Chapter 428: Southeast Asian Bully

Hadi sent troops to bomb Indonesia's naval bases and air force bases, destroying Indonesia's navy and air force overnight.

The Indonesian president was furious.

With threats to send troops to attack Penang, Malacca and Singapore, the situation in Southeast Asia suddenly became tense.

However, there are two different voices in Indonesia regarding going to war with Hadi's autonomous region.

One faction is the war faction. When they are bullied, they will naturally find ways to retaliate. The Hadi Autonomous Region is only separated from Indonesia by a strait, and is very close. Even if there is no navy now, fishing boats and cargo ships can be used to transport the army there.

There are only a few people in the Hadi Autonomous Region. If we send 100,000 troops, we can definitely destroy the Hadi Autonomous Region.

The other faction has a different view. On the one hand, the Hadi Dominion is a British colony. If Indonesia sends troops there, it will be tantamount to declaring war on Britain. Can Indonesia afford the consequences of going to war with Britain?

The second aspect is the Hadi Autonomous Region. Even though the army is not as large as theirs, Indonesia's navy and air force are now gone, while Hadi has more than a dozen destroyers and frigates and dozens of torpedo boats.

Now Hadi's warships are spread throughout the Strait of Malacca. As long as they make the slightest move, Hadi's navy will rush over, and their troop transports will not be able to reach the other side at all.

Hundreds of miles of straits,

Now it is Tiandun.

And the Air Force.

There were more than 200 aircraft dispatched this time alone. This shows the strength of the Hadi Autonomous Region Air Force. If the Indonesian army did not have the ability to take down the Hadi Autonomous Region in one fell swoop, the consequences would be hard to imagine.

And there are not only people from the Hadi Dominion. The British now have 7,000 troops stationed in Malaya, and two ships. It is still unclear whether these 100,000 people can win if they cross the strait to fight.

After hearing this from his subordinates, the Indonesian president calmed down a little.

Half a day later,

The Indonesian government announced that the Hadi Autonomous Region had launched a sneak attack on Indonesia, destroying 34 ships and 67 fighter jets, challenging Indonesia's sovereignty. From now on, Indonesia and the Hadi Autonomous Region entered a state of emergency.

At the same time, a telegram was sent to the British government, asking it to comment on the matter. The Hadi Dominion was a British dominion, and they were asked what they were going to do and whether they were going to really go to war with Indonesia.

The final solution was to file a complaint with the United Nations, accusing the Hadi Autonomous Region of launching a war.

One more thing,

He secretly sent a telegram to Moscow, reporting what had happened here and asking the boss for help.

......

The news that Hadi's Dominion sent hundreds of fighter planes to bomb Indonesia soon appeared in the newspapers and the whole world knew about it.

Many people exclaimed,

Is there going to be another war in the Far East?

Previously, it was a great country in the East.

Then there was the peninsula. Just over a year after the peninsula ended, the Hadi Dominion came into conflict with Indonesia again.

But see the detailed report.

Hadi's autonomous region had the upper hand and sent planes to destroy all of Indonesia's navy and air force. Without the navy and air force, it was equivalent to losing the ability to fight foreign wars. Even though Indonesia's army was far larger than Hadi's, it was of no avail.

The Indonesian government announced some situations to the outside world in an attempt to win sympathy.

However, their publicity capabilities are far inferior to those of Hardy. Hardy's Global Times is now a major global newspaper. I wouldn't say it's number one, but it's almost there.

Over the past year,

The Global Times has reported a lot on Indonesia.

Of course,

Those are not good words.

Economic plunder, people have no freedom, the law is unfair, etc. The previous incidents of looting, smashing and burning, and the Global Times carried out another wave of critical reports, leaving a very bad impression of Indonesia in the minds of Europeans and Americans.

It is difficult for Indonesia to gain sympathy.

And Hardy is also promoting it.

The Global Times gave a detailed description of the incident from beginning to end, and of course, the tone was definitely in favor of Hardy.

The conflict between the two sides started with Hardy Investment Company. In order to plunder other people's assets, the Indonesians implemented a series of unequal laws. In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, these legal provisions were completely naked plunder.

Worse than a robber.

Then there were incidents of looting, smashing and burning. Hadi's company suffered losses and citizens of Hadi's autonomous region were beaten to death. Hadi demanded that Indonesia come up with a reasonable solution and severely punish the thugs who smashed, smashed and burned, but Indonesia turned a blind eye to it.

"After an in-depth investigation by Hadi Company, they found that the looting and burning incidents were planned by the Indonesian government, which is why they will not deal with the thugs."

One sentence convicted the Indonesian government.

As for the subsequent conflict, someone hired a mercenary company called HD to retaliate against the incident. The HD mercenaries attacked the military camp in Surabaya where the looting and burning took place, and killed the gang leaders.

The Indonesians then retaliated by sending warships to block the entrance to the Strait of Malacca, preventing ships from the Hadi Dominion, Hong Kong and Japan from passing through, greatly damaging the interests of many places.

The HD mercenary company bombed the Indonesian naval base and air force base this time just to give Indonesia a small warning.

After reading this report in the Global Times,

Many people think that this is a “small warning”?

More than 30 warships and 60 aircraft were bombed. This is all of Indonesia's naval and air forces, and you call this a small warning.

......

The United Nations,

The verbal battle started again at the conference.

The Indonesian representative threatened to go to war with the Hadi Autonomous Region if it did not give a reasonable explanation and high compensation.

The British representative said calmly, "We have already investigated. This matter has nothing to do with the Hadi Dominion. It is the independent behavior of Hadi's mercenary group."

Britain helps Hadi for its own purposes. On the one hand, Hadi's Dominion is indeed a British territory, and Hadi is also the son-in-law of a British princess. Everyone in the world knows this. If the British Empire were to be attacked by Indonesia, would it be shameless?

Although the British Empire has declined, its strength is still not comparable to that of Indonesia. They are not even on the same level.

Another reason is that Britain wanted to see if it could keep its last colony in Southeast Asia through Hardy.

The Indonesian representative felt that the British were so shameless.

He said loudly to the British representative: "The fighter planes that attacked our Indonesia came from the Hadi Autonomous Region, but you said it had nothing to do with the Hadi Autonomous Region. This is shirking responsibility. We Indonesians cannot accept this answer at all."

The British don't care whether you accept it or not.

The British representative looked at the Indonesians and said:

"I want to warn Indonesia here that the Dominions of Penang, Malacca and Singapore are British territories and are protected by the British Empire. If the Indonesian army dares to set foot on the land of the Hadi Dominion, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against Britain, and Britain will never ignore it."

Indonesians are so angry.

You clearly ate two bowls of noodles but only paid for one bowl. Aren't you bullying an honest person? !

But he also knew that these people were protecting Hadi and he would probably not win if he filed a complaint with the United Nations.

Even Hadi dared to do this because he had the support of Britain and the United States.

The Indonesians guessed correctly.

Hadi's actions did receive support from Britain and the United States.

Until the end of the conference, no substantive results were reached. A reporter interviewed the US representative about what the US thought about this matter.

The US representative said elegantly:

"The United States is very concerned about the conflict between Hadi Dominion and Indonesia. We hope that the two sides can maintain friendly neighborly relations. We are concerned about the peace and stability in Southeast Asia. Therefore, we hope that both sides can exercise restraint, take measures that are conducive to promoting dialogue, and focus on lasting peace and stability in Southeast Asia."

The official language is so fluent.

Not a single useful word was said.

But talking nonsense is also an attitude. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the United States will definitely not support Indonesia.

And Hardy,

He is a native American, the Hardy Group is also an American company, and he has connections with successive presidents.

Even a fool can understand America’s attitude.

......

Not long after, the Soviet Union came out and stated that it was considering fully supporting all Indonesian actions and might send warships and fighter jets to participate in the war at a critical moment.

The first secretary at the time, Hluhlovich, was a corn fanatic and a hot-tempered man. Naturally, he wanted to lend a helping hand when he received help from Indonesia, so he issued such a stern warning.

Shortly after the Soviet Union issued the warning, Britain and the United States also responded the next day.

Britain stated that any military action that invaded British territory would be a declaration of war on the British Empire and that Britain would participate in the war at all costs.

Churchill was not afraid of intimidation.

The United States said it is paying close attention to developments in Southeast Asia and hopes that all parties will remain restrained and calm to avoid causing greater conflicts.

At the same time,

The United States publicly ordered its military bases in Japan and South Korea to be prepared to respond actively to the outbreak of war again.

This was done for the Soviet Union to see.

If the Soviet Union gets involved, then the United States will inevitably get involved as well.

For a while,

The tiny Hardy Dominion became the focus of the whole world, with some newspapers commenting that if it was not handled properly, it might spark another world war.

But Hardy was not nervous at all.

Because this is not the Peninsula. In last year's Peninsula war, if it weren't for the Rabbit, it's hard to say whether the Russian Bear would be willing to send troops.

At the beginning, the Russian bear was very aggressive, but finally changed its mind and decided not to send any soldiers. It only provided weapons and equipment, and finally sent some pilots to participate in the war, and not in the name of the Soviet Union. So the Russian bear did not officially participate in the entire war.

Why is this happening?

Because the Soviets didn't want to go to war with the United States head on.

And what about Southeast Asia?

There will be no involvement from Mr. Rabbit here, and the Russian Bear is out of reach. Its geographical location is far inferior to that of the United States, which has military bases in Japan and South Korea, so it is even more impossible for it to send a large army.

The United States now has about 300,000 troops stationed at bases in Japan and South Korea, dozens of naval ships, and even an aircraft carrier fleet. If the Russian Bear wants to send troops to help Indonesia, how many troops will it need to mobilize?

In order to ensure victory, the number must be much greater than '300,000', but the Soviet Union does not have the ability to send troops overseas at the moment.

Their lives were difficult too.

Who else can help Indonesia?

That's all.

So Hardy wasn't worried at all.

Even though the big guys are banging the table and arguing, in the end they won't fight. They will just fight and drink, and in the end it will still depend on Hadi and Indonesia.

......

“Buzz buzz buzz~~!”

A large group of fighter jets flew over the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.

No bombs were dropped.

But it also frightened the entire crowd so much that they screamed and hid, running into the air-raid shelters. They waited for a long time until the fleet of planes flew over before they dared to crawl out tremblingly.

Presidential Palace,

After the fleet of planes flew away, the president and a group of officials came out of the air-raid shelter angrily, with depression written all over their faces.

During this time,

Tensions between Indonesia and the Hadi Dominion grew.

Hadi bullied Indonesia's navy and air force, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Dozens of planes were dispatched every day, flying to this city today and to that city tomorrow. The main reason was that Hadi's autonomous region was too close to Indonesia. The closest place was separated by a strait, only a hundred miles away, and the farthest place was only more than two thousand kilometers away. The bombers made two round trips a day.

Besides visiting the city, he also visited the military camp.

And it's irregular.

A visit to an uncertain place.

Sometimes a bunch of bombs would be dropped.

Although the Indonesian side also fought back with anti-aircraft guns, Hadi's planes flew very high and did not need to dive bomb or drop bombs accurately. They could just drop bombs and leave, and many times they dropped bombs to useless places.

But even so, Indonesians are still worried all day long.

It is impossible to carry out normal work and life.

Now Indonesia has no way to deal with Hadi's harassment. Their air force has been bombed out and they can only watch Hadi's planes wreak havoc overhead.

Indonesia asked the Soviet Union for help.

The Soviet Union agreed to provide a batch of aircraft, but this news was learned by a spy and then directly published in foreign newspapers, which immediately caused a lot of discussion. At the United Nations General Assembly, a representative asked whether the Soviet Union was ready to participate in this dispute?

The Soviets were somewhat annoyed by the question.

If the Soviet Union admitted that it was ready to participate, then the United States and Britain would inevitably take action, and this would probably lead to a new round of competition.

In the end, although the Soviet Union did not withdraw its promise to provide Indonesia with aircraft support, it was slow to act.

Indonesians live in fear and harassment every day, but there is nothing they can do.

If it was an invasion,

If Hadi wants to capture Indonesian territory, Indonesia still has some solutions. At worst, it can use human wave tactics to fight you.

At the end of World War II, the Japanese withdrew and the Dutch planned to regain control of the Indonesian colony. At this time, the Indonesians demanded independence and subsequently went to war with the Dutch.

The Netherlands sent an army of 100,000 troops, but ultimately returned in defeat because of the Indonesian guerrilla warfare. When the Dutch occupied an area, the local people did not cooperate, and the guerrillas launched sneak attacks. The Dutch could not afford the expenditure, and ultimately had to recognize Indonesia's independence.

But Hadi had no intention of occupying Indonesia.

He was just harassing me.

Bombing,

Bombing,

Bomb again.

You will never have peace.

You can't do anything to me, and there's no one outside who can help you. Hardy is indeed bullying people, but Hardy knows who these people are, and this is how he should treat them.

If Hadi had not really taken into consideration his international reputation and the fact that the United States and Britain did not allow him to go too far, he might really have dropped bombs into their cities every day instead of just scare them from outside.

And this local war between Hadi Autonomous Region and Indonesia.

It also allowed many people to see Hardy's strength.

Although Hadi's territory is not large, his military strength is definitely not bad. Although it is not as strong as those real big countries, in Southeast Asia, he is definitely the little overlord of Jiangdong.

No,

It should be called the Little Overlord of Southeast Asia.
