The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 974 A mess
No one expected that the Southeast Asian financial crisis would evolve into the Asian financial crisis.

What was even more unexpected was that the Southeast Asian financial crisis hit the Southeast Asian countries hard, triggered political and military turmoil, stimulated internal conflicts, and the entire Southeast Asian countries became a mess.

Malaysia, which borders Thailand, is also out of control.

This country with a population of 2200 million has never had much presence in the international arena.

However, this financial crisis hit Malaysia hard and triggered internal conflicts.

The Malay ethnic group is very diverse, consisting of Malays, Chinese, Indians, indigenous peoples (Ibans, Kadazan-Dusuns, Bidayuhs, Semites, other indigenous peoples of Peninsular Malaysia, indigenous peoples of Sarawak and Sabah in East Malaysia) and a minority Eurasian group (Kristangs).

This was back then when the Chinese founded Singapore and there were many Chinese in Singapore. Otherwise, there would be more Chinese in Malaysia.

But even so, the number of Chinese in Malaysia still exceeds 900 million, accounting for 40.9% of the Malay population.

The Malay economy experienced rapid development in the mid-80s, and it made great strides, becoming one of the four Asian tigers.

However, the Southeast Asian economic crisis has hit Malaysia hard, leading to the intensification and explosion of internal conflicts in Malaysia.

The ethnic political balance that Malays had carefully planned was broken.

The Malays rushed towards the Chinese, intending to rob them and make up for their losses in the economic crisis.

The conflict between Malays and Chinese has a long history. Chinese are hardworking, brave, smart, and can easily get rich. The richest people in Malay are basically Chinese businessmen, and Chinese occupy almost 80% of the wealth in Malays.

The Malays who attempted to storm the estate were violently suppressed and shot by the guards.

The guards rushed out to suppress the intruding mob.

The Malay military intervened, but was defeated by the escort team in a head-on confrontation.

The situation is deteriorating and Malaysia is in a state of panic.

The Malay government hopes to make peace, but this time the situation has gotten out of control.

The cavalry had no fighting power and was completely defeated. Townships and counties were lost one after another.

The administrative divisions of Malaysia are divided into 11 states, 2 federal territories and 3 federal territories. Each state has a district and each district has a township.

This is a very unique administrative division.

Of course, the administrative divisions of different countries are always different and cannot be the same.

The administrative divisions of each country are different according to its specific conditions.

Good administrative divisions can lead to better management; with bad administrative divisions, it is normal for speculation among each other.

In the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the country that was hit hardest was not Thailand, where the crisis first broke out, nor Malaysia, which is adjacent to Thailand.

It's Indonesia!

Indonesia has always been a dictatorial military government and does not have a good reputation in European and American countries. Although the United States was on the side of the Soviet Union, the United States did not strongly support Indonesia, but only softened its attitude.

However, even so, American international speculators showed no mercy to Indonesia and directly dealt heavy blows to the Indonesian financial market.

Indonesia became the country hardest hit by the financial crisis.

In order to make up for the losses and divert the conflict, the relevant forces turned their attention directly to Chinese businessmen and instigated riots.

Who would have thought that the Chinese businessmen had been prepared for a long time and their escort team was well-armed.

In just one day, millions of rioters were beaten to death.

No rioters were injured because the injured ones were shot by the guards.
