Chapter 155 Sukarno

Put away the written things, and the sweat glands were never so developed. Selov wiped his sweat off and took off his summer uniform. Indonesia spanned the equator, and there was no spring, summer, autumn and winter here at all. The temperature in March was similar to that in Moscow. Although the summer in the Soviet Union was a little short, at least there were four seasons to replace! The environment in Indonesia was only suitable for vacation, not for long-term life.

When I took a bath with a wooden bucket last time, if Selov's current super memory was not wrong, it should be that when he was in the first grade of elementary school in 1995, he couldn't get in after growing up. What's more, there was a public bathtub and he didn't have to stay at home. But in Indonesia in 1960, even large wooden buckets were rare, and ordinary families did not have such things!

The problem of taking a bath for ordinary families is to take a shower with a water bath or jump directly into the river to take a bath! People who bathe in large wooden buckets are already considered pretty good families in Indonesia. According to later terms, they should be called middle-class families! Is this middle-class family? As for Serov's observation, it is actually more in line with the proletariat defined by the Soviet Union!

Shelov is not particular about the things he uses. He can adapt whether he sleeps in the suite of Hessen Casino or is with mosquitoes in Jakarta. Moreover, the environment of the Soviet embassy is already good, and it is much better than the wooden houses like shacks outside. It rains heavily outside and lightly inside. If it rains longer, he can go into the house along the threshold.

"After Suharto, Indonesian came to power, it should be supplied by Vietnam, but they are obviously unreliable! They are in a state of war most of the time and need the support of the Soviet Union!" Selov, who was sitting in a wooden barrel, reluctantly took a bath. This large wooden barrel was a little smaller than his body! It was good to use Lukani and Iseymotney, but he was a little reluctant to use it. The embassy was not without a shower, but Selov brought so many people, which made the bathing location a little crowded. As a young man, he had to give in to the old cadre and as a chief, he had to be considerate of his subordinates!

In fact, it was to make room for the two female secretary's bathing problem, so every day when everyone took a shower, Selov sat in the wooden barrel and watered himself.

"What May Day model worker, what proletariat's quality? Isn't this tailor-made for me?" Selov, lying in the wooden barrel, was still mumbling, looking at the feet opposite him! There was no way, the barrel was about 1.5 meters long, and if he wanted to lie comfortably, he could only stretch his feet out.

The rising temperature finally dropped a little. Selov, who was not confused, used this time to consider things as a breakthrough point for the next work. First of all, the division of Indonesian forces. In the military, the Chinese friends are the Indonesian Communist Party. Some small characters in Australia, such as some Australians should be taking sides. Religious forces and nationalists support Sukarno, among which the support of nationalists is higher, because Sukarno does make nationalists happy on some occasions.

In the final analysis, this is still the problem. If you want to establish the Soviet power, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a carrier, but it is a problem to absorb people from which direction to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Religious forces cannot consider it first! Taking religious forces as allies is often the last option, and even the United States rarely does it! Religious forces are very difficult to control. Sometimes they are terrible, sometimes they are a mess of loose sand. The key is that you don’t know when they are terrible, and when they are terrible sand is simply useless. Nationalists are much more stable.

"The news came from the director, Minister Handayani, President Sukarno was preparing to meet our delegation, and it was tomorrow! At the stadium, a banquet was held at the Presidential Palace in the evening to entertain us!" Iseymotney pushed the door and said. From Selov's perspective, this tall little girl was looking at her condescendingly, as if her eyes were quite ambiguous.

"Close the door first!" Selov glanced at the half-open door and scolded in a low voice, and wiped his hands with a towel hanging on the wooden barrel. He took the invitation letter handed over by Iseymotney. Today is the tenth day after the Soviet delegation arrived in Indonesia. The Indonesian founding father finally remembered Selov's existence. Maybe he deliberately left them for a few days. Who can tell the temper of these leaders clearly?

"The director has worked so hard to take a bath by himself. Do you want me to help you with it?" Isey Motney licked her red lips and said provocatively to her direct boss.

"Precaution!" Selov answered quickly. After reading Sukarno's invitation letter, he stood up and brought a piece of water, took a towel and wiped his body, said, "We will go to the rally tomorrow, and it is time to make breakthrough progress!"

The stadium where Sukarno held a rally was built last year by the Soviet Union. The stadium was only less than two months after its completion. It was completed for Khrushchev to visit Indonesia for work, but the quality is pretty good! The entire stadium can accommodate 15,000 people. This stadium most directly shows the ability of the socialist country in this regard and build a large project! How fast, good and safe...

Sukarno's speech filled the stadium with 15,000 people, and many people stood and listened to Sukarno's speech. The cheers in the entire stadium were deafening, and the dancing and high emotions made this originally deserted stadium instantly enter a rhythm called passionate. People were very fanatical, reflecting Sukarno's prestige in Indonesia from the other side.

The embarrassing thing is that Sukarno is closer to the central part of the stadium. It’s not that Serov doesn’t want to join the carnival, but that he really doesn’t understand where to applaud and where not! He doesn’t understand Indonesian, and he doesn’t understand where Sukarno is outstanding in one language. Some translators translated Sukarno’s words and lost their original taste.

"Is it because the tropical people are more enthusiastic?" Selov asked Lukani with his head tilted, but his eyes were not idle. On the other side, there were Indonesian parties, bourgeois and religious, but also the Indonesian Communist Party! Next to these party representatives were representatives of the military, and they all made a very enthusiastic expression to express their support for Sukarno's speech.

It seems that the whole faction is happy, regardless of religion, class and party are united by President Sukarno! How beautiful this looks... an illusion! Some of the forces here are enemies, such as the position of the Indonesian Communist Party is far from that of the Indonesian Army, and at the same time they are not close to several parties with a strong religious atmosphere. However, it seems that they have a good relationship with some nationalist parties in Indonesia. A small seat relationship is enough to let Selov see many problems!

"Today, our Soviet friends are here in this completed gymnasium!" Sukarno pointed his right hand in the direction of the Soviet delegation, and warm applause burst out from the entire stadium. When he heard the translator, Selov also led the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs cadres to stand up and wave to the Indonesian people from all directions.

"We can let our Soviet friends come up and say a few words!" Sukarno, who loves speeches, invited the Soviet delegation, which aroused applause from tens of thousands of Indonesians. These people may not necessarily love the Soviet Union so much, and regard the Soviets as friends! It was entirely because of Sukarno's temporary intention that he expressed his welcome to the Soviets.

Shelov was stunned. Unexpectedly, the Indonesian founder did not play according to common sense! But without hesitation, he stood up and walked to Sukarno. To be fair, Slov was a little nervous when facing so many people for the first time! The surroundings were filled with Indonesians, and the cheers made him, who liked to be quiet, feel a little uncomfortable.

But he was just not adapting, and could not reach the level of being nervous and speechless. It was very simple. He didn't understand ink words, and everything was translated. He cleared his throat and adjusted his position in the direction of the Indonesian Communist Party. Looking at the sickle and hammer flag, Selov began to express friendship with the tens of thousands of people present in Indonesia. At the beginning, he just expressed his gratitude to the scenery of Indonesia and the enthusiasm of the people. There was nothing attractive. The Indonesian reaction was also normal, and he expressed his reserved enthusiasm for Selov in the middle of the stadium.

But immediately Selov's speech suddenly changed and he entered the familiar field, and his voice became sharp. Although these Indonesians still don't understand, they can feel the change in Selov's emotions from the voice. "Today's Indonesia is no longer a weak country that imperialism can bully at will. Anyone with a little common sense will know that no strong country can rescue the awakened Indonesia again! The despicable conspiracy of some countries will not succeed. This is Indonesia, which has nearly over 100 million people, this is Indonesia, which has millions of square kilometers of land! This is Indonesia, which is undoubtedly the largest country in Southeast Asia. This is Indonesia, which is born with the potential of a great power! This is Indonesia, which is a country that has just become independent and qualified to be comparable to any country!"

"This is not a country that has declined so-called empire that can be suppressed by the sun without setting. Indonesia is a great power, a great power that can be on par with any country!" Selov shouted at the top of his lungs, "No one can limit the unity and unity of Indonesians..."

When the translator next to him completed the complete translation of Selov's words, the entire stadium was in full bloom, and everyone shouted slogans to express their recognition of Selov's speech. It was very simple! Selov was the first foreign official to endorse the Greater Indonesianism in front of tens of thousands of Indonesians. The warm atmosphere was no less than when Sukarno's speech just now. People shouted the slogan of long live friendship and expressed their gratitude to Selov!

"General Selov, you have become a friend of the Indonesian people!" Sukarno walked up with a smile. As Sukarno, who boasted of revolutionaries, liked Selov's speech very much, especially the last sentence! Selov's face changed. An old friend of the Indonesian people? He doesn't like this title very much! (To be continued.)
