Xie Wan jumped down from the cockpit with a look of disgust on his face: "It seems that we need to strengthen our training in the future!"
The team members were ashamed; they felt despised by the director.
Eleven grown men couldn't even outrun a female soldier in a forced march. How shameful!
Jiang Duanwu took a look at the military truck and asked, "Director, this type of truck was produced by the UK ten years ago specifically to adapt to the complex terrain and climate of the South Asian subcontinent. It has only appeared in India and Bangladesh. How come there is one in Cambodia? Where did you get it from?"
There is a weapons expert in the team, and he can trace the origin of any equipment you take out.
Xie Wan said without any guilt: "It should be that the Khmer Rouge secretly accepted assistance from the United States and Britain."
With this explanation, everyone was convinced.
On the South Asian subcontinent, on the surface, it is the five South Asian countries that are fighting each other, but in reality it is Britain, the United States and the Russians who are stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
Because my country has border issues with many South Asian countries, and Britain, the United States and the Russians are all wary of my country as a new Asian force, it is inevitable that it will be involved in the South Asian disputes.
Our country has close relations with the "National Unity Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia" and supports Cambodia in maintaining its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In March 1970, pro-American general Lon Nol launched a coup with the support of the United States, and Cambodian King Sihanouk went into exile in Beijing.
In 1970, the "National Unity Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia" was established in Beijing, joining the Khmer Rouge to fight against the Lon Nol regime, but its actual power was gradually hollowed out by the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot.
The Khmer Rouge was formerly the "Cambodian Branch of the Communist Party of Indochina". It was renamed the "Communist Party of Cambodia" in 1966. After overthrowing the US-backed Lon Nol regime in 1975, it established the "Democratic Kampuchea" regime.
The name "Khmer Rouge" was proposed by Prince Sihanouk and later became the common name used by the international community.
Pol Pot, the core leader of the Khmer Rouge, studied in France and was influenced by radical left-wing ideas. He advocated the establishment of a "pure communist society" through violent revolution.
Since the Khmer Rouge captured Phnom Penh in 1975, they have implemented extreme terrorist rule in Cambodia.
They used the excuse of "preventing US bombing" to forcibly evacuate about 3 million people from Phnom Penh and other cities to rural areas, resulting in a large number of people dying from hunger, disease and execution. Phnom Penh became an "empty city" within four days.
Due to the hostile relationship, the Khmer Rouge was not close to anyone, and their thinking was more like a group of thugs. However, in order to cover up the source of his equipment, Xie Wan said that they were close to the United States and Britain, and no one would doubt it.
Anyway, South Asia is a mess nowadays, and anyone can get involved.
When the military truck arrived outside Phnom Penh, it could see barbed wire and roadblocks from afar.
"Director, shall we rush over?" asked Jiang Duanwu who was driving.
Xie Wan thought for a moment and said, “No, you guys wait outside the city. If too many people go into the city, it will alert the Khmer Rouge.
Now they may not know about the upcoming Vietnamese raid.
I will take Wang Hanlin and Zhou Chuang into the city to pick them up, and you will meet them outside the city."
Xie Wan didn't want to fight a war with the Khmer Rouge at this time. It would be more cost-effective to keep them to deal with the Vietnamese army.
The three got out of the car and after agreeing with other team members on reinforcement and response signals, Xie Wan, Wang Hanlin and Zhou Chuang disappeared into the darkness.
Phnom Penh in the darkness concealed its cold atmosphere under the rule of terrorism. Wang Hanlin quickly determined the direction. After passing through a dozen military checkpoints, the three finally arrived at the location of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia.
Thick curtains were hung on all the windows of the French-style villa, making it as dark as the surrounding buildings.
The surrounding walls had been forcibly destroyed, leaving only some shabby wooden fences to enclose the small building.
The three of them climbed over the wooden fence. Xie Wan winked at Zhou Chuang, who reached his hand into the iron gate welded with iron pipes and knocked on the small red door inside.
After three long and two short knocks on the door, the red wooden door opened a crack from the inside.
Zhou Chuang handed in his ID, the door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses said excitedly, "Comrades, please come in."
When Xie Wan entered the small building, he found that it was brightly lit.
The man with glasses held out his hand, "I'm Sun Hao."
Xie Wan knew that this was our ambassador to Cambodia, and gave a standard military salute: "Xie Wan, Director of the Special Affairs Office in Hong Kong, has been ordered to escort the comrades of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia to evacuate safely."
It was not until the evening of this day that Sun Hao received a notification from home and learned about the Vietnamese army's surprise attack. He was very surprised. He did not expect that the contact people had arrived in just six hours.
“Comrade Xie Wan, we can’t leave now.
The military attaché has already taken people out to inform others.
We have to stay and organize the evacuation.”
Xie Wanlai had already guessed that this was the case before he came.
She said: "The ambassador should be notified and everyone should go to the port of Kampong Som to meet up. The ambassador and other embassy staff, please leave Phnom Penh as soon as possible."
Sun Hao nodded: "Yes, the military attaché will notify everyone to meet up at Kompong Som. After I finish talking to Pol Pot, the newspapers will also publish the news that the overseas Chinese should evacuate. Three days, give me three days.
Director Xie, you can take some people away first.
I still need to communicate with the Khmer Rouge about some things.”
Xie Wan frowned. In her previous life, she had only paid attention to the Sino-Vietnamese Self-Defense Counterattack War. Her knowledge of the war in Cambodia only came from a little bit of information mentioned in the books about the Vietnam War.
She remembered that the book once mentioned that the staff of the Chinese embassy in Cambodia at that time, for some reason, ended up staying in Cambodia and lived in exile for eight years.
