collapse and fall of Saigon
I deem that the story was enough telled by late saigonese foreign minister, under the Văn Thiệu Nguyễn (1923 - 2001)'s regime, Văn Lắm Trần (1913 - 2001) who was representative of the Saigon regime one of the four sides at the Paris' Peace Treaty negotiation, to sign it on January 27th, 1973 in Paris. The long negotiations which took place in Paris, either rough or tough, afterwards relieved by late US Pt. Richard M,Nixon (1913 - 1994)'s security advisor, Mr Henry Kissinger, who took the initiative by executing secret meetings with the north viêtnamese chief delegation, đức Thọ Lê (true name, Đình Khải Phan, 1911 - 1990), at different locations (Bretigny-sur-Orge and Gif-sur-Yvette, all two in Essonne 91, near Paris) in expectation to unlock the negotiations that the public press qualified of dialog between 2 deafs. Might he be right? Finally, the Paris' Peace Treaty was signed at Kleber avenue (Paris) between the fours sides: North Viêtnam's Democratic Republic, South Viêtnam's Liberation Front, South Viêtnam 's Republic and the United States of America. However, the major request of South Viêtnam's Republic (ROV), concerning the retreat of north viênamese troops out of ROV's territory wasn't taken into account. For the United States of America, their crucial worries were successfully resolved, to wit either the liberation and repatriation of all their POWs by Hanoi or the seeking of their MIAs missing in action. What sufficiently to appease the indignation of the american people who were eager to be thoroughly conversant with their boys' fate and sort while being sent to Viêtnam for years far of their homeland. But what i would like to add here what i deem shortcoming in Văn Lắm Trần's story, that so far it keept still blurry, partly because it referred to national secret partly because it belonged to a remote past! 1/Cease fire: During the negoatiations, never the word "cease fire" had been once pronounced. Fierced battles continued on the field, especially the great offensive launched by the ennemies in spring and summer 1972, while Richard M.Nixon was taking a trip to Beijing in expectation to create an alliance with this giant nation, that everybody knew it backed the invasion of north viêtnamese troops. Fortu nately, the south viêtnamese army succeeded to smash their initiatives by successful counteroffensives in the whole country. What consolidate our position on the pecetalks' table. 2/Peace Treaty's committee of Control: It was too ignored by the negotiations and wasn't mentioned in the Peace Treaty's communique. So, the treaty could be even-mindedly violated afterwards as it did! 3/Open negotiations: An "open negotiations" which included sides involved in the conflict such as Cambodia (Phnom Penh) and Laos (Luang Prabang). Neither Lon Nol nor Souvanna Phouma was invited to par ticipate the negotiations, while, north viêtnam used laotian territory to build a mountainous trail named "Hô chi minh's trail" to infiltrate and supply its troops with ammunitions, arms, tanks...Also, for Cambodia, north viêtnam profit to build logistical hubs at the along the two countries' borders (namely Fish hook and Parrot's beak,..) in Tây ninh province with the complicity of dense forests. 4/Stop chinese support: None hint in the Peace Treaty about the backing of China which profit to expand their regional influence, so, predicting their upcoming war in South China sea by invading Hòang sa archipelago (Paracelse) on January 19th, 1974, commemorating almost the first anniversary of the Paris' Peace Treaty signature! Afterwards, renamed it as "Zhong sha",San sha City, built infrastructures, bastions (fortress), even sent oil-rig HD 981 to its proximity for oil exploitation,... 5/US' troops' withdrawal: While insisting on the clause US' troops withdrawal without taking into account north viêtnamese one, it will benefit the foes to reinforced their combat armforce's capability while south viênamese army was deprived of allied soldiers (US, South korea, Autralia, New zealand, Thailand), subsequently, destabilize seriously the two sides' balance of power. Fall of Saigon was imminent.

The resignation of Richard M.Nixon, annouced on August 08th,1974, striked a lethal blow the Thiệu's government. I didn't share the Văn Lắm Trần's point of view which incriminate the US Congress for cutting financial aids as an excuse to the Saigonese government's failure because by voting the veto the US Congress took into acc ount the corruption which hurted the Saigonese administration (especially, the case of Văn Quang Đặng, security advisor of Thiệu, former commander-in-chief of the IV tactical zone in Mekong Delta, that the US Immigration Office had rejected as immigrant applicant, what forced Quang to take refuge in Canada). So, Văn Lắm's defense was regarded as a fraud's complicity! And undermine the soldiers' battling spirit. On April 30th,1975, when the ennemies' troops invaded Saigon and kneeled down the Độc Lập palace, one of their urgent jobs was to go to the Saigonese Central Bank for seizing the bank reserves which shelter the 16 tons of gold's deposit (as 2021 price, which are worth US $1,800 for 1 ounce). Unfortunately, this treasury was previously removed and secretly transferred elsewhere (according to rumors then arouse, its was loaded into a Swissair's freight for afterwards deposited into a Zurich's bank, the Schweizerische National Bank, Zurich-CH, at Borsenstrasse 15, PO Box 2800, tel: +1 41 58 631 00 00). This bank had once contacted me for an extra item besides this story. I sincerely deem that this treasury belonged to the legacy of our constitutional regime and returned only but to a similar regime different from this one! Note that the costs for Viêtnam's war (1955 - 1975) was valued as US $1,020 billions (little more than US $1 trillion,USD 2021), taking into account an inflation of +130% for 46 years (US $319 billions in 1975).
