20230901 Cong Dong Tham Luan Chuyen Di Dem P45

 

Trong tài liệu nầy cho thấy ngày 23 tháng Giêng năm 1973 chỉ là ngày chuẩn thuận hiệp ước đình chiến Paris Peace Accords 1973.

Ngày thực thụ ký kết hiệp ước Paris Peace Accords 1973 là ngày 27 tháng Giêng 1973.

Lúc nầy Lê Đức Thọ trở lại vấn đề mặc cả sự bồi thường chiến tranh với Kissinger từ 3 tỷ dollars tăng lên 5 tỷ với lý do vì Hoa Kỳ đã bị dội bomb qua Operation Linebacker II trong cuối tháng 12 năm 1972.

Đọc đoạn văn dưới đây liệu có ai hiểu được ý của Lê Đức Thọ trong việc đòi tiền Kissinger?

… “Le Duc Tho: So now regarding the healing of the war wounds. I have expressed my views on this question at length in October. You have known our views. I think that it is an obligation of the United States to reconstruct our economy and to rehabilitate our economy after the war. I agree with you that this is not a protocol attached to the agreement, but it is something between us two independently of the agreement and this will reflect the relationship we have after the war. So I would like to propose now we will have a provisional bilateral protocol not attached to the agreement. And when you visit Hanoi we will discuss this in detail and we will come to a concrete agreement. [Page 1299] I think that this protocol now will include only a number of principles. We have drafted this protocol mentioning a number of principles. I would like to hear your views.” …

Lê Đức Thọ đòi tiền cho cả dân miền Bắc hay chỉ cho riêng bộ chính trị cộng sản giặc Hồ?

Đoạn văn dưới đây cho thấy có lẻ Kissinger hiểu ý Lê Đức Thọ cho nên đã lấy Article 3 để giải thích cho Lê Đức Thọ.

“…   Le Duc Tho: A new one, which supersedes the old one in December. Only basic principles. [Dr. Kissinger reads Tab D, DRV draft of January 10.]

Dr. Kissinger: You consider $5 billion a principle? [Tho laughs]

Le Duc Tho: I will discuss it with you. Previously we agreed on the rough amount of $3 billion, but the recent bombings created a great deal of material and human losses. We can say that the losses caused at that time was one-third of the damages caused since the resumption of the bombing. This is our proposal and we will discuss it. And I think that the $5 billion amount is something reasonable.

Dr. Kissinger: And logical. [Tho laughs] You should try that before a Congressional committee sometimes. But let me explain our difficulties. First, just looking through this protocol. Your saying that something is not a protocol attached to the agreement does not necessarily make it so. Where you say “in implementing Article 21, Chapter VIII, of the Agreement,” that clearly makes it part of it. I mean, I just give you as an example. Now Article 1, “the contribution by the Government of the United States is made without conditions attached,” that is all right. But “without repayment,” that is technically impossible, although we can arrange the payment in such a way that it has no very immediate consequence. It is very difficult to put into an agreement but in practice this can be handled.

Now Article 2, for the reasons we gave you, is impossible.

Article 3, “the contribution of the government is used for the reconstruction of installations damaged during”—we can say “for the economic development of Vietnam.” And even the word “reconstruction.” …..

strategic hamlets, a South Vietnamese Government program to counter Viet Cong control in the countryside.

The program started in 1962, but was fatally undermined by over expansion and poor execution. By 1964 it had clearly failed.
