"Father and I almost agree to set up a temporary’ joint conference on refugee relief’ to jointly elect an executive chairman, integrate the resources of our organizations, coordinate the overall planning and distribution of relief materials, and expand our rescue operation from simple food and medicine to difficult transportation, refugee camp management and refugee resettlement."
"Isn’t this the shadow government?"
"Mr. Becky, you should know that we are dealing with hundreds of thousands of refugees."
The French are almost in a state of government regardless of the current river and sea defense. If international charitable organizations ignore the world, who will take care of those refugees?
John Becky thought for a moment and looked up and said, "Mr. Min, I’m sorry I can’t promise you because I need the Committee’s authorization."
"I’ll wait for your news."
"I will give you a final answer at noon at the latest."
"thank you"
Since the members of the Refugee Committee of the Vietnamese government have arrived in the river, they have to go to the refugee camps outside the city to express their condolences.
A man in a suit and glasses climbed a jeep away from the International Red Cross. After a long separation, Lin Jiasheng happily asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Korea’s secret world has no Korean staff."
Touy took off his glasses and smiled sideways and reported, "Mr. Li, you want food ready. There are three trucks at the intersection ahead."
I have to go to the refugee camp, and I can’t go to the refugee camp with both hands. Li Min is satisfied and asks "Is it done?"
"I haven’t finished spending the payment."
How many people did he put in North Vietnam? Li Min didn’t want to ask more now, and he didn’t want to ask when. He simply said, "Keep it, and then go to several stores in the south."
"yes"
Brother Nong won’t let him take risks alone, let alone Dinh Nhu Ngo.
The current situation is that the French want to run their own roots and hope not; * * by the French and Ruan Wenxin command root tune; Because of the Zhiwa agreement, the United States can’t send troops to land, so it can count on him to take charge of the overall situation, organize and coordinate the evacuation of refugees, especially Catholic refugees.
When we arrived at the refugee camp, 30 armed Catholic militiamen and a priest joined the team to take charge of the security of the other river.
Compared with the refugee camps outside Haiphong, the river refugee camps are larger, and the refugees are more dark and endless. Many people in married with children don’t even have a shelter.
Seeing a motorcade coming, tens of millions of refugees poured in like a tide, and the motorcade was packed in a blink of an eye.
The French army stationed at the intersection with machine guns did not allow them to enter the city. One by one, the enemy was afraid to move forward. Maybe it was here for a long time. Several foreign volunteers of the International Red Cross climbed the truck and shouted a few times to "stand back". They were very obedient and let the team continue to go in.
"Don’t rush, don’t worry. This is the first batch of large ships carrying grain. They will arrive at Haiphong in the evening. After the trucks are unloaded, they will take a group of people to Haiphong."
After announcing his identity, Li Min picked up a little boy and said in a cadence, "Folks and compatriots, you have not been forgotten. The government, all walks of life and the international community have tried their best and the difficulty in action is that we will be able to overcome it for the time being."
After a while, the Vietnam Youth Federation and the volunteers of the Vietnam Overseas Chinese Youth Federation, the International Red Cross, the Catholic Church and the United States International Association and other foreign charitable organizations took care of everyone to solve the urgent problem of eating first, and then organized everyone to go to Haiphong in an orderly manner … "
Chapter seventy-six Big grip
How to get refugees to reach the river safely and then board the ship from the river to Haiphong is the weakest link in the whole "Freedom Road" operation.
With the support of Li Min’s church and the acquiescence of the International Red Cross, a "Joint Conference on Refugee Relief" composed of all walks of life and international charitable organizations was quickly established, and the temporary chairmanship of the joint conference quickly integrated the resources of all parties to take over the river and coastal defense refugee camps, which just made up this link.
Professor She is about to lead a delegation of the University of Michigan to Vietnam. Before leaving, she will go to Washington to discuss the most pressing issue reported by Professor Anderson, the "Vietnam Friends Association".
Senator Lee is the most outstanding Asian student in our university. He is a very thoughtful young man with extraordinary ability and firm belief. The Vietnamese business community has an amazing appeal. Not long ago, he just led Vietnamese Chinese businessmen to buy more than 100 North Vietnamese factories from the French, and legal weapons and public opinion forced the French side to acquiesce in their plan to dismantle and ship the purchased equipment to the industrial village in South Vietnam, which created extremely favorable conditions.
Senator Mansfield adjusted his glasses and let go of the paper. "Professor, I know your student. Is he in any trouble now?"
"It’s not his trouble, it’s the trouble of the whole free world."
Wesley-Scheer took out a report from Professor Anderson from his pocket and stared at him in the eye. "North Vietnamese refugees are poorer than we thought. When they arrived at the refugee camp, they were not only exhausted, but also their hands were’ 4 public law assistance’."
"what is called a refugee"
"They can’t afford to buy food."
"So your students are in urgent need of food?"
"The situation is very good. Many people don’t want to live in Vietnam and want to leave North Vietnam but need transportation. Although it is 75 miles (12 kilometers) from the river to Haiphong, there is not enough transportation and the French army enjoys the priority of road and railway, so it can be imagined how difficult this road is.
There are more than 20,000 refugees in Juhe River, and the number of refugees stranded in coastal defense is increasing every day. He and his friends have to feed 50,000 fewer people. If they don’t have enough food or can’t, those refugees can return to their hometowns. "
Senator Mansfield will ask incredulously, "Professor, do you mean that the Viet Cong will give them food?"
Professor She shook his head and said, "Of course it’s impossible, but they can harvest in autumn when they go back. If they have land, they can support themselves and their families."
The food shortage and resettlement in the "Freedom Road" operation had never been considered when planning. Senator Mansfield realized that this was a big loophole and that if there was not enough food, there would not be enough people to vote.
"God, how many days can they hold on?"
"Li mobilized the Nong people, and the plan prepared by a minority refugee living in northern Vietnam to take out grain and add to his former industrial village can last for about six days. If the increase rate of refugees exceeds expectations, it may last for four days, which is even shorter."
"Damn bastards, they should consult experts on Vietnam before making plans."
"It doesn’t help to say that what you can do now is to remedy it."
"I think I should go to the White House to teach you. You’d better communicate with your Excellency as soon as possible, and you can’t pin your hopes on government efficiency."
"Senator, before the fact came, I had communicated with your Excellency, and he was trying to find a way."
"Okay, let’s split up."
The American press has always been not enthusiastic about reporting Vietnam. With the announcement of the results of the Riwa meeting, Li Min invited more and more American journalists to visit Hehe and Haiphong, and the Vietnam issue finally appeared in the headlines of major American newspapers.
Dielmann, a reporter from The New York Times, Higgins, a senior reporter from new york Herald Tribune, and reporters from Time and Life Magazine all set their eyes on the refugees.
Dielmann reported that these people have been away from their hometown for many days without food, water, medicine and a firm belief in leaving the north!
American Catholic community newspapers and magazines have news about North Vietnamese refugees. They describe the Viet Nam as the most cruel persecutor of Catholics in history.
Newark’s "Advocate" "Let our people leave!" The title describes the story of Vietnamese Catholics who broke the barbed wire fence of Viet Nam, set up a labor camp and fled to the river to prepare for the south.
Can American Catholics watch Vietnamese brothers and sisters being persecuted and donate money, clothes and milk powder? Six transport planes transport money to rivers and coastal defense every day, and the money goes to the American branch of the Bank of East Asia, which is purchased by industrial investment companies in neighboring countries of Vietnam.
In just one week, Li Min raised more than 50,000 US dollars for charity, not to mention holding on for six days, even if it lasted for half a month. What made Professor Anderson ask for help was to get ready for a bigger wave of refugees.
The International Red Cross River Office has put up a "Joint Conference on Refugee Relief". He is sitting in John Becky’s office and spending American people’s money happily.
Just after signing the document to pay each volunteer 3 piasters a day, he looked up and said, "Ruan Mi counts how many people in one or more theatrical troupes and film projection teams are subsidized according to the standards of volunteers. Didn’t Saigon just come to a farce troupe (Vietnamese drama)? Count them in."
It turns out that this is also the reason for charity. Qian Ruanxiu completely took over the signed documents and laughed. "Okay, I’ll arrange people to count."
A few days before she left the office, she came from Saigon to visit the Prime Minister’s Secret and Press Officer, Huang Liliu. She knocked at the door and came in. While reading the press release, she reported that "there were four press conferences for Mr. Min at four o’clock in the afternoon. One was to protest that the expeditionary force occupied the road and affected the transshipment of refugees to Haiphong; The second is to protest against the destruction of Yong’ an River road by Viet Nam Union, which creates obstacles for refugees to move freely; The third is to announce the number of new refugees at 12 noon yesterday and 12 noon today; Finally, announce the situation of relief supplies. "
"The press release was not sent in conjunction with Professor Anderson and Mr. Becky, and they were asked to go to the French headquarters and the Vietnamese Union representative station to negotiate."
Li Min paused and added, "Inform the Ministry of Information to let them organize reporters to go to Yong ‘an for on-the-spot coverage, and inform the international monitoring and supervision committee when we know the situation, which is a violation of the Zhiwa agreement. They have the responsibility to supervise."
Mr. Min is amazing. He not only miraculously integrated so many international organizations, but also organized more than 1,000 volunteers from the Youth League and the Youth League to take over the refugee camp in just one week, and mobilized refugees to form more than 40 "camp protection teams".
Volunteers from the "Youth Youth League" and the "Youth Youth Youth League" led the "camp protection team" to help distribute relief supplies to maintain order, and to drive the Xuanyue League out of the refugee camp one by one, so as to manage hundreds of thousands of refugees from all directions in an orderly manner.
Huang Liliu quickly recorded the instructions and woke up with a smile. "Mr. Min, Premier Yan, Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan asked me to tell you not to patronize the work. You should rest when you should rest, and you should not sleep in the refugee camp as you did the night before. It’s too dangerous."
These days, a series of big moves and small moves have offended Viet Nam to the death.
Touy has received news that Nguyen Kexi, the leader of the "Labor Movement" and the "* *" Vietnam League organization, has listed him as a "reactionary Chinese" and "puppet government lackeys" who must be suppressed.
If it weren’t for the change of direction with the humanitarian brand, which represents the International Red Cross’s going to the refugee camps from time to time to show that the refugees have a certain prestige and go to the International Monitoring and Supervision Commission’s headquarters every three days, they would have done it.
It’s impossible to harm people’s hearts, but it’s impossible to prevent people’s hearts
Li Min won’t be stupid enough to continue to sing against Yue Meng. He raised his arm and glanced at his watch. "This side is on the right track. I want to go to Haiphong to see Liliu’s secret. Please tell Lieutenant Yiqi that I will go to the airport in an hour and ask him to prepare to fly to Haiphong."
He is the highest official of the new government river who presided over the evacuation of such large-scale refugees from the south. Huang Liliu couldn’t help but ask, "So … So … What should we do here?"
"Mr. Becky is the vice chairman. He was longer than us when he crossed the river. The French army came when he returned to Vietnam. There will be no problem with him."
"yes"
The big boss wants to transfer the battlefield, and the office is busy.
