Challenge: Vietnamese Civil War, Round Three

Have the former South Vietnam stage an uprising and re-establish itself after 1975. In 1990 there was an interview with Nguyen Van Thieu discussing it in Time, he said that Hanoi would negotiate and that regionalism still showed there, even among the military. Of course, he also disclaimed reclaiming his old post.
 
On a related subject, how long do you give Thieu if somehow SVN survives? Will he become a Lee Kuan Yew, or Ferdinand Marcos circa 1983 in a three-star uniform?
