Chapter one hundred and thirty-three Throw the ground
Lansdale talks to people, and he can talk nonsense with anyone. Saigon has a wide range of friends, and no matter what happens, everyone likes to come to him.
He once admitted that he had integrated into the city of Vietnam, and he had many friends and trusted him very much. However, since the referendum was announced, he has been overwhelmed by those friends.
When Wu Tingyan first became prime minister in Saigon, he urged people from all walks of life to support the new government and made many promises. As a result, Wu Tingyan was crony and unwilling to share the power of all factions. None of those promises were fulfilled.
He described the "flower of democracy" as a joke, even if Dinh Nhu Ngo, the presidential adviser, was more acceptable.
Last night, he received a group of visitors who were family members of government officials.
They said that their husbands were taken away by a group of armed men who broke into the house in the middle of the night and called them "special forces"
He knows those officials and has helped him a lot in the past year.
Lansdale couldn’t just sit back and look for Wu Tingyan at the Independence Palace this morning to find out what happened. Wu Tingyan asked him to wait for 2 minutes and came back. He was a little embarrassed to tell him that he had caught the wrong man.
Only after receiving the person did I know that the arrest was threatened by Dinh Nhu Ngo’s commander because those officials were unwilling to join the Dinh Nhu Ngo People’s Labor Party.
What’s the matter of arresting people for political differences?
If South Vietnam didn’t need a stable political situation to resist the threat of North Vietnam, he really wanted to suggest a change in Washington like Ambassador Collins.
A wave of unrest rises again and again
I have just appeased those old friends and returned to the station to welcome some old friends’ families.
A woman in her thirties cried in French, "Mr. School, my husband has been arrested. Those people wear the army and say that they are the security team of Pingdong Industrial Village. They left me this arrest warrant. I went to the police station and the political department, but they couldn’t help. Now you can save my husband, please!"
"My husband has also been arrested. This is an arrest warrant, Mr. School. When my husband was arrested, he asked me to come to you and say that only you can save him."
……
What happened to the world? Six old friends were arrested again.
Looking at the arrest warrants of Pingtung Industrial Village Security Team, Toudun Industrial Village Security Team or Boliao Industrial Village Security Team, Lansdale thought that Li Min was more reliable than Dinh Nhu Ngo, leaving one arrest warrant and noting the reasons for the arrest. He also gave several legal basis.
This is not political persecution, this is an economic case.
The situation is different. Lansdale can’t run over and ask for an arrest warrant like just now. "Madam, is your husband engaged in the construction industry and obtained the infrastructure project of Pingdong Industrial Village by illegal means such as bribery?"
Women dare not hide the pear blossoms and say, "Yes … Yes … Yes, sir, but … but it’s normal to give each other some benefits. It’s not a crime for Vietnamese businesses to do so."
What is bribery if it is not a crime?
Lansdale, who was ignorant of law, thought it over thoroughly and then asked sideways, "Madam, did your husband pay bribes to the purchasing staff of Toudun Industrial Village? Did the purchasing staff of the industrial village conspire to fill the sand and gravel for the industrial village?"
"But … there may be, but I don’t think it’s that serious."
The industrial village plan is part of the "Michigan University Group Plan". If the security team of the industrial investment company does not deal with such a serious corruption incident, the government research department of Michigan State University will put pressure on the government to punish it through various channels to ensure the smooth implementation of the industrial village plan.
Li did the right thing. If this happens, you should be merciless and merciless.
Lansdale shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically, "I’m sorry, ladies, but I can’t help you. If I were you, I would go to a lawyer immediately."
……
At the same time, Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c rushed from Yonglong parish to Independence Palace.
He said that he would arrest people without even saying hello in advance. As soon as he entered the president’s office, he angrily asked, "What do the three brothers want to do? Does he think we have many supporters or does he want to turn the industrial village into an independent kingdom? "
Wu Tingyan, who had just sent away Lansdale, was distraught and asked inexplicably, "Why did the second brother come and what happened to the people?"
Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c threw Little Red Riding Hood on the sofa and said angrily, "He managed to win over some supporters and caught me. If I don’t come, there will be chaos!"
"People arrest us?"
"You don’t know?"
"He’s on his way back from Hong Kong to Saigon to pick up his younger siblings. How can he arrest people?"
"He has a security team. He doesn’t have to give an order himself."
Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c pushed the secret coffee aside and gnashed his teeth. "From noon yesterday to this morning, the supporters I introduced have arrested 46 brothers with the People’s Labor Party and the church in party member. Even the * * officer didn’t want to let that security guard give an ultimatum to support our officers to take the initiative to surrender to the industrial village. Does he still have the president and the government in his eyes?"
I remembered that Chen Shiguo reported the incident alone a few days ago. Wu Tingyan finally reacted and greeted him to sit down and said with a wry smile, "Second brother, this is not civil. I agree that Chen Shiguo is responsible for the specific actions, but the people know but didn’t participate."
"What?"
As soon as his voice fell, he heard a familiar voice, "The industrial village plan will be finished because we don’t grasp the national industry forever!"
Madame ngo dinh is back as cold as ice, and he is full of fire, which can be used as an excuse.
Li Minchao Wu Tingyan and Dinh Nhu Ngo, who just followed in, nodded slightly and was about to say hello. She angrily denounced, "A group of bold, greedy and disgusting scum colluded, sought personal gain, paid bribes, embezzled public funds and pocketed their own money, which has caused more than 20 million losses. If they go to the industrial investment company, they will go bankrupt in a few years, not only to catch but also to make an example …"
As soon as the tigress came back, she became angry. All the staff of the Independence Palace came to report to the officials of various ministries and the officers of the General Staff, and crept to the stairs to hear what happened inside.
I don’t know what to say when I scold Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c.
Wu Tingyan was surprised and asked incredulously, "Is the loss of the people so serious?"
"Mr. Yan, this is a direct economic loss, excluding the receiving loss, and it is now in the hands of the audit and supervision department, the security department and the judges of the circuit court of the industrial investment company. If there is no accident, the losses they caused may exceed 30,000 piasters, which is shocking!"
There is no doubt that Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Th?c, the first major case of the Republic, realized how much trouble he believed those guys had caused
Those concerns of civil aircraft are very reasonable.
Madame ngo dinh, who has been under house arrest for more than three months, doesn’t want to just put her back on her feet and say indignantly, "* * It’s like being infected. Now it’s an industrial investment company. If it’s not cured, it will be infected by the government and the army. Once it’s too late to cure, it’s impossible to stop it. There will be a situation of not fighting corruption and dying the party and fighting corruption and dying the country!"
