Chapter 490: First and second in command

As expected by Zhou Hao, Zhao Rixin also hated Suharto.
Zhou Hao said to him: "God, I think that guy Suharto won't be able to jump for long. In the first half of this year, he will leave the presidency."
Zhao Rixin said in amazement: "Huh? Even if Indonesia's economy declined sharply because of the financial turmoil, Suharto already had control of the entire Indonesian army. At least in Indonesia, no one can oust him."
"God, Indonesia's problem is not due to this Asian financial crisis. Suharto has been in power for so many years, and the problems caused by the army's intervention in the political and economic fields have accumulated. Now Indonesia is like a gunpowder storehouse. Similarly, a small amount of sparks can cause a big explosion. The Indonesian government and people have hated the military. The most important thing is that Suharto’s generals are no longer loyal to him and want to seize his power. Well. Moreover, this explosion will definitely affect the Chinese in Indonesia."
Listening to Zhou Hao’s words, Zhao Rixin felt that he must have no purpose, so he laughed: "Xiaohao, I know that you have invested a lot of money in Indonesia’s stock and foreign exchange markets. Economically, what do you want to do? Indonesia can do it. After all, free trade cannot be prevented by anyone. However, if it interferes with Indonesia’s internal affairs, this is not easy to handle."
Seeing that Zhao Rixin didn't completely deny his actions during his words, Zhou Hao was immediately happy: "There is a show!"
China has always declared that it will never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, but in fact, when a country’s national power and influence has risen to a certain level, it is difficult to avoid interference in the internal affairs of other weak countries. It is just different. Countries have different attitudes. For example, the United States, the only superpower in the world, has blatantly and unscrupulously interfered in the internal affairs of other countries. As for China, it has great influence on some countries in Africa and the Middle East, but China cares more about public opinion.
To put it more straightforwardly, China’s methods should be more concealed. Even if they really want to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, they will never be caught. Moreover, they often have to find an upright excuse, just like ancient China. As in war, when the two opposing parties want to send troops to eradicate the other, they often have to pay attention to "being famous."
Although Zhao Rixin relied on his meritorious service from the battlefield, he climbed to this high position step by step. To put it bluntly, he was a military commander. However, after decades of rolling in the officialdom, Zhao Rixin was already very hot. So Zhou Hao followed his meaning and said: "Goddamn, as early as the 1911 Revolution and the War of Resistance Against Japan, overseas Chinese in Nanyang provided assistance to our country and donated a lot of materials and money. Now the overseas Chinese in Indonesia. We have been persecuted by the military government headed by Suharto all the time. We are both Chinese, so we can’t just stand by."
Zhao Rixin listened to Zhou Hao’s words, looked at him with admiration, and nodded at the same time:
Xiao Hao, what you said is the truth. Actually, we all want to help the overseas Chinese in Indonesia, but whenever we want to help, Suharto’s old all popped out and chirping, and we can’t interfere with their internal affairs."
While pondering, Zhao Rixin said to Zhou Hao: "Furthermore, after analysis by our experts, the political situation in Indonesia is indeed a bit unstable, and there is likely to be turmoil in Indonesia. I just don’t know that their current turmoil will affect us. Will it be an opportunity."
Zhao Rixin’s words largely represented the position of the central government, so Zhou Hao understood it at this time. In fact, China has long wanted to do something against Indonesia, but it has been hindered by Suharto’s obstruction and concerns about international public opinion. , So it’s not easy to act, and as long as there is a chance, the country will never let it go.
"Daddy, although Indonesia is only an island country, unlike Japan, Indonesia has very rich mineral resources and is the only OPEC member country in Asia." Zhou Hao smiled: "Under the influence of this financial storm, if Indonesia If there is another turmoil in the current situation, the foreign investment in Indonesian state-owned enterprises will definitely withdraw their capital. At this time, we can take the opportunity to buy shares in their state-owned enterprises, especially the shares of Indonesia's national oil company."
Zhou Hao's words made Zhao Rixin's eyes shine. He didn't expect Zhou Hao to have such a keen strategic vision. He couldn't help asking Zhou Hao: "Xiaohao, what do you want to do then?"
"The first step is to break down Indonesia's stock and foreign exchange markets, hum hum hum... But this does not require us to work hard. Even if we do nothing, Indonesia's economy will hardly be spared." Zhou Hao said: " The second step is to take advantage of the downfall of Suharto and the political chaos in Indonesia. This opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Godfather, we can support those who favor us in the Indonesian political arena like the United States and Japan after World War II. Only politically. With the right to speak, we can successfully invest in Indonesian state-owned enterprises. Moreover, we cannot directly invest in it. The best way to invest is through a company registered in a foreign country, so as not to let Indonesians know that we will be rejected."
According to Zhao Ri’s news, the splendor in his eyes is even more brilliant, but he is not the kind of person who is reckless when he hears the benefits. He touched his chin and said:
But we are concerned about the political situation in Indonesia and the military I'm not very familiar, so how do you choose a pro-Chinese person?"
"We are not familiar with Indonesia, but there are people who are familiar with Indonesia." Zhou Hao smiled and said: "I heard that Pang Jinting, the chairman of Jinting Industrial, has been here during this period and wants to invest in the country."
Zhao Rixin's eyes lit up and he understood what Zhou Hao meant: "You mean, let the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce help us find it?"
Zhou Hao nodded and said: "Yes, the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce has always wanted to give fair rights to overseas Chinese in Indonesia, so they have always been looking for people who can help Indonesian Chinese to defend their rights. It’s just that Suharto has always been right before. Indonesia is under a dictatorship, and the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce simply cannot get in."
Zhao Rixin also felt very reasonable about Zhou Hao’s words, and heard Zhou Hao say: "The Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce headed by Pang Jinting is relatively close to our motherland. So I think, if we can cooperate with them, this time It's much easier."
The backbone of the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce such as Pang Jinting should still be considering whether to cooperate with Zhou Hao, and Zhou Hao believes that they will definitely agree in the end. However, if the Chinese government puts some pressure on them, they will definitely cooperate more. Moreover, when Zhou Hao cooperates with the Indonesian Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the future, he can also use the banner of the Chinese government to grasp more initiative and bargaining chips.
"There is another problem. Even if Suharto stepped down, the Indonesian military would not be easy to provoke. I believe that after Suharto stepped down for a long time, the military will have a lot of political and economic influence on Indonesia. Big." Zhao Rixin said.
"So I want to take advantage of the chaos in Indonesia this time to cut the mess. The best thing is to get rid of the twelve ministers of military origin in the Indonesian cabinet and the 22 governors who are also military generals. The top leaders of the Indonesian military were wiped out in one fell swoop, so that it would be easier for our spokespersons to take up positions.
Zhou Hao said:
Especially the Indonesian Armed Forces Commander Wiranto and Army Strategic Reserve Commander Prabowo, These two people must not stay!"
Zhao Rixin looked at Zhou Hao dumbfounded, and then showed a dumbfounded expression: "Xiaohao, you are not just interfering in Indonesia's internal affairs, you are simply aggression against others."
However, Zhou Hao smiled with his hands in his arms and said, "Hey, hum, hum... If our country really wants to deal with those Indonesian guys, if the United States, Japan, and Russia have waited without action, it will be able to let those Indonesians within a month. Weeping father and mother, let them dare to challenge us."
"Hahahahaha..." Zhao Rixin laughed loudly, very happy. He patted Zhou Hao on the shoulder: "You brat, you really dare to do anything, but it suits my appetite."
Of course, this is just a joke. Zhou Hao smiled and said: "In a while, Indonesia will really be able to describe it as'people don’t have a living'. We take advantage of the chaos and get rid of all their senior generals, as long as we keep it secret Some, and then push the deaths of those generals to Indonesia’s own conflict. Hum, no evidence, who dares to say that the matter is related to China."
At this time, Zhao Rixin was already considering the feasibility of Zhou Hao's words. And Zhou Hao fanned the flames again: "Those high-ranking generals in Indonesia must be protected by many people, but this is not a problem. I think, if the'first army' comes out, you can definitely do this task without knowing it. Finished."
Zhao Rixin raised his eyes to look at Zhou Hao, "You stinky boy, actually hit the top of the'first army'? But seriously, if the'first army' is really dispatched, then it is really not necessary to complete this thing. impossible."
After a pause, he muttered to himself: "However, the'first army' is not something I can mobilize alone. It needs the approval of the chairman and the prime minister. Well...or else, I will take you Go to meet the chairman and the prime minister. You can tell them about your plan. Hey, if the chairman and the prime minister agree to you, let alone the "first army", there is no problem with sending a fleet to help you. "
Zhou Hao was taken aback. He didn't think he would still have the opportunity to meet the country's number one and number two.
