Chapter 142 Suharto personally begged for mercy
Although the congressional hearing lasted for a week, it is not known when the final ruling will be made.Fortunately, the live broadcasts of Asia TV and Asia Satellite TV have drawn global attention to the country of Indonesia. Even ASEAN, which originally planned to cover up one or two things, had to make a "solemn statement" under the pressure of China, and said it would take "economic sanctions." At the same time, it also guarantees that the peacekeeping force will be excluded from intervening before the situation in Indonesia continues to deteriorate.
And Indonesia has restrained a lot because of the reports from the outside world, which also gave many Chinese a chance to take refuge.As the Chinese fled to Malaysia or Singapore, a large amount of Chinese capital also fled from Indonesia.In particular, the Taiwan authorities also announced the suspension of aid to Indonesia and the freezing of the funds of the Indonesian government and citizens in Taiwan, causing the entire Indonesian economy to suffer even worse.What made Suharto most uncomfortable was that hedge funds such as Soros seemed to be getting more and more fun in Indonesia. After completely destroying Indonesia's foreign exchange market and futures market, Indonesia's stock market has also become a display.Although hedge funds did not directly impact the Indonesian stock market, no one is trading in the Indonesian stock market. All traders are listing their shares for sale, but unfortunately no one is taking orders.
The professional group headed by Suharto is also not happy. Although they are not interested in the Indonesian rupiah and the Indonesian economy, the problem is that if Indonesia really collapses, then these professional groups will not have a good life.The most important thing is that those thugs on the street are not completely fools. They originally said that driving away the Chinese would have a good life, but now the Chinese are either running away or hiding, but life is getting more and more difficult.At first everyone thought it would be a good idea to rob Chinese supermarkets, because they didn’t need money for food.But with the closing of Chinese supermarkets one after another, there is nowhere for everyone to go to buy a bottle of water.So some people began to target Suharto and others, and the Indonesian government immediately stood up nervously.The Indonesian military, which had been working closely with the Indonesian government to deal with the Chinese, also began to become unstable, and some people even talked about a military coup.
"Stupid pig!" Suharto yelled loudly in his private house, "Who was stupid enough to hang out with the army's brainless gang to kill the Chinese? The tax money the Chinese give to the government and the bribes they give to you every year Isn’t that enough! Why do such stupid things as killing chickens and taking eggs? Now that all the Chinese have been driven away, who will watch the endgame? And those hungry wolves outside, who will pay for it?”
People in other professional groups were silent, but they were thinking in their hearts that it was not your own acquiescence.Suharto actually disliked the Chinese very much, because he was a populist. He felt that Indonesia's wealth should be in the hands of the indigenous Indonesians, not the Chinese.In order to fight against the Chinese forces in the country, he worked closely with the Americans to deprive the Chinese of their wealth, and on the other hand, strictly prohibited the spread of Chinese education and Chinese culture in Indonesia, which can be said to eliminate the Chinese economically and culturally.
Moreover, Suharto also condoned the Indonesian military from time to time to physically eliminate the Chinese, so everyone thought that this incident was strongly approved by Suharto.In fact, if there is no big trouble, Suharto is of course happy to see it succeed.On the one hand, it has obtained a large amount of wealth from Indonesian Chinese, and on the other hand, it can pass on domestic conflicts.
Suharto's son-in-law, Indonesian government Minister of Science and Technology Habibi suggested: "What do our friends in the United States say?"
"They let us find our own way!" Suharto said angrily.
Suharto also contacted his friends in the United States, hoping to suppress the whole thing.But he underestimated the power of the American media and the greed of the interest groups behind Jed. His friends have clearly told him that Congress has identified the massacre in Indonesia as "genocide", and the reason why it has not been announced is that Congress Sanctions are not yet in place.The measures proposed by human rights organizations such as the Chinese American Historical Society are not only to impose economic sanctions on Indonesia, but also to send U.S. troops or peacekeeping troops to Indonesia.This plan has been approved by many interest groups. They have just taken away a large amount of land, mines and oil fields from the Indonesian consortium. They wish that the US military would protect them in the past.But fortunately, there are still small forces in the United States that support Indonesia. They unite with the Democrats in the United States and believe that the cost of stationing troops overseas is too high, so they only ask for economic sanctions.
"What else can we do?" Habibi showed embarrassment, "They can't be too greedy, can they?"
Suharto sighed and said, "I'm going to make a phone call, I hope that person has lost his temper."
Suharto was also the first time he met someone who annoyed him, but he was helpless.Arrange for someone to assassinate him?Hehe, let's not say that the chance of success is low, even if he succeeds, I'm afraid that he will be hunted down by the Americans for the rest of his life.Don't say you are an ally of the United States, even if you are a good friend like Canada, if you dare to shoot and kill American citizens in the United States, the United States will definitely be determined to arrest you and sit in the electric chair.The most classic national policy of the United States is not to conduct any hostage negotiations, but never let any criminal who shoots and kills innocent Americans be spared.Originally, Suharto didn't understand why he provoked this god of plague, but after he learned that he was half-Chinese and the honorary chairman of the American Chinese Historical Society was his grandfather, he also understood.He is a populist, so he can naturally understand the other party's pride and self-esteem as a Chinese.
McLaren once again found Jed with Suharto's commission, and this time Jed agreed to negotiate today.Jed is not a fool, he has done everything he can for the Chinese, and the rest is beyond his control.If the trouble continues, I'm afraid the interest groups behind him won't want it anymore.They have made a lot of money and now they need a stable Indonesia for them to absorb their vested interests.
So Jed set out his conditions, "The Indonesian government must apologize for their inaction, the officials who should step down must step down, and the officials who should be sentenced must be sentenced. Those thugs must die, and I don't care about such deaths. And those who participated The Indonesian military personnel who came in, let them disappear. I agree that they will not stand trial, but they must die."
There was a little cold sweat on McLaren's forehead, "If you do this, Indonesia's blood will flow into rivers."
"Is there still less blood in Indonesia now? Since the Chinese are bleeding, why can't the Indonesian natives bleed?" Jed sneered, "If they agree, then let me see the apology announcement before the end of today's Pacific time and arrest warrant."
"What can Suharto and the others get?" McLaren asked.In fact, he didn't want to be a lobbyist, because he was not only mocked by Jed last time, but also reprimanded by representatives of some interest groups, but this time the reward was too generous.
"We will stop speculating in Indonesia," Jade replied. "If they execute the thugs in the next week, I can convince the Chinese American Historical Society to pursue only 'economic sanctions' against Indonesia in the US Congress."
McLaren brought Jade's request to Suharto, but Suharto was so angry that his face turned black, and the people in the professional group were also very dissatisfied.Sanctioning those thugs is fine, and killing a few people anyway to appease the blame of the international community is no problem.But asking the government to apologize, the officials involved to step down, and the military officers involved to be executed are three conditions that make this group of politicians feel unacceptable. After all, they are a country, how could they be threatened by a guy who makes movies?
Habibi said: "This is absolutely unacceptable! If we lose the confidence of the government and the military, our professional group will be in jeopardy. Now the domestic Democratic Party is marching everywhere to demand that the government step down. Fang will no longer support us. If that time comes, everyone will inevitably die in exile."
"Then what if we lose the support of the Americans?" Suharto asked rhetorically, "Don't think that we still have anything that can make the United States excited. What do you think they want, and the cost is lower than through us, how do you think they will choose? If we don’t send them away, how long can we support us? Without US dollars, do you think the military will support us? Tell those unlucky Guys, their families will get a pension, and then they will know what to do. As for the army, you make those generals understand that if we fall, they will be next. Don't think mine You can only give them US dollars, but they have a group of hungry wolves who are hungrier than them."
"I see," Habibie replied.People in other professional groups also know that this is to "lose the car to keep the handsome". It doesn't matter if you lose a few insignificant people. The important thing is that they still hold the lifeline of Indonesia's economy.
Two weeks after the Black May massacre, the Indonesian government apologized to the Chinese and the international community for its inaction.At the same time, President Suharto announced that the government and the military will conduct internal investigations, and all officials or military officers involved will be prosecuted by prosecutors.At the same time, the Indonesian government also announced that it will convene a special court to quickly and severely sentence the thugs involved in the Black May massacre.In order to attract the return of Chinese funds, the Indonesian government announced for the first time that it will compensate the Chinese community, and will continue to open up the Chinese publishing, media and education markets in the next three years.Shortly after Suharto showed his sincerity, the U.S. Congress announced that it "declared the Indonesian Black May massacre as a 'genocide' event and announced that it would impose one-year economic sanctions on Indonesia."
"On behalf of the Chinese compatriots in Indonesia, I would like to express my high gratitude to Mr. Sherman." Li Jiayao is still very excited.Although the Black May massacre still resulted in the destruction of many Chinese families, at least more Chinese families escaped the catastrophe.This time, with the initiative of the Indonesian government and the supervision of the US government, coupled with the attention of ASEAN, which is being watched by the mainland, the whole incident should have a relatively happy ending.Although there are not many Chinese who will return to Indonesia, for the Chinese who stay in Indonesia, perhaps their future life will be much easier.
"I'm also half-Chinese." Jed replied lightly.After hanging up Li Jiayao's phone call, Jade continued to work on his movie on the set.Although with the help of the assistant director, the schedule was not delayed too much, but it still inevitably had some impact on the quality of the film.Fortunately, this is a commercial film in the first place, so it's okay to have a little bit next time.But Jed remembered the bet he had with Michael Bay, and he didn't want to lose to shoot a script written by Michael Bay.
