Mojokerto: Strategic War in Java
Outside the Kalimantan region, Heru Cokro realized that there was a vast land waiting to be seized and utilized. This land is filled with richness. After speaking with Abraham Moses, Heru Cokro decided to look for Aryasatya Wijaya to discuss strategies related to the Mojokerto region.
Indrayan is a city located in Mojokerto, and Heru Cokro has planned several steps related to this region. He needed to plan carefully before going any further.
Heru Cokro has realized that Indrayan is a good choice to work with. Both sides share a common interest in developing the region, and they also have close family ties. Therefore, there is a strong foundation of trust between the two.
Heru Cokro asked Aryasatya Wijaya about her thoughts regarding Mojokerto, and Aryasatya Wijaya calmly replied, "I have an understanding of the situation in Mojokerto."
He then explained that the four financial groups that previously existed in Mojokerto had split into two. The Karno family approached them, while the Widodo Family approached the Siliwangi Family.
Heru Cokro realized that this separation was related to his role in preventing marriage between Siliwangi and the Sandalwood Family. But now, the situation had changed and the two groups had become enemies.
However, Aryasatya Wijaya revealed that the thing that worried her more was the Ratu Kidul Alliance. According to him, Yosi Siliwangi had joined this alliance to fight against the Sandalwood Family. This was a difficult situation, because as members of the Java Dwipa Alliance, they would probably face attacks from various parties.
Heru Cokro just smiled about this. He considers that Yosi Siliwangi has still not accepted defeat and tries to get help from the Queen Kidul Alliance to fight him.
Although Heru Cokro was not too worried about this, he found Indrayan's current situation to be worrying about him. Aryasatya Wijaya did not seem to take the initiative to counter this situation. Heru Cokro felt that Aryasatya Wijaya, despite being highly educated and coming from a respectable family, might lack the soul of a leader.
Heru Cokro had spoken to the Sandalwood Family, and the impression he had was that they were extremely calculating and less humane in treating their territory. They treated the region like a company, which Heru Cokro said would not allow the region to truly thrive.
This was also the reason why Roberto managed to put pressure on Wijiono Manto, although he had made a number of mistakes that affected his family's prestige. Wijiono Manto, on the other hand, seemed to take a long time to recover after the Battle of Gresik.
Heru Cokro realizes that identity as part of the Java Dwipa Alliance should not make others target you. This alliance should be used as a weapon. In this regard, Mary Bhakti seems to have understood this well. He created a territorial alliance known as the Java Alliance Dwipa—Alliance Dewi Urangayu, which would provide protection for all who joined him, such as the protection afforded by the Jawa Dwipa Alliance itself.
Heru Cokro strongly supports the steps he has taken. He hoped that while the members of the Jawa Dwipa Alliance kept the honor and strength of the alliance, they could also build influence in their respective regions. With their territories as the center, they will be able to spread their influence throughout Indonesia. This is an important step to building a strong foundation, instilling deep roots, and forming a vast network. Only this way would they be able to truly face the IKN Alliance.
Heru Cokro packed his statement carefully, but he was basically telling Aryasatya Wijaya that if he continued to fall behind, Indrayan would be isolated. Even their current ally, the Karno Family, would probably join the Queen Kidul Alliance.
Hearing this, Aryasatya Wijaya looked uncomfortable. He immediately responded, "Don't worry, I know what to do!"
Heru Cokro nodded. After all, Aryasatya Wijaya was his sister-in-law, and he did not want to make her feel reprimanded. Of course, he would not let Indrayan slump just like that. He promised that the Jawa Dwipa Alliance would support the development of Indrayan through Bank Nusantara.
Heru Cokro hopes Aryasatya Wijaya will improve the reputation of the Jawa Dwipa Alliance and be able to attract other players to unite against the Ratu Kidul Alliance. He did not want to see Mojokerto fall into the hands of another alliance.
And if the situation allows, after maintaining stability in Kalimantan, the Jawa Dwipa Alliance will send their troops to help Indrayan, especially if Sesaji Kalalodra does not attack Fort Le Moesiek Revole. Their goal was to take over the island of Borneo.
Heru Cokro has seen Borneo as a forbidden territory and does not want other rulers to enter it. After speaking with Aryasatya Wijaya, Heru Cokro did not look for any other members to talk further.
At 5pm, all the girls returned from Pantura, ending their adventure there. To enliven the night, Heru Cokro decided to throw a party at the Ruler's Residence. During the party, she arranges stunning dance and singing performances, providing entertainment for all present.
After dinner, Heru Cokro invites everyone to gather in the back garden, where they will enjoy a bonfire party. This was part of his plan to strengthen the relationship between them. Heru Cokro hopes that everyone will not only become business partners, but also brothers and sisters. They will support each other not only in the game, but also in the real world in the future.
Among all the members, especially the nobles, they often felt lonely from interacting with the NPC characters for too long. People like Hesty Purwadinata and Maria Bhakti who have friends around them can still hold up well in such situations.
However, people like Abraham Moses and Habibi felt very lonely. That is why they quickly approach each other and become good friends. They find much-needed support and understanding for each other.
Heru Cokro understood how much pressure the rulers had to endure. Their position as a leader is not easy. The pressure they faced was far greater than any other adventurous players could imagine. Even Genkpocker, who often looks like a slacker, is actually trying to find an escape from the pressure he feels inside him. He did that to set a good example to the others, just like Ki Ageng Pemanahan did.
In light of this, Heru Cokro strongly emphasized the importance of communication between members of the alliance. Just relying on the available alliance channels was not enough to achieve the great goal he had dreamed of. In addition, the alliance channel is a public channel, so it is not suitable to talk about personal or deep issues in it.
