"Mr. President, at least one thing is true. The chiefs of staff agreed that losing South Vietnam would mean losing the whole of Southeast Asia." Maxwell Taylor informed the Pentagon's professional opinion and emphasized the chiefs' attitude towards this judgment. is consistent.

"I'll talk to the departments about this." Lyndon Johnson nodded and reassured Maxwell Taylor.

A day later, Lyndon Johnson held a meeting to discuss the situation in South Vietnam. The meeting included officials from the CIA, the Pentagon and the diplomatic field, which was full of gold.

Maxwell Taylor also attended again, and took out the Pentagon's unaltered professional advice that once the U.S. military retreats, the South Vietnamese regime will definitely not be sustainable. Retaining the current size of the garrison cannot prevent the infiltration of the North Vietnamese side. It is necessary to increase the force to completely defeat Hanoi and let it give up its ambitions for the South Vietnamese regime.

The CIA agrees that "the current situation will continue to erode the will and efficiency of the South Vietnamese in the coming weeks and will be enough to threaten the political underpinnings of current U.S. policies and objectives in South Vietnam."

He also emphasized that since North Vietnam's economy is mainly dependent on agriculture and a large number of highly scattered villages, it can be self-sufficient, so bombing can neither cause insurmountable economic difficulties for North Vietnam nor weaken Hanoi's ability to provide sufficient human and material resources for guerrilla warfare in the south. .

The CIA also noted that North Vietnamese leaders believed the collapse of the Saigon government was imminent, so they could endure massive bombing without changing policy.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk also came up with his own suggestions, and gave four solutions, in front of Lyndon Johnson, said, "One, continue to pursue the current course of action; two, take over the war; three, conduct a war on North Vietnam. Air strikes; 4. Seek a political solution. Our current policy makes South Vietnam increasingly weaker politically and militarily. Direct participation in the war will cost American lives in the jungle and rice fields. Bombing North Vietnam can neither destroy its will nor regenerate it frustrating its ability to support the Viet Cong in the south."

“In the absence of guarantees of effective means, advocating for a political solution is advocating an unconditional retreat. We consider this possibility in terms of its potential impact on U.S. global strategy. What we are seeing is that Hanoi-backed forces continue to Laos moves forward, and once South Vietnam is destroyed, the entire Southeast Asia will be left with only the Philippines as a foothold for the United States.”

"There is really only one option, plans to intensify military operations, including the bombing of North and South Vietnam by the US Air Force. These proposals are made on the premise that the US withdrawal from South Vietnam or Southeast Asia is absolutely unacceptable. Don't think that Southeast Asia has nothing to do with Europe, in fact the British The Malayan colony is watching how we deal with South Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, the surrounding countries are watching."

Experts from the State Department, the CIA, the Defense Department, and the National Security Council conducted the assessment and analysis, giving Lyndon Johnson a broad but only one path to choose from. That is, this battle is unavoidable. Even if it is to be discussed in the future, it must first produce a decent victory and negotiate with Hanoi.

"Admiral Taylor, you go to Saigon to get the most real situation." Lyndon Johnson asked Maxwell Taylor, asking him to go.

Maxwell Taylor is of course willing to take a trip. As the leader of the U.S. military, he also has to investigate the actual situation on the battlefield so that he can know what to do.

If Alan Wilson knew that his American counterparts were so wise, he would have shouted loudly. It's easy to spread things like the military, and you want them to ban it? Don't even think about withdrawing as long as you start the fight.

Order and prohibition are suitable for most countries, even the UK, but it is not suitable for the United States. The Vietnam War is just a concentrated expression of the US military starting to have its own ideas. The US military has been disobedient since this time. Lobbying agencies do support.

While Lyndon Johnson has been elected, he has chosen the only solution offered by the establishment, while the Republicans' robbery continues.

They are all candidates, and no one is dumber than the other. After McCarthy plunged into the southern states, other Republican candidates also realized the breaking point and followed McCarthy's example and began to win over the white votes of the South.

From this point of view, McCarthy is simply a guiding light for the Republican Party. Even if this election is a close success, it will not harm his position in the Republican Party. Maybe it will be the founder of the Republican turn.

The Malaya High Commissioner Richard, who returned to London to report this time, also reported in detail the progress of Malaya's transformation of the cabinet secretary, although he did not know what the real purpose was.

The real purpose is naturally to take advantage of the rich conditions of the Malayan colony to prepare to eat some flesh-and-blood buns during the time when the US military is about to demonstrate its martial virtue. It may be a little embarrassing to say, but if Japan and South Korea can eat, Malaya will Can't eat it?

The current situation is different from the situation in Alan Wilson's mind. After so many years of development, Malaya has all the conditions for a logistics base. And there is North Vietnam in the north and Indonesia in the south. Is it justifiable not to eat some flesh-and-blood buns? The United Kingdom also helped the United States to suppress the French people's attempt to vote for the Communist Party. Can it benefit Japan and South Korea, but not the United Kingdom?

"I heard that in the past few months, 40,000 to 500,000 people have poured into the Malayan colony?" Alan Wilson asked with his back to all beings, standing behind his back.

"Secretary-General, it's like this. There is indeed a trend of wealthy immigrants in Indonesia. Your previous judgment was right." Richard didn't think much about it, maybe the supreme authority is this style.

He, the high commissioner, has no idea that the Indonesian incident, if Alan Wilson feels he can't eat and walk around, he will be pushed out of the top tank.

"There are still some people from Chang Gong who are dancing happily? This time the immigration wave is over, send their heads back."

Alan Wilson showed his white teeth, "Malaya is a British colony and cannot be disturbed by any foreign forces. It is useful to keep them now. The end of the immigration wave is the time to unload and kill the donkeys. You can do such trivial things yourself. That's alright, the key is to lay a solid foundation for adapting to the changing situation, you see the situation in South Vietnam is getting more and more corrupt, if there is another Korean War, won't Malaya take off?"

"Secretary-General, is there going to be a fight?" Richard was shocked. Although he was the native emperor of Malaya, he was not in London after all, so he had to judge the situation entirely by himself. Now Richard only knows that the political situation in South Vietnam is unstable, but South Vietnam itself has more than 10,000 US troops stationed, so it is not a problem to control the situation.

"The North Vietnamese guerrillas kill an American from time to time, and the U.S. military kills and rapes from time to time. The hatred will only deepen." As he spoke, Alan Wilson handed Richard a piece of information. The main religion in South Vietnam is Buddhism, while the previous Wu Tingyan group was based on Catholicism. Although Wu Tingyan died, the attributes of the remaining forces have not changed.

Richard was handed information about the persecution of Buddhists by the U.S. military. If it was just Buddhists, it would not be worth letting Alan Wilson show it. As we all know, the U.S. military can't control the crotch anywhere on earth, just like the Latins. virtue.

Through an attack case, the US military arrested several nuns, tortured them, raped them and dumped their bodies in one go.

"It's really appalling." Richard couldn't help sighing with the intelligence. He just knew that the military discipline of the US military was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

"So, the British army in Malaya, if you want to go to Thailand when you have nothing to do, it is better to spend money than not to spend money on this kind of thing. One of my subordinates made this mistake before."

Alan Wilson sighed, "With the current industrial base of the colony and convenient transportation, once the war breaks out, it will get a lot of benefits. I am optimistic that this war will enable Malaya to develop steadily for ten years. The colonial government must do Don't be swayed by foreign ideas, no matter which foreign idea it is, even the United States. If the political situation is stabilized, things will be easy to handle."

He remembered that the United States spent 250 billion US dollars in the Vietnam War~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition to the US military itself, this money also allowed several countries to get the first pot of gold to varying degrees, especially South Korea.

With such a large expenditure, even if 10 billion falls on Malaya, the economic miracle that stands side by side with Japan can still be seen.

Pamela Mountbatten has communicated with several British banks in Hong Kong and Malaya and is ready to absorb the spilled US dollars once the war begins. At the same time, by virtue of the foundation of standing out from the crowd in Southeast Asia, it will complete the development goals of the next decade.

There is no other meaning in calling Richard, except that Malaya must fight until the last American soldier leaves South Vietnam. "The deepening reform of Malaya should also be put on the agenda, and administrative means are always used to withdraw funds. No, take the opportunity to change the method and achieve the goal through the construction of intellectual property.”

From time to time, the Malay language used to be like nothing, and the British transferred some industries to solve the local people's food problem, and the local people were grateful. After the food and clothing problem is solved, the local people will still feel unfair for a long time, which requires a large filter constructed by intellectual property to replace the operation of the colonial government.

"Every year, the number of civil servants in the colonial government will be reduced, and they will be linked to major enterprises. This has been done once before, and the public institution will be changed. Just do the same." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "There is no problem for the time being. , give you a year to complete it."

"One year?" Richard gave a wry smile, then nodded, "I try my best, Cabinet Secretary."

"As much as possible is not enough, local and overseas civil servants are a whole, and colleagues may doubt your reliability." Alan Wilson sighed, "Richard, you know that your two terms are How much effort did I spend to get it? A lot of people are watching."
