Chapter 248 Coup

Suharto's fall came faster than expected. When Prabowo was dismantled and his head was hanging high on the tree in the Free Aceh movement that claimed that the ambush was successful, senior officials of Indonesian military regions suddenly received an order to gather in Jakarta to participate in the so-called countermeasures meeting to deal with the deterioration of the situation in Aceh. The leaders of these military regions were not very interested, but Commander-in-Chief Verato asked them to participate in this high-level defense meeting in the name of the president, which made everyone feel excited whether President Suharto had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to examine the loyalty of the army.

Although Suharto was old and weak, there were many negative rumors about him recently, and it was no secret to discuss whether he would step down in Indonesia. However, as the supreme leader who has long strictly controlled the army, most of these military commanders were trained by Suharto. Although many people had some ideas, they still had a glimmer of hope for Suharto, so almost all of them went to Jakarta to attend the meeting in person.

But when they first arrived at a military camp in the outskirts of Jakarta, before they could sit down, the chief Viranto, who used to smile and have no airs, did not send the usual fine wine and delicacies, but the black guns in the hands of a group of soldiers! On May 20 the same day, Suharto, who was both internal and external, ordered the army to suppress the demonstrations of students at Tricordia University in Jakarta. Four college students were shot dead in the conflict. The emotions of the demonstrators were completely ignited, and Jakarta citizens finally couldn't suppress their anger and took to the streets to conduct large-scale demonstrations.

Then the situation took a sharp turn. What is surprising is that Indonesian soldiers who were originally sent to execute the order to suppress the enemy suddenly changed flags and joined the demonstration team at the time of the battle. A group of military troops quickly controlled the city's traffic routes, TV stations, radio and other media. The organizers of the demonstration woke up as soon as they dreamed, and the Indonesian military couped! They seized this opportunity and mobilized the masses to surround the Congress, the Presidential Office and other government centers. By this night, a group of moderate MPs within the ruling professional group also issued a declaration of departing from the party, criticizing Suharto's various bad deeds, and introduced Vice President Habibi as the leader, proclaiming that they would stand on the side of the people and demanded Suharto's resignation immediately!

Then, the highest commander of the Indonesian armed forces, Viranto, also appeared on Indonesian state television, saying that the Indonesian army was in line with the times and refused to accept orders to suppress the people of demonstrations. He also urged the national leaders to take the corresponding responsibilities, voluntarily resign and dissolve the parliament and government to prepare for the election. This statement caused a thousand waves, and the demonstrators were ecstatic, which meant that Suharto's biggest pillar, the army, finally announced that it had turned against him.

Under tremendous pressure, Suharto, who was surrounded by enemies, finally officially announced his resignation as president two days later, and announced his agreement to form a temporary transitional government with Habibi and others, and to dissolve the parliament and hold a general election three months later. At this point, Virato and Habibi's forced palace operation was a complete success. Suharto, who had been dominating the political arena for more than 30 years, lost his power overnight and stepped down in disgrace, becoming the highest head of state to lose his post in the Asian financial storm.

In order to fulfill the secret agreement with the Americans and to calm domestic and international public opinion, the newly appointed President Habibi announced the country's national reconciliation negotiations the day before yesterday, and first of all, it was necessary to stop the unpopular riots. Viranto led his army to enter the most serious areas to restore order and appease the Chinese. At the same time, he announced a national amnesty, which would not blame the past for armed conflicts in Bali, Aceh, East Timor and other regions in the previous stage. The government forces unilaterally ceasefire, hoping that the ** armed forces could send representatives to contact the government to negotiate issues such as ceasefire and regional autonomy.

After this combination of punches, the situation in Indonesia finally began to stabilize. Especially after live TV broadcasting, Viranto sent military police troops to surround Suharto's residence, and after all his family members were placed under house arrest, Indonesia applauded. Habibi also eliminated the roots and liquidated all the Suharto family's property in Indonesia, confiscated all the state treasury. This not only alleviated the central government's financial difficulties, but also completely cut off the source of funds for Suharto's possible comeback. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone. Soon, the tense atmosphere in Indonesia gradually cooled down. The United States, Europe and other countries also reciprocated. The IMF announced that in view of the effective implementation of the austerity plan of the new Indonesian government, it promised to allocate the remaining 20.5 billion US dollars to the new Indonesian government in a timely manner.

On the night when the amnesty order was issued, Yang Xing, Yu Aojun and others could finally let go and feel relieved. Indonesia's action was successful. On a deserted beach in Jakarta Port, Yu Aojun and his subordinates were preparing to bid farewell to the local Chinese and returned home. These locals had been saved by their lives. When they heard that they were leaving, they were all holding them with tears in their eyes and refused to let go for a long time. Yu Aojun was in a bad spirit. The continuous battles and the huge psychological pressure brought by the final announcement of the "Burning of Jade and Stone" order made her, who had been trained in spies for many years, feel like she was about to collapse.

But seeing the gratitude on the faces of the Indonesian Chinese whom she had tried her best to protect made her feel that her efforts these days were finally in vain. It also helped the Indonesian Chinese to find confidence and be able to deal with greater storms tenaciously, which is not in vain for Yang Xing and her efforts. You should know that winning the respect and belonging of these overseas wanderers for the motherland is exchanged for the lives of dozens of Indonesian Chinese young men who participated in the suicide bombing and the lives of more than a dozen soldiers under her!

Lin Bainian, chairman of the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce, held a veteran named Hu Cheng and cried. In order to protect his young daughter, the soldier used his body to block the attack of the thugs for more than 20 minutes. He was shocked for many days and still had needles on his head, wrapped in gauze, like a Indian Sikh. He was in a bad Chinese language and thanked Yu Aojun. "You gave us such a great favor. Do you really leave when you say it? Now you announce the amnesty and will not hold us accountable for the organization of the resistance of the armed forces. Look, it's almost dawn. You stay for a while, it's not too late to take it off before you get rid of your wounds!"

"It is because the light is coming that we, the group of people walking in the dark, must leave." The person who answered him was Yang Xing who appeared at some time. There were also a group of dark and ghostly subordinates behind him. They quickly established a warning circle around to separate Yang Xing from Lin Bainian and the others. Lin Bainian was shocked by Yang Xing's elusiveness, but he and Yang Xing had met before in Jakarta. After seeing him clearly, they thought about Yang Xing's words.

"After all, we are foreigners. We must not do it by killing people and setting fires everywhere in Indonesia. No government will allow us to have dangerous organizations like us in China. Moreover, dictators step down, and everyone's situation is much better. However, for the current government, Chinese people must keep their eyes open and listen to their words and observe their actions. The most important thing is 'people must rely on themselves'. Only when we Chinese unite and use their eyes for eyes for teeth for teeth can others respect us." Yang Xing's words made Lin Bainian think about it. Before the riot, Yang Xing would denounce him as an "angry youth", but these days he saw that the overall situation in Indonesia was turned over step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by word of the unstunning young man in front of him. Now he must carefully understand every word he says.

However, when Yu Aojun saw Yang Xing coming, he felt that the heavy burden on his shoulders was removed. When he felt relieved, he felt dizzy and weak all over, and he fell backwards. Fortunately, Yang Xing was very clear and his hands were almost holding her. He felt that her body and plump figure seemed to have become much lighter, and he couldn't help feeling guilty. He exchanged a few greetings with Lin Bainian and the others, especially the investment commitment of Lin Bainian and the Chinese business representatives of Indonesian Chinese businessmen to let Yang Xing control a large amount of overseas funds, which made him feel that his trip to Indonesia was fulfilled. Hurry up and withdraw when he saw it! In the shocking eyes of Lin Bainian and the others, Yang Xing and the others took the "Tianya" and "Haijiao" submarine, waving goodbye while preparing to dive into the sea, leaving an indelible impression on the Indonesian Chinese who were seeing off again!

As soon as he entered the cabin, Yu Aojun woke up, but his hand holding Yang Xing did not let go. Although this was a good omen for Yang Xing, he did not want to take advantage of others' danger. He raised Yu Aojun's delicate face and saw the little tears on her face, and his heart couldn't help but feel ache. However, Yu Aojun took the initiative to lean his face over. Yang Xing could not struggle when he smelled the fragrance of orchids and musk on her body, and let her print her petal-like lips on his lips.

After a long time, the two people who were panting with passionate kisses separated. Yu Aojun's face turned red like the morning glow, and he calmed down before he could tell the story quietly. "When I close my eyes, I can see the faces of those young Chinese who volunteered to play. The Cheng Yuncheng, who was the first to rush into the Indonesian military police headquarters in Jakarta, was from a wealthy family and was still studying in Guangzhou. His whole family was burned to death in his own home this time. This time I asked him if he knew the consequences of doing so. He said that when he was a child, he admired Tan Sitong in the Reform Movement of 1898. He read a lot of Tan Sitong's introductions in China. Tan had the opportunity to escape at that time, but he told the people who rescued him, 'The revolutions of various countries have never been heard of without sacrifice and bloodshed. Tan is not talented and is willing to bleed for the country's changes. Cheng Yuncheng said that he had nothing, so he wanted to be Tan Sitong in Indonesia to be the first person to bleed."

Yu Aojun said, gently unbuttoning the clothes, but when she touched Yang Xing's clothes with her hand, Yang Xing did not let her stop, although her trembling fingers revealed her nervousness. At this time, the liberation of the two of them could suppress the guilt in their hearts. Both of them knew that the "Burning of Jade and Stone" plan would become a nightmare that entangled them for many years, and those living young Chinese faces would always be engraved in their hearts. Even if the two had a clear conscience, for the benefit of most people, it would always be an unsolvable answer to damage the happiness of some people or even their lives.
