Chapter 1486: Washington's Cheers (First Update, Please Subscribe)
At the time of the bombing of Jakarta, it was noon in Washington, and a large dark cloud was blowing over the mountains of Prussian George County in the distance. It was from there that the Patuxent River flowed down to join the Chepeake River. In the CIA headquarters complex, known simply as Langley, there was a rectangular building.

At this moment, on the sixth floor of the building, which is also the top floor, people were walking back and forth hurriedly.

CIA Director McKeon rubbed his tired eyes with his fingertips, stood up and walked to the window.

The large grove of silvery birch trees, whose foliage when in bloom would have blocked the view of the Potomac, now had their bare branches covered with young leaves, which would soon turn a rich green, and then the Potomac would be hidden from view by the treetops.

Another busy day.

Since deciding to help Brazil with a regime change, McKeon has been staying here for the past few days and rarely leaves. Sometimes, he can only take a nap during the breaks in work. Now the work in Brazil has reached its final stage.

Whether it is success or failure, only God knows.

However, he has been receiving calls since half an hour ago. These calls came from the White House, the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of State, etc. It seemed that everyone knew his phone number.

In fact, everyone knows his number, and everyone needs to get the latest news.

Behind him sat equally exhausted Deputy Director for Operations Crane and Billy Babbitt, Chief of the Southeast Asia Division.

"So, is that all?"

McKeon asked, as if asking it again would get a better answer.

But the answer has not changed. The current situation is that the president, the national security adviser and the secretary of state all ask the CIA to provide super-secret intelligence from Changan, or more precisely, Changan.

Although there had been communication with the United States before the SEA's "combat of terrorist activities", and the White House's consent had been obtained on the issue of attacking Jakarta.

However, after it announced the attack on Jakarta, the White House became worried again and wanted to find out Changan's attitude.

Will their military operations be limited to air strikes, or will they also launch ground operations?

After launching the ground operation, will they want to stay in Jakarta?

Would he suspend military action in the face of the Soviet Union's continued resolutions in the UN Security Council?

Would he have capitulated in this situation if the Soviet Union had intervened?
What does he think?
What are his plans?
Damn, what on earth does he want to do?
But the CIA doesn't know. Or rather, the CIA doesn't know any information other than what it officially releases.

Of course, they did have an intelligence station in Chang'an. In fact, Billy Babbitt once served as the station chief of the Chang'an intelligence station.

"For now, we don't have much information. In addition to the official information, our local informants also provided some intelligence. In fact, some of the informants are semi-official contacts themselves."

In intelligence work, there is a very important task, which is actually the infiltration of allies. They will look for informants among the allies, and some of these informants work for the allied intelligence departments themselves and have been providing intelligence. Those intelligence are deliberately let the other party know.

For example, some information that cannot be disclosed through official channels.

"All intelligence indicates that this anti-terrorism war is only in its early stages. In Chang'an, the military has developed a detailed battle plan. They will help the local opposition defeat Jakarta. If the Soviet Union intervenes, they will also be directly affected!"

"Just go down there, like we did in Saigon?"

"Yes, they are doing it. According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, more than 5000 SEA soldiers have entered Aceh, East Java and other places. Just like the special warfare we carried out in Saigon, we used to provide weapons to the opposition together with them, but now, they are doing it themselves."

After thinking for a moment, Billy Babbitt added:

"It's still just a 'special war' now. Just like the Soviets sent commandos to help Jakarta, they also sent special forces to conduct low-intensity operations. If the Soviets intervene fully, they will definitely increase the intensity!"

What is upper strength?
Of course, the navy and air force will join together.

"So they won't stay there?"

"At least for now, they have no reason to stay there. We all know that compared to occupying a country with a population of nearly 9000 million, SEA, with a population of only more than 9000 million, will obviously not bear such a heavy burden. Compared to this, they are more inclined to dismember the country, just like they proposed a plan to split it into more than a dozen countries according to the plan of the Dutch back then."

Billy Babbitt continued:

"Therefore, the White House's concerns are totally unreasonable. After all, this is no longer the era of using force to change the map!"

McKeon nodded and said:

"Even so, the problem is that their land is constantly expanding, and the White House has to worry about this issue!" After hearing what the director said, Deputy Director Klein said:

"What they got from the Dutch were sparsely populated islands. They had no interest in places with large populations. You know, that lord hated the Javanese to his core and even used ships to send all the Javanese who had immigrated to Java before the war back to Java."

Looking at the documents on the table, Klein said with an envious tone:

"From a professional perspective, I envy them. Their principles are very simple - interests come first. If a country damages their interests, they will strike hard and solve the problem directly and fundamentally. But what about us?
We had no way to deal with Cuba, which was so close to us. We chose to remain silent when they confiscated the assets of American companies, and then it became a forward base for the Soviet Union.

In Brazil, in the past few years, Brazil is gradually becoming another Cuba, and nationalizing the assets of American companies is often the first step. But what about us? We are concerned about our international image and choose to remain silent!

What will happen with this silence? Brazil will become another Cuba! "

This is precisely a characteristic of the period of the US-Soviet rivalry. There was a very important competition between them, which was to see whose light was stronger and brighter, and whose image was more glorious and taller.

They are all trying to establish a better order, to lead more people, to become the leader of this world, or to win the competition.

You don't need to tell anyone about this, just like the sun doesn't need to tell anyone, others know it is shining.

It is for this reason that they are particularly concerned about their image, and this is why, during the Cold War, small countries had a very comfortable life. For the sake of their own image, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, promoted their values ​​​​and theirs. In order to make others follow them, they provided large amounts of aid to small countries while at the same time cherishing their own feathers and maintaining their so-called glorious image.

Of course, the biggest characteristic of the Soviet Union is that it likes to strike hard at its disobedient younger brothers. Leaving aside Budapest, Prague and Afghanistan, it is also extremely kind to those younger brothers who cannot be struck hard, and the ruble is abundant.

What about America?
That is also a big spender all over the world, and it just likes to give its allies a "bitter beating". In other words, it is more insidious and more obscure.

Just like what they are doing in Brazil now.

"That's in the past. Soon, we will deal with Brazil and Jakarta..."

After thinking for a moment, McKeon said:

"Then let's tell the White House with a definite answer - they will not occupy Jakarta!"

"Director, in fact, compared to Chang'an, I am more worried about Moscow!"

At this time, Klein expressed his concerns and said:

"I am worried about whether Moscow will react violently. After all, it is well known that Jakarta is its younger brother, and there are Soviet soldiers in the area!

If there is an exchange of fire between them, then whether the conflict between them will escalate is what we should be most worried about.”

As he finished speaking, the phone rang again. McKeon picked up the phone, and after a while he put it down again and said:
“The Russians fought back.”

McKeon looked at Klein and said:
"They launched a counterattack at the United Nations. The Soviet representative requested an immediate meeting of the Security Council to discuss the foreign invasion of Jakarta. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely ask the United Nations to intervene."

"It's well known that this is impossible to pass, isn't it?"

The reason why Klein said this was very simple... In the United Nations, it was just a matter of a veto.

"So in other words, any action in the United Nations is just a show for others to see. The most important thing is the subsequent reaction."

As the deputy director in charge of operations, Klein knew very well that the real battle was definitely not on the United Nations side.

"Russians!"

After a pause, he emphasized:
"The Russians will never give up. They will definitely react violently. Otherwise, they will lose face. Under such circumstances, I think the possibility of escalation is very high."

“Maybe it’s not a bad thing for us.”

As the director of the Southeast Asia Department, Bill said on the side.

"If we can focus the Russians' attention on Jakarta, then their forces in Saigon will be weakened, which I think will be a good thing for us."

Sometimes crises, when viewed from a different perspective, are opportunities in themselves, just like now, these people suddenly realized that what happened in Jakarta was good for the United States.
