Although India did not officially admit that it did not exchange consuls with each other, Saigon stationed a consul general.
The same is true in Myanmar and Cambodia. In this respect, not only North Vietnam is far worse than even the Republic of China, the five common sense countries of the United Nations.
Although safflower is good, it needs green leaves to support it.
Li Min won the Oscar for Best Original Music Award for three consecutive years and was honored as "Chopin in Vietnam". He is a famous musician, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Even his wife has been honored as "Saigon Lotus" on the cover of Time magazine. The popularity of the United States is catching up with gregory Parker and other big stars.
His "green leaf" adds a lot of color to Wu Tingyan’s "red flower"
After five years, it is no longer so cold and lonely to set foot on American territory again. President Eisenhower personally greeted him at the airport and was welcomed by the American government as never before.
The high reception standard does not mean that there are no differences between the two sides. Li Min clearly understands that Eisenhower’s high-profile is largely to release a positive signal to the "free world" allies including West Germany, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province who are threatened by the Soviet-Russian camp.
As he expected, when it comes to substantive issues at the White House, the two sides are not as happy as when they first met at the airport.
After presenting the state ceremony, Wu Tingyan said, "Mr. President, we sincerely hope that the United States can increase its assistance to help us increase the number of troops from the current 150,000 to 170,000 because the number of troops in North Vietnam has exceeded 40,000."
Eisenhower was silent and Li Min was embarrassed.
Wu Tingyan talked about the importance of Laos and Cambodia. "North Vietnam will definitely cross the territory of Laos and Cambodia to attack China’s Mekong region. If North Vietnam attacks, we will resist because the three countries have a very long border."
Eisenhower perfunctorily said, "Mr. President, if that happens, the United States will do everything it can to help our allies. We have the Southeast Asian Defense Treaty Organization, and your country is not alone."
Southeast Asia Defense Treaty Organization. What’s the joke?
Wu Tingyan was extremely depressed and said with dignity, "Mr. President, I have carefully studied that treaty and found that it has a good deterrent effect. If South Vietnam is attacked, Pakistan is too far away to expect that there will be no Philippines and Thailand to rely on, but the Philippines has 60,000 troops to protect itself, and Thailand has 150,000 troops. If North Vietnam attacks Thailand through Laos at the same time, Thailand will not even have enough self-defense troops."
The Southeast Asia Defense Treaty Organization is not the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Can Eisenhower not know that all those allies are counting on it?
When it comes to money, he will not give in and say bluntly, "Mr. President, the United States will do its best to help our allies, but please remember that we still have many other international meanings, such as Europe and South Korea. Our economic assistance is not limited. We must rationally use our resources. I regret to tell you that Congress is considering very little economic assistance to South Vietnam."
After the translation, Li Min noticed that Wu Tingyan turned blue, which was a heavy blow to him.
Since American economic aid accounts for almost 6% of the government budget of South Vietnam, South Vietnam still lacks funds to strengthen the armed forces in rural areas, let alone consolidate the results of elimination and fight against the infiltration of North Vietnam. It is doubtful whether the existing 150,000 yuan can be maintained.
Of course, Wu Tingyan can’t give up the detour strategy immediately.
Reducing "administrative friction" means that the security forces should be transferred from the political department to Eisenhower of the Ministry of National Defense, while the security forces should be opposed by civilian control names. It is recommended to gradually reduce the number of security forces by 4%
The essence of the dispute still lies in the amount of military aid, because once the security forces are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of National Defense, they should be no less than the regular army, and the US military aid should be increased accordingly.
Break up in discord Wu Tingyan lost to the extreme.
In order to appease Wu Tingyan Eisenhower, he arranged a meeting with the commander of the Pacific Fleet.
It is a high-profile saying that if the Soviet-Russian camp attacks the American allies, the United States will consider making nuclear weapons. If the North Vietnam attacks the United States and cannot stop the North Vietnam attack, the United States will not hesitate to make all weapons at hand, saying that the existing military forces of the United States can defeat the strength challenge of the Soviet-Russian camp.
Chen Wenzhang, ambassador to the United States, knew that the United States needed less aid, but he failed to give full play to it. Wu Tingyan was disappointed and didn’t want to see him and study countermeasures with Li Min.
"It is said that the United States is generous and generous. Compared with Soviet Russia and China, they are really not generous. From what we know, Soviet Russia’s aid to China is as generous as China’s aid to North Vietnam. They are determined to cut aid despite their immediate interests. It seems that we can rely on ourselves after that."
Wu Tingyan took a puff at his cigarette and shook his head. "The industrial investment company has just developed, and it can’t kill the goose that lays the golden egg in the long run."
The industrial village security team is growing in size and number.
Not only does the Ministry of Political Affairs have opinions, but many universities have nationalized their troops. It is advisable to try to incorporate the security team of Fuguo Island Special Zone into the fourth tactical area and establish a joint command. These problems must be solved once and for all.
Li Min, who passed the board of directors before coming, smiled casually. "Mr. Yan’s industrial development is important, and national defense and security are more important. In July, the three-year tax period of some enterprises is coming, and we can squeeze out about 40 thousand dollars a year to support the government."
Cutting aid by 2% is equivalent to about $40,000.
Wu Tingyan was stunned by Li Min and then said, "To support the government, it is necessary to give cash to industrial village enterprise manufacturers and replace materials such as military uniforms, some regular ammunition, oil cigarettes, medicines, etc., such as weapons and equipment, especially vehicle and ship maintenance."
Key moments are still reliable for one of our own.
Wu Tingyan asked in a low voice, "Will the reserve officer training team and reserve forces be affected?"
"It will definitely be affected a little, but the problem is not very big. In addition, it must be made clear to the political department, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff that this fund is squeezed out of the teeth by the industrial investment company and several of them to discuss the materials needed for a distribution plan. After the distribution plan is completed, we can’t work for the company."
"Equivalent to tax?"
Li Min nodded and smiled and confirmed that "with the development of industrial villages, the corresponding share will gradually increase, depending on the overall development level, and this issue can be discussed once a year."
It can not only solve the urgent need after the United States cuts aid, but also ease the contradiction between various departments of the industrial, investment and government. Wu Tingyan said with a smile, "It can be done."
On the surface, it seems that the industrial investment company has suffered a loss, but it is not
As a result, it is equivalent to giving tax to industrial investment companies, and the industrial village management committees collect unified payment from industrial investment companies and pay by commercial materials, which can not only shut out the Ministry of Finance with confidence, but also ease the needs of various ministries and promote the development of industrial village enterprises to a certain extent.
Wu Tingyan, who has given this "reassurance" by Li Min, is in a much better mood.
Invited to give a speech in Congress, he visited two monasteries in new york and New Jersey, visited the University of Michigan, visited old friends of the government research department, visited the representative office of the industrial investment company and the staff of the Bank of East Asia branch in Detroit, visited the members of the Vietnam Friends Association, met with the overseas students of the Vietnam Youth Association and the China Youth Association in the United States, and stayed for 21 days before returning to Saigon.
