Chapter 139 Emptying Indonesia's treasury
How developed is the film industry in the United States?The crew of most film companies can run like a machine, and the most important thing is that it can still run smoothly after the module is replaced.The work of the same theme that Galaxy Movie plans to launch in the summer is actually "Asteroid Strikes the Earth". With the advent of 1999, theories about the end of the world are becoming more and more popular. Of course, the most famous one is "Impact".Therefore, it is also reasonable for major film companies to plan to launch works with similar themes. Unfortunately, the screenwriters found that the screenwriters under the Galaxy Film Company have already completed two "Asteroids Hit the Earth" works. Michael Bay's "Clash of Heaven and Earth", and the other one is Jed Sherman's "Peerless Hero".
What hurts other film companies is that these two film companies have filled Industrial Light and Magic's schedule for the entire first half of the year, and they have also made all the key personnel of Imax Film Technology Company take action.Because these two films will be completely shot on Imax film, and will be produced simultaneously in 2D and 3D versions.After seeing the real scene of the plane crashing into the building in "Face Changing", countless movie fans expressed their high attention to the "planet hitting the earth" produced by Imax3d technology.
At the same time, Dongfeng TV Company and Fox Broadcasting Company suddenly announced that they would develop a reality show called "Big Brother" in the summer.This program will arrange seven completely unfamiliar couples of men and women to live in a villa with 24-hour comprehensive surveillance. Every week, one contestant will be eliminated by the residents of the villa, and the final winner will receive a reward of 2 US dollars.At the same time, Fox Broadcasting Corporation announced that it will recruit contestants for the first season of "Big Brother", as long as the United States citizens who have reached the age of 2 can sign up. The reward of 2 US dollars naturally attracted the attention of many people, and this program announced that all the elimination results will be decided by the contestants, and the producers will not interfere with the final results.This seemingly simple activity immediately attracted the participation of many Americans. After all, it is a good choice to go to a beautiful villa for a vacation in the summer. Maybe you can meet your ultimate partner in life and even win a reward of [-] US dollars , this will be a summer vacation worth remembering for a lifetime.
But at this time, Jed was shocked by a piece of intelligence sent by the government. This intelligence from the CIA pointed out that Indonesian society was in turmoil, and the ethnic antagonism between Indonesian indigenous people and Chinese was very serious.Although this information did not analyze what the final result would be, the "Black May Incident" had already appeared in Jed's mind.Jed couldn't help but smiled wryly. It seemed that he had become more and more used to being an American. He even thought about how to prevent the "September [-] Incident" from happening even when he was making a movie.As a result, the massacre against the Chinese was imminent but was almost ignored by him, which made Jed fall into deep self-blame.
Jed called his grandfather. Although his grandfather has completely retired, he still has a very high status in the Chinese American Historical Society.The Chinese American Historical Society is the only Chinese American organization that Jade knows and believes in. This organization not only has a good academic status in the United States, but also has certain connections with the mainland government and the Taiwan authorities.After Jed notified his grandfather of the incident by phone and expressed his concerns, Jed's grandfather was also silent.
Finally, he said lightly: "If you are sure what you said is in the affirmative, I will have someone contact you. The tragedy of '[-]' cannot be repeated."
Of course, Jed knew what the "September 1965 tragedy" his grandfather mentioned. After Suharto came to power through a military coup in 2, he purged the unist and massacred the Chinese at the same time.However, based on the Cold War mentality, Britain and the United States, the self-proclaimed "human rights defenders", not only did not stop Suharto's indiscriminate killings, but instead provided corresponding intelligence support and made a large amount of investment after the purge was regarded as a reward.And the most chilling thing is that Australia, which is also in the Western camp and advertises "human rights first", was directly involved in this massacre. Even until the 90s, the Australian Prime Minister still believed that "(supporting Suharto's massacre) was Australia's war effort." The most important and beneficial event in post-strategic history."
Just when Jed was still mourning in the pile of historical stories, a strange call came in.The other party claimed to be Li Jiayao, the executive vice chairman of the American Chinese Historical Society, and he said that he had heard about the Indonesian incident.
"Isn't there anything you can do? Aren't you connected with both Beijing and Taipei?" Jed asked back.
Li Jiayao smiled bitterly: "Mr. Sherman, I am very grateful for your concern for the Chinese community. But since the return of Hong Kong, President Li on the Taiwan side has started to make many small moves, and these small moves have also annoyed the other side. On the Taiwan side Before the matter is clarified, I am afraid that Beijing and Taipei will take very limited measures against Indonesia. Mr. Sherman, I have to admit that perhaps when it is irreparable, we can only pin our hopes on the US government."
"Then what can we do?" Jed is a pragmatist, who helps Indonesian Chinese?
"If the entire incident can be identified as a 'genocide incident' involving the military or the government, then the US government must respond." The United Nations, the United Nations, and even ASEAN have good room for maneuver.”
"I see." Jed fell into deep thought.
In that time and space, although Hong Kong compatriots chartered a boat to rescue them, it was nothing but a drop in the bucket.Fortunately, the governments of Singapore and Malaysia have opened their borders 24 hours a day, allowing Indonesian Chinese to seek emergency refuge. Perhaps the final outcome will be even worse.However, such a serious racial incident, the US government only concluded it as a "racial discrimination incident".It is precisely because the U.S. government gave a conclusion so painlessly, so in the end the U.S. government not only did not interfere or sanction, but only allowed Indonesian Chinese to go to the United States for asylum.
"I need your people to help me. I will arrange people to pick me up in Singapore, and I will also prepare ships and planes in Hong Kong to advance rescue when necessary. But I want you to bring out the victims, bring out photos and videos. , bring out the strongest evidence... as long as you have these, I will make this whole thing the most important thing for the American people in 1998. And please rest assured that Indonesia will pay for their brains. I will use Do everything possible to cut off their food supply and energy minerals, I want to make them a modern colony!"
"I understand what you mean." Li Jiayao hung up the phone.
Jed doesn't need to speak too clearly. Behind the Chinese American Historical Society is the Court of Justice, and they have a lot of special talents.With their help, Jed will have a way to get the evidence in his hands at the first time, and then he will be able to contain the tragedy before it gets out of control.
After finishing the phone call with Li Jiayao, Jed immediately called Lin Jianyue and expressed his concerns about the Indonesian Chinese.Although Lin Jianyue is indifferent to Beijing, he still very much agrees with his Chinese identity.
"Mr. Sherman, I am very grateful that you can tell me such important information. I will do everything possible."
"Mr. Lin, your strength alone is limited." Jed reminded, "You should contact as many friends as possible, prepare planes and ships, and find a way to evacuate the local Chinese as soon as possible. In addition, Asian TV Can we send war reporters to Indonesia? In addition, we also have news centers in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, and we must tell the world about this tragedy as soon as possible. This is not a massacre of the Chinese, but a massacre of the entire human race!"
"I see what you mean, Mr. Sherman, and I will certainly live up to your hopes."
After Jed hung up on Lin Jianyue's phone call, he felt ashamed in his heart. It turned out that he still had the mentality of being popular in Asia News Center.The Gulf War has been accomplished, maybe this incident will make ATV the real No. [-] TV station in Asia?However, those Indonesian monkeys may not know what fear is unless they are completely returned to primitive society.Jed wasn't going to slaughter them, but he was going to keep them forever ostracized from civilization and never developed.To put it bluntly, Jed actually wants to completely eliminate this group of inhuman species from humans.
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Jed's mouth, and he hung up the phone to Soros, "Mr. Soros, do we want to play a big game in Indonesia? There is always something new in the foreign exchange market. Are you interested in letting the economy collapse? ?”
"That's no good, my dear Jed, what does Indonesia mean to us if it goes bankrupt?"
"There's no money for them to mortgage their farms, mines, and oil fields!" Jed said fiercely, "I think this property should let Cargill (the largest agricultural products company in the United States and the second largest private company in the United States) ) and Exxon Mobil (the largest oil company in the United States) are interested in buying; as for the mining part, whether it is Rio Tinto or BHP Billiton, they will break their heads."
"My dear Jed, I have to say, your proposal is too tempting." Soros was also obviously moved, "I think it's nothing if we don't control the fire occasionally, after all, a little Indonesia is not enough to make those old guys feel bad about us."
"Then it's settled. I think we can take this extra income in private, and they have no objection." Jed said with a smile.
He knew that according to the agreement, what they need to pay is the income share of the foreign exchange market and the futures market, and as for other income, it is purely his own income.As long as he and Soros don't play too much, those old guys don't care if they really played Indonesia to the point of economic collapse.
In the early hours of May 5th, US Pacific time, Jade once again received a piece of information from the CIA, predicting that there would be turmoil in Indonesia on the 11th local time.
After seeing this information, Jed quickly made several calls.
