There is no need to read Chapter 1269 of the main volume of the British Civil Servant's call to the Maine. Maxwell Taylor has already made a judgment and must intervene to stabilize the situation. If it is too late, it will be too late.

Religious strife, political sectarianism, and police corruption have ravaged the country no less destructively than the growing guerrilla uprisings backed by its neighbors to the north.

Before Diem's ​​death, even those who advocated a coup to oust him admitted that his successor's chances of stabilizing the political situation were, at best, 50 percent. However, even this estimate has proven overly optimistic.

Within 90 days, South Vietnam has had two coups. If the United States does not help, the future of this country is unimaginable. This is different from the Korean Peninsula. The Korean Peninsula is extremely easy to cut off the influence of the North, but the Indochina Peninsula is not. Easy, North Vietnam can detour to subvert South Vietnam.

After coming here once, Maxwell Taylor not only did not relax at all, but his mood became more and more heavy. What action should he take? Will the operation include the involvement of the U.S. Air Force and Army? Is it possible to launch an attack on North Vietnam? Will doing so pose a risk of going to war with a certain big country? At the highest level, what would be the economic, military, political, and personnel costs of such a plan?

Will America succeed in the end? If the chances of success are slim and expensive, should other options—such as neutralization and withdrawal—should be carefully and seriously studied?

Thinking of this, Maxwell Taylor suddenly woke up, and he actually had the idea of ​​shrinking back. Not to mention whether this would lead to criticism, first of all, he couldn't even pass the Pentagon.

He should not have this kind of thinking, but should have a firm belief, come up with a plan that is most in line with the interests of the United States, and guide the government to make decisions that are most beneficial to the Pentagon.

Or without further ado, after learning about the situation, Maxwell Taylor embarked on a return journey, returning to Washington to inform Lyndon Johnson of his current predicament.

"Without a strong pushback in South Vietnam, South Vietnam will be seen not only as a test of American steadfastness in the eyes of other Asian nations, but also of key nations threatened by Communism elsewhere, but also of America's handling of the "National Liberation War." A special test of the ability to "war" is a special test. On the Asian scale, things are extremely obvious. For Japan, for example, the United States' disengagement and recognition of pro-Soviet rule will seriously affect people's confidence. Broad In short, any country that is threatened by the left in the future will undoubtedly have reason to doubt whether we will be responsible for them. Even, in theory, even in remote parts of Latin America, this situation It might also happen.”

Or the Americans have innovative ideas and can extend the events in Southeast Asia to Latin America. However, considering the changes in Cuba, it is not unreasonable to say it is alarmist or anything.

Alan Wilson doesn't have clairvoyance, but he can still know what's going on in Washington. Does it need to go through the Five Eyes alliance? It doesn't need it at all. Just by reading the headlines of the New York Times, you can know that the situation in South Vietnam is heating up rapidly in the United States. In the sense of pre-war mobilization.

Before 1941, Britain occupied most of the headlines of the monthly magazines, and until last year, Britain occupied the headlines for two months. Although most of the time, the spotlight of the New York Times has been on the Soviet Union, this month, North Vietnam, a corner of the world, appeared on the headlines of the New York Times, clearly sending some kind of signal.

"The next time it appears on the headlines, maybe it will be the Falklands War." Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh, yesterday is like a passing water, and we can't stay if we go away. Now I, Daying, can't even compete with North Vietnam.

But this is also a good thing, appearing on the headlines of the New York Times, it is obvious that the United States regards a country as an imaginary enemy. Isn’t there a saying that the most important thing is your enemy. Just like in the ten years after 2008, a certain big country dominated the headlines of the New York Times for fifty-seven months.

If he hadn't got other things to do today, he would give the Americans a few words, but he really didn't have time. With some data, he went to No. 10 Downing Street to talk to Prime Minister Eden about maternity leave subsidies.

"We have obtained a result from the public data of France and even the Soviet Union. The so-called maternity leave, or maternity allowance, is not beneficial to the country except for an increase in expenditure."

Alan Wilson took out two documents and placed them in front of Aiden, "Among the countries that implement subsidies, the birth rate has not changed significantly. The most important thing is that the birth rate in the UK has not decreased, at least higher than that of the French, completely There is no need to take additional subsidies, and it is very short-sighted to do useless work."

If you want the data of the free world, Alan Wilson has it. If you want the data of the Soviet bloc, he also has it. They are all public data. The population data of the Soviet Union after the war was originally a secret. But in the past few years, as the post-war children have grown up, the population data of the Soviet Union has become public.

"The reason why the local population has not changed much is because of immigration. British citizens immigrated to Australia or North America. This is completely different from France's trend of immigration from abroad. The age of native citizens has not deteriorated." Alan Wilson said confidently, "Instead of worrying about the local population, it is better to worry about the population growth of Malaya."

It's not to change the subject, but the population of the UK is really not very serious, at least compared with other European countries, it is not a big problem.

In fact, the Conservative Party is not keen on welfare and the like. The so-called maternity subsidies were only discussed in cabinet meetings. Aiden just routinely asked Whitehall to come up with some data support, and Alan Wilson naturally came up with data support.

He really thinks that it is useless to buy children with money, and it is not as useful as making women unemployed.

The highest fertility rate in the free world is now in the United States, and this era is at the stage when the working class is the strongest. Living in a big mansion and driving a big pickup truck, a man who works can afford the life of a wife, two children and a dog.

This is not to brag about the United States. At present, 20% of American women work, that is, 80% of American women are just housewives, and it is enough to provide superior logistical support for their husbands.

Just like the cabinet secretary also has a woman with the same status as his wife, providing logistical support.

The United States is really powerful now. A family only needs one man to work to cover all expenses. This kind of life is broken, and we have to wait until Reagan comes to power and kills the Quartet. Anyway, in the 21st century, the United States has achieved equality between men and women in a sense. Women are no longer housewives, and the proportion of people participating in work has reached 78%, which is higher than that of women in a certain big country.

The UK is similar now. The gap between the UK and the US lies in the size gap, not the per capita gap. After all, female role models like Pamela Mountbatten are in the minority.

Otherwise, why has Malaya surpassed the British mainland in terms of industrial indicators? The Malaya colony is the real equality between men and women. I am a backward country in Great Britain, and I know how to objectify women.

"Indeed, based on these statistics, our problem is not that big." Aiden was very satisfied with this answer. The Conservative Party is not keen on using money to buy welfare, so this matter will be over after a discussion.

"It's really not a big problem." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. He once again stood on the opposite side of the working people, but right and wrong have nothing to do with morality.

So what if you offend a woman? Do they dare to rebel? He hasn't heard of any rebel force dominated by women.

The UK can only care about fertility issues. It is not like a city on a hill with abundant martial arts. It has already begun to consider its next opponent.

When Maxwell Taylor returned to the United States, he did not go to the White House first, but first went to the Pentagon to discuss the South Vietnam issue with the military generals. The result of the discussion was a final memorandum, "On the security interests of the United States To prevent the loss of South Vietnam is of paramount importance."

"But the president's attitude is relatively conservative, far less enthusiastic than the Republican candidates." A general asked his own doubts, which are also common doubts in the Pentagon.

"We need an unquestionable reason to intervene." Discussions about the situation in South Vietnam began immediately.

"My friends, this question is actually very simple. We only need a USS Maine." An admiral said confidently. Retaliation by a regime that America despises."

In 1898, the Cuban revolution intensified, so the United States sent "Maine" for the sugar cane plantations and sugar factories owned by the Americans on the grounds of protecting American citizens in Cuba~lightnovelpub.net~ The USS warship arrived in the port of Havana to put pressure on Spain. However, the USS Maine exploded suddenly while stationed in Havana Harbor.

Regardless of the reason, the sinking of the USS Maine was an excellent excuse for the United States to declare war on Spain, and the Pentagon needs such an excuse now.

"It's a good idea, Tokyo Bay cruise has such conditions." This suggestion was put forward, and it immediately aroused a lot of approval, and the meeting room was full of fresh air.

In order to protect the safety of the free world, sometimes everyone doesn't mind being a villain, this is to better protect the majority of good people.

Maxwell Taylor went to the White House after this meeting to make it clear that the evacuation seemed unacceptable, as had been the case on previous occasions, and this time was no exception. Since the coup, there is no doubt that South Vietnamese The situation is seriously deteriorating. Over the past month, the government's weaknesses have become all too apparent. Riots and uprisings backed by North Vietnam were increasing day by day,

While Maxwell Taylor was chanting scriptures at the White House, other people naturally arranged for the occurrence of the Maine again, and everyone performed their duties without delaying each other.
