Chapter 52 Split Enterprise

On April 15, 1950, Wu Ming held an important military meeting at the Presidential Office. Secretary of State Zhao Xiaomei, Foreign Minister Zheng Pingru, Minister of National Defense Liu Cheng, Military Academy Principal Xiao Minghua returned from illness, Director of the Intelligence Bureau Chen Yang, and senior officers above all military divisions attended the meeting.

Wu Ming squinted his eyes and looked at the big map on the wall for a long time without saying anything. The atmosphere in the venue seemed solemn and tense.

"What did you see from the map?" Wu Ming slowly turned around and said to everyone.

"When the map is enlarged, it looks like our country's location is very strange." Foreign Minister Zheng Pingru has a very good personal relationship with Wu Ming, so when everyone didn't know how to answer, she said with a smile.

"Don't laugh!" Wu Ming shook his head helplessly, "I specially created this solemn atmosphere, which will be destroyed by you all at once."

"President, you are playing deeply again. Just say anything, and you must make everyone confused." Zhao Xiaomei said: "Since that's the case, everyone will say it. If you say it wrong, you won't hit you."

"Then let me talk first!" Xiao Minghua scratched his head and said tentatively: "From this specially made map, our country's geographical location is vaguely restricted by Indonesia. Sumatra, Bangka, Mangal, and Southern Kalimantan Island are surrounded by three sides. Even if the territory of Northern Kalimantan is recovered, our country still seems to be in a disadvantageous position. In the Strait of Malacca, my country and Indonesia are formed, and confrontation and conflicts in the future may be inevitable."

Liu Cheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's right, Sumatra is adjacent to Singapore. If the two countries form a confrontation, Singapore will concentrate our country's scientific research and education institutions. It will inevitably involve a lot of our troops."

Some people started to rush to the death, and some officers began to rush to the death. They didn't like the map, and they expressed their opinions, all of whom expressed concern and anxiety about Malaya's geographical location and future development.

"Look, let him scent, this is the effect he wants." Zheng Pingru turned his head and said softly to Zhao Xiaomei.

"Your sensation is not bad, you can see his intentions at once." Zhao Xiaomei whined at the direction of Wu Ming, who was smiling, "Look, you are happy with him, a militant."

Well, Wu Ming nodded with gratitude and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He stood up and walked to the map, pointed at the guide and said, "Everyone is very accurate. The situation is indeed not optimistic. Indonesia has always opposed it, hostile to our country, interfered in our internal affairs, and supported the rebels. If we do not break this unfavorable situation, the future economic development and military defense will be restrained. Therefore, this battle to recover the territory must be paid enough attention to it in order to expand survival and Space for development. We must be mentally prepared not to be afraid of big wars. If we really find evidence that Indonesia is doing something wrong in the battle to recover Kalimantan, we will not hesitate to break up with Indonesia and start a formal war. Compared with Indonesia, we have more development for a year, as well as the support and assistance of the United States, and a brave and fearless army of war. You are all soldiers and expanding territory for the country. What a great honor. Now all aspects are beneficial to me. The war is the right time."

"There is intelligence that Indonesia is helping the separatists in Kalimantan prepare for military operations against us." Chen Yang said expressionlessly: "It should not be difficult to want evidence, but can Congress approve the military's request for a war zone?"

"This is my business." Wu Ming walked back to his seat and said relaxedly: "Mr. Chen and I communicated separately. If I do more work as a member of parliament, I think there should be no problem. Now that the territory is regained and the tune of unifying Malaya is singing so high. Do they have the nerve to object?"

"But your work will be aggravated." Wu Ming said to Chen Yang seriously: "You must keep an eye on the Malay Communist Party. You cannot let them talk nonsense, let alone collude with foreign forces. Stable. I need a stable rear."

"I understand." Chen Yang said simply and simply.

"President, I propose to establish a front-line command in Singapore, which can be claimed to be targeted at Kalimantan Island. Once war begins, our army can go directly from Singapore to Sumatra." Liu Cheng suggested.

"One command center and two staff teams, so that our army can better coordinate on the two battlefields. I agree with Liu Cheng's suggestion." Xiao Minghua agreed.

"Yes, but we need to distinguish between the primary and secondary, which battlefield should be urgent and which battlefield should be slow, and we must master it well." Wu Ming also agreed, "Time does not wait for anyone. On May 1st, we must launch an attack to strive to resolve the problem within one month."

"Tell everyone that the US government is very annoyed by Indonesia's recent actions and expressed its full support for our country's efforts to unify, including the upgrade of military operations." Secretary of State Zhao Xiaomei said: "A new batch of aid weapons have set off and will arrive soon."

"The Americans are good at making grounds. They pay money and guns. We must bring Indonesia's prestige in Southeast Asia." Zheng Pingru said: "Indonesia is the most powerful among the countries in Southeast Asia, but in Indonesia, the right-wing forces of the military are also relatively strong. If we teach Indonesia a lesson, perhaps Indonesia's political situation will change as the United States hopes."

"Without it has not changed and has not yet obtained the understanding and sympathy of the United States, we must seize the opportunity to carry out this war." Wu Ming sneered: "There can only be one tiger in Southeast Asia, and that is us."

"The political work after the war must be done well." Wu Ming turned to Zhao Xiaomei and others and said, "Xiaomei, Pingru, Chenyang, this is your job."

On May 1, 1950, 40,000 Malayan Defense Forces took a US warship and, under the cover of the aircraft, suddenly landed on the Bay of Sribaga, and cut North Kalimantan into two halves with fierce land and air coordinated attacks, swept west with main forces, defeating the Malay rebels in succession, and clanking the important cities such as Longrama, Longyaga, and Longmulun.

On May 10, the Malayan Defense Forces encountered a joint blockade by Indonesian militants and Malayan rebels in Melaga. Under the fierce bombing of the air force, after a day of battle, the city was recovered. Several heads of Malayan separatist fled south and then entered Indonesia.

On May 12, President Wu Ming showed evidence of Indonesian armed forces openly participating in the Kalimantan war in parliament, and announced to the world that Indonesia brazenly interfered in Malaya's internal affairs, supported the rebels, and obstructed the great cause of unification of Malaya. He also issued a serious warning to Indonesia, requiring Indonesian armed forces to withdraw from the Malayan territory of North Kalimantan within 48 hours and extradite separatists to Malaya, otherwise the two countries would enter a state of war. Subsequently, the parliament voted to pass Wu Ming's proposal, and finally passed it to Indonesia through spies.

Indonesia, which received the final spy, quickly gave a clear reply, expressing support for the independence of Malayan separatists in Northern Kalimantan, and expressed indignation for the reliance on imperialist forces, ignoring the public opinion of North Kalimantan, and demanding that Malaya withdraw its troops immediately and hold a referendum in North Kalimantan to decide the ownership of North Kalimantan.

"This is your own way of death, but you can't blame others." Wu Ming slapped Indonesia's reply on the table and said with a sneer: "Are the independent elements of Chenyang, Aceh Province, Riau Province ready? You have to count it when you say it. We will start the attack after 48 hours, so that Indonesia will be in absent from now on."

"The independent elements of Free Aceh and Riau provinces have accepted the weapons we provide and promised that as soon as our army arrives, we will immediately cooperate with our army to drive away and eliminate the Indonesian army." Chen Yang handed a document to Wu Ming, "In addition, we have begun to send staff to East Timor and Irian Chaya provinces to establish contact with the independent elements. I believe that Indonesia will not have a good life in the future."

In the 11th century, the power of the Srivador Empire, based on the southern Palembang region, expanded to most parts of Sumatra, as well as other islands and continents. In 1377, the capital of the Srivador Kingdom fell into the hands of the Manobachel Empire in Java, and the kingdom was slumped in Sumatra. Since then, the European powers, initially Portugal, later the Netherlands and Britain, traded and fought with the principalities of the coastal areas of Sumatra, and Several fortresses were established here. The British-Dutch Treaty in 1824 and 1871 abolished Britain's sovereignty in Sumatra, while the Netherlands gradually included the inland areas in the 19th century through economic development and administrative means. However, the northern Aceh region had been barely controlled by the Netherlands in the early 20th century after 30 years of war. During World War II, Sumatra was occupied by the Japanese army and became part of the Republic of Indonesia in 1950.

Since then, the Sumatras have expressed their dissatisfaction with the central government from time to time, especially the independence tendency of Aceh and Riau provinces has become stronger and more obvious.

After the founding of Malaya, Wu Ming instructed the Intelligence Agency to start work against Indonesia to find its internal loopholes and defects. Although Indonesia, commonly known as the "Kilo Island Country", has a large territory, the situation in each province is different. In addition to Aceh and Riau provinces, there are also East Timor, Irian Chaya Province, Sulawesi Province and other places with independent tendencies. This time, Wu Ming captured a way to restrain Indonesia and split Indonesia and support anti-government elements. Without spending much effort on his own, Indonesia will be unable to maintain stability and unable to develop to compete with Malaya. If he does a good job, Indonesia's division will greatly weaken the power of the country.
