Counterattack against Vietnam, outwit Li Duan, and use reporters' words to release a signal of reconciliation.
In the mid-70s of the 20th century, Vietnam was mired in deep infighting with China under the control of Le Duan. As the core of China's new generation of leadership, *** has to engage in a game with Vietnam in silence about the fortunes of the country.
Every critical decision has far-reaching consequences, and the slightest carelessness can lead to global failure. In the end, Le Duan's plan failed, and Vietnam was greatly damaged and has struggled to recover.
Since Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the Chinese and Vietnamese nationalities have been linked by blood and should be like brothers. However, in peacetime in the early years of the Cold War, this deep bond faced a severe test.
In 1974, when Vietnam was nearing the completion of its integration of French Indochina, Le Duan made a challenging request to China for further support in its military operations.
Le Duan's motivation stemmed from the difficulties of people's livelihood, as his huge population and war-torn land resources made him have to deal with the post-war food crisis. In contrast, Cambodia and Laos are more resource-rich, with areas and populations far less complex than Vietnam.
Before World War II, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia fought together against colonialism and imperialism. However, Le Duan's desire to establish an Indochinese federation was based on people's livelihood considerations, but it ignored the lessons of history.
Historically, similar actions have led to disasters, such as the invasion of Germany and Japan. ** and *** resolutely oppose Li Duan's extreme claims, and they are well aware of the importance of ***.
Despite the aid and supplies Vietnam received during the war, its actions became dangerous. When the Chinese Navy defended its sovereignty, Li Duan** actually wanted to put pressure on China in the name of gratitude.
** The prime minister, with his prestige and impartiality, avoided direct conflict, making it clear that China's naval operations were aimed at self-defense rather than the liberation of other countries. Although Li Duan failed to find a strong reason, he still secretly waited for an opportunity, and the influence of *** and *** in the world made it difficult for him to succeed.
On July 13, 1976, when China was immersed in deep mourning for the Prime Minister of ** and ***, Le Duan cunningly used the power of the public security forces of Lang Son province in Vietnam to illegally occupy the Pu Yingting Heights on the Chinese border.
On the surface, he is under the banner of condolences, but in fact he secretly instigates armed provocations in Vietnam, which is like a child crying for candy and knowing how to achieve his goals with compassion. In times of scarcity, children learn how to fight for candy through strategy, especially when crying in public often wins concessions from adults.
With the death of the chairman, Le Duan has repeatedly tested the bottom line of China's new leadership, trying to use mourning to push its expansion ambitions. However, when Chairman *** took over and held his position, Le Duan's actions escalated, constantly encroaching on China's territory, and the situation became more and more tense.
In 1978, he made a comeback, issuing a strong warning against the provocative actions of the Le Duan clique in an attempt to maintain peace in the region. But Le Duan chose to take the risk, which eventually led to a conflict between China and Vietnam.
After its comeback, China is facing many economic challenges, the global situation is slightly stable, focusing on reform plans, and national defense investment is limited. In the face of the constant provocations of the Le Duan group, we chose to refrain and tried to communicate.
However, the Le Duan group has become greedy and unable to be independent, and when their appeals fail, they bite their former benefactors. As one of the five major countries in the Security Council, China should not be underestimated, and Le Duan knows that if he provokes China, Vietnam will face a catastrophe.
Therefore, Le Duan used the power of others to provoke an armed conflict in 1978 and blame China. In the face of Li Duan's cunning, ** revealed the truth with conclusive evidence and demanded a fair response.
Although the Le Duan clique is at a loss of reason, it still holds its ground and tries to induce China to take action in order to shirk its responsibility. * Understand that peaceful means are not enough to deter Vietnam, but he carefully considered the tactics of war.
As a sign of determination, he immediately began to visit neighboring countries after deciding to send troops to punish Vietnam, so as to convey the message that China will do what it says and ensure the rationality and influence of its action strategy.
In the face of the severe challenge of the squadron, Li Duan Group did not panic, and they had already taken a countermeasure. First of all, they occupied Cambodia and Laos in advance, expanded the rear area of activity in Vietnam, and dispersed the deployment of squadrons.
Secondly, they carefully arranged and managed to lure the squadron to go deep into the Hanoi Plain and take advantage of the logistical difficulties to launch a decisive battle. The strategy is:"Attack the heart and don't kill", mainly striking at the key facilities of the Vietnamese army, so that Vietnam understands that all strong strongholds are difficult to resist the squadron.
At the same time, the destruction of Vietnam's economic lifeline is aimed at weakening its combat capability and avoiding an escalation of the conflict. The Vietnamese Air Force tacitly remained silent and did not engage in direct combat, indicating that it had no intention of expanding the fighting.
After the loss of Lang Son, Le Duan seemed to strongly propose a decisive battle, but in fact secretly restricted the air force and second-line troops from attacking the retreating squadron, suggesting that the two sides should seek a peaceful solution.
After the completion of the overseas operation, the first did not immediately stop fighting, but reorganized the border defense forces, handed over the important task of defending the territory to the localities, and the troops of the Military Commission turned into alert, sending a firm signal to the Li Duan group: If there is another provocation, the squadron will not give an inch.
Li Duan's response was to sacrifice Wu Yuanjia, adjust the top level, and retain his own retreat. In this way, he actually reserved space for the future of himself and the Vietnamese people, avoiding the catastrophic consequences of the war.
Even if an influential figure like Hoang Van Huan were sentenced to death in absentia, his family would not be embarrassed, because he knew that the hope of preserving Vietnam was more important than personal vendettas.
In the course of a decade of border conflict between China and Vietnam, a series of seemingly unconventional phenomena have revealed the underlying game. At the time of the war, the border people of the two countries continued to maintain daily exchanges, and although China was aware of Vietnam's hidden spy threat, it still extended a helping hand to those who asked for help. As the war progressed, the embassy was in constant contact, but in fact it was a silent confrontation at the top level.
Le Duan understood that it was not in Vietnam's interest to go to war in an all-out manner, and he skillfully used the conflict to force China to recognise its control over Cambodia and Laos, both by provoking war and by maintaining the channels of communication.
China's restoration of its seat in the United Nations stems from the unsustainable struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, which has alarmed the world. China will not easily agree to Vietnam's expansion unless the Le Duan clique recognizes the reality.
Despite the superficial tension, the leaders of the two countries have a tacit understanding in their hearts. After the Battle of Songmaoling, Li Duan tried to show weakness and proposed a change in the leadership team, but domestic contradictions and economic difficulties made him unable to do so.
In 1986, Li Duan passed away, and the contest came to an end for the time being, but his legacy was borne by the whole people.
