Duong Van (“Big”) Minh,

Major General, (after November 4, 1963, Lieutenant General), ARVN, Military Adviser to President Diem until November 1, 1963; thereafter Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Revolutionary Council; President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Vietnam after November 4, 1963

“South Vietnamese Communists Sought Negotiated End

After the fall of Hue, that was discarded as unnecessary. Then the second possibility was considered, to insist on replacing Mr. Thieu with a personality of the “third force” who had been in contact with the Provincial Revolutionary Government, such as Gen. Duong Van Minh, and negotiating a government with him.

Chou En lai Kissinger July 9 1971 MemCon D139

https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v17/d139

PM Chou: We don’t believe in the elections in South Vietnam. It is a different situation, There are August elections and October elections and you help Thieu. Have you discussed this situation with Mr. Minh?

Dr. Kissinger: Yes, on this trip.

PM Chou: They want you to get rid of the government.

Dr. Kissinger: They can’t ask us both to withdraw and get rid of the government of Vietnam. To do both of these is impossible.

PM Chou: We have not exchanged views at this point. We have always thought on this matter that we cannot interfere in these affairs. If you withdraw and they want to continue the civil war, none of us should interfere. The situation has been created over a long time.

July 12 1972 Discussion between Zhou Enlai and Le Duc Tho

Zhou Enlai: Is Duong Van Minh ^[2] acceptable?

Le Duc Tho: This is a complicated problem.  Duong Van Minh is not totally pro-American.  Yet, the tripartite government is very provisional.

Le Duc Tho: Duong Van Minh is exactly like this.  But the important thing is how to make the US accept the principle of the establishment of a tripartite government.  And further discussion on dividing positions and power should be held after this.

Duong Van (“Big”) Minh,

Major General, (after November 4, 1963, Lieutenant General), ARVN, Military Adviser to President Diem until November 1, 1963; thereafter Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Revolutionary Council; President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Vietnam after November 4, 1963

“South Vietnamese Communists Sought Negotiated End

After the fall of Hue, that was discarded as unnecessary. Then the second possibility was considered, to insist on replacing Mr. Thieu with a personality of the “third force” who had been in contact with the Provincial Revolutionary Government, such as Gen. Duong Van Minh, and negotiating a government with him.

Chou En lai Kissinger July 9 1971 MemCon D139

https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v17/d139

PM Chou: We don’t believe in the elections in South Vietnam. It is a different situation, There are August elections and October elections and you help Thieu. Have you discussed this situation with Mr. Minh?

Dr. Kissinger: Yes, on this trip.

PM Chou: They want you to get rid of the government.

Dr. Kissinger: They can’t ask us both to withdraw and get rid of the government of Vietnam. To do both of these is impossible.

PM Chou: We have not exchanged views at this point. We have always thought on this matter that we cannot interfere in these affairs. If you withdraw and they want to continue the civil war, none of us should interfere. The situation has been created over a long time.

July 12 1972 Discussion between Zhou Enlai and Le Duc Tho

Zhou Enlai: Is Duong Van Minh ^[2] acceptable?

Le Duc Tho: This is a complicated problem.  Duong Van Minh is not totally pro-American.  Yet, the tripartite government is very provisional.

Le Duc Tho: Duong Van Minh is exactly like this.  But the important thing is how to make the US accept the principle of the establishment of a tripartite government.  And further discussion on dividing positions and power should be held after this.

Lesson in Vietnam from Kissinger to Nixon:… “when we made it “our war” we would not let the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again became “their war”, we would not help them fight it.”

(We also had trouble with excesses here: when we made it “our war” we would not let the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again became “their war,” we would not help them fight it. Ironically, we prepared the South Vietnamese for main force warfare after 1954 (anticipating another Korean-type attack), and they faced a political war; they had prepared themselves for political warfare after 1973 only to be faced with a main force invasion 20 years after it had been expected.)

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.
