Chapter 156: Sukarno Recognition
It was not only Sukarno who was happy, but Serov, an internationalist fighter, was not far less excited. What did he come to Indonesia from the Soviet Union for? Isn't it about letting the process of socialism in Indonesia continue? Now seeing the cheers of tens of thousands of people at the scene, Serov knows that this move to open the hearts of the people through Great Indonesianism is too right, the right thing cannot be right, and the impact will certainly not be limited to the stadium, and then it will become the talk of politicians on the street today, "Nothing is meant to be like this!" Sukarno was delighted by Serov's ignorance of not knowing anything, and Serov's unscrupulous words could have been an excuse for him to put pressure on Britain and the United States.
Is it really a mouthful? If you look closely at what Serov said, in fact, he fired a burst of empty cannons at the people, which seemed to be agitating, but in fact he didn't say anything! There is only one sentence that no one can limit the unity and unification of Indonesia, and when the time comes, Serov can completely clear it up after returning home, and the explanation for the country is an emotion of the Indonesians themselves, regardless of other things!
By this year, Serov had been awake in the Soviet Union for seven years, and that time was enough for him to learn the peculiar and muddy of socialism, to say the usual articles that seemed very lofty, but if you think about it, they said nothing.
But the Indonesians present didn't think so, they could completely think that Serov was saying this on behalf of the Soviet Union, and in the area where the Indonesian Army representatives were seated, several generals changed their faces, and they all looked at the Commander-in-Chief of the Indonesian Army, General Nasutian, who was the backbone of these people, and also the leader of their rejection of the generals of the Indonesian Communist Party, "General Nasutian, is this Soviet man speaking on behalf of himself or on behalf of the Soviet Union?" ”
"It should be himself!" In fact, Nasutian himself did not know, but in order to appease the army generals around him. He still showed a calm look, but he was also a little shocked when he looked at the tsunami-like cheers from the surrounding mountains. As the commander-in-chief of the Indonesian Army, Admiral Nasutian is the person who has the most contact with the American side, and he clearly knows that the United States will definitely be on the side of Malaysia, and it has always been the means of the British to support the small and contain the big one. The same goes for the Americans! What's more, there are so many communists in Indonesia, and the Americans will not let Indonesia occupy the whole of Southeast Asia.
Sukarno, who was increasingly dissatisfied with the army system because of the constant U.S.-backed rebellion in the army, instead began to use the Indonesian Communist Party to suppress the army, and now Serov has led the superpower of the socialist camp to appear here, as if things are getting more and more complicated.
After his speech at the stadium, Serov was given the honor of riding in a jeep with Indonesian President Sukarno, while the delegation of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs below received the news. President Soekarno will host a banquet at the presidential palace in the evening.
The Indonesian Presidential Palace is extravagant, in stark contrast to the average Jakarta house, the environment is tranquil, the presidential palace guards patrol around, close to the lake to dispel the heat throughout Indonesia, and in the evening when the sun begins to set, Sukarno has people light torches on the lake, and thousands of torches around the lake illuminate the lake.
Sukarno entertained the Soviet guests who came to Indonesia as a host. In the style of a great power leader, Sukarno is like this. These founding leaders all have this kind of self-confidence that appears at any time, but Sukarno's self-confidence is a little too high, and there is no difference between strong and weak countries in his eyes.
"I wonder if you regretted it at all when you were under house arrest by Suharto?" Serov drank the unknown drink in his mouth, looked at Sukarno's smile and thought to himself, "Hmm. Not bad! The taste was ok ......"
In view of Sukarno's relatively famous lascivious reputation, Serov put Isemotny and Lukani in the embassy this time. It's better for a woman who is too beautiful not to always come out and show her face! Compared with the cadres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs around Serov, Sukarno's side is much more colorful, and his three wives are all around. And it also revolves around a group of beauties! Sukarno was still quite complacent, and his smile had not been restrained since he hung it up.
At the end of a local Indonesian dance, Serov applauded at the right time, and under his leadership, the cadres of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs, who were expressionless and did not know what to do, followed him and clapped a burst of applause, which made these Indonesian girls not perform in vain.
"Vice chairman, Sukarno doesn't seem to have come to us to talk about things, is he just coming to us to watch singing and dancing?" Major General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Korensky, who was beside Serov, asked impatiently.
Korensky's experience in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was similar to Alexey's, but Alexey's luck was better, and he even mixed up with the head of the KGB's General Directorate, and Korensky's luck was much worse, and he was directly exiled to the GRU! Now the deputy head of the delegation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs led by Serov, the 50-year-old Korensky is the commander left by the Soviets to help Indonesia build a police system, if the plan goes well.
"That's how this president acts, we just have to wait and remember us, and watch before we do!" "Don't forget what we are, patience is part of our job!" ”
"These third world countries are always immersed in their own happiness like this!" Korensky muttered unsurprised.
"Such a country can become a pawn in our hands, and it is the kind that will not bite back!" Serov easily watched the next program, and from time to time continued to applaud the cadres of the Ministry of Internal Affairs! The main topic is bound to appear, it doesn't matter if it's a little earlier or later, as long as the final result is good, it's good.
When the singing and dancing had dispersed, that is, an hour later, President Sukarno, who was still unsatisfied, returned to the presidential palace, along with Serov and eight officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs behind him, and it was time to get down to business.
The two sides were cautiously looking for topics, at first they were just chatting, and finally President Sukarno asked, "Vice Chairman Serov, Khrushchev has just left our country, and he has made a deep impression on our country. ”
Here comes the point! Serov keenly grasped the change in the topic, and said with a serious look, "Warm people, comfortable climate, many Soviets may be very envious of the environment in Indonesia!" However, President Sukarno definitely didn't want to hear this, so I'll say some questions for your reference, Indonesia's law and order problem is very serious! There are legal blind spots in many areas, and the local people do not accept the jurisdiction of the government, but turn to religion and even the military for help, which is really bad! ”
"What's wrong?" Although President Sukarno is still smiling, he actually knows that now is the time to talk about the topic, he knows about Handayani's visit to the Soviet Union, and the changes after his return and his praise for the Soviet Union He also knows that as a president, although he does not have such obvious political groups as army generals and the Indonesian Communist Party, he also has his own channels!
By American standards, Sukarno was a man with a lot of dictator potential! Serov does not disagree with some of the views of the Americans, what they hate is double standards! Because the country that supports the most dictators is the Americans themselves, and at the same time, Americans can turn a blind eye to their own and accuse other countries of not being free enough! It's disgusting.
"The duties of the military are not clear, and the influence in society is too great! There are very hidden worries about a military coup! Serov leaned back in his chair with a very lazy temperament, but what he said was alarmist enough.
"General Serov, you seem to be exaggerating the situation!" Sukarno felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, maybe the other party was a little too straightforward, "Do you think I have no prestige in Indonesia?" Or do you think that the people hate me? ”
"I don't doubt your prestige, but the army is the army, and the people are the people! So far, as far as we can observe, the two forces in Indonesia are not pleasing to each other, and you have been in the middle to stop their confrontation! But this is dangerous, once the balance is broken, President Sukarno will not be able to play the role of balancer! Serov's face remained unchanged and he told what he had learned.
"Then why not the communists? Maybe you exaggerated the danger of the military because the Indonesian Communist Party has a good relationship with you! Sukarno threw out a counterattack unhurriedly, from what he had just said, he already understood that Serov's investigation of Indonesia was very thorough, so it was not appropriate to conceal it, but to lead Serov to Indonesia's purpose.
"What about the little Bolsheviks? They are missing a trait of a true Communist! Serov did not hesitate to comment at all, and at the same time cut off the Soviet Union and China, showing that the two countries are not exactly the same way, "The relationship between the Indonesian Communist Party and China is very good, but the relationship with our Soviet Union is only average!" Moreover, the Indonesian Communist Party is useless! ”
This is equivalent to clearly telling Sukarno that the relations between the Soviet Union and China are not as good as they appear to be, and there are contradictions, so that he can have a more honest dialogue with Sukarno.
Sukarno fell into a long silence, the news was enough for him to think about it for a while, and then said that he was tired and would continue to talk about it tomorrow! Serov took the cadres of the Soviet delegation to say goodbye and returned to the Soviet embassy to wait for news.
The next day, Serov went to the Indonesian presidential palace again, and Sukarno obviously did not continue to play a game of human interest, and directly got to the point with Serov, saying, "That's right, I don't trust the pro-American military, but I also have doubts about the Indonesian Communist Party, you want to confront the United States, I understand, I can agree to expand the ...... of the Ministry of Internal Affairs"
This is the result of Sukarno's thinking overnight, it seems that the Soviet Union clearly noticed the value of Indonesia, and at the same time discovered the intentions of the Americans and prepared to confront the United States!
Serov suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, he understood that this hurdle of Sukarno had passed, and the restlessness of the military made Sukarno determined to bring in the power of the USSR to counterbalance the army, which was surrounded by a strong pro-American atmosphere! (To be continued.) )
