'working in the midst of the enemy.

damaged and the Permanent Commission could not be in direct contact with
its members to guide their activities. _. large part of its members were
therefore obliged to cease their activities. Because of this, the -urban
direction of the party was also obliged to slow down its action...
2. - "Comrades, the Vietnamese people can follow only one road: to expel the
imperialist invaders and bring independence and liberty to the country. ..-e
vrish peace; we must begin by combatting and annihilating the colonialists
provokers at any price.
3, "llowr will the general offensive be conducted? it is important, comrades,.
that you knmvr exactly what the partisan's responsibility will be during
this new period of (Viet Tlaaa's) history.
"The general offensive is first of all an awakening of the people aa;tor
years of preparation. Our offensive will in no way depend on foreign
troops as the principal liberation force. On the contrary, the principal
force will be the vietn.amese people, the large majority of whom will be-
come armed forces on the battlefield. The liberation of the nation is
the duty of the people, who must today fully participate in the resistance
movement to annihilate the ener:rsr. .To one must hesitate, because to hesi-
tate is to endanger the country and the people. There will be moments of
intensive fighting on all fronts and others of abatement. This is because
of reasons k=m to the resistance (leaders). They will be made kmovm to
you in time.
