Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 1136 A combination of kindness and power

"With China's military assistance," Sukarno's eyes flashed with excitement, "I can quickly integrate these forces into four modernized armies."

"Tell me about it." Su Zhengyang motioned him to continue.

"The First Army," Sukarno said confidently, "will be formed with the three veteran infantry divisions as the core, and 34 guerrillas. These people are all veterans, and as long as they are equipped with new weapons, their combat effectiveness will be immediately increased several times."

He seemed to have seen the prototype of this army in his mind: "The Second and Third Army Groups are formed by other regular armies, each with a strength of 34 people. The Fourth Army Group is formed by the integration of the remaining guerrillas and secret armed forces, and is mainly responsible for special tasks."

&34;What is the specific action plan?&34;

Sukarno lowered his voice, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes: "First, use your position as the chairman of the Asian Alliance. I have planted a large number of secret agents in Siam, Burma and other countries. Through these years of operation, we have people in their military and government positions."

&34；第一步，&34；他竖起一根手指，&34；以&39；加强亚同盟军事合作&39；为名，推动军事一体化。我会提议建立&39；联合指挥部&39；，由印西方面担任总指挥。&34；

"The second step is to deploy military advisers in various countries. These people are ostensibly helping them train their troops, but in reality they are our underground forces. They will gradually infiltrate the military command systems of these countries."

"The third step," Sukarno's voice became lower and lower, but his tone became more and more firm, "is to create contradictions. We have prepared a large number of "historical documents" to provoke territorial disputes between countries. Coupled with the incitement of the media we control, the contradictions will soon intensify."

"What happened next?" Su Zhengyang asked with great interest.

"When the time is right, we will send troops to mediate in the name of 'maintaining regional peace.'" Sukarno smiled slyly, "At that time, the First Army can break into Burma from the north, the Second Army will attack Siam from the east, and the Third Army will be responsible for containment on the south."

He became more and more excited: "We will first control the transportation hubs and military strongholds of these countries. By the time they react, our army will have already controlled their lifeline. By then, we will be able to defeat the enemy without fighting."

"As for those forces that might resist," Sukarno sneered, "the Fourth Army will launch a surprise attack at a critical moment and directly take down their command system. Our secret agents within them will also act at the same time to cut off their communications and command."

&34;What's the schedule?&34;

"It will take longer to complete this plan," Sukarno said cautiously. "I suggest that it be completed in seven years."

&34;Tell me about it.&34;

"From the first year to the second year," Sukarno analyzed carefully, "the time is used to complete the reorganization of the army and the upgrading of its equipment. It takes a lot of training time to equip a force of 34 people with new weapons. It will take at least two years to train the guerrillas into regular troops."

"From the third year to the fourth year," he continued, "we will focus on infiltration. We will plant more secret agents in key military and political departments of various countries and establish a complete intelligence network. At the same time, we will also allow our people to gradually climb to important positions. This process cannot be rushed."

Su Zhengyang nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"From the fifth to the sixth year," Sukarno lowered his voice, "and began to create conflicts and provoke disputes. But this process must also be gradual. First there are small-scale border frictions, then territorial disputes, and finally large-scale military confrontations. Make the whole process seem to be a natural outcome."

"The seventh year," his eyes flashed with a sharp light, "is the final closing. By then, our power will have completely penetrated the core of each country, and the army will have been trained to be elite enough. Once we take action, it will be as powerful as thunder and lightning, and we will hit the target with one blow."

"This pace is indeed more reasonable," Su Zhengyang nodded approvingly, "More haste makes waste. A great cause like unifying South Asia cannot be rushed."

"Yes," Sukarno said, "We need time to digest the results of each step, and also time to deal with possible variables. Seven years will not make people feel too sudden, nor will it delay the plan too long."

"Moreover," he added, "during these seven years, we can also simultaneously promote economic integration. When we finally start, the economic lifelines of various countries will be in our hands."

Su Zhengyang listened to this ambitious plan quietly. It must be said that this politician from South Asia does have a good strategy. He considered every step carefully, including both military actions in public and infiltration strategies in secret.

"Not bad," Su Zhengyang picked up the teacup, his eyes flashing with approval, "You are indeed a talented person."

Sukarno held his breath.

"Your strategy," Su Zhengyang said slowly, "I am very satisfied with your overall view and the integrity of this plan. Every step is very thoughtful, with both tough military means and gentle political infiltration. Combining light and dark, both internal and external. "

He gently put down the teacup: "Of course, there will inevitably be various variables in the implementation process. Perhaps it is a sudden rebellion of a certain country, perhaps the intervention of Western powers, or even internal betrayal."

"But," Su Zhengyang looked directly into Sukarno's eyes, "I believe that with your ability, you can properly handle these issues. This plan deserves China's greatest support."

"Thank you President Sukarno for your trust!" Sukarno said excitedly, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Okay," Su Zhengyang nodded, "Then the preliminary agreement is settled. I'll have someone discuss the details with you."

Just as Sukarno was about to get up and leave, Su Zhengyang suddenly spoke again: "However, there is one thing you must always remember."

His voice suddenly turned cold: "I can support you in becoming the emperor of South Asia, and I can also..." He paused meaningfully, "I can crush all your fantasies with one foot."

This sentence was like a basin of cold water poured on Sukarno's head. He looked at Su Zhengyang's unfathomable eyes and suddenly realized that from this moment on, his fate was completely in the hands of this terrible man.

This is both an opportunity and a warning. It is both a promise and a threat.

"I understand," Sukarno lowered his head, his voice trembling, "I will never forget what I said today."

"Very good," Su Zhengyang smiled warmly again, "Then, let's start this drama that will change the landscape of Asia."

Outside the window, the sun is shining, but it cannot shine into this reception room full of political intrigue. The handshake between the two ambitious men is bound to cause a storm on this land.

And this is just the beginning.
