Arrive in Indonesia

Without further chit chat, Henry instructing all of the Gurkhas to get in the plane. The schedule is very tight as they must reach Jakarta at 9 pm because the cargo ship will be arriving by then. The cargo ship doesn't have a business at Jakarta and its load is almost full of Singapore goods.

A cargo ship full with the full load usually directly delivering the load to its destination. But the cargo ship 'crew' is left behind in Jakarta, so the cargo ship can only pick up them. After the Gurkha arrive in Jakarta at around 8 pm, they will immediately board the cargo ship and go.

The plane now is refueling and the pilot needs a rest too. Dylan and David have been flown the plane for 16 hours straight. Luckily they are an Air Force pilot, so with just a quick rest, they can immediately go.

After 1 hour of refueling and various checking, the plane immediately flying away to Jakarta.

Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport, Jakarta, Indonesia

A Boeing 747-100 landed at Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport. This airport is actually one of the Indonesian Air Force Base. But as there's no Airport to serve the International guest, the Air Force Base is forced used by the government.

The Indonesian government has realized the lack of airport for their capital city, so a project for building a new airport is under discussion. Henry actually has been going to Indonesia in his past life as the Google CEO in 2009.

He discussed the Google privacy problems with the Indonesian president back then. As Indonesia is one of the largest Internet user bases, of course, he treats the matter seriously. The discussion went successful under his leadership, but the same thing happened one year later in China.

The China negotiation failed because of China demand to control the database for their country. Henry refused China's offer, but quickly he regretted his decision. China quickly banned Google all over their country permanently and they decided to use their own search engine, Baidu.

After that, Google's board of directors dismissed him because of this mistake, so he can only accept it. This was how Henry decided to create his own company because he realizes he will always under someone's control if he works for them.

Only 1 mistake can cause a successful man to fall. Henry has learned a lot of things from Google's mistake as that was his first major mistake. Even until now, he still learned about that mistake.

As this is the night time and Indonesia now has not much air traffic, the plane quickly guided into a ramp. Henry was the first that got off the plane and he found a dressed up military men waiting for him. He knows this man must already be informed about his arrival.

Henry stepped forward and shake the man's hand.

"Welcome to Indonesia Mr. Henry, I think this is the first time you have come to Indonesia. My name is Soekardi, the Air Force Major General and I'm the responsible person for this base. My leadership has informed your arrival and I'm the one who will assist you." Soekardi says in broken English while keeping a smiling face.

Henry a little surprised as a Major General actually told to assist him. And the fact that they already know his name and arrival is even more surprising. They should only know a plane will arrive from Nepal, but not who it brings as it directly flies from Nepal without informing them first. Senator John told him its ok to land directly because he will take care of it.

'Is Senator John tell them my identity?' Henry though quickly while looking at Soekardi who smiling right now.

As he can't confirm how can they know his arrival, he 'showed' a surprised face and asking, "How can you know I'm will arrive ?"

"Honestly I don't know about this. I only know that at around this time, a plane will arrive and there's a man named Henry William inside of it which should be you." Soekardi explaining.

Henry thoughtfully looking at Soekardi who still has that smiling face. Since he can't the information he wants from this Soekardi, he decided to just go along with it.

"Please follow me sir, I'm will showing you the waiting room. And all the passenger above can get off now and we will do a quick inspection for them." Soekardi then immediately walks away.

Henry immediately following Soekardi as he wants to see what's going on. He has nothing to fear about all the passengers as they all have a legal identity plus they seem already know what happens.

Henry guided into a luxurious European style room by Soekardi. Both of them sit face to face and a woman approaching them.

"Tea or Coffee ?" The woman asking with her broken English toward Henry.

"As usual, you know what I drink at this time." Soekardi says to the woman.

"Coffee please, and don't put any sugar on it." Henry speaks to the woman with the Indonesian language.

Soekardi and the woman showing a surprised face as they did not expect a western man like Henry can speak the Indonesian language. The woman quickly leaves to prepare the drink. The atmosphere of the room a bit silent after the woman leave.

Soekardi broke the silence and say, "Oh, I don't expect you can speak Indonesian so fluently like that, Mr. Henry." Soekardi speaks in the Indonesian language after he knows that Henry can speak it too. To be honest, he learned a little bit of English because he often receives a foreign guest. But since this foreign guest can speak Indonesian, of course, he more comfortable to speak with him.

Henry laughed a little and say, "Actually my Indonesian not too fluent because I rarely use it. For just you know, I'm actually mastered over 20 Languages all over the world. I learned Indonesian because I feel that Indonesia as a country have very tremendous potential.

So I feel learning the Indonesian language is good for the future, who knows maybe I decided to invest here." Henry while looking directly at Soekardi eyes.

Soekardi face is lit when hears Henry's opinion for Indonesia. As the Army Major General, his love for Indonesia is undoubted. So when he a foreigner praises Indonesia, of course, he is a little proud of this.

"Hahaha, I too believe Indonesia's future is bright especially with our president leadership." Soekardi showing a proud face,

Henry smiles when he saw Soekardi as he already knows how to handle someone like him. Since he doesn't know how can they know his identity for now, he always alerts since he enters this room.
