HO CHI MINH NATIONAL ACADEMY OF POLITICS BUI HONG CAN BUILDING DEFENSE ZONES OF PROVINCES AND CITIES IN A NEW SITUATION ACCORDING TO HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON A REVOLUTIONARY BASE SUMMARY OF THE DOCTORAL THESIS MAJOR: HO CHI MINH STUDIES Code: 931 02 04 HA NOI - 2022 The thesis is completed at Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics Supervisors: Assoc Prof., Dr Tran Minh Truong Assoc Prof., Dr Nguyen Minh Duc Reviewer 1: Reviewer 2: Reviewer 3: The thesis shall be defended in front of the Thesis Committee at Academy Level at the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics At hour date year 2022 The thesis can be found at the National Library and The Library of Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics INTRODUCTION The necessity of the thesis Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base is important content, of great significance to the Vietnamese revolution This is one of the prerequisites to ensure the struggle for independence and freedom by the armed uprising and the revolutionary war was won Revolutionary practice proves that Ho Chi Minh's thought on bases was one of the decisive prerequisites to bring about the August Revolution of 1945, the resistance war against the French colonialists (1945 - 1954), and against the US and save the country (1954) - 1975) won all After 1975, the content and values of his thought about the base continued to be creatively applied in revolutionary practice; in which, building a defensive area is a step to highly develop experience in building bases, contributing to maintaining independence, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity; maintain political security, social order, and safety, serve as a foundation for national construction and defense Building strong defensive areas of provinces and cities is the right policy; is the Party's proactive plan to protect the Fatherland from afar The 13th Party Congress continued to emphasize “Investing in building provinces and cities directly under the Central Government and military zone defense areas into solid defense areas, meeting the requirements of national defense in the new situation” This shows that building defense zones in provinces and cities is a necessary issue and a central work of Vietnam's defense in the new situation This is also a solution to mobilize the synergy of potentials, forces, and posture of the whole people; promote the spirit of self-defense, and proactively handle local defense and security situations under the motto that each village, each locality is “a fortress” to prevent conflicts and wars; at the same time, creating a favorable environment for the development of the country The process of building defense zones of provinces and cities has achieved important achievements, making a great contribution to the cause of national construction and defending the Fatherland in recent years, however, still reveal many limitations, weaknesses, and inadequacies That is the awareness of some cadres, commanders, and people about building defense areas is still incomplete; investment funds for the construction of defense works are not commensurate with the requirements of national defense - security tasks in the locality; the combination of economic development with defense and security consolidation in some regions and localities is not tight, the efficiency is not high Especially, in the coming time, the big trend of the world situation is still peace, cooperation, and development, but facing many difficulties and obstacles;

relatively unified assessment of the concept, content and value of Ho Chi Minh's thought about the base This is a source of scientific documents of academic value to help the author complete the task of the proposed project 1.2 RESEARCH WORKS ON BUILDING DEFENSIVE AREAS OF PROVINCES AND CITIES Building defensive areas of provinces and cities is also a matter of research interest for many scientists; typical authors are Nguyen Quyet, Vu Thanh Thao, Phung Quang Thanh, Chu Van Luyen, Nguyen Ngoc Hoi, Nghiem Dinh Enter, Initially, scientists have generalized, analyzed, and discussed the necessity, concept, content, and method of building defensive areas of provinces and cities in the current situation; however, up to now, there has been no monographic and systematic study on building defense areas of provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base 1.3 OVERVIEW OF RESULTS OF RESEARCH WORKS RELATED TO THE THESIS AND ISSUES WHICH THESIS RESEARCH CONCENTRATION 1.3.1 The problems that have been solved by scientific works Overview of scientific works related to the analyzed thesis topic, clarifying many different aspects of the concept, content, and values of Ho Chi Minh's ideology about the base; the necessity, contents, and solutions for building defense zones of provinces and cities to firmly defend the Fatherland; in which, affirming the inevitability and applying some contents of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base to build defense areas of provinces and cities in the new situation Up to now, due to different approaches, there have not been any basic and systematic studies and specializes in building defense areas of provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base 1.3.2 The problems raised by the thesis continue to be solved Firstly, to clarify and systematize the issues of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base, including The concept, content, and values of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base e; in particular, the value of this ideology for the construction of defensive areas in provinces and cities Secondly, objectively and comprehensively assess the actual situation of building defense zones in provinces and cities in recent years; indicate achievements, limitations, and causes; on that basis, identify the problems raised the thesis continues to solve Thirdly, forecast the new situation and determine the requirements for building defense zones of provinces and cities in the new situation, the thesis proposes basic solutions, ensuring the feasibility of building defensive areas of provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology of revolutionary base Chapter HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON A REVOLUTIONARY BASE 2.1 SOME CONCEPTS 2.1.1 Revolutionary base A revolutionary base is a place with favorable natural conditions, the population sympathizes with the revolution; is a relatively safe place in terms of politics and military for the revolution to stand, as a prop to build forces, build strength, “set up positions, compete for time”; it is the place where armed uprisings, wars of liberation and wars of defending the Fatherland are guaranteed to be won 2.1.2 Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base Ho Chi Minh's ideology of revolutionary base is a system of views on the roles, conditions, and the content of building a comprehensive base associated with protection to create a foothold as a base, a firm foundation to ensure the victory of armed uprisings and revolutionary wars 2.1.3 Provinces and cities defense areas The defense area of provinces or cities is a defense and security organization, an integral part of the military zone defense area, and the whole country is built on the province level; including the totality of political, spiritual, economic, cultural, societal, science, technology, military, security, and foreign affairs to create synergy to protect the locality in all defense and security situations 2.2 CONTENS AND VALUES OF HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ONA REVOLUTIONARY BASE 2.2.1 The content of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base 2.2.1.1 To win the uprising, you must have a base In the context that Vietnam was invaded by the French colonialists and established a ruling apparatus throughout the country from urban areas, rural areas, and mountains, armed insurrection was the inevitable choice of the path of revolution Vietnam to regain independence and freedom for the Fatherland “If you want to revolt, you must have a base” That great role of the base - a place to stand as a base, a solid foundation to build forces, store resources, and synergy, and ensure the victory of the armed uprising Therefore, when returning home to directly lead the Vietnamese revolution, Ho Chi Minh's top priority was the issue was to direct the construction of a system of bases across the country, ensuring the victory of the armed uprising The person who directly directed the construction of Cao Bang base right from the early days of its establishment 2.2.1.2 Build bases in places with dangerous terrain Ho Chi Minh affirmed that the places chosen to build bases must “have dangerous terrain to protect” A place “with dangerous terrain to protect” is a “dangerous land” with topography, terrain, and features that separate traffic; cause difficulties and prevent inter-regional communication; cover daily human activities, especially military activities When there is dangerous terrain and terrain to protect, the base is a place to both protect the safety of the revolutionary forces; just created a battle of “advance to attack, withdraw from defense” Choosing the right location to build a base will “open up great prospects for the revolution”, and “disappear into great, small turns into big” Therefore, where there are topographical conditions and dangerous terrain to protect, Ho Chi Minh directed the revolutionary forces to build a local base to prepare all aspects to ensure the victory of the armed uprising in Vietnam 2.2.1.3 Build a revolutionary base in the place where “the masses are sympathetically supported” Building a base in a place where “the masses sympathize and support” is a unique and creative feature in the content of Ho Chi Minh's ideology about the base Because the support of the masses is a fundamental factor that plays a huge role in building a strong base The building of a strong base “is the cause of the masses, the victory of the revolution is due to the efforts, sacrifices and intelligence and creativity of millions of people”; “Only the force of the whole people can liberate the nation from the oppression of the tyrannical rulers” According to him, “the support of the people is a wall to protect us” in building and protecting the base The people support both in spirit and force, life and property The solidarity and unanimity of the people are a great source of strength, a solid foundation, and support for all activities of the base Therefore, Ho Chi Minh requested to well the propaganda and education of the people to persuade, conquer and win the hearts the people and maximize their support of the people to participate in the construction of the base 2.2.1.4 Build a comprehensive political, military, economic and cultural base * Build a political base This is Ho Chi Minh's unique thinking about the base He emphasized that building political bases is an important content; in which, the focus is on building socio-political organizations and local authorities Because, through sociopolitical organizations (associations, unions for national salvation), political forces in the base were built from no to no, from small to large; which is the basis for building the armed forces Socio-political organizations are organizations established according to professions, ages, classes, and genders such as the Farmers' Union for National Salvation, the Elderly's Association for National Salvation, the Women's Union for National Salvation, and the Youth Union placed under the leadership of the Party to gather revolutionary forces for the construction and defense of the base To maximize the mobilization of people to participate in socio-political organizations, Ho Chi Minh raised the issue of solidarity of the whole people, consolidating and consolidating the United National Front - the gathering place for the great national unity bloc; regardless of party, class, ethnicity, religion Building local government is the basis of problems in base construction Because the local government plays an important role in the construction and fixing of the base: suppressing and destroying the wicked and reactionary inside and outside the base; ensuring political security, complete network, and property for the people; organizing programs and plans for economic development, building “new life”, cultivate a national culture to constantly improve the material and spiritual life of the people According to Ho Chi Minh, “Having not established a local government, the address base is difficult to establish and cannot be fixed” Therefore, he asked to set up local government to whatever extent, empowering the state for the people to go there; exercise new freedoms and democracy for all classes of people Local governments are elected by the people, owned by the people, and withdraw benefits from the people; ensuring the mechanism to enjoy the Party's policies (ethnicity policy, religion, war invalids - martyrs, land policy ) for the people; in that, the first of the field for the people will create money, the condition for the strong of the address 11 tradition, supplemented, and developed the art of taking “human harmony” (human solidarity) - the political basis as the foundation for building a base in the new situation This is his great contribution to the nation's treasure of military knowledge Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base entered into the reality of Vietnam's revolution and became the Party's pioneering theory after the 8th Central Conference (May 1941) On that basis, the Party advocated building bases in rural and mountainous areas, to ensure the success of the August 1945 revolution; the resistance wars against the French colonialists and the Americans to save the country won Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base contributed to enriching Marxist military theory That is the practice of building bases in rural areas, especially in rural and mountainous areas in the context of a poor country with limited land and few people; at the same time, firmly relying on the support of the people, on the patriotism, and solidarity of the compatriots 2.2.2.2 The practical value of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base for the construction of defensive areas in provinces and cities Ho Chi Minh's ideology about bases is a principled value system for building defensive areas of provinces and cities That is the principle of building defensive areas of provinces and cities, taking the building of the human factor (political base) as the foundation, the starting point for all jobs; building comprehensively strong in terms of forces, potential, and posture according to Ho Chi Minh's thought on building bases Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base was realized in the struggle for national liberation as a “role model” for building the current defensive area of the province and cities Ho Chi Minh's ideology about bases is the “role model” to ensure the Party's comprehensive and all-people defense policy in building the defense area of the province and city to win; Ho Chi Minh's thought about the base shown in Cao Bang's base is the “role model” to build the current model of the defensive area of the provinces and cities 12 Chapter THE SITUATION OF BUILDING DEFENSE ZONES OF PROVINCES AND CITIES AND THE ISSUES SET LOOK FROM HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON A REVOLUTIONARY BASE 3.1 THE INEVITABILITY OF BUILDING DEFENSIVE AREAS OF PROVINCES AND CITIES IN THE CURRENT 3.1.1 Building defense areas of provinces and cities in order to proactively protect the Fatherland from early and from afar Ho Chi Minh affirmed that “we must also master the initiative, foresee and prepare in advance” all aspects of the country for the defense of the Fatherland in all situations This proactive “preparation” is a prerequisite for repelling war; at the same time, comprehensive preparation of forces, battle position, and potential to meet the requirements of the task of defending the Fatherland in the new situation Building defense areas of provinces and cities with human factors as the center according to the motto “people first, guns later” in Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base; at the same time, it is necessary to focus on building a comprehensive posture; taking the building of a solid position of the people's hearts and grassroots units (commune, ward, township) as the foundation; building comprehensive strong potential; build up the local armed forces in sufficient quantity and quality; constantly improve the quality of synthesis and combat power 3.1.2 Building defense areas of provinces and cities in order to increase the fighting strength on the spot in each locality In the new situation, the defense areas of provinces and cities need to be comprehensively constructed to improve the fighting strength on the spot in each locality according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base That is building the will and determination of the entire people - the strength of the human factor to firmly defend the Fatherland in modern warfare; building the strength of unity of the ethnic groups living in the provinces and cities; building synergy (economic, political, cultural as the core) of provinces and cities in performing national defense and security tasks 13 3.1.3 Building defense areas of provinces and cities meet the requirements of the current task of protecting the Fatherland In the new situation, the task of defending the Fatherland is determined to “firmly defend the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Fatherland protect the Party, State, people, socialist regime, culture and national - national interests This heavy task requires building a strong defense area in the provinces and cities in terms of potential, forces, and posture; on political, economic, national defense, security, and foreign affairs ; in which, economic development is the center, building the Party is the key, and consolidating national defense and security is an important and regular task; building a solid “people's heart” posture, building a strong and comprehensive commune, ward and township as a foundation, closely and continuously with the defensive position of the district and province 3.2 THE SITUATION OF BUILDING DEFENSE ZONES OF PROVINCES AND CITIES ACCORDING TO HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON A REVOLUTIONARY BASE 3.2.1 Achievements and causes 3.2.1.1 Achievements The outstanding achievement of the construction of defense zones of provinces and cities is that “the defense areas of provinces and cities have been consolidated more and more firmly, contribute to protecting the border and national sovereignty, stabilizing politics, building a “war on the hearts of the people” in strategic areas, particularly difficult areas, borders, seas and islands” Particular: Build a politically strong defense zone; in which, the mechanism of operation of defense zones of provinces and cities meets the requirements of national defense tasks in peacetime and wartime; command and coordination mechanism of military and police agencies and the local departments, agencies, and mass organizations in the defense area have been gradually raised and improved; the organizational system of the Party, government and socio-political organizations is regularly consolidated and consolidated by regulations 14 Build a defense area that is richer in socio-economics, and strong in science and technology; in which, building socio-economic potentials in defense areas of provinces and cities is the focus, making breakthroughs and preparing all aspects to be ready for national defense mobilization; building and developing science - technology as a foundation for building a solid defense area of provinces and cities in the new situation 3.2.1.2 Cause of achievements There are many reasons leading to the achievements in building defensive areas of provinces and cities in recent times Which, the Communist Party of Vietnam has issued many resolutions on national defense and security, especially thematic resolutions on building the provinces and centrally-run cities into solid defense zones; the State promulgates many legal documents on the management, organization, and performance of national defense and security tasks, building defense zones of provinces and cities and achievements of the country's comprehensive renovation are direct, decisive causes 3.2.2 Limitations and causes 3.2.2.1 Limitations A part of cadres, party members, and people are not fully aware, not deeply about building defense areas; the political system in some localities is not strong, especially in remote and isolated areas; the capture, assessment, assessment, and forecast of the local situation by the Party committees, authorities, the head at times is not timely, not thorough and not consistent; the quality of construction, assurance, and mobilization of national defense in the defensive areas of a few localities still have limitations and inadequacies; the overall quality of the armed forces in some localities has not yet fully met the requirements and tasks in the new situation; the defense industry's capacity to ensure the construction and operation of defense zones in provinces and cities is still limited 3.2.2.2 Limitations causes The thoroughs grasping and implementation of the Party's guidelines, guidelines, and resolutions on the defense areas of provinces and cities in some localities are still not thoughtful and not by the requirements; incomplete or incomplete content; the motto “every step of socio-economic growth is a step to 15 strengthen defense and security potentials” has not been seriously implemented in some localities; investment and budget allocation of provinces and cities for the construction of defense areas have not been paid due attention and have not met the requirements; many provinces and cities have not paid due attention to and invested in the construction of key areas and revolutionary bases; the inspection, examination, and supervision of the implementation of the guidelines, guidelines, and resolutions on the construction of defense zones of provinces and cities in some localities is still not guaranteed 3.3 THE ISSUES SET IN BUILDING DEFENSE ZONES OF PROVINCES AND CITIES ACCORDING TO HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON A REVOLUTIONARY BASE 3.3.1 Raise awareness of cadres and people about the requirement to build defense zones in provinces and cities This is an issue that needs to be thoroughly resolved to create a driving force for the construction of defense zones in provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base Some local leaders and a part of the people are not fully aware, not yet deeply aware of the meaning and importance of building defense zones in provinces and cities in the new situation This situation poses requirements, requires innovation and strengthening of propaganda, and education helps the subject have a full and profound awareness of the meaning and importance of building defensive areas of provinces and cities in the new situation 3.3.2 Strengthening implementation capacity and organizing the implementation of the Party's guidelines, guidelines, and resolutions on the construction of defense zones of provinces and local cities From the actual situation of building defense zones in provinces and cities in recent years, it can be seen that: The political system of some localities at the grassroots is not strong, and the organizational and implementation capacity of grassroots cadres is still limited This is an issue that needs to be resolved shortly and organize the implementation of the Party's guidelines, guidelines and resolutions on building defense zones of provinces and cities to achieve the best results, and meet the requirements and tasks of “protecting the Fatherland from 16 early, from afar, from when the country is not in danger” in each locality and at the grassroots level; focus on improving the qualifications and organizational capacity of the staff, especially defense and security officers 3.3.3 Harmonizing socio-economic development with strengthening national defense and security in the local defense area This is a major policy of the Party and State to constantly improve the material and spiritual life of the people; improving national defense and security potentials in local defense areas The socio-economic development needs of the provinces and cities are very large; especially in economic sectors with foreign investment However, the socio-economic development of the locality also affects negative impacts on national defense and security of the defensive area such as identification of objects and partners, arising problems of political security, social order, and safety; especially the planning and arrangement of the land fund, ensuring human resources to serve national defense and security tasks Moreover, socio-economic development and strengthening of defense and security are two processes that tend to develop opposite each other Socioeconomic development requires concentration of resources and huge financial investment; attracting a large number of human resources inside and outside the locality to create material wealth, meet the essential needs of the people, and contribute to the national potential Meanwhile, raising defense power is a wasteful and special consumption activity of society This activity seems to reduce resources, finance, and human resources for investment in socioeconomic development 3.3.4 Ensuring the quality of human resources of the province and cities defense area in modern warfare In some provinces, the quality of human resources of the local armed forces has not yet fully met the high requirements of the defense sector in modern warfare This is a problem that causes difficulties and obstacles in the process of building defensive areas of provinces and cities in the new situation Modern warfare has many different types such as high-tech warfare, cyber warfare, “asymmetrical” warfare, and “non-contact” warfare These types of wars place high demands on the defense areas of provinces and cities in terms of 17 potential, posture, and forces; weapons and equipment with modern technology; in which there are high requirements on the quality of human resources of the local armed forces The practice of building defense zones in provinces and cities shows the combined quality of the armed forces in some localities has not fully met the requirements and tasks in the new situation; the ability to defend themselves and independently handle situations, especially complicated situations of political security, social order and safety occur in areas where there are still passive and embarrassing situations; in which, the quality of human resources of the armed forces in defensive areas in some localities has not met the high requirements in modern warfare In particular, the quality of military, science, and technology and the quality of defense and military work in remote and isolated areas, ethnic minorities are still low Chapter REQUIREMENTS AND SOLUTIONS FOR BUILDING DEFENSE ZONES OF PROVINCES AND CITIES IN A NEW SITUATION ACCORDING TO HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON A REVOLUTIONARY BASE 4.1 FORECASTING NEW SITUATIONS REQUIREMENTS BUILDING DEFENSE ZONES OF PROVINCES AND CITIES IN A NEW SITUATION ACCORDING TO HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON A REVOLUTIONARY BASE 4.1.1 Forecasting new situations affecting the construction of defensive areas in provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base Building defense zones of provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the a revolutionary base under the influence of the new situation with some of the following characteristics: The complicated and unpredictable developments of the world and regional situation; the strong development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0); the international integration process; 18 reactionary and hostile forces intensified their opposition to the Vietnamese revolution 4.1.2 Requirements to building defensive areas of provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base 4.1.2.1 It is required to build a defensive area of provinces and cities that are comprehensive in terms of potential, forces and posture Requirements to build the potential of defense areas of provinces and cities to be strong in all aspects to meet the cause of national defense in the new situation; in which, building political - spiritual potential holds the fundamental position; building economic potential is a particularly important issue; building scientific-technological potential is the top content; building military potential is a regular and important task in the construction of defense areas of provinces and cities Building up the local armed forces with a reasonable structure suitable to their functions, the task is an important requirement in the construction of defense areas of provinces and cities in the new situation according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base The local army, organized according to the regulations of the Ministry of National Defense, is the main force in the construction and combat of the defensive area; the Border guard is a force in charge of managing and protecting sovereignty and territorial integrity, and maintaining security and order at national borders on land, at sea, on islands, and at border gates within the scope of their duties services prescribed by law; the Mobilized reserve force is a direct source of additional resources according to the requirements of national defense and security tasks; is a force ready to carry out the motto of all people fighting the enemy in the defensive area; Police of provinces and cities are the force performing the task of building and maintaining political security, social order, and safety in the defense zones of provinces and cities; Militia and self-defense forces are strategic forces in the defense areas of provinces and cities Building a comprehensive defensive position of the provinces and cities is a very important requirement in the formation of the defense posture of the country 19 Building strong and comprehensive communes and wards; building key defense areas at the provincial level; building a solid, comprehensive and synchronous military posture Along with that, building comprehensively and synchronously the elements constituting the military posture of the defensive area (Commanders at all levels, key defense areas, combat bases, logistical technical bases; rear bases, and combat structures ) 4.1.2.2 It is required that the construction of defensive areas in provinces and cities must be maintained inside and prevented from outside Staying firmly inside is to ensure political stability, social order, and safety, “the village keeps the village, the commune keeps the commune, the district keeps the district, the province keeps the province”; uphold national border sovereignty and national interests in each locality in all situations; creating a favorable environment, attracting foreign investment for socio-economic development, and accelerating industrialization and modernization of the country External prevention is the act of “holding water from when the water is not in danger”; preventing and defeating all plots and tricks of “peaceful evolution”, riots and subversion of hostile forces; not taking advantage of cooperation and investment in provinces and cities to oppose our country's revolution Keeping the inside and preventing the outside have a close relationship with each other in the process of building defense areas of provinces and cities If you want to stay strong on the inside, you have to be proactive and actively prevent the outside Struggling against plots and destructive actions of hostile forces towards the revolutionary cause of our country does not affect cooperation, investment, and business issues between our country and countries around the world 4.1.2.3 It is required to build a defensive area in the provinces and cities to prepare all resources, synergy ensures readiness to defeat the war of aggression, protect the locality, contributing to the defense of the Fatherland in all situations The construction of defense zones in provinces and cities must be carefully prepared and fully stocked with all resources, synergy ready to meet the needs of 20 the war against aggression; in which, preparing human resources for military operations in the defensive area is the center, strengthing of great national unity as the foundation and important military power This work must start from the defensive area of the provinces and cities; must be carried out regularly and planned in peacetime 4.2 SOLUTIONS FOR BUILDING DEFENSE ZONES OF PROVINCES AND CITIES IN A NEW SITUATION ACCORDING TO HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON A REVOLUTIONARY BASE 4.2.1 Propaganda and education to raise awareness about building defense zones in provinces and cities This is one of the important solutions to build a strong defensive area of the provinces and cities in the new situation Because, these key solutions directly affect the perception of the subjects who build the defense areas of provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology, but perception is the basis of action Therefore, the propaganda and education need to focus on the guidelines and lines of the Party, policies, and laws of the State on building defensive areas of provinces and cities in the new situation such as Resolution No 28-NQ/TW dated September 22, 2008, of the 10th Politburo on continuing to build defensive areas of provinces and cities in the new situation; Resolution No 28-NQ/TW of the XI Central Committee on “Strategy to defend the Fatherland in the new situation”…; on the Party's viewpoints and guidelines for the great national unity; Disseminate good experiences, creative and effective ways of localities in building defense areas and orient the awareness for the subject building the defense area of the provinces and cities about the plots and tricks of the enemy to oppose our country's revolution, 4.2.2 Build a solid “people's heart” in the defense areas of provinces and cities Building a “combat position” is a regular, comprehensive, and firmly guaranteed activity to create a political-spiritual foundation for the defense area, meeting the requirements of the task of protecting the Fatherland in the new situation The focus of this activity is to increase the will, and belief, raise 21 people's awareness of patriotism and solidarity; strengthen the leadership of the Party, direction, and administration of the State and uphold the role of mass organizations in gathering, uniting, and rallying the people; building and fostering people's feelings and responsibilities; at the same time, exploiting and promoting “people's hearts” and people's strength in building defense areas of provinces and cities; in particular, focus on building a “combat of the people's hearts” in key areas of national defense and security, deep-lying and remote areas, islands, and border areas, areas of ethnic minorities and areas of religious people face many difficulties Building a “people's position” in defense areas of provinces and cities should focus on: To build a “people's heart posture” in defense areas of provinces and cities to improve the material and spiritual life of the people; building a “people's position” in defense areas of provinces and cities to promote the roles and responsibilities of the Party committees, authorities and socio-political organizations; building a “people's posture” in defense areas of provinces and cities to step up the fight against corruption, wastefulness, and negativity in state agencies and society 4.2.3 Build the potential of the defensive area of the provinces and cities to be strong in all aspects This solution focuses on doing well the education and propaganda work in building the political and spiritual potentials of the defensive areas of the provinces and cities; concentrates on thoroughly solving several key economic issues of the provinces and cities to build up the economic potential of the defense area; to raise the scientific-technological potential of the defense areas of provinces and cities; Build a solid military potential, long term settlement The organizational process needs to be done synchronously, consistently and effectively 4.2.4 Closely combine construction and economic development, culture and society with strengthening national defense and security in the construction of defense areas of provinces and cities Economy, culture, society, and national defense and security are the factors constituting the strength of the defense area of provinces and cities Combining 22 these factors to create a force - a position - a time, forming a synergy that contributes to firmly defending the provinces and cities in all situations Building defense zones of provinces and cities strong in defense and security is a basic condition for economic, cultural, and social development; on the contrary, sustainable economic, cultural and social development is a solid foundation of defense and security in the defensive region The interrelationships and interactions between these factors require a close combination to create a synergy of provinces and cities in performing national defense and security tasks The combination of economy, culture, and society with consolidating and strengthening national defense and security in the defensive region must be strictly ensured right from the stage of strategic planning, planning and formulating projects on industrial parks, export processing zones, and local socio-economic development plans to meet the requirements of socio-economic development; preserving and developing community culture and building potentials, forces, and postures of the defensive area; ensure in "strategic areas, areas with special difficulties, borders, islands, key economic zones" and pay attention to investing in economic, cultural, and social development and strengthening national defense and security in border-gate areas, border areas, strategic areas, and areas with special difficulties; especially the key economic and defense communes in the defense area; it is necessary to complete the economic development strategy, culture and society associated with consolidating national defense and security in defensive areas as the basis for the economic, cultural, and social combination with national defense in the sea and island areas 23 CONCLUSION Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base, building a provinces and cities defense area and building a provinces and cities defense area is an issue that has received the attention of many scholars and scientists at home and abroad Up to now, many research works of scientific and practical value have been published An overview of the research situation related to the thesis topic shows that scholars and scientists approach the above problem from many different scientific perspectives, including political science and Ho Chi Minh study This is the premise for the author of the thesis to systematize the content and values of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on a revolutionary base and proposed solutions to build defensive areas of provinces and cities according to this thought of his in the new situation Ho Chi Minh's ideology on bases is a system of views on roles, conditions, and the content of building a comprehensive base in association with protection to create a foothold as a solid base and support to ensure the victory of armed insurrection and revolutionary war; in the content of building bases is comprehensive in terms of political, military, and economic aspects and the culture where “the masses support the people” is unique content in his thought about the Vietnamese revolution If you want to rebel against the enemy, you must have a base - “a place to stand as a base At that place… hoard food, ammunition”, “rest, exercise”; is the place to create the “offensive can fight, the defense can keep” posture for the armed forces; creating a springboard for revolutionary forces to launch attacks to seize power throughout the country by armed insurrection and revolutionary war Therefore, the place to build the base “must have a dangerous terrain to protect and support the masses” Ho Chi Minh's thought on bases became the theoretical foundation for building bases in Vietnam during the August Revolution of 1945 resistance wars against France and America, to save the country In the new situation, this thought of his continues to orient the construction of defense areas in provinces and cities to firmly defend the Fatherland in all situations 24 Building defense zones of provinces and cities is a correct policy of the Party to “defend the Fatherland from afar since the country is not in danger” From the perspective of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on bases, the process of building defense zones of provinces and cities has achieved many achievements in terms of politics, military, socioeconomic, science - technology; However, there still exist certain limitations in awareness, organization and construction quality in some areas in some localities The thesis points out the causes of achievements and shortcomings, and limitations in the construction of defensive areas in provinces and cities Based on studying that situation and forecasting the new situation is a practical basis for determining requirements, and proposing solutions to build defensive areas of provinces and cities in the new situation according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on bases The basic solutions of the proposed thesis are the results of theoretical research and the practice of building defensive areas of provinces and cities in the new situation according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology bases These solutions are a unified whole, having a dialectical relationship with each other; however, each solution focuses on thoroughly and effectively solving a specific aspect of the construction of defense zones in provinces and cities Therefore, provinces and cities need to flexibly and creatively apply the above solutions to local realities Building defense zones of provinces and cities according to Ho Chi Minh's ideology on bases is a new issue, necessary for the all-people and comprehensive national defense in the new situation Therefore, this issue needs to be studied by scientists in many different fields and disciplines in a basic and in-depth way The research results shown in the thesis are only the first step, the author looks forward to receiving the help and direction of scientists in and outside the military to perfect and improve the quality of research work both before and after publication LIST OF PUBLISHED WORKS OF THE AUTHOR RELATED TO THE THESIS Bui Hong Can (2017), “Similarities and differences in Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong's conceptions of revolutionary bases”, Theoretical Education of Journal, No 260, May, 2017, ISSN No 0868-3492, pp.17-23 Bui Hong Can (2017), “Ho Chi Minh's thought on revolutionary bases with the construction of the current national defense zone”, Theoretical Education of Journal, No 265, September, 2017, ISSN No 0868-3492, pp.8-12 Bui Hong Can (2020), “Ho Chi Minh's ideological values on bases for the Vietnamese revolution”, Ho Chi Minh Research Journal, Thematic issue - 2020, ISSN 2525-2550, pp.16- 21 Bui Hong Can (2021), “Buiding defense zones of provinces and cities according Ho Chi Minh ideology on revolutionary base”, Political Theory - Thematic issue - Mar, 2021, ISSN 2525-2593, tr.42-47 ... with the enemy 2.2.2 The value of Ho Chi Minh' s thought on the base 2.2.2.1 Theoretical value of Ho Chi Minh' s ideology on a revolutionary base Ho Chi Minh' s ideology on a revolutionary base raised... studies Ho Chi Minh' s ideology on a revolutionary base from 1941 to 1969;
