Chapter 599 Potential Changes
Just when Tang Yu was full of murderousness, on the night of May 9, Su Ha Tuo stayed up all night in his house.
Su Ha Tuo is very entangled. He is really entangled. He doesn't know how to choose. Should he launch a riot, fight, or retreat steadily?
Obviously, according to the current situation, his dictatorship can no longer be maintained. At this time, people in Indonesia have been complaining because of the Asian financial crisis, and they are extremely dissatisfied with the government authorities. His step down is inevitable. There must be a new regime to replace this. Suharto, who has been a dictatorship in Indonesia for 32 years, is unwilling and very unwilling.
If a person controls power for a long time, even for a long time, but for a short period of time, it is enough to generate a desire for power. There is an urgent idea of ruling others, not to mention that this kind of lord of a country, who has ruled a whole country for 32 years. If Suharto is willing to give up power and retreat It's strange to be behind the scenes. In fact, he still thinks that he is old and strong, because there is no problem for him to work for another ten years. Of course, what he won't know is that exactly ten years later, he passed away and took away three secrets.
Anyone who has controlled power knows how wonderful and intoxicating the taste is, and Suharto is unwilling to give up.
If you want to ensure the power in your hands, you can only pass on the contradictions, incite the exclusion of Chinese unrest, and turn domestic contradictions into racial contradictions. Only in this way can the people's dissatisfaction with him and the people's dissatisfaction with the current regime be resolved.
However, the intervention of Blackwater International makes everything extremely difficult.
Su Ha Tuo is a smart man. It is precisely because of his cleverness that he knows whether it is advisable or not, and knows what way to go.
Because he clearly knows that although Blackwater International is nominally independent, it must be supported by the Chinese authorities. How can it gather such a large number of combative people in a short time? How can there be so much weapons and ammunition? You know, weapons and ammunition does not mean that you can get it if you have money. Admittedly, if you have money, you can indeed buy some weapons, but if you want to prepare in large quantities, like Blackwater International, the demand of tens of thousands of units is not affordable at all. It requires the secret support of national forces. OK. Ten thousand pistols may not be very difficult for some big forces, but 10,000 sets of individual combat weapons for special forces are not something that ordinary forces can solve at all. They need the support of superpowers behind them. In fact, the emergence of Blackwater International has also solved the problem of overcapacity in a large part of domestic arsenals. Since the major layoffs in the 1980s, many domestic arsenals have fallen into a situation of overcapacity. The large-scale procurement of Blackwater International has just solved this problem. Therefore, many high-level people in China have The emergence of Blackwater International is happy to see its success. Of course, this premise is that Blackwater International must be secretly controlled by the state, and cannot become a private force. This sentence is not in vain.
Suha Tuo knows this and knows that the mainland government must be behind Blackwater International. Therefore, even if he is sure to annihilate the 20,000 people who sneaked into Blackwater International in Indonesia with 400,000 troops in his hand, so what if it is? It is impossible to solve the current dilemma at all.
How many casualties will his direct troops lose if he annihilates all 20,000 people? He has a general understanding of the combat effectiveness of the 20,000 people, and I'm afraid that the other party can kill him at least 50,000.
How many 50,000 people can Suharto spend on him? Answer, eight, he can now control most of Indonesia's army with a total of 400,000 people. Of these 400,000 people, it is estimated that there are only 40,000 to 50,000 elites. It is not cost-effective to use these elites to fight 20,000 of Blackwater International.
Blackwater International is more than 20,000, 20,000, just the number of people who have come to Indonesia. At present, Blackwater International has sufficient personnel, and the main personnel are native Chinese, and less than 10% are foreigners, and less than 1% of foreigners have come to Indonesia this time. More than 10,000, you can imagine how big Blackwater International is at this time. It is estimated that the armed seizure of the Indonesian government is enough.
Once the real crossfire causes large-scale casualties, Blackwater International can logically and completely intervene in the war. It can consider the armed seizure of power. Even then, China and the government have reason to intervene in this incident. At that time, the situation in Indonesia may change significantly. Over the years, although the Chinese living in this country have a lot of money and are very rich, it is difficult for them to obtain political power, or they cannot obtain political power at all. Indonesian law Restricting the finances of the Chinese and the wealth without power to protect is destined to be a bunch of coveted buns. Perhaps after this incident, the Chinese can naturally gain political power in Indonesia.
At that time, if the Chinese have money and power, then it will really be the Chinese's turn to make the decision. Perhaps, in a few years, Indonesia will evolve into an existence similar to Singapore. This possibility must not be accepted by Suharto. Therefore, he should try his best to avoid this possibility.
In fact, he had received a whistleblower from many Chinese groups in China, informing that the mainland government was hostile to Indonesia and calling on them to evacuate Indonesia. In Indonesia, most of the Chinese groups at this time are close to him and close relatives of the Bay Government. They do not believe the words of the mainland government, and it is also acceptable to tell the secret.
Suharto denied the matter with a smile at that time, but he knew in his heart that the information given by China's foreign affairs department was accurate. Without the intervention of Blackwater International, it would not be long before they could see that the intelligence power of the mainland government was reliable. However, this matter has given him reason to suspect that China and the government have decided to intervene in this matter. Whether it is the intervention of Blackwater International or the exact package given by the embassy, it seems to prove this. Although there are some unpleasant contradictions between the Chinese stranded in Indonesia and the mainland government at this time, it is not Su Ha Tuo is not worried.
Suharto even suspects that Blackwater International, China and the government are basically thinking about this, wanting the Indonesian authorities to exchange fire with their people, and then they will completely intervene in the war and control the situation in Indonesia. The so-called master the barrel of the gun is to master the government. This sentence applies to all times.
Suharto is convinced that if Blackwater International fully intervenes, with the support of China and the government behind them, it can be said that it is easy to control the situation in Indonesia. At that time, the Chinese living in Indonesia will be able to take the throne of power.
So, on this night, Tang Yu was thinking about how to kill him this night, but he was thinking about it and was ready to give up this plan.
For Suharto, if he is strongly involved by the mainland government, it is definitely not worth the gains. In fact, he has been a dictator for 32 years. When considering problems, he not only considers himself, but also the interests of the whole country. When he is in power, his interests are also It is tied to the interests of the country.
For him at this time, if he launches a riot and riot, it is not known whether he will succeed in the end. The situation will certainly be very complicated, and there is no room for easing with the mainland government. However, if he does not launch a riot or riot, although he is destined to go to the political arena and give way to others, one thing can Sure, that is, even if he step down, he can still ensure his life and family property. After all, he still holds the military power in his hand. Although he will definitely hand over part of the military power after taking power down, if the power changes peacefully, he can still retain part of the military power. This part of military power is enough for him to maintain. The family's interests and his own life, and even if all the military power are handed over, at most, the family will give up the cake with the greatest interests, and no one will pay from his family's pocket.
At this time, the property of the Suharto family has exceeded 10 billion US dollars and is already very large.
So, Suharto is ready to give up this matter. Because he is a politician, he will never do what he thinks most is interests, things that are not in line with interests, and things that are not worth the losses. This is a smart politician, and a smart politician who never blocks his back road. If there is no strong intervention of Blackwater International, then he is Dare to do something hard, but Blackwater International came, not only came, but also brought a large number of armed forces, and those things had to be changed. In fact, since he learned the information of Blackwater International, he has been thinking about the problems here, thinking that such early benefits can be maximized.
Maximization of interests is the pursuit of a politician. There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. This is the truth. For this kind of interests-oriented people, in some cases, they are the most shameless people and the most likely to go back on their way...
So, Suharto is ready to retreat.
However, one thing he forgot is that it is his interest that he is going to incite this matter, but the people who cooperate with him, those who support him to incite violence and rebellion, they also have their own interests, they have their own purposes, Suharto is ready to give up, but they want to actively promote this matter.
For example, Suharto's son-in-law Pravos, for example, the Suharto regime has fattened that group of people, for example, the Indonesian rich family that has been supporting Suharto and Suharto's own family, and for example, the U.S. government and the Daiwan authorities.
These people, although most of the time their interests coincide with Suharto's interests, it does not mean that they will support Suharto's decision. The basis of their overlapping interests with Suharto is that Suharto must stay in the position of President of Indonesia. Once he is not in that position, he only He is just an old man who is bullshit. No one will pay attention to him. They need Suharto to stay in the position that can guarantee their interests.
Just like the political groups in Pravos and Suharto's regime, for them, the end of Suharto's political life is also the end of their interests. To keep Suharto's position in Indonesia is to keep their interests in Indonesia. As long as Suharto is in power, they can continue to spend money. , continue to have a high position and continue to rely on their own status to make profits.
People's desires are always endless, just like Suharto has been dictatorship in Indonesia for 32 years, but he still wants to continue to occupy this position and continue the dictatorship of the country. Just like Suha Tuo's interest communities, they have followed Suha Tuo for 32 years and have made a lot of money, but they still don't want to stop and want to continue this kind of life.
Suharto is in power, and they are ready to continue to dout, but once Suharto step down, those who are too close to Suharto are doomed to have no good end. Perhaps those political enemies will leave a glimmer of life for Suharto, but for these people, those people will definitely not be soft. It is inevitable to kill.
Of course, the killing here is not to kill them, but to end their political position, cut off the source of their interests, and divide up the cake that originally belonged to them. Those who were originally in a key position in the power field must be marginalized. Those who originally earned the easiest money must take this benefit. Give it out.
In fact, this must be inevitable. The old and new forces alternate. If there is no tacit understanding, but the real knife and gun are shot down, then they, the elders of the old dynasty, will naturally do their best to suppress them. The alternation of old and new forces has always been the alternation of interests, and the redistribution of power also means the redistribution of wealth and the redistribution of interests.
In fact, Su Ha Tuo's situation at this time, but it is not difficult to explain that it is difficult to ride a tiger. In fact, this is also the reason why some generals were added to the yellow robes when the Li Dynasty changed.
Just like Zhao Kuangyin, maybe he didn't want to usurp the throne at that time. Maybe he just wanted to have soldiers and horses to dominate the side. Maybe he just wanted to have soldiers to be the king, but his subordinates didn't think so. For the people under him, Zhao Kuangyin's emperor is more beneficial to their interests. They can take advantage of this. Gaining a higher status and more benefits, they did not hesitate to push Zhao Kuangyin to the emperor's throne and put him in a yellow robe, so that later, Zhao Kuangyin was worried that his men would also play this trick to overthrow his regime and had to use a glass of wine to release his military power, so he said Sometimes, people can't help themselves.
Just like this time, Su Ha Tuo wants to flinch and doesn't want to be reactionary, but some people are not as good as he wants, but they have to launch it behind his back.
In fact, this is the situation in Indonesia at this time. For those who are too close to Suharto, such as Pravos, such as the assistants of his regime, these people know that they will not have a good end after Suharto's step down. Naturally, they have to fight for the last glimmer of life, as long as If they win, let Suharto survive this disaster and continue to dictatorship in Indonesia, then their interests can be preserved. Only Suharto can stay in that position for two years, or even two years can't be used. Maybe it's OK for just one year, and they can find another person to replace Suharto's dictatorship Indonesia. This Individuals must be people who can represent the interests of their group.
Therefore, Suharto now wants to retreat, but they are unwilling to flinch. They will not look forward and backward like Suharto, because they are different from Suharto. They have no way out. Only this road can go. This road is to keep Suharto's position. Another point is that they and Suharto think differently, that is, although Suharto is a dictator, although he is a bloody butcher, and although there are many unsatisfactory things, he will still consider the problem from the perspective of the whole Indonesia. He will not just think about himself, but also take into account. When it comes to the interests of the country, he knows that Indonesia can't experience a war at this time, while other people, who stand not high enough, will not think about this. They will only consider their immediate interests and only consider their own interests.
In fact, they will not consider the issues considered by Suharto at all. As far as Suharto is, he can understand that if there is a conflict with Blackwater International, even if the mainland government does not intervene, the expensive military expenditure will trust Indonesia's finances. At that time, there may not be no need for others to contribute to the storm. The West Asian government itself will collapse, and then the government will become a hot potato.
But those people in Pravos will not think about this. They only need Suhato in place, but they don't think that Indonesia is indeed a big cake, but after this cake is blown up, no one can eat it. Unlike now, everyone can still eat a few bites, that is squeezed out of the middle by others. If you can't eat cream, you can also eat some scraps below.
What they think is to keep Suhartuo's position. They must keep it. Only by keeping it can they ensure that their interests will not be harmed.
How to keep Suharto's position?
This problem is actually very simple. They have planned it before, that is, to launch a riot and rebellion against China, turn domestic contradictions into racial contradictions, and turn people's dissatisfaction with the authorities into dissatisfaction with the Chinese, because the Chinese do control most of the wealth in Indonesia, and the Chinese are indeed better than India. The natives of Nicaea should be rich and live a good life. Just like Hitler's massacre of Jews in those years, they can also use such means to transfer contradictions. Only the people will not be dissatisfied with the regime, so Suharto can continue to occupy their positions. What's more, they will fight for benefits and time. By the way, through violence and chaos, they can also get money from the Chinese through violent means. Wealth, robbery, robbery and extortion are all means they can use.
This is their only vitality. As long as they win, they can continue to be unrestrained, and losing will not be worse than the situation after Suharto's step down.
Another history of time and space proves that this kind of inhuman riot and movement is destined to be impossible to succeed, and it is impossible for them to achieve their goals. If this can achieve their goals, wouldn't God be too blind?
However, these people have not experienced another history of time and space. Naturally, they don't know what the outcome will be. They don't know that Suharto will be forced to resign from the presidency on the 23rd, more than ten days later. They don't know that the new president will inform Indonesia soon.
Therefore, while Suhato is still thinking about how to make this riot and chaos invisible, Pravos and others have been secretly discussing the riot and riot.
For Pravos, he is Suharto's son-in-law. During Suharto's reign, he has been acting as Suharto's loyal minion. He leads the most elite troops in Suharto's hands. Over the years, he has done countless dirty and black jobs for Suharto. I don't know how many people from hostile parties have met him. Cruel means, his fate, is closely related to Suharto's political status. In fact, the original proposal for Chinese exclusion was also put forward by him, and the plan was also formulated by his organization. Those thugs are also the army under his control in training. Everything is his active preparation, because For him, he can't tolerate his father-in-law to step down. Once Suharto is not in office, he will not have a good end. For promoting the development of this matter, he is the most active person, even more active than Suharto. This cruel executioner has an extremely great desire for power. He even thought about inheriting the position of President Suharto, only If Suharto can persist for a few years, he will be sure to fully control Indonesia's military power. At that time, he can use military power to start a dictatorship like his father-in-law. If he is lucky, he may also be able to dictatorship for 32 years. This is the real idea and purpose in the heart of this cold-blooded butcher, and why he is active. The reason for driving this matter.
Therefore, at dawn on May 10, when he heard from his father-in-law that Suha Tuo intended to give up launching riots and movements against the Chinese, he immediately had other thoughts in his mind. Although he remained calm on the surface, Poland was already in turmoil in his heart. He could not tolerate Su Ha Tuo's retreat. It can't be tolerated at all.
For such a person, he doesn't understand politics and economy at all. What he knows is only violence and interests. From the beginning, he controlled the army and played violent games. With the support of Suharto, he has done bloody things, and dictatorship has always been his yearning.
However, his new is very high, but his ability is not as high as his heart. Even if he controls the army, he will only use violence to control violence. He does not have a strong military theory and common sense. As for governing a country, he is even worse.
He doesn't understand how much the intervention of Blackwater International will affect the situation in Indonesia, and he doesn't think that his father-in-law with 400,000 troops should be scared by a security company. Of course, he doesn't know that Indonesia's finances can't support a war at all, and he doesn't know if it really happens. After a large-scale military conflict, Indonesia's economy will immediately disintegrate, and then the whole country may collapse.
Therefore, he doesn't know how to govern the country but wants to be a second dictator. He doesn't think that the violence and turmoil against a group of Chinese who support Daiwan and are full of opinions about the mainland will make the mainland government react. Therefore, after that morning, he did not hesitate to contact People who had the same thoughts and tied their interests to Suharto began to plot. There are many people who have the same mind as him, especially the military. The more they are his direct line, the more dirty work they have done for Suha Tuo, and the more people they have offended. Once Su Ha Tuo has lost power, they are the first people to be purged. Therefore, they have the same mind as Pravos. Of course, he We also have one thing in common, that is, they don't know politics, only know how to fight and kill, only know how to play violent games, and even play violence may not play well. At least, the people of Blackwater International must be more professional and powerful than them in this regard.
Of course, Pravos has the courage to do this. Naturally, he is not hot-headed for a while. In fact, he has long been successful. In addition to contacting a group of radical generals in the military, he also has other backhands to make him fearless, because he has received a hint from a mysterious figure before. It implies that he can do it with confidence and boldness.
The origin of this mysterious character is quite mysterious, but as Suharto's woman, Pravos knows that this person represents the interests of the U.S. authorities and is the spokesperson for the interests of the U.S. authorities in Indonesia, and his predecessor was the person who launched the 930 incident with Suharto. Therefore, he got After the hint, Pravos was full of confidence, because he knew that there were Americans behind this matter, and there was such a superpower behind it. Naturally, he did everything without fear. Anyway, someone supported him. He was even fantasizing that with the support of the American authorities, he would continue to be alone in the future. In the situation of cutting Indonesia for 32 years, I have never thought about whether there will be a country in 32 years. Perhaps, this country that has been tortured by the economic crisis will collapse in a few years.
In addition to the hints of the U.S. authorities, Pravos has also been supported by many rich families in Indonesia. These are all indigenous forces in Indonesia, and they are all major forces and local factions, including the support of Suharto's own family elders.
People's desires are endless. During Suharto's dictatorship in Indonesia, there was naturally a group of his community of interests. Most of this interest group is a big family in Indonesia, including Suharto's own family. Their interests are combined with Suharto. If Suharto's step down makes him hostile. When the forces come to power, then these families close to Suharto will be purged by the other party without hesitation. Even if they are not purged, they must take out their greatest interests and divide them. This is obviously unacceptable to these people. For them, Suharto's reign is in line with their interests, as long as After a year of buffering, they will be able to support another spokesperson, so they want Suharto not to step down.
These big families are all powerful forces. Suharto just had the idea of retreating in his heart and showed a little in the early morning. On the morning of the 10th, these big forces knew Suharto's intention. They learned about Suharto's The mental state also analyzed Suharto's plan and knew more about Pravos's choice, so they did not hesitate to support Pravos, because Pravos can now represent their interests. They are even considering whether to send this simple-minded and undeveloped guy to the presidency. Go up, it's more convenient for them to make money.
They are not afraid that Su Ha Tuo will liquidate after the event. For politicians, there will always be only the word interest. Only they succeed. Su Ha Tuo, who continues to sit as president, still needs their support. They also have common interests. Naturally, there will be no conflict, even if it is Suha Tuo's heart. If there is a grudge in the middle, he will also compromise with the interests. This is politics, this is the politician, and if Suharto fails, a loser will naturally not be able to pursue them. At worst, everyone will go to hell together. They also have no fear. No matter who comes on the stage, there will be the support of these local forces. Hold.
Of course, the reason why these local families support it is not only because of Suharto. In fact, some Indonesian families that are not close to Suharto are also secretly supporting and promoting this matter, because as natives in Indonesia, they are really too jealous of the wealth and population of the Chinese. Less than 5% of the Chinese in Indonesia control Indonesia's economic lifeline and more than 70% of its wealth. This serious wealth inequality has long made them jealous of the wealth of the Chinese.
As long as they take advantage of the fire to rob when there is a riot and chaos, they can secretly occupy part of the Chinese wealth, which is also one of their main purposes. Almost most of the Indonesian families are in favor, which is too much for their interests. No matter whether Suharto finally step down or not, can they stay? In the position of president, they can take advantage of the fire to rob a large amount of wealth, a large amount of wealth that makes them extremely jealous. They don't want their country's economic lifeline to be controlled by a group of Chinese. They want to be their own economic masters.
Therefore, Pravos is full of confidence. He, who holds the most elite troops, has a hint from the U.S. authorities and with the support of his own big family, he is ready to launch a riot without hesitation, and he is to launch a riot behind Suharto, that is, his father-in-law.
