Chapter 772 I Am Familiar with Transferring Property.

General Navarre is busy handing over weapons to the South Vietnamese army, of course they are all light weapons, so that the South Vietnamese army can withstand the military pressure of North Vietnam after the French leave. This is also what the United States requires.

With the support of France, the South Vietnamese government army expanded from five battalions in 1950 to 26 battalions the following year, and established a number of military academies and a military management system with the General Staff as the core. , promulgated supporting military management systems and military service laws. After the Korean War, the Baoda regime's regular army had expanded to 170,000, and a relatively complete officer corps and reserve system had been established.

Alan Wilson has nothing to say about France's move, it is just another gun party trend. A small number of elites and the vast majority of the security forces who had nothing to do with food, 200,000 North Vietnamese troops went south, and one million South Vietnamese troops were wiped out.

If it weren't for the Afghan government troops in later generations, they might have kneeled down faster, and South Vietnam would have been mentioned as the benchmark for being killed instantly.

The surprise is not surprising at all. In countries where the primary comprador economy exists, it is normal for the military to pull their hips. The economic relationship between South Vietnam and France is also a very rudimentary dependency relationship. The big landowners and big compradors who were attached to the colonial power were committed to exporting raw materials to the suzerain country and at the same time undertaking the dumping of goods from the suzerain country.

If he had not lobbied London and then personally came to practice as a commissioner in British Malaya, even if the British had a higher level of exploitation than the French, they would not be able to get anywhere, and they would not be much better than South Vietnam.

Now that the French power is about to recede, he came here personally to help with the retreat this time. He also wanted to establish a harmonious relationship with the Chinese businessmen and the local Chinese buying gangs, and then rely on the geographical location of British Malaya to share the market share from South Vietnam. A cup of soup.

It was rare since colonial times for a colonial commissioner to work as hard as he did.

The official residence of Emperor Bao Dai looks very Roman at first glance. France has colonized Vietnam for a long time, so this presidential palace is naturally in European style. It was originally the French Governor's Palace, but was later given to Emperor Bao Dai as his official residence.

The official residence covers an area of ​​120,000 square meters, is three stories high, has two side buildings and a basement. The original Emperor Bao Dai, now the ruler of South Vietnam, lives here.

Alan Wilson did not deny that he liked to have good relations with representatives of these backward forces and was keen to help these people, such as Ali Khan who found the meaning of life in Malaya.

Just looking at Saigon, South Vietnam didn't look so bad, but Alan Wilson, who had nothing to think about the French in Malaya, until he could see the real South Vietnam as long as he left the city of Saigon.

In the countryside, the French colonial government actively exempted large landowners from poll taxes and private land taxes, and provided economic benefits such as low-interest loans, thereby cultivating a powerful bureaucratic landowner class that was dependent on the French colonial order.

France is known as usurious imperialism, which is naturally reflected in the colonies. French usurious capital also cooperates with the landlords in South Vietnam to issue usurious loans to farmers. The low-interest loans obtained by the landlords from the French bank Crédit Agricole are re-lent to farmers at an annual interest rate of 30%. farmers, further causing the homesteaders to go bankrupt. The high concentration of land not only brought heavy taxation and oppression, but also created a large number of landless people.

For example, when the comprador regime faces the socialist forces of the same race, it will be a matter of time before it is destroyed. South Korea also needs to thank Park Chung-hee for its military dictatorship. Speaking of this military dictatorship, it happened that the person who hosted him to visit the palace of Emperor Bao Dai was named Ngo Dinh Diem, who used to be Emperor Baoda's official minister has now been appointed prime minister.

Diem was very polite to Alan Wilson's arrival, and Alan Wilson also knew that once the French left, Diem would depose Emperor Bao Dai, who was supported by the French, and rule Vietnam by himself.

"I heard that Mr. Wu has been to the United States?" Alan Wilson knew Diem's ​​experience in the United States and directly switched to English. "Catholics are rare in Vietnam, but it may be a help to you."

"I have just come back and have gained His Majesty's trust. God is with us..." Diem was very polite,

Nothing like a military strongman.

Being a Catholic helped Diem thrive in the United States, and he successively won the appreciation and support of American politicians such as John F. Kennedy, Mike Mansfield, and Williams Douglas.

But he didn’t know that the British man in front of him was not interested in God. When he thought of God, he could always think of the famous quotes of several Stalin teachers. Moreover, just over 5% of South Vietnamese Catholics were definitely less than 10%, and they were definitely a minority. group. Although an absolute minority is beneficial to the political stability of a small circle, it is a disadvantage to the larger enemy.

Thinking about Diem's ​​basic base, it was similar to that of Chang Gong, the large governor of Liangjiang. Alan Wilson also remembered that Diem seemed to have met Chang Gong later, and wondered whether they exchanged experience in the logistics field.

After a while, Diem took the group to the residence of Emperor Bao Dai. Alan Wilson saw how familiar Diem was with this official residence and knew in his heart that once the French left, Emperor Bao Dai's good days would be numbered.

Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem was very busy. He was busy with the same thing as Alan Wilson's recent focus, which was the wave of escapes in North Vietnam. Of course, Ngo Dinh Diem's ​​main concern was the Catholics who fled from North Vietnam. Being a farmer with little savings, the Wu group's Catholic background made them unpopular with the traditional elite groups and Confucian literati.

The core of the Ngo Group is only the six brothers Ngo Dinh Kuei, Ngo Dinh Chu, Ngo Dinh Diem, Ngo Dinh Nhu, Ngo Dinh Jin, and Ngo Dinh Lien. For Ngo Dinh Diem, who is determined to gain the power to rule a country, he really has no one under his command. There is currently a wave of refugees in North Vietnam, and he, as the prime minister, also They are trying their best to get North Vietnamese Catholics to come to South Vietnam and increase their base.

"Your Majesty, I take the liberty to disturb you." After seeing Emperor Bao, Alan Wilson looked like an angel had descended. His eyes swept across Queen Nanfang, the woman next to Emperor Bao Dad, and he once again felt his innate talent as prime minister.

"Commissioner Wilson, welcome to your arrival." Emperor Bao Dad did not notice the behavior of the thief in front of him, and greeted him in a friendly manner. If the other party was not an Englishman, he would definitely not be available.

Now that the situation is unstable, Emperor Bao hopes to get more and more support, no matter where this support comes from. With the departure of the French, South Vietnam's independence has become settled. The next step for Emperor Bao Dai will be whether his power can be maintained.

Twenty years ago, Ngo Dinh Diem was the Minister of Civil Affairs of Emperor Bao Dai, but it was different now. He could feel that Ngo Dinh Diem seemed to be not only satisfied with the position of prime minister, but also wanted more.

This is also part of Alan Wilson's purpose. If Emperor Bao Dai is rich enough, Alan Wilson does not hide his thoughts. He can definitely treat Emperor Bao Dai like he treated Ali Khan.

"If I were Your Majesty, the first thing I would do now would definitely be to transfer property." Alan Wilson took the tea handed over by the servant of the official residence, took a sip without anyone noticing, and asked the person next to him verbosely. Is the woman Queen Nanfang?

Of course, this was just an interlude. Queen Nan Fang and Vivien Leigh were of the same age. When the imperial commissioner talked about business, Cao's thief's heart was fading, saying that when he came to South Vietnam this time, he had already seen the real situation during the period when France was about to withdraw.

"It's not the first time I've seen this." Alan Wilson mentioned his experience working in British India.

It’s not that he felt so glorious that he had to repeat it to everyone he met. He was annexed through Ali Khan’s Hyderabad state, and he reminded Emperor Bao Dai that he should nip it in the bud.

"This is so surprising. Mr. Wilson, I really didn't expect it." Emperor Bao Dad came up and said with surprise, "What is your position in doing this?"

"In terms of reputation and status, I have a very good relationship with many royal families, such as Princess Badia of the Iraqi royal family, King Farouk I of Egypt, and Maharaja Ali Khan of Hyderabad. I am convinced that these royal families are not enemies of the United Kingdom. If Vietnam If it is managed by the British, His Majesty will sooner or later feel that I am more suitable for the position of Prime Minister than Mr. Wu."

"This reminds me of an ancient man named Su Qin!" Emperor Bao Dai once served as the emperor of Vietnam and had some knowledge of the history of Vietnam as a breathless big country in the north.

"Want to hang the seal of the Six Kingdoms? Actually, it's almost the same. Princess Badia really made a seal specially for me to collect." Alan Wilson made a haha ​​and said that he was not joking.

He very much hoped that Emperor Bao Dai would go to Malaya to strengthen the reactionary forces, preferably with assets of 18 million US dollars. He remembered that Emperor Bao Dad's assets were confiscated after a round of confiscation, and he should be very rich now.

Concerning the information he knew, such as Ngo Dinh Diem being favored by the United States, and telling the truth, leaving the rest to Emperor Bao Dai’s own judgment, Alan Wilson finally assured, “I don’t have to lie to you. Your Majesty can use the time when France is still here to use a In the name of the leader of the country, ask about my relationship with the royal family of Egypt and Iraq, and then contact Maharaja Ali Khan. See if I can be trusted."

Emperor Bao was silent for a long time, and then thanked him sincerely, "Commissioner Wilson, I will definitely consider your suggestion seriously. A person will have doubts, and it may take a while."

"No problem, I'm just fulfilling my obligation." Alan Wilson nodded, then nodded to the queen and said, "Today I want to visit the customs and customs of the royal family. Is this a request that is too much?"

In the evening, Alan Wilson left the official residence of Emperor Bao Dai. Vivien Leigh was obviously exhausted from the day and fell asleep on his shoulder while riding in the car. Alan Wilson also asked Xia Meng and Yaqian Caixun if there was anything else they wanted to go to. place.

A week later, Emperor Bao Dadi met again with the colonial commissioner who had ties to the Six Nations. Through Alan Wilson's help, Emperor Bao Dadi's property began to be transferred to the Royal Bank of Scotland.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that I have contacted the Royal Navy and am willing to help your Majesty transport some things that may not be of much value but are of historical significance." This is not the first time Alan Wilson has done this. Isn't it possible that an emperor doesn't have the power of a country? Does the monarch have more face?
