Murdoch's predicament is just a small fragment of Gu Kun's recent series of harvesting plans, and Gu Kun only used the time between breakfasts to make it clear with a few phone calls.

After breakfast, Gu Kun rang the bell, and then Shalanova came in.

Gu Kun took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and cleared his throat: "You send someone to search on the Internet to see if the news of the armed conflict in the East Malu Valley Islands and Aru Islands four or five days ago broke the news on the Internet." Not only online, TV media, paper news media, but also follow-up. ”

Shalanova nodded competently and remembered them one by one: "So, what happens after there are results? What should I do if there is no revelation, and what should I do if there is a revelation?"

Gu Kun thought for a moment: "If someone has already broken the news, then you can go to Qian Youliang, isn't he in charge of propaganda work, let him invest resources to help reprint and spread, and lure Indonesians to protest first."

If no one has broken the news so far, then we have to start with the fishing link ourselves, which is a little more troublesome. You can follow the 'Yonghua' to pick up and repatriate the freed slaves as a clue, and let our media resources hype up 'hundreds of Burmese/Cambodian abducted and sold fishing slaves, and suddenly get a large-scale rescue'. After this news broke out, of course, all kinds of media would swarm over and dig deep like mosquitoes. ”

Shalanova is still too tender after all, and in terms of the degree of old rivers and lakes, it is far inferior to the boss himself.

Gu Kun is well versed in the trick of slapping his face, and he knows that he can't just come up and announce that we have used force to make waves on the territory of the Indonesians. Even if it was to fight slavery and piracy, it would not have a good reputation.

However, let the news of the liberation of slaves break out first, and lure the media to "I think about it" first, the rhythm is completely different.

"I understand, I'll arrange it. Shalanova agreed.

……

After about half an hour, Gu Kun understood all the recent situation:

The Indonesians are really sluggish, and until now they have not heard of armed clashes on some wild islands on the eastern border that have no internet, telephone, or television.

Then Gu Kun will be easy to do, he can slowly wait for the news on the "Yonghua" to break out first, and then induce the Indonesians to find out, and then he will make a statement to refute it.

Because of the extreme speed of the destroyer "Yonghua", it was originally a few knots slower than that of the yacht "Zhu Sen". In addition, the final destination of the "Jusen" last night was Lanfang, and the "Yonghua" had to go to Sihanoukville Port in Cambodia and Pramburi Port in Thailand to repatriate freed slaves. (Slaves sold in Indonesia, mainly from Burmese and Cambodia)

Therefore, the voyage of the "Yonghua" was originally about 20 hours longer than that of the "Zhu Sen", and it could only arrive in Cambodia in the afternoon and Thailand in the evening.

The port of Prachuap is one of Thailand's narrowest ports on the Malay Peninsula, close to the Myanmar border, with easy access to Myanmar for direct customs clearance. Gu Kunrang sent people there to save time.

Myanmar's territory on the Malay Peninsula is located on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula, and the eastern coast is all Thai territory. Gu Kun didn't want his ship to turn to the Indian Ocean side through the Strait of Malacca for a land journey of more than ten kilometers or two thousand nautical miles, so he sent it to the nearest port in Thailand to Myanmar and sent it to Myanmar in a small purse car.

On the afternoon of the 15th, the relevant news really began to spread intensively and attracted attention from all walks of life.

The first to react, of course, was the Cambodian side, where the "Yonghua" was supposed to dock at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. However, because it is a ship of the newly established Lan Navy, it must be notified in advance and explain the reasons for innocent passage when entering Cambodia's territorial waters.

The Lanfang people also generously explained the reasons for the repatriation of the slaves. The relationship between Cambodia and China has always been good, and the "Yonghua" is a typical ship bought from China by friendly countries to China, and it will be able to get more convenience; the Cambodians ran the confirmation process a little bit, and sent a helicopter and two pilots and inspectors to board the ship to confirm, and the relevant news spread immediately.

"The destroyer 'Yonghua' affiliated to the Blue Navy arrived in Cambodia and returned the first batch of more than 400 rescued abducted and trafficked Cambodian citizens and black laborers. It is reported that this batch of black laborers was previously abducted and trafficked to some border islands in eastern Indonesia, where they worked as fishermen. ”

This news was urgently broadcast on Cambodian national television at 3 pm on the 15th.

Within an hour or two, the relevant foreign affairs departments of the neighboring countries reacted one after another.

……

"What? The Lanfang people dare to use force on our soil? Even if there are slaves, it is also our Indonesian internal affairs, and it is their business, and a small country dares to interfere with us?"

The person in charge of foreign affairs on the Indonesian side was furious almost immediately after receiving the news. As soon as they got the news, they convened a relatively high-level meeting, which was urgently attended by the responsible persons of each department in charge.

"Do you want to use the 7th Regiment stationed in Yamaguchiyang to wipe out the Lan side at once?" Of course, the person in charge of defense work is not afraid of a big problem, and he is eager to immediately provoke an armed conflict between countries, so as to ask for money, salary, and equipment.

Once force is used, can Congress not increase emergency budget allocations? That's all money.

Yamaguchiyo is an Indonesian port city in the westernmost part of Kalimantan, located at the westernmost point of the border between Indonesia and Malaysia on Kalimantan Island. There are several regiments of ground troops stationed there, which are usually used to defend the border with Malaysia.

And Lan Fang's force is so weak, and so rich. The army has only one company, and the royal guard and the civilian security company are each one company in size.

Although the navy is now claimed to be newly built, since the "Yonghua" has appeared in Cambodia and Thailand, far water does not quench the thirst of the near, how easy is it to take the opportunity to take the Lan side?

That's what those brainless force beasts think.

Fortunately, those engaged in foreign affairs were not so impulsive, and immediately condemned this statement: "Nonsense! What era is it now, and before the merits of the matter are clarified, can you resort to force at will? Are you trying to turn our country into Iraq?"

The causes and consequences of the slave trade must be clarified, otherwise even within ASEAN, there will be other victim countries supporting the Lantian side, and we will be very passive internationally!"

The head of the defense department snorted coldly and choked: "Then what do you say!"

Hmph, those doves and capitulationists who engage in foreign affairs! They are weak! How can there be toughness and strength from the hawks engaged in defense!

The person in charge of the foreign affairs department thought for a while: "Of course, it is necessary to condemn the main thing first, and find out what degree of force Gu Kun used to cross the border to attack the slave owners and what the fuse was." If Gu Kun does not have a reasonable fuse, it is not too late for us to consider using force to solve the problem. ”

Fortunately, in the end, the commander chose to support the foreign affairs department, and the Indonesians also divided their efforts, on the one hand, they sent a maritime patrol to the East Malu Valley Islands and other places to collect the situation and understand the losses, and on the other hand, the foreign affairs department first condemned and asked the Lantian side to explain.

……

Gu Kun was waiting for the other party to condemn him, so he reacted quickly, and during the evening news on the 15th, he made a public speech on Lanfang TV and stated the situation.

Lanfang TV has only been established in the past two years, and it has been tepid and has no programs before. It is also unlikely that this kind of TV station will rely on the ratings of the local resident population of Lanfang to make a profit.

It's just that the country has developed to this extent, and it is still a bit unreasonable to have no TV station of its own, so Gu Kun discussed it with the royal family, and made a profit to make a TV station to support the façade and show the dignity of the country.

The hardware facilities of Lanfang TV are still very good, and they also specially spent money to buy the satellite broadcast lease right of Huaxia, so that it can be watched by other Southeast Asian countries around it. It's just that because the reputation is not big, the current foreign ratings are almost negligible.

In a televised speech that night, Gu Kun disclosed the details of "legitimate defense" for the first time.

"Regarding the unreasonable accusations made by the Indonesian side, I hope that the relevant countries will first manage their own internal troubles. If a State is unable to guarantee the safety of international trade and navigation in its own territorial waters, can other innocent passing States not exercise the right of self-defence?

The current state of governance in the waters along Indonesia's eastern border is almost comparable to that of Somalia. All the actions of our navy are based on full international law and are indisputable in combating piracy.

In order to better clarify the facts, in the next two days, the relevant departments of our country will disclose specific evidence in a targeted manner, and will also hold a press conference to answer questions from all sides. ”

It is difficult to say too much about unilateral declarations, because there is no question and answer to the question. Moreover, Gu Kun is only a 'victim party', not a spokesman for the relevant departments of the Lan side, so more details are not suitable for him.

That night's program just released a keynote signal to stabilize the Indonesian Yankees, and by the way, the media from various countries reacted, and immediately sent people to the Lanzhou side to attend the press conference the next day.

However, just these statements have reduced the international pressure on the Lan side by more than half in an instant. Because Gu Kun has pointed out a key point: those Indonesians who have been attacked are not only slave owners, but also have the problem of occasional guest appearances as part-time pirates.

As long as it is piracy, the international community clearly allows foreign countries to fight back by force, and the escorts in Somalia will never be considered to be a violation of Somalia's ZHU rights. At this point, the Lan side has basically cleared up the possibility of being retaliated by force, and the rest is a war of words.

The next day, on the afternoon of October 16, the press conference of the foreign affairs department of the Lan side was officially held. The spokesperson who answered the question was none other than Lan Foreign Minister Tang Jia himself.

The preparations were very thorough, and even the rescued AFP reporters Pierre and Jeanne were arranged to appear at any time, and several representatives of the freed slaves would also serve as witnesses and be ready to be dispatched.

The Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Reuters, TASS, and Xinhua News Agency all had reporters based in Southeast Asia who rushed to Lanzhou overnight to attend the press conference. Indonesia's official media also came, and they looked like they wanted to get to the bottom of it and question it carefully.
