Chapter 158 - Non-interference in internal affairs
"The Bonapartists are militarists, especially those who conspire to seize power in a military coup, relying on the state power of the warlords to mediate power between two rival classes that are evenly matched. The aristocratic regime, which came to power through a military coup d'Γ©tat, ensured social stability and achieved rapid economic development by restricting political freedom. This is what we are against, to make the political system of the country mature, the police and the soldiers, the internal forces and the army must be clear about each other's powers! Non-interference is the condition that a strong country must meet! β
"How does it feel?" Listening to the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs cadres educating the officials of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Serov triumphantly asked his deputy, Major General Korensky, apparently feeling good about finding a way to restrain the Indonesian Army.
"Will it be too blatant, and will the anti-Bonapartism as the guiding ideology of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cause protests from the Indonesian Army!" Major General Korensky felt that his young boss was doing things at a pace that was a little too fast, and if he was a general in the Indonesian Army, he would definitely not be able to accept it!
"What can those Indonesian generals do? Military coup? On what grounds? Serov asked indifferently, "Actually, we and President Sukarno both understand that this time the Soviet Union was able to intervene in the work of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs entirely because of each other's needs!" Sukarno clearly wanted to use the Soviet Union's reorganization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to create a counterweight to the ambitions of the Indonesian Army, not because he was pro-communist, and we were not internationalist fighters......"
"General Serov, are you here to inspect our work in Indonesia?" Indonesian Minister of Internal Affairs Shivatoni and Deputy Minister Handayani came together, apparently hearing that the head of the Soviet delegation came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and came to enhance the relationship with Serov, what is the relationship between the minister and the deputy minister Serov did not have time to explore, and the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs has just been reborn. It is still in a vulnerable period, and it is believed that it will remain united in the face of pressure from the Indonesian military.
Now the time has entered April, and the reorganization of the Indonesian Ministry of the Interior has faced the recruitment of people from the society, and it has been 15 days, which has caused a very big repercussion in the entire Indonesian society, and more than 20,000 people have been recruited. Although the Indonesian Internal Affairs Force, which is subordinate to the Ministry of the Interior, has not yet been formally established, the number of soldiers is no longer a problem! Although the restructuring of Indonesia's Ministry of Interior has only just begun, the trend of expansion is already emerging, and as ministers and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Interior, Shivatoni and Handayani are happy to see it happen.
"How dare we take the word check? There were only a hundred Soviet instructors, and I won't be long before I will return to the Soviet Union, and some of the rumors that have gone viral I don't know where they come from, but they do underestimate our strength, and if I brought a thousand people, I would really be worthy of this kind of madness of the father of the Indonesian police. It doesn't seem to be qualified at all now! Serov referred to some conspiracy theories about the Soviet delegation in Jakarta and refuted them in a joking manner.
"Actually, we all know where this kind of rhetoric comes from!" Handayani smiled and looked at his boss and said, "Except for those generals in the army who have run amok enough, who would spread this kind of remarks so boringly, even if they are blind, they know that there should be a professional police system to maintain law and order, instead of letting the military run rampant on the streets......"
"This rumor is not worth refuting, and I myself will not care!" Make a look of indifference, Serov and Major General Korensky. As the head of the Indonesian Ministry of Interior walked to a gazebo and sat down, sheltering from the scorching sun. "There is also the rank system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the command of the Internal Affairs Forces, I don't know what the two ministers have to say?"
"I've always heard that the Soviets have always had a unique way of redesigning this, otherwise they wouldn't have created a social system out of thin air to compete with the United States, so the two of us wanted to hear General Serov's opinion!" The Minister of Internal Affairs, Shivatoni, touched his already gray hair, and did not shy away from asking questions to Serov, who was much younger.
Serov and Major General Korensky looked at each other and smiled, and Major General Korensky said through an interpreter. "I discussed this issue with Comrade Deputy Chairman, but decided to leave it to you to solve it yourself, because if we in the USSR help you to design the administrative structure, especially when it comes to the command of the internal affairs forces, there is a suspicion of interference in internal affairs! First, this was not the intention of our USSR, and secondly, the sincerity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs itself touched the military. It's bad for your work! We are here to help stabilize social order in Indonesia, not to provoke you to fight with the military......"
Although the words are very hypocritical, they are sincere. Because this is Serov's idea, once an idea or departmental culture is established, it is much more useful than the ugly grasp of power, instead of grossly interfering in the reorganization of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs, teaching the truth, instead of firmly grasping the right to education, and infiltrating the anti-Bonapartist ideology into all aspects of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I believe that the old cadres of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs brought out this time can easily make Serov's plan take root in the hearts of these recruits. This is more useful than anything else, especially in the face of a country as conflicted as Indonesia!
As for whether the bosses of these departments are vying for power and profit after the expansion of the power of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs, this has nothing to do with him! Won't the Soviet Union take sides in this matter and not interfere in internal affairs? From the very beginning of the establishment of the Ministry of the Interior, it was already branded with the Soviet Union, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, armed with the ideology of anti-Bonapartism, was the enemy of the Army from the very beginning, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was pro-Soviet, the Army was pro-American, and the Indonesian Communist Party was pro-China, and this was a very stable triangular relationship!
As long as Sukarno dies and Indonesia changes its name, it will be a proper socialist power, becoming the forward position of the Soviet bloc to suppress Australia in the south, and protecting China's South China Sea, which will also greatly reduce the effect of the blockade of the first island chain.
Anyway, Indonesia is far away from the Soviet Union, and when the time comes, Serov will create public opinion in the Soviet Union, and he will have nothing to tout Indonesia again, saying that the island of New Guinea should all belong to Indonesia, and Malaya is part of Indonesia. There are many problems in Indonesia, and a careful search can make the relationship between Indonesia and the United States worse and worse.
"That's right, you Indonesia has to solve it yourself!" The fan in Serov's hand never stopped, and he said seemingly unintentionally, "How to build your question about the establishment of the internal affairs forces, but I can say a few words about combat effectiveness!" Our Soviet Internal Affairs Forces, like the Red Army, are part of the armed system, and there is nothing to say about who commands whom, and besides, the very existence of the Internal Affairs Forces is a counterbalance to the army, which is all open and there is nothing to say! If there is a war or armed conflict, we must find a way to let the internal affairs troops enter the battlefield and be trained, the number of internal affairs troops themselves is much smaller than that of the military, and the quality must be better to balance the unstable forces of the military! β
Minister of the Interior Shivatoni nodded thoughtfully, and looked at the newly recruited internal affairs fighters at the training ground, thinking about what opportunities there are for these fighters to exercise, in fact, there are really many opportunities, so many that there is no need to remind Serov that the Sukarno period is completely different from the pro-American Suharto, and the dream pursued by Sukarno is so big that it must be realized to annex Malaysia and at the same time take over nearly half of the territory of New Guinea occupied by Australia. This is the real Great Indonesianism, which may seem funny to later generations, but it is very marketable in this era.
Serov is a territorial dispute, he really wants to have another meeting occasion for himself to speak, and he will definitely snatch New Guinea from Australia in his mouth, as long as Indonesia is as far away from the capitalist camp as possible, he is willing to do anything.
"The internal affairs army has a quota of 50,000 people, organized into four divisions, and a unit directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs! I don't know if this part of the weapons will allow the Soviet side to help us solve it! Taking this opportunity, Shivatoni also expressed his thoughts, there are troops without equipment, and they must not use burning sticks to snatch part of the power of domestic order from the military.
"No problem, two freighters have already crossed the Suez Canal last week, and the weapons on them are enough to equip two normal divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first! I'm talking about light weapons......" Serov added without the Indonesian Minister of Internal Affairs being misunderstood, and then expressed his thoughts, "The troops directly under the two divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must not leave Jakarta, the capital is the most important place in your Indonesia, and if you want to participate in the battle, you can rotate into the battlefield!" When the time comes, you can send electricity to Moscow, and we will help you if we can! β
"Thank you so much Soviet friends!" Shivatoni grabbed Serov's hand and shook it vigorously, what kind of spirit is this, Soviet friends who came from Moscow thousands of miles away, helped them build the Ministry of Internal Affairs and stabilized the social order in Indonesia! They have not interfered with their own distribution of power, what a model among internationalist fighters.
"What is there to be thankful for? President Sukarno has good relations with the Soviet Union, so naturally we have to help Indonesia! Of course, this is all based on non-interference in internal affairs! Serov, who quickly interfered in Indonesia's internal affairs, said without any psychological pressure. (To be continued.) )
