Letters to Luong the Hidden Lion: #3
Dear Luong,
I heard you decided to run for President of Vietnam after all. I'm just visiting, though. Can I ask you what prompted that decision? Also, why are you the Hidden Lion? We can see you clear as crystal.
Sincerely,
Giles Keaton, age 39 (rhino)

Dear Giles,
Thank you for writing to me. I decided to run for President of Vietnam because many Vietnamese expressed desires for a better future and how much they want to be more like the west, especially America.
Chuong has been to France, Germany, Denmark, and the United States on several occasions and often spoke to me about what the west has. We recently returned from CES and discovered all the innovations America had there on display. With Leo the Patriotic Lion being your President, I felt compelled that I can leverage our connections to Vietnam's benefit should I become President there.
I also wanted to get rid of pointless laws, such as the Cinderella Law, because the responsibility of managing children falls on their parents and they do the best jobs in managing their lives. The government's role is to protect their people and their rights first. Because of that, I want to enact privacy laws in Vietnam because we do not have a clear boundary between the people and the government.
Chuong did point out how authoritarian Vietnam can be, and I sympathize with him on this. He also pointed out how in Taiwan and Japan, they do a better job maintaining their people's freedoms than we do. He also pointed out how their economic policies made it easier for their people to generate wealth through small businesses as well. I'll have to look into Japan's and Taiwan's economic and political policies and see how they can be applied in Vietnam since our government has been looking for ideas from overseas.
Should Vietnam continue to be an authoritarian nation for some reason, I rather let it be only as authoritarian as Singapore because their laws are easily defined complete with boundaries set between the people and their government. As for why I am called Luong the Hidden Lion, it's because of my combat style. When my enemies engage against me, my first act is to remain hidden. Vietnam has jungles, and such an environment is easy for me to hide in so I can ambush my enemies.
My Finnish counterpart is Leku the Silent Lion, but he does speak. He's named that way because when he engages in combat against his enemies in Finland, he remains silent and hides in the Finnish forests. He's also a sniper and Finnish snipers are known to master the art of silence so they can capture their enemies in their forest. If you heard about Simo Häyhä, you would know how he was able to take down an entire Soviet force in the Finnish forest by remaining perfectly silent in combat all by himself.
I hope you find this letter helpful in answering your questions. If not, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Gen. Luong Nguyen, a.k.a. Luong the Hidden Lion

Chuong: That's a great response! I hope to see more innovative technologies in Vietnam! I just want to experience some actual freedom for once. I want to see actual results from Luong's administration. After all, Luong said he will make Vietnam be more like Leo's America. We could use more of Amazon's business too as part of that.
Zax: Simo Häyhä? They also call him White Death too. Soviets sent out tanks and still lost to a human snowman, who even captured them too. Leonid must've been super furious that Russia lost at least like what, 500 troops, to one snowman with a cheap rifle.
Jack: And because of that, Finland's snipers are among the deadliest snipers on Earth to this day making sure that nothing illegal or anything from the enemy passes through their forests alive.
Juno: Legends say that any enemy who has seen Leku in Finland's forests never left. To think that Finland's deadliest human was Simo Häyhä is rather quite scary. But at least he saved Finland from communism, lived to be over a hundred years old, has a song dedicated to him from a band named Sabaton. That is very impressive for Finland. No wonder why Leku seems to be rather happy these days and doesn't seem to have much to worry about.
Konrad: When the trees speak Vietnamese or the snow speaks Finnish, you're screwed.

Luong: Thank you, Chuong. I want to do the best I can for my country.
Leonid: I can confirm for you that I was furious at the news you mentioned, but I was all caught up in the melodrama at the time, so what else was new? On the other hand, I'm equally impressed at seeing and reading stories about how that sort of thing happens. It takes a lot of guts to take on a ton of people all by yourself, and, as you said, he wasn't even using a fancy weapon. It was just a basic rifle.
Leku: Those legends are true, I'm here to confirm. It was all for defending our country, however.
Leo: Did Simo live to be 100? I didn't know that.
