Alors, on les occupait à faire des filets, des cordes, des vêtements, des objets en écaille de tortue, des ustensiles de cuisine en fer blanc, bref n'importe quoi pourvu que cela les aide à chasser leur cafard.
Le bagne fut alors libéré de ses prisonniers, mais pas pour autant fermé: jusqu'en 1993, les nouveaux “locataires” étaient des soldats de l'armée sudiste que les communistes “rééduquèrent” dans des conditions très dures.
Les routes ont été élargies, des jardins créés et le village a été aménagé en bourg de garnison, ce qui a obligé à raser de belles villas coloniales, anciennes maisons de gardiens.

Lansdale argued that by use of force, the vice overlord Bay Vien was going to attempt to seize the reins of government.
A candidate proposed to supplant Diem was Tran Van Huu.
Le Van Vien, probably assuming that the French would stop the fighting, failed to direct the resistance of his troops and refused to commit his 4,000-strong reserves to the battle.

 The Binh Xuyen: Order and Opium in Saigon
But once the operation was finished, Bay Vien, afraid of being damned as a collaborator, retired to his slender turf and refused to budge.
By April 1954 the Binh Xuyen military commander, Lai Van Sang, was director-general of police, and the Binh Xuyen controlled the capital region and the sixty-mile strip between Saigon and Cap Saint Jacques.
When Bay Vien's fortune reached monumental proportions, Franchini sent him to Paris where "new found Corsican friends gave him good advice about investing his surplus millions." (105) And according to reliable Vietnamese sources, it was Franchini who controlled most of Saigon's opium exports to Marseille.

 Criminal Traditions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
As Saigon grew in stability from the seventeenth century onward and as Chinese settlement increased in the area of Cholon from the eighteenth century, the pirate and bandit gangs that traditionally annoyed the region gradually moved south by south east to the marshes and canals.
Hunted by the French in the 1930s and 1940s, Bay Vien and a number of his cohorts were eventually captured and sentenced to confinement in the penal colony on Con Son Island.
Thus, in the wake of Ba Duong's death, Bay Vien began secret negotiations with the French Deuxieme Bureau for exclusive rights to territory in Saigon, ultimately leading to a March, 1948 agreement with Savani which was formalized on June 16, 1948.

 General Le Van Hung
As for General Nguyen Van Toan in MR III (the area around Saigon) and Cao Van Vien, the chairman of the Joint General Staff, my husband had no faith in them and he did not trust them.
When President Tran Van Huong resigned and as General Duong Van Minh took control of the government, my husband knew that there would be no peace settlement and that there would not be any last-minute agreement between the North and the South.
Remember that General Duong Van Minh twice destroyed (Minh headed the coup against President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963 and ordered the murder of Diem and his brother) the country and had stained its history and lowered himself down to sign his name to a treacherous document that offered his country to the enemy.

Frustrated by their defeat, the Van Than decided to bring in canons and began shooting at the church.

As with La Vang, there is no way to validate the Van Than’s vision of the lady dressed in white and standing on top of the church to protect it and of troops of children dressed in white and red coming down from the bamboo trees to join forces with the Catholics at Tra Kieu.

Comrade Van's more extensive treatment of the same period is to be found in 'Le Mouvement IVè Internationale en Indochine, 1930-39' in the Cahiers Leon Trotsky, no 40, December 1989, pp 21-60.
The author, Ngo Van Xuyet, was a member of the League of Internationalist Communists for the Fourth International, formed in Saigon in 1935; like Ta Thu Thau's organisation this group supported the Fourth International, but did not participate in the La Lutte front, concentrating instead on the publication of the journal Le Militant.
In their new paper Le Peuple (later Dan-chung) they were to represent their erstwhile comrades as spies for the Mikado and provocateurs.

None of these recognised the authority of the sect's nominal leader, self-proclaimed "General" Tran Van Soai (pictured right, incidentally he is said to have found his képi in the Saigon Municipal Theatre).
His successors, Le Huu Tu (bishop of Phat Diem) and Pham Ngoc Chi (bishop of Bui Chu), thus became autonomous "prince-bishops" wielding both temporal and spiritual power, raising taxes and militias in their own lands.
In 1945, the Catholic community of Annam, still bearing the burden of having favoured the French conquest in the 19th century, had no wish to be seen as the agents of the returning French and initially cooperated with Viet Minh governement.

 Night of Despair - TIME
10.5 million) by a war lord named General Le Van Vien—a man who used to be a river pirate and now runs the Binh Xuyen (pronounced bin soo yen), one of South Viet Nam's exotic alliances of political and religious sects, with its own private army of 8,000 uniformed men.
General Le Van Vien bought the police from absentee Chief of State Bao Dai for $1,000,000 in 1954; the general still sends out big gleanings from his prostitution profits to his old benefactor, thereby helping Bao Dai to live in sunshine and sloth at Cannes on a total income of $3,400,000 a year.
General Le Van Vien got on well with the French colonials, but Nationalist Premier Diem recently stopped the government's handsome subsidy to the Binh Xuyen and shut down the general's gambling dens in the name of anti-Communist "disinfection."

Bay Vien escaped, and thereupon threw in his lot with the French and the State of Vietnam, accepting a commission as the first colonel of the Vietnamese National Army.

When President Tran Van Huong resigned and as General Duong Van Minh took control of the government, my husband knew that there would be no peace settlement and that there would not be any last- minute agreement between the North and the South.
