Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 564 - 270: Changes in Southeast Asia and Support from the Republic
Hearing Yu Feng’s words, the Blue Star netizens in the live broadcast room also laughed.
Indeed.
The thoughts of the West are indeed quite different from those of the East.
They used to have Huaxia students sign that ’voluntary waiver of U.S. residency’ document, thinking they could make those Huaxia students regret it.
Thinking they would stay for the favorable living conditions and benefits.
But for the Huaxia people, whose civilization has continued unbroken for thousands of years, the concept of family and country is an imprint on their very bones.
If so-called ’heaven’ requires betraying one’s homeland and forgetting one’s bloodline, then this ’heaven’ is not worth staying in.
Only these Westerners are still unaware.
Thinking that this ’document’ will keep those students who wish to return to the Republic.
Little do they know.
When faced with such a piece of waste paper, it can be signed without even thinking.
The intelligence in Yu Feng’s hand was down to the last bit, he glanced at it and said:
"Then let’s see about the Republic’s situation... It’s pretty much the same."
"The Peninsula War ended in 1953."
"In 1954, the Republic participated in the Geneva Conference and proposed the ’Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.’
"As of early 1955, the focus is primarily on domestic development."
"Let’s take a look at major international events."
"Actually, these major events are quite interesting. Although not as tense as the previous camp opposition, they also concern the development of the world."
"Let’s first look at the United States of America’s camp."
"In November 1952, the United States tested its first hydrogen bomb, with a yield of over ten million TNT, upgrading the nuclear deterrence."
"Talking about this might not give everyone much of a concept."
"Let me put it this way."
"The power of the hydrogen bomb is more than five times that of Hiroshima."
"Does this give everyone a sense of it?"
"Then let’s talk about this hydrogen bomb."
"Nuclear bombs (atomic bombs) are based on nuclear fission reactions, and on ’Earth,’ this technology is relatively mature."
"Hydrogen bombs, on the other hand, involve nuclear fusion reactions, with the core being the realization of a light nuclear fusion reaction. The conditions are stringent, and the United States only developed it in 1952."
"And precisely because of the successful development of the hydrogen bomb, it boosted the confidence of the United States."
"But it also triggered the arms race."
"Although the Soviet Union was a bit late, they also tested their developed hydrogen bomb in 1953, restoring the balance of nuclear threat."
"With Earth’s current technology, wanting to make further advances is almost impossible."
"At least not in this era."
"So it’s no surprise if later on, both sides continue stockpiling nuclear weapons."
"As seen in earlier CG, by the mid to later stages, tens of thousands of nuclear bombs existed simultaneously on Earth."
"It’s like a group of war maniacs."
"Luckily, they didn’t start fighting."
"Otherwise, it would have been easy to blow Earth up."
"Then we move to 1954, let’s see the main events of this year... The United States formed a Southeast Asia Treaty Organization with the British Commonwealth and the French Federation in Southeast Asia."
"Specifically, it’s a kind of military alliance intending to restrain the development of the Republic in Southeast Asia."
"The headquarters is currently set up in Bangkok, Thailand."
"This is normal."
"As mentioned earlier, the attitude of Southeast Asian countries toward the Republic varies, partly due to their proximity."
"Makes sense if you think about it."
"For thousands of years, having such an ancestor sitting atop them, it’s a love-hate relationship."
"Alright."
"Having talked about the United States, let’s now talk about the Soviet Union."
"In recent years, quite a few major events have also occurred in the Soviet Union, so let’s highlight the key points."
"Firstly, it’s still about nuclear weapons."
"In August 1953, the Soviet Union successfully tested a hydrogen bomb."
"This means that the Soviet Union became the second federation on Earth to possess a hydrogen bomb."
"The newly surpassed military technology by the United States over the Soviet Union in less than a year was caught up by the Soviet Union, and subsequently, it became a competition of stockpile reserves for both sides."
"Then in 1954."
"In Southeast Asia, the Soviet Union supported Vietnam, driving away the French Empire’s troops and facilitating the signing of the Geneva Convention, leading to Vietnam’s independence."
"Speaking of this, we must mention how the French army got there."
"In 1858, France’s fleet bombarded Vietnam’s ports, initiating colonial invasion steps, and subsequently encroaching progressively."
"It lasted until 1940."
"Everyone knows this time period, as the Empire’s blitzkrieg on France resulted in France surrendering in 42 days."
"And it was precisely because of the defeat in Europe."
"Japan seized the opportunity to invade Vietnam as well, and under such circumstances, Vietnam experienced dual oppression from both Japan and France."
"Until 1945, when Japan suffered defeat after defeat in the world battleground."
"The Vietnamese people seized the chance to overthrow the puppet regime supported by Japan."
"After nearly a century of colonization, Vietnam finally saw liberation."
"But just as mentioned earlier, the British Commonwealth had been drilling for oil in Iran for forty years and considered Iran’s oil as naturally their own."
"The same goes for France."
"I’ve colonized you for almost a century; this place is naturally mine, isn’t it? How dare you rebel while I’m away?"
"So France came back for more."
"Vietnam, unwilling to continue being colonized, organized armed resistance, leading to a nine-year-long war."
"And that brings us to 1954."
