Maps are the best proof of ambition, why the Vietnamese map should include Laos and Cambodia

The ancients cloud "born from the heart", a person's inner thoughts will always be consciously or unconsciously reflected from the appearance, some people observe meticulously so that they can gain insight into the minds of others, and some people will not expose the slightest bit of the depth of the city government

The two armies are opposed, and every move must be reported at any time, in order to predict the next move in advance and then take precautions, but the opposite side will throw smoke bombs to hide their thoughts and intentions, in order to confuse the opponent.

This kind of game actually seems to be very interesting, and it is necessary to show human wisdom through wit and courage, but there is such a country that has taken the initiative to expose its intentions thoroughly, who is this country?

It is Vietnam, and if you look closely at the maps published by Vietnam, you will find that Vietnam has always planned the territory of Laos and Cambodia into the territory of Vietnam.

There seems to be a deep attachment to these two countries, but why does Vietnam only have an obsession with these two countries?

What is the cause of such attachment?

Vietnam Profile

Vietnam's geographical location is very unique, it borders the mainland Guangxi Yunnan to the north, and the border with Laos and Cambodia in the west, from the map of the Vietnamese country is like a narrow ravine,

China has fifty-six ethnic groups, while Vietnam has fifty-four ethnic groups, of which the Jing occupy the largest number of people.

In fact, Vietnam has a deep historical relationship with the mainland in ancient times, and the name of Vietnam has changed several times.

From the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

"Cross toe"

To the Tang Dynasty

"Annan"

Finally to the Qing Dynasty

"Vietnam"

It can be said that the origin of Vietnam has a lot to do with the mainland.

One of the most illustrative of this fact is that the original Vietnamese ruler Nguyen Phuc Anh wanted to change its name to "Great Vietnam" after unifying Vietnam, and the name of the country was "South Vietnam", but when he handed this matter over to the suzerainty, that is, the Mainland Qing Dynasty.

The Jiaqing Emperor believed that historical South Vietnam covered Guangxi and other places on the mainland, so it was denied at odds with the literal meaning, and changed "South Vietnam" to "Vietnam".

Until the modern period, Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh also adopted the name "Socialist Republic of Vietnam" when he established the new state in 1945.

Vietnam's route to a modern country is almost the same as that of the mainland.

From 1850 onwards, France gradually began to invade Vietnam, and Vietnam at that time still called us suzerainty and hoped that the qing dynasty, the ruler at that time, would send troops to resist.

However, at that time, we had not yet realized the strength of the French military, and they used modern weapons with strong guns to defeat the Black Flag Army led by Feng Zicai and others sent by the Qing Dynasty, and the outcome of this war was obvious in the comparison of national strength at that time.

In 1885, the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the Sino-French New Covenant with France.

The most important significance of the treaty was to make the Qing Dynasty voluntarily give up its suzerainty over Vietnam, because the French wanted to make Vietnam their colony

In addition, France's powerful army incidentally took Cambodia and Laos.

Now the entire Southeast Asian region on the map was almost a colony of the French at that time, and when our country suffered this great disaster, countless ancestors went out to study and find a way out for the country, and although Vietnam was not as good as our country, there were still a few people of insight.

Nguyen Paguo, later Ho Chi Minh, went overseas to learn advanced knowledge and came into contact with Marxism-Leninism, which was nothing more than a life-saving medicine for him and his country

In 1930, Nguyen Founding the Communist Party of Vietnam in Hong Kong.

Then began to grow for a long time, and patiently sought opportunities,

Finally, when the Japanese army invaded Vietnam in 1940, Nguyen Aiguo knew whether he could save the country from imperialism this time, and Nguyen Aiguo led all the Communists back to China to start this war against the invaders.

Ho Chi Minh

After five years of arduous struggle, the Japanese invaders were finally driven out of territory, and Ho Chi Minh declared independence in Hanoi in the north, known as "North Vietnam", while the French, who still controlled "South Vietnam", decided to invade North Vietnam, and the two sides went through a nine-year war.

It was not until 1976 that the reunification of the North and the South of Vietnam proclaimed the establishment of the "Socialist Republic of Vietnam".

The Three Kingdoms stood tall

Vietnam, which had rebuilt a new country on the ruins, would rest assured that the people would rest and recuperate, but what everyone did not expect was that

From the War of Resistance Against Japan to the War of Resistance Against France, even the intervention of the United States failed to prevent the founding of Vietnam, and such achievements seemed to make Vietnam proud and arrogant for a time

Vietnam had no funds to arm its own armies, and their letters of help flew from near the equator to the Soviet Union near the Arctic Circle, but even if they were willing to help Vietnam, the round-trip freight alone was a huge expense.

And when Vietnam asked the mainland for help, the mainland almost did not think about it and promised the Vietnamese people, one of which was our vassal state in ancient times, and the other, the war of independence experienced by the two countries was deeply understood.

Third, as friendly neighbors bordering the mainland, we have always been willing to lend a helping hand.

The most important reason why Vietnam was able to win the war was that in addition to its own spirit of arduousness, China provided free assistance to a large number of Soviet-style equipment and captured American-style equipment.

At that time, Vietnam believed that in Southeast Asia, where there were no French, no Japanese, no Americans, the Vietnamese should be one notch higher than the countries of Laos and Cambodia.

So in 1979, Vietnam's restless heart ushered in an opportunity

The ruling class in Cambodia at that time was the "Khmer Rouge" that had only existed for five years, and their rule made the entire Cambodian people's resentment boil.

Vietnam, on the other hand, took the opportunity to enter Cambodia in a vain attempt to add Cambodia to Vietnam's territory on the map.

But we still underestimate the ambitions of the Vietnamese, who drove the Khmer Rouge out of Cambodia and supported the puppet force Ofham Sam Lam and sent troops to Laos at the same time.

If this alone was not enough for China to take action, Vietnam actually drove out overseas Chinese in Vietnam on a large scale in the south.

After the reunification of Vietnam, the mainland expatriates were expelled

In 1979, the mainland launched a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam

As we all know, with our founding general Xu Shiyou as the commander-in-chief, 100,000 troops pushed vietnam's land area of more than 100 kilometers in three ways.

The cannon was mounted directly on a hill capable of shooting at Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam

And the purpose of this war has been achieved, because we are rushing to punish the Vietnamese army, hit the door of your national capital and then withdraw the troops, such a domineering spirit in addition to recovering the territory also has some meaning of killing chickens and monkeys.

The most ridiculous thing is that almost all the weapons and equipment captured during the war with the Vietnamese army were originally aided by our country

Now all the repossessions are left to the Vietnamese, and when faced with the Chinese army under the city, the morale of the Vietnamese army has fallen again and again, and even the city gate has not been out.

After learning that we were going to withdraw our troops, the Vietnamese government immediately issued a national mobilization order to resist to the end.

In fact, in ancient times, our country also faced the vassal states in this way, and those who dared to provoke, they sent a large army to kill all the way to the front of the royal city and then withdraw their troops, one was to punish you for honestly doing a good job of the vassal country, and the other was to warn the ruler to be careful of the head.

After this war, the leader Li Sun died not long after,

The "pro-China faction" of the Long March Wu Yuanjia and others regained their rights and adjusted diplomatic relations immediately after they came to power

, withdrawing troops from Cambodia and Laos and normalizing relations with China.

And Vietnam's vain attempt to pocket Cambodia and Laos has also been in vain, and until now Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia have been in a "three-country standing" situation.

Why is there such an obsession

It is more to say that it is obsession than ambition.

Just like the distinction between people, there will be competition between countries to a certain extent, at the beginning Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia were colonies of the French, but in Vietnam's view, you two countries do not even have the strength to fight back, I am good to win.

So in the eyes of the Vietnamese, Laos and Cambodia are weak countries, although Vietnam is completely unaware that it was once one of the colonized countries.

But the arrogant Vietnam always felt that it was one head above Laos and Cambodia, and this strange sense of superiority made Vietnam more and more reluctant to be compared with Laos and Cambodia.

Although all three of them were former victims.

And according to the history of the time, the British developed India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh into colonies, and decided to merge them into "British India" in order to facilitate administration, with the same number of plots.

France colonized Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

But how should France, far beyond the ocean, manage it?

So the French followed the example of the Americans in merging the three countries and calling themselves

"Federation of Indochina"

The capital of this three-state federal state is located in Hanoi, Vietnam.

We said above that Vietnam was ruled by colonies for eighty years,

It can be said that generations of people born in these three countries in these eighty years have always considered Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam to be one country

Because some of this generation may have lived in a colonial era from birth to death.

Therefore, many people's minds have always believed that the three countries are a whole, but from the perspective of population, Vietnam has a population of nearly 60 million, while Cambodia and Laos were only three million at that time, and one was only six million, so how can Vietnam, which has a huge disparity in strength, be willing to compare with the two of them.

Therefore, after the War of Independence, Vietnam's first consideration was how to incorporate these two countries into its own territory, and at worst, it had to make some alliance.

After all, the French, Americans, and the Japanese are all fought by us in Vietnam, and you two countries have no use for anything and still have so much territory.

But the two countries are not stupid, it is difficult to break away from the so-called federal countries, and then go back to the felt fish that is nailed down, which is why Vietnam later sent troops to Laos and Cambodia.

In fact, according to Vietnam's original plan,

After thirty years of war, the Vietnamese army is still very effective, and compared with the laotian and Cambodian armies, the Vietnamese army is simply a god of war in their eyes.

If Vietnam ends up succeeding, what will happen to Southeast Asia?

A country with a large land area and population, a country with a lot of resources and open ports, and most importantly, this country dares to argue with powerful countries such as the United States and Japan.

Such a country undoubtedly has a certain threat to our country.

It just so happens that Vietnam arrogantly occupied China's territory, which is very good,

Let our strong Chinese beat the god of war in the hearts of Laos and Cambodia, and educate it how to talk to adults.

It was precisely because of the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam that the Vietnamese annexation plan was crushed in one fell swoop.

As a result, Vietnam is still obsessed with Laos and Cambodia

After all, it was only a little bit possible to expand the land area several times, and the only pity was to provoke China, otherwise Vietnam might also be a powerful country now.

Looking at it now, if you say that you don't measure up to your strength or if you don't have self-knowledge, if Vietnam's obsession didn't succeed at that time, it is estimated that there will be no chance in modern times.

With this obsession, it is only possible to deceive oneself into classifying Laos and Cambodia on the map as Vietnam.

In other words, even if Vietnam succeeds, it will not be enough to pose a threat to the mainland, and it was able to put cannons at the gates of the capital in those days, and China can do the same today.
