As soon as this order was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire Western world. It turned out that this order was given by Suharto to several of his confidants in the military. He asked these confidants to launch anti-Chinese riots and incite Indonesian natives to launch attacks on Chinese people in various parts of Indonesia.

Suharto did this to divert the dissatisfaction of the domestic people toward him and to reduce the huge pressure caused by the anti-Suharto wave of those opposition parties.

This confidant said at the press conference that this was already Suharto's usual means. Every time he encountered a crisis of trust before, he used this means to divert contradictions and reduce pressure, thereby successfully overcoming the crisis.

This time he used the old trick again, and still wanted to use this means to help himself overcome this crisis, which could be called the biggest crisis since he took office.

His confidant said that he really could not bear the condemnation of his conscience, so he did not want to do it again. He wanted to expose Suharto's butcher face and prevent this humanitarian tragedy that was about to happen.

This confidant was righteous at the press conference, and he showed a lot of strong evidence of Suharto's several anti-Chinese riots, including some of Suharto's written orders, letters, etc.

The many details told by this confidant, and the evidence that could not be forged, caused a huge uproar in the Western world as soon as they were shown. The entire Western world condemned Suharto, condemning the humanitarian disasters he created.

Several Western countries sent notes to the Indonesian government, hoping that Suharto would make a reasonable explanation for this incident. If he could not make a reasonable explanation, they would impose sanctions on Indonesia.

Suharto was suddenly in a mess. He was now restoring the economy and was counting on these Western countries. If they imposed sanctions on Indonesia, then what else could he do?

Just as he was looking for an excuse, two more confidants suddenly defected with their families. They also publicly held a press conference, released the same content, and they also produced a lot of new evidence, powerfully proving that Suharto was indeed the mastermind behind those humanitarian disasters.

Those few humanitarian disasters had been condemned by many countries, but there was no evidence to prove that these disasters were related to Suharto. Moreover, after the disasters occurred, Suharto also arrested some rioters, which could be considered a slight remedy, so he did not face much questioning.

But this time, the fact that he was the mastermind behind these humanitarian disasters was indisputable. Therefore, after several Western powers urged Suharto to resign, Suharto finally could not hold on. He was already prepared to resign, but this news had not been publicly announced yet.

However, those opposition leaders in Indonesia had now received Suharto's notice and learned of this news. They immediately communicated with those Indonesian Chinese merchants, and those Indonesian Chinese merchants naturally immediately notified the Mi family.

Therefore, as soon as Mi Xiuyuan got this news, he immediately ran to find Su Xinghui and told him this good news.

Mi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "You should know the reason now, right?"

Su Xinghui was so smart, he knew it as soon as he turned his brain. He asked, "You turned those confidants of Suharto against him?"

Mi Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Yes, those Indonesian Chinese merchants raised a huge sum of money together to buy off those confidants of Suharto, and the effect was still very good."

Suharto was the richest person in Indonesia. His family monopolized a large number of state-owned industries in Indonesia, from mines to ports, from banks to forests, all kinds of industries were included, and his wealth was uncountable.

However, these Indonesian Chinese merchants also had huge wealth. The wealth of their individual families might not be comparable to the Suharto family, but the wealth of so many Indonesian Chinese merchants added together was definitely much more than Suharto's.

Especially in this Asian financial storm, Suharto's wealth shrank significantly, while these Indonesian Chinese merchants, because of Su Xinghui's news, not only did not suffer losses during the financial storm, but their wealth increased slightly.

Now Suharto's wealth mainly remained in some fixed assets, and he did not have much cash on hand, while these Indonesian Chinese merchants had already cashed out most of their industries before the Asian financial storm some time ago, and they now had a large amount of cash on hand.

It was really not difficult for them to raise a huge sum of money.

Although Suharto had money, his confidants might not all be very rich. It would be good if their wealth was a few million US dollars, and their money was placed in banks and trust funds. During the financial storm some time ago, their wealth also shrank significantly. Although they had not gone bankrupt yet, they were almost there.

This time, facing the huge bait thrown by the Indonesian Chinese merchants, how could they not be tempted? They were not gentlemen who were as clean as water. On the contrary, they were extremely corrupt, otherwise they would not have wealth as high as several million US dollars.

Their loyalty to Suharto was also quite limited. In terms of wealth, Suharto only trusted his own family members. His wealth was all managed by his own family members. His family members were all rich, but the wealth of his confidants was quite limited.

Now the voices of anti-Suharto from opposition parties in Indonesia were rising, and the Indonesian people who had always supported Suharto were now increasingly dissatisfied with Suharto. Suharto was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and his confidants all felt that Suharto might not be able to survive this time.

Suharto ordered them again to create anti-Chinese riots. They felt that they were very dangerous this time, because with the progress of world civilization, the world's tolerance for such humanitarian disasters was getting lower and lower, and China's international influence was getting bigger and bigger now. If such riots were created again this time, their pressure would be very huge.

At that time, who knew if Suharto would throw them out as scapegoats? According to Suharto's character, such a thing was very likely to happen.

The representatives sent by the Indonesian Chinese merchants to contact them explained all this to them clearly, and coupled with that huge wealth, they logically turned against him, and as a result, Suharto fell.

Hearing this good news, Su Xinghui laughed loudly. He was really too happy in his heart. For Suharto, this butcher, executioner, and extremely anti-Chinese guy, he hated him to the extreme.

Being able to make Suharto step down this time was not just about making him pay the price, but most importantly, it prevented another anti-Chinese riot from happening, allowing countless Indonesian Chinese to avoid another painful casualty. This was what made Su Xinghui the happiest.

Su Xinghui played the biggest role in Suharto's stepping down this time. There was an indescribable sense of achievement in Su Xinghui's heart.

Su Xinghui said to Mi Xiuyuan, "Xiuyuan, this good news is worth us drinking a big cup. Let's go, let's go drink!"

Mi Xiuyuan of course understood Su Xinghui's feelings. In fact, he was also very happy when he heard this news.

The status of Chinese people in Indonesia was too low, all because Suharto, this extremely anti-Chinese element, was in power. As long as Suharto stepped down and those pro-China opposition leaders took office, those policies that discriminated against Chinese people might be canceled one by one.

The Hong Kong Mi Group also had many relatives and friends in Indonesia. This news was really too good for them.

Mi Xiuyuan stood up and smiled, "Okay, after hearing this news, I also want to drink. Let's go, let's go drink."

The two found a newly opened restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered two bottles of wine, and drank freely. Originally, Mi Xiuyuan rarely drank white wine, but today he also drank white wine. He wanted to experience that feeling of being tipsy.

Su Xinghui felt a bit regretful. Originally, drinking was to experience that feeling of being tipsy, but he was now immune to alcohol, so he could not experience such a feeling.

Of course, immunity to alcohol also brought many benefits to Su Xinghui, so he could not complain about anything.

Fortunately, even if there were only two of them, the atmosphere of drinking was still very enthusiastic. This news really made them too happy.

If this news was not unsuitable for more people to know, they would definitely invite all their friends to have a good drink together.

It was just that this news was too shocking. A national leader was forced to resign by them. If this news leaked out, it would be very unfavorable to them, so the fewer people who knew this news, the better.

The two drank and talked happily. Before long, both bottles of wine were finished. Although most of it was drunk by Su Xinghui, Mi Xiuyuan also drank more than half a jin. He was seven or eight points drunk. Under Su Xinghui's dissuasion, Mi Xiuyuan stopped drinking. ===== CHAPTER 2153 =====
