Chapter 1596 New Year, New Threat Theory (rd update, please subscribe)
As the new year arrives, the world...is still changing.

Compared with the past, the world is still not so peaceful.

When the New Year arrived, Li Yian delivered a New Year's speech as usual - such speeches are delivered twice a year.

One is New Year’s Day and the other is the Spring Festival.

In his congratulatory message, Lee I-an said that in order to achieve the happiness of citizens, the official residence will address three important policy issues, including addressing diplomatic and security issues, stimulating social vitality, and further addressing public security and disaster prevention.

What is different from previous years is that on the issue of security, apart from the routine filling in of Saigon content, the only thing left is the Jakarta paragraph, which specifically mentions that the Soviet Union plans to provide Jakarta with an arms loan of no less than 5000 million rubles this year, which may even include Scud missiles that will pose a threat to SEA.

This example made Li Yian exaggerate the Jakarta threat theory even more, although he only mentioned the threat of this missile to the mainland and did not mention how to deal with this problem.

But Li Yian knew that he could not hesitate and had to strike hard.

The population of Jakarta is less than 90 million, and the population of the actual controlled area is about 50 million. However, its party actually has 3 million members. Even the Eastern European countries and major powers at that time did not have such an exaggerated proportion. If it is allowed to continue, it will definitely be a harm to the regional stability of Southeast Asia.

"Jakarta, Pyongyang and... have formed an axis. If we let it go, the consequences will be disastrous!"

In his New Year's message, Li Yian exaggerated the threat posed by Jakarta to regional security.

This is not an exaggeration. After all, in addition to its close relationship with the Soviet Union, Jakarta also has a good relationship with a certain major power.

Jakarta, like India, hates the legacy of Western colonialism and has made its dislike clear.

It is not just disgust, but hostility. After all, in Jakarta's view, SEA is not only the last "colonialist", but also took away large tracts of their land,

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between Jakarta and Chang'an has never been good. Whether before or after its independence, Chang'an has been secretly guarding against Indonesia. Even though Sukarno had been beheaded and the country was in turmoil and fragmentation, it did not quell Chang'an's doubts.

Jakarta's new president Hatta has been clearly identified as a pro-Soviet regime, and Jakarta is the vanguard in subverting the Western civilization order, if it were not for its lack of strength and internal turmoil.

I guess this will be output, just like in history.

For the SEA, which is both the deputy sheriff of the Pacific and the sheriff of the Indo-Pacific, it is only natural for it to take another preemptive strike.

"Jakarta poses a threat to our security. In order to ensure our own safety, no matter how hard we fight, it will not be excessive."

At the New Year, Li Yian once again warned and emphasized the threat posed by Jakarta. Even though it was a sick cat, it did pose a huge threat to the security of SEA.

"The reason is very simple. They are right next to us. How can we allow others to snore beside our bed?"

Just like that, just after the New Year holiday, at the official residence, the military received a new instruction - to intensify the attack on Jakarta.

To ensure your own safety.

"In short, it's a preemptive strike."

Zhao Changjie, a special director of the Ministry of Defense, thought for a moment and asked.

"We can formulate a plan to carry out a surgical strike against them. Through a surgical strike, we can destroy their ground forces and reduce their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent, thereby helping the opposition to seize power."

One trick can be eaten all over the world.

After tasting the fruits of victory after several surgeries, Sea never looked back on this path.

After all, such air strikes are basically a dimensionality reduction attack on a small local country like Jakarta.

They don't even have the ability to cope.

"Okay, you guys come up with a battle plan, and then I'll approve it."

Li Yian continued.

"In short, my attitude remains the same as before. Either we don't fight, or we fight to the end. We will devote all our strength to completely resolve the threat posed by Jakarta to us."

After making this deployment and asking them to draw up a battle plan, Li Yian walked to the map, looked at the situation of Jakarta on the map, and then looked at the map and said to himself:
"Okay, after this problem is solved, the surrounding area will basically be safe."

In fact, all countries are like this. They will pursue absolute security whenever possible. No one is willing to indulge the growing threat.

Especially now.

Starting this year, the United States will continue to increase its troops in Saigon, and the Vietnam War will be fully expanded. It will not just be a "Rolling Stone" operation in the air, but a comprehensive escalation.

In fact, the code name of an operation is very important, just like the Rolling Stone Operation that the United States began implementing last year. The word "roll" seems to have foreshadowed the future fate.

In this situation, how to avoid falling into that quagmire becomes something that must be considered.

So, instead of jumping into a quagmire from which you may be pulled out, it is better to choose a pool and jump in actively.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Jakarta threat theory is promoted.

It is to use Jakarta as a shield to tell Washington at the appropriate time that it is not that the brothers do not try their best, but that the brothers' strength is all tied up elsewhere.

"Using surgical strikes to destroy their resistance and help the opposition win can also be accomplished within this year. We must also take into account the subsequent internal turmoil." Zhao Changjie looked at His Excellency and said.

"There are more than 300 million pro-Mo forces within them. This is a very large force. If they engage in guerrilla warfare, the local area may be in a guerrilla warfare state in the next three to four years."

"Guerrilla warfare..."

Li Yian said with a smile.

"It's not a bad thing for us. At least it allows us to stay sober and aware that our enemies are extremely tenacious, so it is necessary to completely eliminate them."

Sometimes the problem is so simple. If you can conduct a three- to four-year security operation in Jakarta, at least you don't have to consider going to the muddy waters of Vietnam.

"But, sir, the security war will definitely take up our energy and consume our financial resources, especially if we obtain foreign residence. This kind of security station is likely to be continuous and there is no end in sight, just like the French in Algeria and the Americans in Vietnam."

Zhao Changjie thought for a moment and reminded:

"So we have to think about this. Basically make sure that other countries can't get involved in Jakarta, and only then can we completely eliminate them in the next few years."

In response to his reminder, Yi An nodded in agreement. Why can guerrilla warfare after the war change the fate of a country?

It was used to drive out the Americans in Vietnam, and the Soviets in Afghanistan. In Africa, from Zimbabwe to Angola, one colonial regime after another seemed to be destroyed by guerrilla warfare.

But in fact, it was not the guerrillas who destroyed them, but the financial backers behind the guerrillas.

Those guerrillas can not only get funds and weapons from the later financial masters, but also get the training they need.

And in this process, the only thing the later gold owners spent was some money.

Because of the support of the financial backers behind the scenes, it seems that the war will never end for the invaders.

As long as the locals are still fighting, as long as foreigners are still providing weapons, ammunition and funds, the guerrilla war will continue.

In this case, the security war is a bloodletting machine for the invaders.

He is like a blood vessel, draining a country's strength bit by bit. In this case, whether to stop the loss in time becomes an inevitable choice.

If the stop loss is slow, it is very likely that the situation will end up like what happened to the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and it will be completely destroyed.

“We are not Americans.”

Li Yian said while shaking his head.

"We can't do things as indecisively and disorganized as they do.

It's the same old saying, either don't do it, or if you do it, go all out. If you're going to go all out, then you have to use all your means. Of course..."

Looking at Zhao Changjie, Li Yian said:
"This is not about completely destroying Jakarta and leveling it to the ground. Compared to leveling it to the ground, I prefer to block it. We will establish a blockade from the Strait of Malacca to East Java, in which we will prohibit all ships from entering and leaving.

Any ship attempting to enter here will be treated as a smuggling ship and intercepted. If there are arms on board, they will be confiscated directly, and their ships will be confiscated.

It is to completely isolate Jakarta from the outside world. Without foreign aid, the guerrillas will not be able to hold out for long."

If it were a few years ago, Li Yian did not believe that it was possible to blockade such a large area, but in the past few years, with the introduction of early warning aircraft and further improvements in Doppler radar.

Only a few early warning aircraft are needed to keep the entire sea area under surveillance. In this case, it is difficult to supply foreign aid to the guerrillas. Without external assistance, the guerrillas are nothing more than a group of grasshoppers in autumn and cannot grow.

"A total lockdown?"

Zhao Changjie looked at His Excellency and asked:

"Technically there is no problem, but politically..."

Before he could finish, Li Yian said:

"You don't need to worry about political issues. Leave the difficult problems to me. Just focus on winning this war."

And so, on the third day of the new year, the fate of Jakarta was decided.

This is the truest and cruelest side of the world. Small countries seem to have one vote in the United Nations just like big countries, which seems to make them worthy of being fought for.

It is also because of this that the rules of the game in the world seem to have changed somewhat, with major powers trying to win over small countries in order to gain support from the international community.

But in fact?
The rules of the game in the world have never changed, it’s just that the naked law of the jungle in the past has been packaged and concealed by various beautiful words.

But in essence, this world is still a jungle world.

After the meeting, Li Yian raised his wrist, revealing his old Lange quartz watch from 1965. He said:
"Well, new year, new atmosphere, let's start there."
