Chapter 1721 Dongke Organization (first update, please subscribe)
The new year begins in absurdity and chaos.
Although the turmoil and absurdity continued to happen, the result was still good, everything was under control.
Just as the attention of the whole world was attracted by the Kingdom of Light, the storm and clouds around the world were changing.
First, after Dubcek of the Czech Republic came to power, he quickly launched reforms. When adjusting some officials, he also mobilized some experts and scholars to speed up the drafting of Czechoslovak reform opinions. Although the opinions have not been issued, it is well known that the neighbor Hungary is the best object of imitation. After all, in the past decade, Hungary's economy has developed rapidly, in sharp contrast with the deteriorating economic Czechoslovakia.
This year, spring in Prague began.
Just as Prague ushered in spring, the Organization of the Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries was established and headquartered in Kuwait City.
At the same time, in Saigon, on the night of the Spring Festival on January 30, more than half of the soldiers and police in South Vietnam were on vacation when more than 70,000 North Vietnamese soldiers and guerrillas launched a large-scale attack.
Not only that, they also launched attacks on more than 100 South Vietnamese cities, towns and military bases at the same time, making people feel that the entire South Vietnam is about to fall into the hands of North Vietnam. In the Stream, more than 6,000 US troops were surrounded by tens of thousands of North Vietnamese troops.
This is how the world is moving forward without being diverted by human will.
For many ordinary people, they don’t care about changes in the world, but for Li Yian, who is in the official residence, he has to face all this.
"...The greatest victory of the Spring Festival offensive was that Hanoi psychologically defeated the Americans. After the Spring Festival offensive, Americans no longer believed President Johnson's promise that "victory is coming."
Looking through the briefing in his hand, Li Yian frowned. While making this judgment, he thought of the series of impacts brought by this offensive.
After the Spring Festival offensive, the United States rejected its request to continue to increase its troops in Saigon. At the same time, Johnson also chose to give up this year's presidential election because of the public's opposition to him. After President Nixon takes office next year, he began to seriously consider how to end the war as soon as possible.
Not seriously considering it, in fact, during the campaign, given the high domestic anti-war sentiment, Nixon assured voters that he would formulate a secret plan to quickly end the war. Nixon's foreign policy prioritized the end of the Vietnam War.
Then what?
Soon, the war will end.
Nixon freed the United States from the "quagmire" of war. It also made him completely fail in Vietnam.
Recalling the information I had read in my heart, Li Yian's brows became tighter and tighter. In the next three years, the US military will withdraw from Saigon bit by bit, first stop increasing troops, then withdraw his troops, and then announce that he will not participate in the ground war.
As for the war of Saigonization, it is not nonsense at all.
Without the support of the US military, Saigon's army could not last long. As for the Paris Peace Agreement, it is also a piece of waste paper and has no binding force at all.
After the US military completely withdrew, soon Hanoi, as the signatories, launched a full-scale attack. In just a few months, South Vietnam was finished as a country.
Recalling all this, Li Yian stood up silently, then paced in the study, and finally stood by the window, as usual, turning his eyes out of the window and then thinking.
After thinking about it for a while, he walked back to his desk and took out another report, which was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ report - the recommendations on strengthening the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization.
The report was jointly drafted by the military, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the General Office of the Official Residence. This proposal was first formed two years ago.
The Southeast Asian Treaty Organization is a collective defense organization established in Siam thirteen years ago, and its headquarters is also located in Bangkok. The TOTO has nine members - SEA, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, New Zealand, Siam, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
After the establishment of the TOEF, the former quickly became insignificant in this regard due to the very little contribution of most member states to military affairs. The United States' membership within the organization provided a basis for its war in Vietnam, but the organization's own response agreement was vague.
Although when Western countries formed the East Treaty Organization, they intended to develop it into the Southeast Asian version of NATO. Coordinate the armies of each member state to achieve the goal of collective defense to form a Western Pacific defense system.
But unlike NATO, the TOTO has not set up an army under unified command. At most, it is just conducting joint military training, that's all.
But in contrast, the member states of the TOEF have made many progress in improving social and economic issues, and these activities are under the framework of the SEA's UNDP, which has facilitated the supervision and implementation of the Commission on Information, Culture, Education and Labour Activities.
In fact, over the past twelve years, SEA has strengthened the economic, social and cultural development of member states through the TOEIC and enhanced their prestige, influence and status internationally.
However, Li Yian’s goal is not just that. As early as when he joined the East Disaster, Li Yian, who knew his future destiny, formulated the strategy of “Tian Family Replacement Qi”.
It is to replace the United States' influence in the East Treaty Organization and eventually turn this platform built by the United States into its own.
The purpose of the United States and Australia joining this organization is to obtain appropriate reasons to participate in the Vietnam War.
After they withdraw from Saigon, they can withdraw from the organization, and France and the United Kingdom will also withdraw one after another. After all, they are not willing to assume any responsibility in Southeast Asia.
In this case, SEA will become the leader in the organization, and at that time, it can train the organization according to its own wishes, such as establishing the Dongyou Army and establishing a real collective security system, which is in the military, as well as economic, social and other aspects.
Dongyou... will eventually evolve into an organization like the EU. Of course, unlike the EU, there are leaders in this organization, and the others are just a group of younger brothers who are waving flags and cheering.
"Will it be too early to integrate now?"
Looking through the report in his hand, Li Yian frowned and said to himself:
"The best time should be a few years later, when the United States is undergoing a strategic contraction,"
The United States' strategic contraction is the so-called "evacuation of Asia", which is not just about withdrawing troops from Vietnam. According to the plan at that time, the United States would even withdraw troops from Siam and South Korea.
To put it bluntly, the United States wants to avoid being involved in the war again through this kind of lack of contact. This was just a plan in the Nixon era, and it was finally implemented in Vietnam.
But during the Carter period, the Carter government began to implement this plan seriously, which scared the Koreans directly.
For this reason, South Korea launched a massive retention campaign.
Although the United States did not withdraw from South Korea in the end, this strategic retreat from the United States is its own opportunity.
Just seize this opportunity and replace it.
"East Promise..."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
With his fingers gently hitting the document, Li Yian repeatedly considered the chance of replacing it.
"This opportunity is still very high, as long as the Americans see the threat of war, it is enough."
As long as the Americans can see the threat of war, they will definitely leave Asia happily.
As long as the United States leaves Asia, this place will be the world of SEA. As for the Eastern Agreement created by the Americans, it will also become a tool in their hands.
What is more important is that a circle of friends - a circle of friends covering politics, military, economics and other aspects will also be formed. And the person in this circle of friends is sEA.
"Western Pacific Discourse!"
Of course, it will definitely cost you to be a painter, and it is not just a handful of you.
Just like the emergency military aid provided to South Korea before and the simple deterrence of force, we are telling the potential brothers that even without the United States, the sEA will protect you.
And this protection is not only given to the members of the East Johor, but also some potential members, such as Saigon.
From a strategic perspective, Saigon is a place that must be preserved. Only by protecting Saigon can it be avoided. The Soviet Union's threat to the local area,
After all, Cam Ran Bay is completely different in its own hands, in the hands of its allies, and in the hands of the Soviet Union.
The plane taken off in Cam Ran Bay only needs to fly more than 1,000 km to threaten Chang'an, and the real threat must be considered.
Therefore, we must save Saigon no matter what, or in other words, we must retake Saigon at the right time, just like helping the restoration of Siam, and helping the restoration of South Vietnam in Saigon. Of course, the restoration was not the so-called president, but the emperor... After all, Tianfu and Tianci were his son, and this was also his promise to Nan Fang. Although she had passed away due to a heart disease a few years ago, the promise was a promise.
Li Yian's brows became tighter and tighter after repeatedly deducing the changes in the situation in the region in the next few years.
With the contraction of the United States, the situation in the Asia-Pacific region will undergo earth-shaking changes. How to seize this favorable opportunity and further expand its own influence is a layout that must be made in advance.
What is more important is how to reconcile the contradiction with the Soviet Union in the process of expanding its influence.
Just like that, he turned his attention to the report in his hand. After pondering for a long time, Li Yian said to himself:
"It seems that it's time to visit the Soviet Union!"
Now the Soviet Union is the key to the future, and it is necessary to reach a consensus with the Soviet Union to some extent. Otherwise, fierce conflicts in a few years will be inevitable, and it is time to launch a new cooperative relationship with the Soviet Union.
But what kind of gift should I prepare for the Medal Emperor when I went to the Soviet Union?
"Do you want to give him a medal?"
Li Yian couldn't help but complain:
"In that case, the medal would be too cheap..."
