Although she didn't know much about the leader of the Khmer Rouge, she had a vague impression from her previous life that Pol Pot's ideas seemed extremely cruel.
Xie Wan was very worried whether they would be able to escape after Sun Hao went to inform Pol Pot.
Wouldn't Pol Pot have thought of detaining Chinese as hostages to force my country to increase its aid to the Khmer Rouge, or even force my country to join the war?
Xie Wan had no right to interfere with the decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her mission was only to protect them.
After discussion, Sun Hao agreed to let some of the embassy's logistics staff leave first, and gave Xie Wan an address, asking her to be responsible for picking up the aid experts from Phnom Penh.
After Xie Wan got the evacuation list, he and Wang Hanlin and Zhou Chuang first picked up the experts and engineers in the city.
When we returned to the embassy, the embassy staff had already packed up the important equipment and luggage and destroyed most of the documents.
Sun Hao handed Xie Wan a suitcase and said, "If this box of important documents can be brought back to China, please Director Xie take them back to China.
If not, please destroy them all.”
Xie Wan took a look at the small suitcase and promised Sun Hao that he would definitely do it.
It was not until nine o'clock in the morning that two vehicles with the five-star red flag left the embassy.
One drove towards the Khmer Rouge headquarters on the street, and the other drove out of the city.
In the morning light, Xie Wancai could clearly see this completely militarized and empty city. There were no pedestrians on the streets. The only human atmosphere was the slogans against colonial rule painted on the walls on both sides of the street.
We encountered inspection when leaving the city, but because of diplomatic immunity, our vehicle was not checked too much.
The first group of embassy staff left the city, and Xie Wan only sent two team members to escort them to Kompong Som Port.
This group of people are the first to leave, and theoretically they will not encounter any danger.
They also had tasks along the way. After arriving at the port of Kompong Som, they had to organize the overseas Chinese who had arrived one after another to wait for the ship.
Xie Wan also arranged for other team members to go and pick up experts and engineers near Phnom Penh. After picking them up, they went to meet up at Kompong Som Port.
One team member asked worriedly, "Director, aren't you going with us?"
Xie Wan nodded: "I must stay to protect the remaining embassy staff.
I will meet you as soon as possible in three days."
