British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 1269: call the maine
There is no need to read more. Maxwell Taylor has already made a judgment and must intervene to stabilize the situation. It will be too late.
Religious strife, political factions, and police corruption take turns eroding the country, no less destructive than the growing guerrilla insurgents backed by its northern neighbors.
Before Wu Tingyan's death, even those who advocated a coup d'état conceded that his successor was at best fifty percent certain that the political situation would be stabilized. However, even this estimate has proven to be overly optimistic.
In 90 days, South Vietnam has already had two coups. If the United States does not pull in, the future of this country is simply unimaginable. It is different from the Korean Peninsula. The Korean Peninsula is extremely easy to cut off the influence of the North, but the Indo-China Peninsula is not. Easy, North Vietnam can completely subvert South Vietnam by detour.
This time, not only did Maxwell Taylor not relax at all, on the contrary, his mood became heavier and heavier. What action should he take? Will the operation include the involvement of the U.S. Air Force and Army? Is it possible to launch an attack on North Vietnam? Does doing so pose a risk of war with a major power? At the highest level, what is the economic, military, political, and human cost of such a program?
Will America finally succeed? If the chances of success are extremely small and expensive, should other options—such as neutralization and evacuation—be carefully and carefully studied?
Thinking of this, Maxwell Taylor suddenly woke up, he actually had the idea of retreating, not to mention whether this would lead to criticism, first of all, he couldn't even pass the level of the Pentagon.
He should not have this kind of thinking, but should have a firm belief, come up with the plan that best serves the interests of the United States, and guide the government to make the decision that is most beneficial to the Pentagon.
Or, without further ado, after learning about the situation, Maxwell Taylor embarked on a return journey and returned to Washington to inform Lyndon Johnson of his current predicament.
"Without a strong counterattack from South Vietnam, in the eyes of other Asian countries, as well as important countries threatened by communism in other regions, South Vietnam will not only be a test of American steadfastness, but also a test of U.S. handling of 'national liberation' A special test of "war" capability. On the Asian scale, things are very clear. For Japan, for example, the US exit and the acceptance of pro-Soviet rule will seriously affect people's confidence. Wide In other words, any country that is threatened by the left in the future will undoubtedly have reason to doubt whether we will hold them accountable to the end. Even, in theory, even in those remote parts of Latin America, this It might also happen.”
Not to mention that the Americans still have innovative ideas, and can extend the affairs of Southeast Asia to Latin America, but considering the changes in Cuba, it is not unreasonable to say that it is alarmist or something.
Alan Wilson doesn't have a clairvoyance, but he can also know what's going on in Washington. Is it necessary to pass the Five Eyes Alliance? It's not necessary at all. Just read the front page of the New York Times and know that the situation in South Vietnam is heating up rapidly in the United States. This is certain Pre-war mobilization in a sense.
Before 1941, the United Kingdom dominated the headlines of most monthly magazines, and until last year it held the headlines for two months. Although most of the time, the spotlight of the New York Times has been on the Soviet Union. This month, North Vietnam, a marginal corner of the world, appeared on the headlines of the New York Times, obviously sending some kind of signal.
"The next time it will appear on the headlines, maybe it will be the Falklands War." Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh, yesterday is like water, and it cannot be left behind. Now I, Great Britain, can't even compete with North Vietnam.
But this is also a good thing. It appeared on the headline of the New York Times. It is obviously a manifestation of the United States treating a country as an imaginary enemy. Isn't there a saying that the most important thing is your enemy. It's as if a decade after 2008, the New York Times headlines a certain big country dominated the headlines for fifty-seven months.
If he hadn't had other things to do today, I'd say a few words to the Americans, but I really didn't have time to go to 10 Downing Street with some data to talk to Prime Minister Eden about maternity leave benefits.
"We have obtained a result from public data from France and even the Soviet Union. The so-called maternity leave, or maternity subsidies, does not benefit the country at all except for an increase in expenses."
Alan Wilson took out two documents and put them in front of Aiden. "Among the countries that have implemented subsidies, there has been no significant change in the birth rate. The most important thing is that the UK has not experienced a decline in the fertility rate, at least higher than the French, completely. There is no need to take additional subsidies, which is very short-sighted and useless.”
If you want data from the free world, Alan Wilson has it, and he also has the data from the Soviet bloc. They are all open data. The population data of the Soviet Union after the war was originally a secret. But in recent years as the post-war children have grown up, the population data of the Soviet Union has been made public.
"The reason why there is no major change in the native population is because of immigration, British citizens emigrated to Australia or North America. This is completely different from the trend of French immigration to homeland. The age group of native citizens has not deteriorated." Alan Wilson said confidently, "It is better to worry about the population growth of Malaya than to worry about the local population."
Not to divert the topic, but the population of the UK is really not very serious, at least compared to other countries in Europe, it is not a big problem.
In fact, the Conservative Party is not enthusiastic about any welfare or the like. The so-called maternity subsidy was only discussed at the cabinet meeting. Aiden only routinely asked Whitehall to come up with some data support, and Alan Wilson naturally came up with data support.
He really thinks that it is useless to buy fertility with money, and it is better to make women unemployed.
The United States now has the highest fertility rate on this side of the free world, at a time when the working class is at its strongest. Living in a big house and driving a big pickup truck, a man who works can afford the life of a wife, two children, and a dog.
This is not to brag about the United States. At present, 20% of American women work, that is, 80% of American women are just housewives, providing superior logistical support for their husbands.
Just as the cabinet secretary also has a woman of equal status with his wife who is providing logistical support.
America is really strong right now, and a family only needs one man to work to cover everything. This kind of life is broken, and it will not be until Reagan comes to power and kills the Quartet. Anyway, in the 21st century, the United States has achieved equality between men and women in a sense. Women are finally not housewives. The proportion of women participating in the work has reached 78%, which is higher than that of women in a large country.
The UK is similar now. The difference between the UK and the US lies in the difference in size, not in per capita. After all, women role models like Pamela Mountbatten are in the minority.
Otherwise, why has Malaya surpassed the British mainland in terms of industrial indicators? The Malayan colony is the real equality between men and women. As a backward country, I know how to objectify women.
"Indeed, based on these data, our problem is not big." Aiden is very satisfied with this answer. The Conservatives are not keen on using money to buy welfare. This matter is discussed.
"It's really not a big problem." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. He once again stood on the opposite side of the toiling public, but right and wrong have nothing to do with morality.
How can you offend a woman? Do they dare to rebel? He hasn't heard of any rebel force that is dominated by women.
The British side can only care about fertility issues, which is like a city on the top of a mountain with abundant military virtues, and has already begun to consider the next opponent.
When Maxwell Taylor returned to the United States, he did not go to the White House first, but first went to the Pentagon to discuss the South Vietnam issue with military generals. The result of the discussion was a final memorandum, "On the security interests of the United States Stopping the loss of South Vietnam is a top priority."
"But the president's attitude is more conservative and far less enthusiastic than the Republican candidates." A general asked his doubts, which are also common doubts in the Pentagon.
"We need an unquestionable reason to intervene." Discussions about the situation in South Vietnam began immediately.
"My friends, the problem is actually very simple, we only need a Maine." A naval admiral said confidently, "If the United States is attacked by North Vietnam, I believe that no matter who is the president, no one can stop the Retaliation by a regime that the United States despises."
In 1898, the Cuban Revolution became more and more intense, so the United States sent "Maine" for the sugar cane plantations and sugar mills owned by Americans on the grounds of protecting American citizens in Cuba. , arrived in the port of Havana to put pressure on Spain. However, the Maine exploded while garrisoned in Havana Harbor.
Whatever the reason, the sinking of the Maine was an excellent excuse for the United States to declare war on Spain, and the Pentagon needs such an excuse now.
"It's a good idea, the Tokyo Bay cruise has such conditions." This suggestion was put forward and immediately aroused a lot of approval, and the meeting room was full of fresh atmosphere.
In order to protect the safety of the free world, sometimes, everyone doesn't mind being a villain, this is to better protect the majority of good people.
Maxwell Taylor went to the White House after this meeting to show that the evacuation seemed unacceptable, which had been conclusive on several earlier occasions, and this time was no exception. Since the coup, there is no doubt that South Vietnam's The situation is seriously deteriorating. The government's weaknesses have become starkly apparent over the past month. The riots and uprisings supported by North Vietnam are increasing day by day,
While Maxwell Taylor was chanting prayers in the White House, other people naturally arranged for another Maine to happen, and everyone performed their duties without delaying each other.
