Bases

On Mao-ist principles, Truong Chinh noted that ‘there are many kinds of bases: mountainous areas, in the delta and in marshy areas’. Favourable natural features were important for the safety of the bases. But Truong Chinh, like Mao, laid more stress on ‘regular troops ready to make sacrifices … to stay the enemy’s advance, to safeguard the base and defend the leading organs and the population’; and above all, on an ‘active, widely organized’ people ‘ready to support the army in every field’. The existence of these two factors contradicted the opinion held by some ‘people’—unspecified, though Mao Tse-tung himself had held this view—that ‘because our territory is small, it is impossible for us to establish resistance bases’.39
