Introduction.
The United States participated in the fighting in Vietnam in 1961, but unexpectedly, it lost in the end and had to retreat. The United States left behind a large collection of military equipment when it retreated. The abandoned equipment later became Vietnam's most valuable asset, which it used to strengthen its own defense capabilities, and there is still a surplus to this day. The article analyzes the reasons why Vietnam preserves these treasures and their practical value to Vietnam.
On the influence of the United States on Vietnam.
In the mid-1950s, the United States focused on Southeast Asia and, for its own advantage, intervened in the northern and southern regimes in Vietnam. Later, in order to defeat Vietnam in the north, the United States itself was determined to participate in the fighting in Vietnam. However, as the North Vietnamese turned to guerrilla warfare, and they were victorious. As war funding continued to dwindle, an anti-war climate emerged in the United States, which forced it to turn to a conservative strategy. Eventually, the United States signed a treaty and withdrew its troops, ending the war in Vietnam.
The reintegration of the Korean Peninsula after the Vietnam War with the remnants of equipment.
It was in 1976 that the official relations between Vietnam and Vietnam took place, that is, in 1976, when they had their current situation. Before the U.S. withdrew, they left a lot of equipment in Vietnam, some of which could not be taken away, and others that were seized by Vietnam. According to American sources, the Vietnamese military captured a total of 36 CH-47***36, 10 C-130 transport aircraft, and 73 F-5 fighters. Most of the equipment is in good condition and, with some simple repairs, it can be put back into battle. However, Vietnam was cautious about this and did not fully disclose the full situation of its **. However, as can be seen from some reports and **, Vietnam received a lot of American ** during the Vietnam period, such as M193 bullets and M16 pistols.
The practical importance of preserving equipment in Vietnam.
For Vietnam, Vietnam's ** is not only a collectible, but also a practical **. In the event of a major war, those captured American** will be an important force in the Vietnamese army. The Vietnamese army's production capacity is limited, and there is a lack of external support, so that its ** system has not been able to be upgraded and replaced for a long time, and it has been using the old **. In contrast, the American-made ** is of good quality, and the captured *** tanks, armored vehicles, etc. can come in handy with a little modification. For example, there were more than 700,000 M16 automatic pistols in Vietnam during the Vietnam campaign, most of which were still in service. Together with other land artillery units, Vietnam has the ability to deal with some skirmishes.
Conclusion and reflection.
Many of the things that the United States left behind after the Vietnam War, many of which were captured by the Vietnamese and preserved to this day. This batch of equipment is a precious treasure for Vietnam, they are not only a collector's item, but also a real battle. However, it also reflects the enormous price and cost that the United States has paid in this battle. Historically, violence against other countries has not worked. Fairness never disappears, and for the invaders, victory is theirs.
At present, in order to resolve contradictions and promote common development, the international community is paying more and more attention to peace, cooperation and development. Only through peaceful consultation and cooperation can we better meet our own needs and maintain regional peace and stability. The use of violence can only cause unnecessary damage and loss of life, often ending in failure and humiliation. Judging from past experience, the most reasonable and realistic way out is to deal with disputes and disputes in a peaceful manner. On the premise of mutual respect, we must continue to carry out cooperation and exchanges for common development.
