Alan Wilson felt that it was only a matter of time before the United States took over France's role. Others didn't know it, but British Malaya was not far from Vietnam. How could he not know that the reason why the French army has been able to fight until now is because of the United States'
Military aid was inseparable, and the United States shouldered three-quarters of the French military's war expenses.
Large-scale military assistance to the French army in Vietnam began in 1950, almost at the same time as the Korean War broke out.
It can be said that the United States has already intervened in the Vietnam War, but now it is limited to the stage of providing money. The French are the ones contributing. Once the French can no longer contribute, the Americans will most likely end up on their own.
From the beginning of the Vietnam War, the United States provided money and France contributed, and it evolved gradually to the United States reorganizing the South Vietnamese army based on its experience in South Korea. In the end, the South Vietnamese army was still unable to fight, and the United States personally ended the war. This was a gradual process.
It was precisely because General Navarre knew the important role of the United States in maintaining the French offensive that he fought with the Paris government to expand the troops used for the offensive. Although he did not know that the United States had provided two billion US dollars in aid to the French army in the past few years, and later
The United States spent only a drop in the bucket on the Vietnam War, but it still wanted to wait until the increase in troops was completed before attacking.
Alan Wilson felt that the early U.S. involvement in the Vietnam situation was far from evil. The U.S. had already helped South Korea before. It was nothing more than a part of the confrontation between the two camps. At the beginning, the U.S. probably would not have imagined that it would even use Agent Orange later.
superior.
Just as Alan Wilson suggested that General Navarre use chemical weapons, the French were unwilling to use them.
But as soon as the war starts, as time goes on, the bottom line will be exceeded more and more. Even if the first batch of American troops landing in Vietnam adhered to the principles of war, as casualties gradually increase, the bottom line will be broken again and again, and the tactics will change.
You have to be cold-blooded.
From now on, when the French army has not yet begun to complete its offensive plan, and until the US military officially enters the country, the situation in South Vietnam is relatively stable. This stability refers to the existence of war, but it is not large-scale.
Sooner or later, the Vietnamese will miss this period of time, because compared with the real firepower of the US military later, this period of time cannot be called cruel.
At present, Alan Wilson naturally wants to help the French and organize a large-scale attack to maintain the unity of the colonial countries. Although Indonesia has become independent, more or less, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Portugal have retained their colonies in Asia.
Although it is completely incomparable to before.
If France loses all its French colonies in Asia, where will the French military, which is determined to avenge the war after the war, put its face?
In view of this, Alan Wilson was very concerned about the orders from the French. He personally inspected everything from weapons and ammunition to military uniforms and sheets. He must be honest in doing business and must not fool his allies with defective products.
Su Yang, who already has the air of a textile king, followed Alan Wilson and strolled through the textile factory he runs. The machines may be a bit old, but the hard-working textile women will overcome this.
"Master Zhongtang, you can leave this matter to me, you can rest assured." Su Yang followed behind Alan Wilson, making insinuations to show his reliability.
"After all, you are the son-in-law of Newfoundland, so I have nothing to worry about." The workshop was noisy, which was considered a very unfriendly working environment, and Alan Wilson's voice could only be amplified.
Su Yang's marriage is an important factor that Newfoundland Capital and Allen Wilson are willing to support. I believe Su Yang himself will not deny this. Although blood is thicker than water only holds true under certain circumstances, in a calm peace
In this era, this relationship is still very deceptive.
It doesn't involve national confrontation, it just supports a trustworthy agent, so Su Yang naturally comes into view.
Su Yang also knew that the order that these French people wanted was not trivial, so he did not dare to be careless at all. He took Alan Wilson into the rest area far away, made a cup of tea with the courtesy of a landlord, and then said, "Master Zhongtang, France
It looks like people are going to do something big this time."
"If you don't ask too detailed questions, I can answer you. Yes." Alan Wilson picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, I remember that you once fought a war with the French."
Alan Wilson was referring to the Sino-French War, in which the second-largest imperialist power faced off against the Qing Dynasty, the gatekeeper of the great powers.
"What a shame for the corruption and incompetence of the late Qing Dynasty. Ah, Master Zhongtang, I'm just saying that this war with the French does not involve other countries." Su Yang suddenly woke up and expressed his strong desire to survive. His current
The industries were all supported by the British, and they were all hard-won.
"If we continue to fight, the Qing Dynasty still can't win. It was right to give up when things were good!" Alan Wilson failed to grasp this point and added, "I have never seen a dynasty that has been established for more than two hundred years.
, how strong can Resurrection be? If it remains strong, it will not perish in the end, right?"
This is absolutely true, and there is absolutely no position. No ZTE master can bring a dynasty to its previous peak. There are no exceptions in Chinese history.
It has not even been able to return to the peak of the dynasty, and changes involving the industrial field are naturally even more impossible.
Don’t talk about others, the first industrial revolution was the United Kingdom, the second industrial revolution was Germany and the United States, and even the French did not seize the opportunity.
Historical topics, especially modern history, are very unfriendly to Su Yang, a Chinese, and Alan Wilson was not interested in continuing. He talked about Su Yang's wife Mary, "I heard that you have two beautiful mixed-race babies, a son and a daughter.
It can be said that he has both sons and daughters. In fact, when a man has reached this stage, most men have nothing more to ask for."
"Master Zhongtang, I want to work more on the development of Malaya." Su Yang took the opportunity to express that I really want to make progress.
Haha! The two smiled tacitly, and Alan Wilson reassured the other, "The development of Malaya needs entrepreneurs like Mr. Su, so that we British can rest assured."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now he wants to support a colony that can help Britain share its obligations. The final result is hard to say, but Alan Wilson will definitely do his best.
In fact, the Viet Minh currently controls most of North Vietnam, including the coastal areas. The current situation makes Alan Wilson unable to help but make a comparison. It can be said that the situation facing the French army now is not as good as before Liaoshen
gun party.
The artillery party also has some coastal strongholds. During the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the French army could only maintain its supplies through air transport. Once the weather entered the rainy season, the French army would be completely destroyed.
If General Navarre comes back from Paris and really makes a request for the Royal Navy to assist, it will be really hard for Britain to refuse. After all, in this time and space, European colonial countries have cooperated much more deeply than in the original history.
The reason why the French took the risk near Dien Phu was entirely because they used the same method to win the Battle of Nashang at the end of last year.
The process of the Battle of Nak Shang was the same as that of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. The French army relied entirely on airdrops and paratrooper supplies to win the Viet Minh attack head-on. Dien Bien Phu just wanted to replicate it.
"Sometimes you will find that even if you want to help your allies, you don't know how to start." Alan Wilson lamented that as a commissioner of an allied country, no matter how reasonable his words were, they were not as convincing as the experience accumulated by the French themselves.
The previous Battle of Na Shang had severely damaged the Viet Minh. With such experience, how could the French listen to the nonsense of a British man?
Just like the United States felt that training the South Korean army was effective, it naturally felt that the South Vietnamese army could do the same.
It was not that he was unwilling to make more contributions to the free world, but that the French and Americans did not need British guidance. So Alan Wilson put aside his attention to Vietnam and concentrated on governing the colonies under his jurisdiction.
A group of battleship formations that were older than Alan Wilson were still sailing slowly and leisurely, passing through the Atlantic Ocean and the Gibraltar Fortress in the Mediterranean Sea, and slowly headed towards Asia.
At this stage, the major issue of the United Nations has become the claims of Southeast Asian countries against Japan. After all, the Korean War is over, and the significance of the existence of the United Nations needs to be discussed.
Japan still succeeded in obtaining an understanding from Indonesia and Thailand, which meant less compensation. However, the Philippines' attitude was tough. After some family members of prisoners of war staged petitions, the governments of Australia and New Zealand, which were under pressure, also joined the ranks of the compensation claims.
The Tokyo government, which had just experienced a wave of bloodshed in the Korean War, was very depressed when faced with the Philippines, which was charging ahead, and Australia and New Zealand, which were supporting behind.
Although there was support brought by the Korean War, Japan at this time, just like the textile factory that Alan Wilson had just inspected, the largest competitive product was the textile industry. However, Japan's textile industry market was the United States, and the British Empire
Asia's textile exports are directed to Europe.
The foundation for Japan's take-off has just been accumulated, and the Philippines can't wait to rush forward and make trouble at the United Nations. It doesn't matter if the Philippines is just a country. After all, among the independent countries in Southeast Asia, Thailand and Indonesia have already been taken care of by Japan.
The problem does not lie with Southeast Asia, but with Australia and New Zealand, two countries with strong roots that the United Kingdom and the United States value.
Australian and New Zealand soldiers were massacred by the Japanese during the war. After Pamela Mountbatten's encouragement and the British hint that they would provide help at the United Nations, the two governments, which were pressured by public opinion, took the opportunity to bring the matter to the United Nations.
Alexander Cadogan has resigned, and Lord Parkinson is the current British ambassador to the United Nations. Halfway through his term, he is at the United Nations to seek justice for Australia and New Zealand.
In fact, the current United States does not have much affection for Japan. After all, the Philippines is a former colony and is a biological son in the eyes of Americans, not to mention Australia and New Zealand. Emotionally speaking, the claimants are so strong, and the United States naturally cannot
