After World War II, the United States relied on its powerful military force to exercise hegemony on a global scale, seriously undermining the peaceful situation in the world. However, in the face of *** United States, it seems to be cowering and does not dare to be easily presumptuous.
During the Vietnam War, the United States sent a large number of troops in an attempt to strangle the North Vietnamese regime. At this moment, the 11 words spoken by ** made 600,000 US troops retreat in a difficult way, and they did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
Later, the U.S. military could not continue, abandoned their armor, abandoned hundreds of cannons, and left Vietnam in disgrace. So, what are the 11 words that were said? Why is the United States so jealous of him?
And what are the reasons for the defeat of the US military?
After the baptism of the Second World War, the world pattern has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the hegemony of the old capitalist powers in Europe no longer exists. In its place were the United States and the Soviet Union, the two victorious powers, which grew in power, and the shadow of the Cold War loomed over Asia.
Vietnam became the focal point of contention between the United States and the Soviet Union in Asia. Before World War II, Vietnam was occupied by France, but with the victory of the German Blitzkrieg, France was defeated, and Vietnam fell into the hands of the Japanese.
However, with the unconditional surrender of Japan, a large-scale independence movement broke out within Vietnam. In this movement, the Vietnam Independence Alliance, led by Ho Chi Minh, received broad support and established the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945.
According to rational judgment, the Vietnamese region should be able to come out of the shadow of imperial colonization and embark on a path of rapid development. However, this is not the case.
After the end of World War II, France, anxious to restore Vietnam's status as a French colony, sent an expeditionary force into Vietnam, and the Vietnamese people rose up to resist. When the situation was critical, Ho Chi Minh organized the Vietnamese army to go deep into the mountains and forests to fight guerrilla warfare and uphold national dignity.
Seeing that the conquest by force could not be achieved, France turned to establish the South Vietnamese regime in Saigon in an attempt to disintegrate and ** Vietnam. Vietnam descended into civil war, and South Vietnam** grew stronger with the support of France.
Against this background, in early 1950, Ho Chi Minh appealed to Beijing for help, and decisively agreed and sent a military advisory mission to Vietnam to help.
With the help of China, the North Vietnamese army gradually modernized and regularized, its combat effectiveness increased significantly, and the balance of the battlefield began to tilt in favor of North Vietnam. With the help of China, the French army was completely annihilated in the Battle of Dongxi, with a total of more than 8,000 enemies.
Finally, on July 21, 1954, the French army signed the Geneva Agreement with China, the Soviet Union, Vietnam, and the United States. However, after the withdrawal of the French troops, the US ** team made a comeback, and the rare peace in Vietnam lasted only half a year before it came to naught.
Vietnam's ** is a long-standing ambition of the United States, especially in the early days of the Cold War, when the United States regarded Southeast Asia as an important part of its Far East strategy. Since the deployment in the Asian region was suppressed by the Soviet Union, the United States urgently needed to find the best people in Asia.
However, the defeat in the Korean War caused the United States to lose face, invested a lot of resources in vain, and its influence in the world began to decline. Against this backdrop, countries such as Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia have become the preferred targets of the United States.
Vietnam played a pivotal role among the three countries, but Ho Chi Minh's influence in the Vietnamese liberation movement was more in favor of China and the Soviet Union, which deeply worried the United States.
In order to change the situation in Vietnam, as early as December 1948, Truman issued Report No. 48-2, which clarified the direction of the United States' policy to prevent the expansion of the Communist Party in Asia.
Then, in 1950, the U.S. Congress passed the U.S. Position on Indochina, emphasizing that the U.S. would take all possible measures to secure its influence in Southeast Asia.
By 1954, Truman's successor, Dwight D. Eisenhower, was even more worried, stressing that if Vietnam fell to the Communists, it would trigger a domino effect and the United States would lose control of the Far East.
Although still recovering from the Korean War, the US military once again crossed the ocean to make crude entalities in Vietnam's internal affairs. This once again reveals the arbitrariness and belligerence of the United States.
On November 1, 1955, the U.S. military entered Vietnam, and at first it did not participate in the war in full force, but fully supported Ngo Dinh Diem as the first in South Vietnam and established the first regime.
Over the next few years, the U.S. military provided a large number of military advisers and assistance to South Vietnam, Vietnam was shrouded in the White Terror, and the North Vietnamese regime suffered heavy losses. However, North Vietnam** received covert support from China and the Soviet Union, and gradually grew stronger in the attack.
On the contrary, although South Vietnam had the support of the United States and other Western countries, it had serious internal corruption and lost the support of the people, which was no different from the Kuomintang during the War of Liberation.
The incident in the Gulf of Tonkin "was so distressing that the weakness of South Vietnam made the United States decide to fight in person." In 1961, then-U.S. John F. Kennedy publicly declared Vietnam to be "the pillar, center, and defensive fortress of the free world in Southeast Asia."
Although ostensibly under the banner of "freedom", in fact, Kennedy quietly increased the US military advisory group in Vietnam and sent a special forces to conduct an intensified "secret war".
In the past two years, the US military has secretly participated in many wars, and the antagonism between North and South Vietnam has become more and more serious. By 1964, the United States had finally decided to expand the war. On the afternoon of August 4, the U.S. Committee issued an order to carry out "retaliatory bombing" against North Vietnam.
On the evening of the same day, more than 60 carrier-based bombers appeared over the Beibu Gulf and carried out a two-hour heavy bombardment. The U.S. military sank 25 North Vietnamese torpedo boats, destroyed most of the oil tanks near the port, and killed and injured countless civilians in the artillery fire.
This is the unforgettable "Gulf of Tonkin Incident".
The U.S. armed offensive against North Vietnam, under the pretext of a blow to weak South Vietnam, seemed to have an initial advantage for the North Vietnamese People's Army. However, the United States, as a superpower, has a clear advantage in ** equipment, how can North Vietnam confront it?
Thus, in the ensuing battles, the North Vietnamese army suffered heavy losses, large swathes of land were occupied by the United States, and for the North Vietnamese leaders, the previous independence movement could face defeat.
However, at the critical moment, China's position and attitude provided a solid foundation for North Vietnam to turn defeat into victory.
After the outbreak of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, China took immediate action, not only providing material assistance to North Vietnam, but also sending troops such as railroad troops, engineering troops, and anti-aircraft artillery troops to assist North Vietnam in resisting the US bombing.
What really terrified the United States was the speech of *** at a conference. At that time, the United States continued to push the front north, even threatening the security of our southwestern border.
But the United States realized that if China also joined the battlefield, there was no choice but to surrender. Therefore, they have kept the war in Vietnam to avoid spilling over to China.
However, this made the situation in North Vietnam even more dire. In the face of this situation, ** once again made a statement.
In the following meeting, ** said 11 words firmly,"U.S. forces are not allowed to cross the 17th parallel"。These remarks elicited different reactions from various forces.
Although North Vietnam was not aware of the weight of the phrase, they knew that the 17th parallel was the geographical dividing line between North and South Vietnam as set out in the Geneva Accords. However, the United States, as the aggressor, naturally does not take the Geneva Accords seriously.
As a result, some North Vietnamese suggested that China might as well send more troops to support it. For the Americans, however, this phrase was like a bolt from the blue, having a fundamental impact on their war strategy in Vietnam.
The reason is simple, this phrase is all too familiar to Americans.
In 1950, the U.S. ** team landed at Incheon, directly intervened in the Korean War, and even threatened the Yalu River in our country. Under such circumstances, ** decided to adopt the strategy of saluting first and then soldiering, and put forward a request to the United States that "the US troops retreat to the vicinity of the 38th parallel".
However, the United States did not take China's warning to heart, but arrogantly flew bombers to the northeast of China, provoking China. In the end, he made the decision to "resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the homeland and defend the country", and led hundreds of thousands of volunteers to cross the Yalu River and enter the Korean Peninsula, showing the bravery and determination of our team.
1.They shattered MacArthur's dream of "ending the fighting by Christmas" and went on to launch a series of campaigns that completely destroyed the myth of the invincibility of the American army.
After three years of struggle, on July 27, 1953, the U.S. military signed the armistice. Therefore, the United States knows the strength of the squadron better than any other country.
After the release of the 11-word ultimatum, the Americans did not dare to act rashly. They know that annoying China will bring another disaster. 2.They shattered MacArthur's illusion that the battle would end before Christmas, and then launched a number of campaigns that completely shattered the myth of the invincibility of the American army.
After three years of resistance, on July 27, 1953, the U.S. military honestly signed the armistice. Therefore, no country knows the strength of the squadron better than the United States.
After issuing an 11-word ultimatum, the Americans did not dare to act lightly. They understand that if China is provoked, they will face another unjustified disaster. 3.They defeated MacArthur's fantasy that the battle would end before Christmas, and went on to launch a number of campaigns that shattered the myth of the Americans' invincibility.
After three years of struggling in Korea, on July 27, 1953, the U.S. military finally signed the armistice agreement honestly. Therefore, the United States knows the strength of the squadron better than any other country.
After issuing an 11-word ultimatum, the Americans did not dare to act lightly. Because they know that if they provoke China, they will face another catastrophe.
The Americans were limited at every turn in the war, and eventually returned home. From then on, the words of ** were like a tight hoop on the head of Sun Monkey, tightly shackling the actions of the Americans.
The North Vietnamese army also quickly discovered this situation, and no matter how hard the Americans fought and how badly they lost, as long as they could retreat to within the 17th parallel, the Americans would not pursue.
Even if the bombers had already flown nearby, they could only watch the North Vietnamese troops rest in the camp. After such a situation appeared many times, the North Vietnamese army gradually figured out the laws of the Americans.
They were surprised to find that the words of ** were like a holy decree to the Americans, and the Americans could only obediently obey the orders and have no power to resist.
Among the Americans, there was a lot of resentment at the proposal to fight across the 17th parallel, especially some young soldiers. They are perplexed that they have a clear advantage but cannot fight across the line.
Older officers, however, are well aware of the history of the Korean War, but in the United States, the Korean War is seen by most as a "forgotten war," and few are willing to mention the pain.
Only MacArthur made it clear in his public speech that "if anyone were going to fight China, it would be crazy." Therefore, the officers did not explain much to the soldiers, only emphasizing that they must obey the order, otherwise they will face "serious consequences".
The United States spent a lot of money and sacrificed many soldiers, but it was never able to defeat the North Vietnamese army. The war deprived the United States of its belief in victory, and was eventually forced to evacuate Vietnam in 1975.
Secretary Kissinger reflected: "The Vietnam War was a tragedy, and the United States should not be involved in it. This situation was not unique to the Vietnam War, but also to the United States during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
Nixon's visit to China opened a new chapter in diplomacy between China and the United States, breaking the ice between the two countries that had lasted for 23 years. Impressively, Nixon took the initiative to shake hands with *** when the plane landed, and even warmly took ***'s coat when he returned to the hotel.
These actions fully demonstrated the majestic and solemn shouting and the relaxed diplomacy, and jointly won China's absolute dominance in the face of the United States.
This led to the complete dismantling of the psychological superiority of the Americans after the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
