In 1979, China decided to send troops to Vietnam and began to fight a counterattack war against Vietnam, so that Vietnam could no longer do things, and General Xu Shiyou was the commander-in-chief. This war ended in China's victory, and we know very well how the Vietnamese army fought. It didn't take long for the People's Liberation Army to march against the Vietnamese capital, and after the victory in the war, it was time to return to the Dynasty.
On the eve of his return to China, Xu Shiyou issued three orders, first, to build some mines on the border of Vietnam during the retreat. The effect of these mines is very good, because Vietnam has no way to judge how many mines our country has hidden, so if they want to go to the border, they must clear mines, which makes it more difficult for them to sneak attack.
There are rumors that there are still many mines on the Vietnamese border, and if their soldiers want to cross the border, they will have to die, and if Vietnam wants to carry out a surprise attack on the border, it is even more impossible.
The second is to take all the supplies in their camp, and if there is no way to take them, they will be burned. Xu Shiyou's order is not without reason, the vast majority of the materials in the Vietnamese military camp were funded by China before, but when the Vietnamese soldiers used these things to fight China, they did not talk about it at all, not only used those dirty methods, but also did not want humanitarianism, and also released biological and chemical weapons to the PLA.
Later, the People's Liberation Army defeated the Vietnamese soldiers, ran to the enemy camp, and looked at so many Chinese supplies, everyone was confused. Some of the soldiers who fought in self-defense counterattack were those who had helped the People's Liberation Army in Vietnam, and after much hardship, they were very enthusiastic about helping their friends, and the result was a story of a farmer and a snake.
Therefore, after Xu Shiyou learned about the materials, he was also particularly angry, and immediately ordered that all these things be taken away and not left behind at all.
The last order is the most important thing, and that's why we're fighting Vietnam. That is to destroy all the industry and transportation facilities on the road. Vietnam has not been unified for a long time, and those infrastructures are their last cards and their hopes for the future, with the foundation of these developments, they have enough strength to develop the military and economy.
And Xu Shiyou's order is to let their economy go back to decades ago, there is nothing, for a 21st century country, this kind of thing is destroyed is equivalent to coming to a primitive society. The end result is that the country has not been able to generate electricity and supply water for a long time.
Because the power plant in the capital was destroyed, people could say that there was nothing to do, especially the city residents could not survive. This was also the case in Vietnam after the war, and although it was easy to rebuild these facilities, the cost was also particularly high.
First, the Vietnamese government has just been defeated and has no way to spend so much money to build these things, and the capital is the center of the circle. Even if it is rebuilt, the Vietnamese government's money has been hollowed out, and when they next accumulate money for development, they will be thanked.
And Vietnam's luck has not been very good, the end of the twentieth century is the fastest time for the global economy to develop, hitchhiking this free ride, even if it is another country can rise two steps.
Even if Vietnam, which was devastated by the war, happened to miss this opportunity, even if Vietnam has been announcing to the world that it is about to rise, as long as it is reasonable, it can be seen that Vietnam has long missed the opportunity, and if he wants to survive, he can only watch and covet some cake crumbs occasionally thrown by the big powers.
We just did some small things, which caused Vietnam to not keep up with the pace of the times for decades, and for this reason, every time Vietnam looks at this history, it hates China very much, thinking that China's obstruction of Vietnam has no way to rise.
But all this is actually the end of Vietnam. As a country that wants to make friends with its neighbors, China's attitude toward its neighbors is exemplary throughout the world, and if Vietnam had been on the border of the United States or the Soviet Union, would it have had a good life? I'm afraid there will only be a worse ending.
History is full of drama, but the vast majority of it is hard work that has good results, it is Vietnam itself that will never be satisfied to push itself into the abyss, the Vietnamese government of that era should bear the pot, and the current end is fate.
