The answer to the question: What was the full name of the person who declined Khiem's invitation? is inside the article: At the start of September 1964, General Lam Van Phat was dismissed as Interior Minister, while General Duong Van uc was about to be removed as IV Corps commander. Both were removed partly due to pressure from Buddhist activists, who accused Khanh of accommodating too many Catholic Diem supporters in leadership positions. Diem had tried to use the loyalist Phat to help thwart the November 1963 coup, but the rebels managed to sideline Diem's general and execute the president. Disgruntled by their demotions, Phat and uc launched a coup attempt before dawn on September 13, having recruited ten army battalions. They gained the support of Colonel Ly Tong Ba, the head of the 7th Division's armored section, and Colonel Duong Hieu Nghia, a tank commander who had been one of Diem's assassins. It appeared at this stage that the coup was supported by Catholic and ai Viet elements. Another member of the conspiracy was Colonel Pham Ngoc Thao, who while a Catholic, was a communist spy trying to maximize infighting at every possible opportunity.uc and Phat's plot was supported during the planning phase by Defense Minister and triumvirate member Khiem. General Huynh Van Cao, a Catholic and Diem loyalist while the former president was alive, claimed in a 1972 newspaper interview that Khiemby then prime ministerhad asked him to join the coup. Cao said he had declined Khiem's invitation, mildly mocking him by asking "You're part of the 'Troika' now ... won't you be overthrowing yourself?" Cao said he had pointed out that political upheaval in Saigon would be a bad idea because Vietnam was prominent during the ongoing US presidential election campaign and negative publicity could lead to a decrease in American public and political support for South Vietnam., can you guess it ?
Answer:
General Huynh Van Cao
