Hon Ki County is a small county near the sea in the northeastern part of Vietnam. It is not famous and has no specialties. However, after the start of the North Vietnam War, everything changed here and it became prosperous.
Since the headquarters was established here, the Hainan Army has been on high alert, and the streets are constantly patrolled by soldiers carrying rifles. This phenomenon has minimized the chances of crime, theft, and robbery in Hongji County.
After all, there is no blind bastard who wants to offend the Hainan Army. After all, all those blind men have been thrown into prison by the Hainan Army.
These murderous gods beat the French, whom they thought were superior in the past, to the point of losing their temper. After weighing their own weight, they immediately pretended to be "good citizens".
With the Hainan Army, a large number of military personnel or government workers entered Hongji County, and there was a huge demand for all kinds of supplies. This also made small business operators near Hongji County make a fortune. Hongji County presented
There was prosperity.
There is no shortage of profit-seeking businessmen anywhere in the world, and the same is true in Vietnam. For them, as long as there is profit, they dare to make a deal with the devil. In short, no one will think that they have little money.
After businessmen in Vietnam made a sum of money, they no longer were content with the status quo and wanted to make more money. But before they wanted to make more money, they had to look at the thoughts of the Hainan military government that wielded force.
If the military government does not agree, they are doomed to be in vain, so recently a large group of businessmen queued up outside Hainan Military Gate, wanting to see Li Weidong.
As the saying goes, if there is demand, there will be a market. Li Weidong also did not expect that the Nanyang Trading Group Company, which was originally formed to win over the Hainan Island Capital Group, would burst into life with this war.
As the manager, Zhang Qishan saw the opportunity and put a large number of cheap civilian supplies into the Hongji market, which were then circulated by Vietnamese businessmen, impacting Vietnam's traditional economic model.
When the industrial capital economy impacts Vietnam's traditional economy, causing Vietnam's small-scale peasant economic model to go bankrupt, a large number of Vietnamese residents will become unemployed and bankrupt, creating a large amount of idle labor.
Under the arrangement of the military government, these laborers can enter various factories or develop mining industries and engage in heavy labor work. This will be very beneficial to the control of the Hainan military government and accelerate the development of the Hainan consortium.
Li Weidong is now wearing casual clothes and walking around the streets of Hongji County with his adjutant Gao Yi. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The exotic streets of Hongji County give people a novel feeling.
If it weren't for Hainan Army soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time, we wouldn't even feel the atmosphere of war here.
"Ruan Wen, tell me how you view the situation in Vietnam?" Li Weidong bought a folk snack from a vendor and asked Ruan Wen who was following behind him calmly.
As soon as Li Weidong spoke, Gao Yi behind him immediately winked at the plainclothes guards around him. The plainclothes men secretly surrounded Li Weidong and Ruan Wen in a circle, alerting the surrounding people to hear their conversation.
Ruan Wen looked at Li Weidong's back in awe, but no one would have thought that this curious ordinary young man walking on the street would be the commander-in-chief of the Hainan Army who is currently in the limelight and wields great power.
"Well...it depends on what Mr. Li wants to do?" Ruan Wen is not a fool. He knows that what comes down is the most important thing, so he replied cautiously.
Ever since Ruan Wen surrendered in Gaoping County and was taken to Hongji County by Jiang Tao, he knew that he was of unknown value to the Hainan Army. Perhaps this was an opportunity.
The young man in front of him holds his life and death plans. If Li Weidong wants him to die, he will definitely not be able to live for one more second. If he wants to save his life, he can only follow Li Weidong in everything.
Hearing Ruan Wen's answer, Li Weidong nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Ruan Wen was also a smart man.
"Very good, I want to establish a North Vietnamese Republic. Are you interested in becoming the president of Vietnam?" Li Weidong said something shocking, and his words almost scared Nguyen Wen out of his wits.
Ruan Wen thought for a moment that he must be hallucinating. As the saying goes, pie falls from the sky, which should be a good thing. But this pie was so big that he felt that the whole world was crazy.
"Ah! You..., what do you want?" Ruan Wen stammered, feeling that he could hardly control his tongue.
However, Nguyen Van soon came to his senses and saw the opposite side of this matter. Being the president of Vietnam is a huge pie and a time bomb.
If he becomes this president, he will definitely be a puppet president with no real power. Not only will he secretly take orders from the Hainan military government, but he will definitely be regarded as a thorn in the side of the French and be quickly eliminated.
And if he was abandoned by the Hainan Army, he would definitely die without a burial place. This thought appeared in his mind, and he was suddenly startled and broke into a cold sweat.
Li Weidong didn't have any extra words, he said directly, just looking at Ruan Wen lightly: "Well! Do it, or not?"
Ruan Wen secretly glanced at Li Weidong's deep eyes, but almost lost his soul in them. He wanted to shirk it but didn't dare. He knew that this was the value Hainan Army valued in him. If he dared to say it but not do it, he would absolutely not be able to do it.
I can see the sun tomorrow.
Looking at Ruan Wen's tangled face, with his nose and eyebrows about to wrinkle together, Li Weidong did not continue to press and gave him time to think more.
In fact, supporting a puppet regime in Vietnam was not Li Weidong's original idea. He originally wanted to annex Vietnam, let Vietnam become the rear of the Hainan Army, and support the Hainan Army's northward fight against Japan. However, after more than a month of the North Vietnam War, he discovered a
Huge trouble.
With the current strength of the Hainan Army, it is simply unrealistic to completely occupy Vietnam. How can we get along with the Nanjing government like this? And even if we insist on doing this, Li Weidong does not have so many troops now, so Li Weidong thought of another way.
First support a puppet government, manipulate this obedient government from behind, and incorporate Vietnam into China's territory when the time is right. This will not only transfer social conflicts, but also give France a step down. It will not break with the French government, because China is currently the most vulnerable country.
The main enemy is still Japan.
After struggling for a long time, he was not afraid of being barefoot without shoes. Ruan Wen simply gave up and put the current situation behind him first, otherwise it would be a problem to continue living.
"Mr. Li! Your will is the direction I will move forward!" Ruan Wen had no choice but to compromise and show his loyalty.
Li Weidong finished the snacks in his hands, clapped his hands, and said: "Okay, it's time to go back! In a few days, I will help you find an assistant, and I will also find a few of your original subordinates! You should know how to do this
