: South Vietnam expands its army!
As Chen Qing said, the biggest reason for the Kingdom of Siam’s complete defeat in this war was that it was caught off guard.
Although there have indeed been conflicts with the Kingdom of Siam in the border areas since Qin completed its unification, neither the Kingdom of Siam nor other countries in the world thought that Qin would really launch a full-scale war against the Kingdom of Siam.
After all, the newly-established Qin State not only had border conflicts with the Kingdom of Siam in the east, but also had some conflicts with Laos in the Golden Triangle, because some militants fled into Laos, and Qin asked Laos to hand over those militants.
However, Laos itself is weak and has very little control over its borders. Therefore, in the Golden Triangle area, conflicts between Qin border troops and Laos border troops, as well as fleeing armed elements and drug traffickers, often occur.
On the western border of Qin, Qin and Tianzhu also had territorial disputes over the Assam region, and there was even a large-scale armed conflict in the Pansong region.
Then the Tianzhu Navy dispatched a dual aircraft carrier fleet into the Andaman Sea south of Qin in an attempt to pose a threat to Qin, but was teased and bullied by the Qin Navy.
It can be said that except for the Dragon Kingdom in the north, the Qin Kingdom is surrounded by enemies on three sides.
Under such circumstances, everyone believed that the newly unified Qin State would not expand the war, but would choose to renovate the country and develop its national strength.
But it happened three days after a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out in the Middle East, when the world’s attention was attracted to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The Qin State launched an attack on the Kingdom of Siam where the king’s celebration was being held.
The Kingdom of Siam, which was originally celebrating the celebration, was attacked by hundreds of missiles and cruise missiles from the Qin State. The naval fleet was completely destroyed, the air force was completely destroyed, the radar system was paralyzed, the air defense system was paralyzed, the communication system was paralyzed, and the power system was paralyzed. The country was plunged into darkness.
The Qin State, with its overwhelming power, brought back the development achievements of the Kingdom of Siam over the past few decades to its original form.
“If the Kingdom of Siam had prepared in advance, and at least the army mobilized three and a half million troops to strengthen the defense of the border areas, Qin would not have been able to enter so unscrupulously.” Chen Qing sighed.
Then he said: “There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others.”
“The military gap between us and Qin is too big. Not only the army, but also the gap between the air force and the navy is like a chasm. Once Qin launches a war against us, our air force and navy will definitely be Qin’s number one.” Strike the target, and by then, after losing the air force and navy, we can only rely on the army and return to the era of fighting the Eagle Country people fifty years ago, fighting guerrilla warfare against the invaders in the jungle to win the war.”
Chen Qing stated a very tragic future of war.
But everyone present looked solemnly and knew that once a war really broke out with Qin, then this scene would be the most real.
The entire South Vietnamese Navy has only nine frigates of more than 1,000 tons and six conventional submarines. Together with other small warships and patrol boats, the total tonnage is only 50,000 tons.
The South Vietnamese Air Force has more than 200 fighters, but the most advanced ones are only 36 Su-30 fighters and 11 Su-27 fighters. The others are MiG-22, MiG-23, Yak-130 and other fighters.
Compared with the naval and air force displayed by the Qin State, it is simply not enough.
So not only did Navy Commander Chen Qing have a solemn face, but Air Force Commander Wu Jiake also had an old look on his face.
“So, according to the preliminary plan, we will focus our mobilization on the construction of the army.” Ruan Wenyue looked at Chen Qing and Wu Jiake and said seriously: “Once a war breaks out, the navy and air force must be ready to strengthen the walls and clear the field at any time.”
The Kingdom of Siam and Tianzhu can also purchase advanced F-35 fighter jets from Eagle Kingdom to supplement their air forces. This is because of their own conditions.
The relationship between Tianzhu and Dragon Kingdom has not been good for a long time. There are border conflicts and border conflicts with Qin. Tianzhu originally planned to purchase F-35 fighter jets as carrier-based aircraft to equip their aircraft carriers. This time the conflict with Qin was just It’s just accelerated.
The Kingdom of Siam has a close relationship with the Eagle Kingdom, and this time it obtained the F-35 procurement rights in exchange for the conditions of military garrison.
What does South Vietnam have?
The war between the South Vietnam Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom is considered the most painful scar by the Eagle Kingdom people, and the people of the South Vietnam Kingdom are not willing to see the Eagle Kingdom garrison coming in.
But now the only country in the world that can sell advanced fifth-generation fighter jets is Eagle Country.
Even if South Vietnam wants to buy fifth-generation fighter jets, there is no place to buy them.
Therefore, after discussion, Ruan Wenyue and other South Vietnamese senior officials believed that the top priority was to expand the army and develop jungle guerrilla warfare, a tactic that had defeated the Eagle Country people.
The three countries of South Vietnam, Laos, and the Khmer Kingdom have complex environments, dangerous terrain, and dense jungles. Even the once arrogant world hegemon, the Eagle Kingdom, fell here. Once Qin falls into a long jungle guerrilla war, they will definitely be able to pass through. Experience and time entered a stalemate stage and brought Qin down!
Just like how it defeated the Eagle Kingdom army back then!
Therefore, in the next meeting, Nguyen Van Viet focused on the initial mobilization and expansion of the army.
At present, the Army of South Vietnam has about 420,000 troops. It has eight military districts, 23 infantry divisions, nine reserve infantry divisions, two mechanized infantry divisions, six armored brigades, three armored regiments, and one Special Airborne Brigade.
In other words, in the army structure of South Vietnam, each division has about 11,000 troops.
Nguyen Wen Yue proposed to initially mobilize 300,000 reserve troops, expand the nine reserve divisions to 30 reserve divisions, and at the same time fill the vacancies in each unit, requiring each unit to be replenished to full strength.
This is considered to be a step down for the military.
After all, the matter of empty pay is nothing new in the South Vietnamese army (Li Hao).
It is normal for each army to have some vacancies after doing business for so many years.
Now to prepare for war mobilization, Ruan Wenyue directly asked the military to replenish its troops and fill in the holes, so that when the army was ready to prepare for war, both sides would be embarrassed when the military’s vacancies were found.
In terms of military training, Nguyen Van Viet emphasized that jungle guerrilla warfare and mountain guerrilla warfare should be the main training subjects, and the fine tradition of the South Vietnamese army daring to confront the Eagle Country army must be rediscovered!
In addition to expanding the army to 700,000 troops, Nguyen Van Viet also stated that he would discuss military alliances with the Laotian government and the Khmer Kingdom government in order to complete military coordination among the three countries.
To put it simply, it is to integrate the armies of the three countries and make the Laotian army and the Khmer army affiliated with the South Vietnamese army.
Use the troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance to resist the pressure from Qin that you may face next! Sun.
