Some time ago, US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper launched a visit to Vietnam in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, which is also mark's first visit to Vietnam since becoming the US secretary of defense, in this visit, Mark also expressed to the international community the next deployment of the United States to Vietnam, Mark delivered his own speech at a public diplomatic academy in Vietnam, in this speech, Mark said that the United States will provide a patrol ship to vietnam's coast guard next year, In fact, the main purpose of this visit is to be able to cooperate with Vietnam in defense, and also hopes to improve the relationship between the United States and Vietnam, before which he has visited South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines.
Although Vietnam, as a country in Asia that has been invaded by the United States, has always been courting the United States, and now the secretary of defense's friendly visit to Vietnam has also confirmed that Vietnam may become the next overseas military base of the United States. The contradiction between Vietnam and the United States was mainly due to the Vietnam War, which was also one of the few defeated battles in the war of aggression carried out by the United States, and the United States also planted a big heel in Vietnam. Vietnam was a French colony before World War II, and he became a Japanese colony during World War II, so the Vietnamese people have always longed for a free and democratic life. The United States also launched a military offensive against Vietnam during the VietnamEse Civil War, but in the end, under the resistance of the Sino-Vietnamese coalition forces, the US army was finally defeated.
In the Vietnam War, the number of casualties in Vietnam was nearly 1.7 million, and many unarmed people became the ghosts of the US military, so the Hatred of the Vietnamese for the United States was very deep, and in the war, there were even many US soldiers and local Vietnamese women together, which led to more than 50,000 US-Vietnamese mixed-race children left in Vietnam after the end of the war, but what we could not imagine, Vietnam, which should have treated the US military as an enemy, has been showing favor to the United States. And now Vietnam has also become the object of the White House with its own strength, and the advantages of pressure in the Asian region have gradually emerged, which has also made japan and South Korea feel some pressure.
Although Vietnam and the United States have a huge dispute, but can not stand Vietnam is a country that likes to hold its thighs, because its own development strength is not enough, Vietnam has always wanted to rely on the strength of international powers to maintain its own development, in the sixties of the last century, Vietnam has been following the pace of the Soviet Union, and gradually established good relations with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union exaggerated, voluntarily provided Vietnam with a large amount of material assistance and logistics department, and even sent a large number of experts to Vietnam to guide their government movements. To help the economic development of Vietnam, at that time, with the support of the Soviet Union, Vietnam was able to have a certain strength to annex South Vietnam supported by the United States, and what is even more frightening is that it only took two years.
Now Vietnam has shown itself in many ways to show the international company its unswerving support for the United States, and because it wants to grow rapidly in East Asia, Vietnam and the United States feel deep pressure, so they need to abandon their previous suspicions and continue to cooperate, and now the United States has a certain amount of troops in South Korea, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines and other places, because of these garrisons, the national defense and security of these countries have a certain guarantee. So one of the purposes of the United States in providing patrol ships to Vietnam now may also be to establish the next maritime military base in Vietnam.
Vietnam's Cam Ranh Bay geographical location is very special, is the western Pacific and indian Ocean on the main road, but also with its advantages of non-freezing port has become an important area for the deployment of aircraft carrier submarines, if the United States can establish a maritime military base in Vietnam, it has an important help for the development of its naval cause, which is why the United States has been showing favor to Vietnam in recent times, a country has not helped for no reason, everyone is interest-oriented, although the United States has hurt Vietnam in history. But it can't resist the temptation of the CURRENT US military, and Vietnam has always been showing favor to it, in the final analysis, there is a conflict of interests between the two countries.
