Chapter 713: The 17th Parallel

"General, the frequency of harassing attacks on the part of the North Vietnamese People's Army has increased recently, and this week our patrol and the opposing patrol have encountered 79 skirmishes, and according to the people who have encountered the patrol of the North Vietnamese side, our people have come back to report that the soldiers of the North Vietnamese patrol are very combat-ready and have very strange abilities, so this is a lot of losses for our patrol.

Calm had been restored to the U.S. military base in Binhwa, and the North Vietnamese army besieged the U.S. military base in Binhwa for months, but after the strong supply of supplies by the U.S. army, and the secret agreement between the United States and Thailand, and a large number of U.S. soldiers used the Thai-Vietnamese border as a springboard, the North Vietnamese army had to return to end the battle in vain.

In this battle, which was initiated by the Vietnamese army and named the 'Spring Offensive', the North Vietnamese side can be described as a brilliant victory, annihilating the military strength of five French divisions in the first battle, defeating the Italian and Spanish forces, and mobilizing a large army to surround the Americans who had just entered the war and beating them severely.

Needless to say, the losses of the French in this battle were absolutely very heavy.

Taken aback by the North Vietnamese's strength, Greece and Italy began to cower from then on, and all their troops ran to the rear controlled by the government of Ngo Dinh Diem, the third puppet regime in South Vietnam, and the front line and other military points were handed over to the Americans.

Therefore, the Americans, who joined the war at the request and interests of the French, suddenly changed from a supporting role to the second leading actor, and took on those responsibilities that should have been borne by the French, and I have to say that this thing is very strange.

Fortunately, the Americans also have their own plans, so they pinched their noses and admitted this big loss, and secretly kept asking the French to pay as much compensation as possible.

The French military forces were lost in the 'Spring Offensive' launched by North Vietnam, resulting in the French military forces of the puppet regime in North Vietnam now having only one division left, and the military strength of this division was obviously not enough for the erosion of the situation in Vietnam.

Although the French government was interested in re-recruiting young people into the army in order to increase its military presence in Vietnam, protests against the increase in troops in the French came one after another, and at the same time, a large number of people demanded an end to the Vietnam War, so the French authorities were very anxious.

Not to mention the French powers, mutants, and even vampires have begun to stand up and announce the abandonment of Vietnam's attitude, and at the same time, French President Dangbei also died in assassination, so France is now in a mess and can no longer take care of Vietnam.

And because of the chaos in the French country, Greece, Italy, Spain and other countries that had already sent troops began to retreat and secretly prepare to withdraw their troops.

It's not surprising that those who are now standing up for the presidency in France, as well as the support groups behind them, are playing cards and slogans to end the Vietnam War.

Therefore, it can be seen from this point that whoever is the new president of the country will be in power in the future, and the Vietnam War will definitely be withdrawn.

So why did Greece, Italy, and Spain, which were originally helping idlemen, continue to hold on to Vietnam when the French withdrew their troops?

For a time, in addition to the Americans, Greece, Italy, and Spain on the Vietnamese side began to secretly make small calculations to prepare for the withdrawal of troops.

The Americans, who took over the military defense of North and South Vietnam along the 17th parallel, will inevitably have fewer exchanges of fire with the North Vietnamese troops, which means that the Americans are now watching the pressure of the North Vietnamese troops.

This attitude of the United States has won praise from European countries.

But in fact, Americans also have their own little calculations.

After taking over the military defense of the 17th parallel, which was ceded by Spain, Greece, Italy, and France, the U.S. military established more than a dozen military bases along the demarcation line and began a massive bombing offensive called Operation Rolling Thunder in the military area of North Vietnam.

The bombing campaign of Operation Rolling Mine solved the problem of old military stockpiles for the Americans, allowing the Americans to use North Vietnamese soil as an "ammunition destruction" field.

This plan was put forward by Kim Hyun-tae at the beginning, and was put into practice after high-level discussions between the US military and the government, and its effect was very good, both the military and the arms company giants got benefits, and even some congressional lords also got benefits.

You know, after the old arms are consumed in this way, it is inevitable to buy new goods, right?

Besides, the Americans fought in Vietnam, and it was the French who gave the benefits.

It is tantamount to saying that the Americans are mercenaries of the French.

So, if the French pay the bill, the Americans will make good use of it.

It's not something that happens very often.

But the Americans, who took over the military defense of the 17-degree demarcation line, also found that they were under great military pressure from North Vietnam, and were not as optimistic as they thought they were before entering the war.

The middle-level military stratum of the US military will not know that, in fact, the US military has long expected that the US military will not be able to win this war.

But why did the Americans insist on it, knowing they could not win, instead of withdrawing like Greece, Spain, Italy, and France?

Benefit!

Although the United States could not win the final victory in the war, as long as the Americans stayed in Vietnam for one day, there would be great benefits and benefits for the United States.

This interest is not about the economy, but about the military.

According to the idea provided by Kim Hyun-tae, the US military can use Vietnam to train troops, experiment with new weapons, and also clear the stockpile of ammunition, which can be described as a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

The army needs actual combat, and weapons also need actual combat testing, not to mention the old stockpiled ammunition, which needs to be destroyed by itself when it reaches its age, and it will cost a lot of money to destroy it.

But on the Vietnamese side, everything can be solved.

So even though they knew that they would have to face the military pressure of North Vietnam alone, the Americans gritted their teeth and continued to hold on.

As for the combined interests of the military and government leaders, as well as the arms giants, how many young Americans will lose their lives in Vietnam...... Hehe, no one thinks about it.

The hearts of capitalists and politicians are black, and human life is just a cold number for these people, how can they care?

Besides, these people can reap huge benefits for themselves in Vietnam's military problems, so they don't care how many people will die.

Of course, Anne and Kim Hyun-tae, after the United States entered the Vietnam War, also gained their own interests.

Needless to say, Anne's side, Kim Hyun-tae alone has obtained a large order for military vehicles because of the solution, which has made the Hummer he bought a stable sales.

The list of 400,000 Humvees is just one of the benefits, but the rest is also a medicine for tropical diseases, the right to press in Vietnam, and so on.

Not to mention that Kim Hyun Tae has entered the eyes of the military, and with the help of old George, Kim Hyun Tae has entered the hearts of many military high-level officials and has been observed.

Otherwise, how could he have successfully entered West Point.

Obviously, the generals in power in the U.S. military tacitly supported George Sr. in cultivating him.

After all, Kim Hyun-tae showed that he was very radical and had a very good taste for military generals, and the United States at that time also needed a hawkish rich man like Kim Hyun-tae to identify with him.

You know, being good friends with the hawkish rich is not bad for the hawk camp after all, is it?

At the very least, he will be able to get a lot of money from Kim Hyun-tae in the future, and he won't go to the National Assembly to do some secret military projects on his own, right?

"Is Hulk back?"

General Patton, who had listened to his men's report, put down the cigar in his hand and asked.

An officer holding a confidential folder responded, "Lieutenant Colonel Hulk hasn't come back yet." ”

General Patton, the supreme commander of Binhua Base, looked down at the map on the table, and said to the officers around him: "I have reason to believe that the North Vietnamese army has recruited capable people and mutants, and we need to tell the Pentagon about this and let them take countermeasures as soon as possible, after all, my soldiers are ordinary people, once the North Vietnamese army allows capable people or mutants to attack us, then this is not something we can resist." ”

Before General Patton could finish speaking, an officer standing beside him asked, "General, can we ask the Pentagon to start recruiting capable people and mutants as well?"

The words of this officer, who had the rank of colonel, made everyone's eyes light up.

Yes, if the North Vietnamese did this, why couldn't they do the same?

You know, there are a lot of capable people and mutants in the United States, and there are many powerful existences, and if that existence can come to North Vietnam, there will be much less pressure on the U.S. military here.

At the very least, it can also deter North Vietnam from fighting a conventional war with the United States.

Patton glanced at the officers in front of him, then sighed and said: "I don't want to do it myself, but it's a complicated matter, and the small-scale use of abilities and mutants may not be a big deal, but once it is used on a large scale in the army, it will cause a lot of trouble, so the Pentagon will not do it." ”

"General, what will we do if the North Vietnamese army does this?"

"Yes, General, we're too passive. ”

"Five days ago, a 36-man patrol of ours encountered North Vietnamese Abilities on patrol and all of them were annihilated, which is a clear sign that North Vietnam is starting to use Abilities or mutant soldiers against us. ”

"Don't be afraid, we still have Hulk and the team under Lieutenant Colonel Hulk, so we don't have to be too afraid of unrestricted warfare on the North Vietnamese side!"

"I know Hulk is very strong, and his team members are also very good, but after all, Lieutenant Colonel Hulk's team is a little too small, which is an obvious disadvantage. ”

For a moment, the officers around General Patton, you shouted word by word.

When General Patton saw such a scene, he sighed again in his heart. (To be continued.) )
