1947: Ho Chi Minh is isolated. Will he survive Operation Lea, the massive French offensive? At the same time an alliance between non-communist Vietnamese nationalists and the French is starting to take form and the former emperor Bao Dai is in the middle of it.

In 1945, the independence of Viet Nam was proclaimed twice: first Bao Dai proclaimed the Empire of Viet Nam in march 1945, then Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam on the September 2nd 1945.

Cela ne présage rien de bon à la veille de l’arrivée de l’expédition punitive de N…
