The headquarters of the Sukarno Alliance Front is almost the equivalent of Indonesia's parliament. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The 40-storey building, built with the aid of the Soviet Union, includes all the Indonesian rulers since Sukarno's death.

"This is the feedback from Moscow, on the issue of East Timor, the Soviet Union in principle supports us, and the Soviets believe that neither Australia nor the United States will go to war with us Indonesia because of one East Timor. In fact, this is also our judgment! ”

At a meeting held at the top, the top of the Sukarno Alliance Front was discussing a letter from Moscow. The letter is about the attitude on the question of East Timor, which is a sensitive issue between Indonesia and Australia, and of course there is much more to the sensitive issue than that, and there is also the question of the ownership of New Guinea.

In what could have been true history, Sukarno suffered a coup d'état, and Indonesia turned pro-American. Suharto repaired relations with Malaysia, Australia, and the United States, relinquishing New Guinea's claims. However, in this historical time and space, the coup d'état was crushed by Serov, and a great purge was launched in Indonesia, along with all anti-Soviet forces.

Since then, Indonesia's political and social environment has been completely different. To this day, there are still slogans on the streets of Indonesia with slogans such as crushing Malaysia and bringing down US imperialism. The Sukarno coalition front controls Indonesia's overall situation. This follows the fact that Indonesia still considers Malaysia to be part of the British division from Indonesia, and Australia is a lackey of the United States, occupying half of New Guinea in order to prevent Indonesia from becoming a great power.

Indonesia's environment made the Soviet Union's Southeast Asian strategy smooth sailing, and it firmly occupied the initiative in the whole of Southeast Asia. In return, the Soviet Union spared no effort in Indonesia's armament, especially the naval and air forces.

Today's Indonesia is no weaker than Australia in terms of fungus, and its population is far greater than that of Australia, which is vast and sparsely populated.

"If it had been just a problem for us and Australia, there would have been no East Timor problem by now. To be honest, the USSR should have supported us ten years ago, and not waited until today, but it is a pity that a few years ago the USSR itself had problems with its internal functioning, so it waited until today. ”

As allies of the Soviet Union, Indonesians also know that the Soviet Union had a succession of national leaders who died a few years ago. It didn't stabilize until recently, in fact, the best chance should be in the seventies, but at that time there were many places in the world waiting for the Soviet Union to grab, and East Timor was too small and benefited too little to be cared for by the Soviet Union.

"In any case, we have officially received the support of the Soviet Union this time, and it depends on whether we can solve this problem, improve the confidence of society, and resolve the crisis in our country."

In recent years, with the collapse of oil, some countries with a weak industrial base and more dependent on exporting raw materials have been greatly affected. The sharp drop in the price of raw materials has affected many countries, and the Soviet Union is not in the most difficult situation among them, Iran, Iraq, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia and other countries, the industry is not strong to a certain point, and it is more miserable to rely on the export of raw materials to make profits.

Diverting attention from a war has happened in recent decades alone. It is not surprising that Indonesia thinks so, and Indonesia itself believes that Timor-Leste, a small place, may attract hostility from Australia, but not enough to attract the Americans.

"Immediately move troops in the direction of East Timor, expel the Australians, and let them retreat."

Late at night in Moscow, Serov got the news of the transfer of the Indonesian army, after all, the Indonesian Liberation Army was the army he cleaned up back then, and naturally there were still some people who kept in touch with the Soviet Union. The meaning of the PLA is obvious, and there are still many territories in Indonesia that are in the hands of foreigners, which is similar to that of China.

"If it were Carter, he would really acquiesce in the annexation of East Timor, but Reagan, who would dare to predict him?" Serov was also surprised by Indonesia's bold judgment, which was as naïve as Saddam Hussein's idea that the United States would not dare to start a war for fear of death, but given the geography of Southeast Asia, it is uncertain whether it will arouse America's fear of the Vietnam War.

But whether Reagan dared to launch another military operation will be known when the time comes. If he doesn't dare, Serov may have to think of other ways to transfer the Fifth Fleet, and if he really can't do it, he will support the counteroffensive of the Malaysian Communist Party, and it is always the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain that must leave, and the Fifth Fleet is in Bahrain, and Iran will not be able to win even if it uses its strength.

For Indonesia, a country where the whole country is on the equator, there is no such thing as winter, it is summer all year round, and after Portugal gave up its colony, Indonesia thought that it could follow China's example and wait for the return of East Timor. But with that came Australia's control of Timor-Leste.

At that time, the Soviet Union was attacking all over the world and did not heed Indonesia's demands, which of course was deliberate. The chairman of the KGB at that time, the head of the big secret service, deliberately advised Brezhnev to ignore it, otherwise the country's wings would be stiff, and it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not learn from China.

Forests are very important to Indonesia, and timber exports account for a large share of the country, just like the importance of timber exports from the Far East, in a sense, the Far East and Indonesia are in a competitive relationship, and both export timber to Japan. So Indonesia has a good relationship with Japan, but it also has a very bad relationship with the United States, and only now Indonesia and the United States still have no diplomatic relations, and Indonesia did not return to the United Nations after China returned to the permanent membership.

The rainforest is definitely not a good thing for the march, for this operation, Indonesia secretly transferred the field troops of the Fourth Military Region to supplement East Timor on your side, in order to operate covertly, this support force rushed to West Timor day and night, the mode of transportation was by sea, the same day and night.

Over the years, Indonesia and China and the Soviet Union have learned what it means to be disciplined, and the Soviet Union has focused on strengthening the Indonesian Navy and Air Force because of Indonesia's geographical conditions, which is also because the Indonesian Army has historical stains. And the Indonesian Navy and Air Force have the result of a revolutionary tradition.

The whole island of Timor is relatively isolated, under the control of Indonesia and Australia, and once the fighting starts, it is not known who will win, and the favorable and negative conditions are the same for Indonesia and Australia.

At the end of February, the entire island of Timor was still in a comfortable environment, with an invisible line between Indonesian-controlled West Timor and Australian-controlled East Timor, but the movement of the island's inhabitants was largely unrestricted.

The cordon between Australia and Indonesia is not like the borders of some countries, with machine gun bunkers, because Australia did not think that the half island in its hands would be of much use. Australia will not understand what it is like for a socialist Indonesia to feel that a territory that it considers its own is occupied by another country.

Socialist countries regard national honor as more important than life, this is a whole set of values brought by the Soviet Union, and it is incomprehensible in the heart of Australia, which is beaten with human rights, that the long period of peace is only because the Soviet Union did not show support for Indonesia. And once this support is in place, Indonesia is not at all afraid of a national drought-stricken Australia. It's all countries that buy resources, and no one is stronger than whom. Indonesians will also not admit that Australians are racial.

Late that night, there was a small commotion in the Indonesian military camp in West Timor, but it disappeared immediately. All soldiers were ordered not to divulge secrets, and several captured officers were taken away and disappeared from the world ever since.

After the sun sets, the island of Timor is very calm, and the inhabitants who have lived here for thousands of years still live a very backward life, neither Indonesia nor Australia has brought much modernity. After all, no one in the world is looking at this place, and almost all countries think that this is a battle between Indonesia and Australia, and it is not worth paying attention to.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the soldiers of the Indonesian military camp were called up one after another, and the isolation of guns and bullets was lifted, and every soldier was fully armed and loaded. Begin to assemble in the barracks.

At ten o'clock, military trucks full of soldiers drove out of various military camps in Indonesia. Then the towed artillery and armored vehicles drove out of the barracks and headed east. The soldiers in the military vehicles were silent, and many of them had sweat on their faces. I don't know if it's because of the sweltering atmosphere, or if it's because I'm nervous about the upcoming action.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, a large number of military vehicles carrying Indonesian soldiers crossed the cordon between the two countries and entered the area of East Timor controlled by the Australian army.

Faced with such a life-and-death situation, the Australian soldier, who has human rights values, after a simple comparison, quickly made the wisest choice and surrendered with both hands raised. However, before that, the duty of the military was to let the Australian soldiers at the blockade line post inform the Australian garrison in the rear that the Indonesian army had crossed the blockade line recognized by the two countries and entered Timor-Leste.

More than 5,000 soldiers split into several routes into East Timor until an hour and a half later, when the exchange of fire began in earnest around a village near which a platoon of Australian troops was stationed. The sudden sound of gunfire made the soldiers and civilians in the village tremble, and the fierce gunfire and continuous explosions showed the intensity of the battle between the two sides.

On the one hand, there is a fierce war, but the village not far away is as silent as death, and this scene is very eerie.
