Those who follow me, luck will never be bad! If you want to make money, start by paying attention!

"If we win the United States, we will be the third in the world!" Viet Nam In the 70s of the 20th century, the smoke of the Viet Nam war had just dissipated, and this war-baptized Southeast Asian country seemed to have found unprecedented self-confidence overnight, and the "steel legacy" left by the US military when it retreated, coupled with the continuous military assistance of the Soviet Union, made the Viet Nam's arsenal expand rapidly

"This time it is developed, and our weapons and equipment are coveted even by those old powers in Europe and the United States!" Many Viet Nam people began to make the "dream of becoming a strong country", as if the world pattern was about to be rewritten by them, the wheel of history rolled forward, never paying attention to the vanity and arrogance of the moment, Viet Nam's "dream" was soon shattered in the face of reality

Looking back at history, the victory of the Viet Nam War was indeed the result of the bloody struggle of the Viet Nam people, and it also completely shattered the ambition of the United States to try to control the whole of Southeast Asia, and the joy of victory also blinded some people, who were intoxicated with temporary glory, ignored the limitations of their own strength, and overestimated the value of the weapons in their hands

"If you have a gun in your hand, don't panic in your heart," an inspiring slogan during the war years, it could become a breeding ground for blind arrogance in peacetime, and Viet Nam's series of foreign military operations after the war fully exposed this point, wrongly equating military strength with national strength and superiority in weapons and equipment with the odds of victory on the battlefield

"The equipment of the United States is not so easy to use!" A veteran who once served in the South Vietnamese army, looking at the captured American tanks and planes, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, advanced weapons and equipment, of course, can improve the combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, but more important is the quality of the soldiers, the wisdom of the commander

"Without iron will and flexible tactics, no matter how good weapons can play their due role," the veteran's words sharply pointed out the key problems faced by the Viet Nam army after the war, relying too much on the weapons in their hands and neglecting the construction of their own tactical thinking and combat system

"Paper tigers are paper tigers after all, and they can be broken when they poke it," a military commentator said when analyzing Viet Nam's post-war foreign military operations, adding that the performance of the Viet Nam army on the battlefield confirms the critic's view, although they have seemingly powerful weapons and equipment, they have exposed many problems such as tactical rigidity and command confusion in actual combat

Viet Nam's inflated ambitions after the war were finally completely shattered in the border conflict with neighboring China, and in 1979, the Sino-Vietnamese border self-defense counterattack broke out, which also allowed the world to truly see the "color" of Viet Nam's military strength, "I didn't expect Viet Nam to return to its original shape so quickly!" "Some Western media outlets have made no secret of their surprise when reporting on the war, believing that the Viet Nam army, with its vast American-style equipment, should not have been defeated so quickly

"It's like a child who puts on the clothes of an adult and thinks he has become a giant," a military expert used a visual metaphor when analyzing the war, the Viet Nam army did cause certain casualties to the Chinese army in the early stage of the war with the advanced weapons in hand, but as the war progressed, the tactical shortcomings and command errors of the Viet Nam army were gradually exposed, and finally collapsed under the fierce offensive of the People's Liberation Army

"This war has taught the Viet Nam a good lesson!" A veteran of the war, recalling the scene, still remembers vividly, Viet Nam was blind and arrogant after the war, miscalculated its own military strength, and finally paid a heavy price for their underestimated enemy

The ancient adage of "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles" has eternal significance for any country, and Viet Nam's series of foreign military operations after the war precisely ignored this point, and finally lifted a stone and shot itself in the foot

"The lesson of Viet Nam is worth pondering!" When commenting on this war, a netizen wrote that a country, no matter what time it is, must not forget to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and must not forget to improve its own strength, only in this way can it be invincible on the international stage

Netizen "Echo of History" commented: "The victory of the Viet Nam War gave the Viet Nam an illusion that they had become a military power, but in fact, they just stood on the shoulders of giants, and once the giants left, they were completely exposed"

Another netizen "calm observer" believes that "Viet Nam's failure is also related to their own strategic miscalculation, they mistakenly chose to confront China, and ultimately incurred catastrophic consequences."

The comment of netizen "Voice of Peace" was even more profound: "War has never been the best way to solve problems, and Viet Nam's experience tells us that peace and development are the mainstream of the world."

Viet Nam's post-war loss has sounded the alarm for the people of the world, no matter how brilliant the victory it has achieved, a country must not indulge in the glory of the past, but must always keep a clear head, recognize its own advantages and shortcomings, and take the road of peaceful development, which is the real long-term plan

Viet Nam, a country once full of self-confidence and ambition, finally bowed its head in the face of reality, and their story has become a mirror of history, warning future generations not to repeat the mistakes of the past

The comments of netizen "Light of the Future" may represent the voice of many people: "I hope that Viet Nam can learn the lessons of history, cherish the hard-won peace, get along with neighboring countries in friendship, develop together and create a better future."

The wheel of history rolls forward and will not stop because of anyone's will, and the experience of Viet Nam is a wave in the long river of history, which reminds us that we must always maintain a humble and cautious attitude and be down-to-earth in order to go further

Netizen "Wise Analyst" concluded: "The example of Viet Nam tells us that although military strength is important, but more important is comprehensive national strength, and a country can truly stand tall among the nations of the world only if it develops comprehensively in various fields such as economy, science and technology, and culture."
