Chapter 153: Attack on All Fronts?
"Understood, Comrade Vice-President!" After a neat answer, Serov nodded approvingly, with the assistance of these internal affairs cadres, this Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is tailored for the Indonesian Army, will definitely play the role of a balancer.
If Serov succeeds in obtaining permission from the Ministry of the Interior, I believe that the Ministry of the Interior, which has been hostile to the Indonesian Army since its establishment, will definitely keep an eye on the Indonesian Army.
"Is America rich? Lao Tzu has no money, but he can kill people with doctrine! Serov gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.
As long as Bonapartism takes root in Indonesia and becomes the main criterion affecting the Ministry of the Interior, as long as the Ministry of the Interior expands, the more dangerous the heads of the generals of the Indonesian Army will be, and one doctrine will be enough to withstand tens of millions of dollars in military aid from the United States every year.
As long as the military system and the police system separate domestic responsibilities, given the political environment of a country like Indonesia, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who have been in contact with Sukarno for a long time will gain more power, although it is only a paramilitary force, but if the battlefield is confined to a city in Jakarta, even if it is a face-to-face battle with the army, it will not be left behind, and it will be a piece of cake to defend President Sukarno from being suddenly killed.
According to Serov's speculation, although Sukarno has no talent in construction, as long as his great prestige remains, he should be foolproof with the protection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he will be fine if he is not suddenly killed! China has already contributed its own strength to the development of the Indonesian Communist Party, and Indonesia itself was relatively close to communism, and what Serov is doing now is to put a layer of insurance on this good development environment.
In the evening, when the temperature dropped a little, Serov and Handayani met, of course, on a formal occasion, in a very formal tone. He did not politely point out the poor security environment in Indonesia and the huge problem of overlapping responsibilities between police and soldiers, "Maybe Indonesian friends don't want to listen, but I still have to say it!" Are police officers in Indonesia also called police? A well-functioning society needs a police system to maintain, but now Indonesia's Ministry of Interior can't do that, to put it mildly. Ordinary police can't even deal with street hooligans, and they still talk about maintaining national order? There is no order in the country, public order is bad, and there are no basic conditions for development, let alone economic construction, and good public order is the foundation of all development! ”
Generally speaking, Serov criticizes their country with the attitude of a foreigner, which is very suspicious of interfering in internal affairs, and at a greater extent, it has a very imperialist style. But the officials of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs brought by Handayani were all officials with the same goals as him, and they hoped that the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs would have the authority of the KGB of the Soviet Union, and if not, it would be acceptable to become the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, so there was no objection at all.
Handayani stood up very sincerely, saying that the Soviet friends were right, and expressed their approval of Serov's words. "We in Indonesia are a big country and have the responsibility of a big country! We need to build the country well. First of all, we must start with the issue of public security, our homeland is not well built, how can we liberate the compatriots who are still colonized by the British? Therefore, we cannot hide the problems existing in Indonesia, for which I am personally very grateful to General Serov for his pertinent evaluation, we want to make Indonesia's social stability, first of all, we must start with the problem of public security! ”
Handayani's words provoked a round of applause. After listening to the translator's words, Serov understood that these Indonesians should be applauded for two points, one is that they hope that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will become a real department of real power, at least as authoritative as the Soviet ministry! As for the other reason, Serov almost forgot about it. In Moscow, he discovered that Handayani was a great Indonesianist.
This is much easier to do, there should be many people who think this way within Indonesian officials during the Sukarno period, not the situation where Suharto was suppressed after he came to power, and it is completely possible to start with this! Serov was silent for a moment, and said with a serious expression, "It turns out that our Indonesian friends still remember their compatriots who were colonized by the British? I thought you had forgotten? Since you still remember them, you should understand that Indonesia must be made strong in order to liberate the Malaysian region occupied by the British, otherwise everything will be in the air, right? ”
For Great Indonesianism, he, a Soviet, immediately expressed his sympathetic support and sincere attitude like a great internationalist fighter who traveled thousands of miles to help the Indonesians! Anyway, Britain is not a vegetarian, and it is impossible for the tired Indonesians to snatch Malaysia under British control, let alone the British, and even the Netherlands, which is still in Southeast Asia, the Indonesians are not even. Just because Indonesia can't settle down, Serov has to jump out and put on a show, arching the fire with the attitude of watching the excitement and not thinking it's a big deal, anyway, why not burn himself?
When the time comes, Serov will return to the USSR after lighting the fire, and it will definitely not be himself who has a headache! There are British people who have headaches, Australians who are uncomfortable, Dutch people who are worried, and Americans who are in a dilemma. The Soviet Union and China could well applaud their support for Indonesia's defiance of imperialism, which was a good thing at all.
This statement immediately aroused the applause of the officials of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs on the other side, in their opinion, Serov made a statement completely on behalf of the Soviet Union, but Serov knew that he could only represent individuals, and if Indonesia had to misunderstand, he would not say anything! At the very least, it can give these Indonesians a lot of courage, and using great Indonesianism to knock on the goodwill of these Indonesian officials can improve the goodwill of both sides a lot.
The nationalism supported by Sukarno can also become Serov's stepping stone to Indonesia, which may not be possible for other countries to do, China can't go to sea, France is trapped in Algeria, and Britain occupies Malaya, which itself is the enemy of Indonesian nationalists, and the United States is very embarrassed in a specific position, not to mention that the United States' infiltration of the Indonesian Army itself is stirring Sukarno's nerves, but the United States is too strong Sukarno is not good to tear his face, because of the army's rebellion two years ago, Sukarno's speeches from last year were noticeably more pro-Soviet camp, and the slogans of US imperialism often appeared in his mouth.
"General Serov is right, compatriots, we must not forget about Malaya, which is occupied by British imperialism, and the British and American empires want to curb the momentum of Indonesia becoming a great power by letting it do so, and we cannot give up liberating Malaya!" Handayani turned his head to the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs behind him and said, "Now it is clear that British and American imperialism wear a pair of pants, and with the help of our Soviet friends, sooner or later we will be able to drive these imperialists out of Southeast Asia......"
These agitative remarks are quite marketable, at least the group of people in front of them nodded frequently, deeply agreeing with Handayani's words, as if the Soviet Union really supported them! Serov must be silent about this beautiful misunderstanding! If Indonesia is captured, the United States will be able to fight the Vietnam War in vain, and then Australia will be the front line of the United States, and the pressure in the Asia-Pacific region will increase greatly, and Indonesia, with a population of nearly 100 million, will become a hostile country, which can fundamentally narrow the population gap between the two camps!
Of course, it is still too far to think about this, but at least at the beginning of contact with one of the small forces of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs, it has shown a good start, and Serov has not forgotten his purpose, which is to defend the growth of communist forces in Indonesia, to carry out offensive defense, as long as he does not make mistakes, Indonesia will become a socialist country is almost a sure thing.
"General Serov, I have already inquired about President Sukarno's itinerary for you, Mr. President has been busy these days! It seems that the final approval of the acceptance of Soviet aid is also the result of your first secretary, Mr. Khrushchev, and I believe that in a few days the president will be able to receive you! Handayani shook Serov's hand vigorously, perhaps in response to Serov Malaya's gesture of thanks, or for some other reason.
"Helping the newly independent countries to get rid of the bullying of imperialism and build their own countries is itself what the Soviet Union has always done, and forty years ago the Soviet Union was just founded and faced with the Allied forces, and we know better than anyone how abominable imperialism is! What I just said is indeed what I have in mind! "Compared to hypocrisy, Serov is not lagging behind anyone! At least in the Soviet Union, he is stronger than those dogmatic guys, and what is even more terrifying is that he has learned the official rhetoric of the Soviet Union in the past few years, and has begun to use it more proficiently!
With a heavy expression, Serov said solemnly, "Your enemies in Indonesia are very strong, and British imperialism and the US imperialism behind it want to curb the development momentum of Indonesia through the independence of Malaya, and your struggle is still very arduous!" Do you know what the nickname of the UK is in Europe? ”
"What's it called?" Handayani asked with interest.
The "European-stirring stick...... casually fastened the basin firmly on the heads of the United States and the United Kingdom, Serov laughed and mocked the gentlemen on the island, who wouldn't spread rumors? And in Indonesia, the idea of this Anglo-American conspiracy to curb Indonesia from becoming a great power is itself very marketable, and Serov is just trying to spread this conspiracy theory.
This official meeting was quickly transmitted to the US Embassy in Jakarta, and then the transnational Pacific was sent to the headquarters of the US Central Intelligence Agency. After carefully reading the telegram, Dulles began to analyze the recent actions of the Soviet Union, "Form a military advisory group to intervene in the Algerian civil war, and then lead a delegation to visit Indonesia yourself?" And the action of Vietnam? Which was the direction of the Soviet Union's war offensive? Attack on all fronts? There is also a Chinese ......: "The more I think about it, the more irritated Dulles becomes, I can't wait to go directly to Indonesia to find Serov and ask for clarification." (To be continued.) )
