"Well, of course I'm not a soldier. I can't suggest anything for London. I'm just a little worried." Alan Wilson hung up the phone with a sigh, and said after a while, "It seems that I have to become a supporter of the domino theory. That’s it.”
Once the French army retreated from North Vietnam, it was time for him to wave the flag and shout. Thinking of this, he felt a little smokey about Eisenhower. If it were not for this last traditional Republican president, the United States would have joined the Vietnam battlefield even earlier.
At the Wake Island meeting during the Korean War, U.S. senior officials not only discussed North Korea but also the Indochina issue. Admiral Radford, commander of the Pacific Fleet, does not understand what the US military can and should do in Indochina. MacArthur believed that the performance of the French army in Indochina was puzzling. They had 150,000 of the best soldiers and the highest-level commanders here. The opponent's strength was only half that of the Korean army, but they could not annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.
Radford believed that the US military must be a strong backing for France. This exchange and dialogue fully demonstrates that the US military is ready to open a new battlefield in the Far East, which will eventually drag the United States into many years of war and cost a lot.
It can be said that the US military had already had the idea of intervening in the Indochina Peninsula. During Eisenhower's term, it restrained the desire of the United States to send troops. If this military president had not come to power, the United States would have sent troops earlier.
However, it is not necessarily true that Eisenhower has always been anti-war. When he was president, Eisenhower repeatedly asked voters to beware of the military-industrial complex. However, after he stepped down, he still started to cheer for the United States to send troops.
Ike withstood the pressure to go to war when he was president, but after leaving office, he still had to eat. He joined the ranks of singing praises for the United States to send troops. He had one idea at a time. At that time, I believe Eisenhower also believed in it. , his idea is right.
When Alan Wilson was looking up from the window and thinking a lot, a pair of white arms hugged him from behind, and Vivien Leigh's pleasant voice came, "Honey, what's wrong with you?"
"I was thinking about how precious peace is. Times are peaceful here, but Vietnam is fighting life and death." Alan Wilson never mentioned the battleship bombardment of Haiphong City, but expressed his cherishment of peace.
This kind of hypocrisy made Vivien Leigh very distressed, "My dear, you better not think so much. Your power alone is limited, and the French methods are still a little too cruel."
"It's almost cruel and stupid." Alan Wilson almost couldn't hold it back and took back his tone of hatred. "I mean, the French should accept reality instead of stubbornly speaking with guns."
The French army was reorganized after the war.
Actually in a state of contradiction. Ostensibly ethnocentrism, the idea that Europeans are superior to other peoples. Although the defeat to Japan was a big blow to them, it did not dampen their sense of superiority. However, in fact, the French army was completely defeated in World War II; now they want to redeem themselves.
This very twisted mentality led to the excessive use of force against the French in the colonies, without even considering objective conditions.
Dien Bien Phu was less than a hundred miles from the Chinese border and almost two hundred miles from the French base in Hanoi; as a result, it was the limit of the range of French supply aircraft. The terrain here is rugged and there is no land connection with Hanoi, so Dien Bien Phu Fortress must rely entirely on air power for defense.
In fact, as long as the French air supply line is not interrupted, the goal may not be achieved until the end. This was also the original intention of General Navarre, to fight a war of attrition with the Viet Minh, drain the blood of the Vietnamese and then negotiate for peace.
But Alan Wilson knew the evolution of the battle situation. The key was that he really had no control over the weather, and he was not God.
If France were defeated, Alan Wilson thought about the consequences. Then he would have to guide the French to ask China for help.
Now we can only leave the Battle of Dien Bien Phu to fate. It is more important to stabilize Britain's own colonies first.
The major newspapers in Malaya reported that tens of thousands of Vietnamese fell in front of the impregnable French defense line, which gave the colonial imperial subjects a preconceived impression that the price of such independence was not something that ordinary people could bear.
Of course, this was reported under the instruction of him, the Malayan Commissioner. Anyway, this is a fact. Even if the French army finally surrendered at Dien Bien Phu, the damage to the Viet Minh would far exceed its own losses. However, the French army's elite troops were There are so many, it is not easy to replenish them like the Viet Minh.
Although the method of comparing one person to another is not a clever method, it is a good method from the perspective of human nature. Most people subconsciously have a simple psychology and base their own happiness on the pain of the other person.
This simple mentality of making you happy when you are unhappy was exploited by Alan Wilson to make human blood steamed buns to make the imperial subjects of the Malayan colony happy. This is not too much.
But in front of the charming actresses, Ellen Wilson is still the pacifist, angrily criticizing France's excessive force and comparing it to the US military in the Korean War.
Marilyn Monroe, who was enjoying the tropical beach in cool clothes, felt a little uncomfortable when she heard such shameless thoughts, and said, "France is a colonial army, and the United States is not."
"What they are doing is not the same!" Alan Wilson did not forget that the other party interfered in the internal affairs of the United Kingdom and sow the close relationship between the Malayan colonies and the British mainland. He said this this time to counterattack Monroe's previous remarks.
A flash of thought flashed across Marilyn Monroe's face, and then she seemed to understand something, "Such a big man is so stingy. He is still jealous of what I said before. It's really surprising."
"There is such a thing as patriotism in this world." Alan Wilson stared at the sexy goddess's red lips and raised his head slightly, "Miss Monroe, in fact, everyone has their own goals, just like you hope to have a wider reputation. , my goal is to maintain the stability of the jurisdiction, and everyone is right."
"What are you talking about?" Hedy Lamarr walked over slowly, her perfect face full of suspicion, and then said flatly, "Commissioner Wilson, Miss Monroe is the most famous actress in the United States. You don’t have any thoughts about her.”
"Ms. Heidi, when it comes to ideas, I still have more ideas for you." Alan Wilson winked at Heidi Rama, and he had already received the other party's concerns.
Compared with the current war in Vietnam, Shigeru Yoshida once again stepped down and no longer served as the Prime Minister of Japan. It is definitely a trivial matter.
This resignation is actually related to the compensation treaty signed by Japan a few months ago. US$3.58 billion is not a small amount, but Japan has no choice.
Yoshida Shigeru took the blame and resigned, taking the blame, which brought an end to the compensation treaty. For the United States, changing a prime minister in Japan is not a big deal. The Tokyo District Prosecutors' Special Investigation Department has been operating for many years to ensure Japan's stability.
Compared with France's war in Indochina and the change of Japanese Prime Minister, Washington is still more troubled by the topic of the Soviet Union joining NATO. After the initial panic, London chose to play dead. Anyway, the commander-in-chief of NATO is an American. It is not the UK's turn to take a stand.
Washington also wanted to pretend to be dead and avoid the Soviet Union's request to join NATO, but soon discovered that this matter could not be avoided. You must know that during World War II, large-scale communist parties appeared in various countries, and the Soviet Union could do whatever it wanted. Notify these fraternal parties through your own channels and let these fraternal parties know.
In other words, the information blockade that is indispensable to ordinary countries is useless when applied to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had many ways of getting what it wanted to say widely circulated in the free world, which made blocking news impossible.
Now all European countries know that the Soviet Union has proposed to join NATO to jointly maintain world peace and avoid war.
"London will definitely not take a stand." Defense Secretary Wilson arrived at the White House. After meeting Eisenhower, he conveyed the British decision to ignore it and let the United States take a stand.
"The British have always been so cunning in this kind of thing." Eisenhower frowned upon hearing this. Although he felt uncomfortable, the way the British acted like they didn't hear was actually what he wanted to do.
After Khrushchev came to power, Eisenhower also wanted to make some easing moves, but he could not put the Soviet Union into NATO. It was easy to ask God to give up, and the meaning of actually joining NATO was gone. The Soviet Union is in Europe. If it uses the framework of NATO, it is even possible for the Soviet Union to squeeze the United States out of Europe.
Therefore, the Soviet Union's joining of NATO was absolutely unacceptable. After thinking for a long time, Eisenhower smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that there is no way to avoid it. Let the Secretary of State inform Moscow that the Soviet Union's joining of NATO is not appropriate."
"What's the reason?" Secretary of Defense Wilson looked directly at the president, waiting for the president's next words.
"Reason? There is no reason!" Eisenhower said resolutely. Sometimes he should be more shameless when it comes to national policies. "As for the Soviet Union, just say whatever you want. If the Soviet Union is not allowed to come in, what will happen?"
Time entered April, when the Dien Bien Phu battle was going on, in the Moscow Kremlin, Khrushchev was having dinner. Molotov, who was still one of the giants, came in and said directly, "Nikita, Eisenhower refused. accepted our request to join NATO and now it is clear."
"We all know that NATO is here for the Soviet Union. This time it just made the Americans disclose the purpose of this military organization. Then no one will believe the nonsense of maintaining peace." Khrushchev was not surprised. , thought for a moment and said, "I think we should have our own military alliance. This is inevitable!"
