action.

Communication is definitely necessary before taking action, and the first stop is Washington.

When the White House learned that the Soviets had come to ask the SEAs to deal with their minions, its first reaction was shock, and its second reaction was - worry!
"If SEA launches an attack, will those guys hurt our people? After all, our people are in their hands now and are their hostages."

President Johnson's worries simply silenced McLamara.

Instead, Secretary of State Dean spoke bluntly.

"Mr. President, during wartime, we will always have people being captured. We cannot give up the war and choose to surrender just because someone is captured."

"Yes, Mr. President, the entire United States is now expecting us to take action. After all, they were the first to attack us. Whether it is us or our friends, attacking them can give an explanation to the public opinion to a certain extent."

Faced with their suggestion, President Johnson pondered for a moment, then said:
"If SEA launches an attack, will those guys hurt our people?"

"Mr. President, they are SEA. If they take action, those guys will definitely be scared, because, they are SEA!"

Just a simple sentence - that's SEAs!

That says it all.

Even in the United States, everyone in the Western world knows that SEAs always take action instead of talking.

If you provoke them, you'll be on your own!
After a moment's thought, President Johnson said:

"Let's communicate intelligence first and determine the target of attack."

In this way, the intelligence departments of both sides quickly conducted further communication and soon reached a consensus on the targets of attack.

Just two days later, the White House made a decision to support SEAs in taking tough measures.

On February 2, in the Sea of ​​Japan, the battle group led by the "Borneo" aircraft carrier was still sailing on the sea.

On the east coast of the Kingdom of Light, the coastal defense forces and the air force were watching this fleet nervously.

Ever since this fleet appeared in the sea, the East Coast has been in a state of high tension, because everyone knows - they never talk with their mouths, they will take action.

Ordinary people may not be clear about this, but the bunker boys in the bunker are very clear about it. After learning that SEA has sent out a fleet, they immediately entered the bunker.

Looking at the position of the fleet marked on the map, the bunker boy frowned and looked extremely serious as he smoked.

"These running dogs of imperialism are like mad dogs. They will definitely bite us."

Anyone who knows a little about SEAs knows that compared to the United States, they are the real gangsters.

It can even be said to be the only remnant of imperialism in the civilized world.

What is imperialism?

He really knows how to hit people.

And they will not take into account any international image or international public law.

"Oh, what on earth do they want to do? This is clearly an American matter, why do they have to intervene?"

After taking a puff of his cigarette, his expression showed more regret. Originally, everything was going as planned - the Americans who were stuck in the quagmire were simply unable to take care of this place, but who would have thought that someone would actually step forward.

Obviously, all this was beyond the plan. Before this, everything was going as expected, but with the intervention of SEA, everything went off track.

What’s more important is that no one dares to ignore SEA because they will really take action, and they will do it without any hesitation.

This is where things get complicated.

"Well, at least we are not fighting alone, our comrades are still on our side."

Of course, except for Moscow - Moscow has asked them not only privately but also through public channels to stop causing trouble.

He was extremely angry about this.

All he wants is to achieve national unification. Why can Hanoi do it and he can do it too?
"Moscow doesn't realize at all how weak the United States is now!"

Although he said this, he finally understood one thing now - besides the Americans themselves, there is a group of running dogs around them.

This is exactly the difference between the United States and other countries. At any time, they can gather a group of thugs and lackeys to help their masters solve problems.

“Is being a dog so fun?”

Having said this, he thought for a moment, and then said:

"We did ignore this at the beginning, but now is not the time to regret it. The most important thing is to show strength." After a slight pause, he continued:

"We absolutely cannot compromise because of their intervention. We must fight to the end against imperialism and their running dogs without any compromise. Compromise is surrender, which is unacceptable!"

Then he added:

"We will fight toughness with toughness and use our courage to prove to the world that we are fearless!"

Everything that happened next was somewhat beyond people's expectations. Faced with power, they not only did not back down, but even showed with a tough attitude that they would never compromise!

On this day, everything seemed to have changed. The tough statements, tenacious resistance, and comprehensive mobilization all proved one thing - they would not give in.

However, in sharp contrast, Moscow's attitude remains silent, and TASS even announced that releasing American prisoners for negotiations is the only option to cool down the situation.

In fact, everyone entered the bunker, including Park Jung-woong. After the Blue House was attacked, he and senior government officials entered the bunker at the first opportunity.

Now, even with the encouragement of the United States and SEA, he still did not come out of the bunker, not because he was afraid of being beheaded, but because he was worried that war would break out.

"...Based on the intelligence provided by the US military, they may launch an attack at any time."

The person making the report was Army Chief of Staff Park Anzhu. He looked at the president who remained silent and said:
"Mr. President, an attack could happen any time now."

"What about the U.S. military?"

Park Jung-woong said seriously:

"What is the attitude of the US military?"

"Commander Bonnie Steele said they would inflict a devastating blow upon them at the first opportunity,"

Then Park An-soo said:
"But now the main force of the US military is in Saigon. I think they can't get there."

"Yes, President, the U.S. military is now scattered all over the world and can't take care of us at all!"

Listening to the conversation between the general and his subordinates, Park Jung-woong stood up silently and paced back and forth in a somewhat upset state. He had been in a state of high tension since the incident broke out.

In the past few years, thanks to the industrial transfer from SEA and orders from the US military, South Korea's economy has achieved rapid development.

South Korea's GDP increased 23 times from US$75 billion to US$2.5 billion; its per capita GDP increased from US$87 to US$244.

It can be said that since he launched a coup and established the reform government, South Korea's development has attracted worldwide attention. For the first time, Koreans had enough to eat.

And this is also what Park Jung-woong is most proud of. After all, in the more than 20 years since South Korea's independence, it is thanks to his efforts in recent years that Koreans have been able to have enough food to eat!

Such an achievement is unprecedented. It did not happen during the Lee Dynasty, during the Japanese colonial period, or after independence. It was under his rule that the Koreans finally had enough to eat!

Hope, not only he saw hope, but the whole of South Korea also saw hope!

It is precisely because he sees hope that Park Jung-woong cherishes the favorable situation in front of him even more. Deep down in his heart, he rejects war, at least for now he rejects war.

Now, the most important thing is development!
“The Americans can’t be relied upon!”

Turning around and looking at his subordinates and generals present, Park Jung-woong said:
"What the Americans care about is always their global strategy. We are just one of the links in their global strategy. Anti-war sentiment is very high in the United States. Since they oppose the Americans fighting in Vietnam, they will certainly not agree to protect us in the war here. In this case, the United States cannot be relied upon."

After saying this, Park Jung-woong frowned, then he looked at everyone present and asked in a very serious tone:

"Then now we have to consider a question. Without the help of the US military, can we defend our country and resist the invasion of the northern puppets?"

The president's visit left everyone present in silence, all of whom knew very well what the answer was.

The answer is that without the help of the US military, South Korea is likely to fall into destruction.

It is not very likely that they will perish, but they will definitely perish.

There is no doubt about this, after all, it has been proven more than ten years ago.

In response to the president's question, the chief of staff said nervously:
"The United States, the United States will not abandon us, right?"

Park An-soo, the Chief of the General Staff, sounded extremely nervous. At least in all his plans he had never considered that the United States would not help South Korea.

"Mr. President, the United States has already sent a fleet and an aircraft carrier here. How could they abandon us in this situation?"

When talking about abandonment, he deliberately emphasized his tone, as if to remind the president that the United States is reliable.

But Park Jung-woong shook his head and said:
"I'm not talking about now, but in the future. We have to face this reality, so we must prepare in advance."
