The day of its birth began, the United Nations' status and influence in international affairs were widely questioned.

When the United Nations was founded, the United States and the Soviet Union had serious conflicts over the allocation of seats. The Soviet Union insisted on allowing Ukraine and other franchised republics to obtain seats, while the United States insisted on increasing seats in Latin American countries. Shortly after its establishment, the Korean War broke out. The United States invited many countries to send troops to interfere in North Korea's internal affairs in the name of the "United Nations Army", which led to North Korea being in a state of division. The subsequent Arab-Israeli War, Vietnam War, India-Pakistan War, Afghanistan War (Soviet invasion of Afghanistan), and Iran-Iraq War, the United Nations failed to play its due role and was in a dominant and exploited position.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States dominated the country and the status of the United Nations was further reduced.

First, the differences between the United States and other countries on the candidates for UN Secretary-General led to Galli becoming the only secretary-general in the history of the United Nations that has not been re-elected. Then the United States abandoned the United Nations and sent troops to interfere in the name of NATO, bombarded a sovereign state for dozens of days, and supported the independence of Kosovo by military means. Entering the first century, the United States even regarded the United Nations as a decoration. Despite the opposition of other countries, it overthrew the legitimate regimes of Afghanistan and Iraq without any reason, and openly supported the pro-US regime.

During this period, the United Nations did not show any performance in places where it should play a role such as the Civil War in Somalia, the Civil War in the Congo (DRC), and the Rwandan tribal massacre. The United States did not send troops to help these countries quell the rebellion and establish a democratic government under the name of "human rights, freedom, democracy".

Obviously, the United Nations has become a stage for competition for interests among major powers.

The performance of the United Nations in the Fourth India-Pakistan War, the East China Sea War and the US-Iran War once again proves that in the face of the interests of major powers, the United Nations has no substantive capabilities.

Before participating in the votes between the United Nations and the Security Council, Pang Xinglong did not meet with US Secretary of State Leslie.

After the vote, Leslie took the initiative to contact Long, hoping to have an informal meeting with Pang Xinglong. Pang Xinglong did not refuse because it was a good opportunity to find out the background of the United States.

On the afternoon of the 24th, the two met at the New York Consulate of the Republic.

The result will not be much better. Leslie hopes that the Republic will withdraw its troops from Laos as soon as possible and not expand the scale of the war. Pang Xinglong proposed that the United States should strictly adhere to neutrality and not encourage Vietnam's arrogance.

The two met in half an hour. The two did not reach a consensus.

Leslie's attitude was very strong. Pang Xinglong's opinion was also very tough. At the end, the two parted ways. Of course, through high-level contact, both sides expressed their attitude. Leslie knew that the Republic would expand the scale of the strike. Pang Xinglong also knew that the United States would provide military assistance to Vietnam.

When Pang Xinglong and Zhao Rundong were on the phone, Leslie met with the visiting foreign minister Afangta.

Leslie did not agree to Alfonta's request at all. She just tried her best to calm Alfonta's emotions. She said that the United States would not ignore the interests of the Philippines and would try to provide support to the Philippines.

Stockton, who had just returned, was introducing the situation to President Frederick, and Berkeley was listening, and Leslie was coming at the right time.

"This is the general situation." Stockton glanced at Leslie, who had just sat down, and said, "Vietnam needs us to provide information, weapons, equipment and personnel assistance. I think we can only agree to the first two requirements, and it is not conducive to sending military personnel to Vietnam for the time being."

Frederick did not make a statement, but instead solicited opinions from Berkeley and Leslie with his eyes.

Because he just arrived, Leslie didn't plan to speak first.

"We should not send combat personnel to Vietnam in the form of military aid," Berkeley broke his silence and said, "We have suffered too much casualties in the Iran war and the domestic anti-war sentiment is high. If we announce the dispatch of troops to Vietnam, it will definitely trigger a government trust crisis. But we can provide assistance to Vietnam in other ways, such as hiring retired soldiers from CIA and sending military commanders to assist Vietnam in the name of sending intelligence coordinators."

Frederick frowned slightly and turned his eyes to Leslie.

"Even so, the risk is still very high." Leslie said after reading Stockton's report. "Vietnam has a very big appetite. It proposes weapons and equipment for thirty divisions at a time, and also provides fighter jets, early warning aircraft, air defense weapons, long-range suppression weapons, and even aid submarines. We cannot meet so many requirements."

Frederick smiled faintly and signaled Stockton to continue.

"Vietnam makes so many requests, but just wants to get a free lunch." Stockton pondered for a while, "It is impossible to judge Vietnam's purpose for the time being. Perhaps Vietnam wants to truce with the Republic after obtaining military aid, or perhaps use our military aid to expand the scale of the war. Although the possibility of the former is very slim, Vietnam cannot decide when the war will stop, but we still have to make two preparations."

"How do you say it?" Redric asked.C. Read novels on your mobile phone to visit

"Military aid cannot be provided to Vietnam at one time, but must be provided in batches. If Vietnam wants to use our aid to rebuild its national defense force, we must be prepared.

We can only provide weapons and equipment to Viet Yang in batches of assistance. "The most important thing is fighter jets and early warning aircraft. The pilots of the Vietnam Air Force have been in contact with F-166 and E-2, and the training is relatively in place, so we can first transfer a batch of F-166 and E-2 to Vietnam. As for the weapons and equipment to form the Army Division, we need enough time to gather together."

Frederick nodded and said, "Stoketon also means this, and hand over a batch of fighter jets and early warning aircraft first."

"Let Vietnam arrange military personnel to go to Singapore with our diplomatic planes as soon as possible." Berkeley said, "within twenty-four hours, we can transfer fighter jets and early warning aircraft deployed in Digo Garcia and Guam to Changi Air Force Base and hand them over to the Vietnamese Air Force."

Leslie did not object, saying: "In terms of intelligence, Cia is still responsible."

"The key question is whether Vietnam will use our weapons and equipment to expand the scale of the conflict." Frederick wiped his face and said to Leslie, "What are the gains after contacting Pang Xinglong?"

"No discussion was reached, China will definitely expand the scope of attack."

"Then what are they waiting for?" Berkeley said.

Leslie smiled coldly and said, "Zhao Rundong sent Pang Xinglong to the United Nations to propose sanctions against Vietnam, which is nothing more than to gain more diplomatic support from countries. When attacking Vietnam, China must consider the impact of the war on ASEAN member states, otherwise it will not show goodwill to Thailand, Cambodia and other countries. It can be seen that China is waiting for Vietnam to actively expand the conflict. As long as Vietnam takes a wrong step in military operations, China will launch a ground war against Vietnam."

Frederick nodded. "In this way, what the country lacks is only a reason?"

"Don't worry at all, Vietnam will provide China with this reason." Leslie smiled faintly and said, "The Chinese army surrounded the Vietnamese army entering Laos, and the annihilation war has begun. In any case, Vietnam cannot watch the 100,000 elite troops being annihilated by China. It will inevitably create trouble in other directions and disperse China's attack power. In this way, China has enough reason to send troops to Vietnam."

"The problem is that Wu Sanming must not be so brave, and Ruan Liangyu doesn't have this idea either."

After looking at Stockton, Leslie said: "Liangyu doesn't have to think about it at all. Two years ago, Wu Sanming pushed him out of the decision-making level. The key is whether Wu Sanming has this courage, so our assistance is very critical. If we can provide Vietnam with enough fighter jets and early warning aircraft within 24 hours, so that Wu Sanming believes that he has enough strength to defeat the Chinese Air Force and seize air supremacy, he will be even more bold."

"No, all Wu Sanming wants is a little confidence."

Hearing Berkeley's words, Frederick breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, we only need to provide some courage to Wu Sanming?"

"The intelligence must be done." Leslie pushed down his glasses and said, "When providing weapons and equipment, we must also make Wu Sanming believe that even if Vietnam does not actively expand the scale of the war, China will actively expand the scale of the war. In addition, we must also make Wu Ming believe that if Vietnam passively defends, it will not only be unable to block the attack of the Chinese army, but will also suffer painful failures. As long as he is asked to have the idea that China will overthrow the Vietnamese regime, he will fight for the initiative at all costs. Of course, it is best to make Wu Sanming believe that if he can force China to withdraw troops through a war of attrition like the border war with China in the last century, he will not have any doubts or hesitation."

After listening to Lai's analysis, not only Frederick admired it very much, but even Stockton and Berkeley had to admire it.

"The next two to three days will be very critical." Leslie didn't look proud at all. "If the war can be expanded before China annihilates the Vietnamese army in its old territory, it can put China in trouble. In addition to Vietnam, we also have to pay attention to the Philippines."

"Philippines?" Frederick frowned slightly and said, "Is it too late to aid the Philippines now?"

"It is not to aid the Philippines, but to use the Philippines to completely turn the Republic and ASEAN countries."

Frederick hesitated for a moment and signaled Leslie to continue.

"China is attacking Vietnam in the name of Vietnam's intervention in old internal affairs, attacking Chinese fishing boats and merchant ships, and taking the opportunity to recover the Nansha Islands, will not have a great impact on neighboring countries. If China deals with the Philippines and recovers islands and reefs controlled by the Philippines at this time, it will inevitably make Malaysia and other countries more vigilant. Even if China does not ultimately attack Malaysia and other countries, it will seriously deteriorate the relations between China and ASEAN.

In the long run, this will be of great benefit to our return to Southeast Asia and completing the strategic siege for China.”

"That is to say, inspire the Philippines to go to war with China?"

Leslie nodded, indicating that it was exactly what he meant.
