Chapter 1380: The 'Lonely' Man
The U.S. military is now completely mired in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, which is of course the view of most people, but there are a group of people within the top level of the United States who do not see this issue that way.
Because these people know very well that this is a war with no hope of victory, and they are only using this war to deplete their old arsenals and nothing more.
And this war is not without benefits.
There was a lot of oil and gas in the areas controlled by the regime in South Vietnam, and the Americans naturally sent troops to get those benefits, so the right to exploit oil and gas naturally fell into their hands.
Originally, these rights belonged to the French.
However, because the French were crippled by the North Vietnamese army in World War I, a fierce wave of anti-war broke out in the country, so under the influence of many factors, they announced their withdrawal from Vietnam, leaving the mess to the Americans.
In this way, some of the rights and interests of the French in the regime in South Vietnam will naturally have to be taken over by the Americans, and it is impossible for the French to occupy the pit and do nothing.
Although the French would like to.
But how can there be such a good thing in this world?
Because the French fought wars in Vietnam for more than ten years, the domestic economy was depressed, and the living standards of the people fell sharply, which can be described as boiling public resentment.
After withdrawing from Vietnam this time, the current rulers of France are interested in developing their domestic economy.
But this thing is not as simple as talking, nor can it be done in a short period of time.
In addition, because France was fighting in Vietnam, it owed a lot of foreign debts, so it really can't spend much money on developing the domestic economy at the moment.
Therefore, the French had no choice but to be cheeky and seek out the Americans, hoping that the Americans could temporarily hand over the interests of the original French in Vietnam to the French.
I'm going!
How can Americans agree to such a thing, unless it is the Americans who are brainless.
Therefore, the matter was not discussed after all, and then it broke up unhappily.
Of course, the Americans did not fail to make a good offer, for example, the French could take out a loan from the United States.
But the French rejected this well-intentioned offer, and clung to the rights and interests left by the French in Vietnam, and they would continue to enjoy the rights and interests in life and death.
At the same time, the French also wanted to continue to hold power over the Panama Canal, and changed their original tone of begging the Americans to send troops to Vietnam, which seemed to be playing the Americans like monkeys.
But the Americans didn't give it for nothing.
How could it be so easy for the French to take back the power that they had already taken in their hands.
Especially the power of the Panama Canal.
You know, when the French begged the Americans to send troops, they promised that as long as the Americans sent troops to help, the power of the Panama Canal would be handed over to the Americans.
And the Americans did what they promised to send troops.
In these years, we must pay attention to a little integrity.
But the French are also in a hurry, and in the face of the mess of the domestic economy, the French are obviously going to be scoundrels now, and this momentum is really disgusting to the Americans.
However, no matter how the French play scoundrels, it is really impossible to ask the Americans to give away what they have in their hands anyway.
Therefore, although on the surface, the Americans and the French have nothing, but in private they have long been in trouble.
It's just that ordinary people, or people at a lower level, don't know about it.
But Kim Hyun-tae knows a lot about this.
After all, today's Kim Hyun-tae can be regarded as a member of the fringes of the American elite, so he can still hear a little bit of some secret news.
Not to mention that he still has Anne and Old George of the quasi-elite class by his side, so how could he not know such a thing.
It is precisely because he knows this secret that Kim Hyun-tae's backsliding behavior towards the French in another time and space is 110,000 disgusting.
On the Panamanian side, the French were unwilling to lose their interests and caused a shock behind their backs, which also attracted the intervention of the woolly bear, which made the originally stable situation in Panama very ruined.
So Kim Hyun-tae, who was still at West Point, was sent to Panama on a mission.
Fortunately, the Americans did not give it for nothing.
It only took a very short time, coupled with Kim Hyun-tae's money strategy, so he quickly stabilized the situation in Panama, suppressed those forces that were unclear with the French and had the support of Mao Xiong, and supported the American puppet to control Panama.
At the same time, he also held the power of the Panama Canal firmly in his hands.
And after the situation on the Panamanian side stabilized, the French began to stir up trouble in South Vietnam.
After all, the French colonized Vietnam for decades, and even now that they have withdrawn from Vietnam, they still have a huge network of relationships left behind, and at the same time, the deterrent effect has not disappeared.
Therefore, under the troubles of the French, the people in power in South Vietnam were really like a marquee.
Since the US military intervened in the Vietnam War, the people in charge of the regime in South Vietnam have changed a lot, and there are almost seven or eight people.
And it won't take long for these guys to be removed from power after they come to power, and then end up miserable.
The worst guy was simply overthrown by a coup d'état, and died in the armored car he was riding in in the process of escaping, and it is rumored that he was killed by dozens of shots from his own guards with automatic submachine guns, which can be described as miserable.
It can be seen from this that the regime in South Vietnam is in such a chaotic situation, and in such an unstable situation, what good results can the Americans achieve?
Pig teammates are dragging their feet too much.
Of course, the main reason why the regime in South Vietnam is in this way is because the French and Americans are fighting each other.
The French have some ambitions behind their backs, so that they continue to overthrow the people supported by the Americans, and when the French succeed, the Americans are not to be outdone and retaliate back, and the coming and going has become the current chaotic situation.
But the French are not stupid.
They certainly knew that doing so would definitely anger the Americans.
But they did it anyway.
It's just that the French did this mainly to make the Americans succumb and then agree to allow themselves to continue to enjoy the exploitation of the resources of the South Vietnamese regime, as a way to alleviate their own sluggish economy.
To tell the truth, in this matter, the French people in different time and space are a little too taken for granted.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Americans to admit it like this.
After all, the French did not know the real purpose of the Americans' intervention in the Vietnam War, so the French thought that they could force the Americans to comply.
If the French had known the real intentions of that handful of people at the top of the United States.
Then they should know that their wishful thinking will not work.
Therefore, it is no wonder that the North Vietnamese secret service team entered the territory controlled by the South Vietnamese as if it were no one, after all, how could the South Vietnamese, who were in such a chaotic situation, prevent the infiltration of those North Vietnamese agents.
After watching the news from Vietnam for more than an hour, Kim Hyun-tae turned off the monitor, got up and went to the bedroom on the second floor to rest.
The flight from Los Angeles to Washington is not short, so it's better to rest and get some sleep.
Anyway, there are some things that can be clearly known as long as you go to Washington and ask George Sr.
So Kim Hyun-tae didn't bother to spend his brain cells thinking about it anymore.
The A380 has set a course, and it sails steadily in the upper layers of the clouds, and because it is night, there is no viewing view.
Kim Hyun-tae, who came to the bedroom, came to the side of the porthole in the bedroom and opened the baffle of the porthole.
I don't know where the bright moon hung in the distance, and I don't know if it was because of the real flight in the air, so Kim Hyun-tae found that the bright moon was much bigger than it looked on the ground, and it was also much clearer, and even the outline of the moon's 'crater' could be seen with the naked eye.
There was a small wine cabinet in the bedroom, and Kim Hyun Tae walked over and took out a bottle of blue mint from the wine cabinet, took out a lot of ice from the refrigerator under the wine cabinet, and raised his hand to take a wine glass from the cup holder above.
There were a lot of expensive drinks in the wine cabinet, but Kim Hyun-tae was not interested in those wines at all, and his favorite and longest drink was the blue mint wine worth only seven or eight dollars a bottle in his hand.
It's hard to imagine that a rich man like Kim Hyun Tae, who has so much wealth, likes to drink so cheaply.
But there's really no way to say that.
After all, Kim Hyun-tae likes it, who can manage it.
Ice cubes, a small amount of mint wine, and a can of sweet soda, after a simple mix, this wine tastes similar to a drink, but it is very cool and refreshing, after all, it contains mint, so it can make people feel refreshed, maybe this is the reason why Kim Hyun-tae likes to drink blue mint wine.
After making the 'Kim's' mint cocktail, Kim Hyun-tae came to the chaise longue next to the porthole, leaned sideways and half-ponded, and drank a small sip with a wine glass in one hand, while looking sideways through the porthole at the bright moon in the distance.
Next to the chaise longue, there is a record player.
At this time, the record player was turned on when Kim Hyun-tae passed by, and a record had begun to turn slowly, and the magnetic voice of the female singer came out of the hidden speakers in the room.
This is Whitney's singing.
Who wouldn't be satisfied with sailing in the cabin bedroom in the air at night, drinking their favorite mint wine, admiring the moonlight in the distance, and listening to Whitney's blues rhythm.
However, Kim Hyun-tae, who looked sideways at the moonlight, looked a little sad.
In such a state, he is not usually shown.
It is only when he is alone that he takes off all pretense and shows his true self.
Once again, I thought of my wife.
Although Kim Hyun Tae now has everything that he didn't have in his previous life, he doesn't feel excited and excited, because there is no one to share it with him.
This is not Kim Hyun-tae's hypocrisy.
If you don't have someone who has loved you deeply, you won't understand why Kim Hyun-tae is like this.
"Now my daughter and I are fine, Coco doesn't have to worry about material things in the future, and our daughter has become so powerful now, no one will dare to bully her in the future......"
Kim Hyun-tae muttered to himself, looking a little silly.
But as he spoke, two tear streaks appeared on his face.
"But I miss you so much. ”
