Chapter 581: Indonesia is over (three more changes)

Chapter 581
The forces of Wiranto and Prabowo really should not be underestimated. In the 27 provinces of Indonesia, the chiefs of 20 provinces have been drawn into their camp. Wiranto has 12 provinces to support each. Prabowo has eight. And the cabinet members in the parliament have almost become Wiranto and Prabowo people. In other words, the connections and influence that Suharto had been in for many years were almost divided by the two of them.
Now, Indonesia has been notified for decades that Suharto, who is like an emperor, has been pulled down. In order to stabilize Indonesia, which was in the midst of the storm, Habibie temporarily served as the president. This result is determined by many aspects. First, although Habibie and Suharto are not related, they love the father and son, and Suharto originally decided to let Habibie be his successor. Although Suharto's forces have been divided by Wiranto and Prabowo, there are still three pounds of nails in the broken ship, with Suharto's support, Habibi is not weak.
On the other hand, Indonesia now is like a mess that will collapse at any time. If Wahid takes the presidency immediately after Suharto’s resignation, he will have to face all the contradictions in Indonesia, including those who have tried. Executives and generals, and civilians who have accumulated strong grievances due to the economic recession. At that time, Wahid might become a target.
Therefore, under Zhou Hao's instruction, Wahid did not immediately go to fight for the position of president, and those members of the Congress, because of the orders of Wiranto and Prabowo, expressed a tacit attitude towards the interim president of Habibie.
Whether it is the original history or the present, Habibie has become a shield for the next president, acting as a transitional role. Although Habibie is the president now, the power of the government and the power of the army are not in his hands, and he is only a nominal puppet. Moreover, the Indonesian government has passed a resolution, deciding to hold a general election in half a year.
The general election six months later is the ultimate goal of Wahid and Zhou Hao.
In accordance with the orders of the "First Army", Wiranto and Prabowo both personally invited the governors of a province who supported them to Jakarta. The governors of the twenty provinces did not know that Wiranto and Prabowo were under control. They thought that they were going to fight for the president, so they were invited to help out.
When the agreed time came, the governors who were most of the military generals came to Jakarta one after another.
I saw Wiranto's mansion side, one after another high-end Mercedes-Benz cars came in.
"Huh? How come the guards of General Wiranto are so face-to-face, all of them have been replaced before?" The governor of East Sumatra saw that the soldiers and guards in the mansion were completely different from those he had seen before, and he wondered. The way.
The governor of Banten said: "This is also normal. The struggle between General Wiranto and Prabowo may have reached a fierce stage. In the past, it was difficult to guarantee that there were no undercover agents for Prabowo among the guards. All personnel were rotated. Once again, it will be safer."
The rest of the people nodded when they heard this. When they were about to walk into the inner room, the soldiers in front of the door said grimly: "Sorry, everyone, in view of the safety of the generals, I can only let you in. Bodyguards and guards, please stay outside."
"What does this mean, doesn't the general believe us yet?" the governor of West Nusa Tenggara said dissatisfied.
The soldier was still expressionless: "I'm sorry, this is the command of the general, please be considerate. Because the general has been assassinated no less than ten times in just five or six days, we have to strengthen our defense. "
Although they were still a little dissatisfied, they also knew that Wiranto’s request was understandable. Moreover, they had hoped to continue to be their own emperor of the territory after the change of president, so they didn’t dare to go against Wiranto, so they had to let His bodyguard and entourage stayed outside, and he walked in under the leadership of Wiranto.
There was a special conference room in the mansion, and all the twelve governors were brought over, and Wiranto had already been sitting there waiting for them. In the conference room, there were more than a dozen guards with a cold look. Everyone thought that Wiranto had arranged so many people to ensure the safety of this secret meeting, so they didn't care much.
Among these governors, a few of them are still old comrades who have a deep friendship with Wiranto. This time they meet, they are naturally indispensable. At the same time, these people are also expressing to others that their friendship with Wiranto is unusual.
They sat down one after another, and the governor of East Sumatra smiled and said, "General Wiranto, now Suharto’s old stuff has been taken down. The position of president is yours. I’m here. Congratulations first."
Others also flattered Wiranto, and the Governor of Banten over there also said: "Although Habibi is now the temporary president, the kid has always been aspiring and talented. If it weren't for Suharto's full support of him, He counts as something. However, in the presidential election six months later, he can no longer help him to pick up the bargain. Don't worry, general, we will definitely support you as president!"
"Thank you everyone for your deep friendship." Wiranto smiled, but he was embarrassed in his heart.
After a pause, he said: "However, Indonesia is now full of internal and external troubles. Internally, due to the rapid regression of the national economy due to the financial turmoil, the people are very dissatisfied with our government, and there is no peace in East Timor. Those people always want to be independent. Externally, after the previous conflict, our country’s international image has been greatly affected. Countries are unwilling to provide us with assistance, and some even intend to sanction us."
The people present know the conditions of their country very well, but they don't really care. As long as they can keep their power and wealth, everything else is not important to them. Moreover, they believed that since Wiranto was interested in the presidential position, he must have a corresponding countermeasure on how to govern Indonesia, so they kept looking at him without saying a word.
Sure enough, Wiranto continued: "If you want Indonesia to come out of this predicament, I think the most urgent thing is to resolve domestic contradictions. If you want to get rid of the outside world, you must first settle in."
The Governor of Banten quickly pleased: "The general is right. The general must have thought of a way. Just say it, we will try our best to cooperate."
"It's best if you are willing to cooperate." Wiranto smiled: "I know that because of Suharto's perverse actions over the past few decades, the people in China are very dissatisfied with him, and even reject military participation in politics. I think that military participation in politics does have a lot of drawbacks. Therefore, in order for Indonesia to develop smoothly, I would like to make recommendations to the Congress to ban military personnel from serving as senior officials and curb the trend of military dictatorship."
Hearing Wiranto’s words, all the twelve governors present were shocked, because nine of them were also commanders of the local army, and Wiranto’s point of view was obviously to seize their power.
"General, what do you mean is that you don't plan to run for president anymore?" the governor of East Sumatra asked, squinting.
"Yes." Wiranto said lightly: "I have decided to do my best to support Wahid's presidential campaign."
The Governor of Banten suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a calm face: "General, you brought us all here to talk about this?"
Wiranto nodded, and listened to the Governor of Banten angrily said: "Huh! Unexpectedly, we would support you for such a trash. Well, please forgive me for not accompanying me anymore. I will go to Prabowo There, support him as president!"
Others nodded one after another, but saw Wiranto smile and shook his head: "It's useless, Prabowo, like me, will do everything possible to support Wahid, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Wahid, who is that guy who can make you and Prabowo both give up the presidency and support him?" The governor of East Sumatra asked in surprise.
Wiranto did not answer, but shook his head slowly. At this time, he saw the look on the faces of his old comrades-in-arms change, and said: "A friend, I will advise you to one game. Don't bother to go back to your respective jurisdictions, because now, yours I am afraid that both local government and military power have changed hands."
"Nonsense, the people under me are my confidantes. With them, others want to confuse my power unless he destroys all my troops!" The governor of Banten sneered.
Wiranto hated iron and steel with a smile: "Hehe, don't be so naive. Think about it for yourself, as long as you are not there, they can take your place, and you say they will help you protect your power. Huh? Be sober, it is your men who seize your power!"
From the moment they entered Jakarta, their jurisdiction was destined to no longer belong to them. Wiranto knew that the political power and military power of these twelve provinces should now fall under the control of the "First Army" as expected, and the same is true for Prabowo. The eight provinces have the same fate. .
As for the remaining seven provinces, although they do not support Wiranto or Prabowo, Wiranto knows that if they were not bought by heavy profits, they have already invested in Wahid. It was removed by the "first army" in other ways.
Thinking of this, Wiranto couldn't help sighing in his heart: "It's over, our country is going to fall into the hands of those Chinese, and our Indonesia is going to be over."
