The strong display of force by the Assamese army forced India to admit that it was unable to continue the fight. The India-Pakistan war was over, and East Pakistan successfully became independent. Mengda returned to Hong Kong, but was disturbed by the headache of the refugee flow.
The Cambodian civil war, the war between Vietnam and the United States, coupled with a large number of Indian refugees, Hong Kong was almost overwhelmed by the refugee flow.
Xue Yue worriedly said to the returning Meng Da: "The United Nations Refugee Agency has arranged for Hong Kong to accept refugees, and the first and second batches have already been received. However, there are more and more refugees, and the current number has reached a terrifying three hundred
Ten thousand!"
"This is a big trouble!" Meng Da scratched his head and said, "Tell the UNHCR officials that we can only accept one million refugees, and we must drive other refugees out of Hong Kong within half a month!"
Torre, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, was very sorry that Mengda was in trouble, but they were even more anxious about the inability to arrange for a large number of refugees. He lowered his head in thought and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve the problem in half a month."
"We cannot let refugees affect our development plans. Refugees are an international problem. How can a small Hong Kong bear such a heavy burden?" Meng Da is neither humble nor arrogant. He is not an unreasonable person.
Torre smiled sheepishly: "You have a place as big as Tuva and Chita. Isn't this the best source of cheap labor?"
"Hey, I can't worry about being infamous. You are right, but I am not ready to develop Tuva and Chita yet." Mengda will never take these people in. He will be responsible for his future population growth.
He must also be responsible for the people under his jurisdiction to live a happy life!
"I really can't arrange for all these people to go out for a while. So, you can temporarily arrange these people in Tuva. You don't need to pay them, and you can let them work for a living."
Mengda was frightened. Isn't this the excuse he was given? He grinned and said, "I can't do it!"
"That's right!" Torre smiled slyly and said to Mengda: "The UNHCR can issue a statement and won't embarrass you."
"Hey, you've got me!"
The transportation costs for three million refugees were not a small amount. Mengda was very helpless and had to use transport ships to transport these people to the Far East. Lu Shijie smiled at Mengda who came in person and said: "You finally decided to develop Chita
, Tuva and other places?”
For three million refugees, the food consumption for a month is an astronomical figure. Mengda said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "If we don't arrange for them to support themselves, I'm afraid all my property will be consumed by these people!"
"Hehehe, I have a good idea!" Lu Ping came over and said to her husband with a smile.
"Say it quickly!"
"Men and women are separated, men mine ores, and women can herd, farm, weave, breed and do handicrafts."
Meng Da smiled, gave Lu Ping a thumbs up and said, "Madam, this is a good idea."
There are very few children and elderly people in this group of refugees, about 800,000. What is strange is that adult women account for 1.5 million. Especially the refugees who escaped from Vietnam, most of them are orphans and widows. Follow
Torre was also slightly shocked when he arrived.
After taking the train from Vladivostok to Chita, Torre was surprised again. There are less than 3,000 people living in this beautiful city. Isn’t it a waste to build such beautiful buildings? Seeing the mouths of the UNHCR officials, Meng
Da said angrily: "This is built for the sake of my subordinates."
"Hahahaha, it is more than enough to arrange three million refugees in Amur Region, Chita, and Tuva. I should give you another one million!"
"Hey, please think of a way quickly. They must be arranged out within half a year!" Mengda will never compromise. He cannot leave these refugees who are causing chaos, let alone let his development plan be affected by their arrival.
In the era of peace, time seemed to fly by. Before we knew it, 1978 was an epoch-making turning point for the People's Republic of China. In this year, China successfully set things right, held the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, and began reforms.
The new era of opening up and socialist modernization can be said to be the year when China’s third historical drastic change occurred in the 20th century.
Of the three million refugees, hundreds of thousands moved to other countries, and some were sent back to their original home countries. However, the more than one million who remained were unwilling to leave, life or death, and became permanent residents of the Far East.
Of course, these people have also brought opportunities to the development of Chita and other places, and all work has been carried out very smoothly!
Meng Da did not expect that Vietnam not only betrayed him after Ho Chi Minh's death, but also clamored to take back the Cam Ranh Bay naval base, and also wanted to allocate Hong Kong's oil fields, Paracel Islands, and Zhongsha Islands to Vietnamese territory. Hearing this on the radio
Propaganda, Meng Da snorted coldly: "You don't know how to live or die, you really think you are the third most powerful military country in the world!"
82-year-old Xue Yue asked worriedly: "Will it cause a war?"
"Yes!"
Madman Qiu laughed loudly and said: "Okay, I, Qiu Qingquan, can watch you fight before I die, so I can show off when I go to see the King of Hell."
74-year-old Huang Wei laughed and scolded: "You old man, fighting against such a country is just like an adult or a child!"
"Hahahaha." Mengda sneered and laughed, and said to the three old antiques: "If there really is a war, let's fight the most primitive war."
"Oh?" The three people looked at Meng Da in surprise.
"The mountain man has a clever plan!"
After the end of World War II, Vietnam defeated the United States, and with the support of the Soviet Union and equipped with Soviet-style American equipment, Vietnam began to call itself the "third military power in the world." However, at this time, Vietnam proposed the establishment of the "Indochina Federation" to unify the three countries. Under the Soviet Union
With the support, he launched an invasion of Cambodia and quickly occupied the entire Cambodia.
At the same time, Vietnam has engaged in large-scale anti-Chinese activities at home. Vietnam has claimed sovereignty over the land and sea on the China-Vietnam border, announced that it will include the Paracel Islands, Nansha Islands and other islands within its territory, and has sent troops to seize some islands in the Nansha Islands.
A border conflict occurred.
The Hong Kong People's Army quickly dispatched warships and transport ships to evacuate all overseas Chinese in Vietnam and Hong Kong people doing business. Of course, they mercilessly attacked the Vietnamese Navy who was openly provocative. After three days of naval battles, the Vietnamese Navy
All were sunk in the South China Sea.
Deng Xiaoping, as the new generation chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, also quickly issued an order to counterattack the self-defense war, and the Sino-Vietnam War began. U.S. President Jimmy Carter was very confused and asked Kissinger: "The Hong Kong People's Army
You seem unwilling to fight this battle?"
Kissinger thought for a moment and said to Carter: "Your Excellency, Commander Meng will not let the provocative Vietnamese go."
"China has declared war, what is he waiting for?" Carter was confused. Does Hong Kong want China to be independent to fight this war?
"In the India-Pakistan war, the Hong Kong People's Army has demonstrated their most powerful military. I believe the President also heard the reporter's interview that year. He is right. Hong Kong has led the world in weapons for fifty years. This is absolutely not true.
Arrogant! The Vietnamese are provoking this war, which is probably what Meng Da hopes for the most!"
Carter became even more confused and glanced at Kissinger dissatisfied: "What are you looking forward to most?"
"Yes, Vietnam is jealous of South China Sea oil. Wouldn't Meng Da occupy Vietnam after we withdraw?"
Kissinger's words made Carter think deeply. In the late Cold War, China and the Soviet Union continued to be in a state of hostility, while Sino-US relations began to normalize. The Soviet Union originally wanted to use Vietnam to achieve a strategic encirclement of China. Could it be that Meng Da couldn't see
Through this?
"Will he show off new weapons and equipment?" Kissinger and Carter had different ideas. They wanted to know what kind of military strikes Meng Da would use to subdue the Vietnamese.
"Tell the ambassador in Hong Kong to pay close attention to military maneuvers in Hong Kong."
"yes!"
While everyone was paying attention to the war, Hong Kong radio stations, television stations and newspapers published very unexpected news: "The Hong Kong General Administration and the Chinese government have reached an agreement to start developing the Beibu Gulf Special Economic Zone from today. We do not want a war, and we do not want a war."
I hope Vietnam can wake up, withdraw its troops from Cambodia, and stop provocations and armed attacks against China!"
Vice Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping, who was visiting Hong Kong, laughed and said to Meng Da: "I'm afraid this move of yours will surprise the whole world."
"We won the Vietnam War without force. If Le Duan can wake up, I would be willing to let him go." Meng Dat expressed his true thoughts as an expert.
Yang Dezhi looked at Meng Da in surprise: "Commander Meng, this is not your style."
"Hahahaha, you have to be merciful and merciful. If he dares to continue to provoke, I will make him a colonial country again!"
"Oh?" Yang Dezhi glanced at the Vice Prime Minister and said with a cheerful smile: "You want to occupy Vietnam?"
"If you want to beat him, you have to knock him down completely. He won't be allowed a chance to stand up for a hundred years!" Meng Da shouted with murderous intent.
Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping chuckled and said: "Vietnam's Voice of Hanoi Radio station accused us and said: The Northern invaders are trying to invade the territory of neighboring countries in order to fulfill their arrogant ambition to dominate Asia. The Vietnamese government calls on all the military and civilians to rise up again to resist foreign aggression.
.”
"Hahahaha, okay, I can satisfy his request!"
Yang Dezhi said regretfully: "Aren't you going to let us attack?"
"Guard the northern border and leave the fighting to me."
"Okay, I just want to see how your elite troops fight." Yang Dezhi smiled happily.
"Really want to see it?" Meng Da smiled strangely.
"certainly!"
"Come on, I'll take you to visit!"
Arriving at the New Territories Military Camp, both Deng Xiaoping and Yang Dezhi were stunned. More than 100,000 war horses gathered here, and all the soldiers were intensifying their training. Yang Dezhi exclaimed: "This is your elite unit?"
"Who dares to underestimate my troops?" Lu Shijie walked out of the headquarters.
"Hahahaha." Meng Da pointed at Lu Shijie and said with a smile: "On the anti-Japanese battlefield, he was the commander of my cavalry detachment. Unexpectedly, after forty years, he became the commander of the cavalry again."
"Are you kidding?" Yang Dezhi simply couldn't believe that there were still people in the world who dared to use this primitive way of fighting.
"The troops I dispatched this time are 50,000 gliders and 80,000 cavalry. Of course, there is also an armored unit of the corps. Lu Shijie."
"arrive!"
"Can we defeat the arrogant Vietnamese army with such a force?"
Lu Shijie shouted with a ferocious smile: "Master, I, Lu Shijie, will never come back until I kill all of them who dare to pick up a gun!"
"Okay, we don't fight this war with words, we have to use practical actions to let the Vietnamese understand that if they dare to provoke us, they will only have the possibility of destroying the country!"
