The essence of modern society and feudal society is the difference between identity and contract.

In the feudal society of the family dynasty, identity was the main way for people to obtain privileges. Identity has become the fundamental criterion for determining people's status, rights, and obligations. Identity has become a watershed between people, the general source of differences between people, and identity is equated with power and authority. And to obtain this status, first of all, it is a question of who is responsible and to whom is allegiance!

In modern society, the contract relies on the efforts of each party to freely compete, set its own rights, fulfill its obligations, and assume its own responsibilities. The parties act according to the contract, and are only responsible for their own promises, obligations, and responsibilities, and are no longer responsible for and loyal to a specific person.

Susilo was trained in American-style democratic and liberal ideas, but the education she received from an early age was still deep-rooted. He understood President Subibi's hint that someone had to take responsibility for the riots, and that person was behind the riots - Lieutenant General Prabowo, the son-in-law of former President Suharto and the commander of the Indonesian Army's Strategic Reserve Force!

Subibi, who implied him, was also very contradictory, and if he wanted to move Prabowo, he had to convince Suharto, otherwise no one would have the prestige to suppress the military forces. After thirty years of military dictatorship, Indonesia's army has become Suharto's private army, and only his orders are obeyed from top to bottom.

Prabowo has to face moral and ethical issues, Subi is a close friend of Suharto, and he also pulled it up, if his son-in-law is moved, what will the military and officials think? Indonesia is a dictatorship that has not yet evolved into a modern society, and if Subibi forcibly deals with Prabowo regardless of human feelings, regardless of the military's backlash, he will not be able to really move. In terms of prestige and public opinion alone, it is a great threat to his rule!

There was silence in the president's office, and the cigar in Subibi's hand curled with green smoke, and Susilo was distressed.

He understood what the president meant, and he just wanted him to divide and disintegrate the former president's forces in the military, so that they could take the initiative to push out the culprits, but is this possible? If President Suharto had died, maybe it would still be possible, but if people stayed in the hospital in good manners, and those generals dared to disobey his hints? Those colleagues in general's uniforms were all pulled by Suharto, and they would betray the people who promoted them?

Seeing Susilo distressed, Subi sighed in his heart, a high-ranking general like him who had received a Western education was still like this, and those officers who had degenerated into bureaucrats were even more hopeless.

After a period of silence, President Subi opened the drawer, took out the appointment letter that had been prepared earlier, and said in a deep voice: "General Susilo, I appoint you as the commander of the Internal Guard Force and the commander of the Jakarta Military Region, with full responsibility for the security of the capital and the presidential palace. ”

"Yes", Susilo reflexively stood up and saluted, took the appointment letter with both hands, and immediately went to take office.

The new president's personnel adjustments to the military have been carried out smoothly, which is also the proper meaning of a dictatorial society. However, on the same day, Susilo took up the post of commander of the internal guard unit and commander of the capital military district, and he made a large-scale personnel adjustment with lightning speed, and placed his subordinates in various key departments, and those officers who were adjusted did not react excessively.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although Indonesia does not have this common saying, the truth is the same, and no one in power will put his safety in the hands of people he does not trust.

Subbibi, who had just received the perfect and British ambassador, was already very tired, but he still called Su Luosi, who had just taken office, "Su Luosi, how is the reaction of the troops?" ”

"Report to Your Excellency the President, a qiēshun lì!"

Subi has a bottom in his heart, and the 30 years of peace have made the military accustomed to following the rules and sticking to the old ways, and no longer has the vigilance of the turbulent years. In this way, as long as the hostage incident is resolved, we can continue to adjust the personnel of the army. Subbibi, who had found out the truth of the military, immediately called Prabowo, dismissed him from his post as commander of the reserve forces, and ordered him to immediately go to the front line in East Timor as commander-in-chief. When it was over, Subbibi also reminded him 'kindly' that he should go to the hospital to see his father-in-law more often after official business.

……

The next day, the good news finally came. Guangzai persuaded the guerrilla leaders to agree to cooperate with President Subibi to put on a play, but only if the ambassadors of the five executive council members went to the parliament to witness the negotiations and vote. The reason is very simple, although those five countries are also hooligans, they will still save face and will not collude with the government to harm them.

After some consultations, President Subbibi finally came to the square outside the presidential palace with more than a dozen surviving parliamentarians and several ambassadors under the watchful eyes of hundreds of domestic and international news media and tens of thousands of ordinary people.

Today's weather is bad and cloudy, but the square in front of the presidential palace is crowded with many Indonesians, hoping that a strong man will lead them out of this disaster!

"Please observe three minutes of silence in memory of our fallen compatriots."

Standing on the podium, President Subibi, who looked solemn, observed a three-minute silence for the victims of the turmoil, wiped tears from his eyes and spoke out in front of the public for the first time.

"In the past five days, our beautiful Indonesia has suffered a terrible upheaval. Here, we strongly condemn the forces behind this catastrophe and swear in the name of Allah that our government will investigate to the end and give the whole people the truth!

Three days ago, the rebels in East Timor and Aceh captured the Capitol, which is a shame for us in Indonesia! I swear in the name of Allah that I will bring those rebels to court! ”

Boom, the reporters are stunned, will those militants still lay down their arms and surrender under your incorruptible tongue?

Subbibi paused and continued, "In ten minutes, I will go to the Capitol to negotiate with the rebels. I don't know how it will end, but as the President of the Republic of Indonesia, I will have to face it.

General Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono! ”

Sussiluo, dressed in military uniform, saluted and said loudly: "Here!" ”

"I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the congressional battle, and if we don't come out within forty-eight hours, it will be a breakdown of negotiations! I order: you immediately command the troops to attack! The dignity of the country and the sanctity of the law cannot be trampled on! We can fail, but we can't accept shame! If someone wants to impose shame on us, we must wash it away with blood! ”

"Yes!"

Subbibi, dressed in formal attire, took the tray from the attendant's hand, turned around and solemnly handed the president's seal to Wahid, and said loudly: "Your Excellency Abdul Rahman Wahid, I appoint you as the interim president of the Republic of Indonesia. If I die in the battle of the Reichstag, please lead the whole nation to continue our great cause! ”

Wahid, who was over the age of six, bowed deeply, took the tray with the national seal with both hands, and said loudly: "Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Allah, if you die in Congress, no one will be able to live the rebels! ”

There was silence at the scene, only the sound of flashing lights, and the diminutive Subi was like a giant at this moment. The honor and disgrace of the country and the sanctity of the law have always been the mantras of politicians, but what president dares to call out terrorists in this way, and which head of state dares to negotiate under the guns of terrorists? If this weren't in broad daylight and in full view, everyone in the audience would think they were watching Hong Kong's hero films!

"Thank you!"

Subbibi choked up and hugged Wahid, then turned and stepped off the podium, got into the bulletproof Mercedes car that had been prepared, and led the surviving dozen lawmakers to the Capitol. It was only after a few minutes that the crowd began to cheer.

"Long live Subbibi!"

"Long live Indonesia!"
