v2 Chapter 758: embarrassed french

"You don't really want something exotic, do you?" Vivien Leigh, who was snuggling in the man's arms at night, asked in a low voice.

"There must be few men who refuse this thing, but you are more important to me than exoticism." Alan Wilson was righteous, and then pretended to sigh heavily, "I am very worried about the current Geneva conference."

"Every day I know how I want to be an official, and I don't think about me." Vivien Leigh poked the man with her finger, but she accepted the explanation. She knew that Ellen Wilson's enthusiasm for being an official was more enthusiastic than chasing beautiful women. , "What's there to worry about, we still have the advantage?"

"It depends on who we are in your mouth. You don't understand, and I can't say it directly." Alan Wilson lowered his head and kissed the national treasure's forehead, "In the current position of the United Kingdom, you really need to think more. "

If you consider the international order, China, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union are in the second group at the same time, and the United Kingdom is still the first group! Although the United Kingdom has begun to decline, most countries have not yet recognized the decline of the United Kingdom.

Of course, the other four major countries are aware of this, but among them, France, like the United Kingdom, is the beneficiary of the international order and belongs to the vested interests. The three countries of China, the United States and the Soviet Union have their own differences. China is still not too far away, and its national strength cannot reach it.

The other two countries that want to establish their own order, the United States is the most powerful, but the Soviet Union's momentum is stronger, and each has its own advantages. Although Britain and France are unwilling to turn against the United States, the United States cannot use military means to forcibly accept it. The international order of Britain and France, so the United States is destined to take a long time to accept the international order of Britain and France.

From China's point of view, Alan Wilson believes that China does not want Britain and France to fall too fast. After all, the momentum of the United States and the Soviet Union is more violent. When Britain and France fall, the international order established by the United States and the Soviet Union will only be more restrictive than Britain and France.

But China is indeed in the war situation in Vietnam, and it is the opposite of France. So the international situation is very complicated!

The difference between the Vietnam War and the Korean War was that in the Korean War, the United States was playing for fun, and China also helped the United States to destroy a five-star emperor. In the Vietnam War, France hoped to be a ZTE campaign, and invested a lot of manpower and resources. Although France is small, its colonies are all over the world. If France is determined to fight to the death with China behind Vietnam, it will not win, but it will result in a lose-lose situation.

The Sino-French fight was a lose-lose. The beneficiary was the United States and the Soviet Union, and the other victim was the United Kingdom. If China and France, which were already weaker, failed, the pressure on the United Kingdom from the United States and the Soviet Union would only increase.

So far, although the United Kingdom is still the biggest beneficiary of the international order, even Alan Wilson does not think that the current United Kingdom can compete with the United States and the Soviet Union.

Persistence will deplete the national strength of France and China, so it is better to suggest that France quickly evacuate to stop the bleeding, and let the United States fill the vacancy in France, and the Americans will definitely do it.

Because the current momentum of the Soviet Union is completely different from that in 1945, ten years have passed since the end of World War II. Britain was indeed in slow decline, while the Soviet Union was in rapid rise. If it was said that Washington was still entangled in the choice between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, today there is nothing to say, and the threat of the Soviet Union is even greater.

The United States has reason to believe that the United States can slowly take over the British and French international order by means other than force.

So from the perspective of the United Kingdom, it is impossible to watch France continue to lose blood, and let France quickly withdraw its military forces to North Africa, and Britain and France may still have a chance.

The result of the division between the North and the South is also in the interests of the United States at present. After all, South Korea has learned from the past. Being able to block the path of pro-Soviet forces heading south is a top priority. Alan Wilson believes that the United States agrees.

Vietnam's special edition of the Munich Conference already has the basic conditions. The UK has experienced countless similar conferences. As long as it is clear what purpose it wants to achieve, it should not be a problem to achieve the desired result.

The premise that Alan Wilson hoped the French could hold on was that the French would have the upper hand to hold on, not the stubborn support of the beaten-up disgraced person, who had no meaning except to make the third world feel that the old imperialism was nothing more than that.

Dien Bien Phu has already been beaten like this, and it is more meaningful for France to leave with a little face than to stay in Vietnam.

During the Geneva Conference, Alan Wilson still kept in touch with the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and also reported all the current movements of the French army in Dien Bien Phu. The collapse of the French army could happen at any time, because it was unknown when the French army would be replenished. The consumption is clean, and at that time surrender is the inevitable result.

Taking into account both public and private has always been the goal pursued by a gentleman. Even if Alan Wilson is holding Vivien Leigh in one hand, he can still care about the international situation and how An Lan can compare with him.

Unlike the British Commissioner who still has time to take into account both public and private matters, the deteriorating speed of the situation in Dien Bien Phu has left the French with no time to worry about other factors. Although the Geneva Conference is being held, the French army must be ordered to persevere at home, but this is not a politician's mouth to talk about. The situation for the defenders of Dien Bien Phu was extremely difficult.

The French were in a difficult situation, and even in the gaps between battles, the French commanders knew they would not win, as evidenced by the logistical difficulties alone. Even if the two airports are used at the same time, the existing aircraft will not be enough, and many aircraft are no longer available. This caused serious problems for subsequent casualty evacuation, and the helicopter still ventured to land with difficulty. But it turned out that even this could not remove all the seriously wounded from the field hospital, and the hospital could no longer handle the large number of dead and wounded.

Even the helicopters have been used, and the original airport is no longer available. The cloudy battlefield is still destroying France's last efforts to maintain supplies.

Vo Nguyen Giap steadily dug trenches close to Castries' headquarters and the main French defense line. Isabel's stronghold, which was isolated, was surrounded on all sides, but was still stubbornly holding on. The Viet Minh brought in new troops from Laos and elsewhere, and the reserves at the training camps were brought in to replenish the troops in preparation for the next major offensive.

What is certain is that the French defenders, who have no hope of breaking through the siege, but who are stuck but have no supplies, are not far away from the end. It may be a few days, it may only be a few hours. Within the range, there is no strategic depth to speak of.

Finally, the French defenders of Dien Bien Phu began to break through the siege. However, the forward position has been lost, and it is impossible for the defenders of the main position to break through. The plan was kept tight-lipped out of morale concerns. The soldiers had to retreat as planned without rehearsing.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the picture shows the troops disappearing into the night, but they were quickly cut off, drowned in the strong enemy, and became torn apart. Some soldiers returned to their strongholds, and a small number fled into the jungle. The fighting continued for a while, but there was no point in continuing to resist.

The next day, the news from the British Advisory Group in Saigon was delivered to British Malaya. The meaning was very simple. The defenders of Dien Bien Phu had stopped resisting, and the French army was defeated.

"My God!" Alan Wilson covered his face, he believed that the napalm he provided had cost the Vietnamese more, but what was the use? The outcome of the war is not based on casualties, otherwise the winner of the world war should be the Germans.

Even the British officials in the Administrative Office knew that their immediate superiors were in a bad mood. I heard that they had just returned from a few days of rest, and they received bad news so quickly.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang, Alan Wilson took out the microphone, and General Bilton's voice came, "Have you heard that? The defenders of Dien Bien Phu have surrendered."

"Just heard!" Alan Wilson took a deep breath and said indifferently, "We predicted it before. It's just that this kind of result actually happened, and it's a bit sad for the French."

"I hope it won't affect the Geneva Conference, but it doesn't seem to have much hope." General Bilton said silently, "Alan, what do you think about this, can the goal of France over Geneva be achieved?"

"No problem! Vietnamese can't control their own destiny." Alan Wilson is still full of confidence, this world is very cruel, once lose the ability of self-reliance, anything can happen.

The United Kingdom and the United States are close enough, right? Isn’t the 21st century still forcing the United Kingdom to charge into battle to offend people?

Isn't the UK two dimensions stronger than Vietnam? Once the decline is the end~lightnovelpub.net~ not to mention Vietnam's national strength.

It is believed that most of the free world newspapers at this time were also saddened by the loss of France. But definitely not some of the UK's best-selling newspapers, such as Get a front page headline, "The French soldiers who surrendered didn't even have time to enter, the brothel set up to boost morale."

The Battle of Dien Bien Phu ended with the annihilation of the French army. This news is undoubtedly very depressing for the free world at the current Geneva Conference. For a time, today's insult to the law is in the mouths of many diplomats in the free world. spread.

The free world is frustrated, and the Soviet bloc is naturally overjoyed, which shows that this time the meeting has increased its own chips, which is good news no matter how you look at it. Half the world stunned, half the world ecstatic, is a very accurate description in the current Geneva.

George Pidour now feels that the whole world is full of malice towards France, and the meeting has not yet come to a conclusion. It can even be said that the Americans have finally stopped talking about the North Korean issue, and put the main proposal of the meeting on the issue of the Indochina Peninsula. On May 2, just a few days after the talks, the French defenders of Dien Bien Phu were completely wiped out.

Even if it persists for half a month, the news of the surrender of the French defenders has just started. How can we talk about it?
