About this ebook

To the president of the United States do I ask the leaders to transparently confirm that they are anticommunist at their root or complicit. How are you anticommunist in the United States? Who created communism and the purpose of using the United States to wage war in South Vietnam? Is this the war of genocide and the defeat of the Vatican in South Vietnam?

The life of the Vietnamese people or victims: colonialism, capitalism, communism, Christianity. The true Vietnam War witnesses live magical stories that have never been told of the United States and the communists is essentially a religious Christian war with South Vietnamese Buddhism under named ideology. A people with a culture of five thousand years is the fastest in the world to go bankrupt within fifty years.

The Vatican and the United States must take responsibility and answer to the world history in the Vietnamese communist invasion and eradication of the Vietnamese people.

The message to the Chinese Communist Party should stop invading Vietnam before it's too late. Vietnam is a holy place to bury the invaders' corpses. The S-shaped strip of land is the death land for all the invading empires.

    Dear Vietnam War Soldiers and Veterans

    Dear Vietnam war soldiers and veterans,

    I send this letter to the souls of the 54,000 service members and their families along with the veterans of the United States and the Republic of Vietnam. I apologize for the late release of this work because for asking permission to post a picture that says to the real face of Vietnam War. It is a picture of President Nguyen Van Thieu pointing to the face of the secretary of state, uneducated Dr. Henry Kissinger, on behalf of the US political group that trades in the blood and bones of the poor Americans and uses the Vietnamese people as experimental animals and Vietnamese territory as a laboratory for new weapons, selling old weapons, training the leaders, and training military and politics for the United States of America.

    Because I want this work to show vividly that there are living witnesses telling the truth that no one has ever told, I have been to Vietnam many times to find my old teammates to be a living witness to tell the truth. A battle and victory unprecedented in the history of war in the world, it was the victory of sixty-seven soldiers to destroy Mao Zedong’s human sea tactics, Vo Nguyen Giap’s sacrifice tactics, 68,000 North Vietnamese communists armed with the most modern weapons in the Vietnam War, including heat-seeking missiles, 220 mm rockets, 130 mm rockets, 82 mm mortars, and anti-aircraft guns that neutralize the ARVN air force including tanks and ships because of the heat-seeking missile system. Of the six NVA Divisions, there were two NVA heavy-weapons regiments that had wiped out many ARVN army battalions. But the NVA was crippled by sixty-seven 3/1/14 ranger soldiers of the ARVN Ninth Division. The story is unbelievable but speaking by living witness.

    Among them were my deputy and nine soldiers of LPOD (labor prison of desertion). Thanks to the victory in the battle in February 1973 at the Viet-Mien border, I was reinstated as a soldier of the Republic of Vietnam. Nguyen Van Be was sentenced to death, was forgiven by me, and was especially promoted three levels from private second to corporal first. Second Lieutenant Chau Set promoted two ranks, from second lieutenant to captain. As for me, a lieutenant, the commander of the unit did not have any medals and was severely banned by the commander. However, heaven rewarded me with an extremely magical reward for recalling and writing the mystical truth about the treacherous face of the Vietnam War.

    I pray for all the souls of the soldiers in the black stone wall in Washington, DC, to be happy and proud to fight for the cause of freedom and democracy in Vietnam without sacrificing for America’s banking system and for the world, a vile political power.

    My compatriots and I in the Republic of Vietnam sincerely thank the Vietnamese-American comrades who died in the battle in Vietnam. You have won. Righteousness has overcome evil right in the hearts of Americans. You have glorified the heroic American history, respecting justice and overturning evil.

    Best regards,

    Tran Van Trong

    Dear Ukrainian Friends

    Dear Ukrainian friends,

    We are Vietnamese exiles who are victims of communist power violence and sympathize with Ukraine’s suffering.

    Dear friends, your tenacious and courageous fighting is a powerful weapon that brings success in repelling the invading enemy.

    In the face of the stormy attack of the tyrant Putin and the cold action of European leaders to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s desperate, almost desperate, call for help.

    With you in the European territories, remember that what your leadership is doing today for Ukraine is what will happen to your country tomorrow. Cowardice, lack of courage, immorality, complicity with evil, injustice is your vote for your country.

    Friends, the victory is in your patriotism.

    Let’s believe and pray together in the Almighty to dispel violence and power. Good will conquer evil. Morality and love will prevail over tyranny.

    I believe that God will always keep Ukraine and you safe in the glory of victory. You will be a heroic soldier to defeat the communists, the evil forces of mankind.

    I pray and believe in His power to grant Ukraine the grace to recover from the disaster and to dissolve the Russian and Chinese communists from this planet of which you are the pioneer soldiers. There is no anti-foreign invasion without material damage. But the eternal reparation of history and the world is always grateful for the sacrifices of heroes.

    Sincerely, once again, I wish you to bring glory to Ukraine. I firmly believe you will win. The wicked will be defeated.

    I prove it to you so that you can believe. The army is weak, the weapons are few, with sixty-seven soldiers with personal weapons, we defeated a large army of sixty-eight thousand with the most powerful weapons in the Vietnam War. I am a living witness. Small history Vietnam once defeated the Chinese invaders three times, the world’s most powerful had to be defeated in the thirteenth century.

    You are not alone; besides Ukraine, there are us. The freedom-loving Vietnamese (noncommunists) are ready to share our victory experience with you. Magical victory unmatched in battle in world history.

    May God bless all of you

    A Few Words, Sir

    This book I write in what I remember I said and thought. It is not bound by a school-model memoir by professional writers. Therefore, you read this book. If obsessed in the old way of thinking, you will feel very frustrated, disparaging, criticized. This is the purpose of the desired author. Books don’t look like anyone.

    The first part is about the previous one. What does writing memoirs say about me? Part two is about personal feelings also belonging to the writer. No possession, no people, no country, no world, and no war. Readers reading this book will have many different reactions.

    If you have any questions you want to be answered, please give up some valuable time to contact me at the email address americanviet475@gmail.com or post office box:

    If necessary, open a public forum with full system of television, newspapers, and media attendance. Living in a free society, we behave beautifully for everyone to clarify. Respect your sympathy. The writer is very eager, honored, and willing to attend with you anywhere and anytime.

    Words to the Book

    This work recounts only a few historical relics of my family and my village, which were typical victims and shared the same fate as the grieving nation. Vietnam is a victim of international power. The great powers and Christians are victims of international Christianism and wickedness. The current generation is the victim of the past generation. Future generations are victims of the current generation. I would like to contribute a little bit to the history of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam in particular and the government of the Republic of Vietnam in general.

    I’m an inside man. I need to tell what’s true. I do not accept sedation, concealment, mutilation, or re-aplation. I cannot lie to future generations by writing according to my government, our party, or on the orders of my master. Whatever’s wrong with our government, we have to write good, hide evil, and hide from history. The act of concealing the truth is poisoning innocent children, making them live in delusions, being ashamed of their conscience, and feeling guilty of history.

    For me, seeing, hearing, or meeting something, I say that not because I want to be praised by readers, afraid of criticism to write according to the public psychology to sentence readers. Don’t write. Write the truth; don’t be afraid. Pope Benedict XVI urged the sheep not to be afraid of anticommunist political purposes but feared it was the motivation of a great religion (Tran Van Trong 9999).

    Let us never think this: we hide the truth from the truth. The truth never loses. Jesus said, I want people not to know. Better not do it. There’s nothing hidden in the sun. Our side hid it. The communists came out ten times more. Something is not there, they who set out for yes.

    The reader, whether they believe or not, is not the purpose of the writer. The truth is hard to believe, but I speak with the truth to the next generation. We want to liberate our compatriots from the dictatorship and fight foreign invaders from invading the country. The first thing the Vietnamese need to do is to return to their origins, know their fatherland, unite, heal ethnic wounds, and break the people’s education.

    The Jews, after two thousand years of exile by knowing solidarity, remembers the origin, which now dominates the Vatican and the powers of Britain, Russia, America, France, Germany, China, just a Bible. Of the two bad things, we choose the bad less. The easier to cultivate, the better. To cure the disease, we must find the root of the disease and treat it at the root of the disease. We fight the Viet communists, and the communists are breaking branches and leaves. They are victims of victims. So where’s the stump? Is the author of a communist sin against humanity?

    Anticommunists can’t blind touching the elephants. It’s transformed. We have to shape it. He’s for me, thank you. He honors me as a teacher who shows him the evolution path he’s desperately lost. Demonic diseases must have the medicine of the fairy dragon race to shape the reconciliation because the communists are virtualized.

    The communists were the Sphinx of Rome, devouring those who did not know, including his followers and those against it. The third and fourth international communists Stalin, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, Ta Thu Thau, Phan Van Hum, Ngo Dinh Diem, and others like US, Russia, China, and Vietnam are all victims of it. He’ll thank you when anyone tells him who he is. He was the one who caused the world war against humanity and also the creator of peace for the world.

    To save Vietnam, we must open the deadlock for the world. It’s an ideology crisis. All activities from religion, politics, and society are bankrupting beliefs. Therefore, trust must be restored. Man must master it, grasp the subject, and get out of the animal victim.

    Dear Former Generals of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and Administrative Officers

    Dear generals,

    Former generals of the United States, South Vietnam Republic, and Communist North Vietnam participated in the battle in Tan Chau district, Chau Doc province, the communes of Thuong Thoi, Thuong Phuoc, and Thuong Lac at the Vietnam-Cambodia border in February 1973.

    According to General Cao Van Vien, A small army wins a large force with only Napoleonic military genius (a reply to Mr. Lam Le Trinh on YouTube). Mr. Cao Van Vien was born in Laos and studied the French and Lao program and how to know the history of Vietnam about the talents of the Holy Hung Dao Vuong and King Quang Trung. And you generals in the US military, Communist North Vietnam, the Army of the Republic of Vietnam have never seen 68,000 North Vietnamese communists armed with state-of-the-art weapons never seen in the Vietnam War, such as heat-range missiles, knit fire like dense nets due to anti-aircraft high-altitude guns, 220-gun, 130-glass, 122-glass, and 82-glass disabled air force. Navy and Air Force of the Republic of Vietnam has wiped out many units of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam that must be paralyzed under sixty-seven M-16 individual gunmen.

    Have you ever seen handguns destroy long-range 60 mm mortars firing 1,800 yards, long-range mortars destroying 82 mm mortars firing 3,200 yards long of North Vietnamese communists without the need for any state-of-the-art US machinery. Why? How? Where? When? Who did it?

    Your presence makes the book launch more real life. If you read this book, please comment and correct the work more perfectly. Now this is on behalf of anonymous soldiers contributing to the majestic military of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and the Pentagon records of the Vietnam War story by living witnesses never recounted (based on the lives of the true story).

    Respectfully,

    Soldier Tran Van Trong

    Ethnic Soldiers, Anti-aggression, Internal Corruption, and Communist Invasions

    Ladies and gentlemen, generals,

    I am former Lieutenant Tran Van Trong, captain, 3/14 Company (1973), Division 9 Infantry of the Republic of Vietnam Army (ROVA).

    Dear you,

    Now I want to talk to the living to clarify history exactly, truly, before we get to the lid of the coffin. I ask that you honestly answer the following questions of your former seniors.

    Battle in Chau Doc province in February 1973, North Vietnamese Communist Party with the presence of many major units, including three divisions—5, 7, 9—and two heavy-weapons artillery regiments. Instead of strengthening our numbers to clash with the NVC’s powerful forces, you ordered us to reduce each company to a full-level thirtieth-class, one-hundredth-century company, and to be healthy soldiers. Therefore, the number of Company 3/1/14 is only sixty-seven, including fifty-eight military personnel in the army and nine laborer military prisoners (as a rule, the full book issued by a company is 120). For what reason?

    At that time, Third Battalion Company 1/14 was ordered to search for North Vietnamese communists (NVC) forces (including three divisions—5, 7, 9—and two heavy-weapons artillery regiments), moving from Phuoc Long province across the border of Viet-Cambodia. Do you have sufficient intelligence about the communist force before ordering us to track down the enemy? Is this a US order, or do you set your own? (at the time I think).

    To occupy 16 provinces in region 4, North Vietnam Communist launched a Mekong Delta campaign consisting of 3 Divisions 5, 7, 9 & C30b numbered by a Division consisting of regiments of 24, 201, 207, 271; 2 dependent Regiments, and 2 Heavy Weapons Regiments armed with 122-glass, 130-glass, 152-glass artillery (Nguyen Ky Phong, Swamp of the White House, Hometown Publishing; books recorded in 2006, pages 501, 522).

    Thus, sixty-seven soldiers of the Republic of Vietnam Army (ROVA) must fight against 68,000 military chiefs of North Vietnam communists. In addition, their forces are extremely armed and unprecedented in the battlefields of the fourth region.

    Lieutenant General Nguyen Vinh Nghi landed a helicopter at the site of the survey and confirmed this: I, in my whole military life, have never seen a communist battle armed with powerful weapons and with the most advanced heat-range missiles like this one!

    In history, from ancient times, there has never been a war that has not left a loss of life on our side. However, the practice occurred in the history of the Vietnam War in February 1973. A small unit of only sixty-seven South Vietnam soldiers won 68,000 state-of-the-art armed North Vietnam communists without the loss of a single fighter and without losing a gun.

    That fight had an overly dispading score. Why did ROVNA (Republic of Vietnam Army) win this match? It’s magical that there’s no one killed or injured! This is the history of war living in the miraculous history of ROVNA. Soldiers against communists return from the dead and also become a witness of history. It shows that extremely mysteries beyond human understanding still happen in life.

    Who ordered General Nguyen Khoa Nam to disarm Hoa Hao Buddhist forces and arrest Mr. Hai Tap? (At the time, Seventh Division of General Nguyen Khoa Nam in 1973 was under the command of General Nguyen Vinh Nghi.)

    Dear Lieutenant General Nguyen Vinh Nghi, former commander of IV Corps, Fourth Military Zone, is this the scheme of Lieutenant General Nguyen Vinh Nghi or of whom studied extremely sophisticatedly to kill at the same time, the same place, three generals (Nguyen Khoa Nam before being appointed commander of IV Corps, General Le Van Hung, and General Tran Van Hai) mesothetic brave, integrity in ROVNA?

    Is this the plan of foreign states because of selfishness, cowardice, and envy of Vietnamese talent? Are foreigners afraid of Vietnam against communist rights alone? Breaking the political position based on the hearts of General Nguyen Khoa Nam? Does our country have an independent, self-strong, self-receding plan that disrupts their national slavery plan?

    I also ask the Communist North Vietnam (CNV) generals who participated in this battle to confirm the failure and give the reason. In order to record the two sides’ history, I ask you to specify the exact number of CNV soldiers who were killed, missing, and captured alive and the number of weapons left on the battlefield.

    Former Lieutenant Tran Van Trong, former head of the 3/1/14/9 Infantry Divisions, honored the hero of Vietnam Army soldiers. The light is on before it’s turned off. On behalf of my brothers and sisters, I recorded the history of Vietnam Army. Former Lieutenant Tran Van Trong, former captain of the 3/1/14/9 Infantry Divisions, in memory of the soldiers. The light is on before it’s turned off. On behalf of the brothers and units in the past, I recorded the epic history of ROVNA.

    We bravely defeated any enemy who invaded our country even though they were tens of thousands of times more powerful with thousands of times more advanced weapons. We’ve put it on the living history page for the Vietnam.

    We sixty-seven soldiers of South Vietnam Army have won Mao Zedong in humanity sea tactics and defeated the tactics of military experimentation, grilling people of Vo Nguyen Giap in the Vietnam War. What talented general can win in this battle?

    Foreigners pulled the strings of our compatriots to kill one another, similar to genocide. But we have actively done what we want. Nine brothers of labor prisoners of desertion (LPOD) have been restored to South Vietnam Army. A death row inmate dies and was promoted to three ranks. We have returned from the dead.

    It was a God-given victory for the fairy dragon race in a world dominated by power and in humanity.

    Sincerely,

    Tran Van Trong

    National soldier, proud to be served under the talented command and virtue of Major General Nguyen Khoa Nam and Major General Tran Van Hai.

    PART 1

    Homeland, Family, and Memories

    Ninh Thuan, My Hometown

    Ninh Thuan province in the central part is arid, not rocky. Many tropical plants grow wild, such as cactus, brooch, tank tree, hybrid oil tree, and coral tree. Ninh Thuan residents suffered a lot of eye damage due to the dusty wind. Ninh Thuan climate is hot and dry. The population lives peacefully and loves one another as cousins. Three-quarters of Ninh Thuan is mountainous and sea. It borders the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It borders Cam Ranh, Khanh Hoa province.

    The two Trang and Ta Luu rivers originate from the Truong Son mountain range that flows to Ma Ren, Ta Don, and Mong Duc villages divided into two tributaries. The left branch goes into the Quao River that flows around Phu Quy, Binh Quy, Long Binh, and Dao Long. Above is the main river raising fields to supply rice to the whole province. The Cai River originates from Lam Vien plateau. Don Duong flows down to Xông Pha through Thap Cham Street poured down in combination with the Quao River into the Dinh River flowing along Phan Rang, Dao Long, Tan Tai, Phu Tho, and finally to the East Sea, Pacific Ocean.

    The provincial capital in Phan Rang comes from the Cham language Panduranga. During the French colonial period, there was a pillar of 1557 on Highway 1. Before 1975, Phan Rang Prison was located next to Nguyen Binh Khiem High School. Now (after 1975) it is the Catholic church.

    According to data from 1972 to 1974, after the merger of Xong Pha district of Tuyen Duc province into Ninh Thuan province, the population totaled about 300,000 people, including the people of Kinh, Cham (An Phuoc district), and Upper Ra De (Du Long).

    The area, according to 1960 history, is 3,525 square kilometers. In 1972, the area of Ninh Thuan province increased to 3,600 square kilometers. Back then, Ninh Thuan had many very special languages, such as Ma Cu, Ma Ram, Ma Tro, Ma Wind, Can Ran, Ba Rau, Ba Lap, Duong Mut, Ca Du, Ca Na, Ca The, Nha Nu, Nha Cha, Nha Nien, Nha Mon, Nha Tranh, Lu Tu, Lu U, My Tuong, Xom Go, Xom Bau, and Xom Vit.

    Ninh Thuan province has districts: Buu Son, An Phuoc, Thanh Hai, and Du Long (landmarks before 1975). After 1975, there were more places in the communist districts.

    Phu Quy, My Village

    Phu Quy is located on the edge of National Highway 1 (NHW 1), which runs through the upper and lower hamlets, ten kilometers south of Phan Rang province. According to my father, for a long time, there was a feng shui geography master who saw this precious land and named the land of Tu Nhon, also known as Phu Quy. There will be many people to live and be rich in Buu Son district, then in An Phuoc district, Ninh Phuoc. Phu Quy village has no one to visit. The power from the monarchy, the people, and the country also has no one famous according to the communists, wicked, foreign heeds.

    Mr. Feng Shui Geography said the village would later be rich. I don’t see anyone rich or powerful politically. But I think back to that, he had a very right prophetic talent. Anyone with millions of piasters meant $100, equal to 2 million VND. It’s called a millionaire who’s going on the ways thanks to the Communist Party. After 1975, the communists made people up. Everyone was a millionaire, not just my village.

    In the south, there is Cha Bang Mountain, which originates from the Truong Son mountain range, which runs to Son Hai Sea, Cape Dinh, and Ma Vat mountain. Trang River passes the seventh communist military base, Nhi Ha village (new communist village after 1975), dividing the two branches covering Phu Quy village. On the left is called Quao River. The right branch flows the bow in front of Phu Quy village, cuts across National Highway 1 into Ba Su River, and continues to flow down my village, Hoa Thuy, Thanh Tin, and then to the Pacific Ocean.

    In 1960, due to insecurity, Viet Minh or about harassing the villages of Nhuan Duc, Mong Duc. The old monk master moved the pagoda from Mong Duc village to build on the land on the banks of the Phu Quy River. This is a predetermined landmark. The monk died and the disciple Co Chin Phien Nun Sessions replaced, taking care of the temple. Long Quy Pagoda is also Ba Su Pagoda. When we were kids, we used to go down to the River Ba Su to climb the tall trees to jump into the river to bathe at noon, making paratroopers really fun.

    In 1970, the governor of Colonel Tran Van Tu was promoted by the power of President Nguyen Van Thieu. Mr. Tu was very jealous of Mr. Representative Tu Cong Xuan of Van Lam village (Hamlet elect) and hated Mr. Ho Si Lau of Mong Duc village, the national inspector institute, because Mr. Lau always examined corruption, examining very carefully. No corrupt officials escaped Mr. Lau’s hands. Every time Mr. Lau from Saigon capital visited the countryside of Mong Duc, Mr. Tran Van Tu He was disrupted and harassed Mr. Lau.

    From Phu Quy people want to go to the villages of Mong Duc, Huu Duc, La Word, and Ca The to wade across the Ma Ram River in the summer shallow water. Winter floods are miserable for the people of this region. Mr. Tran Van Tu’s fraud erected two chickens slaves, (two scarecrows) at Vietnam and at Chiem Thanh to break Mr. Cong Xuan, and the Mr. Ton That Hieu effect lost the term of the relics in 1971–1975.

    That two are the slave members of the government. And the president took the government’s money and therefore eliminated by Buddhism. In addition, because Tran Van Tu resented Ton That Hieu’s signs for deceiving him, he hung a sign not receiving people in person at the door of the provincial office.

    Memories of Childhood

    Uncle Sau Ngau Soul Sacred River Mountain

    The two rivers surrounding Phu Quy area are not very deep. Every summer, there are rivers still deep up to the back of the pants. Relatives working in the field saw shallow river water for Bac Sau Ngau, the Chinese in the constellation of good markets. Bac Sau Ngau went all over the village from top to bottom: Go to get the fish! The next day the whole village, men and women, carried the tools along with him. The fish are not very big. There’s a snakehead as big as a left foot called a big one. We’re so happy. The love of one another in the village is so charming until communists spilled over to assassinate, burn, destroy the pagoda, damn the pagoda, and assassinate the good people. The village is broken; the love of the people is broken. The sacred spirit of the mountain river vanishes according to the cruelty of communists.

    The tool basket is made of bamboo capsules as large as chopsticks about the height of the adult. On top of the mouth, there is a circular wooden stick assembled to hold hands pressed into the sand under the river water. The bottom is about half a foot round, like a leaf cone. The villagers use the tool to get the fish. Used flat, the shelters are knitting tools, braided with bamboo to catch copper fish and bait tubes to catch eels.

    Uncle Hai Cheo

    Near Tet (New Year), children beg for money to go get a haircut. Uncle Hai Cheo was in his eighties. His feet were crippled. Where did he come from? Every year on the twenty-seventh of Tet, Uncle also began to bump crabs at the tent market. The sky is cool; swallows glide quickly through the fairways of Mr. Vo Huu Cong and Mr. Cai’s house in the constellation of markets. Children are naughty, whipping swallows but never hitting the swallow.

    In the afternoon of 30 Tet, every house is worried about incense lamps offering grandparents, erected. Everyone’s well-dressed and decent. On the first day of the early morning, it was cold and cold to leave. My village grew most cactus, beams, and tank tree. So no one picked cactus that people broke branches of Com Nguoi flowers to
