during the WWI, about 100,000 vietnamese servicemen serving in the french army and other french civil services. here arriving at Saint-Raphaël, France. about 30,000 were killed in battles against the German Army, especially in the Battle of the Somme 1916. terrible bloodshed. not only for our people, but for all parties.
WWI and WWII, Vietnam under France administrative same as Laos and Cambodia which called indo China. Vietnam devided in 3 regions; South was called CoChinChina territory of France which the Nguyen ceded to France. Central was called An Nam and North was Tonkin which was protectorate. The Viet Minh was only rebels, underground forcd and evolve over time became chdc Vietnam with the help of Soviet and China (although China helped for it political move, to negotiate with U.S thus led to Sino Vietnam war 1979. ) Japan was short live, it came to replace the France and intention to revive Nguyen Monarchy similar to that of Japan, but eventually Japan lost the war to U.S, the Vietminh take this opportu ity to prevent France to come back with victory over battle of Dien Bien Phu. Clear?
Sexy, buddy, She's just so damn sexy!! Oh yea ...baby! This makes Vietnam unchallenged in the Mekong region in regards to sub power.
), it would be a very big country. But unfortunately they lie in Asia and next to China that is so big big giant.
As you known, how trustworthy the bear is.I can see Russia(Chinas so called strategic partner against the west/U.S. lol) is arming Vietnam quite well. Interesting.........Keep it up old Bear.
keep it up vietnam. To counter China, Vietnam need to extend their expenditure on national defence to about 50 billion dollars level to become a big power like the Israel, of course it would take many years and money, and it would be a huge burden.
Nowadays the foreign military assistance of US is about 10 billion dollars, and the most share (about one fourth of the money) is distributed to Israel. Even if Vietnam could get some share, it would be far not enough.As a ally of US, even Philippine can get only about 30 million dollars, just a peanut.
But even for Israel in nowadays to counter the South China Sea Fleet associated with Guangzhou Military Region is also a impossible mission.
Interestingly, even for US it must be thought over and over how to counter the PLA in this region. But we can see Japanese are jumping up and down to want to interfere in the South China Sea issue.不自量力
If Japan or Vietnam lay in the Europe(for example next to Brits
As you known, how trustworthy the bear is.
But for Vietnam, there is a another problem that they could be betrayed again(just like they accuse what we did in 1972)
Nothing, we have more and better 052c or 052d, latter 055.
Japanese as i knew, if they cannot accept it, they will ignore it.
We focus on coastal missile defense systems more than Navy, and thats the way we won the war against US when both JP-CN navy got crushed easily by US navy. Of course, both CN-JP coastal missile defense systems suck, cant compare wt VN's one
And pls dont forget the coastal missile defense systems that Big bro also equip VNMust say it looks good. Congrats vietnam. Say thanks to uou big brither/patron Russia, they are indeed equipping you quite well to deal with the chinese.

In war, the weaker should play in smarter way, dont try to play catching up game wt the US
And pls dont forget the coastal missile defense systems that Big bro also equip VN

Take Vietnam, for example. The country has the most modern defense systems among all the countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), but it's procuring more than 72 percent of its equipment from Russia for contracts signed since 2010.
Asia defense spending: New arms race in South China Sea
pho tai gan sach is cheap while JP ramen is so expensive, and I've never had a chance to try Ramen
We dont need the US to step in, but we need US to stay neutral and dont side wt CN like in 1979.
y
you mean us helped us to fight you or what?We dont need the US to step in, but we need US to stay neutral and dont side wt CN like in 1979.
CN navy is just a cheap joke to our coastal missile defense systems
We know how trustworthy the bear is, it is Russia that is sanctioned by your west, not us. we coperate with Russia is just to want it to absorb the ammunitions from US and get cheap and reliable-sourcing oil and gas. In this region, there never is a so big consumer like China that can consume so much oil and gas as Russia has to and want to sell. And the situation is that Russia need us more than we need Russia .So this time in the SCS issue you can see that we step in first, then Vietnam, Philippines step in secondly, and Japan and US step in last, we will step ahead of everyone. (except oil and weapons what Russia can export). For us, a paralytic bear is a good bear, not a dead you want.Must say it looks good. Congrats vietnam. Say thanks to uou big brither/patron Russia, they are indeed equipping you quite well to deal with the chinese.
Well Russia has alwats been wary of you people in rhe beginning. Its just because we sanctioned them and they have no other choice than to try and act like thet are coperating with you against the West/U.S. truth is they would rather cooperate with us anyday than with you(if they have a choice.lol). So i believe when/if we luft the sanctions, things will return back to normal with moscow. We are all europeans afterall.
Funny thing is if we were the ones who had agreed to supply these submarines to vietnam, china would have been far more voval about it. Just imagine it was the U.S .lol. vuess the chinese know they cant afford to anger the bear no matter what the bear does. .....interesting.
)and they can only afford to buy the cheapest Russian sub. It is very very hard for only one kind weapons to resolve the victory of a war.It just is a little island, why we must push Japan to get it, for us keeping it disputed to Japan is very useful. A war held near our countries in Asia is what your westerner want to seeStill waiting for China to take back the senkakus islands like it did with philippines scarbourough shoal, since japans navy is so weak compared to PLAN. lol. To be honest i think your leaders know better.
, i dont think Japanese cant understand it(if Abe is not too stupid). For us to keep enough forces in SCS can make us keep Japan's throat in hands and fill in the strategic vacuum caused by the recession of US in the region. Our navy havent surpassed the JMSDF too much, so that you can see the Japanese jumping up and down. But our tonnage of ships launched by PLA Navy every year is far larger than JMSDF. So it just need take another several years for us to keep the Japanese quiet and clear.
