Chapter 354 [Fan ] The rules here are very simple, four words, Chinese first
The day after Zengmu Island was captured, the capital of Java, Jakarta.

Military building.

Defense Minister Sukarno sat at his desk with a gloomy face, silent.

It was not because of the incident on Zengmu Island. With Matthew’s “cooperation”, the Java government received news that the garrison on Zengmu Island repelled and severely damaged the Chinese guerrillas on Zengmu Island.

What worried Sukarno was the battle report he received this morning. The Papua Liberation Front got a self-propelled rocket launcher from somewhere and launched a surprise attack on a military camp, causing thousands of casualties and disbanding an entire brigade.

It would be fine if this brigade was the army of other warlords in Java, but the key point is that this brigade is the government army affiliated with their Javanese government. This is the basis for their military government to maintain its rule. Sukarno didn’t know how to confront President Sutoha later.

‘Dong dong dong~’

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Sukarno said impatiently.

“Mr. Defense Minister, we just received news from Papua that they found the body of the Mountain Brigade Commander Gunawan…”

Before the man could finish his words, Sukarno interrupted him: “Waste!”

The frightened man dared not speak again.

Sukarno took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down before continuing to ask, “Have the specific casualty figures come out?”

“At least nearly a thousand people died, and more than a thousand were injured…”

As Sukarno’s face grew increasingly gloomy, the man’s voice became lower and lower as he reported.

“The Russian Bear Country has already collapsed, why are those Russians still helping the Papua Liberation Front?”

Sukarno asked the question that confused him the most.

Jimmy has been using his connections with the KGB to assist the Papua Liberation Front for several months. Even though the Javanese have not fully evolved, they know that the people helping the Papua Liberation Front are Russians.

“…”

After hearing Sukarno’s question, the man standing in front of Sukarno remained silent, and he didn’t know the answer to the question either.

“Send a telegram to the people in Papua and tell them that I will give up some of my interests and then let the troops from other regions serve as the main force to fight against the Papua Liberation Front.”

Between money and the army, Sukarno chose the army.

The reason why the Javanese government agreed to allow warlords from other forces to get involved in Papua was to let these warlords bear the pressure on the government forces. As a result, these warlords were more greedy than each other.

When the benefits were being divided, everyone ran away faster than the other, but when the real war started, no one knew where they had hidden.

But the people of the Papua Liberation Front are also bad, and they just target and fight against the Javanese government forces.

Under such circumstances, Sukarno had no choice but to give up more benefits to mobilize the “initiative” of these warlords, let them rush to the front, and preserve the strength of the government army.

After all, only with a gun in hand can you make more money in the future.

“Okay, Mr. Defense Minister!”

Sukarno’s men immediately nodded in response.

After giving this instruction, Sukarno seemed to have thought of something and continued, “I always feel that something is wrong with Zengmu Island. I will send an investigation team to take a look in the next few days.”

“understand!”

After giving orders to his subordinates, Sukarno adjusted his military uniform slightly, then walked out of the office, got into a special car, and drove towards the Presidential Palace.

On the other side, inside the Presidential Palace.

Javanese President Sutoha also looked gloomy.

“In just one week, we have lost nearly 10 billion US dollars. Now you tell me that the country needs another 10 billion US dollars to survive this financial crisis?”

Sutoha stared at the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister standing in front of him with an extremely cold tone.

In the eyes of this dictator who has ruled Java for more than 20 years, the country’s money is his money. Now he has lost more than 10 billion US dollars, and he is still required to pay 10 billion US dollars, which is more painful to him than cutting flesh from his body.

“Mr. President, if the government does not take action and allows the situation to deteriorate, our country will lose more wealth.”

Javanese Prime Minister Vinita gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.

His job as prime minister was really too frustrating. Although he was nominally the second-in-command of Java, in reality he was just Sutoha’s economic adviser.

“Humph!”

Sutoha snorted coldly and was about to speak when the phone rang.

“Hey……”

Sutoha picked up the phone and said, “Bring him in.”

A few minutes later, Sukarno, led by Sutoha’s secretary, walked into Sutoha’s office.

“Hada, sit down.”

Sutoha’s attitude towards Sukarno, the military defense minister, was much better than that towards the prime minister and finance minister.

After all, Sukarno also had the army and was a shareholder of the Sutohar government, while the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance were just government employees, so their status was naturally very different.

It can be seen from Sukarno’s attitude towards the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance that he just nodded slightly to the two of them, then sat aside and watched these two senior government officials “stand in punishment” in front of Sutoha.

“What I need you to do now is very simple. The government has no money, but we still have to deal with the financial crisis.”

After a brief thought, Sutoha gave his order.

“…”

However, Sutoha’s order made the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister of the Javanese government feel dizzy.

But soon, Sutoha continued to add: “Although the government has no money, there are still a group of people in our country who are rich.”

When Sutoha said this, the eyes of Sukarno, Vinita and others flashed, and they instantly understood what Sutoha meant.

The most important reason why Sutoha was able to hold on to the presidency, besides controlling part of the military and gaining the support of America, was that he led a bloody looting against the Chinese in 1968.

That plunder not only allowed Sutoha to plunder a huge amount of wealth, allowing him to feed the major warlords in Java and paving the way for his dictatorship, but also led to the deaths of more than 100,000 Chinese.

This time, it is obvious that Sutoha is ready to “repeat the same old tricks” and continue to squeeze money from the Chinese community.

“Mr. President, what do you mean?”

Although Vinita understood what Sutoha meant, he still asked even though he knew the answer.

“Hada, I’ll give you a month to prepare. Is that enough?”

Sutoha ignored Vinita’s words, looked at Sukarno and asked with a smile.

“enough.”

Sukarno nodded slightly.

After decades of propaganda by Sutoha, the Javanese naturally hate the Chinese, believing that the Chinese have plundered their wealth and taken their jobs.

In Sukarno’s view, even a month of preparation time is not needed. As long as the word gets out, many Javanese people will take the initiative to act as thugs for their Javanese government.

“Vinita, can you do your work with peace of mind now?”

After instructing Sukarno, Sutoha looked at Vinita again and asked with a smile. Vinita did not speak, but just nodded slightly.

Immediately, Sutoha waved his hand, indicating that Vinita could leave.

“Hada, what do you want to see me about?”

After Vinita and others left, Sutoha looked at Sukarno and asked.

“News came from Papua…”

Sukarno said slowly.

“A bunch of trash!”

Sutoha gave the same response as Sukarno.

After a moment’s silence, Sutoha continued, “The gold mines in Papua are very important to us. Transfer the 17th Army in Borneo to Papua to protect the Grasberg gold mines.”

“Do you want to transfer our people over there?”

Sukarno frowned slightly.

“This is related to the support from America. The collapse of the Thai baht has also affected us in Java. What we have to do next must get the support of America so that we can land safely.”

Sutoha said slowly.

“…”

After hearing Sutoha’s words, Sukarno pondered for more than ten seconds, nodded slightly and said: “I understand.”

Next, Sutoha and Sukarno discussed for a whole morning. After lunch, Sukarno left the presidential palace.

At the same time, in Surabaya, another city in Java, in a seaside estate.

The owner of this manor is very famous in Java. He is the richest Chinese in Java and also the richest man in Java, the head of the Huang family, Huang Zhongan.

However, like many Chinese living in Java, he changed his name to a Javanese name, Hartono.

“President Li, I didn’t expect you to be so young.”

Huang Zhongan looked at Xiao Qi sitting in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile.

With the support of Lu Yaowen, Xiao Qi became the chairman of the Hongmen Nanyang branch. It took him more than half a year to completely control the branches in Java, Malaysia and Luzon. He became quite famous among the Chinese in Nanyang.

“Isn’t it that Mr. Hartono has had a hard time recently?”

Xiao Qi said this in a calm tone according to the script Lu Yaowen gave her.

“The name Hartono is just a temporary measure. President Li, please don’t take it seriously. You can call me Lao Huang or Zhong An, there is no problem.”

Huang Zhongan immediately corrected the way Xiaoqi addressed him.

Xiao Qi’s eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: “It turns out that Mr. Huang still remembers that he is Chinese.”

“President Li, although I am a third-generation Chinese, my blood is 100% Chinese.”

There was a flash of displeasure in Huang Zhongan’s eyes.

Although he was forced to change his Javanese name, he looked down on Javanese people in his heart.

“It would be best if Mr. Huang still remembers that he is Chinese, so that I can help you with peace of mind.”

After hearing Xiao Qi’s words, Huang Zhongan’s eyes moved: “Miss Li, I don’t understand what you mean.”

“Mr. Huang, you must have been hit hard after the Thai baht exploded, especially the Central Asia Bank under your name. It must have been a tough time recently, right?”

Xiao Qi asked.

Huang Zhongan’s family started out in the sugar industry. After more than a hundred years of operation, Huang Zhongan is now not only the sugar king of Java, but also the tobacco king and financial king. His personal assets exceed 20 billion US dollars, and his family assets have exceeded 30 billion US dollars.

It was also because of this that he was hit hard by the “Southeast Asian Crisis” that was triggered by Lu Yaowen.

“President Li, how are you going to help me?”

Huang Zhongan agreed with Xiaoqi’s words.

“Mr. Huang, you should also know that the detonation of the Thai baht has impacted the entire Southeast Asia. However, Java is different from other countries. Sutoha regards the military government as his own private property. It is absolutely impossible to ask him to pay to tide over this crisis.”

“If he doesn’t pay, Java’s economy will be severely impacted, and public resentment will boil over. Who do you think Sutoha will use as a scapegoat to shield him from the public’s resentment?”

Xiao Qi said slowly.

“what do you mean……”

Huang Zhongan obviously understood what Xiaoqi meant, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

“You are just a piece of fat meat in Sutoha’s eyes. Using you as scapegoats can not only let the Javanese vent their grievances, but also gain a huge amount of wealth. What do you think he will do?”

Xiao Qi was very patient and gave Huang Zhongan constant guidance.

“President Li, how are you going to help us?”

Although it was still the same question, this time, Huang Zhongan’s attitude was very respectful.

“Mr. Huang, your Huang family has been operating in Java for more than a hundred years, and your network of relationships is intricate. Unless the Javanese overturn the table, you can ignore all the little tricks of the Javanese.”

“What I can do for you is to make sure the Javanese dare not overturn the table.”

Xiao Qi looked at Huang Zhongan with sharp eyes and spoke slowly, word by word.

After hearing what Xiao Qi said, Huang Zhongan thought for more than ten seconds before asking, “What do you need our Huang family to do?”

“It’s simple. I need you…”

Xiao Qi slowly told Lu Yaowen about his plan.

“…”

After Huang Zhongan heard Lu Yaowen’s plan, he was silent for several minutes: “After this is done, our Huang family will go down this path to the end.”

“Mr. Huang, let me tell you a secret. The first capital to detonate the Thai baht is our Chinese capital. If you cooperate with us, not only will the Huang family’s assets not be affected, we can also help you take over other high-quality assets in Java, just like the Xie family and the Chen family did in Siam.”

“If you don’t cooperate with us, believe me, even $30 billion won’t be enough. This is not a threat, but a piece of advice.”

Xiao Qi’s tone remained calm, but Huang Zhongan’s eyes flickered violently.

Huang Zhongan is definitely a smart man who has been able to bring the Huang family to its current height. After Xiaoqi said this, he immediately got a lot of “intelligence”, and he immediately realized that all this “intelligence” was true.

Just a few seconds later, Huang Zhongan gave his choice: “President Li, our Huang family will fully cooperate with you.”

“Mr. Huang, congratulations on making the right choice.”

Xiao Qi nodded slightly, then got up and left.

“President Li, I’ll take you there.”

Huang Zhongan saw Xiaoqi’s actions and immediately stood up.

“Mr. Huang, what you need to do now is to mobilize the power of your Huang family immediately and fully cooperate with my actions.”

At this point, Xiao Qi suddenly remembered what Lu Yaowen had said to her: “In the future, the rules of Nanyang will become very simple, just four words: Chinese first.”
