At around nine o'clock in the evening on October 31, a dance was being held in the French Governor's Palace in Hanoi. The hall of the Governor's Palace was bright and feasting. Big figures active in Hanoi's political and economic circles were wandering on the dance floor with their beautiful female companions. The dance music took a break.
At that time, the big shots gathered together in twos and twos holding half-filled goblets of red wine, talking in low voices. Fei
As the governor of the French Indochina Federal Government House, Raffarin was unsurprisingly the protagonist of this kind of gathering. After he performed the opening dance, he was surrounded by big shots. The Japanese first occupied the Dutch East Indies,
Then it advances towards the British East Indies. If nothing unexpected happens, Malaysia will soon fall into the hands of the Japanese. How will French Indochina fare? Every day there is new gossip. The day before yesterday was
Britain and France formed a military alliance, but yesterday it was Japan and France who reached a consensus. The big shots were troubled by many gossips and urgently needed to get real information to decide whether to go or stay, or whether to get on the line with the Japanese government. They took Rafa for granted.
Lan must have known that it was the truth, so she decided to take this opportunity to consult.
Raffarin enjoyed being in the public eye. He held a wine glass leisurely in his left hand and a cigar in his right hand. He answered everyone's questions in a gentlemanly manner - "Nothing, don't worry, everyone, French India."
The Federation of China will always be the most ideal place for investment, it was before, it is now, and it will always be..." He was talking eloquently. Suddenly, someone on the second floor shouted: "Long live Vietnam's independence!" Everyone was shocked and looked up.
, just as leaflets like snowflakes fell from the sky.
"Guards, guards, arrest him quickly!" a Frenchman in charge of security shouted.
Just at this time, the dance music started playing again. However, people looked up and looked at the thin figure who continued to throw flyers down. No one was in the mood to continue dancing.
"Bang!" The door opened, and a group of French soldiers with live ammunition broke in. They rushed towards the stairs.
The waiter dressed as Feng Hai appeared at this moment. He walked straight towards Raffarin. When he was still five meters away, he suddenly pulled out a pistol from under the tray and shouted: "Long live Vietnam's independence!"
The gun was fired at Raflan.
"Bah, bah, bah -" three consecutive gunshots rang out, and the hall was filled with screams. Many people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and some rushed towards the door of the hall. Raffarin was shot three times in the chest, and only
He fell to the ground before he could let out a scream.
When someone saw this scene, they immediately shouted: "Protect the Governor!" "Lord Governor!"
Someone else shouted: "Guards, hurry up, catch the assassin!" The French soldiers turned around and rushed towards Feng Hai. Feng Hai turned his guns and fired at them, shooting down a French soldier and taking two shots himself.
Shouting "Long live Vietnam's independence", he fell to the ground.
Two minutes later, the soldiers cautiously approached Feng Hai. An officer bent down and felt his breath, then touched his carotid artery and said, "He's dead."
The doctor from the Governor's Palace hurried to the hall with a nurse. He was much more professional than the officer. He took a flashlight, opened Raffarin's eyelids and looked at it. He stood up and shrugged: "It's a pity.
, the Governor’s heart has stopped!”
Upon hearing this, the governor's wife on the side screamed and fell into the arms of her female companion.
A quarter of an hour later, a curfew was implemented in Hanoi, and the bailiffs and detectives from the patrol room were dispatched one after another to search for the rebel who distributed the leaflets. Half an hour later, Ang Bos arrived at the scene with hundreds of soldiers. An hour and a half later, in
In the drawing room of the Governor's Palace, seven French people had a heated argument over the assassination of Raffarin.
Headed by Major General Angpos, the three people in the military had the same opinion. They believed that the reason why this tragedy occurred was the Japanese. Japan instigated the locals in Dutch Indochina to form independent armed forces, and allowed the locals in Vietnam to fight for independence.
Seeing hope. Among other things, Yi Geng, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Federal Army stationed in Hanoi, believed that the local independent armed forces had already established a line with the Japanese, and that the assassination was actually ordered by the Japanese.
Several officials, headed by Roland, the financial officer of the Governor's Palace, believed that since the Governor's Palace and the Japanese Minister had just reached a tacit understanding on the relationship between France and Japan, there was no need for the Japanese to do anything extra, so this was just a simple assassination incident caused by local people.
. believes that what the military should do now is to eliminate local independent armed organizations, rather than taking the opportunity to cause trouble and quarrel with the Japanese.
The two sides had completely different positions, and no one could convince the other, and they eventually broke up.
The next day, both parties convened dignitaries from the colonial government to discuss the candidate for the successor governor at the Governor's Mansion. The military recommended Ang Bos, but the political circles elected Roland. The meeting lasted all morning, and neither party was willing to compromise, so they discussed the final decision through secret ballot in the afternoon.
Decision. During the rest period, a riot broke out in the western Vietnamese city of Dishi. The local office of the Governor-General was attacked by independent armed forces. The head of the local military was killed. The local garrison suffered more than 30 casualties.
He escaped from Dishi without human beings.
When the news reached Hanoi, the afternoon meeting had just begun. All the participants were in an uproar. Yi stood up and shouted: "Gentlemen, have you heard this? Our soldiers are being slaughtered by yellow-skinned monkeys!"
What are you still hesitating about? Do you still naively think that the Japanese will show mercy to us? Or are you ready to surrender to the Japanese like the shit in the country? Gentlemen, we don’t have time here
We are stalling, we must take action immediately! Otherwise, you and I will die without a burial place!"
The whole place was silent. A few minutes later, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Roland raised his hand and said: "I agree with General Angpos to take over the post of governor, but I have a condition. I must participate in the negotiations with the Chinese people."
Roland was the head of the official, and with his statement, the deadlock was immediately broken. Angpos successfully took over the post of governor, and after taking over the governor's seal, the first order he gave was to open the border so that people could cross the border.
The Xuebing Army entered Vietnam.
At Chongzuo Liuqiao Military Camp, Ouyang Yun, Chu Tiange, Guo Da, Yang Chuntai, Song Yi and others were doing tactical deductions around a sand table. Pan Meiren suddenly opened the door and walked in. Standing at the door, she said loudly: "
Commander-in-Chief, there is a call from the French Governor-General, and the new Governor-General Major General Ampos has asked our troops to leave for Hanoi immediately."
Ouyang Yun threw down his baton and stood up, and said to everyone: "We can finally start." Then he said to Song Yi: "Old Song, there is no extra time for you. Now we can only do adaptive training while marching."
Song Yi said: "No problem, I guarantee that the brothers will be able to pull it out before the war begins."
Ouyang Yun waved to everyone and said: "Go back and prepare. We will set off in an hour. We must arrive at the border before eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Then he said to Yang Chuntai: "Old Yang, I will leave this place to you.
Got it!"
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured! We will protect the expeditionary aviation group!"
