Chapter 506 Initial Success
At six o'clock in the morning, the gunfire in various parts of Jakarta had gradually subsided. When some rioting teams appeared on the streets, Fan Wubing's people just fired at them without mercy.
The thugs never expected that the military would take action to suppress them. The rioters dispersed in droves and no longer had the courage to rebel. Therefore, by seven o'clock, the situation in Jakarta had stabilized, and the streets were full of people. There were no pedestrians. Everyone was hiding at home and listening to the radio, trying to find out what happened.
At 7:50, Habibie's official residence finally received the most important news. Thirteen armed helicopters carrying heavy weapons attacked a military base located 150 kilometers northeast of Jakarta. A total of 153 military generals who were observing were killed, and the entire base was immediately engulfed in a sea of flames.
After receiving the news, Habibie felt reassured, knowing that it was time for him to step in to clean up the mess. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If Bola Puna hadn't started the anti-Chinese riots for his own selfish interests, he would have wanted to If he were to step down, it would be impossible to provoke the great master Fan Wubing, and it would be possible to wipe out these opposition forces in one fell swoop, and there would be no chance for him to make the announcement that he was preparing to make to the people to stabilize people's hearts.
At this time, Indonesia's domestic situation can be dealt with if we don't use ruthless measures, but if we do so severely, it can be said that it will break our muscles and bones. Suharto is old and no longer has that courage. His body is indeed unable to support him in continuing to govern this country. If he cannot survive this, no one will help him.
Habibie took out the speech script that his colleagues had been working on for him all night, and then glanced at Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing smiled at Habibie and gave him a thumbs up to encourage him.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the radio station in Gada was fully activated, and Habibie began to make a declaration to the people and social groups across the country, as well as a series of orders to stabilize social order.
In his speech, Habibie informed about the resignation of President Suharto due to illness. In accordance with the provisions of the constitution, he was directly elected as the new president of Indonesia. He is the third president since the founding of Indonesia. He reported on the recent anti-Chinese riots to show this. It was an act of violent violence manipulated by Borapuna. The government has quelled the riots and called on the local people to immediately restore normal life order. The police and army are about to impose martial law on major cities such as Jakarta.
During the speech, Habibie also said that Indonesia is currently in economic chaos, and the national economy has been hit hard. The Indonesian government has successfully obtained US$50 billion in rescue funds from Fan Investment Group, and the government is about to launch efforts to restore the national economy. Various measures also call on the ImF organization to provide assistance to Indonesia as soon as possible to help the Indonesian people get through the crisis caused by the financial turmoil as soon as possible.
During the lecture. Habibie also appealed to various social groups.
Give up disputes and focus on developing the economy. It has enabled Indonesia to emerge from the predicament of economic crisis and now be as glorious as ever.
After finishing this inaugural declaration. Bibi was already sweating profusely as she spoke. After spending a lot of thought on it, he felt that this was also the most pragmatic declaration. Although borrowing money from a private person is a bit bizarre. However, the funds Indonesia received from Fan Investment Group this time were more than the US$43 billion that the ImF originally agreed to assist. It is enough to show that President Habibie has made great progress since he took office.
To know. At the beginning, the international community was not willing to give the Indonesian government any money. ImF is also extremely difficult.
Regarding the current crisis situation in Indonesia. Nothing can be done without money. With money. All is well.
Nine o'clock sharp. Habibie was officially sworn in at the Indonesian Parliament Building. Media outlets from various countries in Jakarta reported on this ceremony. Habibie after the inauguration ceremony. A large number of ministers were immediately appointed. And extensive adjustments were made to senior military officials. Habibie gave the order in the name of the supreme commander of the Indonesian military. Priority will be given to pacifying the military. Order the troops to return to their barracks. Workers return to work. Students resume school. All demonstrations are prohibited for one month.
After the inauguration ceremony. Some media reported the military operation last night. Habibie replied to this. "What happened last night was caused by illegal riots controlled by Lieutenant General Bola Puna. Some thugs attacked various houses. In Sao, a gunpowder depot exploded at a domestic military base."
After finishing the work here, Fan Wubing suggested to Habibi, "Unstable factors should be eliminated as soon as possible."
Habibie hesitated, "If we do this, we will easily be condemned by the international community."
Fan Wubing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? As long as you block the Channel Channel here, the Americans will have to agree to your conditions. Do you think they still have the energy to fight another war? Clinton is They don’t have that courage! Besides, they won’t change their established development strategy because of Indonesia’s internal affairs, so you don’t have to think too highly of yourself.”
Fan Wubing sees the American strategy very clearly. The current main task of the Clinton administration is to develop the domestic economy and re-emerge economically in order to curb the rise of the European Union. Due to the changes in the times, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries are no longer The focus of US strategy.
Habibie still didn't dare to take action. After all, he was a person with Western education and could not agree with Fan Wubing's ideas.
Besides, now that he has controlled the main forces in the country, some opposition groups no longer pay attention to him. What he needs to worry about most at this time is not the forces from the military or the people, but the forces that have already announced his resignation. Suharto himself.
Although Suharto himself has resigned, his family's influence in Indonesia is too great. All major companies in Indonesia are under the control of the Suharto family, and this time the military targeted them Among the forces, the Suharto faction was almost wiped out. How could Suharto be willing to see such a thing?
What Habibie is most worried about now is that Suharto will return to the country and lead these people to oppose him.
Anyone, once they sit on the throne of the president, will immediately think differently. The same is true for Habibie. He hopes to do something during his term, and Indonesians will also praise him when they mention him in the future. The great President Habibie, not the boy raised by President Suharto.
In order to achieve this ideal, Habibie feels that he should be tougher on the power of the Suharto family and curb it as much as possible.
"actually
It can be guided. As long as you emphasize punishment and building a clean government to improve job opportunities, you can gain public support. When the US$50 billion in aid is in place and the economy picks up, the support rate will naturally rise. "Fan Wubing said to Habibi.
Habibie nodded and said, "This is also my ideal."
In fact, Habibie gave a speech to the entire Indonesian nation, promising to follow public opinion and the Constitution and engage in phased and extensive reforms, including amending laws, establishing a clean government, eliminating corruption, political and business collusion, and abuse of power for personal gain, and eliminating industries. Monopolistic behavior, etc.
Habibie fully understands the huge challenges Indonesia is currently facing and expressed that he will be brave enough to bear them. At the same time, the people must have great patience to overcome the problems. Whether Indonesia's political and economic situation can develop smoothly lies at the beginning of a critical period.
At the subsequent press conference, he admitted that he had heard voices calling for reform from students and various social channels and hoped that the whole country would wholeheartedly support him in carrying out reforms.
On the political front, Habib promised to appoint a cabinet loyal to the people, organize a clean and efficient government, eliminate bad habits such as corruption and nepotism, and strive to promote the democratization process, hoping to meet the people's democratic demands through the legislative process.
On the economic front, Habibie emphasized that the government would ban monopolies and unhealthy competition, implement the reforms to the financial structure reached with the International Monetary Fund, and work closely with various international organizations.
He hopes that the domestic conflict will end soon and resources can be concentrated on rebuilding the country.
Habibie also said that he will recruit talents from all walks of life to form a reform cabinet. It is said that the list of the new cabinet will be announced in the near future. People from the three major parties in Congress will join the cabinet, and Coordinating Minister of Finance and Economics Jinnanga, Minister of Energy and Mining Mann Cusubroto and Foreign Minister Alatasco will remain in office.
However, Bibi also emphasized that there will be no relatives of Suharto or business partners in the new cabinet. The new government will thoroughly investigate the corruption issues of the Suharto family.
As if echoing Habibie's press conference, Indonesia's media reacted strongly that day. Major newspapers exposed the various corruption behaviors of the Suharto family. It seemed that the Suharto family became a wealthy family overnight. He killed the rat crossing the street that everyone shouted to beat.
After learning these little-known inside information through newspapers, magazines and radio, he became very angry and loudly condemned the Suharto family as Indonesian national thieves.
After Suharto, who was recuperating abroad, heard the news, his condition suddenly worsened. Through these two days of news, he already knew that he might not be able to go back in this life. Even if he did go back, he would face flowers instead of judgment.
He knew how much property his family had plundered in Indonesia. However, the media was under his control at the time, and he did not expect it to be exposed so completely. Now it seems that the situation is over.
Habibie's series of measures have been refreshing in Indonesia. The forces that were originally opposed to him have also changed their minds. They believe that if Habibie can implement these commitments, the fundamentals of Indonesia's national economy will improve. It is said that 500 US$100 million in aid funds were also raised by President Habibie through personal relationships, which makes people feel that it is rare and valuable.
In contrast, the Suharto family has tens of billions of dollars in wealth, but is unwilling to spend a penny to help the country solve the financial crisis. This comparison makes a difference. Habibie’s support The sound immediately surged.
Habibie's rise to power was a bit sudden, so Western countries were waiting and watching. At this time, Asian countries represented by China issued six consecutive statements expressing their support for the choice of the Indonesian people and their support for the new Indonesian government headed by Habibie. .
In the next period of time, Fan Wubing no longer cared about Habibie. He followed the original agreement and began to accept the benefits Habibie had promised him.
At this time, more than 30,000 armed forces were brought in by emergency airlift, helping Habibie stabilize the situation in Jakarta. In addition, Fan Wubing wanted to establish a base on Lombok Island, so there are still people arriving in the future. On the way, Fan Wubing's ideal was to establish a base with more than 30,000 people on Lombok Island.
The turbulent situation in Indonesia has also directly affected the direction of the U.S. stock market. Because the world's major shipping companies are worried about the obstruction of the Malacca channel, their stocks have fallen to varying degrees, with the largest decline exceeding 40%.
Subsequently, a large amount of funds poured into the stocks of these shipping companies. After that, the Habibie government announced that the Malacca Channel would not be restricted. In response to some of the current pirate problems, Indonesia would join hands with the Malaysian, Singaporean and Chinese navies to carry out clearing and escort operations. After this news spread, the stock prices of various shipping companies immediately rebounded and strengthened.
While planning Indonesia, Fan Wubing made full use of this opportunity to make money through the stock market to make up for the losses incurred in this operation. After all, he had promised to lend 50 billion US dollars to the Habibie government of Indonesia, and he could not ask for nothing in return. It was also good to make some money in the stock market first and subsidize it.
By July, the domestic flood prevention and control work had been in full swing, and the situation in Indonesia had stabilized. The first batch of aid funds of 10 billion US dollars promised by Fan Wubing to Habibie had also arrived, and the base in Lombok had begun construction. Fan Wubing decided to retire and return to China.
At this time, the new Indonesian government had already begun to investigate the masterminds behind the anti-Chinese riots in accordance with Habibie's request, and executed the thugs who committed serious crimes in the riots, and the Chinese people began to settle down.
Just before Fan Wubing decided to return to China, representatives of the Chinese in Indonesia, several local business family leaders, visited him and expressed their gratitude for his contribution to the anti-Chinese riots.
However, they came here this time, of course, with other thoughts, such as considering the future development direction. The current Indonesian economy is depressed, and after this anti-Chinese riot, the enthusiasm of the Chinese has been severely dampened, and many people are considering finding another way out.
Especially these powerful big families, they feel that they should make more investments to avoid losing all their money in the event of an accident.
The motherland, with its booming economy and increasing political status, is naturally an investment direction they focus on.
