Cold War situation, since the end of World War II, the world pattern has undergone earth-shaking changes.
A pattern of polarization was initially formed, and the United States and the Soviet Union were quarreling over the right to speak in the new world.
The world that had just calmed down soon began to become noisy again. Even New China, which had always loved peace, was forced to be involved in a war that had to be fought.
But the end of the Korean War was only the beginning of the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union.
As the undoubted superpowers in the world at that time, the strength of the United States and the Soviet Union was far beyond what ordinary countries could imagine.
Moreover, both countries have developed nuclear weapons , . This means that no matter how the situation develops, the two countries will not erupt into a head-on conflict unless it is absolutely necessary.
And the development of the situation is indeed like this. The United States and the Soviet Union are fighting openly and secretly, and behind the civil wars in many countries, there are two superpowers.
Among them, The Vietnam War was one of the few wars that deflated the United States.
Even the United States, which prides itself on democracy and justice, blatantly violated international treaties. It not only abused prisoners of war, but even used a drug called "empty pregnancy galactogen" on Vietnamese female soldiers
Vietnam War
Speaking of Vietnam, many people must be familiar with it. After all, it is a neighbor of our country, and the distance is not very far.
In fact, Vietnam’s historical origins are inseparable from us.
As early as the pre-Qin period, after Qin Shihuang unified the world, in order to conquer the barbarians , the black dragon flag representing the Qin Dynasty was placed in every corner of the sky.
Therefore, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of Qin warriors to conquer Baiyue, expand the territory and conquer the world.
Vietnam was also included in the territory of China during this period. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Southern Expeditionary Army was taken over by Zhao Tuo, who proclaimed himself the King of South Vietnam.
But soon Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered South Vietnam and canonized part of what is now northern Vietnam as a county. At that time, it was also called Jiaozhi County.
Since then, Vietnam has truly become a state and county in China.
It’s just that since the Han and Tang Dynasties, military force has never been as strong as it once was.
Moreover, Vietnam was too far away from the ruling center, and the transmission of ancient government orders was very blocked, so it gradually became independent.
But it is undeniable that Vietnam's national culture was deeply influenced by China's Confucian culture , and the various systems formed in the later period also imitated the feudal dynasty.
The Vietnam War began in 1955 and lasted until 1975, which lasted for twenty years.
Logically speaking, Vietnam’s land area is not actually vast, and its domestic population and resources are also very limited. So how can it support such a protracted war?
To put it bluntly, this is not a war between South Vietnam and North Vietnam , but a game between the United States and the Soviet Union, or even the capitalist camp and the socialist camp .
The strong are always strong, and the truth is always within the range of the cannon.
War is extremely cruel and merciless. A bullet flying out of nowhere can take away a living life.
For the Vietnamese people, no matter which side wins, there is no winner in the end.
The so-called " rises, the people suffer, and perishes, the people suffer ."
Vietnam is mostly deep in mountains and dense forests, and the jungle terrain is complex and diverse.
In such a complex terrain, the US military can be said to be stuck in the mud, and many advanced weapons and equipment cannot be used. The rifles installed in the army often break down due to the harsh environment.
For the US military, which has always used weapons and equipment to crush and attack with artillery fire, the terrain in Vietnam can be regarded as the beginning of a nightmare in their eyes.
The North Vietnamese guerrillas were proficient in guerrilla warfare and jungle warfare . The key was that they mobilized almost all the forces they could.
Not only men, but even the old, weak, women and children became warriors who could kill enemies in that era.
Among them, it is worth mentioning the female soldiers in Vietnam. They played a huge role in the war.
There are often female soldiers mixed in with the village crowd. They look like ordinary peasant women in their clothes, but in fact they may have their guns loaded behind their backs.
The U.S. military often suffers because it is unprepared. Not only that, even if Vietnamese female soldiers are captured, they will not confess a word.
Such a tough guy is not what the enemy wants to see. In order to get the captured female soldiers to speak, the United States will do anything it can.
Cruel
Needless to say, beatings, torture and other methods, as long as they can be imagined, the US military basically arranges them for these female soldiers.
This included stripping off all clothes and throwing them into a water prison. The swamp was crawling with leeches that sucked human blood, and the leeches were adsorbed on the bodies of the female soldiers.
All kinds of torture sound horrifying now, but even so, very few female soldiers are willing to confess.
In the end, the top brass of the US military thought of a way.
uses a chemical drug called " empty pregnancy galactagogue ".
As we all know, the United States has a vast land and sparsely populated areas, and it is not uncommon for farmers to build manors and raise livestock in the United States.
Among the profit sources of animal husbandry, one of the more important aspects is livestock calves.
However, livestock are different from humans after all. They are governed by instinct. Even if they mate and reproduce with each other, there is a fixed cycle.
In order to make money faster, farmers sometimes let these livestock take some aphrodisiac drugs to speed up their estrus and reproduction, so that they can obtain more profits .
The so-called "empty pregnancy galactagogue" is exactly a drug used for animals.
This drug was used on Vietnamese female soldiers, so there were many Vietnamese female soldiers who confessed in a daze.
Such drugs are very effective, but the sequelae are also very serious.
You must know that this medicine is mostly used on large livestock. The physique of female soldiers is weaker than that of male soldiers, and it is even worse than that of large livestock.
Overdose of drugs can cause death at worst, confusion at worst, and a person with dementia from then on.
Perhaps among a hundred people, only one lucky person can escape death or become an idiot, but the income left by the body can never be made up.
The Vietnamese people’s ruthlessness is indeed frightening. In their eyes, no old, weak, women or children, as long as they are human beings, can be mobilized to the battlefield.
Back then, many American soldiers died at the hands of these "weak" soldiers.
There is an international convention that prohibits the abuse of prisoners of war.
But in fact, this also has to be done at different times and depends on the situation. If you blindly follow the rules, you may be the one who dies in the end.
can only say that there are iron rules on the battlefield.
Whether it is benevolence, righteousness, or morality, first of all, one cannot violate the iron law on the battlefield.
It's like Song Xianggong back then. He thought he was the teacher of the king and a humble gentleman, but he died and his country was destroyed, leaving only a laughing stock in the history.
