Chapter 578: The Temptation That Even Reagan Couldn't Reject
Before Suharto could express his feelings further, four Kidd-class 10,000-ton destroyers were already roaming the sea outside Jakarta.

The huge figure made Suharto look as pale as death.

He already knew how the Western Route Army collapsed and was defeated. The guys who escaped back did bring some useful information. They were bombarded by overwhelming naval artillery in the early morning. Who could withstand that?
Now we can figure out how the navy suffered a crushing defeat - it was those damn Americans who were defeated!

Before, the Americans showed concern for Indonesia, provided loans, and offered support, trying to win it over!

Why, now that the United States has ended its fate so openly, isn’t it afraid that Indonesia will fall back into the arms of the Soviet Union?

But Suharto only dared to think that he was the first to stab the Soviet Union in the back. Not only that, he also allowed his subordinates to exclude other ethnic groups.

Now Britain and the United States are in trouble, France is silent, he, he...

Millions of Indonesian people are so innocent! What should they do?
The damn Malay authorities must have accepted black money from Borneo and deliberately dragged Indonesia into the game to frame Indonesia, right?

Why did Wang Yuanchao form an F16 aviation team and even take the Kidd-class destroyer into his possession?
To be honest, we don't need such guys to deal with the Malay authorities.

It is no exaggeration to say that with this kind of power, sweeping across Southeast Asia, even Vietnam cannot be stopped now, provided that they do not land in Vietnam and only bomb it.

What Wang Yuanchao was wary of was Indonesia, which had been eyeing Borneo covetously.

Yes, it is only used to defend the country.

He just didn't expect that Indonesia would be so bold and would directly start fighting. Not only did they mobilize the entire army, navy and air force to attack, but the discipline in the occupied cities was also very poor.

This is a hundred times more justifiable than the reasons given by Yumin Bank-Jianing Group!
Did he covet Indonesian land before?

To be honest, of course there is! But it's just a thought.

He had no way of invading other people's homes.

After all, Borneo’s independence was a referendum that had been planned for many years.

Originally, he thought that having such a small piece of land in North Borneo would be enough as the foundation of the family.

It's much bigger than Singapore, right? He's not greedy.

If there is friction between Borneo and Indonesia after Borneo becomes independent, Indonesia will probably be more friendly to Borneo with such military force at its disposal.

Then everyone is just engaging in a verbal battle.

As a result, Indonesia actually gave China a gift package for the establishment of a nation.

It would be strange if Wang Yuanchao didn't accept it with a smile.

If Indonesia invades, Blackwater will fight back in self-defense, and there will be no problem anywhere.

Some big countries need to consider the international situation, but Borneo does not.

The relationship with Malaysia is not good, and Indonesia is not a good neighbor either, so let’s beat them until they surrender!
Since ancient times, if the party that starts a war is unable to stop the war, it will be doomed.

If Israel can be the bully in the Middle East, why can’t Poland be the bully in Southeast Asia?

So Suharto had to send people to ask for peace with Borneo, saying that it was the Malay authorities who invited them to send troops, not Indonesia's original intention, and that Indonesia was still a peace-loving country.

Well, it’s better to believe that there are ghosts in this world than to believe this.

We need to negotiate with the enemy, but not now.

The reason why the Borneo Republic had been silent and allowed Indonesia to become so arrogant was just for this moment.

After receiving the order, Blackwater has been advancing towards the southern part of Borneo, and it has also split into two routes, east and west, like the two big claws of a crab.

No matter what, Kalimantan Island must be in our pocket.

Only when Kalimantan is completely controlled will there be a basis for negotiations.

It is easier to rule over a territory that is gained through occupation than through negotiation.

The Republic of Borneo has been actively promoting immigration over the years and has received strong support from the mainland, but its population is only about 500 million!
Indonesia has a population of 500-800 million on the island of Kalimantan, of which more than half are natives, and there are million Chinese. The rest are Javanese, and they are Javanese with faith.

In this situation, only those who are beaten can stand firm.

Even Blackwater can condone the Indonesian rioters to burn, kill and loot. Burning a few temples, looting a few temples and killing a few influential people would not be a big deal, right?

That's you Indonesians killing each other!
We, the defense mercenaries of the Borneo Republic, are here to liberate you!
I came to liberate you, and accidentally bombed a few temples. Is that a problem?

As long as we take over one city at a time, we will have time to rebuild them slowly later.

By reducing the constraints, there will not be so many different voices in future development.

Especially West Kalimantan Province, as the most populous province on the island of Indonesia, the province with the largest number of Chinese, and the traditional sphere of influence of the Republic of Lan Fang, it must be cleaned up.

Indonesia's Western Route Army on Kalimantan Island could neither defeat the enemy nor escape (because the airport and port had been bombed), so they could only retreat to Central Kalimantan Province. There was no way to retreat to South Kalimantan Province.

It was not until this time that the Blackwater mercenaries accepted the surrender of these remnants of the army. Later, they used them to develop the rainforest, build bridges and roads, and atone for their aggression.

In Indonesia, cities mainly rely on river, sea and air transportation, especially in Central Kalimantan Province, where the roads are very poor.

Blackwater followed its own steps, not rushing or impatient, approaching the city, bombing a few times, and then taking over the towns one by one. Wang Yuanchao held the map and said to his father-in-law Reagan:

"Indonesia is a country that always likes to brazenly invade. This country is too dangerous!"

Reagan laughed:

"Blackwater should not be too greedy. It has been hard to achieve the peace in Southeast Asia today."

Wang Yuanchao was not polite either, and said:
"Israel is the most powerful country in the Middle East because it has the support of the United States. The Republic of Borneo can also become the Israel of Southeast Asia."

Reagan crossed his fingers and said:

"Isn't it already like this? We have given you the F15s. Other countries don't have this treatment."

Wang Yuanchao chuckled and said:

“The Dutch and Portuguese wanted to help West Papua and East Timor gain independence.”

Reagan shook his head:
“The Borneo Republic has the power to protect itself, but do these two places have that?
Can the Dutch support West Papua?

Can the Portuguese support East Timor?

If they could support it, these two places would not have been annexed by Indonesia.

"

Reagan certainly knew what Wang Yuanchao was thinking. He wanted to dismember Indonesia, this huge neighbor. No one wanted to have a huge monster lying around.

As long as it is separated, there is nothing to fear.

Can it be demolished? Yes, Indonesia is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and almost all of its navy, army and air force that attacked were annihilated.

Can it be dismantled? No.

It is not in the interest of the United States to dismantle Indonesia.

If Indonesia really falls apart, it won't just be West Papua and East Timor that will be torn apart. Other places will also become independent when they see the situation is not good. Who wants to be a little brother when you can be the boss?

How can the United States manage such a large area?
It would be difficult for Indonesia to return to the embrace of the Soviet Union, after all, it had betrayed it first. But once Indonesia fell apart, Reagan could guarantee that the Soviet Union would reach out more actively than anyone else, even not just the Soviet Union.

If some hot-blooded elements emerge from a small island and even accept the help of the Soviet Union to destroy the shipping route, can Borneo handle it? Can the United States handle it?

Which is better for the United States: a falling apart Indonesia or an Indonesia that is now terrified and aware of its current situation?
If nothing unexpected happens, the entire island of Kalimantan will belong to Blackwater. Does Blackwater still want to be the leader of Southeast Asia?
Can't do it.

Even though the United States supports Israel, Israel cannot become the leader of the Middle East. It is just a small bully in the Middle East.

In the current environment, it is not suitable for Southeast Asia to be too chaotic. The United States is now engaged in a complete race with the Soviet Union and it is not suitable to divert its attention to this corner of the world in Southeast Asia.

Although Adam is Ronan and David's biological father and the Reagan family's closest friend, Reagan cannot ignore the interests of the United States.

Reagan thought Adam was a little too greedy.

Wang Yuanchao knew that Reagan had his own plans, and he was afraid that he would not be able to convince Reagan to dismember Indonesia.

Indeed, dismembering Indonesia would not bring more benefits to the United States, but would bring a lot of disadvantages. Now, the United States only needs to take care of Indonesia.

So Wang Yuanchao, unwilling to give up, threw out his trump card and said:

"Well, actually, I originally wanted to discuss with the Kingdom of Borneo and buy a nice island. I could get the title from the British royal family, get a hereditary noble title, and leave Ronan a piece of land and title that could be inherited."

Reagan couldn't help but think of his eldest grandson who kept shouting that he wanted to be a knight.

Americans have an irresistible gene for this thing.

Reagan just blinked, looked down at the map that Wang Yuanchao had spread out in front of him, searched on the map, and said:

"If you have a noble title, it should only be passed on to your son, right?"

Wang Yuanchao has many women and children. It is no secret here or there.

Now that we have come to this point, we must make it clear, otherwise, wouldn't Reagan have worked in vain? This will damage the interests of the United States, won't it?
Wang Yuanchao looked at Li He who was looking down at the map carefully, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Oh, I knew you would fall for this!
"Last year, Mrs. Thatcher visited the mainland, and the mainland said that it would definitely take back Hong Kong.

You know, they don't care about this over there, nor do they allow it to exist.

You said, if I take one step up now, I will become a baron.

If you can come forward, they know that this title will be left to Ronan in the future. There is also the blood of the Reagan family. Plus, Maureen is now helping with shopping in the UK. I guess we can talk to the British side then, and it is not impossible to become a viscount.

It would be a pity if such a good title could not be passed on."

Reagan nodded after hearing this. Adam did not hide the fact that he wanted to use the power of the Reagan family. Indeed, if it was passed on to his son, the British would probably give him a lifelong peerage at most. But if it was passed on to Ronan, it would be different, because he would be there to help!

Does Britain still dare to give a lifelong peerage?

They blushed!
