A little know pipeline out of China into Laos was the Black River.....as was the Red River. Lots of supplies came down that black river.

Stay Safe !

This looks like an interesting find:

Salan Strikes At Giap's Supply Lines

I have to say that the Frenchmen in the Directors Cut of Apocalypse now really stirred a sense of comraderie with the French families who had gone to southeast Asia to start businesses and pursue natural resources that were not being used by the natives.

I see a reference to the Red and Black rivers in this timeline of unknown provenance.
