Super military empire

"What do you mean, you need me to obtain heavy equipment for you before you will be loyal to me?" Sihanouk heard the words of the two in front of him and was silent for a long time before asking coldly.

Everyone in the entire Khmer hopes to find him, because he was once the king of Khmer and has a very high reputation in the country. Therefore, after Lon Nol’s coup, he was in exile in China for several years, but he was still in Pol Pot. Serving as the nominally supreme leader of the country while controlling the country.

Therefore, all parties want to use him, he knows very well.

Seeing Sihanouk’s unkind look and great dissatisfaction in his tone of voice, Ding Donghai said very solemnly, “No, your majesty, Neptune is an inseparable part of the Khmer Kingdom because of your kindness. , Giving us Chinese a high degree of autonomy, but we still belong to the Khmer, and you are still our king..."

Ding Donghai's words did not dispel Sihanouk's doubts.

"Your Majesty, we have been searching for your whereabouts before. I hope you can lead us to drive away the Vietnamese invaders and rescue the people living under the Khmer Red Terror policy..." Ding Donghai said the truth.

After all, Sihanouk’s status in Khmer is indeed very high.

Moreover, the Chinese mainland only recognizes Prince Sihanouk, which is why Prince Sihanouk was able to live in exile in China during the great domestic turmoil, and he was properly settled.This time it's not that he doesn't want to go to China, but that China is far from Cambodia.

China's attack on Vietnam was to a large extent also to put Le Duan in Vietnam under military pressure, allowing him to transfer elites from the Khmer back to China to defend the PLA's offensive.The strategic goal is achieved, but the Pol Pot government does not want him to return to the position of the country's top leader.

"The Chinese side told you my whereabouts?" No one can confirm whether these words are true.

But his whereabouts are indeed very confidential. There are definitely not too many people who know, and they are often transferred.

"Yes, Your Majesty. After the liberation of Nipudosang from Zhao Chuanxiang, we began to actively prepare to drive away the invading Vietnamese monkeys. Therefore, we need weapons and equipment. Before that, because there has been no way to contact you, so , We have been to China once, and the officials of the Chinese government simply ignored us. They said that this is our country’s internal affairs, unless your Majesty the King personally come forward..." Ding Donghai told the matter. .

He didn't even think of hiding it from Sihanouk.

In Khmer, they did not think about establishing a country by themselves.

Of course, this is the current thinking, and they have had such thinking before.But the management of local administrative affairs is really too difficult for those who were born to exist for war.

Even big battles are very difficult for them to deal with.

To drive away the Vietnamese monkeys and take advantage of the opportunity to occupy some areas of the monkeys is a long-term task for them. They need a stable rear and the strong support of the whole country.

"..." After hearing Ding Donghai's unreserved words, Sihanouk didn't know what to say.In the end, in order to break the embarrassment, he asked a very embarrassing question: "Minister Ding, I heard that before this, you used to be a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army..."

Ding Donghai was taken aback when he heard this.

But this matter must be faced.

Turning his head to look at the people around him, Sihanouk did not intend to let them out. After all, it was his confidant in it, and he simply said to Sihanouk very seriously: "Your Majesty, there is no Wrong. If it weren’t for helping the Khmer fight the invaders and help the Khmer liberation, we are still the most elite members of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. And now, we are traitors, and we are the shame of the country! Of course, this matter is with us. The country has nothing to do with it, but because our instructors collect our own wishes and leave the PLA order by ourselves..."

Since Ding Donghai has the nickname of a professor, he will naturally not be unable to deal with these things here.

For them, such half-truths are the easiest to believe.

If the country sent them, Sihanouk will definitely have channels to confirm, and they came here not for Khmer, but for China.

Why did you come here? Only Liu Yijiu knew. Even people like Yang Wei and Xia Zhentao didn't know.

"Your instructor? Isn't it your government?" Yiji frowned and asked.

"Yes, this has nothing to do with our country. We came here as volunteers." Xia Zhentao straightened his chest and said loudly.

"Why do you instructors want you to come?" Although I have already explained, Yiji doesn't believe in this simplicity. After all, the destructive power of these people has been shown, and a large number of Chinese educated youth are entering Nipudosang through a tortuous road.

To say that these people were sent by the Chinese government, they might believe that, after all, the friendship between China and Khmer has been tested and proven by time.

"Who is your instructor? Is there any personal relationship with me?" Sihanouk knew a lot of people in China, and many of them had very good relationships with him.

Even if this is not the Chinese government helping them, it can still be regarded as his friends' support for his cause.

"Liu Yijiu. This name may not be clear to your Majesty, but I think his father, you should know him. He is Mr. Liu Suzhi, a patriotic Chinese. Many Chinese scientists in the United States and Europe have returned to China, and they cannot be separated from him..." Ding Donghai Knowing some inside information, this Liu Yijiu is not sure, but now, in order to win the trust of Sihanouk, he has to carry Liu Suzhi out.

Hearing this name, Sihanouk's face suddenly became wonderful.

"Liu Yijiu? Has he entered your army now?" Sihanouk did not ask Liu Suzhi, but directly asked Liu Yijiu, which made Ding Donghai not expect that the King actually knew their instructor!

"Mr. Liu Suzhi's help to me, to Cambodia as a whole is very great. If I hadn't listened to his advice and hadn't guarded against Lon Nol, we Khmer would not be so..." Sihanouk is very He said lonely, "Also, Liu Yijiu is a very nice young man. When I was in China, I had dinner with him..."

In this case, things are much simpler.

Liu Suzhi's help to Cambodia, his personal friendship with Prince Sihanouk, and even the independence of Khmer as a whole are inseparable.

This is the highest state secret of the entire Khmer. Not many people know about these things, and it is even more impossible for the young man in front of him to know these things from any channel.Moreover, Liu Yijiu sent people here, and Sihanouk also felt that this was very normal.

"You can go back first and rectify the army. After the liberation of the country, I will still give Niputosang a high degree of autonomy. At the same time, I will go to China as soon as possible to persuade Chinese leaders to support our batch of weapons and equipment. For our country, our nation’s liberation cause..." In the end, Sihanouk made a very serious promise to Ding Donghai.

It was easy for Ding Donghai to disbelieve.

Even Yiji didn't know why His Majesty the King would agree to their request so easily. Once the Chinese power grows in the country, it will ultimately not be a good thing for the entire Khmer.

"Your Majesty, should this matter be reconsidered? They are Chinese, and they are traitors..." Yi Ji said worriedly after Ding Donghai and Wu Feng left.

He could not understand why His Majesty would agree to these things so easily.When the time comes, once the Chinese power rises and takes a dominant position in the war to liberate the country, then the entire Khmer will be controlled by these people.

"They betrayed their motherland for the liberation of our Khmer. For us, they are our heroes!" Sihanouk said to his manager very seriously, "This is very secret, I know. There are not many people. If it were not for the support of Mr. Liu Suzhi back then, our independence movement would not have been so easy, and I would not be able to inherit the throne. He made suggestions on our country’s armaments and even the country’s construction, but we did not follow his instructions. I mean to implement it seriously..."

Yiji is not only a heartfelt palace manager, but also his elder brother.

He is a very reliable person. Some secrets of the royal family can be told to him.

Only a few people know the inside story.

If it were not for Liu Suzhi’s suggestion, the relationship between Prince Sihanouk and China would not have reached that level. After all, it is most in line with their national interests to follow the United States like Thailand and Laos.

Khmer does not border China.

The next day, Prince Sihanouk conveyed to the U.S. government through the U.S. ambassador to Thailand that they wanted large-scale arms assistance, but the Americans rejected it.

The Americans support him only with limited support, with only a small amount of funding and verbal support internationally each year.Americans are very realistic, and actual actions are costly.

"Taxpayers' money must not be wasted in places that have no interest in the United States. Although supporting their weapons and equipment can give a very big blow to the arrogant Vietnamese monkeys, at least it can cause a lot of trouble to these monkeys, but It's not in our interest. We have already given up in the Vietnam War..." President Carter felt that Sihanouk's request was simply fantastic.

This is impossible for the entire US government.

It is simply impossible to get authorization from Congress.

"Mr. President, maybe we can suggest that they ask for military assistance from China. Sihanouk’s relationship with the Chinese government is very good, and the Chinese government used to have many ambassadors to China in public. I personally said that the Chinese government will always recognize Sihanouk as the head of Khmer state and will never identify with others!” Major General Mist, who was transferred to the presidential palace as a special adviser, suggested to Mr. President.

He is instinctively worried about China's rise.

It is precisely because of his suggestion that the peace model project that was originally fully launched will come to an abrupt end, and everything will become very calm.

They did not want to unite China with the strategy of bringing down the Soviet Union, which would drag down the Soviet Union but let China rise.

Moreover, they instinctively believe that China's true strength will never be what they show on the surface.

They got the new gun-steel technology, and until now, they have not wanted to understand how the Chinese people came up with such a material formula and process, especially after they got the sample materials, there was no way to reverse it. Production Process.

The Chinese have had the habit of hiding things from the beginning, and it is difficult to keep spies in the country. In the end, the Chinese anti-armor missiles and anti-aircraft missiles far exceeded their understanding.

A strong China is absolutely not in the interests of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region or even the whole world, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Throwing this kind of thing to China can effectively drag down the progress of China's economic construction. China is short of money!

Especially at present, Sihanouk has lost the throne for ten years, and his funds have been spent.

"The Chinese are now fully making economic assumptions. Many domestic military production units have been transformed. Will they agree to such a huge military equipment assistance?" Carter does not think that the Chinese will do things that are too inconsistent with national interests. Come.

You know, Sihanouk hopes to obtain military assistance with light and heavy equipment that can arm ten divisions this time. This is a very large expenditure.

The Chinese government has been running a fiscal deficit over the years. Are they willing to do such a foolish thing without getting any benefits?

"They will. To them, helping their heartfelt brother is far more important than their own national interests. Moreover, if Khmer can attract more Vietnamese troops, it will be a very good thing for China. Things." Mist said with certainty.

Carter was tempted.

He has never achieved much in the presidency.

If it can cheat the Chinese and hinder the Chinese from making progress in economic construction, the name of President Carter will be remembered by all Americans again during the declassification of the archives fifty years later.

He cheated the Chinese for the whole country regardless of personal honor or disgrace.

He is the hero of the entire American Republic.

"Then I will communicate with the leaders of China..." Carter gritted his teeth and said, "No, I will call Sihanouk first and tell him that it is best to make Chinese people help. The United States is too far away. We are completely Ships can be sent to help them transport weapons and equipment from China, and our Pacific Fleet can escort their weapons and equipment..."

The Americans would never have thought that what they thought was a pitfall in China, but in fact fell into a trap established by some people early on.
