The Vietnamese general has turned into a corporate CEO, and the school officer has been transformed into a high-ranking hotel managerAlthough this is just a slip of the tongue, it reflects the current situation of the Vietnamese army's "not doing its job".
Two years ago, the Vietnamese military delegation's visit to Russia caused heated discussions, and there was no other reason than that a Vietnamese female officer was carrying a LV brand-name bag, not to mention that tens of millions of VND were needed.
Good guys, the income of the Vietnamese army is so entrenched?
You must know that more than 40 years ago, Vietnam was still an out-and-out poor country, and even in recent years, Vietnam has taken the train of economic globalization and become rich, but the level of national income is not high, even for public officials.
A Vietnamese female officer was carrying a LV brand-name bag, no matter how she explained it, it also revealed an unusual taste.
Could it be said that the Vietnamese army "has a way to make money"?Or is there something else going on here?
In this issue, we will directly attack the phenomenon of "collapse corruption" in the Vietnamese army.
[a].
In the middle and late last century, Vietnam, after decades of war, was still a backward agricultural country. Internally, it was one of the poorest countries in the world at the timeExternally, Western countries are eyeing it.
Vietnam didn't even dare to breathe.
Especially in the 80s, Vietnam's grain production was declining year by year, and many people could not even eat enough.
In 1983, when the weather was smooth and there were no large-scale natural disasters, the country's grain production reached nearly 17 million tons, but at that time, Vietnam's population growth rate had reached 2 for several consecutive years4%, the food crisis has not been resolved.
However, Vietnam** claims that it does not need to import any more food.
This is somewhat of a swollen face and a fat man's ingredient.
In addition to the food problem, Vietnam's industry is also difficult to describe.
Although Vietnam has a large number of factories, due to the lack of energy, accessories and raw materials, less than half of the equipment is running, and the industrial products produced are also uneven, and there is almost no competitiveness in the international market, and most factories are unable to make ends meet.
And due to low labor efficiency and backward productivity, a large number of labor forces have nowhere to go.
In 1988, the Soviet Union, which was unable to protect itself, announced that it would stop its $10 trillion annual military aid to Vietnam, which made Vietnam's economy even worse.
In order to reduce spending, Vietnam, which once claimed to be the "world's fourth military power," was no longer mad, and in order to reduce financial pressure, it began large-scale disarmament, and by 1990, Vietnam's army had been sharply reduced from 1.2 million to 570,000.
But Vietnam** still couldn't bear it, so he thought of a "stupid trick" - to encourage the army to do business.
Vietnam has said that if you want to live a good life, you must roll up your sleeves and work hard, seize the tide of the market economic system, and do this to make the tide.
The implication is that you should go to the sea for business.
In this way, the Vietnamese soldiers who originally carried guns "went to the sea" one after another, threw themselves into the market, set up large-scale enterprises, and engaged in economic construction on a large scale.
If there is any industry that is profitable, it must be the real estate industry. As a result, the engineering units of the Vietnamese army were transformed into engineering companies to bulldoze and rebuild in some backward areas in rural and urban areas, and rows of high-rise buildings sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The communications corps, on the other hand, continued to do their old job and set up electronic telecommunications companies one after another.
Those who are not professional are aiming at low-end manufacturing or agriculture with low technical requirements, such as planting coffee beans, tobacco, rubber and other crops with very considerable profits.
In just a few years, the Vietnamese army has set up as many as 300 large-scale enterprises.
And the profits it generates are quite objective, in 1993, the Vietnamese army generated 1500 million US dollars, which doubled in the following years, and the financial wealth was touching, and the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense, which had tasted the sweetness, was overjoyed and set up a military commercial bank for it.
From this point of view, the establishment of enterprises by the army has indeed solved the urgent need of Vietnam.
However, the Vietnamese army, which had tasted the sweetness, could no longer stop, and they cared more about making money than improving their combat effectiveness.
The U.S. Navy's F A-18E F Super Hornet fighter jet shot down a Syrian Air Force Su-22 fighter jet in 2017, when the U.S. Navy was tasked with maintaining the so-called "no-fly zone". Since 2014, the U.S. military has illegally intervened in the Syrian civil war and set up an illegal "no-fly zone" over northern Syria to prevent Syrian troops from entering Kurdish-populated areas to fight, thereby preventing the Syrian peace process. The US military has not only established a so-called "no-fly zone" over northern Syria, but has also deployed a large number of military forces in northern Syria.
Now the U.S. Navy has a rhythm of pinching the soft persimmon of the Houthis in Yemen, because the U.S. Navy has used aircraft carrier strike group formations to deal with the blockade of Israel by the Houthis in Yemen. Israel's reckless military operation against the Palestinian Gaza Strip began on October 7 and has so far caused more than 2The tragedy of 20,000 Palestinians killed, despite Israel's lack of will to stop military operations. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revisited the Gaza Strip, he publicly threatened that Israel would insist on military action, which, judging by Israel's actions, was aimed at completely eliminating Palestinian Hamas forces.
Israel's military action against the Palestinian Gaza Strip has been strongly supported by the United States, and after the Yemeni Houthi blockade of Israel, the U.S. Navy has been angry for Israel, repeatedly shooting down the ** launched by the Yemeni Houthis. According to the announcement issued by the U.S. Army ** Command, the U.S. Navy used F A-18E F Super Hornet fighter jets on December 26 to counter drones and missiles launched by the Yemeni Houthis in the airspace of the Red Sea.
F A-18E F Super Hornet is the main carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy aircraft carriers, and currently the US Navy has three aircraft carriers on combat deployment missions, including the CVN69 Eisenhower in the Gulf of Aden, the CVN78 Ford in the Mediterranean, and the CVN70 Carl Vinson aircraft carrier in the South China Sea, of which only the CVN70 Carl Vinson is a combination of the F-35C, F A-18E F and EA-18G, and the rest of the Ford and Eisenhower are F A-18E F and EA-18G matching, so F A-18E F is the main fighter of the US Navy.
