Chapter 374: Indochina Federation

There are very few selfless people, and when they encounter problems, of course, they must first consider the problem from their own point of view, and for the country, it is the same, any country must consider the absolute interests of its own country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So, from this point of view, the Vietnamese also have their own "bitterness".

For many years, even Ho Chi Minh, who is called the father of the nation by Vietnam, has been dreaming of a federation of the Indochina Peninsula. And this so-called Indochina refers to the French colony of French Indochina in the old era, which is now Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

Historically, Vietnam has indeed been the ruler of Indochina. More than 1,000 years ago, when Vietnam broke away from Chinese rule, it occupied only one Xiang County in China, which is now the area of Hanoi in Vietnam. After that, the Vietnamese continued to expand westward and southward, destroying an ancient civilization and swallowing half of Cambodia, expanding Vietnam's territory by four times. By the 19th century, all of Cambodia plus Laos was under the rule of the Nguyen dynasty in Vietnam.

And in the Nguyen Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty, in the early days were also quite powerful, just like the Qing Dynasty, in the later period, the national power declined, first could not defeat France, was forced to withdraw from Cambodia, and then Vietnam itself was also occupied by France.

These histories have given the Vietnamese people a feeling that they always think that the real Vietnam should include Cambodia and Laos. Therefore, the leaders of Vietnam have always dreamed of restoring the Federation of the Indochina Peninsula and letting the Vietnamese themselves rule the entire "Indochina Peninsula."

Unfortunately, this is not possible. If any country, the most powerful territory in history, thinks that it is the territory it should have now, then the whole world will be in chaos. One example of modern success is Israel, which has lived in Palestine and wants to build its own state from there.

And now, Cambodia is in the midst of civil strife, and Prince Sihanouk is also under house arrest in the Cambodian capital. In fact, since the 70s, Cambodia has been in the midst of civil strife, first in March 70, Minister Lon Nol staged a coup d'état, Sihanouk was forced into exile in China. And Huaxia has always reiterated that Sihanouk is the legitimate leader of Cambodia. After that, Sihanouk formed a government in exile called the "National Coalition Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia" with the help of Chinese forces. Formed a united front with the Cambodian Communist Party Pol Pot. In 75 years, the Khmer Rouge of the Cambodian Communist Party occupied the entire territory of Cambodia, and the Lon Nol regime collapsed. Sihanouk, in his capacity as head of state, proclaimed the establishment of the communist state of Democratic Kampuchea and returned to Cambodia.

Unfortunately, Sihanouk regretted it later, the Khmer Rouge only needed Sihanouk's name, and he not only had no real power, but was even placed under house arrest in the palace. His five sons and 14 grandsons were tortured and killed in the process, and if it weren't for the Huaxia government's pressure on the Pol Pot government, Sihanouk would probably have been gone.

Cambodia under the rule of the Khmer Rouge was also in chaos, with people in exile, reduced food production, and state power on the verge of collapse.

It was in this context that Vietnam brazenly launched an invasion of Cambodia! Although it was not instructed by the Soviet Union, however, Vietnam could not wait! The dream of the Federation of Indochina made the Vietnamese government take a risk, and Vietnam even drove away the United States, making it more confident in facing the weak China!

"We can't compromise with the Vietnamese government!" After careful consideration, Deng Gong said calmly: "Vietnam is challenging our bottom line!" If we don't do anything, we will lose our voice in Southeast Asia, and we must teach the Vietnamese a profound lesson! ”

Vietnam is testing to see if Huaxia is determined to teach them a lesson, and in this case, Huaxia will raise his fist and beat these monkeys fiercely!

"Deng Gong, what we need most now is to consider the attitude of the Soviet side first." The Minister of Defense said to Deng Gong.

With millions of troops in China, it is easy to clean up the Vietnamese monkeys, but before teaching the Vietnamese monkeys a lesson, it is necessary to know the attitude of the Soviet side! After all, relations between China and the Soviet Union have just eased, the troops of the two sides in the border areas are gradually withdrawing, ending the confrontation, the national border is also being defined, and the Soviet Union's MiG-23 fighters have also been sold to China, and the attitude of the Soviet Union is very important.

Because the Soviets have always supported Vietnam! Vietnam was able to turn its face with China after driving out the Americans, also because the master behind it was the Soviet Union! Therefore, if China wants to strike at Vietnam, it must inform the Soviet side!

The relationship between countries is complicated, and as a leader, you must have an overall strategic grasp, and the slightest carelessness may trigger a series of reactions.

"Yes, if we want to teach Vietnam a lesson, we must first inform our Soviet friends." Deng Gong said. First of all, we must test the reaction of the Soviet Union, after all, Vietnam is the little brother of the Soviet Union.

If the Soviet Union does not react strongly, then its own side will intervene militarily, let the Vietnamese monkeys be honest, and if the Soviet Union reacts strongly, then continue to talk, there is always a solution.

The voice from the top of Huaxia, through the airwaves, came to Moscow, got the news, and Andropov attached great importance to it.

"Vietnam has always been oriented towards us, and now, we can't sit idly by and watch China teach Vietnam a lesson." "At the same time, this is also an opportunity to show our influence, and we will put pressure on Huaxia to cancel this plan, so that Vietnam will be more obedient to us," Marshal Ogarkov said. ”

In terms of military science and technology, Marshal Ogarkov is indeed forward-looking, but in terms of national strategy, Marshal Ogarkov is a little worse, and Andrei, who attended the meeting as an observer, originally did not have any opportunity to speak, so now he just quietly listens to the speeches of these big people.

"We encircled Vietnam in order to deal with the United States, and we exported so many weapons and ammunition to fight the United States, and after that, we continued to support Vietnam in order to balance China, and now, our relations with China have eased, and Vietnam is no longer important to us." Ustinov said: "If Huaxia wants to teach Vietnam a lesson, let Huaxia do it, and we can also see what the level of the Chinese people is." ”

Ustinov's meaning is that it is none of his business, hang high, and by the way, look at the millions of troops in China, the outdated equipment, and the combat effectiveness.

The usefulness of Vietnam for the USSR was to gain a foothold in Asia! And now, with the island country, Vietnam's position in the Soviet strategy has greatly declined! (To be continued.) )
