Thử
Tìm Hiểu về 9 Bức Ảnh Tiȇu Biểu
của TVBQGVN
Trước
khi bước vào phần phục chế (restoration) một trong những bức
ảnh
đặc biệt này, chúng tôi (tôi) có nhận xét về:
1.Hai bức
ảnh Parade 3 và Parade 6
là hai bức ảnh có mặt
tiền cân xứng nhất của 2 doanh trại CD và GH. Hai bức ảnh này chụp
vào thời
gian trước năm 1970 vì không có Thư Viện. Thư viện được
xây dựng hoàn tất vào đầu năm 1970 trước Nhà Thí Nghiệm, và Nhà Thí Nghiệm (Ðào Thiện Yết) hoàn tất cuối năm 1970, trước mùa Văn Hóa 1971 vì khóa 24 thực tập Vật lý trong năm thứ 4 trước khi mãn khóa tháng 12/1971.
2.Ba bức
ảnh Parade 2, 3, 4 hoàn
toàn khác nhau, ít
nhất là
sự sai biệt thời gian chụp ảnh.
3.Bức
ảnh Parade 7 với 4 khối có đội
hình 12X5=60 hướng về cột cờ
Trung Ðoàn mà không
về Phạn xá. Toán diễn hành trȇn sân Trung đòan có thể là bốn đại
đi AB, EF
khoảng 240 SVSQ. Như vậy cả Trung đoàn SVSQ khoảng 500 SVSQ. Thời gian này có thể K16, K17 đã di chuyển sang TVBQGVN với khóa 18 sau mùa TKS.
4.Parade 8, 9 là 2 parades khác nhau mùa hè với quân phục kaki vàng. Nhưng hai ảnh được
chụp gần như tại cùng một điểm
đặt máy. Hai dãy doanh trại CD và GH không cân đối, ảnh chụp sớm
nhất mùa hè 1970 vì
đã có Thư Viện.

SOPHENG CHEANG
PHNOM
PENH, Cambodia (AP) — The United States expressed disappointment
Wednesday that Cambodia is tearing down a U.S.-funded building used for a
maritime security program, and voiced concern that the action may be
linked to the possible use of a Cambodian naval base by China’s
military.
“Such a military presence would negatively impact the
U.S.-Cambodia bilateral relationship and be disruptive and destabilizing
to the Indo-Pacific region,” the U.S. State Department said in a
statement distributed Wednesday by the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh.
Controversy
over the Ream Naval Base on the Gulf of Thailand erupted more than a
year ago, when The Wall Street Journal reported that an early draft of a
reputed agreement seen by U.S. officials would allow China 30-year use
of the base, where it would be able to post military personnel, store
weapons and berth warships.
The State Department said the U.S.
hopes Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen will accept Washington’s offer of
a dialogue to discuss how the United States “can support infrastructure
at Ream that would benefit an independent Cambodia and all nations
supportive of a free and open Indo-Pacific.”
Washington
and Beijing are contending for influence in Southeast Asia. China is
Cambodia’s closest political ally and main source of economic support,
through aid and investment. Relations between Cambodia and the United
States are rocky because of Washington’s criticisms of Hun Sen’s
government for being undemocratic.
Concerns about China’s
intentions for the area were heightened by a deal that gave a Chinese
company control over a large part of the coastline, and construction of
an airport on its land that appeared to be designed to accommodate
military as well as civilian aircraft.
Hun Sen in June last year
responded that China has not been given exclusive rights to use the
base, while also saying that warships from all nations, including the
United States, are welcome to dock there. He pointed out that Cambodia’s
Constitution does not allow foreign military bases to be established on
its soil.
However, the issue was resurrected last week with new
reports in Western media about satellite photos showing the demolished
facility.
Cambodia on Tuesday issued a statement saying that the
demolition of the 7-year-old Tactical Command Headquarters at the Ream
base and its relocation in a new building elsewhere was a planned
upgrade because the existing facility was too small and lacked docking
facilities, with limited capacity for training and other activities, It
said the new facility would involve no change in function or
relationships with foreign partners.
Hun Sen on Wednesday
addressed the controversy again. Speaking at a ceremony opening an
amusement park, he denied that Cambodia was allowing China to establish a
base on its territory. He said that to clarify the issue, he has
ordered the state television to rebroadcast, with English subtitles, his
speech last year denying that China was being allowed to set up a base.
He
also said he had ordered the Foreign Ministry to send an official
diplomatic note to all foreign embassies in Cambodia to let them know
his government’s position.

Cambodian PM says naval base not just for China
China
would not have exclusive access to a Cambodian naval base, Prime
Minister Hun Sen said Wednesday, despite Beijing chipping in for
upgrades after a US-funded facility was razed at the site last month.
The
Ream base is strategically located in the Gulf of Thailand, providing
ready access to the fiercely contested South China Sea -- a key global
shipping route.
Beijing claims the majority of the resource-rich sea -- vying with six other countries.
"Other
countries can also ask for permission to dock ships, re-fuel or hold
(joint) exercises with Cambodia," Hun Sen said in a speech at the
opening ceremony of a Chinese-owned theme park near the capital Phnom
Penh.
Satellite
images released by a Washington-based think tank last week showed a
US-funded tactical naval headquarters on Cambodia's southern coast had
been demolished.
An American embassy spokesman told AFP Wednesday
that the US was "disappointed" by the move, adding the base had been a
sign of US-Cambodia relations and was only seven years old.
"We
have concerns that razing the facility may be tied to plans for hosting
People's Republic of China military assets and personnel at Ream Naval
Base."
Such a military presence "would negatively impact the
US-Cambodia bilateral relationship and be disruptive and destabilizing
to the Indo-Pacific region," the spokesman warned.
The Wall Street Journal last year reported on a secret draft deal allowing China to dock warships at the Ream base.
The Cambodian government in June denied this and maintained its foreign policy was independent.
Cambodia
said the facility was simply being relocated about 30 kilometres (19
miles) north of Ream as it had outgrown the former site.
Hun Sen has repeatedly insisted Cambodia's constitution forbids any foreign military base within its borders.
In recent years, he has tilted away from the US after Washington's criticism of alleged abuses by his government.

Demolition of US-built facility at Southeast Asian base raises new fears about a secret Chinese military deal

A
US-built facility at Cambodia's Ream Naval Base was demolished in
September, according to satellite images published by the Center for
Strategic and International Studies.
The changes revive
concerns about a secret deal between Cambodia and China that would
permit Beijing to set up a military presence at the base, giving it a
strategically valuable vantage point.
Cambodia
demolished a US-built building at a naval base there last month, adding
to concerns about a secret deal allowing China's military to use the
base, even as Cambodia played down its actions.
Satellite images published by the Center for Strategic and International Studies
last week showed the building, the Tactical Headquarters of the
National Committee for Maritime Security, was torn down in September.
Another
US-built facility nearby, the Rigid-Hulled Inflatable Boat Ramp and
Boat Maintenance Facility, is still standing in the photos, taken on
October 1.
Tea Banh, Cambodia's deputy prime minister and defense minister, confirmed
the demolition but dismissed concerns. "We moved the facility to a new
location. We can no longer keep it, and the building is already old," he
told AFP on Sunday.

On Monday, Cambodia's government officially denied
suggestions that the demolition meant China would get basing rights.
Prime Minister Hun Sen said earlier this year that China had not been
given exclusive rights to use the base, and Cambodian officials have
repeatedly denied it, often calling it "fake news."
But the destruction revives concerns raised by a July 2019 Wall Street Journal report,
citing US officials, describing a secret pact between Cambodia and
China granting the latter access to the Ream Naval Base for decades,
permitting Beijing to station military personnel, store weapons, and
dock warships.
According to the report, China also agreed to build
two piers, one for it and one for Cambodia, though experts said
dredging would be needed for Chinese warships to use the facility.
On Saturday, the chief of Cambodia's navy general staff confirmed
that China was supporting a project to expand the port and build a ship
repair facility there. The plan included dredging to deepen waters
around the base, the officer told Nikkei Asia.
US officials learned of talks between China and Cambodia in 2018, prompting a letter
from Vice President Mike Pence expressing concern about a Chinese naval
base there. Concerns were piqued months later, when Cambodia suddenly
turned down a US offer to repair facilities at the base.
That decision "fuel[ed] speculation"
about "larger plans" for Ream "that involve hosting Chinese military
assets," Joseph Felter, US deputy assistant secretary of defense for
South and Southeast Asia, wrote at the time.
Work at Ream isn't
the only concern. The US and others have lobbied Cambodia not to let
China's military use a new airport being built by a Chinese company
about 40 miles northwest of Ream, a project that includes a seaport as
well as tourist infrastructure.
The company building the airport
has said it's for commercial use, but the runways are long enough for
Chinese military aircraft, including bombers. While announcing sanctions
against that Chinese firm, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said there
were "credible reports" that the facility could host the Chinese military.
Land reclamation underway at Ream Bay, August 22, 2020. CSIS Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative/Maxar
Images published by CSIS's Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative also
show land-reclamation work being done by a Chinese company 3 miles
north of Ream. The company has been doing the work since February and is
one of many Chinese firms that have leased large plots of land around
the base.
Cambodia's government also said in February that the
coastal area around Ream would be the site of a $16 billion tourist
resort area.
The dredging for that land reclamation began only
four days after the project was announced and may be related to port
infrastructure for that resort project, AMTI said,
adding that "with current facilities at Ream Naval Base only able to
host small patrol ships, any large port development nearby bears
watching."
Ream is near Sihanoukville, a focal point for Chinese investment. A Cambodian official said in February that the government wants it to develop it into a industrial and commercial hub "like Shenzhen" in China.
Beijing has provided support Cambodia's government even as other countries criticize its authoritarian record. US-Cambodia relations in particular have deteriorated in recent years.
While
it wouldn't give Beijing new power-projection capabilities in the South
China Sea, a presence there would allow China to "project power,
especially air power, over the Gulf of Thailand, Strait of Malacca, and
Andaman Sea in a way it couldn't before," Poling added.
Other countries, including the US, have similar capabilities in the
region, but the strategic implications of such a base worry Cambodia's
neighbors.
The Malacca Strait is a major transit point between the
Indian and Pacific oceans, including for the vast majority of China's
energy imports. It has grown in importance amid competition between
China and its neighbors, particularly India.
New
Delhi has beefed up its naval and air capabilities and sought to
improve its maritime awareness in the area, in part by boosting its
presence in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a valuable vantage point
near the Malacca Strait.
In late September, a US Navy P-8 Poseidon — considered the best sub-hunting plane in the world — landed at India's base there for refueling, a first for US aircraft under a US-India logistics agreement signed in 2016.
This story has been updated with Cambodia's official denial on Monday.
The military drills will take place at several firing ranges and airfields in southern Russia. The navy part of the drills in both the Black Sea and Caspian Sea will be joined by the Iranian navy, the ministry said. The defence ministry also said that the exercises will involve around 1,000 military personnel from Armenia, Belarus, China, Myanmar, and Pakistan. The exercises will be observed by representatives of other nations including Iran. Russia said the drills will involve around 80,000 personnel including Russian missile defense and navy units, as well as officers of the Russian Emergencies Ministry and the Russian Guard. According to the ministry, the drills will also feature up to 250 tanks, 450 military personnel carriers and 200 artillery systems.

Eyeing China, Pentagon plans larger, 'more lethal' navy
Projecting US power: the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, based in the western Pacific
Secretary of Defense Mark Esper announced
Wednesday an ambitious plan to expand the US Navy with a range of
unmanned and autonomous ships, submarines and aircraft to confront the
growing maritime challenge from China.
The Pentagon chief said a
sweeping review of US naval power dubbed "Future Forward" had laid out a
"game-changer" plan that would expand the US sea fleet to more than 355
ships, from the current 293.
The plan, which requires adding
tens of billions of dollars to the US Navy's budget between now and
2045, is aimed at maintaining superiority over Chinese naval forces,
seen as the primary threat to the United States.
"The future fleet
will be more balanced in its ability to deliver lethal effects from the
air, from the sea, and from under the sea," Esper said in a speech at
the Rand Corp. in California.
The
expansion will add "more and smaller" surface ships; more submarines;
surface and subsurface vessels that are optionally manned, unmanned and
autonomous; and a broad range of unmanned carrier-based aircraft.
The
plan is for a fleet of ships more able to survive a high-intensity
conflict, to project US power and presence, and to deliver precision
strikes at very long distances, he said.
An example, Esper added,
is a new guided missile frigate program, producing ships with "increased
lethality, survivability, capability and capacity to conduct
distributed warfare."
He also said trials were underway on the Sea
Hunter, a 132-feet (40 meters) trimaran drone that can autonomously
survey the seas for rival submarines for more than two months at a time.
"These
efforts are the next step in realizing our future fleet, one in which
unmanned systems perform a variety of warfighting functions, from
delivering lethal fire and laying mines, to conducting resupply or
surveilling the enemy," Esper said.
"This will be a major shift in how we will conduct naval warfare in the years and decades to come."
- Chinese navy larger -
Esper
reiterated that China is the top US security threat and that the
Indo-Pacific region is the "priority theater" for the US military.
"Not
only is this region important because it is a hub of global trade and
commerce, it is also the epicenter of great power competition with
China," he said.
A Pentagon report on the People's Liberation Army
released early this month said that Beijing has the world's largest
naval fleet with 350 ships and submarines.
Still, Esper stressed, the Chinese navy lags in strength and capability.
"Even if we stopped building new ships, it would take the PRC years to match our capability on the high seas."
Esper
said reaching the goal of 355 ships means the navy will have to grab a
larger percent of the Pentagon budget, but also that the United States
has to put more resources into expanding and modernizing shipyards,
where China has a clear advantage.

Japan lawmakers call for military drills with U.S. around disputed islets
A Chinese fisheries surveillance vessel cruises in the waters near Kuba
island, one of the disputed islands in the East China Sea, known as the
Senkaku isles in Japan, Diaoyu islands in China
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese lawmakers on
Thursday compiled a draft proposal urging the government to hold joint
military drills with the United States around a group of East China Sea
islands administered by Japan but claimed by China to fortify Tokyo's
control over them.
Japan's ties with China have been strained by
the long-running row over the uninhabited East China Sea islets, called
the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China.
"The Defence
Ministry should conduct joint drills with the United States around the
Nansei Islands chain including Kuba island and Taisho island," said the
proposal, drafted by a group of ruling party lawmakers.
Kuba and Taisho are part of what Japan calls the Senkaku islands.
Japan's
latest defence white paper, published in July, said China's maritime
and air forces have been stepping up their activities around the
islands, creating a situation that warrants deep concerns.
The
proposal, which also calls for allocating more money, ships and
personnel to the coastguard to bolster maritime law enforcement around
the islands, will be submitted to the government next week.

Indonesian patrol confronts Chinese ship in economic zone

economic rights and that are near the southernmost part of China's
disputed South China Sea claims. (Indonesian Maritime Security Agency

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — An Indonesian patrol ship confronted a
Chinese coast guard vessel that spent almost three days in waters where
Indonesia claims economic rights and are near the southernmost part of
China's disputed South China Sea claims.
The Indonesian Maritime
Security Agency said it detected Chinese ship 5204 entering Indonesia’s
exclusive economic zone in what Indonesia calls the North Natuna waters
on Friday night.
The agency sent a patrol ship that closed within a
kilometer (0.6 mile) of the Chinese coast guard vessel and they
communicated to affirm their position and their nation's claims to the
area, said Aan Kurnia, chief of the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency.
“We
asked them to move out as it was Indonesia’s EEZ. But they insisted
that it is China’s nine-dash- line territory. Our officers at the vessel
argued with them until they moved out," Kurnia said. He said he
reported the incident to Indonesian government ministers.
“The Chinese coast guard vessel finally left the North Natuna Sea on Monday at 11:20 a.m.,” he said.
Chinese
foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin indicated that China saw
nothing wrong with the ship's actions and said the two countries are in
contact over “relevant maritime issues."
“China’s rights and
interests in the relevant waters of the South China Sea are clear," Wang
said at a daily briefing on Tuesday. “As far as I know, Chinese coast
guard vessels have been performing normal patrols in the waters under
China’s jurisdiction."
China’s “nine-dash line” delineates its
claim to virtually the entire South China Sea. A 2016 international
arbitration ruling involving the Philippines invalidated most of China’s
sweeping claims in the sea, but China has ignored the ruling and called
it a sham.
Indonesia does not have a territorial claim to the
South China Sea, but a section of Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone
that includes natural gas fields lies within China's “nine-dash line."
Chinese ships have regularly entered the area Indonesia calls the North
Natuna Sea, causing tensions between the countries.
China has in the past explained its presence in those waters on the basis of “traditional fishing rights."
Chinese
ships also regularly patrol off the island of Borneo and near James
Shoal east of the Natuna islands, China’s southernmost territorial claim
which Malaysia says belongs to it.
The South China Sea accounts
for more than 10% of the global fish catch and surrounding states have
taken increasingly extreme measures to ensure they obtain their share.
Stocks have declined drastically amid overfishing and the destruction of
coral reefs, to the point that they may be on the verge of collapse,
according to some studies.
The Indonesian patrol ship KN Pulau
Nipah 321 has been deployed for such patrols in Indonesia’s western
maritime zone until November.
The Indonesian Foreign Affairs
Ministry has communicated to the Chinese Embassy in Jakarta to explain
the coast guard's presence, spokesperson Teuku Faizasyah said.
