Kim Nàu Szì

Kim Nàu Szì (Dieuese: 金淖史; Pin'am: Kim Nàu Szì; June 16, 1926 - October 9, 2000) was a Dieuese military general and politician, who served as the Supreme Leader of the People's Republic of Daidieu from 1972 to 1979. Ideologically a Marxist-Leninist, he was a member (and the Chairman from 1965 to 1979) of the Dieuese Communist Party (CPD). Under his rule, Daidieu was a oppresive one-party communist state governed according to Kim Nàu Szì's interpretation of Marxism–Leninism, known as Kimnauszism.

Early life
Kim Nàu Szì was born in the small village of Tiên Hồ, in Shík Hài, Daidieu Protectorate,.

During World War II, Kim served in the French Army, and he was stationed in, and later. After the war ended, Kim stayed in Paris, with some of other Dieuese soldiers, some included Wong Thàng Jiệt (王成傑) and Trạ̀n Nhân Dức (陳仁德) (friends and future generals of the Dieuese armed forces) established the Daidieu Marxist League, where they studied and discussed Marx and Lenin. After visiting the Soviet Union and newly-formed Communist China, the Marxist League returned to Daidieu in 1950.

Rising military and political power
Kim joined the Dieuese Armed Forces, serving in the Dieuese Army, and quickly moved up the ranks. In 1964, with the lifting of the restrictions in politics, Dieuese Marxist League and some other communists created the Communist Party of Daidieu (CPD), and in 1965, Kim became the Chairman of the party. At this time, communism was on the rise in Daidieu as people were influenced by North Vietnam's victories in Vietnam.

Relations with Thàng Cang
In 1964, Thàng Cang became Emperor. His anti-communist and pro-South Vietnam policies made relations with Kim strained. The 1964 general elections was known for its vote-rigging. The CPD was projected to win, but Thang bribed several CPD officials (Kim later punished them), and rigged the votes, and the National Democratic Party won.

In 1968, CPD was defeated in the elections again. By this time communism was losing steam in Daidieu.

Plotting the coup d'etat
Kim decided that if he and his Party could not come to power legally, the best course of action was to do a coup d'etat and overthrow the democratic government. The political environment following the 1968 election was tense. Prime Minister Hwàng Hwě Jing ordered the detainment of suspected communists, which forced Kim to go into hiding. In addition, the government support for the quickly turned the popular opinion towards communism more favourable.

By 1971, the Second Indochina War had spilled into Daidieu.

Creation of the new government
Once in power, Kim introduced socialist policies to the Dieuese people. He decided that agriculture was very important to Daidieu, and so in early 1973, he forced all inhabitants from 12-20 to work in the fields instead of going to school, which made the literacy rate fall. Kim met with Ho Chi Minh and Mao Zedong in Hanoi in 1974. He also met Pol Pot in 1976, however, Kim said they didn't get along.
