aujourd’hui<\/a>, Morris rapporte quelques confidences du vieux Giap, notamment son affirmation de l’anticipation qu’il eut de la venue des Am\u00e9ricains, et des pr\u00e9cautions qu’il prit dans ce sens.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00ab Anticipating a fight against the Americans as early as 1959, Gen Giap had realised the importance of a secure supply line. My army had gained a lot of experience in fighting, particularly from the battle of Dien Bien Phu. It was also from this battle that I knew the army was important, but our logistics were also a key factor among many, he told us.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb At the beginning, we thought that the Americans, with their strategy of active flexible response’, would escalate the war and that the American soldiers would come here. We therefore had to look long-term.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb I knew if we were to win in the south of Vietnam, where there was already a guerrilla war, we would have to expand our front lines and fight larger battles. Therefore, in May 1959, I directed the opening of the Ho Chi Minh trail.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
