"In fact, given the current situation, the French should not hesitate to use chemical weapons."

When meeting with General Bilton, the commander of the British army in British Malaya, Alan Wilson opened with this paragraph. The British commander almost dropped his chin, "Alan, you are serious."

"Respected general, I can tell when it's okay to joke." Alan Wilson's face was calm, and he didn't mean to joke. "In fact, Germany has a lot of chemical weapons reserves and production experience, if the French don't mind. I can Helping out plays a role in that.”

"It's fortunate that you were born decades late, otherwise I can't imagine it." General Bilton sighed with a wry smile, "If you were the commander of a colonial army, I can't imagine what would happen."

"It's nothing more than learning the advanced experience of the East, it's no big deal." Alan Wilson shook the wine glass in his hand, he didn't believe that half of the 30 million Vietnamese people were killed, and the rest dared to resist .

After returning to Kuala Lumpur, after a few days of discussions that were not at all morally burdensome, Alan Wilson now felt that the mere napalm was simply not enough.

But France doesn't have nuclear bombs, so it can only think of a way out of chemical weapons.

Germany is a powerful country in chemical weapons. The chemical weapons produced in World War II were calculated in tons, but they were never used. After the war, they had a large number of chemical weapons. He believed that the French must have them.

The fundamental reason why Germany did not use chemical weapons is not how civilized the Germans are, otherwise what would they do with so many reserves?

The fundamental reason is that European countries are not weak in industry. The Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, France and even Czechoslovakia, which Germany faced on the battlefield, all have the ability to produce chemical weapons. If Germany dares to use it once, all countries will retaliate.

Both Italy and Japan used it in World War II, Italy mainly used it in Africa, while Japan used poison gas on a large scale on the battlefield.

The Agent Orange used by the United States later in Vietnam is of course also a type of chemical weapon, and the Americans can of course use the French.

While the two were chatting, General Naval had already arrived at the British Army Headquarters in Malaya. This time he came to British Malaya as the commander-in-chief of the French Army in Vietnam, and was invited by General Bilton.

The fundamental reason is to enlist the help of the nearby British in logistics, and at the same time to visit the napalm production line. With the help of his wife Pamela Mountbatten, this weapon production line used to supply the French army has been put into production. .

General Naval and Alan Wilson had met, and also knew that General Bilton was the British commander of Malaya. The two soldiers were no strangers, and they quickly entered the topic, confirming that the French army was preparing for a large-scale offensive.

"The current Vietnam problem is very big. Those resisting armed forces are constantly being surrendered. By attacking to a certain extent, we have established advantages. In a good negotiating environment, my idea is to establish an independent country where France enjoys special interests."

General Naval expounded his true thoughts, and he felt that it was impossible to forcefully retain the colony. The core idea of ​​formulating this operation is to establish a protectorate.

"Actually, it's not bad!" Alan Wilson heard this to me. Britain still has many protectorates in the Middle East. Iraq and Egypt are not counted, but there are still many British protectorates in places like Yemen and Oman.

First expressing his approval, Alan Wilson changed the subject, "I have never doubted that the combat effectiveness of the French army in the fortified battle, but the long-term consumption is huge for our countries thousands of miles away. If there is a decisive battle, or Be careful, if Vietnam is like the US military facing the Japanese in the Pacific battlefield, you will suffer in the end."

Alan Wilson compared the Japanese army, a second-rate army, to the Pacific War in World War II. The Japanese army was killed by 1.1 million, while the American casualty figure was less than 110,000. Probably a one to ten ratio.

Of the 400,000 Americans killed in World War II, less than a third of them died in the Pacific.

Vietnam has a population of nearly 30 million, and it is not difficult to pull out a million-scale armed force. The number of French troops killed in action is one less. The total number of French troops is 180,000. The real French are only 50,000, and the German soldiers recruited are only 20,000. Even Alan Wilson can see it.

If it hadn't been for Britain and France to join forces after the war to force Thailand to cede the Kra Isthmus in the name of punishing Japanese accomplices, he might now suggest that France should persuade the Thais to be cannon fodder.

But when it comes to the Isthmus of Kra, France can only rely on itself. Soon General Bilton said that the British troops stationed in Malaya were of little help in resisting the Indonesian infiltration.

Before this could be considered a refusal, the French army asked the British army for help, and Alan Wilson added, "The British army is not good at the army, our elite troops are all in Europe, and the Asian side is the Royal Navy. After the ship is on its way back, if the French army needs help, we are willing to mobilize sea power to help, but it may be limited to the help of coastal cities."

Speaking of which, Alan Wilson, who has many actresses by words and deeds, looked cramped and seemed very embarrassed. He is very star-studded to help close ally France to do something, but General Naval should also see that there is a limit to what a colony can do.

General Naval nodded and sighed that this may be the limit of what the British on the Asian side can do.

The limit is not necessarily the limit, but unfortunately the French cannot transfer the South Korean army to help like the United States. In the final analysis, France's colonies in Asia are relatively isolated, at least compared with another large piece of French Africa, which is indeed incapable of borrowing.

France's ability to maintain its status as a great power after the war, whether the French admit it or not, is inseparable from the help of the United Kingdom. In the final glory days of the British Empire, Britain did what it could to help this centuries-old adversary.

Even the colony in Vietnam was surrendered to the British army, and then transferred to the French army. The British also ensured that the French took over the colony again at the United Nations. From any point of view, the French have nothing to say.

Finally, after visiting the napalm production line and conducting the airdrop test at the shooting range, Alan Wilson couldn't help but said, "General Naval, if Vietnam does not have a countermeasure industry, then chemical weapons are also a viable option."

The reactions of General Naval and General Bilton were the same, looking at Alan Wilson in amazement, "Commissioner Wilson, your suggestion is very constructive."

"It's also very destructive! In fact, on a moral level, I shouldn't have made this suggestion." Allenwell sighed, "But war is like this, there is no such thing as moral or immoral."

"Actually, I once suggested that the government seek help from the United States and seek American assistance for the Vietnam battlefield." General Naval shook his head slightly, "Unfortunately, the Paris government did not respond to this."

Alan Wilson is no longer sleepy. It turns out that the US military was the first to intervene in the Vietnam War. Was it the French who took the initiative to speak?

This is a good thing. Alan Wilson is still thinking about how to get the Americans involved. After all, he doesn't know the source of history, so he can't wait for Americans to love themselves and figure it out.

Hearing what General Naval said, is this the root cause of the US military's involvement in the Vietnam War? Then he had to say a few words to express his approval of General Naval, "General Naval, in a neutral position, as a British, we are very surprised by the political chaos in France over the years, and the government's chaos to a certain extent. It affected the actions of the French army."

Both overtly and secretly agree, General Naval's idea of ​​asking for help from the United States is absolutely correct, and he compares the significance of France's military operations in Vietnam with the significance of the just-concluded Korean War.

When General Naval heard it, even the British thought so, and the idea of ​​going back to Paris to make a statement to the government reappeared. He had suggested by telegram before, and he had not received a response from the Paris government. This time, he wanted to specifically Return to the country and seek the support of the government.

If someone asks Alan Wilson whether he supports it, of course he supports it. How could he object to this kind of benefit that is conducive to the balance of the international situation. He even expressed his willingness to provide his own special plane to save General Naval's round trip time.

General Naval, who had an idea, refused this request, but he has made up his mind to return to the country. The government and the military have very different opinions, which will definitely affect the offensive. The two sides must maintain an unanimous opinion.

A day later, General Naval left Kuala Lumpur and returned to Saigon. Via the Air France Comet airliner in Saigon, he embarked on his journey back to China~lightnovelpub.net~ There are two main purposes, to ensure the same position of the government and the military. The second point is to seek assistance from the United States, and then start a large-scale offensive.

If these two points can be achieved, General Naval will have the confidence to formulate a strategic offensive plan.

General Naval's idea is to conduct a tough battle and fight against the Viet Minh, and use the French army's experience in the tough battle to kill the Viet Minh's living forces to the greatest extent possible.

Whether Paris would agree to all of Naval's demands, Alan Wilson did not know, but he hoped that the French offensive would be smoother this time. No matter what, let the US military send some military advisers to Vietnam first.

Don't look at the military advisers as useless. Once this kind of thing starts, the follow-up will continue, and a large number of US troops will naturally come over when the time comes.

The U.S. military should not be too skilled in raising pirates and respecting themselves. Once they find out that there is a war that legally manages the country and asks for money, can they hold it back?
