British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 1305: defensive counter strategy

"Secretary-General, you're back, the Prime Minister is waiting for you." Alan Wilson just showed up, and the Prime Minister's Chief Private Secretary appeared in Brest. "The Prime Minister is also more concerned about this information exchange. The Americans must have said something. Views on the Vietnam War."

"I'll go right away!" With panda eyes, Alan Wilson didn't dare to delay, and went straight to No. 10 Downing Street. After the meeting, Aiden inevitably paid attention to the health of the cabinet secretary. The Secretary-General went abroad, and when he came back, he seemed to be hollowed out.

Alan Wilson naturally explained that he was tired of traveling, acclimatized, and he was busy with work, and told the itinerary of the Pentagon and the CIA. It has absolutely nothing to do with manned spaceflight.

When asked how the United States was going to fight the Vietnam War and what advice he gave, Alan Wilson opened his mouth and smiled bitterly, "The problem is, I still don't understand why the United States is fighting, whether it is The CIA is still the Pentagon, and their vision is very forward-looking. There are a lot of contradictions, and I can feel that kind of hesitation.”

"So?" Although Aiden had already made up his mind to ignore the Vietnam War, he still felt a little nervous when he heard this description, "Tell me how you feel."

"The specificity of this feeling is that the Americans seem to be afraid of the army's strong will." Alan Wilson thought for a long time, compared with the process of the previous American wars in his mind, and expressed his views.

Although I, Great Britain, were ridiculed and ridiculed decades later, when I was fighting for world hegemony, I did Spain, France, Imperial Russia, Germany, and the Far East. Also hit the US twice. My British Army is also a ruthless character, but the navy is stronger.

Looking at the United States again, it is Japan that faces the strongest enemy in relative strength and wins. Japan is not an army power at all, in Europe it is about the level of Czechoslovakia. After the victory of World War II, if the US military landed in Japan and smashed the Japanese resistance head-on, it might help the United States build confidence on land.

But the fact is that only a few years after the end of World War II, the United States suffered a blow in the Korean War when it felt most self-conscious, and the Army's self-confidence did not build up. To be honest, even if the United States took the opportunity to attack India once, the confidence in the Army would have been built much better. When formulating strategies, it would not consider the issue of the Army’s failure to win, and fought defensive counterattacks in South Vietnam for more than ten years.

Every time something happens, what the United States thinks is to betray the servant country. In this respect, the United States is not as good as Japan. Japan really dares to fight a full-scale war with imperial Russia and the Soviet Union.

This kind of lack of confidence in its own army has also pitted the United States in later generations. Bush's Middle East roadmap was taken out when the United States was the most lonely and seeking defeat. Iran has won Afghanistan in the east and Iraq in the west. As long as Iran is killed , there is no thorn in the World Energy Center.

As a result, after so many years, the United States did not do anything, and finally withdrew its troops in Afghanistan, and the Middle East roadmap failed. The consequences of the failure of this strategy are comparable to the destruction of Imperial Russia by two of Churchill's warships.

"Alan, are you exaggerating?" Aiden grinned and asked, "You said the same thing at the Pentagon."

"The marshal told me not to expose shortcomings in the allies. What I said at the Pentagon was that the U.S. military would win. But in reality?" Alan Wilson said with a bit of difficulty. "Strategically, it is only the 17th parallel north. The U.S. military is staying in South Vietnam and waiting for North Vietnam to attack. Isn't this a strategy of not believing in the combat effectiveness of the army? I feel that Moscow sees the idea of ​​the U.S. military's delay in attacking, and sooner or later will understand that this strategy cannot win at all. "

Throughout the Vietnam War, even decades later, no one can understand what the U.S. strategy is. They can only understand that the Vietnam War really happened, and the U.S. spent hundreds of billions of dollars.

After finishing his thoughts, Alan Wilson has not forgotten that this is Mountbatten's view, and from a personal point of view, he hopes that Prime Minister Aiden will not speak out. He is not shirking the responsibility on his father-in-law. Mountbatten did reveal that the United States' arrangement, which is almost like a tortoise, cannot win at all.

The question arises. Even a marshal of the British navy can see that he cannot win. Why does the United States fight the war like this? Did the Pentagon just run to make money from the beginning?

"It's a pessimistic view. If you say that at the Pentagon, it may destroy the good relationship between the marshal and the US military." Aiden couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"So we still have to support the United States in public opinion, and shape the very passive strategy of the United States into a positive image that has no ambition and only protects the freedom and rights of South Vietnam. By the way, we pray that the United States must win, otherwise it will be defeated, and it will create a lot of images. Positively, crimes during the war will also be exposed."

This is for sure. Before Alan Wilson came back, Li Mei once said that the Pentagon and Dow Chemical were talking. If he remembered correctly, Dow Chemical had two high-profile events. One was the production of oranges during the Vietnam War. The other is the Bhopal incident in India. The former created millions of human deformities, and the latter made Bhopal without hundreds of thousands of laborers overnight. Chemical weapons are so terrifying, no wonder it is called the atomic bomb of poor countries.

Aiden nodded knowingly, and that was the only way to do it, hoping that the United States would not have the worst outcome, such as defeat. At the same time, the United Kingdom cannot be involved, and must show a flexible position.

Aiden told Alan Wilson that the current diplomatic work was to mediate the Indo-Pakistani war with the Soviets in Stockholm. According to the communication with the Soviets at the diplomatic level, the two countries agreed to put India at the negotiating table. Recover the losses on the battlefield.

In fact, India did not lose anything, but it did lose 500 square kilometers of land on the book. Such a large piece of land is a drop in the bucket for India and Pakistan, but both the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union believe that this land should be returned to India.

From this point of view, India must be at a disadvantage. In this war, India suffered a big loss in the air force. It was entirely by virtue of the advantage of the country’s size that it stabilized the front line and made Pakistan unable to fight. Pakistan was still a reserve NATO country in the eyes of the United States at this time, so it gave support in many aspects, including radar technology.

Pakistan has a number of prevention and control early warning radars, and these radars are guarded by anti-aircraft guns. The Indian Air Force cannot rely on these radars, but it was discovered 200 kilometers away, and there is no chance to attack Pakistan's military bases.

Of course, in order to stop the war between India and Pakistan, after the end of the tank war, the United States announced an embargo on Pakistan, and the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union also announced an embargo on India. It is true that normal times should be reversed, but in times of war, the three countries of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union wanted to stop the war between the two countries, and they chose to impose an embargo policy on the countries they supported.

India and Pakistan, nominally heeding the call of the United Nations, are actually sending people to Stockholm to seek support in determining the ownership of the 500 square kilometers. Because the United States was busy with the Vietnam War, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union have decided to take sides and let India take back the occupied land.

Aiden has made a promise to Shastri to help take back the occupied land, and Alan Wilson expressed his approval of the Prime Minister's foresight, "In the case of the embargo, India can mobilize far more troops than Pakistan, don't look at it. Now Pakistan is getting a little bit of a bargain. Once India’s mobilization is complete, the land occupied by Pakistan cannot be held. If Pakistan does not agree to hand over the land, reopening India at the end of the war can also achieve its goal.”

This is the advantage of having a large land and a large population at the same technical level. Even if India suffers temporarily, it is Pakistan who will suffer in the end if it continues.

"However, in terms of public opinion, now that India has lost its land, we should portray India as a loser and demonstrate the role of Britain in upholding justice for India. I wonder what the Soviets think?"

Aiden listened to Alan Wilson and felt that it was more in India's interest to cast India as a loser~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in the coming Stockholm meeting to help build British leadership.

Alan Wilson listened to Aiden's expression of optimism, and said in his heart that the countdown to the UK's loss of India is the countdown. India will become more and more inclined to the Soviet Union, because Brezhnev has come to power. But you can't do that kind of injustice.

However, the UK will find opportunities to build influence. What is so scary about the United States is that it is not that he can lead the world to get rich. In fact, the most terrible ability is that the United States can also smash the pot, but the United States generally does not do that, because The United States is the biggest beneficiary of the world order.

The United Kingdom can also take the blame. For example, in the third Indo-Pakistani war that will lead to the independence of Bangladesh, the United Kingdom can fully sublimate it to protect the human rights of Bangladesh. rescued from the occupation.

Of course, that will be in the future. Now let's deal with this India-Pakistan war first. Aiden finally told Alan Wilson a piece of good news about the plan of the large battleship as the carrier of the test ship, that is, the missile battleship USS Mountbatten. Agreed in principle, all the latest equipment will be launched in a drastic manner.

The Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of National Defense, Markins, said in a subsequent report that the two Eagle-class aircraft carriers have returned to the mainland, and steam catapults must be installed at the same time as the upgrades are carried out.

Just as the Stockholm Conference was about to be held, the Battle of the Drang Valley started, the first large-scale ground battle since the arrival of US troops in South Vietnam.
