Tangcheng had no idea whether the 100,000 casualties mentioned in the US military's military exercise were real. But he knew that if the US military attacked the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, the Southern Xinjiang army might not be a match for the US military, but it would be absolutely impossible for the US military to occupy the entire Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. When it comes to their ability in mountain warfare, the Vietnamese army, which has caused headaches for the US military, is like a little brother to the Southern Xinjiang Army. Therefore, as long as the U.S. military goes deep into the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom and engages in ground battles with the Southern Xinjiang Army, the U.S. military's casualties will definitely not be small.
Tang Cheng has always been wary of Americans. It's not that he is afraid of Americans, but that he doesn't want to conflict with them without any purpose. Coupled with Thomas's persuasion and reminder, Tang Cheng now only wants to pay attention to the development of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. As for what will happen to the Vietnamese, Tang Cheng also doesn't care. The U.S.-Vietnam War has become more and more intense as time goes by. Although the U.S. military's battle reports say that the Vietnamese army was defeated steadily, the casualties of the U.S. military are increasing every day.
Time passed like this day by day. As the casualties of the US military continued to increase, anti-war factions began to appear in the United States. They organized marches and speeches, hoping that the government could withdraw its troops and end the bottomless war against Vietnam. This situation in the United States was learned by the Soviets. They quickly increased their support for the Vietnamese army, hoping that the Vietnamese army could hold back the US military and take the opportunity to consume more US troops. The longer the time drags on, the greater the casualties of the US military will be. This is exactly the result that the Soviets hope to see.
In 1973, due to the increasingly fierce anti-war situation in the country, the U.S. government finally ordered the withdrawal of its troops. The North Vietnamese Army immediately moved south in a large scale, captured Saigon in 1975, and unified Vietnam the following year. However, during the US-Vietnam War, the Kingdom of Southern Xinjiang vigorously developed its economy and launched active commercial cooperation with Europe. Simeon cigarettes, which has been expanded many times, now accounts for 50% of the European tobacco market, and has actively promoted the development of Simeon and the domestic tobacco growing industry.
The canned fruits, frozen dried fruits and various juices from the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom have become the favorites of Europe's upper class. Thanks to the unique climate of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, the fruits grown here are rich in multiple vitamins and are far superior to fruits grown in Europe. A large number of Southern Xinjiang fruits are sold to European countries every year. Britain, which had regained its strength, still followed its original path and became the financial center of Europe. Stocks and futures became part of people's lives in London.
Tang Cheng once reminded the British royal family and Thomas, but unfortunately they didn't listen at all. Many of the British nobles Tang Cheng knew had lost everything because of their participation in financial speculation. The British royal family also suffered losses. Fortunately, they still have business cooperation with Tangcheng. Even if they suffer losses in the financial market, they can get supplements from other businesses. In 1070, Thomas, who was over sixty years old, finally allowed a 22-year-old British woman to give birth to a baby boy after secretly receiving Chinese medicine for two years to regulate his body.
The Thomas family had an heir, which was undoubtedly good news. In return, Thomas gave the textile factory in the southern part of Dongtai Mansion to Tangcheng, and also persuaded Downing Street to sell a bankrupt automobile factory to the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. In short, during the U.S.-Vietnam War, the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom entered a stage of rapid development. Taking advantage of this period of time when the Americans had no time to care about themselves, Tangcheng established many light industries in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. In 1979, the Vietnamese army, which thought they had repelled the US military, became more and more aggressive. Not only did they provoke the southern Xinjiang army on the border, they also once crossed the border to sneak attack on Chinese villages.
In February 1979, the unbearable domestic government decided to launch a counterattack. Tangcheng, which received the domestic telegram in advance, immediately convened a meeting to discuss the matter. After the U.S. military withdrew from Vietnam in 1973, the Vietnamese army, backed by the Soviet Union, made many provocative moves against the southern Xinjiang army. If it weren't for the strict restraint issued by Tangcheng at that time, the Southern Xinjiang Army on the border might have invaded Vietnam long ago. The Bureau has been secretly collecting intelligence on Vietnam for a long time. The military in southern Xinjiang once regarded Vietnam as an imaginary enemy and conducted many war deductions.
"I just received a telegram from the north. Due to the constant provocations of the Vietnamese, the north has decided to send troops to teach those Vietnamese monkeys a lesson!" The conference room was full of people, and Tang Cheng's opening remarks were very simple and direct. Everyone in the conference room was immediately aroused by Tang Cheng's words. There was no fool who could come here to participate in the meeting. They immediately realized that Tang Cheng might be going to take action against Vietnam. After looking around at everyone, Tang Cheng smiled slightly and then said his plan.
"That's right! Vietnam is a piece of meat, although it is not fat, but it is still a piece of meat. Therefore, we are going to take advantage of the situation this time and take over Vietnam completely!" After the words fell in Tangcheng, everyone's expressions became more excited. "What the north means is that they are going to use this opportunity to conduct a round of training for the domestic troops! In other words, except for the first round of the battle, they will take turns to deploy troops to fight in the subsequent battles. They feel that this is A good opportunity for practical training.”
"According to the north's plan, they should focus on positional warfare. We don't have as many troops in the country, so the tactics of positional warfare are not suitable for us. I plan to wait and see what happens. Waiting for all the main forces in Vietnam to be mobilized On the northern border line, let's stab him in the back. Behind the Vietnamese are the Soviets, but their hands can't reach our side. As long as we are fast enough, even if they react, they may not have time to do enough. countermeasures."
Tang Cheng's purpose had been made very clear, and everyone in the conference room began to discuss and formulate plans according to Tang Cheng's ideas. In February 1979, with the attention of Tang Cheng and others, the counterattack began. The domestic army fought very hard at the beginning. After receiving the telegram advice from Tangcheng, the domestic army quickly adjusted its tactics and tactics and firmly controlled the initiative on the battlefield in its own hands. However, the Southern Xinjiang Army did not respond, which made the Vietnamese military even more confident that the Southern Xinjiang Army would not participate.
In 1983, when the domestic army was planning to attack Laoshan, Zheyin Mountain and Balihedong Mountain, the Southern Xinjiang Army, which had been secretly preparing for four years, suddenly crossed the border and penetrated deep into Vietnam. A week before the Southern Xinjiang Army launched its attack, Hans had quietly gone to the United States. Thanks to the humiliating and failed retreat of the US military a few years ago, Hans immediately gained the support of the White House. The U.S. government even promised Hans that the U.S. government would fully support all actions taken by the Southern Xinjiang Army in Vietnam.
200,000 heavily armed southern Xinjiang troops crossed the border into Vietnam on the same day. This sudden change shocked the top brass of the Vietnamese military. On the one hand, they tried to condemn the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom through international public opinion, and on the other hand, they rescued the League of Nations and intervened. However, what they did not expect was that the Western society led by the United States was one-sided in condemning Vietnam. The photos Hans brought to the United States were immediately published on the front pages of major newspapers in the United States. They were all about Vietnamese troops crossing the border and attacking Chinese villages.
Like China, the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is a Chinese-dominated country, so the situation in the border villages is similar. Western society thinks that the content in these photos is that the Vietnamese army is attacking the border villages of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom. With the vigorous publicity by newspapers and radio stations in Western countries, the Kingdom of Southern Xinjiang became the party being invaded, so the Kingdom of Southern Xinjiang's sending troops was considered a just act by Western countries. Under this circumstance, Tangcheng quickly formed multiple indigenous militia units with more than 10,000 people, allowing them to attack the southern coastal areas of Vietnam after the army moved north.
More than 300,000 indigenous militia troops set out directly from Dongthai Province, inserted directly into Da Nang, Vietnam, and then headed south from Da Nang. The sneak attack from behind by the Southern Xinjiang Army threw the Vietnamese military into chaos. They wanted to withdraw their troops and return to defense, but the domestic army confronting them refused to let go. If they rashly allocate troops from the front line to defend, the domestic army will march straight in. Not only will they not be able to defend against the sneak attack of the southern Xinjiang army, but the frontal battlefield may also completely collapse.
Faced with such an unfavorable situation, the Vietnamese military urgently tried to contact Tangcheng through a third party. They were preparing to make peace with the southern Xinjiang Kingdom, but they were being attacked from the north. However, the Vietnamese military underestimated Tang Cheng's determination to annex Vietnam. Tang Cheng, suppressing a smile in his heart, pretended to agree to peace talks with the Vietnamese military while secretly contacting the country and informing the country's top officials of his purpose.
There was still a lot of discussion about this matter in the country. After learning that the military operation of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom had received support from the US and British governments, the country quickly unified its opinions. Rather than leaving a neighbor with double-minded intentions by his side, it would be better to watch the Southern Xinjiang Palace completely annex this unreliable neighbor. After the two sides unified their thoughts, the domestic army began to increase its attack intensity, while the Southern Xinjiang Army slowed down its advance.
Just when the Vietnamese military mistakenly believed that the Southern Xinjiang Army was ready to sit down and negotiate, the Southern Xinjiang indigenous militia forces that entered Vietnam suddenly began to systematically drive civilians from southern Vietnam into Laos and Cambodia on a large scale. The actions of the southern Xinjiang militia seemed to be to avoid unnecessary harm to Vietnamese civilians, but in fact they were to cut off the Vietnamese army's retreat.
In Vietnam, where almost all the people are in the army, the Vietnamese army, which has lost the support of the people and is concentrated in northern Vietnam, has lost the opportunity to increase troops at any time. Moreover, as civilians leave, problems will arise in the army's daily supplies. Even if the Soviets send arms supplies, locals will still be needed to transport them. The Southern Xinjiang Kingdom's move to wipe out the fire made the U.S. military, which was paying close attention to the war in Vietnam, sigh with emotion. After all, they did not expect this move at the beginning.
