Chapter 1448: The Bitter Battle of Saigon (First Update, Please Subscribe)
In this world, there are all kinds of conspiracies every day.

As time flies by and we are about to enter November, the streets in Saigon are still as chaotic as before!
"When I first came here a few years ago, it was full of life and I thought maybe there was really hope here."

But now?
Looking at the city outside the car window, Ke Mingliang couldn't help but sigh. Now the streets are full of soldiers and police, but even so, they still can't stop the guerrillas' terrorist attacks. They have repeatedly attacked hotels and embassies, and even launched attacks on individual American soldiers on the streets.

The shadow of explosions and death has been hanging over this land for the past few years.

As a city, a few years ago, Saigon’s development made everyone think that it would be the next prosperous city, but what about now?

This is just a city full of dangers. Perhaps, it is a paradise for adventurers, but that's all.

In this way, the car moved forward and finally stopped in front of a heavily guarded villa. This was the private residence of Yang Wenming, the president's special adviser. After being checked by the military and police, Ke Mingliang's car drove into the courtyard. As soon as he got out of the car, an attendant guard led him into the villa.

Unlike the stuffiness outside the villa, the temperature inside is pleasant, and the cold air from the air conditioner even makes people feel that the temperature is a little too low.

"Mr. Ke, we meet again."

As soon as Yang Wenming saw Ke Mingliang, he invited him into the study. After the door of the study was closed, he looked at the man in front of him. On the surface, he was an employee of the representative office, but in fact he was an intelligence officer of the investigation department.

Before this, they had had two indirect contacts and had basically reached a consensus on some issues.

"Mr. Yang, I came here this time to convey a message to you. We believe that the chaotic situation here must be ended, and that gentleman obviously does not have the ability to do so!"

Yang Wenming said:
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Ke. Please rest assured that we will ensure that your interests will not be harmed in any way!"

Although he had the guarantee from the United States, Yang Wenming was also worried about Chang'an's intervention. After all, Wu Tingyan had always had a very close relationship with Chang'an. In the past few years, he had been trying to gain Chang'an's support to dilute the influence of the United States here.

Under such circumstances, Yang Wenming and his friends had to consider the factor of Chang'an.

"Changan believes that our goals are the same, which is to end the chaos in Saigon as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Mr. Ke, you know this place very well. Under the rule of the Wu brothers, the situation in Saigon has completely gotten out of control. If the situation here cannot be restored as soon as possible, it will only benefit the North. With the support of the North, the guerrillas will occupy the entire country. At that time, the Bamboo Curtain will descend upon the entire Southeast Asia."

Yang Wenming then explained his point of view - everything he did was for Saigon, for the entire country, to get Saigon out of the current chaos. In a word, he had no selfish motives.

Of course, this is just like what the mistress always says - I'm not doing this for money, I'm doing it because I love him!

In short, she’s a mistress!

It's fine to just listen to his words. However, since we have already decided to cooperate, we naturally can't expose the other party's ideas.

Just like that, they quickly reached a consensus, and after about an hour, they each got the answers they wanted from each other.

After Ke Mingliang left by car, General Chen Wendun, who had not appeared, came out from another room and asked:

"General, are they already on our side?"

"Yes."

Yang Wenming nodded and said:

"They have indeed come to our side and will not interfere in this matter, but..."

Looking at Chen Wendun, Yang Wenming continued:

"The key to this matter is the Americans. Only the support of the Americans is the most important. You must meet with the people in the United States again today, and then make the final confirmation!"

After that, Yang Wenming said to Chen Wendun:

"If it is confirmed, then we will take action for our country!"

"Yes, General, for our country!"

At this moment, they all seemed to be working hard for the responsibility they shouldered and for their country. A few minutes later, General Chen Wendun left by car.

On the first day of November, the world just keeps moving forward.

At noon on November 11st, Saigon was the same as usual. The streets were filled with soldiers and police, and people were living their lives as usual under the protection of the soldiers and police.

Today seems to be no different from any other day.

But soon, military vehicles and tanks coming from outside the city broke the tranquility of the city - a large number of troops entered the city. What happened?

The policeman in white uniform just glanced at them and didn't think there was anything strange. After all, in this city, the army often came in and out, and the guerrillas often disguised themselves as civilians to enter the city and attack key targets. Therefore, the army often entered the city to perform tasks. For this reason, almost no one noticed anything unusual.

But today is obviously different from the past. The number of troops entering the city from multiple directions is far greater than in the past, as many as tens of thousands of people. After the coup troops entered, all key areas and key departments in the city were quickly broken, occupied and controlled.

At 1 p.m., gunshots rang out in downtown Saigon. The fighting was mainly concentrated near the presidential palace, Gia Long Palace. When the rebels and the guards of the presidential palace were fighting fiercely, Ngo Dinh Diem asked loudly:

"What's going on? Where is the royal family assigned?"

Wu Tingru quickly replied:
"Now we have lost contact with him! Will he betray us too?"

Even Wu Tingru knew that many people had betrayed them now, so what if his brother and the royal family were engaged as father and son? Betrayal was not impossible.

Wu Tingyan frowned and said:

"No, Zongshi Ding will not betray me. Contact him immediately."

Soon, he got the news of the royal family's appointment.

"The president, he's conducting a military exercise with special forces outside the city."

"What! The troops are conducting exercises outside the city. This, this..."

Looking at his panicked brothers, Diem said:
"This is not a bad thing. As long as the royal family orders back, we can still defeat them!"

Compared to his brothers' panic, Ngo Dinh Diem seemed very calm. He even comforted everyone:
"We still have the support of the United States. Even if the United States does not support us, I can still go to the representative office and seek support from Southeast Asia. In short, I have the advantage now!"

In fact, when he said this, Ngo Dinh Diem himself did not believe it. After all, the timing of the "military exercise" was too coincidental.

At the same time, Deputy Minister Nguyen Youfu, who was in charge of security, hurried in and reported the situation to him. After learning that the rebels were about to attack the presidential palace, he immediately accepted Nguyen Youfu's advice - to flee the presidential palace.

Soon after they fled the presidential palace, the rebels attacked the presidential palace "Gia Long Palace", but did not find the brothers Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Nhu, because the brothers had already fled to Ma Quoc Xuan, Tang Kieu, under the arrangement of Nguyen Youfu.

As soon as he saw Father Ma Guoxuan, Wu Tingyan said to him:

"Father, now I only believe in you!"

"Mr. President, please rest assured that I will not disclose the news that you are here."

After the two men chatted briefly, Wu Tingyan handed six important letters to Ma Guoxuan and asked him to burn the letters if any accidents happened. In the following short period of time, Wu Tingyan went to the nearby Sacred Heart Church and prayed for a while in the church.

However, he did not take the president's car, but Ma Guoxuan's car. It can be said that President Ngo Dinh Diem was faced with this sudden change, abandoned by the United States, betrayed by his beloved general, and suffered a great blow in his heart. It is not difficult to imagine that his trust in people had already dropped to the lowest point.

But even so, he still believed in Father Ma Guoxuan. In times of crisis, Ma Guoxuan took Ngo Dinh Diem in regardless of his own safety, which was also due to traditional morality.

That day, the rebels took control of the entire city.

On the second day after the coup, realizing that the situation was hopeless, Diem called the coup leader, Dian Minh, and expressed his willingness to resign, but according to the law, the power would be taken over by the vice president or the speaker of the National Assembly after his resignation. However, Dian Minh and others rejected Diem's ​​request.

Afterwards, Ngo Dinh Diem spoke to the General Staff, and the person who answered the phone was Chief of Staff Tran Van Don. The biggest result of this negotiation was that Ngo Dinh Diem surrendered unconditionally, and Tran Van Don guaranteed that the two brothers could leave Saigon safely and go to any country. At this time, Ngo Dinh Diem had already received a guarantee from the representative office that he could be accepted into exile.

So, there is no more reason to refuse.

After the two sides reached a consensus, the General Staff sent General Mei Youchun to bring President Ngo Dinh Diem and his brother back to the General Staff. There was a reason why Mei Youchun volunteered to go on this mission. During the French colonial period, Mei Youchun served as a senior police officer. However, after Ngo Dinh Diem came to power, he was demoted because he had worked for the French, and Mei Youchun held a grudge against him.

Therefore, he really wanted to see the former president in such a miserable state!
When Mei Youchun's soldiers first met President Ngo Dinh Diem, they were quite polite at first, saluted him as usual, and invited him to get in the car. But after getting in the car, Mei Youchun's subordinate Nguyen Van Myo, under the instruction of the general, ordered the two brothers to be handcuffed in order to humiliate them as much as possible.

Despite this, the two brothers still endured it. On the way to being escorted, Nguyen Van Mieu slapped Wu Tingru in the face and spoke harshly to him.

Wu Dinh Ru, the president's younger brother and head of the secret police, had never been humiliated like this before, and he immediately stood up to resist. Two of Nguyen Van Mieu's soldiers first stabbed him with bayonets, and then beat him to death on Nguyen Van Mieu's orders.

Seeing his brother being killed, the furious Ngo Dinh Diem also clashed with the guards. At this time, the guards didn't care about anything else and fired three shots at the back of Ngo Dinh Diem's ​​neck. The powerful impact of the bullets pierced Ngo Dinh Diem's ​​neck and even shot out Ngo Dinh Diem's ​​eyes.

Ten minutes later, the generals who were waiting nervously in the General Staff Headquarters saw two corpses!
