Chapter 55 Who to support

The law of the jungle is the law of survival that human society must abide by. From competition between countries and regimes to competition between enterprises and between people, we must follow the law of the jungle. As for the end of the competition, it depends entirely on their own strength, wisdom and fortune.

The outbreak of the Korean War and the United States sent the Seventh Fleet to the Taiwan Strait, which reduced the military pressure on Malaya to Indonesia. However, Malaya still had an advantage on aircraft and warships. With the complete occupation of Sumatra, the Malayan army directly posed a huge threat to Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, on Java, making Indonesia unable to take the initiative in negotiations.

Malaya is not active in negotiations, and it is suspended every three days and suspended every five days. Although Indonesia is eager to take back the territory of Sumatra and Kalimantan, its strength is not good and there is no weight in what it says. More than a month has passed, and the negotiations are still progressing.

At the end of July 1950, Indonesian President Sukarno fell seriously ill. Indonesia's left and right wing forces believed that Sukarno would soon die and were actively preparing for the situation. The right-wing forces secretly became a general committee and stepped up the planning to usurp the power and eliminate the left-wing forces. The left was not willing to be outdone, expanded his strength, and prepared to fight back.

With strong enemies outside and factional struggles inside, the domestic situation in Indonesia has become complicated. The right-wing military group has had secret contacts with Malaya several times, wanting to seek support and overthrow the Sukarno regime. Malaya has adopted an unsupported, non-opposed, and ambiguous attitude. Despite this, the right-wing group believes that Malaya is close to Britain and the United States based on its own judgment and will inevitably hate the Indonesian Communist Party, so they feel that if the incident is uprising, Malaya will definitely support them.

At this moment, an anti-China and anti-China trend suddenly emerged in Indonesia. At first, there were some events, but it became more and more intense. On August 20, 1950, the anti-China wave reached its peak. They regarded the Chinese who had been sweating for Indonesia's national independence and economic development for generations, and the Chinese were enemies, and in hundreds of towns in Indonesia. The thugs brutally persecuted and ravaged the overseas Chinese and the Chinese. They burned the houses of the overseas Chinese, plundered the property of the overseas Chinese, closed the overseas Chinese community and schools, occupied the overseas Chinese shops, and caused countless overseas Chinese to lose their money, displaced, and fell into a desperate situation in their survival. What makes people feel indignant is that these thugs were actually mixed with military and police.

When the anti-China wave first began, the Malayan government immediately negotiated, protested and exposed. It also warned the Indonesian government that if the situation cannot be calmed down as soon as possible, the Malayan government will start a campaign to protect overseas Chinese, and it is not ruled out that the possibility of armed protection of overseas Chinese is not ruled out.

On August 21, 1950, the Malayan government immediately began an armed military operation to protect overseas Chinese immediately, considering that the Indonesian government was unable to stop the development of anti-China situation and believed that the anti-China operation was acquiesced and supported by the Indonesian government.

On August 22, the Malayan army launched another offensive on Kalimantan Island. It occupied the entire Kalimantan Island in just two days and wiped out the remaining Indonesian army. At the same time, four Malayan warships approached Java Island and bombarded the fortifications on the shore of the Indonesian army. The plane was also ordered to take off and violently bombarded the Indonesian government agencies in Jakarta fortifications for several consecutive days.

Such resolute and fierce military actions caught the Indonesian government off guard, and both Sukarno, the left and right forces were shocked. The left accused the right of planning the anti-China riot to anger Malaya and seize power in the chaos. The right wing firmly denied it and believed that the riot was first initiated by the left wing, with the purpose of taking the opportunity to suppress the strength of the right wing.

As the offensive in Malaya became more and more fierce, the Indonesian government hurriedly made a decision to move the organization and called for a ceasefire immediately, and the Indonesian government was able to control the situation immediately. This time, in dealing with Malaya's offense, the division between the two domestic forces in Indonesia was fully demonstrated. No side wanted to lose its strength in the conflict with Malaya and gain a disadvantage in seizing power, so they adopted a negative attitude towards resisting Malaya's offense.

On August 25, the Malayan government proposed conditions for ceasefire: First, immediately stop the anti-China riots in Indonesia and compensate the property losses suffered by the Chinese; Second, the Chinese must release the overseas Chinese who request to leave Indonesia and do not stop them. Malayan will send ships to pick them up; Third, hand over the murderer and thugs, and compensate the victims, the Chinese...

On August 26, the Malayan army continued to attack and successfully landed in Urongkulon, the southwest corner of Java Island, with the front of the troops pointing to Jakarta.

On midnight on August 29, the Indonesian government moved to Sularkata, riots broke out. The pro-Sukarno officer headed by Lieutenant Colonel Ondong, the battalion commander of the Indonesian President's Guard Force, with the support and cooperation of the Indonesian Communist Party, arrested and executed six army generals and an officer in Sularkata, including Army Commander Yani, in Sularkata, with the support and cooperation of the Indonesian Communist Party, on the grounds that a "General Committee" in the army gathered a large number of troops in Sularkata and conspired to launch a military coup to overthrow President Sularkata. Sularkata's political enemy, Minister of Defense and Security Coordination, was the top spot in the arrest list, but he escaped by chance. His young daughter was murdered by chance.

This emergencies gave the military group headed by Nassutian an excuse to openly anti-communist, triggering a large-scale suppression of the Communist Party. On September 1, Army Major General Suharto, then commander of the Strategic Reserve Command, mobilized a large number of troops to control the temporary capital Sularkata. The whole city was martial law all night, with military and constitutional consorts. The army controlled newspapers and radio stations launched a propaganda offensive, and they tried their best to incite six army generals and consuls in the "September 30 Incident".

Some political parties and groups under the control of the military authorities also publicly accused the Indonesian Communist Party of China as the mastermind of the "September 30th Incident". On September 2, the People's Daily and the Loyalty Newspapers of the Central Committee of the Indonesian Communist Party of China were banned from issuance. On September 3, the Indonesian state news agency Antara was blocked and was then controlled by the military. From September 8 to 10, the headquarters offices of the Indonesian Communist Party, the People's Youth League, the All-Indonesian Central Trade Union and the Indonesian Women's Sports Association were successively destroyed.
