The communications equipment of the Indonesian Internal Affairs Forces was provided by the KGB of the Soviet Union. This was recognized by Sukarno in order to balance the power of the army, and the Soviet Union was two completely different systems in terms www.biquge.info of army building ideas, weapons and equipment, electronic equipment, and the United States. Although the U.S. military may be more advanced, it does not mean that the Soviet Union does not have something of its own. The Soviet Union's communications equipment looked rather rustic, but in fact it was more widely used than the U.S. military's. Just like Serov said, the US military's mode of war is only suitable for its own country, and other countries will go bankrupt if they use it, and even the oil hegemons of later generations cannot afford to use it.

"Who said that the internal affairs troops cannot fight? We in the USSR will be able to! Antonov laughed at Handayani.

Handayani's phone call was sent to the troops of the Ministry of Interior in the Jakarta capital, and the internal affairs forces, who had been around Jakarta, listened to the order and took out the weapons they had stockpiled earlier from the warehouses informed by their superiors. They had heard on the radio about the clash between the Air Force and the Army. At this time, the whole capital was already full of rumors of a coup d'état, and it was not known what had happened to the presidential guard corps and the army, all kinds of rumors were all over the streets, and the people of every country did not lack the desire to spread gossip.

People are cautious to stay in their homes and do not dare to walk on the streets. Army soldiers were patrolling the streets, but ordinary people didn't know which side was in the upper hand.

"To the extent that we can get in touch, try to find out as much as possible about the loyalty of all the armed forces in Jakarta. Secondly, I ordered all the troops loyal to me to be ready for battle, and forbade them to leave the barracks. I hope to avoid bloodshed with an army that has just been led astray by some irresponsible people. I tried to persuade as many rebels as possible to cooperate with us. That's it for now! "Suharto gave orders to his subordinates at his headquarters.

One of the most pressing problems that Suharto had to deal with was the two battalions of troops on Independence Square opposite the Army's Strategic Command. Their reversal was important, as these two battalions were ordered to protect the great revolutionary leader Sukarno. They had been transferred from the 454th Battalion of Central Java and the 530th Battalion of East Java to participate in the planned Army Day parade, and they had been inspected by Suharto the previous day and showed no signs of being unreliable.

"I'm going to talk to them personally, and if I can't get along, I'm going to attack them directly. Immediately assemble our troops and prepare them for battle. "Suharto, after receiving support from the Ministry of the Interior, felt that he had let go of all his worries, but he did not know that the Minister of the Interior was no longer able to express support for him.

After thinking about it for a while, Suharto still felt that he should think carefully, and when the army top brass had already been wiped out, it was necessary to mobilize troops from other provinces and let the communications troops talk to General Idris in Medan, North Sumatra.

"General Idlis, we must restore order to this country, and I think you should immediately stop attacking Malaysia, bring your troops back to the capital, and work with me to free the country from the turmoil." Suharto hoped that the generals on this front line would show support for his actions.

Sukarno was awakened from his sleep by the rapid ringing of the telephone, and he pressed the lamp on the bedside with one hand, and left Mrs. Devi, who was beside him, to answer the phone, and he received the first report of the attack on the residence of General Nasutian and Minister Lemena in the city. When he asked if he could return to the Independence Palace, the guards at Madame Devi's house answered in the affirmative, and Sukarno set off with a handful of guards. On the way to the Independence Palace, when he arrived near the Indonesia Hotel, the president received a wireless call from Colonel Sailan, a security officer, asking the president not to enter the Independence Palace.

At this time in the Kremlin, the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee, including the first secretary Khrushchev, the second secretary Brezhnev, Kosygin, Shelepin, and Suslov, convened a meeting with some tired fatigue.

"It is reported that in Jakarta time, late at night on September 26, a coup d'état occurred in Indonesia, and several generals of the Indonesian Army have been controlled, but according to our intelligence officers in Jakarta, Suharto, commander of the Indonesian Army's Strategic Reserve, has begun to gather troops and begin to counterattack, I know this person, this person is also pro-American, it can be said that once he succeeds, Indonesia is likely to have a pro-US military government, and the Indonesian Communist Party will be wiped out." After Serov arrived at the Kremlin, he hurriedly informed the Central Presidium of the latest news.

Brezhnev's already heavy eyebrows were tightly condensed, and his face was full of solemnity, "This is not good news, once there is a military junta in Indonesia, there is a high probability that the situation you said will appear." ”

"How to stop them!" Khrushchev muttered to himself, and instantly stared at Serov and shouted, "Yuri, you should be prepared, now the country needs you!" ”

Serov had warned the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union a few months earlier that the situation of the Indonesian Communist Party was very dangerous and that there was a risk of a military coup in the Indonesian Army. This forecast made a deep impression on all members of the Presidium of the Central Committee.

"The country will not put its hopes on me in vain, and I have basically sorted out the context. I have contacted the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Indonesia, the department that I set up with my own hands back then, will not leave no news channels at all, and now I can be sure that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be on our side! Serov replied with an indifferent face, "This time I want to take this opportunity to destroy all the pro-American soil in Indonesia, and I hope that the central government will give me support." ”

The anger on Serov's face was obvious, this kind of gnashing hatred made everyone look sideways, Shelepin's pupils shrank, he was the person who knew Serov best, when he was the chairman of the KGB, Serov showed several purge views in this regard, and the other commissioners thought that Serov was just going to purge the army, and he knew that his subordinates were ready to play a big game.

But at this time, the situation was already very urgent, and Sherepin hesitated for a moment and did not make a sound, but sat aside silently.

"What kind of support you want, the central government will give it, as long as you can make the coup d'état in Indonesia fail, whatever you do, the central presidium will support you. Go for it, Yuri. Suslov took off his glasses and said slowly as he wiped them, "It doesn't matter what the process is, it's the result that matters." ”

"I understand, I will go to Indonesia in person, I have arranged for people to prepare for boarding to Indonesia, and then I will go myself, and when I come back, the pro-American forces in Indonesia will no longer exist." Serov stretched out his palm and reassured.

After the meeting, Khrushchev summoned Serov alone and asked, "Little one, how sure are you?" ”

"Half, huh?" Serov muttered to himself with some uncertainty, lit a cigarette and said, "Old man, I am not in the country during this time, but there is no one to protect you." You have to be careful, if something happens, I believe that the Rubyanka can be trusted, and I am not there to help you deal with those disgruntled cadres. ”

"Am I good to overturn? These cadres are afraid of me! When Khrushchev said this, he suddenly said, "But you don't seem to be afraid of me very much, you must know that I am the first secretary, and I can remove you from your post with a word." ”

"It's normal for people to lose their temper a little when they're old, and of course the first secretary also has this right! But that's not a reason for me to be afraid, I feel completely communicative. Serov took off half of the cigarette from the corner of Khrushchev's mouth and threw it away, and said lightly, "You're almost seventy years old, pay more attention to your body." ”

"He's really not afraid of me?" A peculiar expression appeared on Khrushchev's face, watching the back of this small cadre slowly disappear, and anyone who dared to talk to himself like this, he forgot when it was last seen. Is it Kozlov? It's a pity for him, otherwise there would not have been something wrong with Podgorny.

At the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia, Jakarta, Ambassador Jones's expression was very ugly when he first learned that the main generals of the army had been kidnapped, but when he learned that Suharto had begun to assemble troops to fight back, his frowning brows relaxed, and after immediately contacting Suharto, he began to report the news to Washington, "The army has been devastated, and it is not in line with our earlier plan, but Suharto, the commander of the strategic reserve of the Indonesian army, is still a good candidate." He has already mobilized troops, more than the coup d'étatists, and I have heard that there are already front-line troops ready to return to Jakarta, and then we can deal a devastating blow to the Indonesian Communist Party, completely deal with the most powerful communist party in Southeast Asia, and will not give them a chance to become the Communist Party of Vietnam. ”

When Sukarno was at the house of Mrs. Hayati, he received more information: the kidnapping of the general, the serious wounding of General Nasutian's daughter, and the flight of Nasutian, Sukarno listened to these reports and said that these events were too sudden for him and then he asked Colonel Sailan: "What do you think I should do?"

Sailan did not answer immediately. Suharto then ordered Major Subato to contact the Command Palace of the Navy, Air Force, and Police Forces. It was at this time that the Deputy Minister of the Interior, Handayani, arrived, along with the commander of the Air Force, Omar? Dani, Omar? Dani persuaded Sukarno to go to Halim Air Base, where it was safest.

"Can the Air Force withstand the tide of the Army? Do you put bayonets on the plane? The safest place now is our Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we are willing to fight until the last moment for the president. Crush the Army's conspiracy. "Handayaani's words made Air Force Commander Omar? Dani didn't know whether to be happy or angry, happy that Handayani was on his side, angry that it seemed that he had been plucked.
