Chapter 743 Saigon (first update, please subscribe)
Saigon, as the capital of the French Indo-China Federation, is also the most prosperous city here.

Saigon in 1952 was the same as other cities in Southeast Asia - the market was filled with a large number of Nanyang goods, and most of the cars running on the streets were Nanyang cars. In addition to buses, there were even French or foreign trucks running on the streets. , almost all cars have become produced in Nanyang.

In the past few years, relying on the business network built by the Tang people in Southeast Asia, Nanyang goods swept across Southeast Asia like a wave, quickly filling the gap left after the withdrawal of Japanese and European goods. Now Nanyang goods have long become a market mainstream.

Even now, with the recovery of the French economy, French goods have begun to return to French Indochina, but they cannot shake the market dominance of Nanyang goods. As the most prosperous city in French Indochina, Saigon still has dozens of A Nanyang trading house, where they sell Nanyang products as agents.

Contrary to people's imagination, most of the time, the work of commercial banks is very easy. They only need to contact the dealers, and this contact may be at night, so sometimes, when they are working, Just drinking tea and reading the newspaper,

For Liu Weilun, who came to Saigon for the first time, he has not adapted to everything here until now.

The life of drinking tea and reading newspapers seemed easy, but it was very boring. Now he even regretted his decision. Why did he come to Saigon?

Because of this, he missed Nanyang more and more. After seeing the news about "White Swan Shocks the World" in the newspaper, the first thing he thought of was to go to the map and measure the distance with a ruler.

"It's about 1300 kilometers, and the speed is about 900 kilometers per hour. Doesn't that mean we can fly to Chang'an in less than two hours! Wouldn't it be more convenient to go home?"

Like many foreign personnel. Liu Weilun The first thing that comes to my mind is that it is more convenient to go home. But then he shook his head and said.

"Manager, what are you looking at?"

"Yes, the French are getting worse day by day. I heard that the situation in the north is very chaotic now. Although France controls many cities, there are guerrillas everywhere outside the cities. Not only are the French troops often attacked, but Even civilians have been affected, many of whom are our compatriots.”

When Liu Weilun shook his head and sighed, what he didn't know was that in the Governor's Palace not far away, Zhang Pengju, the Nanyang Consul in Saigon, was having talks with General Salang on the refugee issue.

General Salang looked at Zhang Pengju and said directly.

The manager's pride made Liang Xin laugh. Then he said again.

"The French Indochina Federation and the Malayan Confederation are completely different. France will never give up this land, and it will also not tolerate any country's intervention here, no matter for any reason!"

Just at this moment, the door opened and Liang Xin entered the office. When he saw the manager standing by the window, he said.

Why General Salang said these words is because... As we all know, Nanyang has already extended its hand into Malaya. There are lessons from the past, so we must be vigilant. But he couldn't refuse the other party. After all, Nanyang had always regarded itself as the protector of the Tang people in Southeast Asia. If anything happened to those Tang refugees, Nanyang would definitely intervene. In this case, Salang only hopes that the other party can limit its actions to certain places.

"Neither I nor Paris want you to interfere in local affairs because of your casualties. Do you understand?"

"Look at the map. Calculate how long it will take to get to Nanyang by 717. The speed is 900 kilometers per hour!"

"Consul Zhang, although I have no objection to your evacuation of those refugees, regardless of their nationality or where they belong..."

Liang Xin's words made Liu Weilun nod in agreement.

"From a humanitarian point of view, it is undoubtedly the best choice for them to leave here. However, you must know that we are unable to provide any assistance. The situation in the north is not optimistic now. Whether it is civilians or soldiers, as long as they leave the city, Everyone may be attacked, even in the city. In this case, it is impossible for us to protect your personnel," General Salang said after a pause.

"But how expensive is this plane ticket..."

Then he emphasized it again.

"So, according to the instructions of Paris, the French Indochina Federation will open six airports to you, including Hanoi, for refugee evacuation. I think this is the only thing we can do at the moment!"

"Not even the French."

"Yes, many compatriots entered Vietnam through the border back then. Although many of them were taken to Nanyang in the past few years, there are still many people stranded there. Now they are caught in the war. It is really pitiful."

His expression and tone were full of pride. Although Liang Xin was from Tang Dynasty, he was from Saigon, and then he emphasized that.

After saying that, Liu Weilun turned around and looked at Liang Xin and said.

"Have you ever seen such an airplane? Made in Nanyang!"

……

Open the airport and evacuate by air!

Looking through the documents on the table, Li Yian frowned and finally said helplessly. "It seems like that's all it can do."

"Yes, Your Excellency, the French are extremely wary of us interfering in French Central South, lest we take the opportunity to replace them."

Li Guoren said helplessly.

"They thought too much. Even if that place was thrown to me, I wouldn't want it."

Where is that place in Vietnam?
It was a place that made France miserable and the United States in tears. Even the beautiful country was almost bled to death there. Unless they were crazy, Nanyang would never interfere there.

Not to mention interfering, you should stay away from that place as much as possible. If you are not careful and get trapped in it like the Americans, you will really have a place to reason.

The Americans think they are the number one Blue Star and want to get involved everywhere. No problem. If they want to perform, let them perform. It is nothing more than embarrassing themselves and opening everyone's eyes.

As for Nanyang...just stand aside and make a fortune.

"Vietnam is different from Malaya. Malaya is a peninsula. As long as we block the border areas, there is no external assistance. Even if there is unrest in the rainforest, it will only be a matter of time before it is wiped out. But the long western border of Vietnam has no Anything can be a breakthrough in the battle. Let alone fighting, it will be exhausted in the end. "

In another world, the Yankees made the same mistake. When they intervened in Vietnam, they thought they only needed to hold the 17th parallel, just like the peninsula. But they never expected that North Vietnam would pass through the long border and use the rainforest to invade Vietnam. Thousands of kilometers of borders have become infiltration points, using the so-called "Ho Chi Minh Trail" to continuously penetrate into the south. Unless the long borders with Laos and Cambodia can be controlled, anyone else will die of chronic blood loss. A bit like the bloodletting of Soviet Russia in Afghanistan.

Even when they were in Vietnam, in Afghanistan. So what if you win every battle?
Just keep bleeding!
As long as the consumption continues, as long as those people have the support of a big country at any cost, then the other side's blood will eventually be drained.

"It seems that your Excellency is not very optimistic about the situation in French Central South."

Li Guoren said excitedly.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not very optimistic either. Most people in the north are opposed to French rule."

"That's not important. What's important is that France itself can't hold on for long. After they suffer a loss, they will naturally retreat."

But that’s what will happen next year. When the northern powers withdraw from the peninsula next year, the good days of the French will be over. After the French withdraw their troops from the north, the United States will begin to intervene in the south. By then...well, special needs The economy is still very helpful to Nanyang's economy.

"However, this has nothing to do with us. Let's get our compatriots off first...just let the planes fly."

It just adds some transportation costs.

"There is no other way."

Li Guoren sighed, that was hundreds of thousands of people.

"By the way, don't resettle all the refugees to Nanyang. In this way, some will be sent to Zamboanga and some to Malaya. The arrival of this group of refugees will just increase the proportion of the Tang people in the local population."

"There must be no problem in Zamboanga. It's just Malaya. I'm worried about the British..."

Then Li Guoren changed his words again.

"I will personally fly to Kuala Lumpur to coordinate this matter with General Templer. It shouldn't be difficult."

"Um,"

Nodding slightly, Li Yian added.

"Coordinate with the airlines and put the 717 into this operation. It is faster and more efficient in transportation."

Of course, the more important thing is to increase the exposure of the C717. Although it is still undergoing test flights, the operational safety of the C717 has basically been determined. Otherwise, it would not fly to Kuala Lumpur for an unloaded long-range test flight.

Since the refugees are about to be evacuated now, it can be sent there to increase its exposure and pave the way for opening up the international market.

Exposure... Thinking of this word, Li Yian naturally thought of the Nanyang Olympic delegation. When the Olympics come, they can take the 717 to Finland!
