colony, the French colonists' management can be said to be relatively loose.But they have very strict management of the Viet Cong, or they are very vigilant against the French colonists of the Viet Cong.Because among the national liberation movement organizations in Vietnam, the Viet Cong is the most active and radical.In addition to the Viet Cong, many other national liberation organizations have not advocated fiercely and adopted relatively moderate methods.In comparison, the Viet Cong advocated radicalism, and the actions it took were even more radical.Therefore, the French colonists can be open to other organizations and institutions that call for Vietnam's independence, and are even willing to negotiate with them.But it was completely different for the Viet Cong.Members of the Viet Cong were either shot or exiled.

It was even more so when the Japanese came.

Seeing the Viet Cong, it was more severe than the suppression of the French colonists.Anyway, Japan was also the country that signed the "Anti-Comintern Pact" with China, Germany, and Italy at the beginning, and it is very hostile to the Communist International.Therefore, it took an even more repressive attitude towards the Viet Cong, a branch of the Communist International.

None of the powerful factions in Vietnam like the Viet Cong.Needless to say, like the Vietnamese royal family, it is impossible for them to like the Viet Cong.There is also the big Vietnamese family, how could those people agree with the communist ideas of the Viet Cong.Communism and their interests are in direct conflict, and the two sides are not on the same channel in terms of fundamental interests.Therefore, their defense against the Viet Cong and their suppression of the Viet Cong are even stronger than those of France and Japan.

Of course, in any society, the centrists are always the most, and Vietnam is no exception.Those centrists in Vietnam, of course, are qualified to be centrists in this era, and they are also intellectuals.Before mobilizing those peasants, the voices of the peasants were completely ignored, and no one would think that the peasants had any power.Vietnam is a poor country. Like China in history, the proportion of farmers is very high.But the Viet Cong did not mobilize farmers on a large scale. On the contrary, their work has always been in the cities.Because for the communist movement of this era, they all believed in the power of the workers, not the power of the peasants.Therefore, the centrists recruited by the Viet Cong are mainly small intellectuals.

These people are very supportive of the Viet Cong's claim of Vietnamese independence, and these educated intellectuals all want Vietnam to be independent.

But also for the communism of the Viet Cong, it is very repulsive.Therefore, although the Viet Cong has a lot of activities in Vietnam, and even has a lot of influence among young students, the situation in Vietnam is not very good.It was precisely to change this situation and unite those centrists that the Viet Cong established the Viet Minh.Using this method to first solve the situation of the Viet Cong being excluded from mainstream Vietnamese society, the effect is still good.Many centrists joined the Viet Minh and participated in the Vietnamese independence and liberation movement.

But even so, the Viet Cong did not dare to act blatantly in Vietnam.Therefore, the important institutions of the Viet Cong were placed on the original Sino-Vietnamese border, which is now the junction of Annan Province, Guangxi, and Yunnan.

Important meetings of the Viet Cong are generally held in Hong Kong or Macau.

Because China has turned a blind eye to the actions of the Viet Cong over the years.As long as the Viet Cong do not cause any major incidents in China, China will not interfere with their actions.Therefore, although the Viet Cong is very cautious, it is relatively reassuring about China.But who would have thought that the Ministry of Security and the Police Department of China would suddenly act.
