During the war against the US, the existence of the numberless trains and the Ho Chi Minh route at sea, classified as top secret, very few people really know the existence of these legends. Ho Chi Minh Road on the sea – as its name implies – is the sea way we used to support the South, starting to be established on October 23, 1961. During the course of its existence, the Ho Chi Minh road on the sea with the air trains, carried out 2000 transports, supported weapons to the South, as well as sent our high-ranking officials to the South or the North. . The origin of the name “Zero Ships” comes in part from the secrecy of these transport ships, as they are not numbered, unnamed, and often disguised as fishing boats. To bypass the enemy’s eyes, the officers and soldiers on the airship are also trained to become professional fishermen, with all the skills of seafaring such as fishermen, speaking like fishermen and especially drying. sunny to have black skin like a real fisherman. And yet, the numberless ships at that time were also meticulously disguised with two bottoms, one bottom for storing weapons, the other for storing fish, like real ships. When out at sea, digital ships are not allowed to transmit home communications, but only to receive encrypted communications from the North, which is a mandatory requirement to ensure the confidentiality of the location of the the train has no numbers. The only cases where the trains without numbers were allowed to contact home was when they encountered the enemy and had to fight. At this time, the communication channel will be opened for the brave soldiers on the ship to say goodbye to their homeland. Unlike the Ho Chi Minh road through the Truong Son range, the Ho Chi Minh road on the sea can be considered “high productivity” when carrying many tens of tons of goods at the same time as close to Saigon. The General Military Commission allowed 50% of the cargo for the Ho Chi Minh route at sea to be lost. Which means that our goal, just to get 50% of the goods to the destination, is also considered to be successful. Exceeding this expectation, our digital trains have delivered 93% of the cargo to their destination, many times transported high-ranking officers to the North to the South or vice versa, the level of safety is very high, but at times short, usually only a week for one way travel – much faster than the road. So, if you consider Ho Chi Minh Road on land as a legend, with Ho Chi Minh Road on the sea, it deserves to be considered a great symbol, not only in terms of scale, contribution to the war, but also. still great because of its utopian secrecy.
