Chapter 513: How much Brooke gives, I Indonesia doubles!
Do you think the founding ceremony was an enthronement ceremony?
Wrong, the enthronement ceremony is a Malay surrender!
If Malay does not bow its head, the Kingdom of Brooke will not be considered a success.
Joining the United Nations was a simple matter, and the day after the Malay surrender, Ahmad Zaidi signed a military base lease agreement with the United States on behalf of the Brooke Kingdom.
The Brooke Kingdom leased two large plots of land to the U.S. military for $1 per year for 100 years.
Gratis?
Inexistent!
As soon as the agreement between the two sides was signed, it immediately caused an uproar in Southeast Asia, and everyone protested in secret.
Otherwise, do you have any dissatisfaction with the United States by protesting on the surface?
The north didn't jump out to oppose this, and they didn't dare to do it, like the Philippines, they could only scold the Brooke Kingdom for being too fucking rolled, the rent was 1 dollar, you can think of it, shameless!
The Philippines suffered heavy losses.
As soon as the announcement was made, the Philippine peso fell rapidly in the currency market, and the U.S. military's Subic military base provided more than 5% of the Philippines' GDP.
Three days after the contract was signed, the United States directly pushed for the United Nations to convene a conference to admit the reborn Brooke Kingdom to the United Nations.
Everyone knows that this is a sure thing.
At the conference, after walking around the process, just when the delegates thought it would be over soon, Charles Brooke stood up and presented the map to the conference, and when he got up, he took a deep look at the Indonesian delegates not far away, and the other party smiled at him.
Naturally, there is no way to display paper maps here, and the electronic version is printed on the wall.
One representative is drowsy, but the Indonesian representative is staring wide-eyed, the two countries are adjacent to each other, so it is natural to pay attention to the map issue.
It didn't matter what he saw, he stood up in shock, pointed at the electronic screen and shouted: "This is impossible, you are crazy, the Lenai Islands belong to us in Indonesia!" β
The originally dazed crowd at the venue was awakened by this voice, and when they looked up, they saw the Indonesian representative jumping like thunder.
Good guys, there's a good show to watch!
Everyone looked meaningfully at Charles Brooke and then at the Americans, and felt that things were not simple.
This Brooke Kingdom is worthy of the support of the United States, and it can really do things.
Charles looked very calm in the face of questioning, and said in a calm tone: "After the establishment of the country in 1841, Natuna Island belonged to the territory of the Brooke Dynasty. β
"You, I ......," the Indonesian representative was momentarily speechless.
Historically, no one cared about that small island, and there were not many other islands in Southeast Asia, but there were countless islands, and there was no clear division at all in ancient times.
Historically, the Chinese who lived on Natuna Island for the most time should have existed in the Tang and Song dynasties, fishermen, pirates, and maritime merchants.
After entering the Age of Discovery, it entered the sight of the Dutch, Spaniards, and British because of its special geographical location, but the most people on the island during this period were still Chinese.
With a minimum of population, it can provide all the needs of sea vessels to and from the port.
During this period, Natuna Island was clearly owned by the mud, and most of the mud land was taken away by the Brooke dynasty, so Sean would pay attention to Natuna.
"Does the United Nations have a demarcation of Natuna Island?" Charles Brooke stopped talking to the Indonesian representative and turned his gaze to the UN Secretary-General.
"There is no clear attribution, this is disputed territory." The UN Secretary-General said with a blank face.
"Soon it won't be." Charles Brooke smiled meaningfully.
There were people who clearly opposed this map, the representative of the United States did not say it, the British were equally silent, people from other countries naturally did not jump out and say anything, and the dispute was put on hold for the time being.
Putting it on hold means waiting until you decide the winner.
The next item of the General Assembly went smoothly, and the Kingdom of Brooke became a member of the United Nations.
But as soon as the conference was over, the Indonesian delegate got up angrily and walked out first, and he wanted to go back immediately to inform Suharto.
β¦β¦
Suharto, listening to the name alone only feels impressive, but if you want to say that it is the Indonesian poison vegetable and the initiator of the 98 big picture killing, everyone will remember it deeply.
Suharto joined the Royal Dutch and Indian Army in June 1940, served as a staff officer of the headquarters of the Patriotic Army in 45 years, successively served as regiment commander, division commander and commander of the military region in 59 years, and concurrently served as deputy commander of the Mandara Garrison Command in January 65, and a confidant of founding President Sukarno.
In 1965, he staged a military coup to overthrow Indonesia's founding president, Sukarno, and later served as commander of the Operational Command for the Restoration of Law and Order, deputy prime minister for national defense and security affairs and army commander in March 1966, and acting president in '67.
Suharto's resignation was not because of a big attempt to kill, but because the economy did not do well, and it is clear that trying to kill is not a big deal.
At this time, Suharto, at the peak of Indonesia's power, was really a man of his word, looking at the world, expanding a little, and in Southeast Asia, he was also the most beautiful boy.
After receiving a call from his subordinates and hearing that the Brooke Kingdom had turned Natuna Island into their place, Suharto suddenly dropped the phone in anger!
In Suharto's view, the land of Indonesia belongs to their Haji family, and the Brook Kingdom is moving the property of their Haji family.
It's been years since no one challenged the majesty of their Haji family!
Without hesitation, Suharto immediately ordered the Foreign Affairs Agency to hold a press conference, emphasizing that Natuna Island belongs to Indonesia and is an inseparable part of Indonesia, and at the same time asked people to call the Kingdom of Brooke to lodge a strong protest and demand that the Kingdom of Brooke immediately make clarifications and concessions.
In order to de facto occupy Natuna Island, Suharto forcibly relocated more than 20,000 Indonesians to the island and relocated most of the Chinese on the island.
Natuna Island is not only an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers, but also a marine area that it radiates.
Later generations in the north recognized Natuna as part of Indonesia, but did not recognize its 200-nautical-mile economic circle, which coincided with the boundary drawn to the north.
What a big profit!
Therefore, in addition to diplomatic means, Suharto immediately ordered the Indonesian Navy to send a detachment to the north to prepare to garrison Natuna Island, and at the same time sent 2,000 garrisons.
He wants to keep the island by military means!
After the order, sitting alone in the office, Suharto still felt a little unsure, now the Brooke Kingdom is hooking up with the Americans, not only renting two pieces of land for free to the Americans as a military base, but also hiring an umbrella company, he doesn't even want to face, he has to prevent the Americans from pulling the shelf!
American: You spread rumors, it's not free at all, it's rental!
Of course, Suharto himself was a lackey of the Americans, and Indonesia's founding president, Sukarno, supported the red and had a good relationship with the north, so the United States supported Suharto's coup d'Γ©tat and overthrew Sukarno.
After Suharto's coup d'Γ©tat in 65, in order to show a complete break with the red world, he launched an anti-communist campaign, which was also the largest anti-Chinese campaign in history, which lasted for two years and slaughtered more than 300,000 Indonesian Chinese.
This was a 'trivial matter' back then, and it didn't cause any waves.
Getting back to business, Suharto was ready to call the President of the United States to communicate.
The phone call between the presidents of the two countries is a very formal matter, first it requires communication with the diplomatic department, then an agreed time, and finally a phone call.
Even the internal softness of communication has to be carefully worded through the secretariat.
The matter dragged on for two days, and there was still half an hour before the official call, and Suharto attached great importance to it, as if he was looking at the words designed by the secretaries in his hand, so that he would not make a mistake for a while.
On the other side, in the white house, Lao Bu is also preparing, but this side is much more casual, there is a young man sitting in the office besides him, and Sean is chatting with Lao Bu while drinking coffee.
Knowing the meaning of Suharto's call, Lao Bu notified Sean as soon as possible, Sean didn't expect Suharto to think of finding an American dad so soon, and considered whether to say hello to Suharto when he called.
Suharto must have been pleasantly surprised to hear his voice, definitely!
Half an hour passed, the phone rang voluntarily, and Suharto came up to say hello and greet according to the script, emphasizing the friendship between the two countries and emphasizing that Indonesia has been following in the footsteps of the world's largest country.
Lao Bu also hummed back, he was more casual, and there was no script at all.
Rory was dumbfounded, Sean was annoyed to hear it, and suddenly interjected: "The matter of Natuna Island, can't you just say no, doesn't this delay things?" β
Suharto was startled by the sudden voice, and the phone in his hand almost didn't get out.
Lao Bu was also stunned, holding his forehead with his hand, speechless.
It took Suharto a long time to react, this is a special phone call between the presidents of the two countries, very formal, how can someone interject and be so polite?
Obviously, the Americans don't think so.
"Who are you?" Suharto asked cautiously.
"Ahem, I don't mean anything else, I just feel like it's a waste of time to see you two talking on the phone for so long and still not getting to the point." Sean coughed lightly, "I'm Sean, it's okay, you can continue to talk." β
Suharto's little eyes kept blinking, and the word Sean kept echoing in his mind, and the whole person was not good.
He called in the hope that the Americans would not pull the shelf, good guys, now the boss of the umbrella appears next to Bush......
What did he say behind this?
How did he know what the relationship between Sean and Bush was!
So, what now?
For a while, Suharto was completely gone.
"I, this, um......" Suharto stumbled a few words, in the end, he was a figure who killed the president of a country from the slums, forcibly calmed the waves in his heart and said: "What does the United States think about the ownership of Natuna Island?" β
"The United States has always adhered to a fair and open attitude, and it is more likely that the two sides of your dispute will communicate, negotiate and resolve the dispute through peaceful negotiations." Bush said diplomatically: "The United States will not support either side in this process, and of course, this is if neither of you has any influence on other countries and peoples." β
Suharto smashed it, smashed it, he knew that Sean had appeared, and it was the maximum that he could fight for this.
After a few more words, Suharto hung up, and Suharto frowned.
Peace talks?
If it was a separate Brooke Kingdom, it would definitely come through peace talks.
But if Sean intervenes......
Sean what style of conduct, the leaders of Southeast Asian countries who do not know!
This guy can fight and never be verbose, and negotiations are always talked about!
Sean was bound to do a game, but when he thought of the missile destroyer fleet under the umbrella and the navy with the umbrella, Suharto's heart was half cold......
There's no fucking odds of winning!
The Malays have just set an example for Southeast Asian countries, and although Suharto believes that Indonesia is far stronger than the Malays, the difference between the two is raw eggs and boiled eggs.
The two will definitely win against hard-boiled eggs, but the result is no different from that of stones!
Thinking on the left is not a taste, and thinking about the right is uncomfortable, Suharto can only hope that the Brooke Kingdom will not spend a lot of money to hire Sean to do things.
Install the latest version. γ
Brook Kingdom: Yes, I hired him!
It's just that, obviously, the Brooke Kingdom doesn't know how to raise it, and completely ignores the protests handed over by Indonesia.
Out of the idea of being prepared and striking first, Suharto endured it for two days and then made a phone call to Sean.
After a few words of greeting, Suharto asked directly: "How much money did the Brook people give to the umbrella, and I, Suharto, will give double and not get involved in the dispute between Indonesia and them about Natuna Island!" β
Sean: "......"
This embarrassed him, and he almost blurted out that Brooke was going to give me the whole of the Natuna Islands.
However, considering that Suharto would be deceived by him, he was ready to wait for the matter to be settled before contacting Suharto.
Sean believes that Suharto is a sincere person and will not dare to lie to him!
"I'll think about it, see what they bid, and I'll call you back."
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!" Suharto hung up the phone, in a good mood.
There's nothing you can't buy with money!
β¦β¦
Just when Suharto was full of pride, and the eyes of the entire Southeast Asia were looking at this side, the Brook Kingdom suddenly held a canonization ceremony.
It's grand.
King Charles Brook made Sean the Duke of Natuna, and his territory was the Natuna Islands, and as a duke, Sean owned all the land of the entire Natuna Islands, including the surrounding seas.
Politically, the Duke of Natuna had legislative and military power over his land.
Except for the diplomatic power handed over to the Brooke Kingdom, the Natuna Islands are Sean's own land, and everything is as you please.
The rights are greater than what the British Virgin Islands or the like.
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.
In the European and American world, the news has been suppressed by Sean and Murdoch, but in Southeast Asia, everyone knows about it!
Suharto's whole body was numb when he heard the news, and he felt that you didn't fucking hire an umbrella as a thug, you fucking gave away the entire archipelago!
Ruthless enough!
No, it's enough!
It's not your own land that you give away, and you don't hesitate to be stingy, right?
Suharto was mad.
At this moment, Sean made a phone call, "What, Suharto, what you said, how much money does the Brooke people pay, you Suharto double, so let's do it, in addition to Natuna, I also want the Anambas Islands, I will join Indonesia immediately, and the conditions will be the same as Brooke." β
Suharto's face turned blue and he dropped the phone!
Listening to the busy sound coming from the phone, Sean fed and fed a few times, his face turned cold, and he found a pen and paper to write slowly, "Suharto dares to lie to me, I'm not angry!" β
