622 Situation

Britain and France chose to huddle together to keep warm, believing that together they could offset the strong intervention of the United States. Of course www.biquge.info we all know that this kind of thinking is extremely naïve, and it is impossible for the Americans to make concessions, and Britain and France do not have the strength to force the United States to make concessions. The result is naturally self-evident, what should the Americans do, and the British and French can only stare dryly.

In this case, Attlee also knew that the tide had turned, and it was impossible to continue to maintain his rule in Egypt, so Attlee had no choice but to admit defeat and seek to continue to maintain the management of the Suez Canal.

In the final analysis, this is still naïve, the reason why the Americans attacked Egypt do you think it is really for the cause of Egypt's democracy and freedom? If the Americans are so fraternal, why don't they go to Black Africa to start this business? In the final analysis, the goal of the Americans is still the Suez Canal, and only the Suez Canal is the most valuable in Egypt at this time. Taking control of the Suez Canal is equivalent to controlling the oil lifeline from the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Arabian Sea to the Mediterranean. After such a great effort, the Suez Canal is still in the hands of the British, and it was not done in vain!

So Nasser finished the government. After the change, the first article announced that all foreign troops stationed on Egyptian soil would be expelled, and the second article was announced that the Suez Canal would be nationalized. It's tantamount to telling the British neatly that you don't have any fun at all!

Well, Attlee was frustrated, and he thought of one solution after another, but none of them worked, and it only made the situation worse and worse. By now, he had no tricks at all.

In January 1948, when Britain, which had occupied Egypt for nearly 100 years, announced the withdrawal of its troops from Egypt, a journalist wrote at the time: "The Nazis did not drive us out of Egypt, but the Americans drove us away, this is the so-called allies!" ”

It can be seen that the British are angry and resentful towards the United States, but what if you are not happy with the Americans? Are you really the British Empire back then, and you still put on a face with the shelf of a lord? Phew!

The British are gone, and their departure means the complete collapse of the old order in the Middle East, which took shape for nearly a hundred years, and replaced by a new one. And the dominance of this new order was replaced by the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Americans, in particular, were not reconciled after their successful entry into Egypt, and their clutches began to radiate to the periphery, followed by the British, who were unlucky. Soon the situation in Syria was also volatile, with a pattern almost identical to that in Egypt, where the old regime was quickly overthrown and new proxies planted by the United States were immediately introduced.

To be honest, the French were hurt, and although they had helped the British to shout a few times, they did not have a substantial impact on the American seizure of Egypt. But who would have thought that the Americans' vindictiveness is so strong, and if they don't follow his baton, then the Americans will naturally use the big stick to teach you how to behave.

It can only be said that France is also too stupid, and they, like the British, have not come out of the glory of the first world war. I thought I was awesome, and I thought I could keep the colony. But judging by France's performance in World War II, is he worthy of a big hooligan seat? The only one who could still be a big hooligan after declaring defeat was France. However, you can't let the Gallic chicken pick up the cheap because of the infighting between several other big hooligans, and you still have no self-knowledge, thinking that you can still be as powerful as before, which is a typical ignorance of current affairs.

Just one point, how can you, France, still possess these colonies? Anyway, the Americans don't think the French have this face. So this stick was also beaten quite hard, almost making the Gallic chickens bloody.

In just a few months, Britain and France have suffered heavy setbacks in the Middle East, which is a clear signal for the Middle East's oil bosses, which means that the Middle East has changed. The most typical example is the Saudis, who were prepared to continue to pay protection money to the British and were ready to buy a large number of British arms. But after the Egypt and Syria incidents, Saudi Arabia immediately changed its mind and took half of the original cost of purchasing British arms and switched to purchasing American arms.

If you see it or not, this is called knowing the current affairs and being smart. The United States is also very satisfied with Saudi Arabia's attitude, and praised Saudi Arabia by name, almost saying that Saudi Arabia is a beacon in the Middle East.

And this is typical international politics, although the British are very unhappy, but there is no way to choose Saudi Arabia, and they can't even blame it, at most, they just sour a few words in the newspaper that Saudi Arabia is a white-eyed wolf.

All this has little to do with the Soviet Union for the time being, and the Soviet Union is not ready to continue to settle in the Middle East for the time being, and the Soviet Union has taken advantage of Turkey and Israel enough, and if it gains an inch, Britain, the United States and France will join forces to slap in the face. Therefore, the focus of Li Xiaofeng's work has shifted to China, which has just restored peace, and if China wants to truly become a good brother of the Soviet Union, it is necessary to transform this backward agricultural country.

Li Xiaofeng helped Huaxia a considerable amount in this regard, not only by obtaining a loan of $100 million for Huaxia in the Soviet Union, but also by helping to formulate the first five-year development plan. In this plan, the Soviet Union will help China to establish several hundred industrial enterprises, so that China can initially industrialize. If, five years later, the economy of the Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe improves, the Soviet Union will further increase its loans to China and strive to initially lay a good foundation for China's industrialization within the three five-year plans.

This plan was quite grandiose, and the achievements that followed were also astonishing, and in just over a decade China was transformed from a poor and white agricultural country into a country with a certain industrial base. In the future, as long as the leaders do not lose their brains and self-defeating martial arts, the speed of development is just around the corner.

The Soviet Union was not only concerned with one Chinese issue, for example, Sverdlov focused on the Vietnamese upper position Ho Chi Minh and won more generous aid. With the massive influx of money, weapons, and Soviet advisers into northern Vietnam, the whole of North Vietnam was turned upside down.

The situation of the French was becoming more and more severe day by day, and they could not stay for a day because they were somewhat nervous from the guerrilla warfare, so they could only retreat to South Vietnam in disarray. Even in South Vietnam, they have a hard time getting along with each other, and the Americans have long coveted the Indochina Peninsula and wanted to enter a region. Before and after World War I, Britain and France were in collusion, and the United States had no way, and now even if Britain and France join hands, he is not afraid, so he naturally gives the French eye medicine.

In the first half of 1948, France was forced to announce a complete withdrawal of its troops from Vietnam, and instead the large-scale entry of American troops into Vietnam began. For a time, Vietnam became the first line of Western ****. At first, the Americans were not ready to enter Vietnam in full, after all, they knew very well who the forces behind Vietnam were. Once the Soviets also got involved, the fun was great.

The French withdrawal once made Sverdlov quite happy, and whoever he supported in the past few years was unlucky, and now this bad luck has finally been washed away. The success in North Vietnam finally opened the way, and if Ho Chi Minh continued to go south and take the whole of Vietnam, it would mean that he Sverdlov had made a comeback. When the time comes, no one will say how he can't do it.

Therefore, the US involvement in Vietnamese affairs did not arouse Sverdlov's high vigilance, and he increased his military, economic, and political support for North Vietnam, and was ready to show the United States a little color in Vietnam.

Li Xiaofeng has no opinion on this, although he doesn't like the Vietnamese at all, but it is undeniable that Vietnam has cheated the Americans once in history, and it is not particularly difficult to pit again now, right?

However, he also knew that Sverdlov's choice was really not very good, and Vietnam was a white-eyed wolf and could not be fed. Once there were thicker thighs to hold, the Vietnamese would have forgotten about the USSR in a minute. And historically, the Soviet Union gave Vietnam so much economic and military aid, and how many benefits did it receive in the end?

Li Xiaofeng believes that Vietnam has no oil or water at all, and the greater the investment, the worse the loss, and the ideal state of Vietnam is to be divided into two like South Korea and North Korea. However, Li Xiaofeng also knew that Sverdlov would not listen to him, and now he was full of hope for Vietnam, and he was looking forward to fighting a turnaround!

So what is the actual situation? Compared with France, the political, economic, and military strength of the United States is completely higher, and the Americans did not rush to send ground troops into Vietnam, but adopted two sets of strategies, the first of which was naturally to support local forces in Vietnam. The second strategy was to attack from the air, and with the powerful power of the US Air Force, it gained air supremacy over the entire Indochina Peninsula almost effortlessly, and began to bomb North Vietnam indiscriminately. Almost blew up northern Vietnam to the ground.

This was a blow to the North Vietnamese army, which had just begun to formalize large-scale Soviet military aid. Sverdlov was forced to increase aid to Vietnam, which would stop the bleeding.

Let's put it this way, the sudden accession of the Americans shattered Sverdlov's dream of a quick liberation of Vietnam and even Indochina. At this time, not to mention the liberation of the Indochina Peninsula, the Viet Cong even had a lot of difficulty going south, at least the regular army did not dare to go south on a large scale, so they could only send guerrillas to quietly enter South Vietnam to fight guerrillas.

Sverdlov was quite dissatisfied with this situation, and he believed that the Soviet Union should go all out to aid Vietnam at this time, just as it had done to the Communist Party of China, so as to open up a new situation in the revolution in Indochina.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Sverdlov just thought that it was not cost-effective to temporarily lend a large amount of funds to the T Communist Party for construction. If the money is used to support Vietnam, the Indochina Peninsula will be a different place.

It's just that his suggestion was resolutely opposed by Li Xiaofeng, and a certain immortal insisted that he must help Huaxia to industrialize as soon as possible, and only when Huaxia develops, can the revolution in Asia have a fulcrum, as for Vietnam, it has never been the focus of Asia, and even if the revolution is successful, what can this kind of small country do? Moreover, as the United States began to intervene in the affairs of Vietnam, it may be quite difficult for the Vietnamese revolution to succeed.

Compared with the two, China, as a big country, has more potential, which is a good helper for the Soviet Union in the future, as for Vietnam, Nima is simply losing money, and wants large-scale support, and he is dead!

Under Li Xiaofeng's resolute opposition, Sverdlov's proposal naturally did not pass. However, he did not give up, Xiao Si mobilized the top level of the Viet Cong and asked them to come to Moscow to do more activities and work. Soon Ho Chi Minh and Le Duan arrived in Moscow for a visit, and began to do lobbying work incessantly.

Li Xiaofeng was polite to Ho Chi Minh, but he was not polite to Le Duan at all. Anyway, if you can't see it, you can't see it, and if you see it, you can send it away with a few casual words. This obvious dislike made Ho Chi Minh and Le Duan both monks puzzled their heads, and did not understand what Le Duan had done to dislike a certain immortal, and even did the work of Lenin and Trotsky, hoping to change the attitude of a certain immortal.

It's just that this is useless, Li Xiaofeng still ignores Li Duan, and even whenever Li Duan comes forward to do something in the Soviet Union, a certain immortal deliberately sets up obstacles, and even the Vietnamese side has found out that it is useless to let Li Duan go to the Soviet Union, but it is possible to change someone else to get things done.

Such differential treatment made Le Duan naturally resentful, but he had no way to take a certain immortal, who made Vietnam too weak, and without the support of the Soviet Union, it was simply a fart. What's more interesting is that the news that a certain immortal doesn't like Li Duan has spread to the T Communist Party, and the leader of the T Communist Party, who has dealt with a certain immortal many times, also asked a certain immortal on an informal occasion why a certain immortal was so cold to Li Duan.

But Li Xiaofeng bluntly pointed out: "This Li Duan has an improper mind, and he doesn't look like a real revolutionary!" I suggest you deal with him less as well! ”

Such an evaluation is simply the most severe accusation, and when this evaluation reached Ho Chi Minh's ears, the father of the Vietnamese nation was also shocked, because he had always thought that Le Duan was still good, how could he become a scheming revolutionary when he got to the side of Big Brother? What's more serious is that Le Duan is almost certainly his successor, and the core of the leadership of the Soviet Union in the future will inevitably be a certain immortal, it is conceivable that once a certain immortal comes to power, and the leader of Vietnam is Le Duan, then what will become of the Soviet Union's attitude towards Vietnam?

In this regard, Ho Chi Minh had to think carefully, he could not gamble with the future of the whole of Vietnam, and now that Le Duan has not yet fully sat down, is he discovering some new successors?

Poor Le Duan was miserable by a certain immortal at this time, and the future of Vietnam is also blurred...... (To be continued.) )
