: The sense of crisis in South Vietnam!
Ruan Wenyue looked at the military generals present with a heavy expression.
The military generals present included Chief of General Staff Pan Junwen, Army Commander Nguyen Xinyu, Navy Commander Tran Thanh, Air Force Commander Vu Chia Ke; General Government Minister Chen Guang, General Intelligence Minister Pham Chun Minh, General Logistics Minister Hu Tianmin and others.
They are all senior generals of South Vietnam, with the lowest military rank being major general.
Although South Vietnam has reduced its army in the past thirty or forty years and vigorously developed national industry, the army still has its own place. The South Vietnamese army even has a special feature, that is, it can do business.
Therefore, behind many of the real economies of South Vietnam, there is a military background, and the military has its own economic sources.
Moreover, South Vietnam has a compulsory military system. Adult men between the ages of 18 and 25 must complete twenty-four months of service. “503” means that most adult men in South Vietnam have received the most basic military training.
South Vietnam has received assistance from the Dragon Kingdom since the War of Independence, and many systems were copied from the Dragon Kingdom’s military system. Although they later broke up with the Dragon Kingdom and were severely beaten by the Dragon Kingdom, the South Vietnam Kingdom still touched the Dragon Kingdom. The country crossed the river and followed the development path of the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, the government factions of South Vietnam basically have military backgrounds.
For example, the current Prime Minister Nguyen Van Yuet, although his written background is a politician, in fact Nguyen Van Yuet’s father is a retired lieutenant general of the South Vietnamese military and even participated in the war of aggression against the Khmer Kingdom.
After Nguyen Van Viet became Prime Minister, he also received a special military rank and served as Minister of Defense, leading the military and administration.
When Ruan Wenyue said that he wanted to develop armaments to cope with the war, the military generals present, although they had already made assumptions, still looked at each other with some worries.
Since the South Vietnam Kingdom was beaten once by the Dragon Kingdom, it has restrained a lot. Subsequently, it has withdrawn its troops from Laos and the Khmer Kingdom, reduced its armaments, and turned to the development of national industry and people’s livelihood.
Therefore, the army has not fought a war for decades.
Since the end of the border conflict with the Dragon Kingdom in the 1980s, the South Vietnamese army has reduced its army by more than 400,000 people, reducing the original army of one million troops to only more than 600,000 people.
Up to now, there are only about 500,000 people.
So what have the South Vietnamese troops been doing over the years?
Doing business! Making money!
In the turbulent 1990s, after the South Vietnamese army was laid off, those retired soldiers were sent to factories, and most of these factories were opened by the military.
The army has set up a large number of factories, the air force has also stopped civilian air transport, and the navy has made money by shipping and fishing at the same time.
As a result, most of the entire South Vietnam country’s real economy and industrial system are controlled by the military, thus forming a “military nobles” system in South Vietnam.
Military factories offer good remuneration, high wages, and various benefits. Many people are eager to join.
When recruiting in military factories, priority will be given to relatives and friends of internal personnel.
These military generals also have various factories under their names. In recent years, they have competed with the Dragon Kingdom’s labor market for international orders. They have used cheaper labor than the Dragon Kingdom to attract many Western companies to open OEM factories and make a lot of money. Full.
Now you want everyone to prepare for war? !
Many military generals present were unwilling to do so.
Seeing the expressions of the generals present, Ruan Wenyue also guessed the Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, so he looked at Chief of General Staff Pan Junwen.
Before this military meeting, Ruan Wenyue and several senior officials held a small meeting. Although there were some differences, the opinions on strengthening armaments were unified.
Pan Junwen, who was stared at by Ruan Wenyue, slowly stood up and said to everyone: “The war between Qin and Siam is too fast. It has only been five days since the war was declared on the evening of the 9th! The entire Kingdom of Siam, the navy The fleet was completely destroyed! The air force was completely destroyed! More than 300,000 army troops were beaten and fled! Now the Qin army in Siam is like no one!”
“When the Qin army takes over the Kingdom of Siam, their next target will definitely be the Lao Kingdom, the Khmer Kingdom in the Golden Triangle, or even us!”
Seeing that everyone was still unmoved, Pan Junwen narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: “Don’t forget, everyone, what we did to the Chinese 45 years ago…”
When Pan Junwen said these words, the expressions of all the military generals present suddenly changed.
Many people began to discuss quietly. 0.
A naval staff officer directly asked: “Chief of General Staff, what does this mean? Are the Chinese in Qin related to the Chinese in South Vietnam?”
Forty-five years ago, as soon as South Vietnam ended its war with Eagle Country and completed the reunification of the north and south, it began to exclude the Chinese.
At that time, there were more than 300,000 Chinese from the Long Kingdom who came to support the South Vietnamese army, and all of them were expelled as spies.
The Chinese ethnic group in South Vietnam were also forcibly arrested and imprisoned on the grounds of being a reactionary class and lackeys of the Eagle Nation, and were either driven directly into the sea or deported to their situation.
There were more than two million Chinese in South Vietnam at that time, and they suffered heavy casualties.
More than 40 years have passed, and until now, the number of Chinese in South Vietnam has not returned to the same number as before.
As we all know, the Chinese are a hard-working nation, and the Chinese who work hard overseas are also relatively wealthy, because most Chinese have the habit of saving money.
More than 40 years ago, the Chinese in South Vietnam controlled 80% of the local economy and 75% of the mines, sugar cane gardens, plantations, textile industry and other industrial companies.
After the Chinese community was excluded by South Vietnam, these assets naturally fell into the hands of the South Vietnamese military.
The families of these South Vietnamese generals present more or less robbed Chinese assets during this anti-Chinese campaign.
So when Pan Junwen said such a 2.5 paragraph, the military generals present were a little confused.
They suddenly discovered that the Chinese ethnic group that had been at the mercy of others seemed to have a backer.
Pan Junwen continued: “According to the information collected by the Intelligence Department, the Chinese ethnic group in Nanyang has shown signs of transferring assets to the Qin State. Although it is still very few, and may even have just begun, it is enough to show that the Qin State is absorbing a large number of Nanyang people. The Chinese community and Chinese funding.”
“Once these Chinese people enter the Qin State, they will inevitably have a certain influence in the Qin State. You must know that the monarch of the Qin State is a Chinese. Although the Chinese in the Qin State are a minority group, they are the ruling class. Siamese After the war is over, profit and desire for revenge will urge them to go to war against South Vietnam!”
“This is an unavoidable war!”.
