On the 3C, Ruan Liangyu took a helicopter from the Republic Army back to Vietnam>

A few hours before Ruan Liangyu returned to Vietnam, the Hanoi garrison sent representatives to contact the 2111 Armored Brigade, requesting a "arms negotiation" and clearly proposed to meet Ruan Liangyu. After receiving the news, Zhao Rundong personally issued instructions to the General Staff Department to delay the attack on Hanoi. Then he contacted Xu Zhengdong and advanced the time for Ruan Liangyu to return to Vietnam by 12 to hours. The army arranged for Ruan Liangyu to meet with the Hanoi garrison representatives.

At this time, Ruan Liangyu's importance was reflected.

According to the information provided by Pan Yunsheng, most of the Hanoi garrison generals were unwilling to surrender to the Republican team, and even threatened that if the Republican team sieges the city, they would fight to the last one. The only person who could make the Hanoi garrison lay down his weapons was Ruan Liangyu. When Wu Sanming fled south and Li Mingjie was missing, Ruan Liangyu became the supreme leader of Vietnam. Although some Vietnamese generals still did not trust Ruan Liangyu, most of the Hanoi garrison generals believed that negotiating with Ruan Liangyu was not a treason.

At the front line command of the 2111 Armored Brigade, Ruan Liangyu met the garrison negotiator.

The soldiers are not diplomats. As soon as they met Ruan Liangyu, the garrison representatives put forward three requirements. First, they must not conduct a major political liquidation and pardon all officers and soldiers involved in the civil war; second, they must not deprive the command and rebuild the Vietnamese National Defense Force based on the existing foundation; third, they must ensure the interests of the soldiers, and soldiers must have seats in the government.

Ruan Liangyu agreed to the first request very readily, but did not agree to the next two requests.

Xu Zhengdong, who participated in the negotiations, was also very surprised by Ruan Liangyu's firm attitude in the negotiations. According to Zhao Rundong's intention, peaceful liberation of Hanoi was the primary issue. As for how to deal with the "old army", it can be made after the establishment of the provisional government. Ruan Liangyu did not make any concessions and firmly stated that the army could not be rebuilt according to the system, and soldiers could not participate in government work.

After a few hours of negotiation, the negotiations almost broke down.

The six brigades surrounded by Hanoi entered the battle state at 15:30. As long as the General Staff issued an order, an attack could be launched at any time.

The garrison representatives returned to Hanoi at 15 o'clock. Before leaving, they only requested a second round of negotiations at 18:30.

The situation was very tense at that time. Peng Maobang asked Zhao Rundong for instructions within 3 hours and demanded an attack immediately. He tried to occupy important strongholds in the suburbs of the city before dark. Zhao Rundong rejected Peng Maobang's request and left the offensive troops on the position.

The second round of negotiations was held in the evening. The garrison representative lowered the requirements and stated that he could participate in politics after the military was removed from his status as a soldier.

Ruan Liangyu still did not make substantial concessions. She only expressed that she would ensure the safety of life and personal interests of all active-duty soldiers. The army must be reorganized before the regime changes. There will be no reserved for soldiers in the new government.

The negotiations broke down again. Peng Maobang personally issued the highest combat readiness order.

At 22:3, Beijing time, Peng Maobang came to the head of state and prepared to "persuade" Zhao Rundong to issue an offensive order.

"Old Peng, you won't even have this patience, right?" Zhao Rundong seemed to have expected Peng Maobang to visit him. "I have ordered the attack time to be delayed for 24 hours, and I must do it when I say it. Although the negotiation process is not very smooth, it does not mean that there is no chance to resolve the problem peacefully. As long as the garrison is willing to negotiate, we must continue to work for peace."

"How to talk?" Peng Maobang was very angry, "You don't know that the garrison was talking and preparing."

Zhao Rundong smiled and shook his head, not feeling surprised.

"During the day, we have been monitoring the mobilization and deployment of the Hanoi garrison." Peng Maobang picked up the cigarette, "Using the negotiations, the garrison has been adjusting its defenses and made key deployments based on the characteristics of our army. I dare to bet with you that by dawn tomorrow, every building in Hanoi will have enemies, bombs and mines buried at every location where aircraft can be landed, and roadblocks and traps are set up on every street. When the attack is launched, we will pay a higher price and there will be more casualties in soldiers. As the Chief of General Staff, I must be responsible to every soldier. As the head of state, you should also be responsible to the soldiers of the Republic."

"Old Peng, this is serious." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead and said, "I also bet with you that the Hanoi garrison will surrender before dawn tomorrow. Do you believe it?"

Peng Maobang hesitated for a moment and said, "Why do you think that the Hanoi garrison will surrender before dawn?"

Zhao Rundong smiled faintly and said, "If I guessed correctly, you must have called Xiao Pan before coming here."

"You..." Peng Maobang was stunned and said, "Did you let Pan Yunsheng go to Vietnam?"

"No, he's in the Military Intelligence Bureau, just don't have time to answer your phone."

"But……"

"The garrison representative put forward the conditions to Ruan Liangyu is a question of putting it on the table." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "Those generals are big shots in Vietnam. It is obviously unrealistic to ask them to put down their weapons immediately. Ruan Liangyu is another guy who is not in the world, so it is unlikely that he will make concessions."

"You mean..."

"When Ruan Liangyu returned to Vietnam, the Military Intelligence Bureau also sent people there. Now it is negotiating with the Hanoi generals, I believe

The garrison will not accept the conditions for us to open the land.”

Seeing Zhao Rundong's confident look, Peng Maobang frowned and said nothing more.

At this time, Hu Zhicheng, who represents Ruan Liangyu, and Zhang Xiaolong, who represents the Republic, were negotiating with the three main generals of the Hanoi garrison in a farm in the suburbs of Hanoi.

"Everyone should know that whether it is peaceful liberation or military liberation, Hanoi must be liberated." Hu Zhicheng knows Vietnamese generals very well, and also understands the interests and demands of Vietnamese generals. "If I guess correctly, General Huang and General Chen should have known that Wu Sanming had left Hanoi when he had arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, right? General Zhao, I'm afraid you don't know where Li Mingjie is now? I don't deny that in the past few decades, Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie have given you great benefits. But when life and death are at stake, they left you behind, and even used you as shields. Is it necessary to continue to serve Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie? You are very clear about it."

The three Vietnamese army generals looked very ugly, and they seemed to be revealed by Hu Zhicheng.

Hu Zhicheng smiled faintly, lit a cigarette, and said, "You must not know how much wealth they plundered from Vietnam when you think Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie are good to you."

Zhang Xiaolong threw several documents in front of the three generals.

"This is the information from the Army Military Intelligence Bureau, which contains Wu Yujie's signature. I don't need to say whether it is authentic or not. You can take a look, I believe it will open your eyes."

The three generals hesitated for a moment and picked up the documents one after another.

As Hu Zhicheng said, after reading the information, the three generals all showed a very shocked look.

"It actually... there are more than 20 billion..."

"Mom, we have been fooled by Wu Sanming as monkeys. After so many years, we don't even have a fraction of the money to share with us."

"Li Mingjie is not much better, more than one billion US dollars. In the past fifteen years, I have only given me five million. Damn, I'm blind!"

Seeing the reactions of the three people, Hu Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "No matter what, those are the past. No matter how powerful you scold you, Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie will not die just because of your scolding, let alone come back to save you."

"Hu Zhicheng, you...you have a way to save us?"

Hu Zhicheng nodded and looked at Zhang Xiaolong who was sitting next to him.

"I am on behalf of the Republic. As for my local identity, there is no need for too much introduction." Zhang Xiaolong coughed dryly and said, "As long as you agree to put down your weapons and hand over the military power, the Republic will not only not hold you accountable, as well as your relatives and subordinates responsible, but will also provide necessary help to you and your families."

“What helps?”

"For example, leave Vietnam." Zhang Xiaolong took the cigarette handed over by Hu Zhicheng and said, "Leave Vietnam with your property. The Republic can provide you with shelter, or arrange for you to go to a third country. Of course, I think the Republic is the best choice. After all, no matter who comes to power, it depends on the Republic's expression."

The three generals looked a little better.

"You mean, can we bring all our assets to the Republic for pension?"

Zhang Xiaolong nodded. "Not only care for the elderly, but also the children of all land can settle in the Republic and even obtain citizenship of the Republic."

"How can we believe your words?"

"You don't have to believe it, because you have no other choice." Hu Zhicheng said for Zhang Xiaolong, "The ceasefire time is only twenty-four hours. As soldiers, you should be aware of the combat effectiveness of the Republic** team. Hanoi has been completely besieged and the air passage has been completely blocked.

As long as the war starts, no matter who it is, you won’t want to leave Hanoi.”

The facial muscles of the three generals twitched a few times at the same time, and their expressions suddenly dimmed.

"I am willing to come to negotiate with you, which is the best way to express sincerity. Hanoi is not the capital of the Republic, but the capital of 80 million Vietnamese people. It has ruined Hanoi, and the people who suffer the damage are the Vietnamese people. I also believe that as soldiers, you all value honor and reputation very much and do not want to be a sinner of the nation."

Hu Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, there are still a few hours left, and time is very precious."

"We can hand over military power, the problem is..."

"We absolutely guarantee the safety of your life and property." Zhang Xiaolong interrupted the general named Huang and said, "If you want, you can even cooperate with us."

“How to cooperate?”

"Provide us what you know about Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie." Zhang Xiaolong said a little late, "The real criminals are Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie. Whether it is the new Vietnamese government or the Republic, they will be held accountable. Therefore, we need your cooperation and valuable clues."

“That is, is this our security guarantee?”

Zhang Xiaolong nodded. "As long as you are willing to cooperate with the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Military Intelligence Bureau will not only guarantee your safety, but also provide you with necessary benefits."

At this point, the most concerned issues of the three generals have been solved. (To be continued,)
