Even in Vietnam in winter, the climate is still wet and hot.

Since the Allies declared war on China, the atmosphere in Vietnam began to become subtle. The Indochina Federation, which operated behind the scenes of France, also declared war on China, but the central Vietnam, which still maintained its position of dominance in the name of the Vietnamese king, did not follow suit, choose to start a war position.

The Governor of the Indochina Federation did not force the Vietnamese king to declare war on China. Just as the British did, for the French whose territory had been lost, the few colonies in the Far East could be regarded as a key barrier to support the frontline. If it was just because Japan and China were fighting hard, it would be a big deal to vent their anger on China and send troops to attack Vietnam.

It is precisely because of the French government's attitude that Vietnam is now in a dual situation where it declares war without declaring war.

For China, there is not much concern about this. As long as the French do not intend to truly deepen the Sino-French conflict and maintain the current situation, it will be beneficial to both sides.

Many trading companies in China need Vietnam as a springboard to sell goods to South Asia and beyond. France also needs to ensure the trade activity of the Indochina Federation to provide more support to local wars.

After years of development, Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company has become well-known throughout South Asia. Later Asian economists and historians will not hesitate to recognize that it was Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company that took four years to develop Renhua Town into a famous South Asian seaport Renhua Port. Almost all countries in South Asia must pass the threshold of Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company if they want to enter the Chinese market.

From being just a trade channel at the beginning, to being directly involved in trade transactions, to now becoming a large industrial chain that integrates independent development, market integration and full trade development, and takes into account the comprehensive markets such as industry, agriculture, and military industries, Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company is no longer just a company, but a group business model.

Since the Tokyo Ruan Family Incident in April, Zhang Shengting has really worried about foreign-related companies.

For this reason, Cen Chunxuan specially sent a specialist from Nanjing to Vietnam. While opening up the local relations between Vietnam and coordinating the French relations, he spent a considerable amount of money on the top and bottom of the tables, but fortunately, he stabilized the matter.

Cen Chun was not sure how much property the Ruan family in Tokyo was, but the total output value of Zhang Shengting’s foreign-related companies is now as much as one-sixth of Vietnam’s annual tax revenue. If the French used tough measures to plunder Zhang Shengting’s foreign-related companies, the profits they would definitely not be small, and they would be able to provide support to the local battlefield.

Nowadays, strictly speaking, the situation in Vietnam is still not improving, it is just in an ambiguous state.

It is obvious that the Indochina Federal Governor was still hesitating and did not dare to underestimate China's military threat. You should know that there was an army in Yunnan pressing on the border, which surprised the federal Governor even more. Just one month after the Nguyen Family Incident in Tokyo, China actually transferred an army from Vietnam.

God knows how long this army has been hiding in Vietnam, and it is not certain whether there is still a Chinese team in the deep mountains and forests of Vietnam, or the so-called bandits and robbers. If it is not done well, it is just a cover for the Chinese team.

If China is really annoying, I don’t know how long the Indochina Federation will last.

Renhua Port has become a famous city of China today, and it is one of the few cities in Vietnam where Chinese people have a higher status than blonde and blue-eyed foreigners. Since the Allies declared war on China, China has abolished all diplomatic institutions in Vietnam, but it has retained a "Chinese Overseas Chinese Business Association" in Renhua Port, and it was Tang Shaoyi who served as the president.

The newly built "Little Zhonghuamen Street" located by the sea is the most prosperous street in Renhua Port. The magnificent office building of the Overseas Chinese Business Association stands in front of "Little Zhonghuamen Street".

A Shengshi brand sedan drove from a distance and turned into Xiaozhonghuamen Street next to the coastal avenue. The front of the sedan was hung with the five-color flag of the Republic of China and the meeting flag of Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company, which is a typical special vehicle for Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company. Although the new headquarters building of Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company is also located on Xiaozhonghuamen Street, there are many other branches outside the inner city of Renhua Port City, and the car obviously just came in from outside the city.

The car went straight to the Chinese Overseas Chinese Business Association building and stopped. After the car door opened, two people hurriedly walked out from inside, and walked one after another to the steps in front of the General Chamber of Commerce building.

When they arrived at the hall, several Vietnamese receptionists were about to come forward to welcome him, but the two ignored the receptionists and walked straight to the spiral stairs and soon arrived at the second floor. The receptionists knew these two people and understood that they were coming to the president of the Chamber of Commerce. They immediately notified upstairs by phone.

The secretary of Tang Shaoyi's office came to the public lounge on the second floor to wait. After seeing the two, he hurriedly greeted the middle-aged man in front and said, "Mr. Chen is here, President Tang is having a meeting upstairs. Please wait for a while."

Mr. Chen's name is Chen Jinsheng, and he is the security supervisor of Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company. In fact, the so-called security department of Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company combines the multiple functions of company security, local mercenaries and Chinese intelligence units. Therefore, Chen Jinsheng has always been an important figure in China in Vietnam, and this is no longer limited to Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company.

"If there is something important, I must meet President Tang immediately and be sure to ask him to come down immediately." Chen Jinsheng's expression was not angry and powerful, and he was not dragging his mind at all when he spoke.

"Is this really necessary now?" The secretary of course knew that it was not important. Chen Jinsheng would not ask such a request, but considering that Tang Shaoyi's current meeting is also very important, he tried to ask.

"No, this is a matter of life and death. Do you understand?" Chen Jinsheng said seriously with a stern face.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I'll go now. Please wait in the office for a while." The secretary did not dare to be negligent, and immediately followed the stairs to the third floor after he finished speaking.

Chen Jinsheng waited for a while in Tang Shaoyi's office, and soon Tang Shaoyi pushed the door open and entered.

After meeting Chen Jinsheng, Tang Shaoyi asked intently: "Mr. Chen, what is the important thing?"

Chen Jinsheng signaled his entourage, and the entourage immediately walked out of the door, closed the door and guarded outside the door. At this time, he said to Tang Shaoyi: "The Hanoi station intercepted the French's secret telegram, and the Sino-Germany Covenant has been leaked. The Allies are preparing to increase the sanctions on China, and there is a high possibility that war will begin."

Tang Shaoyi was stunned. He was frightened when he heard the leak of the Sino-German Covenant. It was because of the Qingyuan Conference that caused a leak of the Sino-German Covenant, and it was him who brought out the copy of the Sino-German Covenant. At this time, Chad really had a re-introduction of the old story when he heard it.

He asked quickly: "How is this possible? How did it leak the secret?"

Chen Jinsheng shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but this matter is no longer a secret. The Germans can leak the secrets. The Allies may not believe it. In short, China-Germany relations are getting closer and closer. European foreigners are not fools. Paper cannot cover the fire, and sooner or later it will lead to suspicion."

Tang Shaoyi sighed and then said, "If this is true, I'm afraid the French will take action against us. We China had always denied the Sino-German alliance before, but now that the Allies have learned about it, the meaning is very different."

Chen Jinsheng nodded and said, "That's right. Our Ministry of Security has held an emergency meeting just now and contacted Kunming. Zhang Shengting's company must transfer all funds in Vietnam immediately. As for real estate, it can be temporarily entrusted to a local Vietnamese company to manage it. If it really doesn't work, it won't take care of that much."

Tang Shaoyi thought about it carefully and said with a look of discomfort: "I'm afraid this will not be done in a short time. I was just discussing cooperation with several major merchants in Nanyang, and they are preparing to invest millions of dollars in Vietnam. Now, if you withdraw Zhang Shengting's company, there will be too many difficulties."

After a pause, he turned and asked, "The French are about to attack us?"

Of course, Chen Jinsheng understood what Tang Shaoyi meant, and was simply hoping that the French would not take measures immediately. He said solemnly: "Although I have not heard any rumors now, I must not tolerate this matter. Zhang Shengting's company's funds are an important property, and I can't afford to take any mistakes."

Tang Shaoyi said calmly: "I understand naturally."

Chen Jinsheng continued: "Zhang Shengting's company's assets will be transferred to China through the General Chamber of Commerce in the near future, but on the surface, it still needs to be done, not too obvious and too deliberate. Besides, this may not be a long-term evacuation. As long as our army can fight back, Zhang Shengting's company can still make a comeback."

Tang Shaoyi nodded and said, "I will arrange these things as soon as possible."

Chen Jinsheng then said: "As Mr. Tang said, this is not something that can be done in one or two days. In order to deal with emergencies, we decided to launch the 'red plan'. Once something really happens, Mr. Tang, you should know what to do."

Tang Shaoyi of course knew the content of the "Red Plan", which is a high-risk warning plan. Zhang Shengting's foreign-related company security department will activate all armed personnel hidden in Vietnam, including hidden agents, miniature troops hiding in the mountains, and local Vietnamese armed forces that have been bribed. These armed personnel will ensure the safety of Chinese citizens in Vietnam as much as possible, and cover up the retreat of Chinese citizens when war breaks out, and assist the Chinese team in dealing with France and its affiliated troops.

After the explanation was completed, Chen Jinsheng did not stop at any time and said goodbye and left directly.

Tang Shaoyi did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately began to deal with the transfer of Zhang Shengting's company's assets.
