Chapter 535 Aceh Independence
When the streets of Banda Aceh were swept by floods, dozens of kilometers away, the seaside town of Roquena was already covered in water.
There is a row of newly built resorts in the small town of Lokna, with a quiet environment and tight security. It became a secret club of the Free Aceh Movement a few months ago.
Yesterday afternoon, a group of senior figures from the Aceh Independence Movement gathered here.
This organization advocates the use of violent means to fight for the independence of Aceh. It was founded by Hassan Dilo, a businessman from Aceh. It is headquartered in Northern Europe. It recruits guerrillas in Aceh and uses force to fight for the independence of Aceh Province from Gaman.
Prepare to establish a religious state different from Gaman.
Gaman is the largest archipelago country in Blue Star, spanning Asia and Oceania. The larger islands include Kalimantan, Sumatra, Irian, Sulawesi and Java.
With a population of nearly 260 million, Gaman is the fourth most populous country in Blue Star, with nearly half of it being Javanese.
Aceh is located in the westernmost part of the Kingdom of Gaman, with a population of 4.6 million, mainly Acehnese.
Hundreds of years ago, it was an independent country. During the Age of Discovery, the Dutch colonized South Asia, and the Gaman Islands, including Aceh, were eventually included in the Dutch sphere of influence.
In the 1950s, Gaman launched an independence movement and gradually got rid of the rule of the Netherlands.
At that time, the Acehnese who supported Gaman's independence advocated that Gaman be established as a federal republic, and the Acehnese should implement sectarian governance within its territory and enjoy complete autonomy.
However, after independence, Gaman became a centralized state, and Aceh was placed under the jurisdiction of North Sumatra.
With the loss of status, the Acehnese began an independence movement.
For decades, the Gaman government has continued to relocate Javanese from Java to other islands. The conflicts between Acehnese and Javanese have continued to intensify, resulting in constant fighting between Acehnese and government forces in recent years.
The Acehnese resistance war has lasted for thirty years, resulting in numerous casualties. When the new century entered, the disputes began to subside.
But at the beginning of last year, the Acehnese guerrillas grew again.
In May, the Gaman government stationed troops in Aceh and then organized peace talks with the "Free Aceh Movement".
After the negotiation broke down, 50,000 troops immediately launched the largest offensive in the past 30 years. Four months later, they captured all the strongholds of the "Free Aceh Movement", killed thousands, captured 2,000, and forced the remaining troops to retreat into the jungle.
, or hiding among civilians.
Just when the Gaman government troops were preparing to withdraw from Aceh, a mysterious force intervened and supported the Aceh guerrillas with a large amount of arms, and the war started again.
The arms sold by the mysterious forces to the Aceh people included rifles, grenades, mortars, rocket launchers, etc. The arms were transported by freighter from the sea. The trading location was in the town of Roquena. The person responsible for transporting the arms seemed to be an Arab.
According to senior figures from the Free Aceh Movement, the price of these weapons is equivalent to about 60% of the price offered by other arms dealers. They come from the Babylonian battlefield, so the weapons are not uniform in standard, such as automatic rifles, including M-16,
There is also ak-47.
Yesterday, Zhu Huali, secretary-general of the Free Aceh Movement, summoned the "commanders" of various guerrilla groups to a secret villa in the town of Roquena for a meeting. The main content was to divide the spoils.
The founder of the Free Aceh Movement is Hassan Roti. When he was young, he served as a staff member of the Gaman mission to the United Nations. He later obtained a doctorate in law from Sam and has business partnerships with many large international companies.
In the last century, Hassan Dilo has been the leader of the Free Aceh Movement, and the cadres in the organization are also his direct descendants.
However, with the vigorous suppression by the government forces, Hassan's direct descendants have died in recent years, fled, or are too old and weak to participate in the organization's activities.
In 1999, when Hassan became seriously ill, Zhu Huali announced the establishment of a "ruling council" to replace Hassan in leading the Free Aceh Movement.
However, a few months later, Zhu Huali was assassinated while eating with some friends in a small restaurant. Many people said that he had died.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Huali appeared in Aceh again a few months ago, claiming to have saved his life and was rescued by kindhearted people.
He declared
He claimed that he wanted to restore the decline of the Free Aceh Movement, called members of the organization who had fled overseas to return to Aceh, and called on the Acehnese to mobilize and fight the government to the end.
Zhu Huali received funding from mysterious forces, with abundant funds and weapons, and the momentum for a free Aceh suddenly increased.
This time, the commanders of various guerrilla groups and representatives of various forces in Aceh were notified.
The notice stated that Zhuhuali had purchased a batch of arms, including tanks, combat vehicles and helicopters, which would be distributed to various teams.
In addition, "military pay" will be distributed. Each commander and each force leader will receive at least 50,000 US dollars in hard work pay.
Some people are worried about the safety of the gathering place. Well-informed people among them heard that China has issued a tsunami warning, and the town of Rockna is right on the seaside, and they are worried that it will be affected by earthquakes and tsunamis.
Zhu Huali told everyone, "The arms dealers also took risks to come to Luokna. They are not afraid, so what do we have to worry about on our own territory?"
If a tsunami really happens, we can just drive away."
The top leaders of Free Aceh are all desperadoes. Some may have national righteousness in mind, but everyone hopes to obtain this batch of arms to strengthen their own strength and obtain more benefits.
After hearing Zhu Huali say, "If you can't come, then don't come." More than a dozen senior leaders from the organization all gathered at Luokna.
On the afternoon of the 25th, a medium-sized cargo ship docked at the resort's private pier. This time, in addition to two thousand rifles and 100 RPGs, there were a dozen tanks and five Black Hawk helicopters.
It took half a day for the Arabs to skillfully hoist down the tanks and helicopters. Everyone's faces warmed up as they looked at the weapons and equipment. If these weapons and equipment are in place, they can do a lot of things.
If you sell it, you can get a lot of mani.
Some people murmured what Zhu Huali got in exchange for these arms, and privately speculated that the natural gas resources in the North Aceh Sea were given to foreign powers.
After the spoils were divided, there was inevitably a carnival, and finally the earthquake and tsunami were put aside. Until this morning, no one woke up from the hangover.
After the earthquake, people realized that danger might come, and the leaders hurriedly summoned their men to load weapons and transport them to the inland highlands.
However, ten minutes later, mountain-like waves came crashing down on us.
Under the mountains and waves, people lost their will to escape.
The people in the speeding vehicles realized that the vehicles had to run along the road, but the waves could push them unreasonably, so they all closed their eyes and waited for the judgment of death.
While the people of Aceh were struggling in huge waves, wild waves, and floods, countries such as Siam were harmed to varying degrees.
The entire Southeast Asia was like a hell on earth. According to incomplete statistics afterwards, more than 15 countries were hit by the tsunami. Even with China's early warning, 250,000 people were still killed and countless others were injured.
This tsunami can be regarded as the most deadly tsunami to cause human casualties in two hundred years.
People question why China has issued a warning but these countries and regions are still suffering heavy casualties?
Some people say that Sam and the experts from the Kingdom of the Sun misled the public, while others complained that their government did not respond in time and followed China in issuing early warnings to their country.
The two experts who had been interviewed began to receive strong condemnation from the public.
On the 26th, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a multi-department joint meeting to discuss a package of assistance programs for disaster-stricken countries; the Ministry of Commerce urgently contacted the Gaman government and proposed to provide humanitarian assistance to the disaster areas.
Three days later, in the conference room of the Coconut City Hotel in the capital of Gaman, dozens of people were sitting around a round table, but the atmosphere was very depressing.
Zhu Huali, the secretary-general of the Free Aceh Movement, actually appeared in this conference room. Opposite him were representatives of the Gaman government and the military.
In the venue, there were ambassadors from various countries who were responsible for mediation, including heads of the Chinese embassy and consulates.
The negotiation process was not ideal. The Gaman government believed that Aceh was severely affected by the disaster and the resistance forces also suffered huge losses. Therefore, as the stronger party, the government requested
The Acehnese lowered their weapons and spoke aggressively.
However, Zhu Huali and others insisted on the withdrawal of government troops from Aceh and invited rescue forces from various countries to carry out assistance operations.
After a heated exchange of words, Gaman's Deputy Minister of Interior Tito stood up and threatened: "If the guerrillas do not lay down their weapons, we will not allow a grain, a drop of water, or a grain of medicine to enter Aceh."
Zhu Huali also jumped up and roared: "Then, the Aceh people will be completely independent."
Tito laughed and said: "Independence, why do you have independence? Let's survive first."
After saying that, he threw away the documents in his hands and walked away.
The door to the conference room opened, and Dito and others left the venue.
Zhu Huali and several assistants then walked out of the hotel, and reporters from various countries who had been waiting outside the Yecheng Hotel gathered around them.
"Mr. Zhu Huali, I heard that you are still seeking independence and provoking disputes at this juncture. Can't you think about the struggling people?"
"Mr. Zhu Huali, I heard that you personally intend to serve as the head of the Aceh government, right? If your request cannot be met, the government and international forces will not be allowed to enter Aceh to carry out rescue operations, right?"
Zhu Huali laughed and said: "Is that what the government said? Don't worry, I will post the half-hour negotiation process on the Internet, and you can check the truth on Twitter and scarves.
Here, I can only tell you that the government will not allow a grain of rice, a drop of water, or a grain of medicine to enter Aceh.
And about peace, they didn't say a word."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Huali got into the car and drove towards the port.
The government promised his personal safety and did not send any force to stop him.
In the afternoon of that day, the entire video of the negotiation was posted online.
Tito's aggressive stance and declaration that not a grain of rice, a drop of water, or a grain of medicine would be allowed to enter Aceh made Gaman's senior officials disgraced.
The staff of the Gaman Interior Ministry were scrutinized one by one. They needed to find out: Zhu Huali and others had collected their belongings before entering the venue and used electronic equipment to monitor them. What happened to the video at the venue?
The next day, another video was posted online.
Zhu Huali said to the camera: "We Acehnese people have given up our illusions, and the Gaman government is no longer recognized by us.
***Allah is blessing us through the disaster, and a powerful Aceh is born.
Chapter completed!
