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.

Letter From M Lyall Breckon to Miller

https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1961-63v04/d338

Washington, December 2, 1963.

Dear Bob:

We were intrigued, in your interesting memorandum of a conversation with [less than 1 line not declassified], November 17,2 at [less than 1 line not declassified] statement that friends of his had seen papers indicating the late Brother Nhu had reached an advanced point in negotiations with the DRV and that terms had been set under which Ho Chi Minh would be President of reunified Viet-Nam, and Nhu Vice President. Both for the historical record and as an indication of how eager the DRV was for a negotiated settlement, it would be [Page 652] interesting to have further details or even copies of such papers. Do you think it would be feasible to pursue the matter, either with [less than 1 line not declassified] or through CAS channels? It seems curious that the Generals have not made public the proof they say they have (“Big” Minh to the Ambassador November 30, Embtel 1093, for example3) of Nhu’s dealings with the North, as further justification for the coup.

From various references I gather [less than 1 line not declassified] interests have taken a strong political turn. Please remember us to him and [less than 1 line not declassified].

Incidentally, on the subject of the ancien regime, you might be interested to know the New York Times yesterday published two pictures of the bodies of Diem and Nhu. They were radiophotos, however, and scarcely recognizable.

Claire joins me in sending our best regards to you, Kaity, and the children. We hope you survived the change of government without trauma. Our own chagrin at leaving two months too early is still very much alive.4

Yours very truly,

M. Lyall Breckon

Bob thân mến:

Chúng tôi rất thích thú, trong bản ghi nhớ thú vị của anh về cuộc trò chuyện với [ít hơn 1 dòng không được giải mật], ngày 17 tháng 11 tại [ít hơn 1 dòng không được giải mật] tuyên bố rằng bạn bè của ông ấy đã thấy các giấy tờ cho thấy ông Nhu đã đạt đến một điểm tiến triển trong các cuộc đàm phán với DRV và các điều khoản đã được đặt ra theo đó Hồ Chí Minh sẽ là Tổng Thống của Việt Nam thống nhấtNhu là Phó Tổng Thống. Cả hai ghi vào hồ sơ như một dấu hiệu cho thấy DRV rất muốn cuộc đàm phán được giải quyết ổn thỏa, sẽ rất thú vị [Trang 652] khi có thêm thông tin chi tiết hoặc thậm chí có cả bản sao các giấy tờ như vậy. Anh có nghĩ rằng có thể theo đuổi vấn đề này, thông qua [ít hơn 1 dòng không được giải mật] hoặc thông qua các kênh CAS không? Có vẻ lạ là các Tướng lĩnh không công bố bằng chứnghọ nói là họ có ("Big" Minh gửi Đại sứ ngày 30 tháng 11, Embtel 1093, chẳng hạn) về các ứng phó của Nhu với miền Bắc, như một lý do biện minh thêm cho cuộc đảo chính.

Từ nhiều tài liệu tham khảo khác nhau, tôi thu thập được [ít hơn 1 dòng không được giải mật] lợi ích đã có một bước ngoặt chính trị mạnh mẽ. Xin hãy nhớ chúng tôi đến với ông ấy và [ít hơn 1 dòng không được giải mật].

Một cách ngẫu nhiên, về chủ đề chế độ cũ, bạn nên lưu tâm đến bản tin tờ New York Times ngày hôm qua đã công bố hai bức ảnh chụp thi thể của Diệm và Nhu. Ảnh được chụp bằng máy ngoại tuyến X tuy nhiên khó thể nhận ra.

Claire cùng tôi gửi lời chào trân trọng nhất đến bạn, Kaity và các con. Chúng tôi hy vọng bạn đã vượt qua được sự thay đổi của chính phủ mà không bị tổn thương. Nỗi buồn của chúng tôi khi phải rời đi sớm hơn hai tháng vẫn còn rất lớn.

Trân trọng,

M. Lyall Breckon

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.)

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