Chapter 485: Schadenfreude
After ending the call with Jo Ann in Los Angeles, Kim Hyun-tae couldn't sleep for the time being, so he could only get up and get out of bed and come to the living room, turn on the LCD TV in the living room and prepare to watch the midnight program to pass the time.
Because of the different times between the two places, it is more than 9 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, but it is already 2 o'clock in the morning in China.
Kim Hyun-tae himself has a very inconspicuous little problem, that is, once he is woken up while sleeping, he will not feel sleepy, maybe this little problem is the only bad problem in him.
Hey, who knows.
I took a can of chilled juice from the fridge in the living room, then grabbed a glass from the bar next to me and walked over to the couch and sat down.
Although it was already more than 1 o'clock in the morning, Huaxia TV in different time and space still had a lot of programs to watch, such as some soap operas, and midnight movies and television specially for night owls.
It's a pity that Jin Xiantai has little interest in these programs, he took the remote control and adjusted a few stations, and locked the channel to the international news station of Huaxia in a different time and space, and then he picked up the juice very leisurely, poured a glass into the glass cup, and then picked up the cup and took a sip, then leaned on the back of the sofa and watched the midnight news.
[According to the latest news from Reuters in France, the North Vietnamese army has completely annihilated five French infantry divisions trapped in Ha Tinh Province, and repelled the reinforced Italian 505th and 506th Infantry Divisions, and defeated the Spanish 918th Infantry Division. 】
Because it is an international news channel, what is broadcast in this channel is some international behavior news, and in recent times, in addition to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, it is the war waged by the multinational joint forces in Vietnam.
And because the United States is also officially involved in this war, Kim Hyun-tae has also become more concerned about this, and at the same time, he also keeps up with the latest news from time to time.
At this moment, this news from Huaxia International News Channel is exactly what Kim Hyun-tae needs.
However, the news revealed in this news does not seem to be good news for the United States, France and other relevant countries.
Of course, this is great news for the countries of the socialist camp.
"The French in a different time and space are weak chickens, five infantry divisions were actually surrounded and annihilated, and two Italian infantry divisions and one Spanish infantry division that came to reinforce were defeated, this French face is a big loss. ”
In the mood to watch a good show, Kim Hyun-tae commented on the news in his heart, after all, he was not at all interested in France's colonial war against Vietnam.
However, unlike the time and space where he used to live, the French in another time and space have been fighting wars for decades in order to maintain the status and identity of the colonizers of Vietnam and the interests of the local area, but they have not been defeated in just a few years like another time and space, which is something that surprised Kim Hyun Tae.
However, considering that this is a different time and space, there will be some differences to some extent, so for this kind of relatively surprising thing, Kim Hyun Tae can also accept and understand.
So now that France ceded the benefits of the Panama Canal in exchange for direct military support from the Americans, how long can they now support it in Vietnam?
Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help but think about it secretly in his heart.
After all, looking at the current appearance of the French who are strong and middle-class, and the vulnerable posture of their army, Kim Hyun-tae still does not think that the situation of the French will be reversed.
After all, they are now provoking all the North Vietnamese soldiers, so relying only on the support of Italy and Spain and the American ** team, this war is also very difficult for the French.
No matter what kind of war it is, once one side is a soldier, then it is not a good thing for the other side.
Because you won't know where and when you will be shot, and then die in obscurity and worthlessness, leaving your relatives far away in your homeland to grieve for yourself.
In war, the low-level soldiers are the saddest and most pitiful group of people, benefiting only those high-ranking officials and politicians who are far behind the security.
Of course, the French have not been able to defend the war that took place in Vietnam in another time and space, after all, they are considered aggressors to the Vietnamese people, so this war is not just for the multinational forces at all.
And for North Vietnam, their resistance to the French and their supporters is the justice that is recognized by the public.
But the question of justice and injustice still has to be spoken of with guns in the end, and it is also necessary to see which side will win in the end to count.
Truth is only within cannon range.
This statement is not without reason.
Fortunately, the North Vietnamese military power gradually began to suppress the French, and with the support of the woolly bear and the rabbit, it became stronger and stronger, so the 'justice' of the French began to fade away, and justice was already tilted towards the North Vietnamese side.
As for the American side that was involved at this point in time, of course, it was also a member of the 'injustice' camp, so it was normal for the North Vietnamese military to be included in the ranks of the enemy.
The United States has now sent three infantry divisions to the South Vietnamese side, as well as a large number of logistics personnel, about 120,000 men, and has placed their bases in Binhwa, a very close area to the North Vietnamese-controlled area.
The reason why the military base was placed in Binhwa was also because the Chinese people planned to let the military power of the Americans help to take advantage of it.
Of course, the U.S. side has no objection to this arrangement, after all, they also know that since they are here, they can't stay in the safe rear and do nothing, so even if they guessed the plans of the French, the U.S. side still accepted this place.
It's just that because the time is too short, the infrastructure of the Binhwa military base has not yet been completed, so some necessary defense facilities have not been built, so the military threat from North Vietnam at this time can give the Americans a bit of a headache.
And the Americans did not expect that the French would be so unable to fight, and the infantry division with a modern armament of five divisions would be completely wiped out like this!
That's right, it was a total annihilation, not defeat or defeat, and the military strength of the entire five infantry divisions was wiped out in the Ha Tinh province area, so this created a large gap in the military force on the dividing line between South Vietnam and North Vietnam, and there was a big gap in the multinational forces.
It will take time to mobilize troops from other places to fill the gap in a short period of time.
What's more, the internal parts of South Vietnam are not very stable, the North Vietnamese guerrillas infiltrate very strongly, and small-scale battles occur every day, all of which require the army to suppress and stabilize the situation.
So taking into account the survival of this factor, then the French, who destroyed five infantry divisions, now have the military strength to fill the military void in the demarcation line?
Obviously, this is a nuisance.
And what kind of virtue the Italian army is, that is not to be considered, this is a well-known thing.
That's right, the Italian army in another time and space is also very 'stupid', and these guys are definitely good at letting them pick up girls, but if you let them fight, then it's ...... Hehe.
The Spanish army was good, but their number in South Vietnam was too small.
Therefore, the US troops on the Binhua side are now nervous, and the atmosphere in this area has plummeted, and the clouds of war have hovered over Binhua, and the North Vietnamese people living here have to drag their families and flee south with a simple salute, and this scene has been faithfully recorded by reporters sent by many countries with cameras.
Such a scene was also broadcast on the Huaxia International News Channel.
The female reporter who did not appear in the picture denounced the harm caused to the Vietnamese people by the French imperialist acts in a very sad and indignant tone, and also criticized the accomplice countries that supported the French, but what she said was not unreasonable, the aggressors were indeed not a good thing.
It's just that Kim Hyun-tae is also a member of imperialism now, so he listens to the criticism of the faceless female reporter, and his heart is a little unnatural.
Who made his heart hold the American 'hukou', and he was the 'banana man' in the eyes of everyone.
[I'm from another time and space, I'm not the same kind of person as you, I'm from another ......], Kim Hyun-tae, who felt a little embarrassed, began to keep muttering such words in his heart, self-hypnotizing and suggesting to himself, maybe he thought that this would make him feel better.
Well, the effect is very good, after he hinted at hypnotism for a while, the embarrassment in his heart did disappear a lot.
At this moment, the picture in the LCD TV screen turned, and a somewhat bloody picture appeared.
[Our reporter was allowed to take pictures of the position scene after the battle in Ha Tinh Province, so let the photographer take you to see the fate of imperialist acts. 】
The female reporter who did not show up said this very passionately.
The smoke of gunfire has not yet cleared in the picture, stumps and broken arms can be seen everywhere, deep pits blown by shells, and barbed wire fences that have been blown up, as well as corpses that have lost their breath of life, of course, most of the corpses are European characteristics with big noses, and obviously those are the corpses of soldiers of the French infantry division.
Maybe there is no such thing as children inappropriate on this side of the time and space, or maybe it's because the time is early in the morning, so such a picture will be played, right?
Kim Hyun-tae didn't want to explore this question, and his attention and eyes were attracted by the TV picture.
There were more than 120,000 men in five French infantry divisions, and it was absolutely impossible for all of them to die on the battlefield, so a large number of captured French soldiers appeared in the picture.
They were dressed in rags and smoke, and their eyes were very dull to sit on the ground, and from the television screen it seemed that they could not see the end at a glance, God knows how many people were captured, and the French were really sad.
[This is the fate of the aggressor, for anyone who invades our country, we will give a fierce response, our North Vietnamese People's Army ......], a man in a North Vietnamese military uniform stood in front of the camera and began to talk.
At this time, Kim Hyun-tae, who was sitting in front of the TV, picked up the juice and drank it, looking like he was gloating about the plight of the French, but at the same time he didn't care about himself. (To be continued.) )
