Chapter Five Hundred and Twelfth Coup Twenty-Four Hours

At present, Suharto's Army Strategic Reserve has formed a confrontation with the Air Force Commander and his own presidential guard. But from Handayani's words, Suharo heard a relatively unexpected news. That is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' understanding of this matter is relatively consistent with the Air Force Commander Omardani. It seems that the power balance in the capital seems to be a little stronger here. After understanding this, Suharo took his own guard and decided to go to the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

President Sukarno's reaction was to ask for clarification. President Sukarno sympathized with the left-wing forces of the coup because the long-term situation of the army's power was too big to lose, directly threatening the status of President Sukarno. President Sukarno's comment on the kidnapping of generals was that it was natural for such a thing to happen during the revolution, and also reminded the coup participants Nasutian's possible impact and consequences.

"Report to Comrade Yedegeni. We just intercepted a signal, which should be the direction of the US Embassy. But deciphering it will take time." Lieutenant Colonel Yedegeni received the report.

"No need to decipher, all comrades will return to their posts immediately and start full-frequency interference." Lieutenant Colonel Yedgeni knew that he had not been waiting, nor did he know if Handayani's Ministry of Internal Affairs was ready to see.

In fact, there was no large-scale military conflict between the two sides of the coup. According to normal history, the air force was quickly defeated. Then Suharto found General Nassutian and stabilized the situation. The military then began to seize power. The bloody spread throughout Indonesia should have started after Sukarno was controlled by the military, but this time it was different.

After the US Embassy sent a telegram, he suddenly found that all his equipment was interfered with. All communications were like this, and even the radio station of Jakarta was not heard, which made Jones, who had just sent the message, feel a little bad in his heart. Although he didn't know where this feeling came from.

At this time, Suharto was busy organizing a task force to deal a fatal blow to the coup at the air force base. Suharto and the Army Strategy Command carefully studied it and decided to continue military preparations. For combat needs, the Army Strategy Command moved to the Snayan Stadium.

"Suharto immediately attacked the Snayan Stadium at the Snayan Stadium? Tell our soldiers that for a long time, the army has penetrated into all aspects of the country, and as a country's army, it has always maintained a unclear relationship with the Americans. The tragedy of the generals of the army is certainly regrettable, but Indonesia does not need a military government to avoid the military becoming the dominant of the country. This is the original intention of our Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now is the time for us to truly embody central democracy, and President Sukarno is on our side." In the earlier conversation, Handayani had framed the death of the Minister of Internal Affairs to the military. Using his minister's death, it is not unreasonable that the Air Force took the initiative to worry about the Army's actions.

"The military's pro-American attitude is really worrying, and it is time to make this army a real Indonesian army." Sukarno, accompanied by his wife, praised Handayani's attitude. Although he was just a mascot in the early days of independence and only became a president with some rights in recent years, he could not withstand the reputation of the founding father. As long as he clearly stood on one side, it would actually play a big role.

In the Snayan Stadium, Suharto, who had just moved here, suddenly found that the entire communication was cut off. All signals were interfered with. "General Suharto, we have been subjected to unknown interference. The interference intensity is very strong, beyond our ability."

Suharto sat in the place for a long time, and a feeling of badness arose in his heart. The second time he contacted the messenger of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not come back. This was not good news. The name of a country appeared faintly in his heart. The Soviet Union

Suharto has a low education, but as a general, he has a clear international understanding. There are only two countries that can use such a powerful electronic force without any scruples, one is the United States and the other is the Soviet Union. But the United States hates Indonesia's socialist forces very much. At this time, there is no reason to do such behavior, so there is only the Soviet Union. But where are the Soviets?

He didn't know how Selov commented on these countries at the meeting of Rubiy Yangka. "Modern society has opened up the gap between ordinary countries. What generational differences were there in ancient wars? It was just that one side held a knight sword and the other side held a hoe. As long as the number of people was enough, the hoe could still fight the knight sword, because the risks of both sides were the same. In modern society, if we beat those small countries, it would be no different from beating my son. What power does some countries that had just independent colonies have? Not to mention the current Soviet Union, even if Germany was taken out during World War I, his father would still beat him. For those backward countries, our Soviet Union was equivalent to aliens."

"Report, General Sukarno, the internal affairs appeared, and they said we must be disarmed." Another bad news came, which made Suharto's somewhat erratic mood return to the origin.

"Preparing for combat, the internal affairs force and the coup air force are in the same group." Suharto smiled coldly and issued an order. After all, that department was established by the Soviet Union. Maybe the ministers of the internal affairs are all finished. Are the police ready to fight the military now? Then give it a try.

With Suharto's orders, the soldiers of the Army's Strategic Reserve began to set up defenses, waiting for the exchange of fire with the internal forces. Suharto believed that the military had not lost yet, because when the two battalions of Independence Square were disarmed, they also contacted the nearby garrison. The Army Paratrooper Assault Regiment came from a camp south of the capital to part of this elite force. Under the leadership of Colonel Sharvoedi, they were dispatched to Chililitan near the Halim Air Base. A battalion of the regiment stayed to enhance the troops that could be used by the headquarters of the Army's Strategic Command. At about this time, the first mechanized unit of the Silivanji Division, headquartered in Bandung, arrived at the outskirts of Jakarta.

"This cannot be a contact after we started the interference. Suharto must have contacted the garrison outside the city, which further shows that the military is indeed preparing for a coup, but the communications in the capital are definitely under our control." General Antonov, who is in the Indonesian Ministry of Internal Affairs as a tourist, said with a guarantee, "Stop them from entering the city and defeat Suharto and remove the interference. President Suharo can declare that this coup is illegal."
