Chapter 150 Vietnam War

While the three major powers of Tang, America and the Soviet Union launched a space battle, wars were still flying on the earth, and wars between countries of all sizes continued.

Since the end of the Korean War and the Mongolian War, the Soviet Union's military operations on the ground have been restrained, and no longer advances in the direction of Asia, avoiding confrontation with the Tang Empire, but turning to Europe and Africa, continuing to promote Soviet hegemony and confront the United States and NATO.

After the establishment of NATO by the United States and European countries, military strength increased sharply, and Britain and France gradually recovered with the assistance of the United States.

However, with the end of World War II, traditional powers such as Britain, France, Germany and Italy were severely weakened, and large-scale liberation wars were launched in their colonies, and countries such as India and South Africa successively gained independence.

In Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaya and other countries gained independence with the support of the Tang Empire, this annoyed Britain because the only maritime military base in Asia, Singapore, which guarded the Malacca waterway, turned to the Tang Dynasty, causing the Tang Empire's navy to settle in Singapore and seized the naval and air force base built by the British at a huge expense.

It was a giant fortress that guarded the Malacca waterway and its strategic location was extremely important. With the arrival of the Tang army there, it marked that the Tang Empire had completely controlled the main energy transportation lines from the Asia-Pacific to the world.

The British were unwilling to withdraw from Asia like this, but the United States did not want to confront the Tang Empire on the issue of Singapore. But soon something changed the U.S. position. Revolution broke out in Vietnam, affecting the Philippines. France sent troops to suppress it, while Vietnam and China carried waters along the mountains. Relying on the support of the Tang Empire, the Federation China achieved great military success in the wars between North Korea and Mongolia, and its military strength increased sharply. In addition, the Tang Empire's economic aid to China increased the economic strength of the Federation. The thought of a great power of the Celestial Empire began to cause trouble. It looked down on the strength of the French army at all. At the request of the Vietnam Revolutionary Army, ** sent troops to Vietnam to fight with the French army.

**The Qing Dynasty was all the advanced weapons and equipment in the Tang Dynasty. It was much ahead of the French army, and it had a geographical advantage. It won seven battles and seven victories within three months. It drove the French team to a small area in the south in one fell swoop, and was about to be destroyed.

At this time, the United States couldn't help it. After all, the United States was the boss of NATO. The Tang Empire had previously directly supported Singapore's independence and drove away Britain, which had already hit the Americans and made the Eisenhower government lose face. Now that China has sent troops to fight against France and aid Vietnam, if the United States ignores it, NATO will fall apart, especially when the Soviet Union established the Warsaw Pact. At this time, the United States cannot be softer.

At the critical moment, the US military was dispatched.

The U.S. Navy Third Fleet in Subic Bay quickly rushed to southern Vietnam. When the French army was about to be wiped out, they suddenly intervened with force. The attack on the Chinese team was caught off guard, causing heavy losses.

This incident shocked the world, and media around the world speculated whether a war would break out between the Tang Empire and the United States.

Zhang Meng immediately spoke with Eisenhower, expressing the position of the Tang Empire and demanding that the US military stop intervening in the Vietnam War.

Eisenhower wanted to be re-elected as the next president, so he was determined and even fought against the Tang Empire. However, he did not say too much, but pointed out in a tactful manner that the Tang army had intervened in Singapore and the Malayan revolution, which led to the withdrawal of the British army. At that time, the United States did not say anything. Therefore, on the issue of Vietnam War, it was the United States' turn to send troops this time, and I hope the Tang Empire would not interfere.

At this time, Zhang Meng was all concerned about outer space. The unknown things on the moon made him nervous. Therefore, seeing Eisenhower's attitude was tactful. Vietnam was not the core interest of the Tang Empire. Zhang Meng was also curious about whether ** could defeat the US military and wanted to see the combat effectiveness of the US military, so he was not too tough.

However, Zhang Meng said that the US military cannot expand the war and affect China, otherwise the Tang army would have to intervene.

Eisenhower was also in a cold sweat, afraid that Zhang Meng would be unhappy and would be PSG with the United States. Fortunately, Zhang Meng focused all his attention in outer space, which prevented Tang and the United States from directly fighting against military conflict.

Of course, Eisenhower knew very well that even if the Tang Empire did not send troops to intervene, it would aid China and Vietnam in terms of economy and weapons. This Vietnam War is an uncertain factor. Once it is won, it will be extremely beneficial to the United States' hegemony, but once it is lost, the consequences will be very serious.

However, Eisenhower doesn't care about that. As long as he is tough, it will be of great help to his re-election. As for whether he can win, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he can't be re-election three times. If he wins, he will make a profit. If he loses, he will give his successor a headache.

The United States had a strong naval and air force and quickly sent five aircraft carriers, 10 battleships, and more than 100 other auxiliary ships to Cam Ranh Bay, seizing the sea control power. The Federal Chinese Navy was still very weak, and only some warships eliminated by the Tang army were in service and did not participate in the war.

In the air, the US military sent more than 850 aircraft from the Philippines, plus the power of the aircraft carrier, a total of more than 1,000 aircraft. Vietnam has no air force at all. Because China sent more than 1,000 aircraft to participate in the war, the two sides' air forces were roughly balanced.

Ground troops became the main battlefield for fighting. Three million troops in China and Vietnam fought with 900,000 troops in the jungle. Various modern weapons appeared one after another, with huge lethality. Tens of thousands of people died every day, and most of them were civilians.

Some of the US military's aircraft, tanks, missiles, helicopters, etc. have appeared one after another. The Tang army quickly gained a general understanding and evaluation of the US military's actual combat effectiveness and scientific and technological level, and has a clear understanding of it.

Due to the economic and military support of the Tang Empire, the Chinese and Vietnamese army was able to continue to compete with the US and French armies, causing the Vietnam War to fall into a protracted quagmire of war. After five years of fighting, the winner was not decided.

The Tang Empire never intervened directly. Five years later, it was attracted by the moon in outer space. All military operations on the earth stopped. The various weapons and equipment of the Tang army began a new round of renewal, and the targets were more unconventional weapons, aiming at space.

This is because the Tang Empire launched the first lunar exploration satellite in human history and found an unknown object impact location on the back of the moon. According to the analysis of the photos sent back, the Tang Dynasty scientists came to an astonishing conclusion that it was a spacecraft.

Because the Tang Empire was strictly confidential, Zhang Meng ordered the Tang army to prepare for combat in case of war with alien lives. Therefore, the Tang army made every effort to develop unconventional weapons, such as nuclear missiles, dead lights, laser cannons, electromagnetic rail guns, space vehicles, etc. This was considered by the United States and the Soviet Union to be a new round of arms race. Although they did not understand what was behind the moon, they had to compete with the Tang Empire.
