Lãnh Thổ Lãnh Hải Việt-Nam

Qua chuyến đi đêm nầy cho thấy chính quyền miền Nam không có một chút quyền gì để quyết định cho tương lai của miền Nam Việt-Nam Cộng-Hòa, mọi việc đều do sự thỏa thuận và quyết định của Kissinger từ phía Hoa Kỳ theo đòi hỏi của cộng sản giặc Hồ.

Kissinger và Nixon đã buộc ông Thiệu phải từ chức từ bên sau cánh cửa của tòa bạch ốc.

Tất cả mọi nỗ lực tìm nguồn viện trợ từ các quốc gia khác của chính quyền miền Nam điều bị khóa.

Ngoại trừ nguồn tài trợ từ phía Trung-cộng.

Thế nhưng ông Thiệu đã từ chối thẳng thừng lời đề nghị trợ giúp từ phía tòa đại sứ Trung-cộng.

Có lẻ đây là lý do thúc đẩy Trung-cộng đã quyết định tiến chiếm Hoàng Sa ngày 19 tháng Giêng năm 1974.

Xin độc giả đọc hết tài liệu để thấy sự nguy khốn của chính quyền miền Nam lúc bấy giờ.

Từ đây chúng ta sẽ hiểu tại sao ông Thiệu đã có những lệnh bất nhất cho tướng Ngô Quang Trưởng phải bỏ vùng I, rồi lại tái chiếm vùng I, rồi lại bỏ, kế đến là bỏ vùng II sau cùng là vùng III và cuối cùng cả miền Nam lọt vào tay cộng sản giặc Hồ với sự tiếp tay của Dương Văn Minh.

Như vậy việc Hoa Kỳ ngưng oanh tạc miền Bắc qua Operation Linebacker II vào phút cuối Dec. 29 1972 trước khi cộng sản giặc Hồ công khai đầu hàng là có dụng ý để “phủi tay”?

Cho dù cộng sản giặc Hồ đã tuyên bố đầu hàng qua hệ thống viễn liên với tòa đại sứ Hoa Kỳ tại Sài-gòn?

Hòa bình trong danh dự!

strategic hamlets, a South Vietnamese Government program to counter Viet Cong control in the countryside. The government relocated farmers into fortified hamlets to provide defense, economic aid, and political assistance to residents. The hope was that protection from Viet Cong raids and taxation would bind the rural populace to the government and gain their loyalty. The program started in 1962, but was fatally undermined by over expansion and poor execution. By 1964 it had clearly failed.
