西方情报机构正在组织一场 "不成熟的共产主义政变"。

 随着1965年的发展，关于右翼将军与中央情报局或某些外国势力合谋的谣言开始在雅加达疯传。

印尼政府发现了一封据称是由

英国大使安德鲁-吉尔克里斯特（Andrew Gilchrist）写的信，信中说：

"不妨再次向我们的当地军队朋友强调，最严格的谨慎、纪律和协调对于事业的成功至关重要"。

苏加诺召见了军事首长，要求知道这些 "军队朋友 "是谁。

Gilchrist文件 "可能是伪造的。

它可能是真的。

也有可能是英国人或美国人安插的心理战术，也许是许多心理战术中的一个，目的是激起左派的行动。

As 1965 went on, rumors that right-wing generals were conspiring with the CIA or some foreign power began to spread like wildfire in Jakarta.

 The Indonesian government found a letter, purportedly written by British Ambassador Andrew Gilchrist, stating “it would be as well to emphasize once more to our local army friends that the strictest caution, discipline and coordination are essential to the success of the enterprise.”

 Sukarno summoned the military chiefs, demanding to know who these “army friends” were.

 The “Gilchrist document” could have been a forgery.

 It could have been real.

 Or it could have been planted by the British or Americans as a psyops trick, perhaps one of many, to provoke the left into action.39

当苏加诺和印尼政府中的许多人发现谁将从华盛顿来接替霍华德-琼斯时，他们的疑虑更加强烈了。

他们了解到，新上任的马歇尔-格林大使曾在首尔参加过朴正熙的军事政变，该政变摧毁了短命的议会制第二共和国。

正如危地马拉人对约翰-皮里弗伊被派去与雅各布-阿尔本斯交往时的咄咄逼人的过去感到怀疑一样，

格林的到来被广泛认为是一个信号，即华盛顿已经放弃了霍华德-琼斯的软性外交方式，现在完全致力于政权的改变。

Suspicions held by Sukarno and many in the Indonesian government intensified when they found out who was coming from Washington to replace Howard Jones.

 Newly minted Ambassador Marshall Green, they learned, had been in Seoul when Park Chung Hee took power in a military coup that destroyed the short-lived parliamentary Second Republic.

 Just as the Guatemalans had been suspicious of John Peurifoy’s aggressive past when he was sent to interact with Jacobo Árbenz, Green’s arrival was widely seen as a signal that Washington had abandoned the soft, diplomatic Howard Jones approach and was now fully committed to regime change.40

与之前的肯尼迪一样，约翰逊政府认为印尼比越南更重要。

国务卿迪安-罗斯克（Dean Rusk）对一位英国官员说："约翰逊总统越来越倾向于这样的结论：

到最后，他将准备对印度尼西亚发动大规模战争。”41 

国家安全委员会秘密303委员会的一次会议认为，"一个拥有1.05亿人口的国家被'共产主义阵营'占领，将使越南的胜利变得毫无意义。”42 

副国务卿乔治-鲍尔和国家安全顾问麦乔治-邦迪也认为，失去印度尼西亚将是 "自中国沦陷以来最大的事情。” 43Like Kennedy before him, Johnson’s administration considered Indonesia more important than Vietnam.

 “President Johnson has come increasingly to the conclusion that, at the end of the day, he would be ready for major war against Indonesia,” said Secretary of State Dean Rusk to a British official.41 A meeting of the National Security Council’s secret 303 committee concluded that “the loss of a nation of 105 million to the ‘Communist camp’ would make a victory in Vietnam of little meaning.”42 Under Secretary of State George Ball and National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy agreed that the loss of Indonesia would be “the biggest thing since the fall of China.”43

1964年12月，巴基斯坦驻巴黎大使J-A-拉希姆给他的外交部长佐勒菲卡尔-阿里-布托写了一封信，报告了他与一位为北约工作的荷兰情报官员的谈话。

他写道，西方情报机构正在组织一场 "不成熟的共产主义政变"。

这位北约官员告诉他，印度尼西亚 "已经准备好像一个烂苹果一样落入西方的怀抱 "44。

In December 1964, Pakistan’s ambassador to Paris, J.

 A.

 Rahim, sent a letter to his foreign minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, reporting on a conversation he had with a Dutch intelligence officer working for NATO.

 He wrote that Western intelligence agencies were organizing a “premature communist coup.”

 Indonesia, the NATO officer told him, “was ready to fall into the Western lap like a rotten apple.”44

1965年的大部分时间，弗朗西斯卡都在阿尔及利亚，为一个将亚非拉记者协会和拉丁美洲的记者聚集在一起的会议做准备工作。

但一场军事政变废黜了阿尔及利亚革命社会主义第一任总统本-贝拉，使这些计划陷入混乱。

1965年8月，当她回到家时，她感到事情已经不同了。

紧张。

关于右翼政变即将发生的广泛传言确实无处不在。

在她的社交圈里，人们都在谈论一个右翼的将军委员会可能会秘密工作，以推翻苏加诺或摧毁左派。

Francisca spent much of 1965 in Algeria, working on preparations for a conference that would bring the Afro-Asian Journalist Association together with journalists from Latin America.

 But a military coup deposed Ben Bella, Algeria’s revolutionary socialist first president, and threw those plans into disarray.

 When she came home, in August 1965, she felt that things were different.

 Tense.

 The widespread rumors about an imminent right-wing coup were indeed everywhere.

 In her social circle, people were talking about the possibility of a right-wing Council of Generals working secretly to remove Sukarno or destroy the left.
