Chapter 157 Reorganization of the Ministry of the Interior

"We have no intention of interfering in Indonesia's internal affairs, as we all know, the world needs to be balanced! Where there were Americans, the USSR had to find a way to exist! Without hiding his joy, Serov still said with an indifferent expression, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs will be a backing for Mr. President to balance China and the United States, and for the current situation in Indonesia, we in the Soviet Union are beyond our reach!" How much of a role a ministry can play depends on how well President Sukarno protects this nascent department......"

The reason why Sukarno can be interested is not because of how wise Serov is, nor is it a genius speech and incorruptible tongue, but because Sukarno has clearly felt the mutual hatred of the Indonesian Communist Party and the Indonesian military, he is in the middle of balancing the two factions, and he really needs a department to deter the two factions, and at the same time to protect himself! He would not turn a blind eye to the successive rebellions of the army, and this visit by a delegation from the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs was actually in the hands of Sukarno.

In the beginning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs certainly did not have the ability to challenge either the Indonesian Army or the Indonesian Communist Party, and he needed Sukarno's protection, but over time, it is believed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will grow into a balance beam that balances the strength of both sides.

From the very beginning, Serov's analysis of Sukarno was very accurate, and the father of the Indonesian nation was anti-American, and no one would turn a blind eye to the masterminds behind several military coups, not to mention that Sukarno was also the president of Indonesia. But in the same way, Sukarno is not pro-China, it can be said that Indonesia has never had pro-China soil, this is normal, a large part of the population of one country is the main ethnic group of another big country, and no one can accept it! Sukarno has done his best to bridge the problem, at least more softly than his successor, Suharto.

Sukarno, who was anti-American and not pro-China, was very interested in socialist ideas because of his experience as a teenager, and it was not wrong not to be pro-Chinese, but Sukarno was pro-communist. In fact, this is already the best environment that China can get, because many members of the Indonesian Communist Party are Chinese, and the Indonesian Communist Party and the Indonesian Army do not like each other.

The original intention of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was to protect Sukarno for a long time. As long as Sukarno lives a few more years in his position, the longer the pro-communist Indonesian President Sukarno stays, the more likely Indonesia is to become a member of the Soviet camp. With the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Sukarno also has the ability to reconcile the two factions, and will not let the military act recklessly because of the army's force.

"To whose command did you Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs obey?" This is a key question, and Sukarno is curious to know.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are directly responsible to Comrade First Secretary, and the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR manages other departments!" Serov's answer satisfied Sukarno, it was simply tailor-made for him!

At noon, Sukarno left the Soviet delegation for lunch, and one can imagine how much concern he was for the construction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He wondered who the department listened to. Serov's answer is also very appetizing, whoever is the president will listen to whom, who is the president? Of course Sukarno himself!

"General Serov, it seems that you haven't gathered with your Indonesian comrades when you come to Indonesia!" The temptation continued, and Sukarno knew that the relationship between China and the Soviet Union was somewhat delicate, and that the relationship between the Indonesian Communist Party and China was very good. So to say it to stimulate Serov is nerves.

Sure enough, Serov's face changed but immediately returned to normal, Serov, who could sense the other party's emotions, was like cheating when he spoke, knowing what to say and what not to say! The answer was still right for Sukarno. "The Indonesian Communist Party? After all, it is our comrades, and we will meet with our Indonesian comrades before leaving! ”

This is tantamount to telling Sukarno obviously. The Soviet Union and China were competing in this regard and did not want to see China expand its influence, an answer that Sukarno appreciated! The Soviet Union and China working together was not something he wanted to see, and although he was pro-communist, he also hoped that Indonesia would have a variety of options.

"There are many Communist ministers in our government, do you want me to arrange a banquet for you Soviet and Indonesian comrades to meet?" Sukarno was not like Serov who had Messing's guidance. Feeling unsure, he proposed again.

"There is a chance that President Sukarno can arrange it this way, but just let it be!" At the end of the trial, this answer was acceptable to Sukarno, and this brief answer made Sukarno sure of one thing, that there seemed to be some dirt between the Soviet Union and China.

Out of the presidential palace. Serov, who had played a psychological game with the Indonesian president for a day, could be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief, but thanks to the intelligence support of the KGB, he understood the characteristics of his negotiators, and firmly grasped the anti-American, pro-communist, and most importantly Sukarno's inner needs, that is, the desire to establish a strong department that obeyed him, and achieved his goal.

Without the help of the military rebellion that the United States has been instigating for two years, Sukarno would not have agreed to Serov's proposal so easily, without the incompatible relationship between the Indonesian Communist Party and the Indonesian Army, Sukarno would not seriously consider introducing the Soviet Union to balance the power, as for whether the Soviet Union would join forces with China, Sukarno also had doubts in his heart, but in the end he figured it out, he is the father of Indonesia and has unparalleled prestige! No one can take his place among the Indonesian people, on the contrary, the pro-American Indonesian army generals seem to be more dangerous, and the more than 300,000 army soldiers seem more realistically threatening.

It's not how powerful Serov is, but the constant rebellions made Sukarno understand that bringing in direct opponents of the United States might make the army system a little more stable, Serov wanted Soviet forces to come in, and Sukarno thought so too! Anyway, he is pro-communist, but the father of the nation of Indonesia, and the Soviet Navy is beyond the reach of the whip, and once he finds out that something is wrong, he can completely purge the Ministry of Internal Affairs before the Soviet Union reacts.

"Indonesian Communist Party, Ah ......" Serov, who was in a jeep, staggered back to the Soviet Embassy, constantly recalling this party that would be a history for a long time in his mind, and few people knew that the Indonesian Communist Party had a huge power in Indonesia, let alone that the Indonesian Communist Party had officially more than 3.2 million members and nearly 30 million supporters in the country a year before its collapse, and there was no doubt that it was the largest party in Indonesia! An important supporter of Soekarno! In addition to the Soviet Union, China, and Indonesia, the Communist Party surpassed the old parties such as the Italian Communist Party and the French Communist Party in Western Europe, and was the third largest Communist Party in the world and the largest Communist Party in non-socialist countries.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I become, it's a pity! It was completely wiped out by Suharto within a year, and the speed of the collapse of the Indonesian Communist Party is simply unbelievable, just like Serov said, the Communist Party idealism in some countries is too strong, and when the butcher's knife has been waved, the eyes are as if they are blind and cannot see the danger! Do you really think that your opponent will reason with you?

In fact, Serov could have guaranteed that the Indonesian Communist Party would not be destroyed without Sukarno, as long as the Indonesian Communist Party fully listened to his words, these cadres of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs could be used by the Indonesian Communist Party to help the Indonesian Communist Party train a paramilitary force and counter-espionage at the same time. However, the Indonesian Communist Party is pro-China and not pro-Soviet, and Serov rashly intervenes in the future, so it is better to save the country and put the treasure on Sukarno's body.

Sukarno was pro-communist, the CIA instigated a military coup, Sukarno was anti-American and more pro-communist, and at the same time helped the Indonesian Communist Party gain more influence to support itself! It was a very good cycle for the Soviet Union, but in history Sukarno got out of play, and now by reorganizing the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is equivalent to giving Sukarno a body armor to ensure that he continues to play!

"If you want to talk about the collapse of the Indonesian Communist Party, there seems to be another side effect, that is, China and the Soviet Union have torn up another wave of coercion because of whose responsibility it is! It seems that China has suffered in this polemic! Serov, who returned to the embassy, moved his neck tiredly, made a rattling sound, and said helplessly, "I saved another million people, where did I kill them?" ”

The next day, Serov, who was in high spirits, got up and gathered all the Soviet internal affairs cadres, rode into the building of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs in a convoy, and met the Indonesian Minister of Internal Affairs, whose name was Shivatony! Although the name was awkward, Serov extended his hand and expressed his friendship to Shivatoni, who had received an order from Sukarno to have the Soviet advisers help reorganize the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he welcomed Serov.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is vital to national security!" Serov nodded to Minister Shivatoni and Deputy Minister Handayani, and then immediately said, "Our initial goal is to let the Ministry of the Interior establish a network of police systems throughout Indonesia, and at the same time establish an internal affairs force to deal with domestic security issues, the military is specifically responsible for defending the country, separating the space for the military to intervene at home and abroad, the first step, the Ministry of the Interior must be expanded, and immediately recruit personnel from the society for training, and the Ministry of the Interior has preliminarily decided that the number of internal affairs troops will be 50,000, All military equipment was supplied by the USSR! ”

Serov confronted Minister Shivatoni and Deputy Minister Handayani and launched a huge plan for the reorganization of the Indonesian Ministry of the Interior, which was on March 20, 1960! After communicating with Shivatoni and Handayani, Serov devised 30 questions as criteria for recruiting students from the society, including what to think of the Soviet Union and the United States.

Political stance, nationalism, how to view religion, how to evaluate President Sukarno, 20 questions answered correctly as qualified, 25 questions and marked as excellent answers, to ensure that people with strong religion and pro-American people are screened out in the first round. The Ministry of Internal Affairs planned to recruit people for one month, and at the same time Serov asked Major General Korensky to prepare anti-Bonapartist teaching materials and distribute them to all members of the Soviet advisory group.

On the streets of Jakarta, the Ministry of Home Affairs set up loudspeakers and placed huge advertisements in more than a dozen key neighborhoods to signal to all Jakarta citizens that they were going to recruit police officers. (To be continued.) )
