Chapter 519: Kosygin's visit
Sukarno, for his part, took a confrontational approach and ordered the Indonesian Communist Party to mobilize the masses to build up a fifth militia reserve force in addition to the army, navy, air force, and internal affairs forces, showing his determination to resist the invasion. For a time www.biquge.info the whole world was shaken, and the Soviet Union, China, Poland, the GDR, Poland, Yugoslavia, Albania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Cuba and other countries issued voices of condemnation.
The Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union issued a strongly worded statement, warning the United States not to forget that you are not the only country in this world, and that in the event of an invasion, you will have to face not only Indonesia, a population of nearly 100 million, but also the forces of the entire socialist camp.
"Any invasion of Indonesia would be a shameful failure." Khrushchev's statement at the Congress of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR was immediately published in Pravda and became a topic of discussion in various countries.
"Yes, it's inevitable!" All the Soviet delegates present at the congress raised their hands in support of Khrushchev's words, and the entire hall sang the Internationale, like soldiers about to step into the battlefield.
The two camps continued to talk for more than a month, and finally refocused on the Vietnam battlefield, after all, no one would really be prepared to fight to the death because of Indonesia, but Indonesia's affairs made the United States' power to advocate intervention in Southeast Asia skyrocket, and the United States was strongly invited to go all out on the Vietnam battlefield to ensure the continued existence of South Vietnam.
"Members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, comrades, I have fulfilled my task of clearing all pro-Western forces from my sight, and now there is a question, how on earth will I return to my country safely? Wearing body armor every day is uncomfortable, especially when the weather in Jakarta is so hot, it is simply an ordeal. ”
On the telegram that appeared in front of the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, Serov's tone was full of helplessness, which made the Soviet rulers happy, but on the surface they still had to make a serious appearance and discuss the Indonesian question.
"By bringing Indonesia closer to the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and replenishing the manpower and raw materials that we and our allies need most, Yuri has achieved what may take years to achieve." Brezhnev thought for a moment and said, "The next step should be Comrade Kosygin's work and bring Indonesia into the system of the Economic and Mutual Council." ”
The Economic and Economic Cooperation Association is a political and economic cooperation organization composed of socialist countries organized by the Soviet Union. The Economic Mutual Association is an economic community equivalent to the socialist camp of the European Economic Community, with its headquarters in Moscow.
Under the control of the Soviet Union, the main purpose of the Economic Mutual Association was changed to the principle of "international division of labor," to practice "comprehensive economic cooperation" and "specialization and cooperation," and to vigorously promote "economic integration." It demanded that the economic plans of other member countries must be "coordinated" with those of the Soviet Union, and nearly 30 supranational "international cooperation organizations" and a number of bilateral and multilateral joint "joint companies" were established. The heads of the main organs of the Economic and Social Exchange were all Soviets, and the working language of the conference was Russian.
Last year, the Council passed a resolution to involve countries from all continents except Europe, and Sudan was the first to be considered after the successful coup, and now Indonesia is also in the eyes of the Central Presidium of the Soviet Union after the failed coup.
This is a very normal consideration, with the current relationship between Indonesia and the West, who can it develop with if it does not develop trade with the allies of the Soviet Union? Oh yes, and Japan. In the economic field, Japan is considered to be the least constrained by the United States, and the trade between Japan and Indonesia is also very strong, of course, considering that Sukarno's wife is Japanese.
However, Japan is a small country and its international influence is far from being comparable to that of the Soviet bloc, and its political and economic support for Indonesia is relatively limited. In this case, who Indonesia, which is hostile to Western countries, will choose, in fact, is not a conclusion that is difficult to speculate, but can only be the socialist camp.
It also marks Indonesia's de facto departure from the Non-Aligned Movement, which does not necessarily mean that Indonesia has withdrawn from that organization. In fact, didn't India withdraw either? Egypt has tens of thousands of military advisers to the Soviet Union, and does it not still claim to be the leader of the Arabs? So it's not a question of whether to quit or not.
"Indonesia's rubber can finally get our industry out of the bottleneck." Kosygin let out a sigh of relief. The Soviet Union's thirst for rubber began as early as the Stalin period, so much so that both Stalin and Khrushchev always communicated with China about rubber, but the key point was that there were not many places in China where rubber could be grown. Coupled with the fact that China is relatively strong, the Soviet Union has not been able to achieve its wishes, and the lack of rubber production has become a heart disease of the Soviet Union, and now this heart disease has finally been solved.
If you can use raw materials, who will use synthetic products? It's like being able to wear leather shoes, who wants to wear faux leather shoes. But the USSR had no choice, the USSR did not have tropical allies, and Cuba was too small to solve this problem. And now that this problem has been solved, the Soviet Union did not use Vietnam in history, because Vietnam has always been at war, and when it calms down, the Soviet Union is completely at a disadvantage.
With Indonesia's total population of more than 100 million, once it fully connects with the Soviet bloc, this benefit is simply unimaginable. Perhaps the entire countries of the Soviet bloc will benefit from Indonesia's accession in the next few years. An increase in the rate of economic growth by one or two percentage points is very likely.
In addition to the purge of Indonesia, Serov's job is to constantly manipulate rallies and public opinion to portray the United States as an enemy of Indonesia, and of course neighboring Australia is also an enemy, and as for the founder of Malaysia, Britain, it is naturally even more an enemy. Of course, the United States, Britain and Australia, while helping Sukarno consolidate his authority, must also help Indonesia to contain enough hatred. Of course, Britain and the United States have severed diplomatic relations with Indonesia, and they can't smash people's glass, so they can only grieve the Australian embassy.
"Britain is colonialism, the United States is imperialism, Australia is our enemy, and Malaysia is a traitor. Traitors to secession. Sukarno shouted at the Indonesian people who supported him, and Serov whistled at how wonderful the world was.
"In keeping with the spirit of democracy and 'Le Sobin' (revolution, socialism and leadership) that Indonesia has, I remind all Indonesians to implement the great leader Pongano (the Indonesian word for "pun" means brother or comrade, and Sukarno likes to be called Pungaro.) All teachings are their absolute responsibility. ”
At the same time, Sukarno sternly warned that there were people who wanted to impose their will on the president, and even finally interfered with the president's assistant team. Ministers can only be appointed by the President, and no one else can be interrogated. “
The chairman of the Provisional People's Consultative Assembly, Nasutian, who has been relieved of his post as defense minister, is presiding over the meeting and playing the role of a rubber stamp. Even if he is surrounded by former enemies, the location is still the Snayan Stadium between Jakarta and the suburbs of Ba Youlan, the place where Suharto died, I don't know if Sukarno's choice here has a special meaning of consolidating his position, anyway, Serov guesses that there must be this reason.
The sky is not beautiful, the sky is clear early in the morning, and the sun is shining. However, as the conference members, guests, observers, and journalists from around the world entered the stadium, a storm suddenly surged, dark clouds rolled in, lightning streaked through the sky, and thunder was heard, and torrential rain fell from the sky. Because of the rain, everyone was drenched like chickens in soup, and their hair was wet against their tired faces.
"The arrival of heavy rain is a sign that the filth of the world will be washed away, isn't it, President Nasutian." Serov did not carry an umbrella and did not let his subordinates ********, he felt that the rain was a good thing. There is a rainbow after the storm, and from today, Indonesia will turn a new chapter.
What did Serov see today? Sukarno was originally pro-communist, and the Indonesian leadership around him, except for the rubber stamp of Nasutian, was almost all **** figures, and nearly half of them were leaders of the Indonesian Communist Party. The top leadership is this kind of person, so what are you afraid of? The most dangerous enemy, the Army, has disappeared, and there is no longer a stumbling block in the country to continue to block the development of socialist forces.
The congress clarified the status of Sukarno, who may not have had such authority since Indonesia's independence. But Serov doesn't care, how many years will he live? This man was not much younger than Khrushchev.
A month later, the largest joint delegation ever arrived in Jakarta, led by Kosygin, the first deputy chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, but this delegation was not only the Soviet Union itself, but involved all the Soviet allies in Europe, Yugoslavia and Albania formed a separate delegation, and the three delegations arrived in Jakarta at the same time to prepare for comprehensive economic and military cooperation with Indonesia, this powerful lineup is also to deter the United States from dissatisfaction with Indonesia.
"Indonesian society has calmed down?" After getting off the plane, Kosygin, who was sitting in a car with Serov, asked with an inquiring look, "How many people have you purged?" ”
"Eighty or ninety thousand!" Serov replied very easily, he would definitely not say that more than 1.18 million people disappeared from Indonesia, otherwise Kosygin would have blown up. You must know that this number has exceeded the number of people shot in the Soviet Union in the thirties, and the number of people who really died in the Soviet Union was far from as imagined, and shooting was a shameful act of wasting labor, so the general gulag was the right way to deal with it.
