Because the matter was urgent, Commander Zhang immediately arranged a helicopter to take me directly from the Third Battalion headquarters to the Kunming Military Region Airport. There was a military transport plane waiting for me.

On the way, I contacted the Beijing Ministry of National Defense by phone. After receiving my call, Minister Liu only said one sentence: "Come back quickly, let's talk about the specific matters when you come back."

When the plane landed at Jingxi Airport, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. In a hurry, I could only call my family and the little girl separately, telling them that I had an emergency task now and that the person had arrived in Beijing. There was nothing at home. My mother and father understood this very well and repeatedly told me to be careful of safety. I thought the little girl might be dissatisfied with the call and would get angry. After all, I agreed to play with her this time when I came home, but it turned out like this. But when I called the phone with a nervous mood and told her the whole story, the little girl's performance was surprisingly good. Like my parents, she also reminded me for a long time. But at the end, she added: "Husband, I'll wait for you to come back to accompany me!"

The Office of the Military Commission of the Great Hall of the People was brightly lit. The Chairman, Prime Minister, the Ministry of Defense and several leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were all present and saw me hurriedly walking in. The Chairman nodded and signaled to Chen Guangtian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs next to him to start the meeting.

"Last night, a military coup suddenly broke out in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia." The young foreign minister stood up and said, "The opposition armed forces led by MP Salansi have controlled the entire city with the forces of two divisions. Cambodia's King Sikamoni and his family have been under house arrest. The coup armed forces acted very quickly. Half an hour after the battle began, they had completely controlled the palace and the state television station. Because the opposition persuaded several senior generals of the border garrison in advance, they had also persuaded the opposition in advance to persuade several senior generals of the border garrison troops in advance.

The one who entered the coup was not too hindered from controlling the situation in the capital. During the coup, Cambodian National Assembly Senate Speaker Xie Xin and government Prime Minister Hun Sen were shot dead on the spot. However, members of the royal family were not injured. Cambodian former King Sihanouk happened to welcome members of the Lao Kingdom delegation at Phnom Penh International Airport when the coup began. Therefore, he was able to escape the rebel search and flew to our country to apply for political asylum. He has now arrived in Beijing."

Chen Guangtian stopped here and turned his attention to the military attendees: "The coup army issued a telegram, claiming that it had abolished the current king of Cambodia, and the state political system was changed to a democracy, and Salassi became the first president. Half an hour after the news was released, Vietnam announced that it would recognize Salassi's new presidential status. At the same time, it sent troops to Cambodia to help the new government restore national order. As of 19 pm this afternoon, Vietnam had sent a total of 8 divisions of troops into the border of Cambodia."

"At noon today, I met with the former Cambodian king Sikanuk who applied for asylum," the chairman in the conference room said at this time: "He begged the Chinese government to send troops to help him restore the national political situation. What do you think about this matter?"

"What coup? What country's reform? It's all nonsense. I think this is clearly the Vietnamese idea of ​​Cambodia's 1978. But compared to the last time, they had more puppet Salansi as an insider. This would give them an excuse to send troops openly." Minister Liu said angrily.

Foreign Minister Chen Guangtian sighed: "On the day of the coup, our embassy in Cambodia called on both Vietnam and Cambodia to give up the use of force and ensure the safety of the royal family members. They will send all the information on the coup back to China as soon as possible. This morning, we have obtained the consent of His Highness Prince Sikanuk and sent it to the UN Security Council for deliberation."

"Detective? Humph! After they finish deliberation, Cambodia will have been annexed by Vietnam." Minister Liu said hatefully.

"The United Nations review will take at least one week, which is enough for Vietnamese people to do a lot of things." The Chairman said with a stern expression: "Cambodia has always been our friendly neighbor, and Prince Sikanuk has also been our old friend for many years. Since the age of Chairman *, this old man has been our VIP guest. Seeing that his friend is in trouble but he doesn't reach out to pull it. This is not the style of us Chinese."

"Yes, we should send troops." The Prime Minister took over the remarks: "The Kingdom of Cambodia was the first country in Asia to implement neutral policies, and we have cooperated very well in bilateral trade relations. Prince Sikanuk has also been working hard to build Cambodia into a permanent neutral country in Asia. This situation is extremely beneficial to us, and we must not let other countries destroy this situation."

"Just do it like this!" The chairman said sternly: "Based on the First Division of Longya, select a special rescue team and rescue the trapped royal family members from the coup. Notify us of the Embassy in Hanoi and ask them to tell Vietnamese Chairman Nguyen Deliang to prohibit him from interfering in the Cambodia issue. Those troops that have entered Cambodia must be returned to Vietnam within a week. Otherwise, don't blame us for being unkind."

"Are such diplomatic rhetoric too harsh?" Facing the chairman's anger, Minister Chen said hesitantly: "After all, this is a formal dialogue between the two countries!"

"To treat Vietnamese people, you must be strict." Minister Liu explained: "If you don't suppress him first, he will bite you back. In the past, we paid a lot of money for this. Just do this. The Ministry of National Defense will also order the border defense forces of Yunnan and Guangxi provinces to make all combat preparations. If necessary, we will take the initiative."

After the meeting, the Chairman kept me and took me to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to meet this old man who had been fighting for his country all his life.

In the closed "Red Flag" car, the Chairman talked to me about the issue of this rescue operation. "How confident are you in this battle?"

"I have 100% certainty to use all the technical weapons we have in our hands. I am absolutely confident about this aspect, but I am a little bit unable to guess what Chairman you think. Are you really going to go to war with the Vietnamese?" I couldn't help but express my own questions.

"Haha! I knew you would ask this." Looking at me, the Chairman smiled slightly: "Although I didn't speak at the meeting, you will definitely say it privately. Our country's energy conversion policy has not been fully in place, the economic power has not met the expected requirements, the overall national defense force is still undergoing relevant training, and the overall awareness of the people has not evolved to the high degree of democracy we need. At this time, it is no less than self-discipline. Am I right?"

"That's it, I think so." These words were too direct, so I had to nod honestly.

"Xiao Zhao! The questions you think are not wrong. These problems are our weaknesses at present." The Chairman continued: "But you have missed a little bit, that is morale."

"Moranience?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "Where does this start?"

"Some time ago, we obtained a large amount of oil resources, successfully disrupted part of the economy of Southeast Asia, and took the most critical step in reviving China - batteries. These are news that are enough to cheer up the people of the whole country. However, under the current international situation, we cannot publish these news at all. Because in that case, we will face a large number of enemies and may even directly trigger the Third World War. At our current level, we will never give up and fear war. But you also know that the outbreak of war now has no benefit to us. So we can only endure, endure, and endure. A nation can only burst out with a strong national centripetal force when it is bullied by foreign races.

and cohesion. From this perspective, we need a war, a war that will excite the people of the whole country. The scale of this war should not be too large, it is best to be a local war. In this way, we can achieve our goals and to some extent shock our hidden enemies. Moreover, the current international situation is very beneficial to us. The Americans will not blame this military operation due to the pressure we put on energy. Japan also has no time to be a clone due to domestic economic and energy issues. Russia is our largest arms trading partner, and will not do anything to offend our customers. The countries around us are also busy rectifying their own economy. So, this is our best time."

"So, according to your opinion, what kind of scope should this war be controlled more appropriate?" In addition to admiration, I asked a new question.

"The size should be about four armies," said the chairman slowly: "But the training progress of each army cannot be slowed down. I mean, it is best to use Mr. Deng's decisions that year as the benchmark for action to allow each army to participate in rotational battles. However, one thing is that the latest weapons and equipment are absolutely not allowed to appear on the battlefield. That is our future killer Jian, and we cannot leak secrets."

While talking, the electric car had already entered the gate of the State Guesthouse and stopped in front of a quiet building.

Knocking on the door of the heavily guarded room, an old man with gray hair appeared in front of us. This is the former Cambodian king, Speaker of the National Assembly, Chairman of the Simbic Party, Norovine Sikanuk.

"Dear Mr. Chairman, thanks to your care, I live well here." The old king said emotionally as soon as he met: "But I ask you, my eternal friend, to ask you to help us and drive the invaders out of our homes."

"Yes, we will definitely do it. You are an old friend of the Chinese people. Even if you don't say such a request, we will do this." The Chairman answered firmly, holding the old man's hand.

"My country is a neutral country. I have been working hard to build it into an eternal neutral country. We think Switzerland's neutral policy is very good, and we hope to become Switzerland in Asia." When talking about our country, the old man was excited: "In the distant past, our country was a very powerful, very prosperous, and very developed country. That is the Khmer dynasty, whose landmark buildings are Angkor Wat and some other temples. At that time, our monarch devoted himself to the country.

Development plans. So if you go to Angkor Wat and other areas, you will see huge reservoirs and canals, and you can feel that the agriculture at that time had entered the ranks of advanced and developed, very modern. Even when the French colonists arrived in the 19th century, they had to admit that the economic construction made by the Khmer people, the Khmer Kingdom and the Khmer monarchs in the Angkor era was very developed. Therefore, I must do my best to work with my people to catch up with and surpass our kings, our ancestors."

"However, the Cambodian people have suffered a lot from the war in the past 100 years!" The Chairman said with deep emotion.

"Yes! We are a small country." Speaking of this, the old man's vision was a little dim: "One of the reasons why Cambodia suffered chaos and suffering was that our geographical location was between Thailand and Vietnam. Since the glorious period of the Angkor Dynasty, we have clashed with others. We were imperialists at that time. Because of our imperialism, we made mistakes and were too ambitious. We implemented colonial rule over Thailand, Vietnam, and parts of Laos, and the result was that it aroused the colonial rule of Thailand.

The people of Vietnam and others revolt and resisted, and they began to retaliate. We had to withdraw from their country and become a smaller and smaller country. Secondly, the interference of foreign forces in Cambodia's internal affairs and internal life has led to conflicts in Cambodia. They only consider their own interests, strategic, economic, and consciousness fields. This is also the reason for this situation today. Therefore, I sincerely ask Chinese friends again to help us drive away the invaders and restore our homeland."

"Just drive away, that's not enough." The Chairman smiled: "Without his own powerful defense armed forces, the greedy jackals will make a comeback again. Therefore, after consultation and decision by our government, we will help you build a powerful army that belongs entirely to you and is completely loyal to the Cambodian royal family."

"Are you saying true?" Prince Sikanuk asked anxiously.

"It's true." The Chairman replied affirmatively: "At present, we have urgently allocated a batch of weapons and equipment from various troops, preparing to provide it to your Cambodian government army loyal to Prince Sihanouk. Although the weapons are a little older, the quality is very good. There are also many quantities, enough to equip three infantry divisions and one tank armored division. In terms of the air force, we have first allocated 100 aircraft to support your country. You can use these things at any time as long as you want."

"It's better to be a Chinese comrade, or to be a Chinese comrade." Prince Sikanuk murmured in tears.

"We have decided to send the first rescue troops tomorrow," the Lord comforted the excited old man a little, and the Chairman pointed at me and introduced: "They will rescue your family from the coup rebels. General Zhao Lun is the commander of the rescue troops."

Hearing this, the old man turned his body to me and looked at it carefully. He tried his best to take off a diamond ring with blue light from the ring finger of his left hand and said, "This is the ring from my wife Monile and I when we got married decades ago. It is also my youngest son, the current Cambodian king Norovin Sica Moni, the most admired item. I ask you to bring this ring to him. Tell him that you must not want the invaders to bow your head, as there has never been a king in Cambodia's history."

In the suburbs of Beijing, the first division of Longya is stationed.

Two huge spacecraft had been parked on the spacious training ground, with the cabin doors at the rear of the spacecraft wide open, and batches of fully armed and light paratroopers fighting vehicles were neatly entering inside. The helicopter I was riding descended on the apron as the attention of many soldiers.

"Teacher Commander, you're back." As soon as I got off the plane, Wang Jianqiang and Feng Feng caught me: "Why do you want to get us some useless chariots in this combat mission? Why don't you take our mobile armor out?"

"Where is Li Hao? I will find him to the division headquarters for a meeting immediately." I glanced at Wang Jianqiang with an angry face and said to Feng Feng next to me: "Also, I will immediately notify the Land Aviation Brigade and all the lieutenant-level and above officers in the Logistics Support Battalion to hold a meeting together."

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered in the conference room of the division headquarters.

Facing the following dozens of eyes, I first read out the combat orders and relevant instructions issued by the Military Commission. At the same time, I explained that due to the special nature of this mission, I cannot carry any mobile armor to participate in the mission, and can only be armed with ordinary weapons.

"Considering that this combat mission is highly technical and has a small combat area, this operation will be mainly composed of the Army Aviation Brigade and Logistics Support Battalion. Other regiments will continue to have their original training plans." I continued: "The combat troops will be led by Chief of Staff Li Hao and me. Deputy Commander Wang Jianqiang and Deputy Chief of Staff Feng Feng will continue to preside over the daily work of the division."

Before I could finish my words, Wang Jianqiang shouted: "I object, you, commander..."

"The opposition is invalid," I continued, without even taking care of him, "Because the incident happened suddenly and the situation was urgent, the combat plan was formulated by the Operations Department of the Military Commission overnight. Therefore, we only have two hours to understand and familiarize it. Below, I will send the information device for the operation mission to everyone and explain it. Deputy Commander Wang and Deputy Chief of Staff Feng, you are responsible for transporting the various technical weapons required for the operation onto the spacecraft within two hours, and you are also responsible for sorting out all the soldiers participating in the war. "

Wang Jianqiang originally wanted to yell a few words, not letting him participate in the war was sadder than killing him. But under my stern eyes, he obediently walked out of the division headquarters conference room with Feng Feng.
Chapter completed!
