The members of the temporary leadership team of the strike team are basically political prisoners from the S-21 concentration camp.
After the Cambodian royal family was overthrown, many political parties have been established in Cambodia in the past decade or so, each with its own opinions and propositions.
The last time, after Xie Wan rescued these people, they were still able to respect Princess Udia and Ambassador Sun Hao. It was completely forced by the situation.
But after Xie Wan left, these people entered the Cardamom Mountains and had differences of opinion.
Some people advocated ignoring the Khmer Rouge for the time being, and first developing their influence in rural and mountainous areas, forming a resistance force, and then dealing with the Vietnamese army.
Another group of people believed that in order to resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the country and that they should overthrow Pol Pot’s brutal rule while he was fighting the Vietnamese army and had no time to spare, and then fight against the Vietnamese army.
Princess Udia and Ambassador Sun Hao agreed that all Cambodia's strength should be concentrated to fight the foreign enemy first.
Princess Udia, despite her illness, was even willing to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of negotiating with the Khmer Rouge.
As long as the Khmer Rouge stopped arresting other political parties and forces in Cambodia, she was willing to persuade other political parties and forces to cooperate with the Khmer Rouge to fight against foreign invasion.
No one expected that some people represented by Rayam of the Labor Party would launch an internal struggle, control Princess Udiya and her husband Som Deva, and seize the leadership.
Our diplomats who helped them escape from the S-21 concentration camp were also placed under house arrest by this group of people.
At this time, seeing Xie Wanfa's telegram, these people panicked.
They knew that if Xie Wan came back, they would have almost no chance of winning.
Are you kidding? Phnom Penh is Pol Pot's base camp with tens of thousands of troops stationed there. They can come and go freely as if they were in an empty place. How can they fight against them with only more than 10,000 of them and a temporary team composed of some civilians just recruited from nearby, who don't even have a few guns?
The emotions that had just swelled up deflated.
"Layam, why don't you go and ask Mr. Sun to come over to discuss this first?"
"Yes, Layam, we cannot fight against the Chinese goddess of war. If she finds us and knows that we have Mr. Sun under house arrest, she will definitely kill us."
Layam was unwilling to lose the leadership he had just obtained, so he suppressed his fear and insisted, "What are you afraid of? Hasn't China always claimed not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries?
Our current unity and joint leadership group was formed by everyone's vote and has nothing to do with the Chinese people.
Besides, transportation and communications are paralyzed everywhere now. How can she find us easily?
Even if she finds it, she must respect our wishes and not interfere in Cambodia’s internal affairs.”
In the end, under Layam's intimidation, these people fell silent and chose to remain silent.
But after the meeting, some neutral factions secretly went to the place where Chinese diplomats were detained and released Sun Hao and others.
"Mr. Sun, I'm sorry, your agents may have already entered the country to pick you up.
You guys should leave quietly.”
These neutral parties really did not want to offend the Chinese ambassador. They were afraid that if Xie Wan came to kill them, they would lose their lives. They could not convince Layam and his gang, so they had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
They were prepared to release Sun Hao and his group to give face to the Chinese diplomats.
Lin Dawei, the military attaché who had been accompanying Sun Hao, had had enough of the humiliation these days. When he heard that our agents had entered the country, he immediately perked up and snorted coldly, "Why don't you tie us up again? If we don't leave, I will wait here and see what you dare to do to me.
If you dare to kill me, I will admit defeat.
A small country like Vietnam can beat you into a pulp. If I die, you can just wait to become slaves of a conquered nation!"
In fact, without Xie Wan, these people would not dare to touch China's diplomats.
Although Cambodia has never been a vassal state of my country in history, it has established friendly exchanges with my country's Eastern Han Dynasty since the Funan Dynasty.
Cambodians have always known that the country to their north is not easy to mess with.
Sun Hao doesn't want to leave now.
He made a request: "If you want to release them, please release Princess Udia's family as well and let them go with us."
The other party disagreed with this request no matter what.
During the stalemate between the two sides, Layam's men were alarmed, and as a result, Sun Hao and his men were imprisoned again.
Sun Hao and Lin Dawei had already understood from each other's argument that the person who came was Xie Wan.
They returned calmly to the room where they were imprisoned.
“Instead of going out and hiding, we might as well wait for Major Xie here peacefully.
Major Xie is a man of his word, and I estimate that she will be able to find us within two days."
Comrade Xie Wan, who was placed with high hopes, did not disappoint Ambassador Sun and Lin Dawei.
She released Xiao Diao and Xiao Zhi, and asked the adult white-tailed sea eagle to take His Majesty the Rat Emperor out for reconnaissance.
The four of them set up camp in Doukou Mountain and waited for news.
In less than half a day, Xiao Diao flew back carrying Xiao Zhi.
Knowing that a large number of people had gathered in the small town of Luowen outside the mountain with guns, Xie Wan was basically certain that they were the group of people who came out of the S-21 concentration camp.
"I thought they had already taken over Pusa City, but they've only just reached Luowen Town. Come on, it's time for us to set off."
Xie Wan came out of the makeshift shack, patted Xu Bing who was guarding the door and said.
