Chapter 1266 Malaya Will Never Surrender

British Civil Service Text Volume Chapter 1,266 Malaya Will Never Surrender "Mr. President, at least one thing is true. The chiefs of staff unanimously believe that losing South Vietnam means losing all of Southeast Asia." Maxwell Taylor informed the Pentagon's professional opinion and emphasized that the chiefs of staff were unanimous in their judgment.

"I will talk to the departments about this issue." Lyndon Johnson nodded and reassured Maxwell Taylor.

The next day, Lyndon Johnson held a meeting to discuss the situation in South Vietnam. The meeting included officials from the CIA, Pentagon, and foreign affairs. It was full of gold.

Maxwell Taylor also attended again and gave the Pentagon's unchanging professional advice that once the U.S. troops withdraw, the South Vietnamese regime will never be able to survive. Retaining the current size of the garrison will not prevent North Vietnam from infiltrating. It is necessary to increase the number of troops to completely defeat Hanoi and make it give up its ambitions for the South Vietnamese regime.

The CIA agreed with this view, "The current situation will continue to weaken the will and effectiveness of the South Vietnamese in the coming weeks and is sufficient to threaten the political foundation of current U.S. policies and objectives in South Vietnam."

He also emphasized that since North Vietnam's economy mainly relies on agriculture and a large number of highly dispersed villages, which can be self-sufficient, bombing can neither cause insurmountable economic problems for North Vietnam nor weaken Hanoi's ability to provide sufficient manpower and material resources for the guerrilla war in the south. .

The CIA also noted that North Vietnamese leaders believed the fall of the Saigon government was imminent, so they might endure massive bombing without changing policy.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk also came up with his own suggestions and gave four solutions. He said in front of Lyndon Johnson, "1. Continue to pursue the current course of action; 2. Take over the war; 3. Conduct war against North Vietnam." Air strikes; 4. Seek a political solution. Our current policies have weakened South Vietnam politically and militarily. Direct entry into the war will cost American lives in the jungles and rice fields. Bombing North Vietnam can neither destroy its will nor rebuild it. Impairing their ability to support the Vietcong in the south."

“Advocating a political settlement without the guarantee of effective means is tantamount to advocating an unconditional withdrawal. We consider this possibility based on its potential impact on U.S. global strategy. What we see is that forces supported by Hanoi continue to As Laos advances, once South Vietnam is destroyed, the United States will have only one foothold in Southeast Asia, the Philippines."

"In fact, there is only one option, a plan to intensify military operations, including the US Air Force bombing North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The premise of these suggestions is that the United States' withdrawal from South Vietnam or Southeast Asia is an absolutely unacceptable option. Don't think that Southeast Asia has nothing to do with Europe. In fact, the British The Malayan colonies are watching how we deal with the South Vietnam issue, and Thailand, Burma, and surrounding countries are all watching."

Experts from the State Department, CIA, Department of Defense, and National Security Council conducted assessments and analyzes and gave Lyndon Johnson a wide range of options but only one path to choose from.

That is, this battle is inevitable. Even if we want to talk about it in the future, we must first achieve a decent result before talking with Hanoi.

"Admiral Taylor, go to Saigon and get the most realistic situation." Lyndon Johnson asked Maxwell Taylor, begging him to take a trip.

Of course Maxwell Taylor was willing to take a trip. As the leader of the U.S. military, he also had to survey the actual situation on the battlefield in order to have a clear idea.

If Alan Wilson knew that his American counterparts were so wise, he would definitely applaud loudly. It is easy for things like the military to be spread out, so you still want them to impose orders and prohibitions? Once the fight starts, don't think about withdrawing.

Orders and prohibitions are suitable for most countries, even the UK, but they are not suitable for the United States. The Vietnam War was just a concentrated expression of the US military starting to have its own ideas. The US military has been disobedient since then. Whoever makes the US political structure have a strong Lobbying organizations provide support.

While Lyndon Johnson went back and forth on the election, choosing the only solution offered by the establishment, the Republican Party continued to steal from the country.

They are all candidates, and no one is stupider than the other. After McCarthy plunged into the southern states, other Republican candidates also realized the broken situation and followed McCarthy's example and began to win over white votes in the south.

From this point of view, McCarthy is simply the guiding light of the Republican Party. Even if he fails in this election, it will not damage his status in the Republican Party. Maybe he will become the founder of the Republican Party's turn.

Richard, the High Commissioner of Malaya, returned to London to report on his work this time, and also reported in detail the progress of Malaya's transformation in accordance with the Cabinet Secretary-General's transformation, although he did not know what the real purpose was.

The real purpose is, of course, to take advantage of the rich conditions of the Malayan colony and prepare to eat some flesh and blood steamed buns during the period when the US military is about to demonstrate its martial virtue. It may be a bit embarrassing to say it, but can it be said that Japan and South Korea can eat it, but Malaya can? Can't eat it?

The current situation is different from the situation in Alan Wilson's mind. After so many years of development, Malaya has all the conditions for a logistics base. Moreover, with North Vietnam in the north and Indonesia in the south, is it okay not to eat some flesh and blood steamed buns? Britain also helped the United States suppress the French's attempts to surrender to the Communists. Would it benefit Japan and South Korea, but not Britain?

"I heard that in the past few months, four to five million people have poured into the Malayan colony?" Alan Wilson asked, standing with his hands behind his hands, as if his back was turned to everyone.

"Secretary-General, it's like this. There is indeed a trend of rich people immigrating to Indonesia. Your previous judgment was correct." Richard didn't think much about it. Maybe this is the style of the supreme authority.

As a high commissioner, he had no idea that if Alan Wilson felt that he couldn't handle the Indonesian incident, he would be pushed out of the tank.

"There are still some of Chang Gong's people dancing happily, right? This time the immigration wave is over, send their heads back."

Alan Wilson showed his white teeth, "Malaya is a British colony and cannot be disturbed by any external forces. It is useful to keep them now. When the immigration wave ends, it will be time to kill the donkey. You can handle such small things by yourself when the time comes. That’s fine, the key is to lay all the foundations for adapting to the changing situation. You see, the situation in South Vietnam is getting more and more corrupt. If there is another Korean War, won’t Malaya take off?”

"Secretary-general, is there going to be a fight?" Richard was shocked. Although he was the local emperor of Malaya, he was not in London after all, so he had to make his own judgment on the situation. Now Richard only knows that the political situation in South Vietnam is unstable, but South Vietnam itself has more than 10,000 US troops stationed, so controlling the situation is not a problem.

"The North Vietnamese guerrillas would kill an American soldier from time to time, and the US military would kill and rape from time to time. The hatred would only get deeper and deeper." As he spoke, Alan Wilson handed Richard a piece of information. The main religion in South Vietnam is Buddhism, and the Ngo Dinh Diem group used Catholicism as its cohesion before. Although Ngo Ting Diem died, the attributes of the remaining forces have not changed.

What was handed to Richard was a piece of information about the persecution of Buddhists by the US military. If they were just Buddhists, it would not be worth asking Alan Wilson to show. As we all know, the US military has no control over its crotch anywhere on the earth. It is simply the same as the Latins. Virtue.

Using an attack case, the US military arrested several nuns, tortured them, raped them and dumped their bodies, all in one go.

"It's really appalling." Richard took the intelligence and couldn't help but sigh. He only knew that the military discipline of the US military was not very good, but he did not expect it to be so bad.

"So, if the British troops in Malaya want to go to Thailand for some convenience, it is better to spend money than not to spend money on such things. One of my subordinates made this mistake before."

Alan Wilson sighed, "With the current industrial base of the colony and the convenient transportation, once a war breaks out, there will be a lot of benefits. Optimistically, this war will allow Malaya to develop steadily for ten years. The colonial government must do Don’t let foreign ideas spark an anti-British wave, no matter where the ideas come from, even the United States. Stabilize the political situation and things will be easier to handle."

He remembered that the United States spent 250 billion U.S. dollars on the Vietnam War. In addition to the U.S. military itself, this money also allowed several countries to get their first pot of gold to varying degrees, especially South Korea.

With such a large expenditure, even if 10 billion is spent on Malaya, an economic miracle comparable to that of Japan will still be happening.

Pamela Mountbatten had communicated with several British banks in Hong Kong and Malaya and was prepared to absorb the overflow of US dollars once the war started. At the same time, we will achieve our development goals for the next ten years by leveraging our current foundation to stand out in Southeast Asia.

There is no other meaning in calling Richard. It is simply that Malaya must fight until the last American soldier evacuates South Vietnam. "Deepening reforms in Malaya should also be put on the agenda, and administrative means should always be used to withdraw funds." That’s not possible. Take the opportunity to find another way and achieve the goal through the construction of intellectual property rights.”

Now and then, before the Malay language seemed to have nothing to offer, the British transferred some industries to solve the local people's food problem, and the local people burst into tears of gratitude. After the problem of food and clothing is solved, the local people will still feel unfair for a long time. This requires a big filter constructed by intellectual property rights to replace the operation of the colonial government.

"Every year, the number of civil servants in the colonial government will be reduced and they will be affiliated to major enterprises. This has been done once before. Change the public institutions and just follow suit." Alan Wilson thought as he said, "There is no problem for the time being. , I’ll give you one year to get it done.”

"One year?" Richard smiled bitterly, then nodded, "I'll try my best, Cabinet Secretary."

"Trying your best may not be enough. Local and overseas civil servants are a whole. If you fail to do so, your colleagues may doubt your reliability." Alan Wilson sighed, "Richard, you know that your two terms are Did I put in a lot of effort to get it? Many people are watching."
