Red Soviet Union

Chapter 374: Commonwealth of Indochina

There are very few people who are selfless. When encountering a problem, of course, they must first consider the problem from their own perspective, and the same is true for the country. Any country must consider the absolute interests of its own country.

Therefore, from this perspective, the Vietnamese also have their own "difficulties".

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

Vietnam was indeed once the ruler of the Indochina Peninsula in history. When Vietnam broke away from the Chinese rule more than 1,000 years ago, it occupied only an elephant county in China, which is now the Hanoi area of ​​Vietnam. After that, the Vietnamese continued to expand westward and southward, destroying the city of Champa, an ancient civilization, swallowing up half of Cambodia, and quadrupling the territory of Vietnam. By the 19th century, all of Cambodia, plus Laos, was under the rule of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam.

In the Nguyen Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty, it was quite powerful in the early days, just like the Qing Dynasty. In the later period, the national strength declined. First, it was unable to defeat France and was forced to withdraw from Cambodia. After that, Vietnam was also occupied by France.

These histories make the Vietnamese feel that they always think that the real Vietnam should include Cambodia and Laos. Therefore, the leaders of Vietnam have been doing the dream of restoring the Indo-China Peninsula Federation, and the Vietnamese themselves will rule the entire "Indo-China Peninsula".

Unfortunately, this is not possible. If any country, the most powerful territory in history, would consider it the territory it should have now, then the whole world would be in chaos. One example of modern success is Israel, because it once lived in Palestine, so it will establish a state of its own from there.

Now, Cambodia is in the midst of civil strife, and Prince Sihanouk is also under house arrest in the Cambodian capital. In fact, Cambodia has been in civil strife since the 1970s. First, in March 1970, Minister Lon Nol staged a coup and Sihanouk was forced into exile in China. Huaxia has always reiterated that Sihanouk is the legitimate leader of Cambodia. After that, Sihanouk set up a government-in-exile "National Coalition Government of the Kingdom of Cambodia" with the help of Chinese power. Form a united front with CPK Pol Pot. In 1975, the Khmer Rouge occupied Cambodia and the Lon Nol regime collapsed. As head of state, Sihanouk declared the establishment of the communist country Democratic Kampuchea and returned to Cambodia.

Unfortunately, Sihanouk regretted it later. The Khmer Rouge just needed Sihanouk's name. Not only did he have no real power, he was even placed under house arrest in the palace. His five sons and fourteen grandsons were tortured and killed in the process. If the Chinese government had not put pressure on the Pol Pot government, Sihanouk would have been lost.

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

It was under this circumstance that Vietnam brazenly launched its invasion of Cambodia! Although it has not been instructed by the Soviet Union, Vietnam can't wait! The dream of the Commonwealth of Indochina made the Vietnamese government take risks. Moreover, Vietnam has even driven the United States away, so it is more confident to face the weak China!

"We cannot compromise with the Vietnamese government!" Duke Deng said calmly after careful consideration: "Vietnam is challenging our bottom line! If we do nothing, we will lose our right to speak in Southeast Asia. We must give A profound lesson for the Vietnamese!"

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

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

China's army of several million, it is easy to clean up the Vietnamese monkeys, but before you teach the Vietnamese monkeys, you must know the attitude of the Soviet Union! After all, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union has just eased. The troops of the two sides have gradually withdrawn from the border area, ending the confrontation, and the national border is also being defined. The Soviet Union's MiG-23 fighters have also been sold to China. The attitude of the Soviet Union, critical.

Because the Soviets have always supported Vietnam! Vietnam was able to turn against China after driving out the Americans because the master behind it was the Soviet Union! Therefore, if China wants to attack Vietnam, it must notify the Soviet Union!

The relationship between countries is intricate and complicated. As a leader, you must have an overall strategic grasp. A little carelessness may trigger a series of reactions.

"Yes, we have to teach Vietnam a lesson, we must first inform our Soviet friends." Deng Gong said. Let's test the Soviet Union's reaction first, after all, Vietnam is the Soviet Union's younger brother.

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

The high-level voice from Huaxia came to Moscow through radio waves, and got this news, Andropov attached great importance to it.

"Vietnam has always been towards us~www.wuxiax.com~ Now, we can't sit back and watch China teach Vietnam a lesson." Marshal Ogarkov said: "At the same time, this is also an opportunity to show our influence, we will impose on China Pressure, let Huaxia cancel this plan, so that Vietnam will be more obedient to us."

In terms of military technology, Marshal Ogarkov is indeed forward-looking, but in terms of national strategy, Marshal Ogarkov is a little worse. As Andrei, who was present at the meeting, originally did not have any chance to speak, so , now just quietly listening to the speeches of these big men.

"We originally wooed Vietnam to deal with the United States. We exported so many weapons and ammunition to fight the United States. After that, we continued to support Vietnam to check and balance Huaxia. Now, our relationship with Huaxia has eased, and Vietnam treats us It doesn't matter anymore." Ustinov said: "Huaxia wants to teach Vietnam a lesson, so let Huaxia do it, and we can just see how the Chinese people are."

What Ustinov meant was that it had nothing to do with himself, hang up high, and take a look at China's millions of troops, old-fashioned equipment, and how the combat effectiveness is.

The use of Vietnam to the Soviet Union was to gain a foothold in Asia! And now, with the island country, Vietnam's position in the Soviet strategy has been greatly reduced! (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
