Chapter five hundred and thirty-one downwind smiling

At this time, a special force disembarked from the port of Jakarta. The leader was wearing a green military uniform. The eaves on his shoulders were the abbreviation of the National Security Council and the letters of the KGB. Those who had a little understanding of various Soviet armed forces understood that the uniform of this color plus the abbreviation of the eaves indicated that this person belonged to the Soviet KGB border defense force. The person who came down was in his forties and looked very ordinary. The rank of the colonel showed that he was also a successful person in the army. Colonel Ashpov, a division-level staff member of the Far Eastern Border Defense Military Region of the KGB Red Flag.

This is a century full of armed conflict. As the big brother of the socialist camp, Moscow has a strong interest in sending professionals to intervene in regional disputes. Therefore, from the Whampoa Military Academy outside Wuyang City, to the Iberian Peninsula, and to the depths of the Southeast Asian tropical rainforest, people often inadvertently appear a group of special characters who act mysteriously but speak very much. Regardless of their achievements, the title of "Soviet Military Advisor" once made them proud.

After Serov discussed with the Ministry of Defense, the two departments sent a huge Soviet advisory group, with a total of 6,000 people, involving 6 naval and air force and border defense forces. This suggestion almost instantly touched the Ministry of Defense. The Soviet Union itself had a tradition of sending advisory groups to interfere in operations, and this suggestion could be said to be just right.

"Minister Handayani, our General Political Commissar of the National Security Council, let me bring warm greetings to my friends." After Colonel Ashpov arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he met the Minister of Internal Affairs, who was already an Indonesian giant.

"General Selov is polite, and I will also take me to greet him. Our friendship will continue." Handayani laughed loudly. He was the leader of the invitation to the Soviet Union to send military advisers. And with the consent of President Sukarno, he almost did not hesitate to agree. This is not how relieved President Sukarno is of the peace of mind about the Soviet Union, but that he has no choice. Furthermore, President Sukarno also hopes that the Soviet Union's power will come in and balance China's influence. It is always bad to be close to a country one-sidedly, and he hopes that the influence of the Soviet Union and China will be relatively balanced.

"Thank you!" Colonel Ashpov nodded and introduced in detail the situation of the Soviet military advisory group. Serov and the Ministry of Defense discussed that a military advisory group was formed with soldiers from Central Asia and sent ethnic minority soldiers abroad to do this job. Of course, this is to hope that the population of ethnic minorities will grow slowly. In addition, the ethnic proportions of the Soviet Union will be more balanced, and the effect is still very significant. Many Soviet consultants from Egypt have obtained certificates from overseas Chinese every year.

Of course, in front of Handayani, this is another set of rhetoric. "In order to prevent conflicts between Soviet advisers and Indonesian soldiers and people due to different personal habits, the Soviet Union sought out the country to find ethnic groups with similar habits as members of the consultants. They used to believe in peace religion, and all kinds of habits should be similar to Indonesia."

Handayani said that Selov had thought of everything for Indonesia and repeatedly thanked the Soviet friends for their help. The first job when Soviet military advisers arrived at the local area was often spent a lot of energy to convince the country's leaders to strictly enforce military discipline and strengthen command. However, as time went by, they gradually turned a blind eye to the loose traditions formed by these countries over the years.

Colonel Alshipov also knew this, so he introduced the responsibilities of military discipline to Handayani in detail. "I am the garrison representative of the KGB side. Of course, the Soviet advisory group actually has its own military legal organization. My partner of the General Administration of Military Administration mainly clarifies responsibilities with the military legal organization of the Red Army. They prevent members of the advisory group from violating military discipline, and we prevent them from violating military discipline. If such a thing happens, Chairman Selov means to let the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs handle it themselves. In principle, we advocate freedom of love, but we must also curb crimes. We are willing to supervise this with the comrades of the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

In the following days, the Soviet advisory team was warmly welcomed by Indonesian President Sukarno in Jakarta. The military advisory team was ordered to be from the Soviet General Staff, and the head of the military advisory team was Lieutenant General Ivashko. President Sukarno also inspected the military advisory team to aid India in the square of the Palace of Independence and gave the Soviet Union a high evaluation of this move.

The news that the Soviet military power appeared in Indonesia is not a secret. Although the US intelligence network in Indonesia has suffered a heavy blow, it cannot withstand the Soviet Union's unconcealed landing. Even a pig knows that the Soviet military power has entered Indonesia. President Linden Johnson and Defense Minister Robert McNamara, and the new CIA director Richard Helms, discussed the Soviet military power entering Indonesia.

Richard Helms was the first expert director to be promoted from a secret agent to be internally produced. After the KGB had always rubbed US intelligence agencies on the ground in recent years, President Linden and Johnson felt that like the KGB president of the Soviet Union, he should find someone who grew up from an intelligence organization to lead the CIA.

"The loss of Indonesia has greatly affected our Southeast Asian strategy." Lyndon Johnson smiled bitterly. The domino theory mentioned by President Kennedy was the worst result of the United States' defeat in Southeast Asia. But no senior American executive hoped that the situation would become a reality. From the map, it is known that Indonesia accounts for almost half of the entire Southeast Asia. The status is the most important. If the entire country is pro-Soviet, it can confront Australia when it goes south, and it can suppress Malaysia when it goes west.

Because Indonesia's strength is getting stronger and stronger, the CIA took the risk of planning a coup in Indonesia, but was eventually taught by the Soviet Union's General Security Political Commissar, which also led to the resignation of the CIA's premiere.

"In this way, we must curb the North Vietnamese offensive. If we lose Indonesia and then South Vietnam, the road to the south will open. At that time, North Vietnam and Indonesia will easily eliminate Malaysia, which is surrounded by the middle. We will lose the entire Southeast Asia." Defense Minister Robert McNamara said with a tough stance.

Originally, after more than a year of war, the US anti-war forces should have been in a relatively inflated state. However, because the news that Indonesia joined the Soviet group had been propaganda, it was no longer an assumption that the United States had been propaganda lost Southeast Asia, but a possible result. Therefore, the US main combat power has increased its voice, and the two parties also remained consistent in the position of the Vietnam War, continuing to expand their investment in the Vietnam War. At the same time, using Malaysia as a reserve base to support the US troops on the Vietnam battlefield. Therefore, the troops invested not only did not shrink, but also increased the 80,000 US troops in Malaysia, and military expenditure increased again.

"But we cannot attack Indonesia. Indonesia's basic power is much stronger than North Vietnam. It has a population of over 100 million and is still very anti-American. If we attack Indonesia, it may take more than 500,000 force to form, and the preparation time is even longer than that of Vietnam on the 6th." CIA Director Richard Helms said in a very embarrassing manner, "In this way, we have to support millions of American troops on both battlefields to fight, which is a huge test for our economy."

This is the importance of Indonesia. Richard Helms, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, did not know that the current situation of the United States can be described in a popular language, that is, if you can't catch up, you can't catch up step by step. From this point of view, the domino theory is valid. Once the Soviet group strengthens its strength, the United States will first feel the pressure. This has nothing to do with the separation of the two countries by an ocean. Modern society can no longer use the geography of the Age of Discovery to build politics.

"So what if the Soviet military advisers have entered Indonesia? They dare to attack our troops in Malaysia? Our troops are 80,000, and their so-called advisers are less than 10,000." Defense Minister Robert McNamara disagreed. His ideas are very reasonable, but on the other hand, the United States does not dare to take the initiative to attack Indonesia with Soviet power. The United States and the Soviet Union have been avoiding formal conflicts with each other, otherwise they would have started during the Korean War and there would be no need to wait until today.

"If we keep this cold confrontation, or the border infiltration between Malaysia and Indonesia, there is no problem. We must not have military conflicts with the Soviet Union." Linden Johnson said tiredly. Robert McNamara and Richard Helms nodded, and they also knew what this meant.

Of course, newspapers in the free country will not miss this opportunity, not to mention that this is an encouragement to the main combat forces. So there are large-scale reports on the news that the Soviet military advisory group entered Indonesia in detail to show the correctness of the United States entering the Vietnam battlefield. At the same time, they criticized the Soviet Union's policies and warned the Soviet Union to send military forces into Southeast Asia at this time, and there is a risk of accidental fire. I hope the Soviet government and people will not miscalculate the United States' military power.

"Oh, I've been in the newspaper? This shows that the United States' attitude towards our military advisory group entering Indonesia is limited to verbal tricks." In front of his subordinates, Selov spread his hands and said helplessly, "In the next stage, small-scale harassment of Malaysia will be carried out to see if the United States increases its military strength in Malaysia. If not, we can test the bottom line of the United States."
