Chapter 811: Taking advantage of foreign countries and self-respect (second update, please subscribe)

Jakarta.

Independence Memorial Square and Presidential Palace.

Near noon, a staff member hurriedly ran down the corridor with a telegram, then rashly broke into the president's office and shouted loudly.

"Mr. President, ship, ship..."

"what?"

Sugaruo, who was meeting the guests, frowned and looked at the staff with some displeasure.

"What's going on? You just barged in like that?"

"Mr. President, the Hasl has sunk!"

Hearing this, Sukaruo shouted uncontrollably.

The troops on the ship must have gone to the sea to meet the Dragon King. Facing the president's successive questions, the staff quickly answered.

As a politician, Sukaro had a very keen sense of smell, and he quickly realized the crisis that this rebellion might cause. This crisis was caused by local forces' doubts about Jakarta's control.

After all, since independence, Sugaruo has been trying to take back power from the local factions in the federation, which has naturally caused some conflicts. Of course, he also knows that those people are also waiting for opportunities.

"Mr. President, we have to uproot those people."

"10 days, general, I hope that in 10 days, our army will arrive in Lampung and take back the city that belongs to us!"

"It's still unclear what happened, but it did sink. A nearby ship found sailors who fell into the water. Bodies were everywhere on the sea. Only a few people were rescued..."

"It will take at least half a month, Mr. President, as you know, the size of our army is very limited, we..."

Sugaruo said before the army commander finished speaking.

"The most important thing now is not just to find the reason for the sinking of the ship, but more importantly, when can we send the army to Lampung? If we cannot quickly put down the local rebellion, then other people with different intentions will think that We are unable to control the situation, and those who are dissatisfied with us are likely to follow suit and rebel."

No one would have thought that the Hasl was sunk by a submarine. After all, sometimes there are things that are beyond people's understanding. They can never imagine that Nanyang would have such no "bottom line" and actually secretly attack the submarine. Sink their troopships.

Compared to the angry army commander, Sugaruo said.

After the army commander left, Sugaruo summoned several other ministers. After briefing them on the situation, they discussed how to quell the rebellion and how to avoid local factions becoming disloyal. They were busy from morning to afternoon until nearly afternoon. At three o'clock, everything was done. But even so, he couldn't relax easily.

Dozens of minutes later, the army commander also hurried over. The pale-faced army commander shouted loudly as soon as he saw the president.

"All of this is the root cause of the Netherlands. Not only did they sell our land to the Nanyang people, but they also created the so-called federation, more than a dozen republics..."

"General, how long will it take you to regroup your troops?"

"Mr. President, someone must have installed a bomb on the merchant ship. It must be those radical elements."

"What? What happened? How did it sink? Where are the troops on the ship?"

While cursing Holland again, Sugaruo thought for a moment, called his secretary and said.

"Prepare the car and go to the Soviet Russian Embassy. I want to see the Soviet Russian Ambassador."

The most important thing now is to win the support of the big powers. It is definitely impossible for the Dutch, so the only one is Soviet Russia. When Sukaro went to the Soviet Embassy, ​​the news that the troop transport ship encountered a "mine" left over from the war and sank into the sea had already spread in Jakarta. However, most ordinary people were not aware of this "accident." What kind of changes will the "incident" bring to the destiny of this country?

But for some people with a keen sense of smell, especially those local people who had briefly gained "independence" with the support of the Dutch. Although they were supported by the Netherlands at that time, they secretly supported the republican independents to drive away the Dutch colonial power. The desired exchange was that a future independent Indonesia must establish a federal republic with full autonomy.

But in the end their wishful thinking turned out to be wrong. Under the leadership of Sukaro, Indonesia became a centralized unified country after independence. The dissatisfaction with the loss of status naturally made those people extremely dissatisfied with Jakarta. Now, whether it is the rebellion in Aceh or the rebellion in Lampung, Or maybe the sinking of the troop ship gave them an opportunity.

Almost at the same time, some European businessmen appeared in their living room. For a while, Jakarta was undercurrent. No one knew what consequences this undercurrent would have, but a storm was brewing.

While the storm was brewing in Jakarta, Nanyang across the sea was still peaceful. In Chang'an's official residence, Li Yian was looking at the intelligence on French Central and Southern China provided by the intelligence agency while listening to Cheng Pengan's report.

"...In order to regain the initiative on the battlefield, the French army formulated a plan to use Dien Bien Phu as a base and prepare to annihilate the main force of the Vietnamese army within 18 months...According to our intelligence, the Vietnamese army is undergoing large-scale mobilization, and they are very likely to It is possible to launch an attack on Dien Bien Phu and use an active attack to defeat the French army’s attempt..."

Cheng Pengan said after a slight pause.

"According to the intelligence we have obtained in the past, the Vietnamese army has always lacked the ability to take the initiative to attack and fight with large formations. This proactive attack means that the person who planned this operation should be the military consultant sent by Tangshan..."

Listening to Cheng Pengan's analysis, Li Yian just nodded.

"That's true!"

In fact, this is the case. The "Battle of Dien Bien Phu" that determined the fate of French Central South was celebrated every year by Vietnam until the 21st century. After all, the victory of this battle allowed the French to recognize North Vietnam's independence, and it was the Tangshan Military Advisory Group that actually planned and directed the entire campaign.

"Sir, this also means..."

Looking at the frowning Excellency, Cheng Peng'an sighed. In fact, the report had already pointed out the impact of this incident on Nanyang, so he stopped talking. After all, some things are unavoidable.

After closing the report, Li Yian took a deep breath and asked.

"Indochina is too far away. What about Jakarta? What's the situation there now?"

Cheng Pengan replied.

"The plan has been implemented. Just as planned, the deterioration of the situation not only stretched Jakarta's forces and allowed local factions to see opportunities, but according to our intelligence, Sugaru visited the Soviet Ambassador on the day of the incident. , the two people had a three-hour conversation. On that day, a telegram of about 10,000 words was sent from the embassy. Although we have not deciphered the content of the telegram, it is certain that Soviet Russia is likely to comprehensively Sukaro's intention to intervene in Indonesian affairs is also very obvious, which is to try to use the support of Soviet Russia to deter local factions from having any dissent. "

This is the so-called relying on foreign countries for self-respect. For small countries, when facing a crisis, they will generally adopt this method, which is to attract a large foreign country as a backer and then intimidate domestic opposition.

From this point of view, it is very remarkable if Sugaru can react like this in such a short period of time, but what he doesn't know is that this is what Nanyang has been looking forward to.

"Soviet Russia..."

Li Yian raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly.

"Okay, now they're giving us their excuses..."

Sometimes, all people need is an excuse!

After thinking for a moment, Li Yian picked up the phone and said to the other end of the phone.

"Talk to the Foreign Minister's Office."

The call was quickly connected, Li Yian said on the other end of the phone.

"Guoren, contact the United States and invite Secretary Dulles to visit Nanyang and discuss issues in Southeast Asia with them."
